America: Federal Court Rules: Clean Water Isn't a Constitutional Right…..
……next, They may RULE it is Permissable to poison you, and Not be held liable!?
Breaking: Federal Court Rules There's No Constitutional Right To Clean Drinking Water
On September 4, 2026, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the Constitution does not guarantee Americans the right to clean drinking water. The decision, decided 10-5, upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by residents of Jackson, Mississippi, over the city's long-running lead contamination crisis.
The court also ruled that public officials have no constitutional duty to tell residents the truth about water safety, even during a public health emergency.
The case centered on lead, but the ruling itself goes far beyond a single danger.
The court also ruled that public officials have no constitutional duty to tell residents the truth about water safety, even during a public health emergency.
The case centered on lead, but the ruling itself goes far beyond a single danger.
What the Court Actually Decided
The lawsuit, Sterling v. City of Jackson, was filed in 2022 by four residents who said city officials knew Jackson's water system had serious problems as early as 2010, failed to fix them, and then told residents the water was safe anyway. Testingby the Mississippi State Department of Health between 2010 and 2013 showed lead levels in the city's water rising sharply.
The residents argued this violated their constitutional right to bodily integrity under the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause. The 5th Circuit, however, disagreed.
In the majority opinion, Judge Kurt Engelhardt wrote that while the deprivation of clean water was "grievous," it did not infringe on any deeply rooted constitutional right, and that no historical or legal tradition supports one.
Five judges dissented, arguing the residents' claims should have at least been allowed to proceed to discovery.
Why Mississippi's Lead Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg
The ruling doesn't just apply to Jackson, and it doesn't just apply to lead either. Here's what it means in practice:
There's no constitutional right to clean drinking water at all—regardless of the contaminant involved, whether that's lead, PFAS, glyphosate, or any of the 324+ dangers detected in U.S. tap water supplies.
There's no constitutional duty for officials to tell the truth about water safety, even during a known public health crisis.
Existing regulations, like the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule, are unaffected—but this ruling narrows the legal options residents have if a local water system fails and officials don't act.
The bottom line is federal environmental law still sets the rules, but if a local government falls short, or misleads the public about water quality, this ruling may make it significantly harder to hold anyone accountable.
How We Got Here
2010–2013: Mississippi State Department of Health testing shows lead levels rising in Jackson's water supply.
2022: Jackson residents file suit, alleging the city knowingly allowed lead contamination and misrepresented the water as safe.
2025: A divided three-judge 5th Circuit panel revives part of the residents' case.
2026: The full 5th Circuit agrees to rehear the case, vacating that earlier ruling.
September 2026: The full court rules against the residents, finding no constitutional right to clean water or truthful information from officials.
What This Means for You (No Matter Where You Live)
This ruling doesn't change what's already in your tap water, and it doesn't change existing testing requirements either. What it does is remove one more avenue for accountability if a local water system experiences contamination and officials aren't forthcoming about it.
In other words, don’t rely on regulators or courts alone to protect you from the dangers of tap water.
While ordinary filters protect you from as few as 5 of the 324+ dangers detected in our tap water, our advanced Affinity® Filtration Technology protects you from up to 386+ common contaminants—including lead, fluoride, glyphosate, and hundreds more dangers others miss.

Turkey & France…… Massive wildfires in Turkey: flames have reached residential areas Plus
Intense, sudden wildfires have broken out in the Karaöz area of the Aksu district, Antalya province, Turkey. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Driven by strong winds, the fire spread rapidly to new areas and began threatening residential zones. As the flames approached homes, dozens of residents had to be evacuated. The fire spread toward neighboring areas—including Yeşilkaraman, Kızıllı, Hatipler, and Çamlıca—and reached the border of the Döşemealtı district. Evacuations were carried out due to the threat, and some roads were closed. Strong winds posed a particular danger, carrying burning debris to new areas and sparking additional hotspots.
The flames spread in multiple directions simultaneously. At present, the fire is not under control, though containment efforts are ongoing.
Hidden Jewish Children's Stories
Is there really a Book of Life? Do I have to forgive everyone who’s hurt me? And wait—Yom Kippur isn’t actually Judgment Day? I sat down with Rabbi Dovi Cohen, former monk and host of Rabbi in the Hot Seat, to unpack five major misconceptions about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We also get into the deeper meaning of apples and honey and what the shofar is really telling us. This conversation is uplifting, surprising, and honestly a little shocking. If the High Holidays have always felt heavy, I hope this episode helps you approach them with more meaning, connection, and joy.

ECONOMIC WAR ON ISRAEL: UK, France And Canada Lead Coordinated Boycott Of Jewish Communities In Judea And Samaria
What a bunch of liars! Wait until they are screaming and flying a white flag while drowning under Arab control and persecution!
