YNET: דאעש לקח אחריות לפיגוע באיראן. דיווח: המנהיגים בטהרן סיכמו להאשים את ישראל
"ניו יורק טיימס" דיווח כי אחרי הפיצוצים שבהם נהרגו אתמול 84 בני אדם ויותר מ-200 נפצעו ליד טקס הזיכרון לסולימאני, מיהרו בכירי המשטר להחליט להטיל על ישראל את האחריות. אמש הבהירה ארה"ב: "אין לנו קשר לפיצוצים, ואין סיבה להעריך שישראל קשורה". הערב אמרו בדאעש: אנחנו האחראים
ליאור בן ארי | 04.01.24

העיתון "ניו יורק טיימס" מדווח הבוקר (יום ה') כי מנהיגי איראן ובכירי מערכת הביטחון שלה קיבלו אתמול החלטה להטיל על ישראל את האחריות למתקפה שבה נרצחו לפחות 84 בני אדם ו-284 נפצעו ליד בית הקברות בכרמאן, בשעה שבמקום נערך טקס זיכרון למפקד כוח קודס האיראני קאסם סולימאני, במלאות ארבע שנים לחיסולו. כחצי יממה אחרי אותו דיווח, דאעש קיבל אחריות לפיגוע...

...לפי העיתון, שני מקורות המקורבים למשמרות המהפכה ובקיאים בדיונים הפנימיים שמנהלים מקבלי ההחלטות באיראן אמרו לכתביו כי בכירי המשטר מיהרו להחליט להטיל על ישראל את האחריות לפיצוצים, וסיכמו שגם אם ארגון טרור או ארגון אופוזיציה כלשהו ייטלו אחריות למעשה – איראן תתעקש שידה של ישראל במעל...

...העובדה שהפיצוצים אירעו בשעה שחמאס, חיזבאללה, החות'ים והמיליציות הפרו-איראניות בעיראק – כולם בעלי בריתו של המשטר בטהרן – נלחמים נגד ישראל, עוררה באופן טבעי את ההערכות שטהרן תפנה אליה אצבע מאשימה, אך למשטר האייתוללות יש יריבים רבים אחרים מלבד ישראל, בהם מחתרות ערביות, בלוצ'יות וכורדיות, ארגוני גולים אשר פועלים נגד המשטר האיסלאמיסטי וכן תאי טרור של דאעש. בדיווחים בעולם הדגישו אתמול כי אף שישראל תקפה בעבר פעמים רבות באיראן, היא הקפידה תמיד לבצע תקיפות ממוקדות, וכי מתקפה כמו זו שאירעה היום אינה תואמת את דפוס הפעולה שלה.

עשר אגורות (2¢):
איראן מנצלת כל את ההזדמנות להאשים את ישראל בכל פעם שאפשר. ממשלתה אפילו רודפת אחרי אזרחיה המביעים את ספקותיהם פומבית לגבי אשמתה של ישראל. הכתבה לעיל מציינת שישראל נוהגת לתקוף ממוקדות, ולכן לא הגיוני שהתקפת הנפגעים ההמונית בקרמאן בוצעה על ידי ישראל.

מצד שני, גם לא ברור עם דאעש ביצעה את זה. במקרה זה מדובר על אנשי דאעש שבאזור ח'וראסאן.

וגם אפשר שאירנים המתנגדים לממשלת משטר האיסלאמי ביצעו את המתקפה בקרמאן, אן עם סיוע מארה״ב או בלי.

זו בהחלט לא הפעם הראשונה שערבים, או מוסלמים בכלל, נראים שהם מצילים אותנו היהודים מעצמנו.

בשנת תשנ״ט/2000 דחה יאסר ערפאת המחבל, יימח שמו וזכרו, דחה את הצעתו של ראש ממשלת ישראל דאז אהוד ברק להעביר 93% מיהודה, שומרון ועזה לידי הערבים המזדהים כפלסטינים. סיבות דחיית ההצעה נבעה כביכול מחוסר הסכמה על ירושלים, הר הבית וזכות השיבה הערבים למאחזיהם בארץ ישראל, בין היתר.

אז מי תקף את איראן?

האמת היא שלפעמים הקדוש ברוך הוא משתמש בגוים ככליו כדי לקדם את מטרותו עבורנו. הדוגמה המובהקת היא זו של הקשחת ליבו של פרעה, בפרשות התורה של העונה הזו (שמות ז,א - טו,כא). באמצעות הדוגמה הזו, קל מאוד להבין את ההקשר של העקשנות של ערפאת, הסכסוכים הערביים הפנימיים, כגון חמאס מול פת״ח, והסכסוך המתמשך בין מוסלמים סונים ושיעים כגון ערב הסעודית, או במקרה הזה דאעש, מול איראן. מקרים כאלה נותנים לנו עוד הזדמנות לתקן את מצבנו, כלומר לחזור בתשובה.

