"המהפכה האמריקאית התרחשה 'בתודעתם ובליבם של האנשים' - 'שינוי רדיקלי בעקרונות, בדעות, ברגשות ובחיבתם של האנשים', כתב, 'הייתה המהפכה האמריקאית האמיתית'." 


Christopher Flannery, a Senior Fellow of the Claremont Institute  touches on the the very core that led to the American Revolution. 

He quotes John Adams.

How to Think About the American Revolution 


John Adams wrote to Hezekiah Niles on February 13, 1818:

"The American Revolution took place “in the Minds and Hearts of the People”—a “radical Change in the Principles, Opinions Sentiments and Affection of the People,” he wrote, “was the real American Revolution.”

...All of the revolutionary actions and documents leading to the Declaration (of Independence) express one dimension or another of the American idea of political freedom."

The spirit and Vision of the people that preceded the American Revolution as described by John Adams is meant for generations that follow is the attachment to its principles:

Fifty years ago, when Americans were celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Declaration, Harry V. Jaffa wrote in his book, How to Think About the American Revolution, “Nothing threatens the future of human freedom more than the failure to keep alive the understanding of, and attachment to, its principles.

Fyi: John Adams  the 2nd president was the father of John Quincy Adams, 6th president, 

John Quincy Adams Quotes About Bible

Christopher Flannery continues

"John Quincy Adams made the same point beautifully in one of his many great speeches. “Fellow citizens,” he said, after telling the Biblical story of the children of Israel’s entry into the Promised Land, “the Ark of Your Covenant is the Declaration of Independence.” All of their Blessings, he went on to say, would come from adherence to the Declaration’s principles, and all of their curses would come from departure from those principles. "

For John Quincy Adams these Principles came from the Bible.

In his July 4, 1821 Address to the U.S. House of Representatives celebrating the Declaration of Independence, John Quincy Adams famously referred to the Declaration as "the Ark of your Covenant" and exhorted citizens to internalize and pass down its foundational liberties.

"Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts, and in your souls—bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes—teach them to your children, speaking of them when sitting in your houses, when walking by the way, when lying down and when rising up—write them upon the doorplates of your houses, and upon your gates—cling to them as to the issues of life—adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation. So may your children’s children at the next return of this day of jubilee, after a full century of experience under your national Constitution, celebrate it again in the full enjoyment of all the blessings recognised by you in the commemoration of this day, and of all the blessings promised to the children of Israel upon Mount Gerizim, as the reward of obedience to the law of God."

My comments,:
Until the Hearts and Minds of the People of Israel Return to G-d and Torah without being a Slave to Foreign influence, we can not truly be Free and a Sovereign Nation.

America, under the influence of Democratic National Socialist, or Leadership based on Greed and personal Honor will fall apart and disintegrate, once they part from the Vision of the Founding Fathers that made America what it is based on One Nation under G-d with Liberty and Justice for all. 

The Secular State of Israel, on the other hand has still yet to declare true Sovereigny based on Torah.  This idea was expressed in HaKol Hayehudi.

Original  Hebrew follows English

העברית המקורית עוקבת אחר האנגלית
HaKol HaYehudi:

*Without the Bible, We Have No Right to the Land of Israel*

A Jewish state cannot be based solely on a political majority, but needs a "covenant" - a public that jointly undertakes to establish a state whose purpose for public life is the Torah. The first step on the path to a covenant is to develop a consciousness of a right to a Jewish state, even before discussing what can be promoted in the Knesset.

The right of the people of Israel to the Land of Israel stems from the Bible and from the covenant with God. The land was not given to the people of Israel as private property for free use, but for a purpose: establishing a national life oriented to the Torah. Therefore, a state that separates Jewish sovereignty from the Torah is not just an alternative cultural choice, but an exercise of the right to the land against the purpose by virtue of which it was given.

Why is the consciousness of the right important from a public perspective? A group that sees a Jewish state as only a political will always depends on the number of mandates, on polls, and on the will of the majority; when it has no chance of winning, even the association around the consciousness loses meaning. On the other hand, those who see a Jewish state as a just right that does not depend on the majority can unite around it as a minority. This is how an extra-parliamentary alliance is created: not a party created from public opinion, but a public that seeks to create public opinion and a new-old constitutive story.

