שתפו עכשיו!

הקמפיין המיסיונרי הולך ומתגבר, וממידע מיוחד שהגיע אלינו, המיסיונרים הולכים להשקיע כמיליון דולר בקמפיין שישכנע יהודים להמיר את דתם לנצרות. הם מסתובבים בכל הארץ, אבל הקמפיין הנוכחי מתמקד באזור ירושלים. אתמול הם נראו מסתובבים אפילו בשכונה החרדית מאה שערים.

אין גבול לרצון של המיסיונרים לנצר יהודים תמימים.

יד לאחים - לא מוותרים על אף יהודי

עשר אגורות (2¢):
מאוד חשוב להפיץ את זה! יהודים בארץ לא מבינים שפעילות של מיסיונרים נוצרים היא בעיה גדולה מאוד. חסידי גור וכמה חברי תנועת ש״ס, וכמה חסידי הרב מאיר כהנה הי״ד כן יודעים על הבעיה הזאת. אבל רוב עם ישראל בארץ, גם חרדים, וגם דתיים לאומים, וגם חילונים לא מבינים איזה גדולה ומסוכנת הבעיה הזאת, מפני שרוב המודעות, המאמרים, הכנסים, והפעולות בשפה אנגלית. ואז, אפילו מי שיודע אנגלית שלא מחפש מידע וחדשות על מיסיונרים נוצרים במיוחד יפספס את זה.

The above video is from a couple of days ago, from the counter-missionary organization Yad leAchim.

Translation of the four sets of subtitles in the video:
Unbelievable! This is happening right now in Me'ah She'arim. Christian missionaries dressed as Haredim (often referred to as "ultra-orthodox") in the alleyways of Me'ah She'arim.

Illegal posting of missionary posters on announcement boards in Me'ah She'arim.

An additional missionary missionizing in Me'ah She'arim.

A million dollars for you to convert - yes, it's absolutely real!

The missionary campaign is increasing, and with special information reaching us, the missionaries are going to invest about $ 1 million in a campaign that will persuade Jews to convert to Christianity. They travel all over the country, but the current campaign focuses on the Jerusalem area. Yesterday they were seen walking around even in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Meah She'arim.

There is no limit to the desire of the missionaries to convert innocent Jews.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
It is very important to distribute this. For the most part, Jews in Israel are unaware of the greatness of the problem with Christian missionaries is. Sure, Gerer Hassidim, some of those involved with the Sha"S Party, and some followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane hy"d do understand there is a problem in Israel. But most of Am Yisrael living in Eretz Yisrael, Haredim, National Religious, and secular alike do not understand just how huge and dangerous this problem is because most all of the announcements, articles, conferences, and activities are in English. And so, even someone who knows English who does not search for information and news about Christian missionaries will miss seeing it.

אמש שותף הדירה שלי מצא את הדף הזה תחת הדלת. מישהו ניסה להכניס את זה לדירה. ומי שניסה את זה הוא מכת הנוצרים שקוראים לעצמם ״עדי ה'.״ הם מסיונרים נוצריים של סוג מיוחד ומוזר מאוד שרוצים לנצר את יהודים.

אם אתם רואים דף כזה באזור, קודם כל למחוק את הטקסט, ונא להודיע לשכנים שלכם להזהיר אותם ולהגיד להם לקרוע ולזרוק את זה ולמסור את המידע הלאה.

וגם מומלץ להתקשר לאירגון ״יד לאחים,״ אירגון של אלופים שנלחמים נגד מסיונרים, כדי להודיע להם איפה דפים כאלה נמצאים.

הם גם דיווחו על הפעולה הנוכחית של הכת הזאת בשבוע שעבר.

My roommate found this flier under our door the other night. It is from the so-called J-Witnesses. If you see this flyer in your neighborhood, like we did in South Jerusalem, destroy them, but save one. Cross out the text, like I did above, and then hang it in your building, explaining in Hebrew who it came from, to destroy it, and to pass the word. You can copy and paste the Hebrew above.

It is also recommended to contact Yad leAchim, an organization of champions fighting against Christian missionaries of all types. Let them know where you found these flyers.

They also reported on this current campaign last week.

