Of Being a Father, Reputation Management and Cyberstalking ......

Life is so very short yet so many waste these precious moments hurting others.
We hurt others due to ego, money and pride. Where does it start? Where does it end?

Perhaps without doubt the greatest hurt is being separated from your children.

I never imagined that a 2-3 week trip to the US from Israel to secure monies for my children from my family Trust would drag out to a 2 year nightmare. In the time I have spent in the US, I have been lucky enough to have received a tremendous amount of support from good friends.

I never imagined that my own brother, Brian Leyden, would do everything he could to actually separate me from my children.

At first, I had a judge whose attitude was go find a rock, go underneath it and die.
Thank god, she retired a few months ago to be replaced by a younger, more compassionate Judge who has promised to resolve each and every issue. And so far, she is proving to be far more human than most.

Also during this time I had the misfortune to meet three very disgusting, dishonest people.
One owes me money, the other was paid by my brother to discredit me and the third is an unemployed, mental patient who thinks only he will save Israel through his Facebook group.

Two of these people understand SEO - search engine optimization.
Not as well as me but good enough to try to hurt me and others that they disagree with.

They have both taken my love for my children and distorted it into such negative spin.
And most see through it. A few don't. And it's for the few that don't get it that has forced to me spend much time and money to clean the many distortions.

Have you read www.JoelLeydenFraud.com ?  

But I am not alone in being attacked online.
Thousands are every day.
And it has created a very large industry.

Consumer review sites. Reputation management sites. Content such as this for blogs, Facebook, Twitter and Google News. And the attorneys who thrive on this industry.

So they post on Scambook and I buy domain names.
The Websites make a fortune on this thread.
He said, she said --- and no one really cares except for the players.
And those taking our money.

Scambook.com and Ripoff.com request thousands of dollars to take down pure libel and slander.

www.alainhoroit.com

A good friend of mine is also being cyberstalked.
Alain Horoit, an entrepreneur living in Spain has an ex-girlfriend, Alina, posting that he is a thief, a bad guy, an alien from Mars who eats baby goats. If she could throw the sink at Alain - she would.
But Alain has one thing that she does not. The truth.

Not his truth but the truth according to a court in Europe stating that he does not owe her money. For her that appears not good enough as she really wants him - not his money.

Alain has spent over 16,000 Euros to get this court document.

But it doesn't stop his ex from posting more blogs.

What will Alain do? Go back to the police and the courts.

Who wins?
The attorneys!

For my stalkers - the ones who call me a "fraud", a "rapist" and "child molester", it will not be anything I say or do on the Net which will bear consequence - it will be law enforcement.

On this I will transcend charges of slander and libel.
I will not quietly walk away.

For the one living in Randolph, New Jersey (Moti) calling the police to complain about me turned out to be a very bad move for this professional con artist.
The police started to interrogate him!

He tells people that he is raising money for Syrian refugees and begs for their money yet he does not tell them that there is no non-profit organization. That all the money is going directly to his pockets.

The police, the IRS and the FBI are not happy.

The other stalker is the unemployed, mental patient (David) living in his parents basement in Dallas, Texas. He has become a professional computer hacker without clients. Spending countless, obcessive hours of his days tracking IP addresses and sneaking into people's email.

On his JIDF Facebook page - he bashes Israelis who have served in the IDF. He attacks respected Jewish and Israeli organizations.
But not one word on his Jewish Defense Facebook page about Israel's security, Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

I am not alone in my disappointment.

I wait for the FBI to take action.
For Facebook to close down his fake accounts.

I don't mention their full names here.

No need to.
This is not about destroying their reputations but rather having them stop hurting others. Hurting me and my children. Hurting my friends.
As a Jew, there is nothing more despicable than taking part in Lashon Hara - speaking badly about others. Does one actually think calling someone a "rapist" without any documentation is a good thing?

And this is not my job to stop them.
It is now the professional work of the FBI and I wait patiently for their phone call.

When having a serious dispute - don't go to Scambook.com or Ripoff.com.

Israel PM Netanyahu: US, France, UK Allowed The Holocaust

Israel PM Netanyahu: US, France, UK Allowed The Holocaust

By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency

 

Jerusalem, Israel --- June 15, 2013 … Part of the following was communicated by the Israel Prime Minister's Office to the Israel News Agency.

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, made the following remarks on Thursday at the dedication ceremony for the permanent pavilion at Block 27 at Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp.

