Arutz 7: 'Deport US Consulate Staff Who Threatened Jews'
Samaria Regional Council Head demands response from Israeli Interior Ministry following clash between US consulate, Israelis.

Uzi Baruch and Tova Dvorin, January 3, 2015

Acting Head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, has filed a request to the Minister of the Interior Gilad Erdan demanding he immediately expel the American Consulate staff members who entered the Samaria village of Adei Ad Friday and threatened Israeli Jews with an M-16.

U. S. Consulate, Jerusalem

"As revealed through Wikileaks few years ago, these supposed 'officials' are intelligence agents and spies in every respect," said Dagan, adding "this time, they went too far and participated in a provocative tour with the Palestinians in the southern Samaria and north Binyamin, without any coordination as required with the IDF and police, and pulled out a firearm and threatened Israeli civilians."

"This is a crossing of all red lines," he continued. "This event could have descended easily into bloodshed and only as a result of the settlers' responsible behavior was [a scenario like that] prevented."

"I request that in view of the serious and criminal conduct, that these [US] security guards and officials be deported," he added.

"If Israeli intelligence officials and armed Israeli security guards stationed in one of the Israeli consulates in the United States had participated in a political provocation without any coordination with the police and threatened American citizens with weapons, at best, they would be arrested and deported, and the more likely case would be them spending several years in federal prison."

It is unclear exactly what prompted the incident at Adei Ad Friday, but reports say that several consulate officials arrived with armed guards at the community to investigate Palestinian Arabs' claims of vandalism of a nearby olive orchard.

An argument erupted between the convoy and the community's security guards, as all official visits to Jewish communities in Judea-Samaria must be coordinated with the IDF and police - a protocol the consulate allegedly ignored. At least one of the American guards allegedly pulled out his handgun and M-16 during the course of the argument.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
What' the heck is going on?!

A friend of mine who lives in Adei Ad, a Jewish stronghold near Shiloh, was not there during the incident, and so, had nothing to contribute regarding what actually had happened last week.

News sources besides Arutz 7 suggested that the U. S. officials were touring the area with Arabs, when rocks were thrown at them, which they claim caused light damage to their vehicle.

And then I guess that the U. S. officials were just "defending themselves," by brandishing their weapons.

And, where was their required coordination with the IDF? Non-existent.

Will the next step be that the Israeli Government will allow U. S. officials to take U. S. citizens into custody at will? Will it simply look the other way, and pretend that it cares?

Fortunately for me, I already renounced my U. S. citizenship last Passover. Still, that does not do much good in this regard, if the Israeli Government will allow a foreign government to threaten and otherwise harass its own citizens.

Is there any connection to future U. S. troops entering Israel?? I have been warning about this since 2005/תשע"ה.

Since one theory is that foreign troops would be used to expel Jews from their homes in Yehudah and the Shomron (Judea and Samaria), saving the Israeli Government time and resources, as well as the trauma which would be incurred by IDF soldiers, like during the Jewish expulsion from Azza (Gaza), not to mention the expected, drastic increase in resistence of IDF soldiers toward expelling their fellow Jews, it would not surprise me in the least if the claims above about spying were true.

May the Temple be Rebuilt, Speedily in our Days

Times Of Israel: Please G-d, Help me to understand why we must pray for a Third Temple!

Shmuly Yanklowitz, January 2, 2015

Hashem,

I am so grateful to speak and commune with You three times a day, but I have never written directly to You before. Who am I to do so? Please forgive my boldness in an attempt to achieve ethical and spiritual integrity. I believe that you have created us to think critically and to bring full integrity to our religious lives.

I fasted today (10 Teveth - "The Fast of the Tenth Month"), as I do on all fasts that mourn the destruction of Your two holy temples. I recognize that Your light existed in the world in magisterially mysterious and powerful ways unknown to us today. We Jews, indeed all people of Your world, mourn these historical losses and yearn for Your increased presence and closeness.

I know that you challenge us to evolve and grow so that we can perfect ourselves and the world, which You have entrusted to us Your children. I am but a cog in a greater wheel. As a Jew, I continue to pray for a third temple as our traditional liturgy stipulates. But, in truth, my heart is not so certain.

Of course, if it is Your will to have a third Temple, I am prepared to serve, but I humbly submit this prayer asking: Is the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem what is best for us?

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
The answer to your question is simple, something to which even you yourself alluded. It is a misswath 'aseh (positive commandment) to build it.