Remember that as Jews from English speaking countries, you have more knowledge and experience in dealing with such matters than our native Hebrew speaking friends and neighbors, probably more than our French, Russian, and Amharic speaking friends and neighbors, too.

Freedom of Religious Expression in Israel

י״ג לחודש השישי תשע״ד

Almost daily, there have been reports in the news of Christians being attacked, kidnapped, raped, and killed in Syria, Iraq, Nigeria, and Bangladesh, all at the hands of Muslims.

Although Muslims have been notoriously abusive of their own, in "honor killings" around the world, as human shields and a terrorist trainees, have maimed, killed, and otherwise abused non-Muslims regardless of their religion, Christians have certainly been a sometimes favorite target, albeit not as popular as Jews.

Recent events reminded me of the following grafted, I had seen posted on Jews News, earlier this year.

(Avodah Zara censored out.)

This Christian praises Israel for the religious freedom it affords its citizens.

Actually, though, not only do Christians enjoy such religious freedoms in Israel, but so do Muslims, Druze, and several others, in probably the only country in the Middle East that allows it.

In a way, non-Jews enjoy more religious freedom than religious Jews.

Bedouins in the South practice polygyny, without fear of reprisal from the Israeli Government. Even though polygyny is "illegal," under Israeli law.

The thugs from Chicago, calling themselves the Black [Non] Hebrews do the same. And had did they even get into Israel, you might ask? Well, they started creeping in, after being kicked out of Liberia. That's right, kicked out. Then when threatened with deportation by the Israeli Government, they Black Non-Hebrews threatened back,...with mass suicide if they were not allowed to remain. Well, the Israeli Government certainly did not want that on its hands, and so now they enjoy defacto autonomy, funneling in whomever they want, whenever they want.

Of course, if a Jew dared to petition the government to marry one than one wife, he would be demonized as an oppressor of women. If he were to marry one woman on the the government's books, and have one on the side, all of the parties involved would be jailed for tax fraud.

Meanwhile, Muslims may pray on Har HaBayith (Temple Mount), yet Jews are still forbidden. Even Christian tourists seem to be afforded more leniencies than Jews. Anyone who says that Jews have control over Har HaBayith is blind, an idiot, or both.

Even if there truly were freedom of religious expression for all peoples in Israel, "all" meaning religious Jews, too, where is the basis for this in the Torah? How is the concept of allowing, even encouraging, the practice of religions other that Judaism supported by halakhah (Torah Law)?

Actually, it isn't.

Freedom of religious expression simply does not exist in the Torah, with possible exception of the diversity of our religious customs.

The phrase שבעים פנים לתורה (Seventy Faces of the Torah) which liberal Jews, in particular, like to throw around, refers to the diversity within halakhic (Torah legal) parameters. This phrase can refer to midrashic interpretations, as well as hashqafah. It does not, however, refer to doing whatever you want, and calling it Judaism, let alone "Torah."

Any "face" absent of halachic basis is no face of the Torah. In fact, it is forbidden to interpret the Torah contrary to halakhah.

משנה אבות ג,יד [יא]
רבי אלעזר המודעי אומר ... והמגלה פנים בתורה--אף על פי שיש בידו מעשים טובים, אין לו חלק לעולם הבא.

Mishnah Avoth 3:14 [11]
Rabbi Elazar of Modi'in said: If a man ... teaches meanings in the Torah which are not according to Halachah, even though he has a knowledge of the Torah and good works, he has no share in the world to come.

See also TB Sanhedrin 99a.

This covers the so-called "movements," claiming to be full fledged denominations of Judaism, albeit they are anything but. Although, they, too are gaining ground in the way of "rights," as they also serve the Erev Rav's anti-Torah agenda.

The so-called religious "rights" of Christians and Muslims serve the same agenda, assisting in the attempting chipping away of the Torah's influence. Keeping the Christian-aligned, right-wing pitted against the Muslim-aligned, Left-wing is just an added benefit, as in "divide and conquer."

There have been several debates recently regarding Christians and Muslims in particular. Are Christians to be considered practitioners of avodah zarah (foreign/forbidden worship) or not? Land be sold, rented, or even given away to Muslims? Can we currently accept either of these, or any other, religious groups as gerei toshav (resident aliens)? But, these debates are irrelevant.

