YNET: גינויים לישראל בעולם הנוצרי: מנעה מהפטריארך הלטיני לבקר בכנסיית הקבר
הפטריארך של ירושלים והקוסטוס של המקומות הקדושים רצו לבקר בכנסייה כדי לחגוג את "יום ראשון של הדקלים", המציין את עלייתו האחרונה של ישו לעיר, אך לדברי הפטריארכיה הדבר נמנע מהם "לראשונה זה מאות שנים": "חוסר התחשבות ברגשות של מיליארדים". גם ר"מ איטליה גינתה, השגריר זומן לשיחה. המשטרה הגיבה אחרי שעות: "פעלנו לפי הנחיות פיקוד העורף כדי לשמור על חיי אדם"
סוכנויות הידיעות, איתמר אייכנר, לירן תמרי | 29.03.2026

...משרד החוץ קיבל בשעות האחרונות שורה של פניות משגרירויות זרות בעניין התקרית, בהן גם משגרירות ארה"ב. גינוי הגיע גם מראש ממשלת איטליה ג'ורג'ה מלוני, שכינתה את הצעד "פגיעה במאמינים*", וזמן קצר אחר כך זימנה איטליה את שגריר ישראל ברומא לשיחה בעקבות התקרית....

*כשהנוצרים מדברים על ״מאמינים״ הם מתיחסים אך ורק למאמינים בדתם, כלומר ביש״ו.

...בין המגנים את מעשי ישראל היום היה גם שר החוץ האיטלקי אנטוניו טאיאני, שביקש להביע הזדהות עם הפטריארך והקוסטוס: "לא מקובל שנמנע מהם להיכנס לכנסיית הקבר בירושלים. לראשונה, משטרת ישראל מנעה ממנהיגי הכנסייה הקתולית את האפשרות לחגוג את מיסת יום ראשון של הדקלים באחד המקומות הקדושים ביותר למיליוני מאמינים ברחבי העולם. הוריתי מיד לשגרירנו בישראל להביע את מחאת הממשלה בפני רשויות תל אביב ולאשר את עמדת איטליה בהגנה, בכל עת ובכל הנסיבות, על חופש הדת". שגריר גרמניה בישראל שטפן זייברט מסר כי "זה כואב לכל הנוצרים. הסולידריות שלנו עם הפטריארך והקוסטוס"....

אז הנה המילים שאף אחד לא רוצה לומר בקול רם: בישראל לא אמור להיות חופש הדת.

אַבֵּד תְּאַבְּדוּן אֶת-כָּל-הַמְּקֹמוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָבְדוּ-שָׁם הַגּוֹיִם, אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם יֹרְשִׁים אֹתָם--אֶת-אֱלֹהֵיהֶם: עַל-הֶהָרִים הָרָמִים וְעַל-הַגְּבָעוֹת, וְתַחַת כָּל-עֵץ רַעֲנָן. (דברים יב,ב)

*כל מי שטוען שמצווה זו מדברת אך ורק על שבעת עמי כנען, כלומר הכנעני, החתי, האמורי, החווי, הפרזי, היבוסי והגרגשי, מוזמן ללחוץ כאן ללמוד עוד עליה.

לא. אני לא מציע את הריסת כנסיות בישראל כיום. אני פשוט רושם דוגמה לחוסר הסובלנות של התורה כלפי דתות פרט לשמירת תורה ומצוות של היהדות בארץ ישראל, למרות האמונות הקסומות של יהודים הסובלים ממחלת תלות שותפית, שמתלהבים ומעריצים ו את האהבה ואישור הקיום שהם מקבלים מחבריהם הנוצרים לכאורה.

לאלו שאוהבים לצטט פסקי הלכה של המאירי ורבנו גרשון מחוץ להקשר, אני מזכיר לכם שכוונתם היא כלפי החיים והמסחר של היהודיים באירופה, כלומר, בגולה. בארץ ישראל המצב ואז יישום ההלכה שונה לגמרי.

בואו נשים את זה בצד בינתיים. ואם ברצונכם ללמוד על ההלכה בארץ ישראל אז ללחוץ כאן.

אפילו לרבנים רבים שמסכימים בסתר שהנצרות אינה כשרה, חסר האומץ להצהיר את הסיבה ההלכתית היחידה שמאפשרת לנוצרים להכנס לארץ ישראל ללא רסן: ש כיום אנו בזמן שיד הגויים תקיפה. ולכן אינם במצב שמאפשר לאכוף את כל המצוות התורה נגד לגבי עבודה זרה. (משנה תורה, הלכות עבודת זרה י, ט [ו]).

זה לא פוטר יהודים מלתמוך, ואף לעודד, נוצרים להתיישב בארץ ישראל, לבנות מזבחות ולעבוד אלוהות-שקר.

תפילה בשיתוף מותר לגויים, אתם טוענים? כל סוג של כפירה בתורה אינה מקובלת בארץ ישראל. וכשיגיע הזמן להציע להתיר לגויים להתגורר ארץ כגרי תושב, אז הם יצטרכו לקבל את האמת של כל התורה כולה.

ללחוץ כאן כדי להקשיב לנוצרי אחד, שמשפחתו נמצאת בארץ, מסביר כיצד הוא מתפלל ישירות למשיח השקר שלו.

אולי אנחנו צריכים לאסיר תודה על כך שמנעו את אירוע שנתי חשוב מאוד לגויים של העבודה הזרה וחילול השם... גם אם שלא התכוונו. אבל, רגע!

ישראל היום: אחרי הזעם בוותיקן: אושר מתווה תפילה חדש בכנסיית הקבר
הרשויות מנעו את כניסת הפטריארך הלטיני של ירושלים לכנסיית הקבר בעיר, על מנת לקיים בה את תפילת "מיסת יום ראשון של הדקלים" - ומחאה התעוררה על כך בכנסייה הקתולית • "מתוך כוונה לאפשר לכלל העדות הנוצריות את חופש הפולחן בכנסיית הקבר", מסרה המשטרה, "אושר מתווה תפילה מצומצם" לידור סולטן, 30.03.2026

רה״מ נתניהו אפילו ניסה להסביר להם על המצב באופן הגיוני.

נתניהו אמר שהמקומות הקדושים בירושלים תחת איומים לאחרונה, וציין כי "במכה אחת, רסיסי רקטות התרסקו מטרים מכנסיית הקבר". המשטרה גם ציינה את "המציאות הביטחונית המורכבת של מבצע ׳אריה שואג׳", והוסיפה כי "טילים ופסולת איראניים פגעו בתוך העיר העתיקה".

רשויות הכנסייה תיארו את ההחלטה הראשונית כ"תקדים חמור", ואמרו שזו "הפעם הראשונה מזה מאות שנים" שאנשי דת בכירים נמנעו מלקיים מיסת* יום ראשון של הדקלים באתר. בהצהרה מאוחרת יותר, אמר הפטריארכיה כי הנושא "טופל ונפתר" והביע "תודה כנה" לנשיא יצחק הרצוג על מעורבותו. (i24)

*מיסה היא טקס נוצרי.

הרצוג? אין כאן הפתעה. אומרים שאביו, הרב הראשי הראשון של ישראל, יצחק הלוי הרצוג, על כך אמר כי:

"אחת הסיבות לכך שהאו"ם נתן לנו רשות להקים את מדינת ישראל, היא שחובתנו לתת חופש לכל הדתות ולהגן על המקומות הקדושים של כל הדתות."

עם כל הכבוד לרב הראשי הראשון של ישראל, מאז מתי יש לגויים זכות להשתתף בדיוני הלכה?

אין הם.

האם השבע לנו האו"ם את ארץ ישראל, או השבע לנו הקב"ה את ארץ ישראל?

מעולם לא הבנתי מדוע יהודים מאחלים לגויים שמחה או ברכות בחגיהם בארץ ישראל. האם הם מבינים במה הם תומכים כשהם עושים זאת? האם הם באמת מאמינים שהדמות הספרותית של ישוע (ימח שמו וזכרו) קמה לתחייה לאחר מותו? האם הם באמת מאמינים שמוחמד קיבל את הקוראן כאלוהות? האם הם מבינים שאמונות באירועים כאלה כפירה בתורה?