לצערנו, אנו עוד לא מקבלים ומבינים את זה.

הקב"ה משתמש גם ביהודים שאינם שומרי תורה ומצוות ככליו. אבל פחות תקינות פוליטית לדבר על שימושו ביהודים כאלה מלדבר על שימושו בגוים.

בינתיים, יש כאלה שמפחדים בגלל ראש הגלות שלהם. הם עדיין מודאגים יותר מדי על המידה "מה יחשבו הגויים עלינו?" וגם יש ערב רב המודאג מאיך האירוע הזה יכול להפריע לתוכניות שלהם לקדם את התבוללות העם ישראל בחברה הלא יהודית והגלובליסטית.

היהודים הללו אחראים חלקית להטעות אותנו ולהרחיק אותנו ממה שצריך להיות ברור מאליו.

יש להקב״ה תכנית עבורנו, המסגרת שלה כבר מחושפת לנו באמצעות תורתו הקדושה. ועלינו ללמוד את זה ולשים לב מה שקורה בסביבה שלנו.

Iran International: Iran Terror Attack Must Be Avenged With Missiles, Ex-Lawmaker Demands
Iran International Newsroom, 01/07/2024

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the twin bombings in Kerman, but Iranian politicians and officials continue their allegations about Israel’s involvement.

Ahmad Bakhshayesh, a former member of the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee told Rouydad 24 news website Saturday that “seven or eight missiles must be fired” towards Syria or Iraq, if terrorists came from there, or “Iran should at least ask its allies and proxies to make a proper response [to whoever perpetrated the attack]”.

“Israel was the main instigator, the hypocrites [Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization] provided the means, and the fanatical ISIS who think they will go to heaven if they kill seven Shias were the executive agents [of the attack],” he said.

Also commenting on Iran's role in the war between Hamas and Israel, Bakhshayesh said the war is “Iran's war” but by providing technology and missiles to Hamas, the Lebanese Hezbollah, and Ansarullah of Yemen, they are indirectly fighting the war.

In a statement posted on its affiliate Telegram channels on Thursday, a branch of the Islamic State (ISIS or Daesh) in Afghanistan claimed responsibility for the explosions. The statement said two suicide bombers had detonated their explosive belts in the middle of the crowd, “resulting in the death and injury of more than 300 polytheists [Shiites]”.

US sources familiar with the intelligence told Reuters that communications intercepts indicate that Islamic State’s Afghanistan-based branch, known as Daesh of Khorasan, was responsible for the Kerman attack that killed around ninety and wounded over 200 people.

Iran's intelligence ministry says it has arrested eleven individuals who were involved in the logistics of the attack and identified one of the two suicide bombers as a Tajik national.

Former government spokesman and reformist politician Ali Rabiei has also commented that Israel’s Mossad may have infiltrated the group, and encouraged it to conduct an attack in Iran to draw Iran into the regional conflicts and the Gaza war.

Some military experts have also said it is possible that ISIS opportunistically took responsibility for an attack that others did not claim.

“There is high chance that ISIS's claim about being involved in the attack is false,” Babak Taghvaee, a defense expert, told Iran International Friday...

...The Kerman bombing is the first attack in Iran that the Daesh of Khorasan has taken responsibility for.

Iranian authorities have also taken legal action against those who have ruled out Israel’s responsibility for the attack, including prominent political commentator Sadegh Zibakalam who has been indicted by Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor.

In an interview with the Voice of America’s Persian television Zibakalam had said that Israel could not be held responsible for the Kerman bombings because it “does not attack innocent people”.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
According to the above report, Iran tends to blame Israel whenever it has the opportunity to do so, even going after Iranians who are public with their doubts about Israel's guilt. The report above in Hebrew suggests that Israel has a pattern of implementing targeted attacks, thus the mass casualty attack in Kerman does not fit Israel's usual mode of operation.

On the other hand, the involvement of the Islamic State [ISIS], in this case, the branch in the Khorāsān region, is still up for debate.

Another possibility behind the attack in Kerman could be Iranians opposed to the Islamic regime, with or without assistance from the United States.

It certainly would not be the first time that Arabs, or Muslims in general, have appeared to save us Jews from ourselves.

In 2000, Arab terrorist Yasser Arafat, may his name and memory be blotted out, rejected then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's proposal to turn over 93 percent of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza to the Palestinians Pseudostinians. His reason for rejecting the proposal was supposedly due to disagreement over the status of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and Pseudostinian right of return, among other things.

So, who attacked Iran?

