In a video uploaded last week to the Internet, Palestinian cleric Nidhal Siam “Abu Ibrahim,” speaking before a crowd at the Al-Aqsa mosque, said that this Ramadan, the Russian, American and British “devils” will be shackled.

He said that the “devils” know that every Muslim “constitutes a time bomb that will explode as soon as the Caliph of the Muslims gives the order [to] come to jihad.”

Abu Ibrahim said these countries have mobilized their armies throughout the Arab world in order to prevent the establishment of an Islamic state, not to fight Iran, which he said is a “seal ring on America’s pinky toe” that is “drowning in collaboration.”

He added that the emir of the believers will soon emerge and declare the liberation of Al-Aqsa.

“We already have demonstrated that hate and hateful acts are not going to be tolerated, and so if we could even take it a step further to define antisemitism and what that is like, then I want to be able to take that,” Jeannette Sánchez-Palacios told JNS.
The IDF said it would continue to operate in the security zone in accordance with the ceasefire agreement with Beirut.
City Hall is making “a mockery of open government, at least when it comes to the administration’s relationship with the Jewish community,” attorney Jack Lester told JNS.
‘I’m never going to forget this davening, two days or three days before Yom Kippur, where we’re again saying, ‘We’re here,’” Rabbi Haskel Lookstein told JNS.