"The leaders of the Allies (UK, US, France) knew about the Holocaust in real time. They understood exactly what was happening in the death camps. They were asked to act, they could have acted, and they did not. To we Jews the lesson is clear. We must not be complacent in the face of threats of annihilation. We must not bury our heads in the sand or allow others to do the work for us.

From here, the place that attests to the desire to destroy us, I, the Prime Minister of Israel, the state of the Jewish People, say to all the nations of the world: The State of Israel will do whatever is necessary to prevent another holocaust."

Netanyahu made the comments as other Israeli government ministers, Polish Minister of Culture and National Heritage Bogdan Zdrojewski, Director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum Piotr Cywinski, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate and exhibition curator Avner Shalev, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Council Rabbi Israel Meir Lau and Holocaust survivors looked on.

A definition of "Holocaust Shoah" is written on the wall of the exhibition foyer. As the visitor leaves the entrance, and enters this hallway in Auschwitz-Birkenau, the senses are suffused with the words and melody of prayer - a Jewish and universal expression of the human spirit. Upon entering the adjoining space, visitors are engulfed in an enveloping 360-degree cinematic montage of original footage of Jewish life between the two world wars. Following this sweeping panorama, visitors are confronted with the central tenets of Nazi German racist ideology, the main motivation behind the Germans' imperative of annihilating the Jewish people.

Netanyahu stated that the "so-called" Iranian presidential election will "change nothing" in the Islamic republic's quest for nuclear weapons and that the regime will continue to pursue a bomb aimed at destroying Israel.

"This is a regime that is building nuclear weapons with the expressed purpose to annihilate Israel's 6 million Jews," Netanyahu said, alluding to the number of Jews killed by the Nazis during World War II. "We will not allow this to happen. We will never allow another Holocaust."

Feeding the homeless ... you can too!

Joel Leyden taking fresh bread and danish to nearby shelters.

I make an effort at least twice a week to take fresh food from local bakeries to homeless shelters.

Those who stay at homeless shelters are down on their luck. Many seek employment and can't find anything. Some suffer from age discrimination while others may have emotional problems.

But regardless of the reason why they are in a homeless shelter - they have to eat.

Remember - you could be earning 100,000 dollars one day and the next day - nothing.

Always lend a hand to those in need.

Most bakeries throw away their excess fresh food before closing at night.

Go to the bakery, speak to the manager and let him / her know that you are willing to take their excess food to homeless shelters. They will be more than pleased to give you what they have. In fact, many bakery chains allot 300-500 dollars per day for food for the poor.

Among food producers in the US are Panera and Dunkin Donuts who have programs to distribute food to the poor.

Pick up the food and go directly to the nearest shelter. They will be more than pleased to accept all that you have. Just make sure that it is kept clean and packaged.

Remember - all you need is a car ... and a heart.    ;>

Israel Remembers The Holocaust

Israel Remembers The Holocaust

Israel News Agency

Jerusalem, Israel --- April 7, 2013 … Part of the following was communicated by the Israel Prime Minister's Office to the Israel News Agency.

The official Opening Ceremony for Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day in Israel will take place on Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 20:00, in Warsaw Ghetto Square, Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, Mount of Remembrance, Jerusalem.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this morning (Sunday, 7 April 2013), made the following remarks at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting:

"We have a deep obligation to the elderly in general and to Holocaust survivors in particular, first of all to their welfare and also to their security. Today, the Israeli Cabinet will approve a proposal formulated by myself and Israel Finance Minister Yair Lapid on the addition of NIS 50 million to the social welfare fund for the elderly and for Holocaust survivors, and I asked that an additional NIS 15 million be allocated for medicines, to make things easier for them. These people survived the horrors of the Holocaust. They participated in Israel's wars. They built the State of Israel; they are witnesses to our revival. Our obligation to them is that we will do all that is necessary. Israel is giving today and we will add whatever is necessary."

Israel’s President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are speaking.

"The Holocaust will not sink into the dark hole of history. It is here with us, burning, real," said President Shimon Peres.

"It resonates as we step on the stones of the ghettos. It floats like a ghost in the barracks of the camps. It cries from the prayer shawls, the hair, the shoes that we see with our own eyes. It whispers from the tears that dried before we said goodbye. It is reflected in the photographs of the babies in their mothers' arms. The noise of those murderous trains which have ceased stills rings in our ears. The smoke which has not faded as it drifted into the sky above. Survivors walk among us, the Holocaust and its horrors are with them every day. Their blood flows through our veins."