The truth is that the Holy One, Blessed Be He, will sometimes use non-Jews as His tools to implement His plan for us. The quintessential example is that of His hardening of Pharaoh's heart, during our Torah portions, at this time of year (Ex. 7:1 - 15:21). With this in mind, it easy to wrap our heads around how Arafat's stubbornness and internal Arab conflicts, such as Hamas vs. Fatah, and the ongoing conflict between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims, eg. Saudi Arabia, or in this case ISIS, vs. Iran, has helped us, giving us yet another chance to get our acts together.

Unfortunately, we still do not seem to get it.

The Almighty also uses non-observant Jews as his tools. But this is even less politically-correct to talk about than His use of non-Jews.

Meanwhile, there are those cowering in fear with the same ol' exile mentality of being overly concerned over "What will the goyim think?" Then there is the Erev Rav concerned over how this could interfere with their plans to advance the assimilation of the Jewish people into non-Jewish, globalist society.

These Jews are partly responsible for misleading us, guiding us away from what should be obvious.

God has a plan for us, its framework has already been revealed to us through His Holy Torah. And it is incumbent upon us to learn it and to pay attention to what goes on around us.

Esser Agaroth Year in Review תשע"ה/5775

ג׳ לחודש השביעי תשע״ו

After a long hiatus, I have brought back my annual Top Ten Words and Phrases post, renaming it to the more precise "Year In Review."

Here is a look back at the significant trends of תשע"ה/5775. Let's just that I hope for a much improved תשע"ו/5776.

10. Refugees
Where from Africa or Syria, whether to allow them in to Israel or not, the Israeli Government seems to care more about "refugees," and what they can do to boost its public image and overall standing in the eyes or the "international community," than its own citizens.

9. Infiltrators

Same thing, different word. 'Nuff said.

8. Women of the Wall
Yep! They're still around! The most, simultaneously hysterical and pathetic thing about the Hags of the Wall is that they have no clue that they're just being used as pawns. Unfortunately, they may be successful in convincing some naive, and perhaps disenfranchised Jews, that they represent anything even remotely related to Judaism.

7. BDS

Boycotting, Divesting, and Sanctioning Israel may just be the kick in the pants we need to wake up! Unfortunately, we Jews are too busy whining about it to notice.

6. ISIS
Israel is pretty surrounded by ISIS in the Sinai Desert, Azza (Gaza), Syria, and who knows what's going on in Jordan. We also have a suggestion here and there, that ISIS is already in Israel, having either sneaked in from abroad, or just inspired Israeli Arabs to join up via Internet.

ISIS Banner on the Temple Mount
Summer תשע״ד/2014

No doubt, the Israeli government will take advantage of the ISIS threat as a means to show the Israeli public that it needs it to protect them.

Shimon Peres

5. Shimon Peres
Shimon Peres wants to give away parts of our Divinely Promise Land, join together Esau (The West) with Yishma'el (Arabs/Muslims), and encourage our assimilation into Western, "progressive" culture, the antithesis of Torah. Doesn't anyone else see this?

4. Jewish Terrorism

Fatah Emblem

(eyes rolling) Fear mongering by the Israeli government and it loyal minyons trying to scare the public into believing that Torah observant activists are equated with Taliban, Iran, and ISIS, and will take everyone's Western "progressive," assimilation "rights" away if they had the chance. Pseudostinians who kill Jewish babies are "freedom fighters" in the eyes of the world, and in the eyes of many Jews as well. PA President Mahmud Abbas's Fatah Party emblem clearly  shows its ultimate goal for the Land of Israel,...erasing it from the map. But, Jews daring to ask questions about authentic Torah observance are "terrorists."

3. Torah vs. State

This year we have more reports than I can remember regarding the conflicts between Torah Low and Israeli Law. But, instead of talking about the conflict, religious lackeys of the Israeli Government insist on arguing that any conflict between the two does not exist.

2. Iran

Iran still insists on wiping us out, and apparently, so do the U. S. President and Secretary of State.


Maybe it is time to turn for help to the only one who can actually do something to protect us from Iran, and I don't mean any human power either.

1. Meir Ettinger

Meir Ettinger

People see this name, and are scared. Why? Because he is sitting in jail without indictment, conviction or trial, and absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any wrongdoing? Because he wrote some articles? In other countries, one would expect him to be called a "political dissident." However, Meir Ettinger has the wrong religion, the wrong beliefs, and the wrong loyalties for that.

In case you interested in what Meir Ettinger has actually said, and actually believes, you can read it here for yourself, instead of relying on rumors and lies.

IDF Urban Warfare Training: Preparing for ISIS

מוצש״ק פר׳ נצבים תשע״ה

YNET: Caracal fighters training for ISIS incursion
Amid the rising threat of a coordinated ISIS attack from Sinai, the mixed-gender battalion has begun training on complex urban warfare scenarios like those they may face after an ISIS attack.