Britain, France and Canada are moving to ban trade with Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, spearheading a coordinated international campaign targeting Jewish businesses and communities as Western governments dramatically escalate their pressure on Israel.
The measures announced Tuesday go considerably beyond diplomatic condemnations. Britain says it will prohibit imports of goods produced in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria, while France and Canada have committed to advancing their own national bans. A joint statement involving 12 countries also threatens broader national or European trade restrictions.
The coordinated action includes Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Britain, France and Canada specifically committed to bringing forward national measures banning trade in settlement goods.
British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced the dramatic shift in Parliament, declaring that London now considers Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria unlawful and saying Britain would move from merely criticizing Israeli policy to taking concrete action against it.
The situation in Palestine is a moral emergency…. What the Netanyahu government is doing in Gaza is a stain on the conscience of the world, and there is increasing evidence war crimes appear to have been committed….
There is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank, perpetrated by settler terrorists. And too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this. And worse, members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians.
We will not stand by.”
The British measures are expected to extend beyond physical goods. Restrictions will also target certain services connected to Israeli communities, including financing, construction, infrastructure, real estate and advertising.
The governments behind the campaign openly tied their decision to Israel’s continued construction in Judea and Samaria, particularly the E1 project near Yerushalayim.
“The Government of Israel’s actions in the West Bank are undermining the possibility of a two-State solution,” the 12 foreign ministers said in their joint declaration.
They specifically attacked Israel’s decision to publish tenders for E1 construction and demanded that the Israeli government “immediately halt the expansion of settlements and civilian administrative powers.”
The move represents another sharp escalation in a campaign of international pressure that critics in Israel view as a discriminatory attempt to dictate where Jews may live and conduct business in their historic homeland.
It also comes as Israel continues to grapple with the security consequences of the October 7 massacre and years of Palestinian terrorism emanating from Judea and Samaria — realities that received comparatively little emphasis in the governments’ announcement. The joint statement did condemn Hamas’ October 7 massacre and acknowledged Israel’s legitimate security interests, but nevertheless placed its concrete punitive measures squarely on Israel.
The Trump administration has already signaled strong opposition to the British move.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned that the policy amounted to “discrimination against the Jewish people” and could have consequences for British businesses under anti-boycott laws in a number of U.S. states.
Israeli ministers responded furiously as well. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for Britain’s ambassador to be expelled, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to shutter Britain’s consulate in eastern Yerushalayim.
The economic impact of Britain’s goods ban itself may ultimately be limited. Annual UK-Israel bilateral trade stands at roughly £6 billion, and questions remain over precisely how British authorities will distinguish products manufactured in Judea and Samaria from those produced elsewhere in Israel.
But the precedent is far more significant: major Western governments are formally establishing mechanisms to economically isolate Jewish communities beyond the Green Line, raising fears that the measures could provide momentum for a much broader boycott campaign against Israel.

Reader responses to the above:
**They are calling for the establishment of Hamastan on the border of Tel Aviv and major population centres. They didn’t learn the lesson from October 7!
They conveniently “forgot” that in the past century it was the Palestinians and broader Arab world that multiple times categorically rejected the “2-state solution”!
Even today in English and in diplomatic circles, they call for 2-state, but in Arabic within their own environment, they are calling for “Palestine from the river to the sea”!
The Arabs are also holding hostage 5m “refugees” waiting to impose the right-of-return and to destroy the “Jewish State” demographically!
This is the same Britain, who categorically refused to bomb Auschwitz and who’s soldiers in Palestine watch in glee as Jews were murdered by the Arabs.
**Dear Mr British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and Your European Colleagues,
As Europeans, you are uniquely and hypocritically positioned to criticize and boycott the State of Israel given your hundreds of years of blood-soaked, colonial imperialism across every continent.
Consider that the basis of your understanding of right and wrong is the Bible. Most of its pages were written in ancient Israel by Jewish men. To be consistent, please rid yourself of that book. In fact, you believe your messiah himself was also created in ancient Israel. Yes, Bethlehem of Judea is one of the “territories” captured from Jordan in Israel’s 1967 war of self-defense.
You Christians do not believe your messiah was an Apache, or an Angle, or a Moor, or an Eskimo, or a Swede, or an Italian, or a Mongol, or a Chinese, or a Saxon, or a Mexican, or a Aleut, or a Celt, or a Viking, or a Norman, or a Scot, or a Hun, or a Persian, or a Samoan, or a Vietnamese, or an Arab, or a Houthi. No. You believe he was a Jew born in the Jewish homeland. He was born in one of the “territories.” Go ahead. Boycott your messiah.
Have a Jewish New Year filled with abundant repentance
** Hey Miliband how is the 2 state solution working out in the U.K.? Do you enjoy the gang rapes,prayer rugs on the streets,sharia law,hijabs?Have you read the Koran?You are an infidel per the Koran.And at that you are also a self hating and quite ignorant Jew.Sad but true.