The consciousness of right also creates freedom in relation to the existing system: the laws of the state are not necessarily the upper limit of justice and authority, because the right to the land and the Torah precede the state. This does not mean irresponsible disregard for the state, but an obligation to exercise independent judgment - as was expressed, for example, in the debate over the refusal of an ordinance in Gush Katif. The alliance will begin when people stop asking only how much political power they have, and begin to take upon themselves the responsibility together to build the ideological and public infrastructure for a renewed Jewish state

הקול היהודי
*בלי התנ״ך אין לנו זכות על ארץ ישראל*

מדינה יהודית אינה יכולה להתבסס רק על רוב פוליטי, אלא זקוקה ל״ברית״ - ציבור שמקבל על עצמו במשותף להקים מדינה שתכלית חייה הציבוריים היא התורה. השלב הראשון בדרך לברית הוא פיתוח תודעה של זכות למדינה יהודית, עוד לפני הדיון במה אפשר לקדם בכנסת.

הזכות של עם ישראל על ארץ ישראל נובעת מן התנ״ך ומן הברית עם הקב״ה. הארץ לא ניתנה לעם ישראל כנכס פרטי לשימוש חופשי, אלא לשם תכלית: הקמת חיים לאומיים המכוונים לתורה. לכן מדינה המנתקת את הריבונות היהודית מן התורה אינה רק בחירה תרבותית חלופית, אלא שימוש בזכות על הארץ נגד הייעוד שמכוחו ניתנה.

מדוע תודעת הזכות חשובה מבחינה ציבורית? קבוצה שרואה במדינה יהודית רק רצון  פוליטי תלויה תמיד במספר המנדטים, בסקרים וברצון הרוב; כאשר אין לה סיכוי לנצח, גם ההתאגדות סביב התודעה מאבדת משמעות. לעומת זאת, מי שרואה במדינה יהודית זכות צודקת שאינה תלויה ברוב יכול להתאגד סביבה כבר כמיעוט. כך נוצרת ברית חוץ - פרלמנטרית: לא מפלגה שנוצרת מתוך דעת הקהל, אלא ציבור המבקש ליצור דעת קהל וסיפור מכונן חדש- ישן.

תודעת הזכות יוצרת גם חירות ביחס למערכת הקיימת: חוקי המדינה אינם בהכרח הגבול העליון של הצדק והסמכות, משום שהזכות על הארץ והתורה קודמות למדינה. אין פירוש הדבר התעלמות חסרת אחריות מהמדינה, אלא חובה להפעיל שיקול דעת עצמאי - כפי שהתבטא, לדוגמה, בוויכוח על סירוב פקודה בגוש קטיף. הברית תתחיל כאשר אנשים יפסיקו לשאול רק כמה כוח פוליטי יש להם, ויתחילו לקבל על עצמם יחד את האחריות לבנות את התשתית הרעיונית והציבורית למדינה יהודית מחודשת

Avi Abelow: Yehoshua Shani, father of Lt. Uri Shani, HY"D, killed on Oct. 7 fighting the jihadi invaders from Gaza: What happened this Shabbat in the intensive care unit at Rambam Hospital demands an immediate investigation.

The night at Rambam Hospital that outraged a soldier's family

Yehoshua Shani has called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the treatment of his nephew, who was seriously wounded in combat and hospitalized at Rambam Medical Center.

but Avi Abelow adds very important commentary! 

Avi Abelow's Commentary

Now for my personal commentary. I’m not as politically correct as Yehoshua Shani: 

Let’s say they consider themselves “palestinians, as most Arab Muslim Israelis identify, and believe Israel is killing their jihadi brothers and cousins in Gaza. Is it really so far-fetched to think they would exploit their positions on the night shift in a hospital to neglect their medical duties toward IDF soldiers? 

Add to that a 1,400-year jihadi ideological background. 