In other words, God says so.

Here, the same Ramba"m (Maimonides) whom you mention, (and whom many attempt to use as a claim that living in Eretz Yisrael is not currently a misswah) states this very clearly.

משנה תורה, הלכות בית הבחירה א,א

א מצות עשה לעשות בית לה', מוכן להיות מקריבים בו הקרבנות, וחוגגין אליו שלוש פעמים בשנה--שנאמר "ועשו לי, מקדש" (שמות כה,ח); וכבר נתפרש בתורה משכן שעשה משה רבנו, והיה לפי שעה--שנאמר "כי לא באתם, עד עתה . . ." (דברים יב,ט).

Mishneh Torah, Laws of the Temple 1:1
It is a positive commandment to make a house for HaShem, prepared for the bringing of sacrifices, and celebrating to it three times a year -- as it is said, "Make for me a sanctuary [so that I may dwell among them]." (Ex. 25:8); and it has already been explained in the Torah, this is the Tabernacle which Moses our teacher made, and was according to the particular time [context], as it is said, "for you have not yet come [to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God gives to you]." (Deut. 12:9)

As to space vs. time, and their respective Holiness, not only does Har HaBayith (Temple Mount) have a particular Holiness, but so too do Jerusalem and Eretz Yisrael, albeit manifesting on different levels. I am sure that I do not have to cite the countless sources connecting Am Yisrael to these physical spaces.

Although you did cite individual rabbis, I am afraid that your overall argument is not really a halachic (Torah legal) one, but rather a feeling one. Sure, that is, of course, fine to express your feelings. But, your argument does not hold water according halakhah.

I would be very interested in hearing any halakhic argument you may have.

Halakhah is the guiding force for how Jews are to live in This World, and that includes the making of a a true Torah reality manifest as the reality fully in This World.

This all being said, the Beth HaMiqdash HaSh'lishi (Third Temple) will not only establish Jewish control over Har Bayith, but assist us in establishing full control over Eretz Yisra'el,...yes, and "physical space."

If the Torah is the truth, which I believe that you and I both believe, then the Land of Israel was given to Am Yisra'el by the Holy One, Blessed Be He, then Eretz Yisra'el was given to us, and to no other nation.

And, so by fulfilling the misswah of Yishuv Ha'Aretz (settling of the Land), supported by the fulfillment of the misswah to build the Miqdash, HaShem's name will be sanctified.

No longer will the nations be able to say that HaShem's People do not reside and control their own Land, putting doubt on The Almighty's Holy Torah. (See Eze. 36)

You are welcome to try and change HaShem's mind. However, I do not have to remind you that the Torah is enduring, and unchangeable, as it is said, "You will not add to it, nor will you subtract from it." (Deut. 13:1)

The City of Jerusalem's Christmas Embarrassment

ט' לחודש העשירי תשע"ה

Well, at least one member of the Jerusalem City Council had the courage to stand up, and make the following statement:

Arieh King

מדף פייסבוק של חבר מועצת עיריית ירושלים אריה קינג:
מה טרם אמרתי על ראש העיר של ירושלים? זכור לכם מתי העירייה חילקה חנוכיות לתושבי העיר היהודים? האם זכור לכם מתי העירייה חילקה את ארבעת המינים לתושבי העיר? לא ברור לי כיצד עמיתי למועצה מהסיעות החרדיות, נתנו יד לחלוקת העבודה זרה על ידי עובדי העירייה. זוכרים את כול הרבנים שתמכו בראש העיר ברקת בבחירות לראשות העיר? אני מאחל לרבנים שתמכו בברקת חג מולד שמח.

From Jerusalem City Councilman Arieh King's Facebook Page:

What have I not already said to the mayor of Jerusalem? Do you remember when the municipality distributed Hanukkah menorahs to its Jewish residents? Do you remember when the municipality distributed a lulav and etrog to its Jewish residents? It is not clear to me how my fellow councilmembers from the Haredi factions, have condoned the distribution of avodah zarah (foreign/forbidden worship) by city employees. Remember that all rabbis who supported Barkat mayoral election? I would like to wish those rabbis who supported Barakat a Merry Christmas (sarc.).