Neither Christians nor Muslim could ever be considered B'nei No'ah, and thus candidates for becoming gerei toshav, as they have added and subtracted from the Torah. They have not accepted the Torah 100%, as the truth.

The Ramba"m says this more clearly, when he provides Christians and Muslims as examples of koferim (Hil. Teshuvah 3:17). However, since everyone's favorite comeback line these days seems to be "We don't pasqin like so-and-so!" So, I figured that I would keep it as simple as possible.


Non-Jews who are forbidden from residing with in Israel, remain here anyway, not only because of the beliefs that we are unable to resettle them elsewhere and that the international community would become enraged, but because of the belief, even of "rabbis," that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the non-Jews remaining.

And so, whether Christian or Muslim, Bahai or Hindu, non-Jews may enjoy religious freedom while residing within the State of Israel's deMOCKracy, it is without any sanction from the Torah, the only Law which should really matter to Am Yisrael.

Good News and Jews From Gaza!

י"ט לחודש האחד עשר תשע"ד

Arutz 7: Bar Mitzvah: 'I Was a Muslim from Gaza, Now I'm a Jew'
Bar mitzvah for son of Jewish woman tricked into marrying and living with Arab in Gaza, escaped amid escalating abuse.

Ari Yashar, January 15, 2014

An unusual bar mitzvah ceremony was held on Tuesday for the son of a Jewish woman tricked into marrying and living with an Arab man in Gaza for years. The mother and her children recently managed to escape violent abuse and restart their lives as Jews.

Tefillin, which all Jewish men (from age 13) are commanded to don daily,
save for Shabbath and certain festival days.

"I lived for years as a Muslim. Today I stand as a proud Jewish youth," remarked the bar mitzvah boy, referred to as D., at the event. "I won't forget all the days and nights that I knew I was a Jew but lived as a Muslim in Gaza."

The boy lived with his Jewish mother L. and Arab father A. in Gaza with no connection to Judaism until 4 years ago, reports Yisrael Hayom. He comments "I'm realizing a dream thanks to the Yad L'achim organization that brought me to the most moving day in my life."

Yad L'achim, an anti-missionary organization that has saved captive Jewish women on numerous occasions, had been helping L. get back on her feet. (Read the entire article)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
This story is yet another of countless examples of the amazing and heroic work of Yad leAchim (A Hand To Brothers). As alluded to above, Yad leAchim not only rescues Jewish women and children from abusive, Arab men and their abusive families, but also battles against the cancer of Christian missionary activity in Israel. The organization operates much like Jews For Judaism in English speaking countries, but with the necessary, Israeli touch.

Mazal Tov to D. on the occasion of his becoming bar-misswah, and Kol HaKavod to Yad leAchim for making it all possible.

תלמוד בבלי סנהדרין לז,א
...לפיכך נברא אדם יחידי ללמדך שכל המאבד נפש אחת מישראל מעלה עליו הכתוב כאילו איבד עולם מלא וכל המקיים נפש אחת מישראל מעלה עליו הכתוב כאילו קיים עולם מלא....

BT Sanhedrin 37a
...Therefore, man was created singly, to teach you that whoever causes a single soul from Israel to perish, Scripture considers him as if he had caused an entire world to perish, and whoever preserves a single soul from Israel, Scripture considers him as if he had preserved an entire world....

Ahmed & Salim (Updated)

30 of the Third Month 5769

Yet again, yours truly is late getting on the band wagon. What can I say? I do other things besides blogging, like working and learning.

Anyway, I have to tell you that the Internet cartoon show, "Ahmed & Salim" is hysterical!

Often referred to as the "Arab South Park," "Ahmed & Salim" is presented in pseudo-Arabic, with Hebrew and English subtitles. Episodes have been banned in Saudi Arabia and in the United Arab Emirates (big surprise). One episode has apparently been banned from YouTube altogether.

From the "Ahmed & Salim" official website:

Hello, we are Tom Trager and Or Paz. Each week we write, direct, voice, animate and edit each episode in order to entertain and offend everyone. In contrary to what you may think we do not think bad of Arabs, we simply dislike people in general.

For any questions, death threats and comments
please mail us at: sugarzaza@gmail.com

You can read the background and "controversy" surrounding "Ahmed & Salim" on-line in the Jerusalem Post.