GUESS WHAT :
You Deserved this UK:
Airlines scrambled Wednesday to dig out from the backlog triggered by technical problems at Britain’s air traffic control system that has forced the cancellation of more than 1,750 flights.
Another Type of Yeshiva: Sons of Yitzchak | Avi Schnall
When i look at these bochurim (even tho an ai depiction) i remember what i read in the fascinating book, “The Miracle”
It was about the 50 or so bochurim that were sent into auschwitz-birkenau and then were taken out! Thats the miracle!! They lived and are interviewed in this book. But what was so much more revealing and tearing eyes generated, were the events these 50 plus the other hundreds (maybe thousands of youths, male and female) that lived thru their ingenuity and daring, roll call after roll call in front of that Herr Doctor the rest of their years in that rat hole! I highly recommend this book; its not like the other Holocaust books, even they also were/are worthy of a read.

Some Alarming Information.....
I have not interviewed Yishai Fleisher to ascertain his response to this. This was forwarded to me from Israel Christian Watch.
Abraham's ShieldThis would not be the first time Fleischer has had associations with missionaries.
Chaim Malespin is a well-known missionary, and his work with the Aliyah Return Center is notorious. Ask anyone who understands the topic of missionaries in Israel. Malespin is a menace.
It is about time that people call out people like Yishai Fleisher (Hillel Fuld and others) for taking selfies with such a dangerous spiritual predator.
Contact them, and ask them why they saw fit to take pictures with Chaim Malespin.
At what point will Jews demand that people supposedly advocating for Israel are held to task for such irresponsible behavior? (cont.)
He has also praised the Evangelical Hayovel organization which operates in Samaria, organizing Christian "volunteers," and establishing a permanent presence in the Har Bracha area.
[me: this i heard myself on Parsha Inspired, how he praised Waller and Hayovel. Fleisher needs to be questioned about this and why he feels he needs to support the ripping away of Jewish Israelis into the Christian farce!?]

Before You Believe the “Settler Violence” Headlines, Watch This
Together with Homeward Bound Michoel's explanation, the Govt. needs to do what is honest and correct in this situation; and not abide by what the US wants (as one notices where Amb Huckabee has been visiting lately (see Esser Agaroth)!
This other week, the jihadi village of Qusra was back in the news with the same dishonest script: Jews blamed, “settler extremists” accused, Jewish self-defense treated as the scandal.
That framing is a lie. Jihadis attacked Jews. Jews retaliated. The media and too many Israeli officials still blamed the Jews.
In this video Avi Abelow breaks down what the headlines refuse to say about Qusra, Judea and Samaria, hilltop youth, illegal Palestinian Authority construction, and the collapse of deterrence after Oslo.
First, young Jews are filling a vacuum the IDF left open. A healthy nation does not need civilians to impose a price on attackers. That is the army’s job. But restrictive rules of engagement taught the jihadi population a dangerous lesson: attack Jews, then watch the Jewish response become the international story. Deterrence has to come before the next ambush, not after it.
Second, this is a 30-year land war the Palestinian Authority has been winning. With European Union money, the PA spreads illegal building onto empty strategic ridges overlooking Jewish communities and roads. The house outside Qusra was not a random home. Whoever holds that mountain holds eyes on Jewish life below. Hilltop farms and outposts exist because someone finally moved to stop that takeover.
Third, U.S. citizenship is being used as a weapon against Israel. The builder’s American passport pulls in the U.S. embassy and turns a local clash into pressure on Israeli policy in Judea and Samaria, even under a pro-Israel administration. Israel should say the truth out loud instead of issuing vague apologies.
Fourth, the Palestinian Authority is not a peace partner. It fields more than 60,000 armed, U.S.-trained men. Hamas sent a few thousand on October 7. Pretending the PA is a municipal police force is denial.
Qusra is not a story about a few angry kids on a hill. It is a story about missing deterrence, a land war we will not name, foreign-passport lawfare, and a generation of Jews who will not be sitting ducks.
Stick with Pulse of Israel for the full story. Strengthen your faith. Am Yisrael Chai.

דגל התורה זה שהמנהיגים בוחרים את הנציגים": דברים נוקבים מהגאון הגדול רבי בצלאל פנחסי שליט"א
All For The Kinderlach!?
HaRav Zilberstein Responds: “Who Should Watch The Children During Rosh Hashana Davening?”
In recent days, a chizuk gathering was held in the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood of Bnei Brak for hundreds of wives of local avreichim ahead of the upcoming Yamim Noraim.
At the center of the event, a special shailos u’teshuvos was screened with the Rav of Ramat Elchanan, the renowned posek HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Zilberstein, with the questions presented by his grandson, Reb Chaim Malin.
