The Cycle Of Abuse II: The PeSh"A Council, the Israeli right wing, & Us

21 of the Ninth Month 5766

A7: The Victims Of Abuse


On 20 Kislew 5766, Yehudah Poch wrote on A7 in his "The Victims Of Abuse:"

"Until the Judea, Samaria and Gaza Council is prepared to begin acting in the long-term interests of the population it claims to represent, they will continue to play the neglectful parent role, as the government plays the abusive parent role. And the children of this abusive marriage - the residents of Judea and Samaria and the rest of the Israeli right-wing - will continue to suffer emotionally and physically at the polls."

I say that it's better to rewrite it like this:

Until the residents of Judea and Samaria realize that its PeSh"A Council will NEVER act in their interests short- or long-term, they will continue to repeat the cycle of the "victim having delusional hopes that its neglectful & passive-aggressive (PeSh"A Council) parent & abusive step-parent (Israeli right wing) will change. The residents of Ye"Sh require serious therapy (placing Torah before this government's non-Torah). Codependently hoping for their "parents" to heal is nothing less than self distructive.

Lacking any child abuse hotline, we must find a new parent: God. But, he's not actually new; he's been there along.

Dogs, Vomit, & Netanyahu

18 of the Ninth Month 5766

Likud Party

Aryeh Zelasko eloquently wrote in response to the following A7 piece:

"Actually this is more in the realm of a dog returning to his vomit but each to his own analogies. I wonder what high level jobs these two will be getting in the near future?"

A7 Report


Feiglin Responds to Yesha Endorsement of Netanyahu
Sunday, December 18, 2005 / 17 Kislev 5766


Likud Manhigut Yehudit Jewish Leadership faction head Moshe Feiglin compared the Yesha Council endorsement of Binyamin Netanyahu to a "battered woman returning to her abusive husband."

Feiglin stated that the decision by veteran Yesha leaders Bentzi Lieberman and Pinchas Wallerstein to back Netanyahu is testimony to their achievements in their battle to preserve the communities in Gaza and northern Samaria. Feiglin added that Netanyahu is well-aware that he will be able to carry out the next expulsion, resting assured he will have the backing of the settlement council.


My comments:

What a minute! Wasn't it the YeSh"A Council who brought down Netanyahu back in 1998?

Specificly, I recall that "residents of Ofra" had been involved, and maybe even took a little pride in it.

Included in the list of prominent residents of Ofra, Wallerstein, Uri Elitzur (He's OK, as far as I know), Hayim Falk (the not at all famous #9 on the Mafda"L list), Rav Avi "Don't Pick Arab olives [even though Rav Eliyahu says it's OK, and other rabbanim say there's no such thing as Arab olives]" Gisser (member of the infamous Dovrat Education Comm.). Less prominent residents of Ofra include the Lt. Ravsha"tz Gabbi Biton who turned into the police three teen-aged girls for allegedly letting the air out of the tires of an Arab car or two. He then took time out of his day to go to the police stn. to fill out forms and provide testimony. If he HAD to do something, why not just call their parents? And where were these cars? The mini Arab (white and green tag) workers parking lot just outside the entrance to the yishuv, and next his wife's restaurant. (Many Arabs enter the yishuv every morning to work.) His wife openly does business with these animals, and even rides around with them in their cars.

Well, that's Ofra, for you. And from my experience, Ofra is not alone in its mamlachti ideas. It has many other yishuvim in its camp of misguided idiocy and self-destruction.

But, I digress... With so-called "religious, Zionist" Jews like these, the Arabs and leftists do not even have to break a sweat to do their evil!

Anyway does this ring all ring a bell? This sure supports the above statement about returning to ones vomit.

Regarding "high-level" jobs, what DID ever happen to Mor-Yosef, also from Ofra? You know the former PeSh"A Council member who removed his beard because he didn't want to look like a "fanati." Did he ever get that job with the Foreign Ministry in exchange for securing that Ofra will never be dismantled? Guess again Mr. Mor-Yosef.

Well, at least the good news is that as usual the YeSh"A Rabbanate has its priorities arranged more appropriately than the PeSh"A Council, placing Torah before all else, including avodah zarah, fascism, and idiocy.

I would hope that we can expect nothing less from our rabbis.

Well, I guess I'd better go out and do my duty as a registered member of the Likud, and vote.

Gee....Whose advice should I follow? The advice of Amei HaAretz or some of the decreasing number of decent Rabbanim in this country?

See its point of view below.