אני לא בטוח שהם כן מבינים את זה.

היום העניין של "חופש ביטוי דתי לכולם" בישראל קל להבין. תמיכה בחופש כזה מסייעת להבטיח שהערב רב ועוזריו יוכלו לעשות כל מה שהם רוצים, ולהמשיך בדרך להשגת מטרותיהם: המאבק בתורה, והשמדת העם ישראל באמצעות התבוללות, נישואי תערובת והקרבת קורבנות מלחמה.

YNET: Christian outrage erupts after Israel blocks Latin patriarch from Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday
The Jerusalem patriarch and Holy Land custos were barred from the Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday — 'for the first time in centuries,' church leaders said, citing 'disregard for billions'; Italy condemned the move, and police said they acted to protect lives
News Agencies, Itamar Eichner, Liran Tamari | March 29, 2026

...The Foreign Ministry has received inquiries in recent hours from several foreign embassies about the incident, including the U.S. Embassy. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also condemned the move, calling it “an offense against the faithful.” Shortly afterward, Italy summoned Israel’s ambassador in Rome for talks over the incident...

...Among those condemning Israel’s actions was Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who expressed solidarity with the patriarch and the custos. “It is unacceptable that they were prevented from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. For the first time, Israeli police have denied Catholic Church leaders the possibility of celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at one of the holiest sites for millions of believers worldwide. I have immediately instructed our ambassador to Israel to convey the government’s protest to Israeli authorities and to reaffirm Italy’s position in defense, at all times and under all circumstances, of freedom of religion,” he said.

Germany’s ambassador to Israel, Steffen Seibert, said: “This is painful for all Christians. Our solidarity is with the patriarch and the custos....”

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
So, here is the quiet part, said aloud. Israel is not supposed to have freedom of religion.

You shall surely destroy all the places, wherein the nations that you are to dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every leafy tree. (Deut. 12:2)

*Anyone believing that this mitzvah (commandment) applies only to the Seven Nations, may click here for further research.

No, I am not suggesting the destruction of churches in Israel today. I am simply providing an example of the Torah's intolerance of other religions, within the Land of Israel, in spite of the magical belief system of co-dependent, Jews fan-boying and girling over the love and validation they get from their supposed Christian friends.

To those of you with jaws dropped, the rulings of the Meiri and Rabbenu Gershon, which you love to cite out of context, were directed toward Jewish life and commerce in Europe, ie. the exile. Within the Land of Israel is a completely different situation.

We will set that aside for a moment. However, if you want read more about the legal position of the Torah, you can do so by clicking here.

Even many rabbis who secretly agree that Christianity is not kosher, do not seem to have the courage to point out the only possible halakhic (Torah legal) reason for passively allowing Christians to flow unchecked into the Jewish homeland unchecked that we are currently in a situation of יד הגוים תקיפה (under the strong arm of non-Jews), and thus are not currently in any position to enforce the Torah's dictates against avodah zarah (foreign worship). (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Avodah Zarah 10:9 [6])

This does not excuse Jews from supporting, even encouraging, Christians to settle in the Land of Israel, build altars, and worship.

Praying through an intercessor is acceptable for non-Jews, you say? Any form of kefirah (denial of Torah) is unacceptable within the Land of Israel. And when the time comes to offer non-Jews the opportunity to reside here as gerei toshav (resident aliens), they will have to accept the truth of the entire Torah.

Click here to listen to one Christian, whose family is in Israel, describe how he prays directly to his false messiah.

I suppose we should be grateful that preventing major annual act of avodah zarah (foreign worship) and Hillul HaShem desecration of The Almighty's name... albeit unintentionally. But, wait!

i24NEWS: Israeli police, church reach deal on Easter ceremonies after Holy Sepulchre dispute
Netanyahu grants patriarch access as security restrictions remain amid Iran-linked threats to Jerusalem
March 30, 2026

Netanyahu even tried reasoning with them first.

Netanyahu said Jerusalem’s holy sites had been exposed to recent threats, noting that “in one strike, missile fragments crashed meters from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.” Police also cited the “complex security reality of Operation Roaring Lion,” adding that “Iranian missiles and debris have impacted within the Old City.”

Church authorities had described the initial decision as a “grave precedent,” saying it was “the first time in centuries” that senior clergy were prevented from holding Palm Sunday Mass at the site. In a later statement, the patriarchate said the issue had been “addressed and resolved” and expressed “sincere gratitude” to President Isaac Herzog for his involvement.

Herzog? No surprise there. His father, Israel's first Chief Rabbi, Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog is credited with stating that:

"One of the reasons the UN gave us permission to establish the state of Israel, was our duty to give freedom to all religions and to protect the holy sites of all religions."

With all due respect to Israel's first Chief Rabbi, since when are non-Jews involved in discussions of halakha (Torah Law)?

They are not.

Did the UN grant us the Land of Israel, or did The Holy One, Blessed Be He?

I have never understood why Jews wish non-Jews happiness or blessings on their holidays in Israel. Do they realize what it is they are supporting when they do so? Do they actually believe that the literary figure of Yesh"u (Yoshke), and that he was resurrected after death? Do they actually believe that Muhammed divinely received the Quran? Do they realize that beliefs in such events directly contradict the Torah?

I am not so sure that they do.

Now, "freedom of religious expression for all," now that's an easy one to understand. Propping up such freedom, helps to insure that the Erev Rav and its minions can to do whatever it wants, and proceed on the path of achieving its objectives: the battle against the Torah, and the destruction of the Jewish People through assimilation, intermarriage, and sacrifices to war.

מה שישראל יכולה ללמוד מהראיון של טאקר קרלסון עם נשיא רוסיה ולדמיר פוטין / What Israel Can Glean from Tucker Carlson's Interview with Russian President Putin

ג׳ לחודש השנים עשר א׳ תשפ״ד

English follows the Hebrew.

הנה ההקדמה של טאקר קרלסון לראיונו עם נשיא רוסיה ולדימיר פוטין. בזכות ההקדמה, אני החלטתי לצפות בחצי השעה הראשונה. אבל בסופו של דבר צפיתי בראיון כולו. זה ממש מרתק. הוא גם מעלה את השאלה למה הרבה אנשים בתקשורת הביעו התנגדות לכך.

להלן ראיון עם נשיא רוסיה ולדימיר פוטין שצולם ב-06.02.2024 בערך בשעה 19:00, בבניין מאחורינו, שהוא כמובן הקרמלין. הראיון, כפי שתראו אם תצפו בו, עוסק בעיקר במלחמה בעיצומה, המלחמה באוקראינה, איך היא התחילה, מה קורה, והכי דחוף, איך היא עשויה להסתיים. יש הערה אחת לפני שאתם צופים. בתחילת הראיון שאלנו את השאלה הכי ברורה, למה עשית את זה? הרגשת איום, איום פיזי קרוב, וזו ההצדקה שלך?

והתשובה שקיבלנו זעזעה אותנו. פוטין המשיך הרבה מאוד זמן, כנראה חצי שעה על ההיסטוריה של רוסיה חזרה למאה השמינית לספירתם. ולמען האמת חשבנו שזו שיטה מתוחכמת להשהיה וחשבנו שזו מעצבנת וקטענו אותו כמה פעמים. והוא הגיב שהוא עוצבן מההפרעה. אבל בסופו של דבר הגענו למסקנה למה שזו לא שיטה מתוחכמת להשהיה.

לא הייתה הגבלת זמן לראיון. סיימנו את זה אחרי יותר משעתיים. במקום זאת, מה שאתם עומדים לראות נראה לנו כנה. בין אם אתם מסכימים עם זה ובין אם לא, ולדימיר פוטין מאמין שלרוסיה יש תביעה היסטורית לחלקים ממערב אוקראינה. אז דעתנו תהיה לראות את זה באור הזה, כביטוי כנה למה שהוא חושב. ועם זה הנה זה.