Yoav Zitun, 09.09.15

Where and when will ISIS in Sinai act against Israel? The Israeli Intelligence community has been struggling to provide a real answer to this question in the last year. The reasons are varied – the ISIS branch operating out of Sinai is quite compartmentalized, and spread throughout a massive desert territory. They have no permanent training base, and use local Bedouin smugglers to operate in the border area. In any case, in order to prepare for the possibility of an attack, the mixed gender Caracal battalion has begun training in urban warfare.

In the face of this reality, military intelligence has been pouring resources into building a better intelligence picture of the organization which calls itself "Ansar Bait al-Maqdis," and although a whole department in the Shin Bet was established for this specific purpose in the wake of the revolution in Egypt, the Southern Command has been preparing for the worst case scenario. These scenarios include ISIS attacks on the Nitzana and Kerem Shalom crossing, or on the Israeli towns and villages near the northern portion of the Israeli/Egyptian border.

Dozens of terrorists are expected to partake in such an attack, which will most likely take place as part of a larger military-like operation, similar to the attacks conducted against Egyptian military outposts in the last year which caused the deaths of dozens of Egyptian police officers and soldiers. The coordinated attacks on the Egyptian army included attempts to capture swaths of urban terrain in northern Sinai.

A tall fence, which spans 220 kilometers on the border, is only expected to delay any strategic attack of the type planned by ISIS, which the Southern Command deems a "military operation" for all intents and purposes. As such, the fence is merely an element of the broader IDF readiness. The IDF's Caracal battalion, which is permanently charged with protecting a large swath of the Egyptian border area, took part in urban warfare training similar to that of other IDF infantry units, for the first time since its establishment.

As such, IDF officials believe that the mixed gender battalion – which includes male and female fighters, can do battle quickly and efficiently inside of Israeli towns or villages in the case of an ISIS incursion. The thinking within the Edom brigade, which is responsible for the border, is that the first responders to arrive on the scene of such an attack, like others which have taken place in recent years, will be the Caracal fighters who are responsible for the regional section, but whose training has never included urban warfare.

The first class of Caracal fighters recently trained on clearing buildings at the Kziot base, while using pyrotechnic effects which simulated live fire and grenades. In addition to the urban warfare training, the fighters practiced camouflage and observation techniques against militant forces across the border.

The command recently set concrete barriers along the border, in an attempt to disrupt anti-tank missile fire. Tank ambushes are also used by the Edom brigade in complex situations.

According to a deputy company commander in the battalion, Lt. Oren Pasan, "The region here is not similar to the West Bank, there you constantly feel the tension, which helps maintain a high level of operational readiness, and as such we hold as many simulated attack exercises as possible."

The Caracal company commander, Captain Chosa Levin, knows that she may be the first person to meet the armed fighters from the most ruthless terror organization on the planet, and will have to lead her troops in order to end any such incursion with a good outcome. "I don’t know when the next attack will happen. We are stronger than our enemy, but we still prepare for the worst case scenario."

Among the battalion's fighters there are several religious female fighters, as well as fighters from Dimona's Israelite community.

The ISIS branch in Sinai, which was established in 2010 by Al Qaeda, and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last year, is estimated to maintain 2,000-3,000 fighters armed with trucks and advanced weaponry including Kornet anti-tank missiles, and shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles.

In contrast to the Islamic state, which rules over a swath of territory containing seven million people in Iraq and Syria, the Sinai Branch has yet to show signs of territorial aspirations, apparently due to the Egyptian army's firm opposition to the group.

The Sinai branch has only recently carried out its first "ISIS style" execution, when it beheaded a Croatian citizen.

Ironically, it was only after "Ansar Bait al-Maqdis" became an ISIS affiliate, that it began attacking Egyptian army positions, and as a result Israel was temporarily left out of their crosshairs. Before the transition the Al-Qaeda group had conducted several attacks against Israel starting in 2011.

Two months ago, fighters from ISIS in Sinai managed to set an Egyptian combat ship ablaze after striking it with an anti-tank missile two miles from the shore, near Egyptian Rafah.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
There are several issues brought up by hints in the report:

1. The threat of ISIS from the Sinai. The threat of ISIS infiltration through Syria, and peripherally through Northern Jordan has been mentioned in previous reports. But, what about from Jordan as a whole? That we are all of a sudden BFF's, and giving them helicopters?

2. The need to improve Egyptian border defense. Now you know one of the reasons we have all of these infiltrators from Africa on our hands.

3. Mixed gender combat units. Of course, there was not any mention of increased, nor the rabbi convicted of I still do not know what, for pointing this and other Torah prohibitions of the IDF out, and blaming then IDF Chief Rabbi Yisra'el Weiss. So much for "democratic freedom of speech." In Israel, it is more like deMOCKratic.