A7 Report


Yesha Rabbinic Council Calls on Likud Voters to Choose Feiglin
22:33 Dec 18, '05 / 17 Kislev 5766


Although the Yesha Council has called on the public to vote for Binyamin Netanyahu, the head of the Rabbinic Council of Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza) has issued an endorsement for Moshe Feiglin.

This is not the first time that Yesha' rabbinic leadership has come out on the opposite side of an issue from the government salaried lay-leaders.

Rabbi Dov Lior, who heads the council, called Sunday night for Likud voters to choose the candidate, "who is faithful to the values of the Nation of Israel and who will strengthen the Jewish identity of the State, who fought the whole way against the cursed Oslo process and against the destruction of Gush Katif and northern Samaria and in the end truth will overcome."

A Boy, His Mom, Her Political Party, & The Universe

7 of the Ninth Month 5766

In Batya Medad's It Feels Like a Death in the Family, she's writes of her disappointment in Tzahi HaNegbi through a trip down memory lane...

Here is my response:

Techiyah?

Oh Please! "Let's keep the land, but not kick out the Arabs."

Please correct me if I got that part wrong.

What kind of idiocy is that? Even many Leftists were not in denial about Israel's euphemistically labeled "demographic problem." They did things to egg it on, of course, but they were no longer in denial about it.

Regarding Ge'ulah Cohen, let us not forget that she was,...let's just say, "highly instrumental" in having Rav Kahane's ZTz"L HY"D Ka"Kh Party outlawed. She and all of the other religious and nonreligious Mamlachtim are guilty of nothing less than mesirah and kefirah. They sold a kosher Jew and Talmid Hacham down the river, denied and continue to deny some fundamental Torah principles, and as a result -- well look at us, as a country, as a people. Need I say more?

...Gee, what was the name of her assistant who actually drafted the legislation? His name currently eludes me, but I know I'll think of it one of these days....

"Lo nishkah welo nislah....",

You're right, Batya. Tzahi HaNegbi is no longer ideologically motivated. He's only thinking of himself.

Leave The Turkeys Behind!

20 of the Eighth Month 5766
Print this out and given to your kids [or spouses] to color so they don't bother you in the kitchen!

Also, please don't forget two things: 1) Make sure to cook your turkey stuffing separately, then stuff it afterwards. This way you won't risk under-cooking parts of your turkey and put your family at risk for food poisoning (God forbid!). 2) To my brothers and sister in the galuth (diasporah), physically and spiritually, please take at least the effort you're taking now, to prepare for Thanksgiving, to prepare for the Rosh HaShannah, Sukkoth, Pesah, and Shavu'oth holidays,...and eventually every Shabbath. 3) If you don't know what one, or any, of the above are, please do not be embarrassed. Make a commitment to yourself to call up your local Orthodox* rabbi and ask. Don't feel connected with him? That's OK. Call another one!

Thanksgiving is nice, and certainly one of the least offensive U. S. holidays,...IMHO. But, don't forget...you're Jewish! You're heritage and traditions, at the very least, deserve more regard, time, and effort than American holidays!

For my brothers and sisters who are not familiar with American holidays,...and slang, feel free to e-mail me for the double-meaning punchline of the caption above.

************************************************

*The term "Orthodox" is used for clarity. In the U. S. Jewish concepts can be very confusing, especially due to those who distort, or even reject, Torah sheb'al peh (Oral Torah), a crucial segment of our rich tradition, without which, it is impossible to comprehend fully the Torah as a whole. Many of these people refer to themselves as "rabbis," thus it is important to distiguish rabbis, those who observe and teach the Torah, from these other people.

Hints of the Next Expulsion..." May God Forbid!...

Erev Shabbath Qodesh Parshath Wa'Yira 5766

Not too long ago, U. S. Secretary of State Conadaleezza Rice YSh"W expressed her vision for more expulsions of Jews from areas of Eress Yisrael,...including from the Jordan Valley (See below, Regarding Concessions For Peace, 17 Tishrei).

PM Sharon YSh"W has stated that he does not consider giving up the Jordan Valley as an option.

By now we should all know the worth of Sharon's words: Zero, Zilch, Nada, Klum....

Even former Israeli PM Ehud Baraq's proposal for giving up much of Judea and Samaria held onto at least part of the Jordan Valley. Baraq, a military man, albeit a leftist one, even knew the danger of allowing the Yishma'elim (Arabs) within Israel [some refer to with the misnomer "palestinian"] to share any border with Jordan.

Yet, read the recent report by Arutz 7 below. Is this unchecked Yisma'elite activity a hint of the next stage of expulsion of Jews from our Land? May God forbid!