The full Shailos U’Teshuvos, as transcribed by Kikar H’Shabbat:
Shailah: What kabbalah should one make ahead of Rosh Hashanah? There are so many areas — Shabbos, tznius, lashon hara, limmud Torah, helping one’s husband. What is the most important thing? One cannot take on everything at once. What is one thing the women can accept that will stand in their zechus on the Yom HaDin?
HaRav Zilberstein responded by singing: “‘Ki eshmerah Shabbos, Kel yishmereini, os hi l’olmei ad beino uveini’ — ‘If I observe Shabbos, Hashem will protect me; it is an eternal sign between Him and me.’ Who composed this song? The Ibn Ezra. And what does the Rambam write about him in his letters? ‘The chacham Rebi Avraham Ibn Ezra, zt”l, revealed deep and tremendous secrets that only someone of his stature can understand, etc., for he was like Avraham Avinu.”
“The Rambam tells us that the Ibn Ezra was like the neshama and ruach of Avraham Avinu, and this great Ibn Ezra testifies here: ‘If I observe Shabbos, Hashem will protect me.’ Someone who observes Shabbos has special protection from HaKadosh Baruch Hu. So the best thing there is, what I know with absolute certainty, is Shemiras Shabbos.”
“Do not speak idle words on Shabbos!”
Shailah: So what does Saba suggest that these women be mechazeik in, halacha l’maaseh? What specific point should they take upon themselves?
HaRav Zilberstein: “Be mechazeik in Shemiras Shabbos by not speaking a single idle word, only telling beautiful stories and stories from Tanach, only matters of yiras Shamayim.”
Shailah: How can one bring the atmosphere of the Yamim Noraim into the home? Today, the outside world draws people in, and it is sometimes difficult to concentrate and think about the fact that the din is approaching. How can a Jewish mother bring this simple concept into her home — that there is a din and we are about to stand trial?
HaRav Zilberstein: “A woman should tell her children: ‘Today, today is the birthday of the world. Elul! Oy, Ani l’dodi v’dodi li, haro’eh bashoshanim — I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine, He Who shepherds among the roses.’ What a magnificent expression: ‘I am my Beloved’s.’ And who is my Beloved? HaKadosh Baruch Hu. ‘And my Beloved is mine, He Who shepherds among the roses.’ We must instill this in the hearts of all the children in the neighborhood. I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine. I belong to Hashem and Hashem belongs to me, He Who shepherds among the roses.
“What does ‘He Who shepherds among the roses’ mean? He shepherds them among roses, and that’s why the flock does not run away from Him. Some shepherds beat their sheep so they won’t run away. They stay because they’re afraid. But HaKadosh Baruch Hu shepherds us among roses. He gives us the beautiful fragrance of Torah and mitzvos, and therefore we don’t leave Him because of our great love and attraction. This must be explained to the children at home.”
Shailah: How can a woman who works to support her family be mechazeik herself? Some women work very hard, such as in programming, and barely have time to breathe between all their responsibilities at home. How can they be mechazeik themselves? As girls, they had chizzuk talks in school and learned some mussar. Today, they barely have time to breathe. They’re occupied with the home, which is a great mitzvah, since the entire household depends on her. But how can women who have almost no time be mechazeik themselves ahead of Rosh Hashanah?
HaRav Zilberstein: “The husband should come home with a new story of chizuk every day, and then tell it to his wife. It is the husband’s responsibility to be mechazeik his wife. Is she hefker here?! He married a woman, and he must care for her. How should he care for her? Every day when he comes home, he should bring a story from Tanach or something he heard in kollel and be mechazeik her.
Shailah: Who should watch the children during davening — the mother or the daughter? The husband is at davening, but there is an older daughter, age 15 or 16, and they are unsure who should go to davening. The mother says, ‘I can ask my daughter, and she’ll listen to me.’ The question is whether I should stay home with the children and let my daughter go to davening, or whether I should ask my daughter to watch them and go to davening myself.
HaRav Zilberstein: “They should split it. In other words, for half of the tefillos, the mother should watch the children, and for the other half, the daughter should watch them.”
Shailah: In conclusion, the women would like to hear words of bracha and chizzuk.
HaRav Zilberstein: “Tell the women this: If the husband is Jewish and the wife is not Jewish, the children are not Jewish. But if the wife is Jewish and the husband is an Arab — ya Ahmed, majnun — the children are Jews. That means that our koach lies with the woman, not the man. If the woman decides something, it is kodesh kodeshim. She’s the ba’alas habayis; she determines matters.
“No one knows this. Ignorant people think that these religious people discriminate against women. What nonsense. The woman is the one who determines. If she is Jewish, the children are Jewish, and only the woman, not anyone else. This is the greatest chizuk: that Jewish women should know their exalted status.”