4. Israel's acceptance of the Black Non-Hebrew insurgents as "Israelites." (See #3 above).

However, I am not going to mention any of these here. Rather, I would like to focus on the mention of "urban warfare training."

ISIS Flag on Har HaBayith (Temple Mount)
Summer, 2014

It is not uncommon for "other IDF infantry units" to engage in urban warfare training, in preparation for engaging Arab terrorists in towns, such Shchem, Jenin, and Azza (Gaza). There are some urban areas in northern Sinai, but the Caracal Battalion has not had any previous "urban warfare training."

This begs the following questions...

1. If the threat of an ISIS invasion is so daunting, then why not bring in a battalion with more experience in urban warfare. Internal IDF fighting over territory? Or will other more experienced battalions be needed elsewhere?

2. If the closest urban areas to Israel's Egyptian border are in northern Sinai, does this mean that the Caracal Battalion will be preparing to cross into Egyptian territory?

3. The timing of the Caracal Battalion's "urban warfare training" at the close of the U. S. government's Jade Helm 15 urban exercises in nine of its states is too coincidental. Are we seeing a trend here?

4. Are we really going to believe that the IDF's urban warfare skills will be limited to the Sinai? Don't be surprised if you start hearing about the threat of ISIS in YOUR local urban area, such as Ashqelon, Be'er Sheva, or even Jerusalem.

Stay tuned!

YNET's "Hassidic Jew"

כ״ד לחודש השישי תשע״ה

YNET: Meet the Hasidic-slogan-tagging Jew fighting in Syria
Timothy Paul Jacobs Wordsworth has been fighting with the Kurdish YPG in Syria for the past six months; he tells Ynet what brought him to this point, and about his dream of living in Israel.

Liron Nagler-Cohen, 08.31.15

In a special interview to Ynet, Batn El Ghoul, also known as Timothy Paul Jacobs Wordsworth, tells the story of how a British man ended up tagging the walls of former ISIS positions in Syria with Breslov Hasidic chants.

His story is truly something out a movie: He has spent the last six months fighting alongside the Kurdish YPG (People's Protection Units) against ISIS in Syria. He has tagged every house he has liberated with the Hasidic saying Na Nach Nachman, in order to – as he calls it – "Bring some light into the darkness."

In one of his more popular posts on social media, he posted a picture of a building he and his comrades had liberated, saying: "ISIS turned this school, 50 km from their capital in Raqqa, into a prison. I was part of horrible fighting in the area, my friends and I fended ISIS off when they tried to recapture the prison from the next village."

The post continued, "ISIS left women's clothes and underwear on the floors of the cells, a lot of it, evidence of unholy crimes. I wrote Rabbi Nachman's name here to bring some light in to this black sink hole of torture, rape, murder and savage war. Amen."

But Jacobs-Wordsworth's story did not start in Syria. The 37-year-old is a British citizen, and the grandson of a holocaust survivor who made it out of Dachau after losing his mother in Auschwitz, and his father at Theresienstadt. "My grandfather converted to Christianity, and I grew up as a Christian," he says.

Although his grandfather passed at the age of 96, Jacobs says he "always knew he was from a Jewish family, and heard stories about my holocaust survivor grandfather. My mom is a Zionist, and she taught me to love Israel and hate cruelty. She always told me the due to the suffering incurred by the Jews and my family during the Holocaust, made me feel physically ill."

Jacobs Wordsworth did two central things with the education he received growing up: He joined the British army in order to fight against evil, and travelled to Israel with the goal of live here.

"I wanted to help the people of Bosnia, whom I saw as undergoing another sort of holocaust and genocide," he says. "That’s why I joined the British army in 1996, and served several years in the British forces under NATO in Bosnia and Kosovo."

10 years ago he made his dream a reality and visited Israel, believing he could become an Israeli citizen without too much fuss, however things didn’t work out like he planned: "I asked for Israeli citizenship, but I was deported from Israel in 2005 because my visa had expired," he says. "Because I grew up as a Christian in a Christian family, I couldn’t make aliyah through the law of return, although with god's blessing I will be able to return to Israel this year, because my 10 year entrance ban expires soon."

During his stay in Israel, he was exposed to Breslov Hasidism – and immediately fell in love. "I saw Nachman Hassids dancing in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, but it was an Orthodox friend in London who convinced me to travel with him to Uman. It was during Rosh Hashana in 2012, and since then I have been to Uman three times."

In the meantime he got married, and joined the Kurdish forces battling against ISIS in Syria. "I got to them through a Facebook page called the 'Lions of Rojava,' which helps smuggle international volunteers into Syria, most of whom are former soldiers from the Kurdish forces in northern Iraq," he says.

"I fought in Syria for six months, and I wrote Rabbi Nachman's name in a bunch of places where we beat ISIS," he added. "I have met Jewish soldiers with strong Jewish roots from around the world among us here."