So far, there are seven episodes. I look forward to more. But, I do have to issue a MAJOR PROFANITY ALERT. If you prefer not to listen to profanity, then "Ahmed & Salim" is not for you.

Links to episodes are listed below with synopses (Warning: Spoiler alert).

(Tip Credit: Shmu'el)


Episode #2 - Guitar Hero anyone?

Episode #3 - A must see for Facebook users and those who loved (or hated) the TV show "Friends."

Episode #4 - I will hazard a guess that this elusive Episode #4 is the "banned" episode. I wonder who was behind the ban, Arabs or Jews.

Episode #5 - Uh-oh. Ahmed falls in love with a Jewish girl. Fortunately, heroic organizations like Yad leAchim exist to help combat the consequences of "liberal" education, leading Jews astray, like in this episode.

Episode #6 - Ahmed and Salim take on the question of YouTube and censorship.

Episode #7 - Ahmed and Salim are sent to Osama bin Laden for special terrorist education. MAJOR SEXUAL REFERENCES ALERT

10 ag Commentary:
I believe that one of the underlying messages presented in "Ahmed & Salim" is that Arab kids can be resistant to the culture and education of violence surrounding them, and just want to sit in front of the computer or television playing video games or chatting with friends all day,...just like every other kid in the world.

Do you believe that the children in Azza and elsewhere are just like every other kid, in non-Muslim, Western OR Eastern societies?

The elementary school year has ended or is about to end. Did you get a chance to sign your kids up camp?

More Christians!

Mossa'ei Shabbath Qodesh Parshath Shelah 5769

So, my first Shabbath back in Jerusalem, and I get to see Christians on the Midrahov (Ben-Yehudah/Mordechai Ben-Hillel) musically welcoming me into the new week. Just great!



I did my best to let Hebrew speakers know who they are, and what they are doing there. Some haredi kids moved along, yet another religious man was not in the least bit interested in hearing about misswoth (commandments) related to avodah zarah (foreign worship). At least I got this lovely reaction from the group's leader, who, as you can see, was none to happy to hear the word "police," not that they would do anything, let alone come.

Unfortunately, I only had the B'nei Braq number for Yad leAchim (anti-missionary) and not the Jerusalem one with me. They are pretty on top of these things, but still, it never hurts to report in. The worst thing that will happen is that they will tell you thank you, and that they already know about it.

I encourage you to keep these phone numbers handy, and do the same:

Yad leAchim:

Jerusalem (02) 537-1003 Haifa (04) 867-4122 New York (866) 923-5224

B'nei Braq (03) 579-8383 Qeriyath Shemonah (04) 695-1819 Montreal (514) 276-1185

The Christian Missionary Who Didn't Ruin My Day

9 of the Ninth Month 5768

Last summer I reported an experience describing how One Christian Missionary Can Ruin My Day.

The other day, I encountered more Christian missionaries, but I handled it much differently than the last time.

Last time, I encountered a large group. This time I encountered only two.

Last time, it was in the middle of Shuq, Mahaneh Yehudah, the huge open market in Jerusalem. This time it was on the beach in Yaffo.

How I ended up on the beach in Yaffo in the first place is another blog post for another time.

But, the reason I handled this recent encounter differently was not because the situation was different. I just did not feel that I was very effective last time. So, rather than repeat the same strategy, I decided to try a different approach.

Since my college days, I have been very concerned about the threat posed by Christian missionaries. Back in the 1980's at UCLA, I was glad to have the opportunity to meet Rabbi Ben-Tsion Kravitz, founder of Jews For Judaism, who was actually doing something combating this threat.

I attended a couple of his lectures, and found them fancinating. However, as a college student with a much lower level of maturity than the average 19-year-old, my priorities were set elsewhere, instead of volunteering to help. I was content knowing that someone else was doing something about this threat.

Years later, a high motivation to "deal" with missionaries notwithstanding, I have little experience in doing so. It does not matter how knowledgeable one is of Torah, nor how skilled one is in debate. Over the years, I have learned that approaching missionaries involves much more that the employment of these two, valuable abilities.

So, when I encountered missionaries this time around, seeking a different strategy, I simply contacted someone who had more experience than I.