הנה כמה חלקי הראיון הבולטים לי גם מה ששייכים לענייני ישראל לדעתי וגם שלא כל-כך.

19:32 לאחר מלחמת העולם השנייה אוקראינה קיבלה, בנוסף לאדמות שהיו שייכות לפולין לפני המלחמה, חלק מהאדמות שהיו שייכות קודם לכן להונגריה ורומניה. אז לקחו חלק מאדמותיהן של רומניה והונגריה ונמסרו לאוקראינה הסובייטית והן עדיין נשארות חלק מאוקראינה. אז במובן הזה יש לנו את כל הסיבות לאשר שאוקראינה היא מדינה מלאכותית שעוצבה לפי רצונו של סטלין

21:34 ...ואז נסעתי למערב אוקראינה. נסעתי לעיירה ברגוביה Берегове. וכל שמות העיירות והכפרים שם היו ברוסית ובשפה שלא הבנתי, בהונגרית, ברוסית ובהונגרית. לא באוקראינית אלא ברוסית ובהונגרית. נסעתי דרך איזשהו כפר והיו גברים שישבו ליד הבתים, והם לבשו חליפות שלושה חלקים שחורים וכובעי צילינדר שחורים. שאלתי האם הם סוג של בדרנים. אמרו לי לא, הם לא בדרנים. הם הונגרים. אמרתי מה הם עושים כאן? מה את מתכוון? זו הארץ שלהם. הם גרים כאן. זה היה בתקופה הסובייטית בשנות השמונים של המאה הקודמת. הם שימרו את השמות ההונגריים בשפה ההונגרית ואת כל התלבושות הלאומיות שלהם הם הונגרים והם מרגישים שהם הונגרים וכמובן כשעכשיו יש הפרה.

42:00 - 50:00 פוטין מדבר על שחיתות בבחירות באוקראינה, ועל מה שהוא מכנה ההפיכה של 2014.

53:31 פוטין: הם שהחלו את המלחמה ב-2014. המטרה שלנו היא לעצור את המלחמה הזו. ולא התחלנו את המלחמה הזו ב-2022. זה ניסיון לעצור אותה.
קרלסון: אתה חושב שהפסקת את זה עכשיו? כלומר האם השגת את המטרות שלך?
פוטין: אה לא, עדיין לא השגנו את המטרות שלנו כי אחת מהן היא הסרת אופי של נאציות. זה אומר לאסר על כל מיני תנועות נאציות מחודשת. זו אחת הבעיות שדנו בהן בתהליך המשא ומתן שהסתיים באיסטנבול בתחילת השנה.

56:53 כשפרצה מלחמת העולם השנייה, חלק מהעלית הלאומנית הזו שיתפה פעולה עם היטלר מתוך אמונה שהוא יביא להם חופש, החיילים הגרמנים אפילו חיילי ה-SS (פלוגות המגן הנאציות) גרמו למשתפי הפעולה של היטלר [ימח שמו וזכרו] לעשות את העבודה המלוכלכת ביותר של השמדת האוכלוסייה הפולנית והיהודית ומכאן האכזריות הזו. טבח באוכלוסיה הפולנית והיהודית וכן באוכלוסייה הרוסית.

1:01:57 ...עד כמה שזה נראה לך מוזר במהלך המשא ומתן באיסטנבול, הסכמנו, והכול בכתב, הנאציות המחודשת לא תיטפח באוקראינה, כולל שזו תהיה אסורת ברמת החקיקה. מר קרלסון, הסכמנו על זה. זה, מסתבר, ניתן לעשות במהלך תהליך המשא ומתן ואין שום דבר משפיל עבור אוקראינה כמדינה מודרנית מתורבתת. האם יש מדינה רשאית לקדם את הנאציות? לא. נכון?

1:36:53 אביו [של זלנסקי] נלחם נגד הנאצים הפשיסטים במהלך מלחמת העולם השנייה. פעם דיברתי איתו על זה. אני אמרתי וולודה, מה אתה עושה? למה אתה תומך בנאצים חדשים באוקראינה היום בזמן שאבא שלך נלחם בפאשיזם? הוא היה חייל בחזית. אני לא אגיד לך מה הוא ענה. זה נושא נפרד, ואני חושב שזה לא נכון מבחינתי לעשות זאת.

עשר אגורות (2¢):
למרות שקרלסון עיתונאי ולא שליח פוליטי, בראיון זה הוא מקדם את המשא ומתן בין ארה"ב לרוסיה תוך שעתיים יותר מנשיא ארה"ב ביידן וממשלו עשו בשלוש שנים.

אני לא מעריץ של פוטין. ובהחלט יש דברים שהוא מזכיר שאני לא מסכים איתם, כמו "רוסיה תמיד הייתה נאמנה מאוד לאנשים שייכים על דתות אחרות" (1:42:30), גם לא קדם-ברית המועצות, ובהחלט לא במשך שלטונה.

אני כן בעד גילוי מידע כדי שאפשר לבחון אותו. יש הרבה מידע מסופק בראיון. לכן אני רשמתי את רק מה שלדעתי קשור לעם ישראל ולארץ ישראל.

רומאים, טורקים עות'מאניים, בריטים, ערבים. לא משנה. כולם דוגמאות לחוויתנו של הישרדות כשאנו חיים תחת כיבוש בתוך מולדתם.

כנראה זו אחת הסיבות שמגנים את פוטין. הוא מעז להזכיר לנו על היסטוריה אמיתית. אין לאומנות אוקראינית כי אין מדינה אוקראינית אמיתית. בעיני הקהילה הבינלאומית כביכול, פוטין הוא מסוכן כי הוא קובע תקדים.

לכן מבחינת מזרח התיכון לא יכול להיות שום לאומנות פלסטינית אמיתית כי אין עם "פלסטיני" אמיתי, אלא רק קבוצות ערבים שהגיעו מחוץ לארץ ישראל, מסוריה, לבנון, צפון ערב הסעודית כיום ירדן וממצרים. קרא מימים ימימה מאת ג'ואן פיטרס לפרטים.

במקרה של אוקראינה לפחות יש היסטוריה ארוכה של מדינה מלאכותית. ואילו מעולם לא הייתה מדינה פלסטינית. השם פלסטיני הוא אפילו שם שהומצא על ידי הרומאים בימי כיבושם בארץ. למרבה הצער זה עידד את האגדה לפיו שהפלסטינים הם א׳ עם וב׳ ובשל הדמיון בין השמות הללו שהם צאצאי הפלשתים או אפילו צאצאי הכנענים למרות שהם בכלל לא עם אלא הם חלק של עם הערבי.

גם הדריאן וגם עראפט אמר מהשו כמו ״יש לי רעיון. למה לא למחוק את כל סימן היסטוריה של עם ישראל באמצעות שינוי שם ארץ ישראל לפליסטין.״

Here is Tucker Carlson's preface to his interview with the Russian president. Because of this, I decided to watch the first half-hour, but ended up watching the entire interview. It is fascinating, and certainly begs the question who so many had expressed resistance to it.

The following is an interview with the president of Russia Vladimir Putin shot February 6, 2024 at about 7:00 p.m. in the building behind us, which is of course the Kremlin. The interview, as you will see if you watch it, is primarily about the war in progress, the war in Ukraine, how it started, what's happening, and most pressingly, how it might end. One note. before you watch. At the beginning of the interview, we asked the most obvious question, which is why did you do this? Did you feel a threat, an imminent physical threat, and that's your justification?

And the answer we got shocked us. Putin went on for a very long time, probably half an hour about the history of Russia going back to the 8th century [CE]. And honestly we thought this was a filibustering technique and found it annoying and interrupted him several times and he responded he was annoyed by the interruption. But we concluded in the end, for what it's worth, that it was not a filibustering technique.