Jacobs-Wordsworth tends to close every sentence with "Am Israel Chai," and Rabbi Nachman from Uman stars in many of his Facebook posts. But he does admit that his beliefs are somewhat complex: "I believe that there were two messiahs, as it is written in the Talmud: The messiah Ben Yossef, and the messiah Ben David. I believe that Ben Yossef was already here, and his name was Jesus. (ימך שמו וזכרו) I believe that the messiah Ben David will come soon.

"I plan on filling a request to make Aliyah again," Jacobs-Wordsworth says, and adds that he has undergone a Reform Judaism conversion in London a few years ago. "I am a member of the North Western Reform Synagogue in London," he said. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
This individual is not a Hassidic Jew.

He is not even a Jew!

Leave it to YNET to make up its own "Judaism" as it goes along. No surprises there.

He mentions that he was unable to qualify for Israeli citizenship, because he was raised a Christian. Good! Now he suggests that he will receive God's blessing (חו״ח) to re-enter the land. Apparently, his "studies" have left out some crucial halakhoth (Torah Laws), as to who is actually allowed to live here.

Did he obtain one of those fake conversions as a backdoor into Israel? Or did he obtain it, in order to circumvent his "ban" from entering Israel, and study Torah at a proper institution? I have no idea. However, obtaining a “Reform conversion” makes him a “Reformist,” not a Jew.

I am not even going to touch upon the issue here of Na Nach... not really being Breslov, let alone a "Hassidic saying."

The report from YNET already had a lot of other crap to fill three blog posts!

He still relates to Yoshke, the Christian theological figure, claiming that he was Mashi’ah ben Yosef. Previously, I had thought even the “Reformists” were above something as idiotic as this. But, apparently, I was wrong.

This guy mentions the Talmud. But, he has apparently not learned that the Babylonian Talmud mentions a couple of “Yoshkes.” My favorite is the one who goes down to Egypt to learn magic. Which one is this individual talking about?

This is just another guy trying to graft Christianity onto Judaism, whether he is conscious of it or not. Even if he ever does go through a real conversion to Judaism, if he holds onto these beliefs, at the very least, he would be considered a kofer (denier of crucial aspects of Torah) anyway, like all Christians and Muslims (Ramba"m, Sefer Mitzvoth 51).

At the very least, he needs to be reported to the Israeli Rabbinate, and investigated, and jump through hoops. But, like my real, Jewish convert friends, who have the merit of living in Israel, I am sure that he will not be.

I have no doubt that all he will have to do is flash that silly piece of paper from his "Reformism," fake rabbis, and he will be embraced a social justice hero, having defended the refugees of ISIS violence.

He may even have the "Law of Return" interpreted in his favor, given the assimilationist, anti-Torah, "religious freedom" oriented Israeli Supreme Court, religious freedom, that is, except for Jews.

His Christian mother is a Zionist, and loves Israel. Like all such Christians, they love us, alright. They want to love us to death, take our souls AND our homeland.

By the way, does the term "Jerusalem Syndrome" mean anything to you?

The Ultimate Solution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict!

ערב שבת קודש פר׳ כי תבוא תשע״ה

Don't like the Torah solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict?!

Don't like the United Nations, United States, European Union, Russian Quartet crap?!

No problem!

An Egyptian bazillionaire has come up with the ultimate solution to the Arab-Isareli conflict!

RT: ‘Humans, not cattle’: Egyptian mogul wants to buy Mediterranean island to house refugees

4 Sep, 2015

Shocked by the fate and treatment of refugees who risk crossing thousands of miles from war zones to reach the EU, a Egyptian billionaire has put forward an unusual offer: He wants to buy an Italian or Greek island to care for the migrants.

“Greece or Italy sell me an island, I’ll call its independence and host the migrants and provide jobs for them building their new country,” Egyptian television industry billionaire Naguib Sawiris proposed via Twitter.

It is not just empty words: Sawis insists he is ready to make concrete proposals to Rome and Athens.

Zonnone, Italy
uninhabited island

“You have dozens of islands which are deserted and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of refugees,” the billionaire told AFP, calling the idea “feasible.” But the man acknowledged potential legal challenges to his project which could include potential jurisdiction and customs regulation problems. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Oh, wait a minute... There are just a few problems with this plan.

Gavi, Italy
uninhabited island

1. The bazillionaire, Naguib Sawis seems to be referring to the saving of the EU from itself, and those politically-correct refugees from the violent oppression of ISIS.

2. Either the Arabs, calling themselves Palestinians, are left out because that would stand in the way of the Arabs' goal to wipe Israel off the map, including the utter destruction of the Jewish People. This goal cannot be accomplished with Arabs running away from Israel. As Rabbi Meir Kahane hy"d used to say,...

"The greatest weapon of the Arabs is babies."