I got on the phone to 144, Israel's "411" telephone information, and obtained the number for Yad leAchim, which by the way is:

02-5371003

Or call toll-free:

Israel

1-800-620-640


U. S.
(800) 709-2005


Canada (Toll)
(514) 276-1185

"Re'uven" (not his real name), the man on the phone, was very courteous. I explained that I was witnessing two women walk along the beach handing out literature, and talking to sunbathers, and that I did not know what would be most effective for me to do.

He suggested that I get a piece of their literature, and ask him what they were doing, then call him back.

I walked down to the beach, and did just that, addressing them in English. I said "that looks interesting. May I have one?' They obliged. I asked them if they had a website. They said no, but pointed to the mailing address on the back of the brochure they were handing out.

I thanked them. But even though I was taking a new approach, I still could not help getting in my digs, calmly letting them know that what they are doing is forbidden, and why, and that they "would be contacted."

Silly perhaps, but some habits are just too hard to break.

I got back on the phone with "Re'uven," and provided him with the name and address on the literature. He recognized the name immediately. He said that they were aware of their activities, and that they have not been terribly successful.

I recognized the Hebrew literature as well. This was the same organization, Ohavei Tzion. I encountered in the Shuq in Jerusalem. I told "Re'uven" that I was glad they were aware of this organization's activities, and I wanted to make sure to report them whenever I saw them, as well as to follow any particular strategy Yad LeAchim had.

We thanked each other, and said goodbye. Thanks to Rabbi Kravitz, the seed was planted 20 years ago. I was provided with awareness of the missionary threat, and with hope that there was something that could be done. Thanks to Yad LeAchim, I have a practical and easily accessible resource for how to deal with the threat.

Frustrated as I am with Christian missionaries, and with the Israeli government allowing their activities to continue, I no longer have to let them ruin my day.

One Christian Missionary Can Ruin My Day

Erev Shabbath Qodesh Parshath Matot-Masa'ei 5767

It only takes one christian missionary to ruin my day. So you can imagine what 30 of them did to me yesterday. Yeah, I know what some of you will say:

They can only have power over over you...if you let them.

That may be true to a certain extent, on an emotional or psychological level. Yet, when Jews fail to respond to missionaries*, at least in some way, then complacency, avoidance, numbness, and other manifestations of denial, of the true threat of christian missionaries, can assert a more profound and dangerous power.

Yesterday, I was sitting in the shuq (Mahaneh Yehudah) in Jerusalem, having coffee and trying to refocus, deciding what else I would try to accomplish in the city before making the long trek back to the Shomron (Samaria). Then I heard it...the singing, the guitars, and the proverbial tambourines, and I knew what was about to make its way around the corner. The volume grew louder; my nerves grew more aggravated. The over-sized Israeli flags made their appearance first, above the heads in the Thursday evening, pre-Shabbath crowd. A man with a huge, Yemenite shofar (horn) made periodic blasts, further announcing their presence.

Usually what happens to me when I encounter christian missionaries is that the weight of responsibility for the spiritual fate of the entire Jewish People bears down upon me. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about. It may sound silly and irrational, but yesterday was no different. The anger can become overwhelming. I knew I had to do something. But, what? My anger can really get in the way of my thinking rationally, and has gotten me into trouble more than once. As the make-shift parade passed by my table, I was handed a pamphlet. I accepted it, then ripped it up, through it back at the stunned lady who had handed it to me, and started yelling [various epitaphs] in Hebrew. My goal was to communicate with the on-lookers, not the paraders.

Close by two yeshiva students were trying to explain to an apparently secular Jew what was what happening, and why it was wrong. I joined it. The students pointed to me, in a gesture for their to listen to me, as they weren't so confident speaking in Hebrew. The secular Jew said he was unwilling to talk to me, but I was too aggravated and angry. I don't know how, but I immediately calmed, and told him that was understandable. He listened after all, and we ended up having a pleasant talk. He wanted to know why their parade of singing was a problem. "They have their path; we have ours."

With an Arab listening in, I responded saying that:

The Yishma'elim (Arabs) want to murder our bodies; the christians want to murder our souls.

