But, I believe you are correct.<br /><br />No wonder why the press and officials are not allowed in.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-81669535938873952472014-07-16T22:23:46.396+03:002014-07-16T22:23:46.396+03:00I addressed the "getting there first" my...I addressed the "getting there first" myth <a href="http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/leave-international-law-to-the-internationals-ill-take-the-torah/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Interesting that it took 2008 to get you you to consider aliyah. Unfortunately (and fortunately), you're right, giving Jews the particular nudges they need, according to the countries and cultures in which they are located.<br /><br />I believe there may be some filtering out taking place, either now, or will be soon. IOW, those Labor and Yesh Atid voters who end up coming, probably will not last long as Yesh Atid and Labor voters, if the can see the writing on the wall. Perhaps, their eyes opening will allow them to see the Torah written on the wall, too.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-21696896769137269782014-07-16T18:39:51.949+03:002014-07-16T18:39:51.949+03:00Everything you and Devash wrote is so correct. One...Everything you and Devash wrote is so correct. One thing not mentioned, unless I missed it, is that these invaders are bringing diseases that the population and medical estab. is unprepared for. Among these invaders are terrorists, drug pushers, murderers and rapists. Already, these creatures are attempting to kidnap females for unmentionable acts. The US may soon have to deal with epidemics and deaths from So American diseases. Not to mention the rampant lice issue. Prayer rugs and other Muslim items have been found in places where they cross over and enter th US. There are air flights from many countries arriving in El Paso, only to begin their trek across the non-border.<br /><br />Press and Govt officials are not allowed to view what is taking place at he border. There is so much more.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-70400829250270664692014-07-16T17:39:20.182+03:002014-07-16T17:39:20.182+03:00It's an unpleasant situation, to be sure. Hisp...It's an unpleasant situation, to be sure. Hispanics and other immigrants have ruined the United States. <br /><br />As for the manifest destiny stuff, I never had too much of a moral problem with it. Let's be honest, a lot of the Indians who were displaced had themselves taken the lands that they were on from other Indians. Sadly, we live in an imperfect world that has a great deal of scarcity, and all peoples have historically suffered from land hunger which has led to wars, massacres and ethnic cleansing. I'm not sure that "being there first" is a rock solid claim to ownership of a land, or else that means the Canaanites were right to fight us.<br /><br />The United States is already past the point of no return. Maybe 25 years ago it's problems could have been addressed, but it's too late now.<br /><br />I do sometimes wonder if the collapse of the US is part of G-d's plan to force the last of our exiles to return. I will tell you this, the thought of aliyah never once crossed my mind before the 2008 economic crisis when I realized the US was doomed.<br /><br />Sometimes Jews need a little push to do the right thing. That said, not sure how I feel about bringing 3 million Labor and Yesh Atid voters to Israel. Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12195012284369813406noreply@blogger.com
