With Christians, There Is No Blessing! (Updated!)

מוצש"ק פר' וארא תשע"ג

A week ago I saw this sticker around the Shomron (Samaria)...

"With Christians, there is no blessing!"
There is a double meaning to this sticker.

ברכה (b'rakhah) does not just signify the word "blessing." it also signifies the town of Har B'rakhah, where countless Christian "volunteers" are headquartered depending on the season. 

In other words, as long as Christians are around, not only is there no blessing, but the town of Har B'rakhah will cease to exist shortly, spiritually, physically, or both, if hasn't lost its soul already.

That is what happens when you associate with 'ovdei 'avodah zarah (practitioners of forbidden worship), or in this case, invite them into your town, and intimately into your lives.

There was an attempt to build a new headquarters in K'far Tapu'ah.  Fortunately, that attempt was blocked by the town's rabbi, when it was brought to his attention.

Christian"volunteers," working under the banners of various programs have operated in Har Berakhah, Itamar, Qedumim, and in the P'sagoth Winery at Mikhmas Junction in Binyamin, not to mention the christian radio station in Sha'ar Binyamin Industrial Park. Threats have also been made to the residents of some hilltop communities, if they do not allow these Christians into their communities.

Their beliefs and practices pollute the very Holy Land of Israel.

And yet (and I'm embarrassed to say),...
דברים ט"ז,יט ...וְלֹא-תִקַּח שֹׁחַד--כִּי הַשֹּׁחַד יְעַוֵּר עֵינֵי חֲכָמִים, וִיסַלֵּף דִּבְרֵי צַדִּיקִם

Deuteronomy 16:19 ...neither shall you take a gift; for a gift blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous. 
 ...is what is occurring in the Shomron.

This verse is speaking about the wise and the righteous, so even more so regarding those who are neither wise, nor righteous.

*Please copy and paste, post, print, and distribute this sticker!

Update:
ב' לחודש האחד עשר תשע"ג

 The sticker has been going around for few  months.

"Christians in- Jews out"
 
Do you know about the fact that Rav  E. Melamed gave permission to Christians (members of Hayovel Ministry) to live in Har Bracha? 
 
It started in the "HaGiv'ah HaMa'aravit" neighborhood.  A letter of protest was sent out by the young families living there. It did not help them. One by one those young, Jewish families left the place, most of them out of Har Bracha area.
 
So ere you have the actual meaning of the sticker.