Israeli citizens, please contact MK's regarding this most obvious next step.

U. S. citizens may find their U. S. Reps. and Senators to ldge their protestes at www.house.gov and www.senate.gov respectively.

U. S. Secretary of State Rice may be contacted through the www.state.gov website. Please include complaints regarding her recent, unfortunately succcessful, push for Israel to relinquish control over the border between Gaza and Egypt.


Arutz 7: Arabs Taking over Jordan Valley
Arabs Taking over Jordan Valley
23:39 Nov 17, '05 / 15 Heshwan 5766

(IsraelNN.com) The government has allowed Arabs to take over thousands of acres in the Jordan Valley, according to charges made by Jordan Valley Regional Council leader Dovi Tal. He said Civil Lands Administration officials have ignored Arab confiscation of lands while demanding lease money from Jews who farm government land.

"Two and a half years ago, the IDF abandoned several camps, and there was an agreement with the defense and agriculture ministers that we could use the land for farming," Tal explained. "Nothing happened because the Lands Administration wanted lease money...but the Arabs have no problem in taking over the land" without any government interference.

Shimshon Cytryn Has Finally Been Freed!

Leil 14 of the Eighth Month 5766

Shimshon Cytryn

Finally! Shimshon Cytryn has been released into the custody of a rabbi until his trial on the trumped up charges of attempted murder. The totalitarian government had planned to hold him over in prison until trial, which could take several months.

According to Shimshon's parents, he will be under the supervision of the head of an academic yeshiva until trial.

As Jews accused of greater crimes have been released to house arrest, and Yishma'eli (Arab) terrorists have been released outright to acquire more Jewish blood on their hands (lehavdil),...it's about time!

Response to an ADL Staff Member's Request

Leil 14 of the Eighth Month 5766

No To the ADL!

Dear Anonymous ADL Staff Member,

You wrote:

"Please remove my name from your mailing list."

I will be more than happy to remove you from my mailing list. However, I cannot take responsibility for the automated e-forwarding and e-distributing set up by some ADL branches.

I will continue to e-mail the ADL.

The "Write-A-Letter, Make-It-Better" and "Educate the Goyim to like us and valid our existence" ADL *must* be kept aware of pressing issues in Israel.

If different ADL branches want to numb-out and remain in denial (I'm *not* referring to you, as you did not state the reasons for wanting to be removed from my list.) regarding certain basic Torah precepts such as "Yishma'el is a pere adam" (a wild-animal man) and "Esau sone eth Ya'aqov" (From Haza"l: "Esau [Rome] hates Ya'aqov [Israel]") then they will have to make the effort to block my e-mail address or set up a filter to send it directly to the trash folder.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. "Land For Peace" not only doesn't work, it is forbidden under Torah Law,...the contradictory opinions of "rabbis" who compromise Torah principles in order to scrounge money for their communities not withstanding.

Please note that this e-mail will be CC'd to other ADL e-mail addresses, after I have removed your name and any other identifying information.

The "Red Diamond:" Israel Should Say "NO"

Leil 8 of the Eighth Month 5766

סמל מגן דוד אדום נמחק
Red Magen David Adom (Red Shield of David) symbol getting erased.

On Nov 10, 2005 12:25 am (Israel Standard Time), someone wrote:

A recent proposal would adopt a Red Diamond as an additional symbol to the red cross and red crescent - allowing Magen David Edom "Full entry" - THIS IS A JOKE the other symbols are NOT GOING TO BE REPLACED-only the JEWISH STAR is being ruled unacceptable

This proposal begs the question: Why do Jews still care about what the goyim think? Why must we continue to seek their validation of our existence and place in the Universe?

You are correct. Israel should say no...to the red diamond. But Israel should also say "no" to the Red Cross and to the Red Crescent.

Hmm...no, let me correct that. Israel should tell them both where to get off.

The Red Cross knew damn well what was happening to Jews HY"D at the hands of the Nazis YSh"W. But instead of doing anything about it, they used a Nazi-approved visit to the Terezanshtat "Model Artist Colony" (Read: "Concentration Camp") to justify their denial that anyting out of the ordinary was going on in the then relatively "Arab-free" Europe. Clueless to the messages of Nazi atrocities embedded in the Terezanshtat Jews' artwork, the Red Cross did nothing to help save Jews from being slaughtered in the Holocaust.