Here is the announcement on the City of Jerusalem's website:

עיריית ירושלים תחלק 100 עצי אשוח חינם לרגל חג המולד

מחלקת הגננות בעיריית ירושלים תחלק גם השנה 100 עצי אשוח בחינם לתושבי ירושלים הנוצרים החוגגים את חג המולד

חלוקת עצי האשוח תתקיים ביום שני 22/12/2014- ברחבת שער יפו החל מהשעה 9.00 עד השעה 12:00 ומותנת בהצגת ת"ז עדכנית עם כתובת מגורים בעיר העתיקה.

כבכל שנה יקיים ראש העיר ירושלים ניר ברקת טקס קבלת פנים לשנה החדשה לראשי העדות והדתות בירושלים. הטקס יתקיים ביום רביעי 28/01/15 באולם מועצת העיר ב-19:30.

עיריית ירושלים מברכת את תושביה הנוצרים בברכת חג מולד שמח.

The Jerusalem Municipality will distribute 100 free Christmas trees for Christmas

Nir Barakat

Jerusalem municipality horticultural department will also distribute 100 free Christmas trees this year to Christian residents of Jerusalem celebrating Christmas

Distribution of Christmas trees will be held on Monday December 22, 2014 at the Jaffa Gate, starting at 9:00 am until 12:00 noon, contingent upon presentation of a current identification card with an address in the Old City.

As in every year Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat will hold a welcoming ceremony for the new year for the heads of religions in Jerusalem. The ceremony will take place on Wednesday January 28, 2015 in the City Council Chambers at 7:30 pm.

The Municipality of Jerusalem would like to bless its Christian residents with Merry Christmas.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
I guess Mayor Barakat and the rest of the City Council couldn't take the hint from last year's damaged Christmas tree crop. Either that, or they simply weren't paying attention.

I am not sure that we can blame Mayor Barakat too much. After all, he doesn't know any better. He believes in "democracy" and "pluralism," not in Torah.

What are the Haredi factions' excuses? What are the excuses of other kippah-wearing, City Councilmembers?

I cannot think of any, save for money, votes, or gross distortions and rationalize compromises of the Torah.

Take your pick. They are all completely unacceptable.

Why Does the Israeli Goverment Continue to Put our Children at Risk?

ו׳ לחודש העשירי תשע״ה

By now, many you have already heard about last week's various attacks on Jews, using the particularly cruel weapon of Molotov Cocktails, or firebombs.

An 11-year-old girl had most all of her body covered in third degree burns, while her father also remains in serious condition from the resulting burns of the attack. The attackers appear to have been caught out, and are from the Arab town of Azoun, one of many towns receiving large amounts of "aid" from the European Union [EU].

Meanwhile a street in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Armon HaNetziv has been pounded by attacks from the adjacent Arab neighborhoods of Jabel Mukabbir and Abu-Tor.

Arutz 7: Firebomb Hurled at Residential Home in Jerusalem
Firebomb was thrown at private residence in Jerusalem neighborhood Armon HaNatziv Saturday night. No one injured, but balcony damaged. 

Cynthia Blank, December 28, 2014 

A firebomb was thrown Saturday night at an apartment balcony in southeast Jerusalem in what police are calling a terrorist attack.

Fire broke out on the balcony at the building located on Meir Nakar Street in the Armon HaNatziv (East Talpiot) neighborhood. It was extinguished quickly. No injuries were reported but the balcony itself was damaged.

Fire and Rescue Services arrived at the scene to limit the damage of the attack. Meanwhile police and Border Patrol officers began searching nearby in Jabel Mukaber, a predominantly Arab neighborhood, in an attempt to locate suspects.

Marcel Kornicher, one of the building's tenants, said that he and his wife were sitting in their living room when the incident occurred.

"My wife suddenly saw fire and we had no idea why," he told Ynet. "We heard a boom which was extremely frightening. We were in shock. The bomb did not penetrate the apartment, but if it had gotten into our house, it could have set the house on fire. We saw what kind of damage firebombs can do last week."

Kornicher added that stones had been thrown at their building multiple times from Jabel Mukaber. Two months ago, a firework was also thrown at the house.

Southeast Jerusalem

Meir Nakar Street is directly adjacent to the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood, which has been the scene of numerous stone throwing incidents and firebomb attacks.

Residents of Meir Nakar Street have suffered similar violent events for a long period of time, Jerusalem firefighting services stated, noting that this is not the first firebomb attack on apartment buildings in the area and in nearby Abu Tor. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Interestingly enough, the neighborhood of Armon HaNetziv lies within the 1949 Armstice Line (as if Israel should care). No one, not even the EU can complain come to the defense of "freedom fighters," battling an oppressive occupation by a foreign power (eyes rolling).