There was no time limit on the interview. We ended it after more than two hours. Instead, what you're about to see seemed to us sincere. Whether you agree with it or not, Vladimir Putin believes that Russia has a historic claim to parts of Western Ukraine. So our opinion would be to view it in that light, as a sincere expression of what he thinks. And with that here it is.

Here are a few parts of the interview that stand out to me, what I believe pertains to Israel.

19:32 After the World War II Ukraine received, in addition to the lands that had belonged to Poland before the war, part of the lands that had previously belonged to Hungary and Romania. So Romania and Hungary had some of their lands taken away and given to the Soviet Ukraine and they still remain part of Ukraine. So in this sense we have every reason to affirm that Ukraine is an artificial state that was shaped at Stalin's will...

21:34 ...and then went to Western Ukraine. I went to the town of Берегове. And all the names of towns and villages there were in Russian and in a language I did not understand, in Hungarian, in Russian and in Hungarian. Not in Ukrainian, in Russian and in Hungarian. I was driving through some kind of village and there were were men sitting next to the houses, and they were wearing black three-piece suits and black cylinder hats. I asked are they some kind of entertainers. I was told no, they were not entertainers. They're Hungarians. I said what are they doing here? What do you mean? This is their land. They live here. This was during the Soviet time in the 1980s they preserved the Hungarian language Hungarian names and all their National costumes they are hungarians and they feels to be Hungarians and of course when now there is an infringement.

42:00 - 50:00 Putin talks about corruption in Ukrainian elections, and what he calls the coup d'etat of 2014.

53:31 Putin: It was they who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022. This is an attempt to stop it.
Carlson: Do you think you've stopped it now? I mean have you achieved your aims?
Putin: Uh no we haven't achieved our aims yet because one of them is de-nazification. This means the prohibition of all kinds of Neo-Nazi movements. This is one of the problems that we discussed during the negotiation process which ended in Istanbul early this year.

56:53 When World War II broke out, part of this extremely nationalist Elite collaborated with Hitler believing that he would bring them freedom the German troops even the SS troops made Hitler's collaborators do the dirtiest work of exterminating the Polish and Jewish population hence this brutal. Massacre of the Polish and Jewish population as well as the Russian population.

1:01:57 ...as strange as it may seem to you during the negotiations in Istanbul we did agree that, we have it all in writing, Neo-Nazism would not be cultivated in Ukraine, including that it would be prohibited at the legislative level. Mr. Carlson, we agreed on that. This, it turns out, can be done during the negotiation process and there's nothing humiliating for Ukraine as a modern civilized state. Is any state allowed to promote Nazism? It is not, is it?

1:36:53 His [Zelensky's] father fought against the fascist Nazis during World War II. I once talked to him about this I said Voloda, what are you doing? Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine, today while your father fought against fascism? He was a frontline soldier. I will not tell you what he answered. This is a separate topic, and I think it's incorrect for me to do so.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
In this interview, Carlson does more for U. S. Russia negotiations in two hours, than U. S. President Biden and his administration has done in three years.

I am no fan of Putin. And there are definitely things he mentions with which I do not agree, such as "Russia has always been very loyal to those people who profess other religions" (1:42:30), neither pre-Soviet Union, and certainly not during.

However, I am a fan of allowing information to come forth, so that it can be scrutinized. There a lot of information provided here, too much even to include what I had wanted to include in the highlights. And so, I included only the minimum, as I believe it relates Israel and the Jewish People.

Romans, Ottoman Turks, British, Arabs. It doesn't matter. They are all examples of oppressors within our Jewish experience of survival, while living under occupation within our own homeland.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons Putin is demonized. He dares to remind us of the history which pushes back the pro-Ukrainian narrative. There is no Ukrainian nationalist, because there really is no Ukrainian state. 

In the eyes of the so-called international community, Putin is setting a dangerous precedent. There cannot be any, true Palestinian nationalist, as there is no true "Palestinian" people, only Arabs who gathered at the borders of the Land of Israel from Syria, Lebanon, North Arabia (now Jordan) and Egypt. (Read From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters for details.)

At least in the case of the Ukraine, there is a long history of an artificial state. Whereas, there has never been an Palestinian state. The name Palestinian is even a made up name by the Romans. Unfortunately and inconveniently, this has fueled the myth that Palestinians are descendants of the Philistines, due to the similarity of these names, or even descendants of the Canaanites. They are not.

Since When are Car Rammings and Stabbings Exclusively ISIS Style?

FoxNews.com: London Bridge attack: Former law enforcement officials react
Brooke Singman, June 03, 2017

The London Bridge incident is being investigated as terrorism, and former U.S. law enforcement officials are not surprised.

Just two weeks after the deadly attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, the United Kingdom is responding to as many as three different incidents, including a van crashing into a crowd at the London Bridge and a series of stabbings reported at nearby Borough Market.

“It appears to be ISIS related—this is the result of the West not recognizing that we are at war,” former member of the FBI National Joint Terrorism Task Force, Steve Rogers, told Fox News. “The United Kingdom Is learning that they must change their rules of engagement and their national policies regarding immigration.”

Former deputy secretary at the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush, James Norton, told Fox News that this attack, reportedly occurring in multiple locations throughout London, is similar to that of the Paris attacks in November 2015.

“This is another ISIS style attack that we have seen in France, using vehicles as a weapon, as well as knives and other day to day items as weapons of terror,” Norton told Fox News. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
My friend Destination Greenhill sent this link to me, and asked,...

"Why are they calling this an ISIS style attack?"

Excellent question.

The short answer I gave him was to choose from a list of possibilities....

A. They are idiots.

B. They ignore the news reports of car (and tractor) ramming and stabbing attacks on Jews in Israel by Arabs, both by those illegally occupying sections of the Jewish homeland, known as Yehduah and Shomron (Judea and Samaria), and those carrying Israeli citizenship.

C. They think that Arab attacks on Jews are not really attacks. After all, they are only Jews!

D. All of the above

Sure, the "they" making the ridiculous comment was only person. Nevertheless, the total neglect of identical attacks by calling them ISIS style is not not in the least bit surprising. I am positive that he is not the only one who has been processing world events in this manner.

Why not expect a German company to wipe Israel from the map, or at the very least, make a ridiculous "mistake" such as this?

עשו שונא ליעקב.

Esau hates Ya'aqov.

...the multifaceted Esau being the ancestor of the West, Christians and libertine progressives alike.

Whether desiring the domination of Israel, or its assimilation into a globalist society of Western progressives, potential Jewish sovereignty over the Land, stands in the way of its ultimate objective.

Meanwhile Palestinian Pseudostinian Arabs have publicly declared Tel-Aviv to be part of Palestine, as much as Jerusalem, Hevron, or Shchem (which they call Nablus). Just look at the maps, embedded in the emblems, below.

Fata"h Party Emblem

As a matter of fact, North Tel-Aviv, including Tel-Aviv University, was built on top of the conquered (I'm not afraid to say the word "conquered.") Arab village of Sheikh Munis. But, we're not allowed to talk about that.

However, when forced to talk about it...

"But, that was won in Israel's War of Independence?!" 

"The United Nations gave us permission!"

"And, we wanted the Arabs to stay!"

Typical co-dependent, pseudo-Zionist, Labor Zionist hasbarah response,...to pretty much everything.

If you bother to look, you will find videos of Arabs, so-called ISRAELI ARABS, teaching their children. Do you really think they don't include Tel-Aviv in this list? That they'll allow it to remain an isolated island of what's left of Israel? Seriously?

PA President Mahmud Abbas's Vision of Pseudostine

So, back to Germany, why would think that it's that big of a stretch from manifestations of B'nei Yisma'el's envy to Esau's envy?

Both are koferim, deniers of Torah truth (Mishneh Torah, Hil. Teshuvah 3:17 [8]). Our tradition suggests that both are going to fight for the Land they see as theirs, and Israel will get stuck in the middle. We have already seen hints and build-ups to this in various times in history: The Crusades, The Battle of Vienna (1683), The Gulf Wars.

