What's going on? If anyone thought that the WhatsApp videos about Schneider during the Bnei Brak municipal elections were the height of bad taste, they were quickly proven wrong.
While the entire nation is praying, worrying, and worrying about the safety of the kidnapped, the telephone network has collapsed from hundreds of false messages, so if we believe them - the IDF has turned Hebron upside down, moved it into a triangle, and rearranged it into a circle.
Further along the way, we conquered Lebanon and Syria, and this was even before the ultra-Orthodox Nahal's exploits.

I wonder how long it will take before we receive announcements about the coming of the Messiah, including the description of his donkey's ears, and reports of the IDF's invasion of Eritrea to liberate the Ten Tribes.
There's an old joke, appropriate to the circumstances: I woke up this morning and wasn't sure what day it was. A neighbor told me it was Thursday, and at the synagogue they were reading from the Torah and even singing the Thursday song. I calmed down and realized it was indeed Thursday. Then they wrote on WhatsApp that today was Thursday.
So what day is it today?
Hitchhikes: Following the kidnapping, the discussion about whether hitchhiking is forbidden/allowed/not allowed has resurfaced, and the discussion will surely continue for a long time.
But I'm more bothered by a different kind of hitchhiker. Those who take a ride on the tragedy as if it were a business venture. Forgotten singers suddenly release a song and ask to perform it everywhere, artists no one has heard of produce a performance that will give them screen time, and a grocery store in Rishon LeZion that sells Sprite at a discount for "the situation.".
Maybe that's enough?
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: And speaking of hitchhikers, how can we do it without Oren Zarif? The guy who never misses an opportunity for self-promotion published a letter to the cabinet in which he proposed using his supernatural powers to free the kidnapped and to consult on the matter with "supernatural entities" with whom he is in contact.
And I call on the cabinet, do not ignore Oran Zarif, listen to what he has to say, with due attention, and then anoint him as the Messiah or hospitalize him.
The cheaper of the two is Tel.
Torah of Grace: Today it became clear that Judge David Rosen is sending Uri Lupolianski to six years behind bars. There is no dispute about the facts, Uri did not take a single shekel into his pocket, and all the money was given as a donation and used for charity.
The secularists are always outraged that the Haredim appropriate the practice of kindness for themselves. "We understand kindness too," they cry out.
So no, you really are not, and Judge Rosen made that clear today with a stamp.
Some conclusions about journalists:
• They are able to broadcast the same news over and over again with the same serious attitude.
• There is nothing embarrassing about a secular journalist trying to present an understanding of religious issues.
• Journalists are the most boring creatures in the world. Why? Try attending their parties.
• The next journalist who says he's going to "kidnap an interviewee" should be sent to trial by Judge Rosen.