Peres adds: "The world must ask itself how a regime such as that in Iran can deny the Holocaust and threaten a new Holocaust so soon after six million people lost their lives. The threat of a Holocaust against one people is a threat of a Holocaust on all people."

by a Nazi Einsatzkommando (Mobile Killing Unit).

Avner Shalev, Chairman of the Yad Vashem Directorate, will kindle the Memorial Torch. Aliza Vitis-Shomron will speak on behalf of the survivors. Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird will attend the event.

During the ceremony, Holocaust survivors will light six torches. First torch: the late Peretz Hochman (who passed away a few days ago; his widow Sima will light the torch), second torch: Otto Dov Pressburger, third torch: Dina Ostrover, fourth torch: Eliezer Eizenschmidt, fifth torch: Miriam Liptcher,sixth torch: Baruch Kopold. During the ceremony, short videos about each of the torchlighters will be shown (produced and directed by Levi Zini).

The traditional memorial service will take place during the ceremony. The Rishon LeZion Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Shlomo Amar will recite Psalms. The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yona Metzger will recite Kaddish. El Maleh Rahamim, a Jewish prayer for the souls of the martyrs, will be recited by Cantor Azi Schwartz.

Participants in the ceremony include singer David D'Or and the Youth Movement Choir as well as the IDF Paratroopers’ Honor Guard. Narrative piece: actor Ishai Golan. The evening’s MC will be Oshrat Kotler.

The ceremony will be broadcast live on television on Israel TV Channels 1, 2, 10 and 33, and channel 9 in Russian, and for the first time on JLTV in the United States, and by radio on Kol Israel and Galei Zahal. It will last about one hour and a quarter.

At 22:00 a special radio program entitled “Shoah, Heroism and Definitions” that will explore the essence of heroism during the Holocaust, will air on Galei Zahal. The program will be presented by Ehud Graff and is a joint program of Yad Vashem and Galei Zahal (Army Radio).

Yad Vashem will be closed to the public as of 12 noon on April 7. It will re-open on Monday, April 8, at 8:00 a.m.

Remembering the Passover Massacre

Israel Remembers Passover Terrorism

Passover Massacre 2002: An Israeli child struggles for his life as he is  rushed to a nearby hospital in Netanya. There would be no Passover questions, no hidden matzah. Photo: Reuters

By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency

Jerusalem---From April 2004 - Upated March 25, 2013 .... It was 11 years ago and the days before Passover in Israel were not much different than today.

Cloudless skies, sun drenched streets, birds chirping as the Spring weather
smiled. The summer's intense sauna was ahead of us, and the winter's steady,
freezing rain has just passed.  Israeli shopping centers and Internet chat
rooms were abuzz with Israelis discussing Passover recipes, cleaning tips
and talk of vacations up north.

My wife, new born daughter and I had just arrived at my in-law's home for
Passover dinner in Netanya.

As we stood around the carpeted living room sharing compliments and jokes as
last minute Passover table preparations were being made, we heard a crack of
thunder.

This was not unusual. There was a slight drizzle coming down as we parked
the car minutes earlier.

Thunder storms are still generous in Israel's March before we enter the
seven months of endless days of sun. Then we heard an ambulance siren. Again
nothing usual about that either, there are an abundance of nursing homes
mixed in with the hotels marking Netanya's seafront. A second and third
siren screamed passed our building. The TV was turned on and we heard the
first reports of what is known today as the Passover Massacre.

In one of the most brutal terrorist attacks sustained by Israel, an Islamic
suicide terror bomber from the Hamas terrorist organization walked into
Netanya's Park Hotel on March 27, 2002. He strode passed the reception desk
and calmly walked into the main dining hall. As elderly Jews and children
were sitting over matza and chicken soup, the terrorist detonated a lethal
charge, murdering 29, and wounding 140. The dead included babies,
grandmothers and six married couples.

It was 7:30 p.m. and I had to make a judgment call, leave my family at the
start of this festive family meal or cover another terror attack in Israel.
I struggled with the decision, my family kept saying don't go. But I really
had no choice.

When I arrived on the scene, which was two blocks away, there were about a
dozen ambulances caring for the wounded.

Five dismembered and blood soaked bodies lay covered with blue and grey
blankets outside on the hotel's sidewalk. Many of the guests who had
survived the terror attack and were being rushed to nearby hospitals were
still dressed in their holiday best; the women in festive dresses, the men
in white shirts and dark pants.