Jews must wake up: the Arab Muslim population with Israeli citizenship is a fifth column. Not all of them, but many. They must be treated as the security risk they represent, not blindly trusted in positions that impact Jewish lives, as doctors or nurses in our hospitals.

This is wake-up time for the Jewish people. The time for naively ignoring the jihadi background of our Arab Muslim Israeli citizens is over. The danger of jihad is not just in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria, it’s in our hospitals, pharmacies and buses, all staffed by Arab Muslim Israeli citizens. 

We will overcome this. It begins by stopping the denial of a 1,400-year jihad and its impact on Arab Muslims. This is an evil that must be removed from God’s holy land, the land entrusted to the Jewish people to spread holiness and serve as a light unto the nations.

For the United States, or any country, to survive the growing jihad within its borders and the political power it is gaining, all jihadis must be deported. Israel must set the example by implementing this policy first.

Strengthen your faith. Share these truths loudly. Stop being afraid of being called an “Islamophobe.” Saving our lives is more important.

Am Yisrael Chai!!!

Yehoshua Shani, father of Lt. Uri Shani, HY"D, killed on Oct. 7 fighting the jihadi invaders from Gaza:

What happened this Shabbat in the intensive care unit at Rambam Hospital demands an immediate investigation.

Three days ago, my nephew Eitan, an IDF combat soldier, was seriously wounded in Lebanon and hospitalized at Rambam Hospital together with three other soldiers from his unit who were also wounded.

Since then, we have been living with tremendous anxiety for his well-being.

Eitan was sedated and on a ventilator. Only yesterday afternoon did he wake up, suffering from burns all over his body, pain, fever, and hallucinations.

And then night came.

A new shift entered the ward. According to the family, every member of the nursing staff on that shift was Arabic-speaking.

At a certain point, all the families were removed from the ward and the doors were locked.

You have to understand the situation:
Four seriously wounded IDF soldiers, who had just returned from fighting in Lebanon, were left alone behind locked doors, without their families, while the entire staff on duty was Arabic-speaking.

I want to say this clearly: Given the security reality in which we are living, this is a situation that, from the families’ perspective, raises serious questions and creates a profound sense of insecurity. These feelings must not be dismissed, and these questions must not be swept under the rug.

The family members asked to be allowed inside.
Not to interfere with the staff’s work.
Not to sit there for hours.
Just to go in for a second and see that Eitan was okay.

Again and again they asked.
Again and again they were refused.

At a certain point, David, Eitan’s brother, decided that he had to see with his own eyes what was happening to his brother. He forced his way through the door and entered the ward.

And what he describes seeing there is simply inconceivable.
Eitan was not okay.

According to David, his wounded brother was lying there begging for water, and at that moment none of the staff was beside him to respond to him.

A soldier seriously wounded in Lebanon.
Only hours earlier, he had awakened after being sedated and ventilated.
Suffering from burns, pain, fever, and hallucinations.
Begging for water.
With no family member beside him.
And at that moment, no one approaching him to help.

Then Eitan whispered something even more serious to his brother.

According to David, Eitan told him that when members of the staff turned him over in his bed, they did so brutally, “like a sardine,” in Eitan’s words, and his head was slammed against the bed.

These are things Eitan himself told his brother.
I am not prepared to simply let this pass.

And when David cried out over what he was seeing, instead of someone stopping and asking the obvious question, what happened here, and why is a wounded soldier begging for help? a hospital security officer was summoned to deal with David, who had entered the ward to check on his brother.

We also tried to involve the IDF unit responsible for hospitalized soldiers.
There was no representative available there for the family.

And there is something else that particularly infuriates me.

When a terrorist or security detainee is hospitalized, the State of Israel makes sure to place security personnel with him, among other reasons to ensure that no harm comes to him during his hospitalization.

Yet here we have four IDF soldiers who were seriously wounded in battle in Lebanon, and their families are removed from the ward. They remain behind locked doors, without an IDF representative there for them, while the entire staff on duty, according to the family’s testimony, is Arabic-speaking.

We know how to place guards around a terrorist.
But who is guarding our soldiers?