The only difference is that Esau (The West) had been sneakier about it.

If you were surprised by this "mistake" on a package to Israel, which said "Palestinian Territory" instead, the you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Do Jews Really Want to Destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque?

YNET: Netanyahu mentions Mufti al-Husseini in speech
The Prime Minister spoke at an event marking the 100th birthday of late PM Yitzhak Shamir. He compared today's Palestinian terrorism to that of the 1920s, saying, "The Mufti claimed the Jews were going to destroy al-Aqsa."

Itamar Eichner: 02.29.16

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned the Mufti Amin al-Husseini Sunday night at a speech in Jerusalem, comparing Arab incitement of the 1920s to the incitement of the current terror wave.

During his speech at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center marking what would have been late former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's 100th birthday, Netanyahu said that the "terrorism in the '20s, when my grandfather came to Israel, was also fed by the claim of Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini that the Jews were going to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque and build the third temple in its stead. Sound familiar to you?"

Last October, Netanyahu instigated controversy when he said, in a speech at the World Zionist Congress, that the Mufti inspired the Nazi final solution during a meeting with Adolf Hitler. According to that speech, Hitler intended on expelling the Jews from Europe rather than exterminating them, but his mind was changed, at least in part, by al-Husseini. After his words were widely condemned, the PM recanted.

This time, Netanyahu said, "the incitement is ongoing, and terror waves come and go, and the attempts to explain it with the despair and frustration of Palestinians are incorrect. That statement absolves them of responsibility for their actions, for their terror that has been accompanying us for almost 100 years, before the establishment of the state and before there were territories and settlements, when there was a diplomatic process and when there wasn’t. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
The Prime Minister was wrong to recant his statement about the Mufti's incitement and role in the Holocaust.

Grand Mufti Al-Husseini with Hitler ysh"w
May their names and memories be blotted out!

He was also way off when he said that "their [Arab] terror that has been accompanying us for almost 100 years." Just read the Tana"kh (The Bible) and Jewish accounts of history following it, and you will see that ever since the birth of the Arabs' forefather Yishma'el, who is described as פרא אדם, a "wild man" (Gen. ), the People of Israel have suffered at their hands.

The Prime Minister was right about how "...the incitement is ongoing, and terror waves come and go...."

It is all part of the same cycle...

(Click on the image to enlarge it.)

...which is why it is so frustrating that the Prime Minister, just like all of his predecessors, refuses to do all that is necessary to achieve a permanent end to Arab terror from within Israel,...ALL of Israel.

Now regarding the Jews' desire to destroy the mosques, aren't religious Jews supposed to believe that the Beth HaMiqdash (the Temple) will be re-built? Don't we pray three times a day for the coming of the Mashi'ah, who will rebuild the Beth HaMiqdash, if we fail to do so before his arrival?

Well, the answer to this question can be found in a humorous story I once heard...

Rabbi Meir Kahane hy"d (left) was asked this very question regarding the mosques on Har HaBayith, and the rebuilding of the Beth HaMiqdash. Rabbi Kahane's response to this was not to bother to destroy the mosques, and just build the Beth HaMiqdash in between them. Why? Because if the mosques were destroyed (somehow), then the State would just end up building the Arabs bigger and better ones.

And there you have it, the perfect summary of both the State of Israel, and the state of Israel, more worried about how the non-Jewish, "international community" sees us, than how we see ourselves, let alone how The Almighty, sees us.

We are afraid, afraid of the State, afraid of the goyim. Even though we are only supposed to fear The Almighty,...The Holy One, Blessed Be He.

Israel is the Homeland of the Jewish People, not Europe

YNET: German Jews fear rising anti-Semitism during Mideast refugee influx
Jews fear attacks by refugees from countries hostile to Israel, adding another level of complexity to the enormous challenge facing German society. 

Reuters: 02.02.16 

When Judith G. helped out at a refugee center near Frankfurt last October and identified herself as Jewish, she was spat on and insulted. 

German Jews say the case of Judith G., a 33-year-old optician who asked not to be fully named, isn’t isolated and underlines concerns many have about the record arrivals of asylum seekers, largely from Muslim countries in the Middle East.

Official figures show German-born far-right supporters commit the vast majority of anti-Semitic crimes in the country, and Muslim leaders say nearly all asylum seekers – who can be targets of hate crime themselves – are trying to escape conflict, not stir it up.

Nevertheless, Jews across Germany are hiding their identity when volunteering at refugee shelters for fear of reprisals, adding another layer of complexity to a social, economic and logistical challenge that is stretching the fabric of German society. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Complexity? What complexity? "Complexity to the enormous challenge facing German society?"

Who cares? While Esau (Edom/Rome/The West) and Yishma'el (Arabs/Islam) battle it out, Jews have two choices, to remain on the battlefield as sitting ducks, or get out.

Jews like Judith G., who mean well, need to get a clue and get out of Germany. It's not your country, Judith, and those million "refugees" appear to be there to make sure that you, and all of the other Jews still in Germany, finally get the message.

Unfortunately, it may already be too late for Jews like Nina Peretz and the other “Friends of the Fraenkleufer Synagogue.”

Some Jewish groups, such as the Berlin-based “Friends of the Fraenkleufer Synagogue”, have taken the cultural exchange issue into their own hands with around 40 volunteers helping out at a local refugee center. 

“We want to send a message to all the Jews who sit at home and build big fences around their synagogues that it’s possible and necessary to approach one another, because if we don’t try, things can only turn for the worse,” said Nina Peretz, head of the initiative.

Their actions are reminiscent Jews in Israel who have reached out to Arabs, opened their towns to them, and have gotten wounded or killed as a result. Efrat, Otni'el, and Teqo'a, are only a few of the towns affected, not to mention Israel's capital of Jerusalem.

And, who can forget the three boys who were killed, after being tricked by an Arab who feigned car trouble?

Coexisting with goyim may be a necessity for survival, while residing in the golah (exile). But anyone who has ever visited a zoo should know that come feeding time, the zookeepers do not hand feed, and try to pet, the big cats, the alligators, or the poisonous snakes.  Instead, they know to keep their distance, and not bother with cultural sensitivity training. Although the president of the Central Council of Jews might think so...

“Among the refugees, there are a great many people who grew up with hostility toward Israel and conflate these prejudices with hatred toward Jews in general,” Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews, told Reuters in an interview conducted in October. 

When will we ever learn? When will we finally stop repeating the same mistakes, expecting different results?

Like I said, Jews in Europe have two choices, to get out now, or to wonder around in the plague of darkness (Ex. 10:21-23), which they do not even know that they are in.

According to a 2013 study by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, 64 percent of German Jews avoid the public display of symbols that would identify them as Jewish. It also found that only 28 percent of them report anti-Semitic incidents. 

Such incidents, as recorded by the Interior Ministry, dropped in 2015 but Jews still remember chants by young Muslims proclaiming “Jews to the gas” on German streets in protests against 2014's Operation Protective Edge.

Yet again in this report and others like it, aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel) is never mentioned as a solution. Israel's own attacks, by both Arabs and its own refugees infiltrators are often used as excuses for not making aliyah. But, what Jews in Europe, and North America, and elsewhere, need to realize is that Israel is our only true homeland. The other countries where we have lived are the lands of our exile, and exile is a punishment. Israel is the only land where we should be investing our money, our energies, our lives.

JPost: Europe Is Not Israel's Enemy
Greer Fay Cashman, 09/07/2015

Jean Asselborn

Luxembourg's FM Asselborn meets with Rivlin after meeting with Netanyahu.

“We in Europe are not enemies of Israel,” Luxembourg’s Foreign and European Affairs Minister Jean Asselborn told President Reuven Rivlin on Monday

Asselborn came to Israel on Sunday on a two-day working visit at the invitation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is also Foreign Minister.

Prior to his meeting with Rivlin, Asselborn met on Sunday with Netanyahu, opposition leader Isaac Herzog and deputy Knesset Speaker Ahmed Tibi. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn states that, "We in Europe are not enemies of Israel."