Shreds of glass were sprinkled throughout the ground. The hotel lobby and
the second floor of the hotel had all of its windows blown out. The only
thing moving were the torn, white window curtains twisting in the cool wind.
A large pool of water created by the hotel's safety sprinkler system and
broken water pipes filled the reception area.

But this was not ground zero - broken glass and water were only a prelude to
the horror which was about 50 feet passed the front desk, the burned and
blood stained remains of a festive Passover dining room. White tables and
chairs were thrown several feet into the air, landing against the hotel wall
Unopened bottles of Passover wine and colorful flowers now littered the
floor. 

An eerie, death filled quiet had settled in where moments before
there was laughter, life and hope.

People were walking out of the hotel in a silent daze, all frozen in shock.
One elderly man walked slowly down the street with no apparent direction
wearing a blue dress suit with blood spilling out of his grey hair.
"I saw little children, bodies. And I want to say something to the Arab
leaders in Beirut. This is not resistance. This is murder. This is terrorism
it's most purest form" Natanya Mayor Miriam Feyerberg was telling the TV
cameras.

Among the dead and wounded in the bombing were entire families, Israelis and
foreign Jews visiting from abroad for the holiday. The force of the blast
devastated the dining hall, knocked down the facade of the hotel lobby,
shredded the paneled ceiling inside and crumpled cars parked on the street
outside.

Nichama Donenhirsch, a guest at the hotel, said that as she and her family
fled, they saw a little girl, about 10 to 12 years old, lying dead on the
ground, her eyes wide open as if in surprise.

Some of the wounded staggered out of the lobby, which was plunged into
darkness by the explosion. Others were taken to ambulances in stretchers,
including a young boy who had an oxygen mask pressed to the face. One
elderly man was covered by a blue blanket, blood dripping from his face. An
elderly woman, her face covered with blood, sat on the sidewalk, attended to
by several people.

The Park Hotel is located directly opposite the city square and on a hill
overlooking the beach. There are several other hotels in this residential
area of Netanya.

earlier were celebrating a Passover meal, lay lined up outside the Park Hotel in Netanya

As police arrived they started to create a perimeter, a safety area as
police sappers began searching for additional explosives. About one hour
after the attack took place, Israeli security forces discovered that
explosives had been placed inside one of the many ambulances at the scene.

Immediately all of the ambulances and rescue workers were evacuated.

Mayor Miriam Feyerberg spoke with me and stated that Israelis must remain
strong. That we all must continue with our lives, go to work, continue
shopping, visit restaurants, otherwise the terrorists would win. "In recent
days, these terrorist groups have begun describing their actions as acts of
resistance', but resistance is not blowing up children and babies,"
Feyerberg said. "As the Arab leaders are talking peace in Beirut, their
associates are committing some of the worst acts of barbarism ever witnessed
in present history. The Israeli government will not swallow this. The same
people who destroyed New York's World Trade Center are the same one's
responsible for tonight's atrocity." 

When the bomb exploded tonight, the Mayor had been attending a Seder - with mothers of the victims of last summer's (2001) bombing in Tel Aviv.

Over 62 people were rushed to Laniado Hospital, 15 in serious condition
among them a 45-year-old man and a 5-year-old boy, both with head injuries,
who were later moved from Laniado to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva.
Hospitals were overwhelmed, setting up triage in their synagogues and
shuffling the less seriously wounded to their cafeterias. As is usually the
case, the bomb contained nails and other metal pieces to enhance its lethal
effect.

Another 33 of the injured were taken to Meir Hospital in Kava Sava, two of
them in serious condition.

Israel accused Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat of doing nothing
to rein in terrorists. Raanan Gissin, a Sharon adviser, said the attack in
Netanya "will require us to reevaluate our overall policy. We are still
working to achieve a cease-fire to which we are fully committed, but if the
Palestinians have decided to choose the road of terrorism ... then we have
to decide what measures we will take," Gissin said.

Secretary of State Colin Powell had urged Arafat to go on television and
demand an end to attacks against Israelis. The attacks endanger any
negotiations toward a Palestinian state, Powell said.
"This sort of activity and the tolerance of this sort of activity will
destroy the very vision the Palestinian Authority stands for and Chairman
Arafat says he's committed to," Powell said in Washington.

The 2002 massacre in Netanya came just hours after Saudi Crown Prince
Abdullah presented a new peace initiative at the Arab summit in Beirut,
offering Israel normal relations with the Arab world in exchange for a
complete withdrawal from the territories it occupied in the 1967 Mideast war

Israeli police had been on high alert for possible attacks during the
Passover holiday, with more than 10,000 officers deployed in potential
trouble spots.