I am not claiming that every Arabic-speaking staff member constitutes a danger. Certainly not.

But in the reality of war, when wounded and helpless soldiers are hospitalized after battle, the IDF’s responsibility toward them does not end the moment the helicopter reaches the hospital.

The IDF must ensure that they are protected, properly cared for, and that there is an available military representative for their families.

And I ask:
Who is responsible for this failure?
Who is responsible for a situation in which the families of four seriously wounded soldiers find themselves outside locked doors?
Who was supposed to ensure that these soldiers received attention at every moment?
Who checked what was happening behind those doors?
And who, on behalf of the IDF, was supposed to be there for the soldiers and their families?

I demand that the management of Rambam Hospital and the IDF immediately open a thorough investigation into this incident.

I demand that all security-camera footage from the ward and corridors during the relevant hours be preserved immediately.

I demand an investigation into exactly who was on duty, why all the families were removed and the doors locked, what response Eitan received when he asked for water, how he was treated and moved in his bed, where the staff members were during those minutes, and who was responsible for the shift.

And I demand an answer to another question that we must not be afraid to ask:
Was the fact that the entire staff on duty was Arabic-speaking completely irrelevant to what occurred, or is there something additional here that requires investigation?

I am not determining the answer in advance.
I am demanding that the question be investigated.

Not every Arab staff member is responsible for what happened, and I am not casting suspicion on an entire community. But neither should the families of wounded soldiers be expected to ignore the situation or the fears it raised for them.

These four young men were not injured while on vacation.
They were wounded as IDF combat soldiers in Lebanon, defending the State of Israel.

When they are lying wounded, in pain, and helpless in an Israeli hospital, the State of Israel owes them one basic thing:
To protect them.

I expect an investigation and answers.
Not in a month.
Not after the camera footage has been erased.
Now.

Commentary,  Elisha Yered
*Jews will walk everywhere.* *Period.*
*The enemy tried this week to stop the Jewish presence in the open areas by means of murderous terrorism, after it understood well that “every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours!”*
*But we also understand this today more than ever!*

*Yair Golan and the left-wing media are trying to blame the hikers for the attack and to turn hiking in Judea and Samaria into an illegitimate act. Jews – should only walk inside the fences.*

*We will not allow this to happen!*

*The entire Land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel, and we will hike in it quietly and safely.*

*If the enemy raises its head – the security system must cut off its head.*

*This coming Friday we will continue in the path of Binyahu Melet hy”d, who struggled for his life on the rock ridge (Sela Ridge) where he fell, and we will go out to hike in the area under the guidance of the leaders of the ‘Hargavim’ hikers’ group.*
*Share and come.*

Israel's Hilltop Heroes

*The Hilltop Youth: The Story the Media Refuses to Tell*
a video by Avi Abelow, Pulse of Israel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd3y6vBDGyc

Avi Abelow presents a strongly supportive perspective on the Hilltop youth, portraying them as courageous modern Jewish heroes playing a vital role in maintaining Israeli security and sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. He highlights recent terrorist arson attacks, theft, and violence from the Palestinian population, emphasizing that these are not isolated incidents, but part of a persistent security threat that mainstream media and Israeli authorities often underreport or misrepresent.

The Hilltop youth, comprising young Israelis living on remote hilltops and establishing farms and outposts, act as a first line of defense against jihadi encroachment, illegal building, and terror attacks, crediting them with preventing the expansion of terror bases close to Israeli population centers and securing the region.

Avi criticizes mainstream media’s disproportionate focus on "settler violence" while downplaying Palestinian aggression, arguing that this narrative distorts reality and weakens Israeli public understanding and resolve. He stresses the importance of a strong security posture, supported by current Israeli leadership, to deter attacks and protect Jewish communities. Personal stories and broader geopolitical realities demonstrate that the Arab Muslim population in Judea and Samaria shares hostile sentiments akin to those in Gaza, underscoring the challenging context in which the Hilltop youth operate. Avi calls for recognition and support for these young pioneers, drawing a parallel to earlier generations who bravely settled border regions during Israel’s founding era, and presents them as indispensable to Israel’s safety and future.
