Ultra-Orthodox mob locks cops in building; then suspect flees dressed as woman 3 officers hurt in Mea Shearim as arrest raid — targeting suspects in series of Jerusalem protests — turns violent By Stuart Winer Today, 4:13 pm Police ran into violent clashes Monday night in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox Mea She’arim neighborhood, with three officers suffering mild injuries. During an initial arrest raid, a group of officers was trapped in a building after local residents barricaded them inside with chains. A suspect wanted by police tried to evade arrest the next day by dressing as a woman. Police arrived with court-ordered arrest warrants for several suspects as part of an ongoing investigation, the force said in a statement Tuesday. The suspects were wanted for a spate of recent violent protests against a new route of the Jerusalem Light Rail that passes through an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, Hebrew media reported. As officers moved in to make the arrests, they were met with violent opposition by local residents who pelted them with various objects and attacked them, the statement said.

(Yonatan Sindel/Flash90) Sindel/Flash90) Additional police units deployed as backup were also attacked and damage was caused to police vehicles. Police used riot dispersal means to clear the protesters. In one location, residents locked doorways using chains, preventing entry or exit from a building. Officers operating in the area needed to be rescued by other police units. Returning on Tuesday to follow up on the arrests, police detained one of the wanted suspects who tried to evade capture by wearing women’s clothes and a face mask, the statement said. No further arrests were apparently made, though police said they were working on tracking down additional suspects. The three injured officers required medical treatment, police said.

Rather, Netanyahu said the only options are Gideon Sa’ar reneging on his New Hope party’s central campaign promise not to join forces with the Likud leader, or holding special, one-off direct elections for prime minister, an idea floated — and criticized by many — in recent days. “We don’t need Ra’am,” the prime minister said at a press conference. “We need direct elections so that we can form a government.” “I want to get to the point where we are forming a right-wing government, and the way to do that without relying on one faction or another is direct elections,” Netanyahu said. The direct election proposal, however, appears doomed, after officials in the Ra’am party on Tuesday said it’s unlikely to support the idea. Amid the ongoing deadlock following the election, a Likud proposal regarding party representation on the key transitional Arrangements Committee was voted down by the Knesset Monday when Ra’am voted with the opposition. The Arab Israeli party then supported a counterproposal from the opposition that was passed, giving the anti-Netanyahu bloc a majority on the committee. Ra’am’s cooperation with the anti-Netanyahu parties came after it had been courting both Knesset blocs during negotiations to form a government. Netanyahu was hoping to build a right-wing government based on outside support from Ra’am, but the idea has been rejected outright by the far- right Religious Zionism party, which has repeatedly said it will not stay in a coalition that relies on cooperation with Arab Israeli parties. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, center, arrives for the Likud party faction meeting at the Knesset, in Jerusalem on April 19, 2021. (Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90) To form a majority in the Knesset, Netanyahu would need to have Religious Zionism and the right-wing Yamina party on board, as well as outside support from Ra’am. In the wake of Ra’am voting to stop the Likud proposal, Religious Zionism lawmakers remarked that it further strengthened their view that a government cannot in any way be dependent on Ra’am, even for external support. Facing Netanyahu is the Lapid-led “change bloc” of parties from the right, left, and center. That bloc will also be unable to form a government without Yamina and Ra’am. Neither party has committed to either side. With his chances of forming a coalition appearing to fade away, Netanyahu is now backing an effort — which would block Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid’s path to the premiership and prevent a fifth consecutive Knesset election — to reintroduce direct elections for prime minister. “There is a solution to the deadlock and it is a direct election for the prime minister to let the public decide who will lead the country. It is currently impossible to form a right-wing government because of personal matters,” Netanyahu said on Tuesday. On Monday, the ultra-Orthodox Shas party submitted a bill to hold a special election next month to pick the prime minister as a way of resolving a political deadlock that has seen four inconclusive elections in two years, the last of which was held in March. Should the Shas bill pass into law it would prevent Lapid from having a chance to form a government even if Netanyahu fails to do so, and would also end Yamina chair Naftali Bennett’s bid to be prime minister as part of a rotation deal. In addition, it would block Blue and White leader Benny Gantz from taking over as prime minister in November, as is the current arrangement under the unity government agreement with Likud, if no coalition is formed by then. Lapid immediately dismissed Netanyahu’s call for a direct election just for prime minister, writing on Twitter: “Netanyahu, the State of Israel doesn’t need another election. This isn’t a direct election, it is a bypass aimed at buying time at the public’s expense.” “It is time to form an Israeli unity government. It is possible,” Lapid added, referring to a potential government that doesn’t include Likud, which would face significant hurdles since it would have to include both right-wing and Arab parties, or both ultra-Orthodox and secularist parties. While a direct election for prime minister would automatically determine who would form the government, it would not change the coalition arithmetic, and the winner would still need to form a coalition from the same parties elected in March.

Paterson Sydney Angus and Robertson 1905 Preface The object of the present publication is to gather together all the old bush songs that are worth remembering. Apart from other considerations, there are many Australians who will be reminded by these songs of the life of the shearing sheds, the roar of the diggings townships, and the campfires of the overlanders. The diggings are all deep sinking now, the shearing is done by contract, and the cattle are sent by rail to market, while newspapers travel all over Australia; so there will be no more bush ballads composed and sung, as these were composed and sung, as records of the early days of the nation. In their very roughness, in their absolute lack of any mention of home ties or of the domestic affections, they proclaim their genuineness.