Residents of the Jabel Mukabbir neighborhood possess Israeli citizenship, and, unfortunately, have access to employment opportunities, equal to that of Jews. So these terrorists, like all such terrorists are not infiltrating the sections of Israel which are excepted by the entire "international community," save for the Arab nations. They do not have to infiltrate anything; they are already here!

You may have already heard about the Arab terror mentioned above. But what you may have missed was a report from only a month and a half ago, also concerning the Arabs of the Jabel Mukabbir neighborhood.

ערוץ 7: הורים מודאגים: ערבים מג'בל מוכבר יסיעו ילדים

רוב נהגי ההסעות של ילדי החינוך המיוחד בבירה, מתגוררים במזרח העיר. ההורים מודאגים.

ניר הר זהב, כ"ו בחשון תשע"ה, 19/11/14 

עיריית ירושלים התקשרה בחוזה עם חברת הסעות לילדי החינוך המיוחד בעיר. הנהגים שיסיעו את הילדים מתגוררים בשכונת ג'בל מוכבר במזרח העיר, ממנה יצאו לאחרונה כמה מחבלים שביצעו אירועי טרור.

סייעות ומלוות של ילדי החינוך המיוחד, שנוסעות עם הילדים מדי יום לגנים ובחזרה לבתיהם וכן הורים לילדים מיוחדים, פנו לחבר מועצת העיר אריה קינג והביעו חשש לחיי הילדים.

קינג פנה לראש מינהל החינוך בירושלים ולראש העיר ברקת, בבקשה לוודא שהנהגים שמסיעים ילדים במסגרת חוזה התקשרות עם העירייה, יעברו בדיקה קפדנית על מנת לוודא שאין להם עבר פלילי ולאומני וכן שאין להם קרובי משפחה שקשורים בדרך מסוימת למעגל הטרור.

קינג הזכיר כי ''המחבל שרצח את 8 התלמידים בישיבת מרכז הרב, הגיע לקרבת הישיבה ברכב ההסעות שלו, ואותו מחבל ימח שמו עבד בחברה שסיפקה שירותי הסעות למוסדות החינוך בעיר''.

Esser Agaroth (2¢) Translation:
Arutz 7: Parents are concerned: Arabs from Jabal Mukkaber will be transporting children
Most drivers transporting special education students in the capital live in East Jerusalem. Parents are concerned.

Nir Har Zahav, November 19, 2014

Arieh King
Jerusalem City
Councilman

Jerusalem Municipality entered into a contract with a transportation company for special education children in the city. Drivers who will transporting the children reside in the neighborhood of Jabal Mukkaber, in the eastern part of the city, from which a few terrorists have recently come who have carried out attacks.

These assistants and escorts of special education children, travel with the kids every day to kindergartens and back to their homes, and so parents of these children turned to Citycouncilman Arieh King and expressed concern over their children's lives.

King turned to the Jerusalem Education Authority and to Mayor Barkat, with a request to make sure that the drivers who transport children in the context of the agreement with the City, to come under scrutiny to ensure that they do not have a criminal record, are not [Arab] nationalists, nor who have any relatives involved in any way with terrorism.

King noted that '' the terrorist who killed eight students at Mercaz Harav Yeshiva, arrived in close proximity to the yeshiva in his transport vehicle, and the same terrorist, may his name be blotted out, worked for a company which provided transportation services to educational institutions in the city.''

The Israeli Government appears to be more worried about the impressions it makes in the eyes of the EU (and others on the outside), being careful not to be see ethically profiling, prospective employees, the same EU which funds terror.

Just like during last summer's conflict war with Hamas, Israel is expected to bend over backwards to please the Arabs, with or without Israeli identification cards, no matter the cost, even at the expense of our children's lives. And the Israeli Government seems to be going along with it.

"sheeple" = sheep + people

No matter how obvious is it that Esau (The West) despises us, we insist on repeating the same, insane, mistakes over again, expecting different results.

And we just keep going to the polls, and electing these people, over and over again.

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

ערב שבת קודש פר׳ ויגש תשע״ה

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

Shiryn Ghermezian, December 23, 2014

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Tip: Life In Israel)

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

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

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

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

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

The Globe And Mail, Canada

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

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

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

YNET: 6,000 Palestinians strike over 'daily humiliation' at crossing
Palestinian workers who use the crossing daily say construction to create pedestrian crossing is not progressing and making conditions worse.