Torah never entered this discussion. Although in retrospect, it probably should have. My partner in this dialog and I shook hands, and I proceeded to leave the shuq. Then, I realized I had forgotten to purchase one of the very things I had come to the shuq to purchase in the first place: hilbeh**. Back I went to the second or third best place in Jerusalem to buy hilbeh, depending upon whom you ask. Sure enough I encountered the missionary parade on another pass. That was it. I could not grab, rip-up, and stomp on enough of their literature. I could not yell at them enough. I was intent on waking each and every one of my fellow Jews up from their denial, saying: These people are dangerous. Do something.

I looked around, and was please to find that some Jews were doing something. There were various approaches. One man, who looked like he could have been from Nahla'oth or Yo"Sh (Judea & Samaria), followed the paraders, calmly explaining in Hebrew to the on-lookers the truth nature of the parade. Another young man, possibly from Nahla'oth, walked in front of the parade, singing along to the tune, yet cleverly changed the words to the Hebrew for "Here come the christian missionaries. Be careful and stay away from them." Haredim generally appeared to go about their business, yet also did not hesitate to show support for the various anti-missionary statements. Their interventions were probably too subtle for me to detect. A few may also have been quietly explaining the ultimate goals of the parade participants. A yellow-pinned, Habadniq was also warning people, acknowledging me and my actions with a nod.

Several shuq-goers were shocked by the hutzpah of the relatively straight-forward literature, and followed my example by ripping it up. Whatever actions are to be taken, I find it important, t the very least, to point out that these individuals are missionaries, and that they mean business. As an English-speaker, I am more likely to catch the key phrases in the words of their songs or literature. As an immigrant from the U. S., I [along with other Americans reading] tend to have more experience in recognizing missionaries than native-born Israelis.

I'll let you learn for yourselves what we, as Jews, are ideally supposed to do in such a situation, from the Ramba"m's Hil. Avodah Zarah weHuqoth HaGoyim, chap. 7, politically-incorrect, far from subtle, but true.

Criticize my actions if you will. (I have already gotten plenty of "feedback," as you can imagine.) But, at least I didn't take another approach, like some Jews do: Deny that they're a threat, and kiss their...

...wallets.

On Yom HaSho'ah...You're Not Gonna Like it....

28 of the First Month 5767

There is no question in my mind that we must keep alive the memory of the torture and murder of Jews at the hands of the Nazis YSh"W.

But, what's the point if we continue to pretend that the Nazis were the only criminals?

And, what's the point if we do almost nothing to prevent the Holocausts currently in progress?


1. Non-Jewish Collaborators

What about the International Red Cross which "inspected" the Terezstaat concentration camp, while Jews were being tortured and murdered elsewhere in Europe.

We let them get away with it, so now they're doing more of the same, if not worse, by aiding and abetting our enemies.

What of the catholic church?  Powerless to do anything?  Yeah, right!  Pope Pius XII YSh"W's silence regarding the extermination of Jews during the War was deafening.  And what those righteous followers of this same church who, after World War II, refused to give up those Jewish children they so gallantly "rescued" by hiding them?

I remember hearing the story of a Jewish member of the French Underground, who was relocated to England.  She volunteered to go back to France to gather such "rescued" children, and return them to relatives or other Jewish homes.  She succeeded in bringing back 50 or so, yet still couldn't forgive herself for failing to bring back one young girl on her list.

She knew the value of a Jewish soul.  Goyim, for the most, treated us like chattel, including those in the almighty US, who were guilty of nothing less than second degree murder [in some states], by their refusal to allow fleeing Jews onto American soil, turning them back to take their chances on the high seas, or even back in Europe.

Sure, there were righteous gentiles, and sure they deserve our reverence.  But, the truth is, that there just weren't THAT many of them to warrant the incessant, codependent, "Thank you, thank you!  Please like and accept us!" we slobber over non-Jews on a regular basis.

Oh, and don't worry, I haven't forgotten that Jews are not absent of guilt, those having the hutzpah to call themselves Jews anyway.  Mainly, I call to mind the leaders of the so-called Reform Jewish Movement in the US, who discouraged the lifting of even ones little finger to help their fellow Jews.  

Where was its "social action committee" then?  Well, I'll tell you where some of those like-minded individuals are now,...aiding and abetting the enemies of the Jewish People.  Just last week, Jewish leftists worked together with Yishma'elim to uproot grapevines planted by Jews.  On Tu b'Shvat, the Jewish New Year of the Trees, the same team worked together to prevent Jews from even planting trees.