Why then did he meet with virulent Jew-hater, MK Ahmed Tibi?

Why then did he say that "Arabs must have the same level standard of living opportunities as the Israelis."

Is he talking about so-called Arab Israelis who are actually pining for their own Arab terrorist state? Or is he just suggesting that we have to increase our financial support for the Arabs, who would probably never be persuaded to accept "that Israel is a Jewish State and that the Jews have returned to their homeland."

The truth is that Europe is, and always has been, Israel's enemy.

Greece wanted to assimilate us.

Rome wanted to wipe out Torah observance all together.

The Roman Empire, 117 CE

Joint Christian forces of The Crusades, including England and France, wanted our Land, and murdered us on the way to get there.

Spain wanted convert us, kill us, or kick us out of their country. But, in 1992 Spain's King "apologized" for this, which apparently makes everything "OK." And now, Spain wants its Jews back, which is probably even worse for the Jews.

Where did all the Spanish Jews go?

Germany wanted to wipe out any trace of us.

The Nazi Empire

Now, the current manifestation of the Roman Empire, the European Union [EU], wants to take our Land, give it to Yishma'elim (Arabs/Muslims), who want to wipe us out, perhaps keep Jerusalem as an "international city," which is code for "keep it for themselves."

Both Europe's left wing "progressives" and conservative churches want our Land. Esau, Rome's forbearer, has multiple faces.

But the worst part about Europe's friendship, is the Ashkenazy (European) anti-Torah, secular elite, which it helped to create and continues to support. Ashkenazy, anti-Torah, secular elite is currently in control of Israel, furthering its endeavors to indoctrinate all of us into the globalist culture and government, and even sends the message to Jews from non-Western countries that they must assimilate, or never hope to get ahead in this country.

So, when the Foreign Minister of Luxembourg says that Europe is not Israel's enemy, I initially laughed.

Since Foreign Minister Asselborn is probably not that high on the Powers That Be totem pole, he probably really believes that assimilation into a globalist culture and government is good for everyone.

Unfortunately, there are Jews, and certainly Israreli politicians who believe this as well, which is not in the least bit funny.

European Jews, It's Time to Stop the Insanity!

The Jewish Press: Germany’s Central Council Of Jews Warns Against Wearing Yarmulkes
"It is a development that I did not expect five years ago and that's a bit shocking."

Ilan Shavit, JBN / Jewish Business News February 26th, 2015

Josef Schuster, a leader of the Central Council of Jews, told German radio that Jews need not hide in fear, since most Jewish institutions in Germany are protected, but in some places it’s better if they don’t recognize you as a Jew, Reuters reported.

To that end, Schuster recommended that Jews not wear skullcaps in parts of Germany with a large Muslim population.

Mind you, he did not indicate Jews should avoid only Muslim areas known for their extremism, but instead suggested that a Jew is in danger should he or she be recognized in any Muslim neighborhood.

That’s refreshingly honest.

“The question is whether, in areas with a large proportion of Muslims, it is sensible to be recognized as a Jew by wearing a kippa or if it isn’t better to wear some other form of head covering,” Schuster told rbb Inforadio.

“It is a development that I did not expect five years ago and that’s a bit shocking.” Schuster said.

Naturally, he blamed much of this new state of things on Israel, whose inability to live in peace with its Arab neighbors is very upsetting to European Muslims, who end up attacking Jews, seeing as there aren’t any Israelis handy nearby.

A late 2014 survey by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation noted blurring of the lines in Germany between antisemitism and hate for Israel, with 27 percent of those asked equating the Jewish state’s treatment of Palestinians to what the Nazis did to Jews in WW2.

In keeping with this policy of hiding from confrontation, Berlin’s Jewish community last week started mailing its monthly magazine Jüdisches Berlin wrapped in a plain paper envelope.

Reported antisemitic crimes in Germany grew by more than a third last year, to 1,076, according to the Amadeu Antonio Foundation citing unpublished government figures. These crimes included vandalizing Jewish cemeteries, painting swastikas on synagogues, and inciting antisemitic hate.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Didn't expect this?

Sensible?

C'mon! Are these people blind?

Even if Muslims were the only threat, living in Germany (and they most certainly are not the only threat), are those Jews, such as Josef Schuster suggesting that Jews wait around until the Muslim population of Germany reaches a critical mass? And then what?

Is Josef Schuster suggesting that Jews residing in Germany, and for that matter, any other European country, wait around until the beatings and murders begin, as they did in France and Belgium?

Jews stopped wearing kippoth (yamakules) in many areas of Paris ages ago? Did that help?

All of this does not matter anyway. Jews do not have any business living outside of Eretz Yisra'el (Land of Israel), now that its gates have been opened, and has successfully febuffed any attempts to close them.

Eretz Yisra'el is the only, true Homeland of the Jewish People.

Eretz Yisra'el is the only place on earth in which we should invest our time, money, and lives, our blood, sweat and tears, if you will.

It is high time for European Jewish "leaders" to stop playing games with Jewish lives.

It is well passed the time for them to stop the insanity!

Germany's Giant Menorah: Something to be Proud of?

ערב שבת קודש פר׳ ויגש תשע״ה

The Algemeiner: Europe’s Biggest Menorah Stands at Brandenburg Gate in Germany Where Nazi Rallies Took Place

Shiryn Ghermezian, December 23, 2014

Europe’s largest menorah is erected in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, a site once marked by hatred and racism where Nazi rallies took place.

“In the center of Germany, Europe’s largest menorah and one of the largest menorahs in the world stands tall at over 30 feet saying that light will always at the end prevail,” said Rabbi Yeuhuda Teichtal, head of the Chabad Lubavitch orthodox community in Berlin. “The message is today, with all the challenges we face, with all the anti-Semitic acts we unfortunately have to experience, nevertheless we are here and we will continue with acts of goodness and kindness.”

From @hasidic tweeter
"...in those days, at this time"

Thousands of Berliners gathered outside on Dec. 16 to watch Teichtal and German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere light the first Hanukkah candle on the menorah. Other dignitaries present at the ceremony included Mayor Michael Müller, Israeli Ambassador Yakov Hadas-Handelsman, and German parliament members Maria Böhmer and Petra Pau. Chabad has lit a menorah on same site for over a decade, Chabad.org reported.

Teichtal told NPR Berlin there is nothing more symbolic than lighting the candles in front of the Brandenburg Gate, which he described as “a center of darkness and of evil where Hitler stood.”

“Today, 5,000 people, coming with the Minister of the Interior of Germany and the Mayor of Berlin, said that light will win over darkness and democracy over tyranny,” he said after the lighting ceremony on Dec. 16. He told the crowd that gathered, “We’re here and we’re proud, living in a land of democracy and respect.”

Teichtal moved to Germany from the U.S. 18 years ago because the country needed new rabbis, according to NPR Berlin. He set up Germany’s first yeshiva, or Jewish school, since the Nazis shut them down in the 1940s. New rabbis are now graduating in Germany at a new rabbinical college in Potsdam.

Germany’s Jewish community is widely considered to be the fastest growing Jewish community in the world, NPR Berlin reported. A few thousand Jews survived in Germany after World War II but now more than 200,000 live in the country. The biggest local community is in Berlin and includes many Israelis who moved to Germany from Tel Aviv.

(Tip: Life In Israel)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Chabbad Rabbi Teichtel says that "...light will always at the end prevail." Yet, the light includes that the homeland of the Jewish People is in Israel, and not in Europe. Ironically, it was another Rabbi Teichtel, Rabbi Yisachar Shlomo Teichtel hy"d, who over 70 years ago, saw the writing on the wall, warned Jews to get out of Europe and encouraged them to make their way to Israel, defying his own community's anti-Zionist sentiment.

So, is having Europe's largest Hanukkiyah (Hanukkah menorah) publicly displayed in Germany something to be proud of?