The Red Crescent? The story of the Red Crescent is shorter than that of the Red Cross. The Red Crescent ambulances have been smuggling bomb making materials and other munitions from Arab controled into Jewish controled areas of Israel in order to perpetrate attacks against Jews. The so-called "international community" decries the lack of humanitarian consideration on the part of the Israeli Defense Forces for their searches of Red Crescent ambulances. In other words, how dare we Jews attempt to prevent ourselves from being shot or blown up...by weaponry smuggled in by the Red Crescent.

I will not even get into the blatant marginalization of the Red Cross/Red Crescent by disallowing Jews from determining our own symbols for our own organizations.

Who cares? Worried about Jews not being provided necessary services in their countries of residence by those governments or by those other organizations? Then help to bring those of us still stuck out there, both physically and spiritually, to get out of those dangerous places, and to come to Israel.

Shimshon Cytryn

Erev Rosh Hodesh of the Eighth Month 5766

Shimshon Cytryn


Shimshon Cytryn still sits in jail on trumped up charges, even though eye witness testimony has suggested he did not even do what he was accused of doing -- throwing rocks at a Yishma'eli (Arab).

Shimshon Cytryn stands accused of attempted murder. Unbelieveable!

Even if he was throwing rocks, [the leftist] Channel One news has clear film footage that the "wounded" Yishma'eli instigated the incident. Thus, Shimshon would only have been involved in an act of self-defense.

As his mother says below, it's all politically motivated.

How many Arab terrorists have been released AND repeated their crimes against Jews, like in Be'er Sheva (lehavdil)? Many.

How many non-religious Israelis accused of murder are released on house arrest until the trial?

Yet, Shimshon Cytryn sits in jail for two reasons: 1) his ideology and 2) that his ideology and way of life include following the Torah.

Regarding Concessions For Peace

17 of the Seventh Month (Hol HaMo'ed Sukkoth) 5766


Setting aside for the moment that I believe strongly that there should not be any concessions on the part of Israel, and that Arabs and goyim in general (with a few possible exceptions...maybe) must vacant the Land of Israel,...


...I believe we have support for the notion that nothing is "safe," not with Ariel Sharon YSh"W in power, nor anyone else in the current limelight, for that matter.


Although Sharon YSh"W has denied that the "security fence" will eventually serve as a defacto border, it looks more and more that he is moving in that direction. Those people (including many Jews from English-speaking countries, as it happens) living the "block" of Jewish towns known as Gush Etzion (south of Jerusalem near Beth-Lehem like Efrat, Newe Daniel, Elazar, Bat-Ayin, Alon Shvuth, Kfar Etzion, etc.) have always belived that they are "safe" from being expelled from their homes, and that the fate of the Jews in Gaza will never be their fate. They have been told this often enough by the Israeli government. Recently, it was announced that Sharon's fence will not encompass all of Gush Etzion, but rather go through it. With only some exceptions, including the residents of Bat-Ayin, many of these Jews are what we consider to be "Mamlachtim," Jews concerned that shouldn't be any disagreement between the Torah and this [evil] government, thus often make compromises with Torah. Relief from their cognitive dissonance overpowers the absence of hallachic (Jewish legal) logic which their rabbis employ. These have become complacent. Their complacency will be their downfall (may God forbid), if they do not wake up, not only to reality, but to Torah, which for a Jew are one and the same.


Similar discrepencies in the fence's route exist in the Shomron (north from Beth-El through Shchem and Ganim). Sharon is now talking about strengthing the Golan and the Jordan Valley.


But, U. S. Secretary of State Rice YSh"W has already been talking about the Jordan Valley as one such "concession."


What if the Syrian regime turns around over night, like some are predicting Asad YSh"W will do out of fear, comparing his potential future overtures to the US like those of Qadafi YSh"W.


Will Israel then be force to make a "friendship" gesture to the "new" Syria?


And what are the major Jewish organizations outside of Israel doing? They are certainly not helping,...not helping Jews that is. With the possible exception of the Zionist Organization of America [ZOA], they are helping the Yishma'elim (Arabs), unintentionally for the most part.


Nothing is "safe," not our Land, our lives, nor our neshamoth (souls), not until we Jews take responsibility for ourselves and stop relying upon and worrying about the goyim.


Let us rely only upon the Almighty, and be guided only by his Torah, has handed down to us by our Hachamim (Sages), and not distorted by so-called "liberal" Jewish leaders who distort the Torah, and interpret it according to how they feel, and then mix and match misinterpreted Hallachic sources after the fact, in order to support the dissemination of their lies to the numbed-out, self-hating, Jewish masses, (may they turn to the Almighty and his Torah and be guided).