3. Along the same lines, once the Arab-Israeli conflict has been solved, neither the Pseudostinians, nor the Arabs living elsewhere in the world will be able to complain about this it, because it will have been solved.

4. ...or perhaps, like other Arab countries, such as Kuwait and Lebanon, the Pseudostinians are just not wanted around. After killing 3,000 Palestinians in 1970-71, it seems that Jordan finally gave up the fight against its Palestinian majority. Jordan's current King Abdullah II even married one. In 1978, Former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat even refused to take the Palestinian side of the town of Rafiah, telling then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, "No, that Rafiah is not our Rafiah."

But, hey, what could I possibly know?

I am just a Jew, living in the inherent Jewish Homeland, who believes that the Torah offers the only solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Israel's Big Helicopter Giveaway to Jordan!

ערב שבת קודש פר׳ דברים/חזון תשע״ה

YNET: Israeli Cobras gifted to Jordan for 'border security'
US source says about 16 decommissioned attack helicopters given to Jordan last year to fend off potential attacks from ISIS.

Reuters, 07.23.15

Israel has given retired US-supplied Cobra combat helicopters to Jordan to help the Hashemite kingdom fend off insurgent threats on the Syrian and Iraqi borders, a US official with knowledge of the deal said.

The handover, initiated last year, was approved by Washington, which provided mechanical overhauls for the aircraft before they were incorporated free of charge in Jordan's existing Cobra fleet, the official said.

"These choppers are for border security," the official, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, told Reuters.

Asked how many Cobras were transferred, the official said: "Around 16, though some may have been used by the Jordanians for spare parts" rather than kept intact.

Jordanian and Israeli officials declined comment, as did the Pentagon.

Israel and Jordan, as well as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, this week hosted US Defense Secretary Ash Carter, who offered reassurances about the regional fight against Islamic State and the July 14 international deal curbing Iran's nuclear program. (cont.)

And with U. S. approval to boot! How gracious of them!

And what business is it of theirs anyway? So, they overhauled them. So what?

Oh, yeah, and the U. S. has provided us with "reassurances?" Yeah, right! Those are worth absolutely nothing!

Anyway, how much do you wanna bet that these helicopters, gifted to Jordan, will just be used against us, here in Israel?

Either they will be taken be ISIS, when Jordan falls. Or Jordan itself will use them against us, with or without an Islamist takeover first.

Seriously, I think our co-dependence on other nations is more of our enemies than other nations themselves.

We are making it just way too easy for them to destroy us.

Arutz 7: ISIS in Jerusalem Threatens Christians
For the first time ever 'ISIS Palestine' publishes fliers in eastern part of the capital city threatening 'revenge' against Christians.

Ari Yashar, June 26, 2015

A flier published by the brutal Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization was put up around eastern Jerusalem on Thursday, in what is thought to be the first ISIS announcement in the Israeli capital.

The flier threatens Christians in the area with "revenge," and is signed by the organization "ISIS Palestine," reports Channel 10.

ISIS has been rapidly gaining a foothold in Israel, with dozens of Arab citizens of the state leaving for Syria and Iraq to fight for the jihadist organization after ISIS members took part in Hamas's terror war against Israel last summer.

A cell of the group was nabbed in Hevron in Judea last November showing their presence in the region, while in Gaza the group has clashed with Hamas and repeatedly fired rockets at Israel to spark fighting between Israel and Hamas.

Perhaps as a result of that threat to Hamas presented by ISIS, Palestinian Arab commentator Halad Ameira who is considered to be a follower of Hamas's terrorist ideology told Channel 10 the group should hold talks with Israel.

"A negotiation between Muslims and non-Muslims is something that should be taken into account," said Ameira. "Enemies negotiate when they're killing each other. What is forbidden according to religious law is concessions undercutting the key principles."

Hamas's charter calls for a genocide against all Jews, although unlike the Palestinian Authority (PA) that it signed a unity deal with last year, it tends to pursue its anti-Israel agenda through physical violence rather than "peace talks" meant to force the Jewish state into dangerous concessions.

Ameira claimed that even if Hamas were to sign a ten-year "tahdiya" or temporary lull deal with Israel, it would not be a breach of key principles.

"Jihad is not a goal in and of itself but rather a means to achieve peace," he claimed, asserting that the terrorist violence aiming to destroy Israel was meant for "peace."

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
This report reminds us of the true differences between Hamas and Abbas's Fatah, overt violence vs. patience and trickery, both strategies intending on the destruction of Israel.

But, this is not the reason I am commenting on it. Rather, I would like to suggest a possible connecting of the dot.

ISIS on the Temple Mount
Tip: Jews News

I could easily see the U. S. and possibly other nations "offer assistance" to Israel in battling their "common enemy," ISIS. The United States of America, the defender of oppressed minorities, even if they are Christians.