Perhaps Rabbi Teichtel will do some good by waking up these wandering Jews up to their heritage, which is Torah. Nevertheless, our Jewish hearts and minds should always be focused on the Land of Israel. The investment of our Jewish time, energy, and sentiment should not be on the lands of our exile.

"Germany’s Jewish community is widely considered to be the fastest growing Jewish community in the world...The biggest local community is in Berlin and includes many Israelis who moved to Germany from Tel Aviv."

Contrary to the galuth (exilic) mentality, these statistics are not anything to be proud of. Israelis leaving Israel and moving back into galuth is not something to be proud of. It does not matter whether the Germans are trying to kill us, or trying desperately to be our friends, Jews do not have any business being in Germany.

The Globe And Mail, Canada

Furthermore, how it seems that Chabbad neglected to mention the close proximity of the Hanukkiyah to an X-mas tree? The candles were lit in view of avodah zarah (foreign/forbidden worship).

Saving for the neo-Nazis and Muslim immigrants, Germans currently may not want to slaughter us. But, hints of unification of religions are not any better for us either.

England, France, and Sweden may be falling fast, while Germany stands strong as one of Israel's "friends." But, do not think that Jews residing in Germany are immune to the dangers of galuth, both physical and spiritual.

Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire: Israeli Emigration to Germany

ד׳ לחודש השמיני תשע״ה

On one hand, the left-wing, [Am] Ha'Aretz, Israeli news, source did not do a bad job addressing the issue of Israeli emigration. On the other hand, it could have gone after the "Berlin Aliyah" initiative on Facebook, and ripped it apart, while still remaining objective.

Am Ha'Aretz (Riff-Raff)

However, we cannot expect these journalists to be too openly critical of their allies in the battle against the Torah, including the elimination of the last remaining fibers of Jewish nature associated with the State of Israel, and in the battle for assimilation of the Jewish People into the global community of nations.

My Esser Agaroth (2¢) commentary is interspersed below, followed by my conclusion.

Ha'Aretz: Israeli emigration slowing down, despite fears of ‘Berlin aliyah’
Despite 'Milky scare,' only a few thousand Israelis living in Berlin.

Lior Dattel, October 14, 2014

Despite concerns over a wave of emigration from Israel, which was brought on by recent public debate over a Facebook page urging young Israelis to move to Berlin, figures show that the rate of emigration has slowed dramatically, and that in 2012 the rate was the lowest since the state was established.

Emigration is also low in comparison to member countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

According to the World Bank, most Israelis emigrate to the United States or Canada. Germany, while a popular choice, is a destination that attracts far fewer Israelis than does North America...

There is little comfort in the fact that delusions of a glitzy life in Los Angeles or a financial paradise in New York is more attractive to Israelis, than a return to the origin of gas chambers and cremation ovens.

...In 2012, a year after the wave of social protest broke out, the overall number of Israeli emigrants (defined as people who leave the country and remain abroad for more than a year) declined to approximately 15,900. According to border control figures from April 2014, approximately one quarter of the people who emigrated in 2012 returned or informed the authorities of an intended return date.

Figures also show that most emigrants are not Israeli-born; the majority came to live in Israel from the former Soviet Union in the 1990s. Only 5,700 Israeli emigrants who left in 2012 are Jews born in Israel.

Perhaps their ties to Eretz Yisra'el (Land of Israel) were tenuous in the first place. Perhaps, like many Jews from American I know, they confused the flaws in how the State functions with the importance of residing in Eretz Yisra'el. Plus, I wonder just how many of these immigrants from the former Soviet Union were actually Jewish. Those who aren't, good riddance. those who are, then it is a shame, and a reflection of both the poor education received while here, as well as the strength of the galuth influence with the former Soviet Union.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics: “The current decline in the balance of emigration constitutes, among other things, a response to the economic slowdown in various countries that in the past were desirable destinations for emigrants.”

Della Pergola concurs. The economic situation in Israel has a major effect, he says – the higher the employment rate, the lower the emigration rate. “The next influential figure is the income level. Despite the gap in incomes in Israel, all in all, income has gone up,” he says. 

We Jews still do not get it. Many of us still think that it is all about the money. Well, it seems to me that we will soon have to learn the hard way (but hopefully not too hard), that it is not all about the money, but that money may be used as the tool to provide us with this crucial life lesson. The idea of a bag of rice being worth more than any artificial currency, or soap being a luxury item, may seem very foreign and farfecthed. Let us hope that are conditions never get to this point. In the meantime, I would suggest that we take a hard look at what is really important: A roof over our heads, a reasonably priced, Jewish education, and the opportunity to build a life, and raise our families in Eretz Yisra'el.

Nevertheless, although emigration figures are down, the profile of the émigré is still a source of concern: It is estimated that most Israelis who move abroad are young university graduates, whose skills make it possible for them to make a good living there. However, such a brain drain exists in many places around the globe, including Europe.

I would be very interested to learn if there is a pattern related to fields of study. Who has been emigrating? Those who studies the humanities and social sciences, in university or those who studied hard sciences. Israeli universities have become bastions of anti-Torah indoctrination. Do not be fooled by the graduates and professors wearing kippoth and other forms of religious expression.

In other words, a battalion of ultra-leftist, social workers, the State's front line soldiers in the culture war, would surely NOT be missed. I am not so sure that we will have to worry about any "brain drain." Do our brains really need anymore individuals cramming them with anti-Torah, "globalist" values and sensibilities, not to mention Hebrew University's "biblical criticism?" I think not.

Regarding beneficial brain content, so far, Israel has had enough sense to focus on high tech, keeping the hope of employment alive for those who studied physical sciences during their university tenure.

Did you notice how absolutely no mention was made regarding whether any Torah scholars were included in any of the emigration statistics? What would the Am Ha'Aretz news service care? For that matter, what would the State of Israel care?

The figures even count as emigrants Israelis who have relocated abroad for a specific period for work or study, with no intention of emigrating.

(Tip: JewsNews)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
I was pleasantly surprised that the far-left, anti-Torah, [Am] Ha'Aretz news site bothered to research and point out the inaccuracies of the reported statistics.

The Facebook page עולים לברלין "Immigrating to Berlin," encouraging emigration from Israel to Germany, specifically to Berlin, Only the [Am] Ha'Aretz Newspaper could possibly have the audacity to apply the term aliyah, "going up spiritually," to emigration from Israel to Germany.

עולים לברלין. כל העצות, ההסברים, הבירוקרטיה והטפסים שיעזרו לכם להחלץ מיוקר המחיה הבלתי אפשרי והאלים בישראל. olimleberlin@gmail.com

Immigrating to Berlin. All of the advice, explanations, bureaucracy, and forms which will help you to get out of the impossible cost of living and the"violence" in Israel. olimleberlin@gmail.com

The founders of this Facebook initiative are not entirely to blame.

The key factor behind possible emigration from Israel is the employment rate, according to the professor, who adds "the next influential figure is the income level. Despite the gap in incomes in Israel, all in all, income has gone up." 

Many have argued that the housing crisis in Israel that is cited in the recent Berlin protest as a reason to leave could be solved if Israel would only develop in Judea and Samaria, an area currently suffering from a silent Jewish construction freeze by the government despite being 90% unpopulated, and despite the full legality of Israel's presence in the region under international law. (Arutz 7)

I will hazard a guess that those leaving Israel for their convoluted "promised land" in Germany could not care less about developing Judea and Samaria. However, this does put some of the onus on the Israeli government.

Jews should never want to leave Eretz Yisra'el, and need not be concerned with "international law," when it comes to what The Almighty has already decided. However, the government could kill a few birds with one stone, if it would only annex Judea and Samaria, and develop its housing and economic potentials.

Even Jews supposedly flocking to Berlin would have second thoughts, and would be given an additional opportunity not only to remain in Eretz Yisra'el, but to be inspired by Israel's example, and witness first-hand what can come out of following what The Almighty wants for us, over what we believe we want for ourselves.

I can guarantee you that The Almighty does not want us to return to previous paths of self-destruction, which were possible, at least in part, by our desire to assimilate within the lands of our exile.