Elior Levy, December 22, 2014

In a rare move, 6,000 Palestinian workers, who commute from the West Bank to Israel for work every day, decided to hold a strike on Sunday to protest the "daily humiliation" that they endure at the Ephraim Gate Crossing located west of the Palestinian city of Tulkarem in the West Bank.

Construction of a new pedestrian terminal on the Palestinian side of the crossing has worsened the conditions for Palestinians, who must use temporarily use a narrow passage in which thousands push and shove each other.



The construction of the new pedestrian passage which has harmed the flow of traffic at the crossing was initiated by the Palestinian Civil Administration.

The Palestinians who were behind the strike said that the construction was progressing too slowly and that their patience had run out.

"When I arrive at the crossing – as far as I'm concerned, I'm entering hell itself," said Sabri, a Palestinian worker from Tulkarem who has worked in Israel for several years.

"People cram into the narrow crossing like animals, they begin to push and pressure builds up and in many cases people get injured and end up being taken away to the hospital in Tulkarem by ambulance," Sabi continued.

According to Sabi, the lack of manpower often slows down the process and creates congestion even after the Palestinian workers finish crossing the narrow pedestrian crossing.

"There are 16 stands for biometric testing. In many cases, there are only four or five stands in operation and all the rest are closed," said Sabi, who admitted that inefficiency at the crossing can also be attested to the Palestinian side of the crossing not being well-organized. Sabi said that the Palestinian Authority does not send in individuals to monitor the entry to the crossing in order to prevent congestion and disorganization.

However, the Palestinian workers also said that some days they experience unreceptive and degrading treatment by the workers at the crossing.

"There are times when they treat us without a drop of respect," said Azam, one of the Palestinian workers who uses the crossing. "Sometimes there are female workers at the biometric stand who stand and talk to each other, laugh and ignore us completely – and we have to wait for them to finish talking. If someone says they are late or asks for them to check him they say, 'Shut your mouth.' I know that whenever I am at the crossing – we have no self-respect."

The worsening conditions at the checkpoint during the ongoing construction led a group of Palestinian workers to conduct a spontaneous strike on Sunday. "The news traveled by word of mouth and reached everyone. I did not see one person oppose it. We turned around and went home," said one Palestinian individual who joined the strike.

"Everyone said that although the strike was unplanned, many had discussed such a move for a while," said the Palestinian worker.

Right after the decision was made, the workers representatives met with officials of the Palestinian Civilian Administration in Tulkarem in order to lay out their case. During the meeting, the officials convinced the workers to end the strike and promised to work wither their counterparts to improve the conditions.

"We'll return to work," said the workers, "but if we see that the pace of the construction is not accelerated – we will strike once a week and will not arrive to work in Israel."

The manager of the civil administration within the Israeli Defense Ministry said in a response to the matter: "The establishment of the terminal was designed to improve the service given to Palestinian workers who pass through it daily to work in Israel. We are aware of the temporary discomfort caused by the construction underway and are scheduled to end in the next two months."

As for the complaints about the dismissive attitude of the workers at the crossing the authority said it has invested time and resources in manpower and technology that ensure a high level of security as well as a high level of service. They also said that the claims made by the Palestinian workers will be examined in depth and treated accordingly.


Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Blah, blah, blah,...

The "Pseudostinian" Arabs should be grateful that the Israeli Government is full of suckers, allowing those whose government is intent on annihilating us to continue to cross through a check point to work for Israeli employers.

I reported on the defacto border crossings almost eight years ago. Yet, for the most part, we Israelis have really been that naive to believe our politicians, when they claim that they are not really border crossings, being set up for any final status agreement with the "Pseudostinians."

Yeah, right! Ask the expelled residents of Azza (Gaza/Gush Qatif) about that!

The Israeli Government is not only full of suckers, but also horribly co-dependent on how the rest of the world sees us.

It doesn't matter. No matter what we do, even fall over and die, they will still hate us anyway.

During last summer's conflict war with Hamas in Azza, the "international community" expected us to sacrifice the safety of our own children, in order to avoid killing the women, children, and disabled Arabs being used by Hamas as human shields.