If the U. S. plays its public relations cards right, it could sell such an operation to both its left-wing and its right-wing citizens. The left would support defending "oppressed minorities," whether Christian or Kurdish, from ISIS, whom it believes is different than other Arabs, particularly Palestinians Pseudostinians.

The right would support a military action to defend Christians against anyone, not to mention the opportunity to bring theoretically Christian forces into the Holy Land. The seeds were already planted by a left-winger, too, Secretary of State John Kerry proposed the stationing of American troops in the Jordan Valley, in order to allay the Israeli Government's security concerns over a nascent, Pseudostinian state's border with Jordan.

Outrage has already been gaining momentum on social media, regarding the violence toward Christians, Kurdish, Yazdi, and other ethnic minorities by the hands of ISIS. The key would be portraying any military actions differentially, depending on the target community.

Before you know it, Israel will be stuck in the middle of the next stage in the war between Esau (The West) and Yishma'el (Arabs/Muslims), both with a final objective of stealing our Land, Jerusalem in particular (Zech. 12-14).

With the Israeli Left collaborating with Yishma'el, and the Israeli Right collaborating with Esau, instead of banding together to resist the infiltration of both of them, I am afraid this is going to be a very grueling period in our history.

Dear Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Rejects Extremism? Seriously?

ערב שבת קודש פר׳ וארא תשע״ה

Oh, I know that I am probably going to get into trouble for this, one way or another, assuming that Mark ever sees this, and bothers end up reading it, which I seriously doubt. Disrespecting a brother in public is a big "No-No," albeit not my intention to do so. Since Mark is a brother, I will do my best to put this as nicely as I can.

Nevertheless, I do believe this issue is important enough to warrant an open letter to founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, brother or not.

That being said, I am also certain that many Jews will get on my case for not being strong enough in my calling him out for his recent statement on "extremist."

If I have taken his statements out of context, then by all means, let me have it. This was what Mark Zuckerberg (or his staff) posted on his own Facebook page, January 9, 2015, which was swiftly picked by the usual social media transportation devices:

Let me share an experiment with you. Those of you with Internet savvy probably have some experience with Google Translate. Although I appreciate this tool, and it has been getting better, it is far from perfect, even with languages closely related to each other.

Sure, some of U. S. President George W. Bush's famous last words included, "We don't have enough Arabic translators." and this was one of the few times that he was right (Ahem!).

However, using Google Translate can provide us, including Mark Zuckerberg and his staff, with enough information to know if a particular Facebook group is connected to an "extremist" group. It even provides definitions below, confirming the proper use of the words and phrases entered.

Here are some examples. Just spell "Hamas" in English, translate to Arabic, and then translate the Arabic back into English. Copy this word and search for on Facebook, and see what comes up.

حماس = Hamas
A Palestinian Islamic movement founded in 1987 with the aim of establishing a Palestinian state incorporating present-day Israel and the West Bank. In 2006 Hamas defeated the more moderate Fatah in the elections for the Palestinian National Authority.

حزب الله = Hezbollah
An extremist Shiite Muslim group that has close links with Iran, created after the Iranian revolution of 1979 and active especially in Lebanon.

تنظيم القاعدة = Al-Qaeda
A militant Islamic fundamentalist group.

الدولة الإسلامية في العراق وسوريا = Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

الدولة الإسلامية في بلاد الشام = Islamic State of the Levant

Apparently, ISIS and ISL are too new for a definition. Or if the absence of a definition popping is a result of an error in spelling after all, well, then you still have three more groups above to use in your searches.

Sure, your search results will invariably include those set up as anti-terrorist groups and pages. But, these can be weeded out with a quick translation of the title.

See for yourself just how many come up on your searches.

Why can't Zuckerberg's team uncover these as easily as we can?

Now try searching in Hebrew, or even in English, for so-called "extremist" groups. I doubt that you will find too many of them, not to mention the double standards when it comes to defining what is, or is not, an "extremist" group.

Debbie Schlussel is one of several writers who have reported on the application of double standards on Facebook, including their own personal experiences with Facebook censorship. I recommend that you check out her site.

There are plenty of misguided, Jewish leftists, both English and Hebrew speakers, ready to jump on anything they find to be even remotely threatening to their assimilated, anti-Torah ways of life. Some of them may even get paid to sit in front of their computers screens, and search and report any group, page, forum, or comment, they find to be offensive to their Western exile, assimilationist sensibilities.

In fact, one theory has suggested that a certain "peace center," which shall remain nameless for now, employs such individuals to do just that, as well as making certain that enough comments which reflect their view can be found on every news item.

Now, let's hope that the Esser Agaroth Facebook Page is still where I left it, after Shabbath.

Oh, yeah, and please don't hesitate to "like" it.