Ever heard of the book Perfidy by Ben Hecht z"l?  It reports on the failure to rescue religious, Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust, and the roles various Jewish leaders played in this not so accidental failure.


2. Assisted Suicide

And, no, I don't mean of the medical variety. I mean the variety where Jews allow Yishma'elite (Arab) terrorists to continue to kill us,...and all for the sake of "peace." For goodness sakes! What peace?!

So-called "Jewish" leaders in Israel continue to sell Jewish live down the proverbial river, while Jewish leaders outside of Israel encourage them to do so,...all the while inviting each other to various Holocaust memorial events and dedications.

Jews continue to repeat their same, failed strategies to achieve "peace," expecting that "this time it will work out differently somehow."  Yet, it NEVER does.

The list of events in this compulsive repetition of history is long to long to include here.  I will list only a few here: the Oslo Accords, release of Yishma'elite prisoners, arming the so-called Palestinian police force, and we have not even begun to feel the brunt of the traitorous relinquishing of the Azza and Northern Shomron towns.  

Even now, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has met with PA Chairman, and Holocaust-denier, Mahmud Abbas in order to "negotiate."  How does one "negotiate" with someone whose introduction to his doctoral thesis covers "the secret ties between the Nazis and the Zionist movement leadership?"*



Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the next time you decide to meet with a Holocaust-denier, click the link above to remind yourself that a denier is nothing less than a perpetrator.

May the Holy One, Blessed Be He, have mercy on us and protect us.


3. Intermarriage: The Not-So Silent Holocaust

Some of the same big Jewish donors to huge Holocaust memorial museums...are married to non-Jews.

And, of course, the Erev Rav, pseudo-Jewish clergy is on the spot to validate their relationships, or to kasher them with pig fat, in other words, quasi-"convert" the non-Jewish spouse.  All it takes is a boink on the head with a magic wand.

This "clergy" makes up the Jewish collaborators in this particular Holocaust.

And, do you think that here in Israel we are immune?

Most immigrants from former Soviet republics to Israel are not Jewish. It has been reported to that some are event being actively recruited to come, while some real Jews are left out in the cold because they can't afford train fair to Kiev or Minsk to begin processing their applications. But, of course, those in the [non] Jewish Agency are simply there to implement the policies of the Israeli Foreign Ministry...just following orders....

More inter-marriage prospects....

Not too long ago, former Interior Minister Ophir Pines-Paz (Labor Party), was responsible for granting the children of foreign workers a special status, allowing many to reside here.

More inter-marriage prospects....

While another former Intertior Minister Avraham Poraz YSh"W (Shinu'i Party) blocked the immigration to Israel by converts and relatives of converts from India and Peru. Most of these immigrants are religious, many live/d in Yehudah, Shomron, & Azza (Judea, Samaria, & Gaza), and vote right-wing or right of center.

You don't suppose that the immigration policy of the Israeli government has anything to do with votes, do you?

Well, as politically-incorrect as it may sound, the fake Jewish conversions, and the importing of non-Jews into the country from various former Soviet republics, and for that matter, Thailand and the Philipines, cannot yet beat the birthrate of religious Jews in Israel.

But, how long will we be able to keep this birthrate up, until the next piece of legislation by the Israeli Government strikes another anti-Torah/anti-Jewish blow to the Israeli population?


Well, the good news is that there are a variety of organizations who are working to prevent this Holocaust:

Yad leAchim - rescues, and attempts to prevent inter-marriage between Arabs and Jews.

Young Israel - teaching Jews about what it means to be Jewish.

Orthodox Union of Hebrew Congregations - I'm generally NOT the OU's biggest fan, but in this regard, it IS doing something.

Victims Of Arab Terror - the name speaks for itself

There are many more helpful organizations including yeshivas, seminaries, and youth programs designed to remind Jews what their roles are on this earth, and to take pride in it.

The next time you have a change to donate a modest amount of money to help us remember what happened, and to whom, use your best judgment.

The next time you have a chance to donate money to build a gold plated house with a huge plaque with YOUR name on it, for goodness sakes, take that money and give it to someone who is trying to prevent a holocaust.