Jews Back To Germany

YNET: Tragic past, rebirth in Berlin's Jewish community
Upsurge in Jewish population in German capital has spurred tourism to an array of monuments, synagogues, museums related to Jewish history.

Associated Press, April 8, 2014

Rykestraße Synagogue
East Berlin, Renovated, 2007

The epicenter of the Holocaust, the city where Hitler signed the death warrants of 6 million Jews, seems an unlikely candidate for the world's fastest growing Jewish community.

But despite this stigma of Nazism, Berlin's dynamic, prosperous present and its rich, pre-World War II Jewish past initially attracted an influx of Jews from the former Soviet Union. The community has kept growing with the arrival of thousands of Israelis and smaller numbers of often young immigrants from Australia, France, the United States and elsewhere.

And this upsurge in the Jewish population - believed to be more than 40,000 - has also spurred tourism to an array of monuments, synagogues, museums and workaday places related to Jewish history and present life in Germany's capital.

In fact you can literally trip over this history while walking the streets and looking down on some of the 2,800 shiny brass tiles embedded in sidewalks by artist Gunter Demnig. These palm-sized "Stolpersteine," or stumbling stones, bear the names of those murdered by the Nazis, and are placed in front of their onetime homes.

Like these stones, Berlin's most prominent Jewish sites are connected to the tragic past, but a healthy antidote and probably the best way to begin a tour is a visit to the Jewish Museum, a multi-layered panorama of 1,000 years of Jewish culture, lore and history in Germany. And it's housed in one of the city's most striking contemporary buildings, a jagged structure coated with silvery zinc plates and punctured by slanted windows slits. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu
"A picture is worth a thousand words."

Now, the above piece does not exactly suggest that we forget the Holocaust, nor Germany's part in it. However, it most certainly seems to praise the rebirth and growth of the Jewish Community in Germany.

For a Jew to go back to Germany, and re-settle it is like going back to visit Egypt during Passover, even more so for a Jew who has already been residing in his only true Homeland of Israel.

Originating from the Associated Press, and scooped up by Erev Rav controlled YNET, both parties want to see the de-Judaizing and eventual de-Jewification of Eretz Yisra'el (Land of Israel). So, this piece, and its praise, really do not surprise.

Various goyshe countries and groups desire Eretz Yisra'el for their own, while the Erev Rav continues its battle against the Torah, doing everything in its power to prevent the arrival of Ge'ulah (Redemption).

True, the Erev Rav will eventually fail. However, we simply cannot wait around for the the final results, without doing anything at all. Those of us who can learn Torah, must learn. The rest of us should learn what we can, but also take additional actions. And, of course, we should all pray.

Otherwise, the process leading up to Ge'ulah will be much more painful than it has to be.

Germany, The Vatican, and Cocaine-Filled Condoms

Yahoo! News: Germany seizes cocaine-filled condoms sent to Vatican
March 23, 2014

Berlin (AFP) - German customs officials have intercepted a package addressed to the Vatican containing 14 condoms filled with cocaine, the finance ministry said Sunday.

A ministry spokesman told AFP that a box packed with 340 grammes of cocaine valued at 40,000 euros ($55,200) was seized at the international airport in the eastern city of Leipzig in January.

The narcotics, posted from an unnamed South American country, were in liquid form and had been poured into the condoms and placed in the package addressed to the main postal centre at the Vatican.

"I can confirm the incident as reported" in the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, the spokesman said.

"But we cannot say anything more about the case," he added, saying it was now in the hands of local prosecutors.

Authorities handed the parcel to a police officer at the Vatican with the aim of laying a trap for a culprit who might try to claim it.

But the box had remained there since January.

German investigators believe the intended recipient, who remains unknown, was likely tipped off that the package had been intercepted.

The Vatican office of Interpol is now working on the investigation with the Leizpig prosecutor's office, which could not immediately be reached for comment.

So, was the cocaine there, just to throw law enforcement authorities off the trail of the real crimes taking place?

From South Park Se10 Ep11 "Hell On Earth 2006"

True, 14 condoms doesn't seem like that many. Perhaps the environmentally conscious Vatican makes sure that they are washed and reused several times....

OK. This even grossing me out. Satire does have its limits. You know?

So, someone is doing, distributing, and/or dealing cocaine from The Vatican. Surprise, surprise....

Still, I wonder. Who was that stupid to have shipped? Why wasn't this shipment caught by drug sniffing dogs somewhere along the way, between South America and Germany. Did the bribes peter out along the way? Did the point person in Leipzig mess things up for everyone involved?

Inquiring minds want to know.

YNET: Merkel receives ADL human rights prize
Jewish group presents German chancellor with its distinguished Joseph Prize in recognition of her 'abiding commitment' to protecting human rights of Jews, defending Jewish religious freedom.

March 23, 2014

VIDEO – The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has presented German Chancellor Angela Merkel with its distinguished ADL Joseph Prize for Human Rights in recognition of her "abiding commitment to promoting and protecting human rights at home and abroad."

In presenting the prize, ADL cited a number of accomplishments and actions that it said showed Chancellor Merkel’s unwavering commitment to human rights.

"They include Merkel’s efforts to protect the human rights of Jews through her commitment to the security of the State of Israel; raising her voice against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his arbitrary exercise of power; her defense of Jewish religious freedom in Germany, including the protection of the right to male circumcision; and her courageous public criticism of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s actions against protestors last year, in which she stated that 'our European values – the freedom to demonstrate, the freedom of speech, the rule of law, the freedom of religion – they apply always. They are non-negotiable for us.'"

The prize was presented at the German Chancellery in Berlin by members of a leadership delegation currently traveling in Germany, headed by ADL National Chair Barry Curtiss-Lusher and ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman.

"As the head of government, the pursuit of human rights is not your only responsibility,” Foxman said in his remarks to Chancellor Merkel.

"Internationally, we have seen you, time and again, speak frankly to other leaders on human rights issues. On your first visit to Moscow as chancellor, you made a point of inviting human rights campaigners to a reception at the German embassy. And since then you have raised your voice publicly when meeting with Vladimir Putin on behalf of those targeted by his arbitrary exercise of power.

"It is clear to all," Foxman added, "that your actions are based on deep personal convictions. We are fortunate that someone with such convictions leads one of the most important countries in the world, and that you have made clear to other leaders that their records on human rights play a weighty role in determining Germany’s relations with their nations."

Esser Agaroth (2¢):

I have absolutely no idea why Putin is mentioned in the citation, just more proof perhaps that the ADL, which claims to be a Jewish organization, isn't.

I wonder if this wasn't perhaps some kind of lame, consolation prize for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent, accidental shadow puppetry (below).

We have rabbis in the Crimea and other parts of the the Ukraine declaring the "everything's fine. don't worry about us." We have and yet the non-profit, a-political ADL doesn't happen to like what Putin is doing, and so it says so.

Chancellor Angela Merkel and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
...playing shadow puppets.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Merkel and the rest of her European Union continue to support a so-called two-state solution," in other words the establishment of yet another Arab state which desires the annihilation of Israel.

How does this support the Jewish "human" right of self-determination? How does this guarantee Israeli's security, by trusting Yishma'el (the Arabs),...this time?

So, how different is slaughtering an entire people yourself versus having some "Palestinian" lackeys do it for you?

Food for thought...

It seems to me the Vladamir Putin appears to be doing more to support the rights of his own people, those of his own people/nationality, than the Israeli government does for its own.

The delegation also presented Chancellor Merkel with a framed paper-cut that repeats, in several languages, the Hebrew phrase "V'ahavta L'reakha Kamokha," which translates "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself," which is one of the most sacred admonitions of the Torah.

...not to mention one of the most misunderstood verses in the entire Tana"kh (Bible).

I'm get soaked by all of the ADL's, and in particular Foxman's, slobbering all over the German Chancellor, including some serious kishen tuches.

May Chancellor Merkel never recover to a state of complete dryness.