The country's police commissioner, Shlomo Aharonishki, said it was
impossible to prevent all attacks. ``Even with more policemen and a broader
deployment, we cannot block the centers of the cities,'' he said. ``This
attack is more evidence of that.''

Police and IDF roadblocks had been set up throughout the country with
increased patrols within both commercial and residential areas after the
Passover Massacre.

The mood in Israel had turned from festive Passover joy to depression and
anger.

Many Israelis who once held out hopes that a breakthrough peace agreement
might still be within reach, were eating matzah in March 2002 with salt in a
more realistic and pragmatic environment.

It takes two willing parties to negotiate a peace agreement and Israelis
have no plans to make a second Exodus here in the Middle-East.
After the Passover Massacre bombing, President Bush called on Arafat once
again to do all in his power to stop the escalating cycle of bloodshed.
This callous, this cold-blooded killing must stop. I condemn it in the
strongest terms. I call upon Arafat and the Palestinian Authority to do
everything in their power to stop the terrorist killing because there are
people in the Middle East who would rather kill than have peace," Bush said
during a stop in Atlanta. 

In Washington, D.C., Secretary of State Colin Powell formally labeled an Arafat-linked militia a terrorist organization yesterday. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a branch of Arafat's Fatah
organization, has claimed responsibility the week before for a suicide
bombing at a Jerusalem shopping mall that killed two and injured more than
60.
If Hamas, Hezbolah, Islamic Jihad and Fatah believe that they can wear down
the Israeli people - then don't know the Israeli Sabra and his resolve. As
Americans became stronger after September 11th, Israelis have also closed
political and religious ranks and prepared for measures which will prevent
future terror attacks. Those measures in the Spring of 2002 took the form of
the IDF's Operation Defensive Shield.

Today, Israeli Defense Minister, Shaul Mofaz announced during the government
cabinet session that the closure imposed on Judea, Samaria and the Gaza
Strip will last until after Independence Day. Mofaz added that security
authorities have decided on a series of preventative measures to thwart
terror attacks, including increased pressure on terror hubs, particularly in
Nablus.

The army and security services have once again gone on high alert in
anticipation of the Passover holidays. Defense sources report 50 warnings of
possible terrorist attacks, some in revenge for the assassination of Hamas
leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin two weeks ago.
The IDF has imposed a closure on the Gaza Strip for the duration of the
holiday. The Israeli border passes at Karni and Erez have closed down to
workers, but will enable the passage of merchandise. The Erez industrial
park will continue operating during the holiday. Authorities repeat that all
humanitarian aid will continue to flow into the West Bank and Gaza.

Thousands of policemen, border police, IDF troops and civil guard volunteers
will safeguard the borders, entertainment places and recreation sites over
the holiday. Security in synagogues, hotels and West Bank settlements will
also be beefed up with troops and technological auxiliaries.
Israeli police are beefing up security in shopping malls, market places and
other crowded places. Police also intend to set up more road barriers and
intensify its search for illegal Palestinian workers.

As Israel readies for this 2004 Passover, the news headlines are filled with
"Russia Condemns Israel's Threat Against Arafat" and "US Tells Israel Not to
Harm Arafat." The Passover Massacre did not take place in Washington or
Moscow.
Israel in it's war against terrorism, killed Hamas master terrorist Achmed
Yassin.

Yassin was responsible for the murders of 377 Israelis in at least 425
terrorist attacks over the past three-and-a-half years of the Palestinian
Authority's war against Israel. Among the most devastating attacks Hamas has
claimed responsibility for were the Park Hotel Passover Massacre in Netanya
on March 27, 2002; 29 killed, a suicide bombing of the number 2 bus coming
from Jerusalem's Western Wall on Aug. 19, 2003; 23 killed, including three
children and two babies; a suicide bombing at the Dolphinarium discotheque
in Tel Aviv on June 1, 2001; 22 killed, mostly teens; a suicide bombing of
Sbarro's in Jerusalem on Aug. 9, 2001; 15 killed, including five members of
the same family - three children and their parents; a suicide bombing of the
Matza restaurant in Haifa on March 31, 2002; 15 killed, including two
fathers each with his two children and the list goes on.

On Passover night we traditionally ask at the Passover dining table "why is this night different from any other night?"

We must now remember - it's not.