  • Response Questions April 19
    Questions for Adults • We live in a dangerous, sin cursed world. God is acting to rescue us through the mission of Jesus Christ. How do you feel about Jesus, that he would leave the glory of heaven behind and enter this dangerous world to rescue you? How should we respond to Jesus' rescue mission? • Read 1 Corinthians 15:26. Death is identified as an enemy. How can you relate to this description? What encouragement do you find in the statement that death will be destroyed? • Pastor John mentioned that Christians responded differently from their neighbors during the Cyprian Plague of 250-270 AD. How can Christians respond to the Corona virus pandemic day to love and serve our neighbors? Questions for Families with Students and Youth I want you to imagine with me that you are living in the Star Wars universe prior to Episode IV, A New Hope. The Empire’s reach knows no limitations. The universe is in turmoil and despair. The galaxy is hopeless. This is the world in which Princess Leia records a message in which she asks for help from an old Jedi (you know the line from the movie), “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” • What about our world today? What are some things that make it seem that we are without hope? (think about top news stories) • The world is a mess, we are human beings full of sin and capable of hurting others. • However, Paul reminds us that we have something that has given us a hope greater than the sin and despair of this world we live in…what is it? hint- we just celebrated it (resurrection) Read 1 Corinthians 15: 30-33 in The Message Bible 30-33 And why do you think I keep risking my neck in this dangerous work? I look death in the face practically every day I live.

  • Three Songs of Reinmar Der Alee a Formal-Structural Interpretation
    This dissertation has been microfilmed exactly ss received 66-1860 WEDGWOOD, Stephen H ensleigh, 1936- THREE SONGS OF REINMAR DER ALTE: A FORMAL-STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION. The Ohio State University, Fh.D., 1965 Language and Literature, modem University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THREE SONGS OF REINMAR DER ALEE A FORMAL-STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Hensleigh Wedgwood, A.B., M.A. The Ohio State University 1965 Approved by v Adviser, Department of German PREFACE The modern interpreter of medieval literature faces certain difficulties which are, by the nature of things, insurmountable. The most serious from a practi­ cal viewpoint is perhaps the lack of reliable texts. The manuscripts which transmit Reinmar's songs, for example, date at the earliest from the end of the thirteenth cen­ tury — nearly a century after the death of the poet. During the several generations which separate the songs' composition from their collection and copying in the various manuscripts, numerous corruptions, omissions, and rearrangements necessarily occurred which, despite the best efforts of distinguished textual scholars since Karl Lachmann and before, simply cannot be rectified. The critic, seeking to approach and understand Reinmar and the other Minnesingers, deals at best with an approxima­ tion of what the poet actually sang. In yet another sense our understanding of Rein- mar's songs can only be approximate. Reinmar, like his contemporaries, was as much composer as poet. Words and music of the Minnesanp; were created together, each song in its own characteristic "Ton," and undoubtedly the musi­ cal structure of the songs in large part determined their verbal form.

Welcome to the 14th annual Fit for a King summit which is annual tribute to the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. This is our first virtual summit. We miss seeing you in person. Before we begin, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge that any time we talk about housing, we are also talking about land, while we may be virtual this year, the land we occupy is indigenous land. I'm coming to you from what we now call New Orleans, but it was once known as -- a place of many tongues and home to tribes such as the Houma, and Choctaw tribes among others. As we talk today as displacement and resistance in Louisiana, we hope to honor this indigenous history in the ongoing struggle against colonialization of this land. We know this is important to remember as we combat environmental racism, our topic for today which has had devastating impacts on indigenous communities for generations. We also recognize that indigenous leaders have been at the forefront for fighting environmental justice. For environmental justice. We have lost family members, neighbors, and friends to the COVID 19 pandemic, particularly communities of color that have been hit hard due to generations of systematic racism. We watched as gorge Floyd and too many others were murdered. We've seen desperation grow as policy makers inability to prioritize health and safety has put 30 million at risk of eviction.

    Feb. 6, 2003 MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE CREW OF STS-107 JOHNSON SPACE CENTER FEBRUARY 4, 2003 TRANSCRIPT: RABBI HAROLD ROBINSON: The Hebrew Poet Bialic wrote: (Reciting Hebrew.) After my death, mourn me thus, there was a man and sea. He is no more. Before his time, his life was ended, and the melody of their lives were broken in its midst. Oh, they had one more melody and now that melody is lost, lost forever. Eternal God, when we view our little planet from out in space, we learn the unity of all humanity here on Earth. We are one as you are one. Did you not teach us this from the very beginning? As we read "And God created humanity in God's own image." Still the ancient Psalmist asked and prayed, “Eternal God, what are we that you have regard for us? What are we that you are mindful of us? We are like a breath, our days are as a passing shadow. We come and go like grass, which in the morning shoots up renewed and in the evening fades and withers. You cause us to revert to dust saying return, oh mortal creatures, would that we were wise that we would understand wither we are going, for when we die we carry nothing away; our glory does not accompany us. Mark the whole-hearted, behold the upright, for their end is peace. Oh God, you redeem the souls of all your servants and none of those who trust in you shall ever be forsaken.” (Reciting Hebrew.) May the abode of all creation grant consolation to all who mourn, comfort to all the bereaved, even here, oh God, you are the fountain from which our healing flows.

Whether we are talking about two people or two hundred people, any notion of Us presumes the individual—presumes the Me. And while for the sake of appearances we often project a Me that is stable and solid, completely put to- gether - for many of us the real Me is barely holding it together. We suppress. We ignore. We hide the truth of our lives, the truth of what it means to be Me. During these days and weeks of Lent we are hoping to be a safe place for you to be honest with all of who you are. We are inviting you to find strength and heal- ing by acknowledging that sometimes our lives are not perfectly put together.