So, it is no surprise that the Arabs currently residing in Yehudah, the Shomron, and Azza should expect to have the same "international community" on their side now. After all, they are not even shooting rockets at us (for now). They just want us to employ,and thus feed, house, and otherwise maintain, potential infiltrators. No big deal, right?

Where's Israel on the map?

The Arabs do not just want another independent, terrorist state. They want us to continue allowing them to cross imaginary border crossings, and without even being searched for bombs and other weapons, in the process!

The Arabs want all of Israel, and are willing to try any strategy, in order to get it.

Time for us to stop helping them to help us commit suicide, don't you think?

Haredi Conundrum: Superbus Begins Operating on Shabbos

זאת חנוכה תשע"ה

Life In Israel: Superbus to start operating bus lines on Shabbos
December 22, 2014

I don't quite understand how this works, but News1 is reporting that the Ministry of Transportation has approved Superbus to operate some bus lines on Shabbos.

This Shabbos will be the first time since Superbus began operating bus lines in 2002 that it will be operating lines on Shabbos.

Especially unusual about this is that much of Superbus's existing operations are in areas with Haredi populations.

This is unusual because we all know how the Haredi community takes to chilul shabbos, and breaking of the status quo, and reacts by boycotting even the non-chillul shabbos parts of such companies (like AM:PM and Shefa Shuk).

The affected lines are in the cities of Afula, Kiryat Tivon, Yokneam and Haifa. The lines operating on Shabbos will be in areas that did not previously have public transportation on Shabbos, and even going into areas with religious populations, so this is a big change in policy. Personally it makes me wonder why they approve these new lines but have refused to approve such lines on Shabbos in very secular areas like parts of Tel Aviv that have been working for years to get public transportation on Shabbos.

I wait to see how the Haredi community will react, and if they will boycott Superbus in other areas, such as Bet Shemesh, as a result. It is a tough boycott to create, considering how reliant the community is on public transportation, but I cannot see this passing quietly.

Esser Agaroth (2¢):

Superbus Service Map
(green)

Could it be that elements of MK Elazar Stern's proposed "Shabbos Law" is being implemented anyway, through the back door?

It would not surprise me. Either the Erev Rav, anti-Torah government is sneaking something through which it wants to happen anyway. Or, this is simply an experiment to see to what happens when they implement its sneakiness. That way, if there is any protest or other resistance, it can study how to improve its sneakiness.

Like Life In Israel, I too, look forward to seeing the Haredi community's reaction, not to mention the reaction of those residents of Beth Shemesh, dependent on Superbus for transportation.

Will there be protests? Will the protests accomplish anything? Or will some justification be produced for the continued patronage of Superbus?

Meanwhile, do not expect too much, if any, protest from the Mamlakhti (diehard State loyalist) religious community. Hillul Shabbath seems to be OK for this brain dead segment of society, as long as the State puts its stamp of approval on it.

Over 2,100 years after the events, leading to the first celebration of Hanukkah, we are still up against a strong Hellenist presence.

Surprised?

Har Nof Jerusalem Beheadings, an Attempted Cover-Up?

י״ח לחודש התשיעי תשע״ה

On December 2, the following statement was released:

RABBI DAVID BAR-HAYIM CONDEMNS "HAR NOF GATE" 

Machon Shilo's Rabbi David Bar-Hayim has requested to publicize his condemnation of the government's deliberately covering up the fact that the Arab terrorists who perpetrated the Har Nof massacre decapitated two of the victims, HASHEM yikom damam. Rabbi Bar-Hayim has expressed outrage that the government and media have joined forces in preventing Jews from knowing the grisly nature of these barbaric murders in order to preserve "industrial quiet." 

The following article on Arutz 7 makes reference to the decapitation of two of the victims of the Har Nof massacre:

Hezki Ezra, Ari Yashar, November 27, 2014

"They heard the shots from outside and they stopped here. Zidan's shots confused them and they stopped here, they could have continued. ...They (the victims - ed.) were praying, no one had a weapon. At a certain point they realized they couldn't continue, the two of them went out of the door quickly towards the stairs," continued the witness.

Relating the moment when Seif was murdered, the witness added "Zidan was behind the wall there, Zidan hit him, but he (the terrorist) while continuing coming down the stairs managed to shoot another bullet."

Seif's father responded "it's hard, we can't do anything that's our fate. We can just hope that Israel will only have happy occasions and not sorrow."

When told how the terrorists cut off the heads of two Jews at prayer, the father responded "they have no G-d. In a holy place like this, they come in, these are people with no values, these are not good people." (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
The following video is of Machon Shilo Head, Rabbi David Bar-Hayim, elaborating on the issue.


Was there an attempted cover up? If so, why?

To keep us numbed out, in denial, and under control?

If Ethiopians can do it, Then why can't Americans?

If these Jews with nothing can make alyiah with out nothing, why can't Jews in western countries make alyiah with all their posessions? It will get to the point when Jews in western countries lose all their posessions for them to decide when to come. By then it may be to late.

I could not have said it any better than Chaim.

However, I would like to elaborate on this a little.

We should not forget the treatment the Ethiopians received upon arriving, in contrast to those immigrating from the former Soviet Union, now estimated to be anywhere from 60 to 70 percent goyim gamurim (non-Jews).

The Ethiopians have also had to struggle to differentiate themselves from those Ethiopians who have no connection to being Jewish whatsoever, and in many cases are believing Christians, who have been allowed to immigrate to Israel anyway.

In addition, this community was hurt greatly by the mixing in from one of the so-called liberal "Jewish Movements. At the tail end of Operation Moses, "volunteers" from North America were instrumental in convincing some of the Ethiopians, that they did not need to undergo conversion. Operation Moses took place in 1984, seven years before Operation Solomon, recounted in the video.

This is just one piece of more evidence at how spiritually challenging it must be for Westerners, particularly North Americans to pick up and leave the exile.

If they wait too long, they risk getting the proverbial kick in the pants like their European brothers and sisters, and those who came from from Arab countries, before them.

Proposed Pro-Marxist Legislation in Israel: Surprised?

Arutz 7: State Moves to Replace Parents as Children's Guardian
A new bill indicates justice ministry is adopting a neo-Marxist approach to parenting, seeking to annul parental custodianship.

Gil Ronen, December 9, 2014

A bill recently proposed by the justice ministry indicates that it is seeking to take away parents' custodianship of children in Israel. Tzipi Livni's removal from office and the dissolution of the Knesset have temporarily halted the move, which reflects a neo-Marxist approach to the family, in which the state takes over from parents as the ultimate guardian and custodian of children.

The government-sponsored bill, named “Parents and Their Children,” cancels the concept of natural parental guardianship over children. Its explanatory notes say that it aims “to assimilate a new normative perception... in the matters between parents and their minor children.”

It replaces the terms “custody” and “guardianship” with “parental responsibility,” leaving parents responsible for their children but stripping them of the authority that goes along with that responsibility. (cont.)

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Is anyone surprised by this? I mean, seriously?

The only thing which surprises me, is how impatient the Erev Rav appears to be in its battle against the Torah. Only recently, it proposed a "Shabbos Law," which only serves to chip away at Shabbath obervance. And now this.

You know what they say...

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Then, beat 'em, by destroying them from within.

Usually, when parents do not cooperate with the Israeli Government in its indoctrination of our children, they are threatened with taking them away, using the State's social workers as its front line soldiers in this particular battle. If this law passes, they will not have to threaten to take our children away, because they will have already done so!

Not only that, but I anticipate that this proposal will even be sold to the Israeli public as "Israeli," as it has similarities to how parenting in Kibbutzim (Israeli communal farms) was once manifested.

I have not red the legislation myself. However, I believe that the following case scenario is a possible eventual goal of certain elements in the government, albeit most of you will either believe this to be farfetched, if not insane.

No visits from social workers or police. No phone calls. No warnings whatsoever. No Just come in the middle of the night, and take them away, without any obligation to inform you of their whereabouts or condition.

The only difference between previous "disappearances" of our children, like the Yemenite babies of the 1950's, is that now such "disappearances" would be legal.

Apparently, the previous strategy of threats was not working well enough, nor quickly enough, for them.

In a sense, this is good news. They are running scared. Too many Jews have been waking up to the setiroth (conflicts) between the State of Israel and the Torah, for their taste.

Too many Jews have been recognizing that the Torah is the higher authority.

Too many Jews have decided that they are mad as hell, and not going to take it anymore.

Unfortunately, there are not a whole of things more dangerous than a wounded animals, so we need to keep on guard.

“to assimilate a new normative perception... in the matters between parents and their minor children.”

Translation? To assimilate our children into the well-behaved, numbed-out, non-independent thinking collective of Western, anti-Torah culture,...period.
