Madoff vs. Rubashkin: A Miscarriage of Justice! A Message from Hashem?

bs"d

Aren't both Madoff and Rubashkin Jews?  Can we claim it's antisemitism against the Jew?

I believe that G-d is trying to send a message to us Jews.  I believe the message to be as follows:

You Am Yisroel, my dear people, the apple of my eye, my chosen nation, are willing to give away Eretz Yisroel.  Since 2002 there are talks of a Palestinian State in the heart of Eretz Yisroel.  Aside from a small minority, there is barely a cry of protest.  Why the complacency among the Jewish people regarding their birthright? Why are you so willing to free yourselves of Eretz Yisroel and all of the obligations that are associated with living a Jewish life in Eretz Yisroel.

So Hashem comes up with a way to wake us up and make all the headlines in all the newspapers. Hashem puts it into the mind of some Iowa Judge to come up with this totally out of the ballpark decision to insist that Rubashkin can not leave on bail because of the Right of Return.

 Now all of Am Yisroel,  feels what it's like when we are told that we are not allowed to go to Eretz Yisroel and even worse, we will be held in prison in America so that there is absolutely no chance that we can go to Eretz Yisroel.  Up to this point we all had a chance, with Law of Return to return to Eretz Yisroel, to keep the Mitzvoth of Eretz Yisroel, to actualize the Tefillot of Pesukei D'Zimra, Shema and Shmoneh Esrah.  Yet we offer lipservice and disregarard all the blatant miracles that Hashem sent our way. 

But it is still not too late!  I propose that in response to the judgement in IOWA each and every Jew would declare their personal entitlement, and their love and yearning for the Holy Land, the Land of Israel (note, not the Land of Palestine!).  I believe that only this will change the mind of the judge and will get Rubashkin out w/o even paying enormous sums of money.  Let all the money spent on legal fees be instead directed to helping the Jews of Yehuda and the Shomron to keep their houses and to stop an expulsion far greater than Gush Katif.

We are a Mamlechet Kohanim VeGoy Kadosh.  We are a Kingdom of Priests for the Nations of the World  and our Holy Service will serve to benefit mankind!  In this world of Global economy, let us get on the bandwagon and declare that America and all the Nations of the World is linked to Jerusalem.  We are presently fighting a religious war not to our choosing. We must fight for our survival whether or not we want to.  The way to fight is to have Hashem on our side by showing Him that we love and desire the Torah and His precious gift to us Eretz Yisroel.

 Israel desires peace and prosperity for Mankind.  Our enemies desire the opposite. 

If Rubashkin, in a just court of Law, is proven guilty of criminal or civil offenses then the Jews themselves would welcome a fair and honest judgement and rectification of the grievences.  In fact they would become a role model in the proper way to conduct business since it is their desire to do so.

But the facts on the ground show that what is happening is being driven from up in heaven and it is our job to see the greater picture and respond accordingly. 

If we go with happenstance (keri) then G-d too will go with happenstance.

"MADE-OFF" WIPED OUT TOWNS, CHARITIES, INSTITUTIONS; ALL BAIL SHOULD BE USED TO PAY THE VICTIMS BACK- WHITE COLOR CRIMINALS MUST BE JAILED FOR EACH ACT AGAINST EACH PERSON - IE, LIFE, HOME AND BANK ACCOUNTS, THIS IS NOT A POCKETBOOK STOLEN WHERE THE SMALL-TIME PERPETRATOR GETS LIFE, BUT A LIFETIME AND WAY OF LIFE STOLEN. IT IS MADNESS TO LET THIS CRIMINAL OUT ON BAIL.

SHUTTING RUBASHKIN DOWN WIPED OUT A TOWN AND KOSHER FOOD -BAIL SHOULD BE SO RUBASHKIN COULD BE PROPERLY PROSECUTED OR FOUND INNOCENT, BUT THE BUSINESS IS NOT GUILTY AND THE WORKERS NEED THEIR JOBS BACK; FAILURE TO FIND INNOCENT UNTIL FOUND GUILTY HAS FAILED THE TOWN, THE WORKERS, THE CONSTITUTION, THE COMPANY.

RE:
YWN Editorial: A Miscarriage of Justice!

As the mind boggling details of the biggest financial swindle in history continue to unfold, we learn today that the alleged perpetrator, Bernard Madoff has been granted conditional bail by a NY Judge.

The judge in the fraud case has set new conditions for his bail, including a curfew and ankle-monitoring bracelet for the disgraced investor.

Madoff remains free on bail, with his wife and brother serving as co-signers for his bail package. A hearing had been scheduled for Wednesday in which Madoff was required to find two additional co-signers to vouch for him.
Ý
For those following another case close to home, Shlomo Rubashkin of Agriprocessors fame is still languishing in jail unable to convince an "impartial? judge to grant him bail. A hundred co-signers would step forward in a minute and dozens of friends and family have already offered their homes as collateral in return for Rubashkin's release. The Judge has so far deemed Rubashkin a flight risk for his potential misuse of the "right of return law? an Israeli law granted to any Jew who wishes to immigrate to Israel. This inexplicable ruling has never been used in such settings according to legal observers.
Ý
Rubashkin's legal team (reported here) had repeatedly offered an overwhelming bail conditions package to convince the judge, including 24 hour armed guards with arresting capabilities, ankle bracelet monitoring, and significant financial guarantees to ensure Rubashkin remains in the States, but to no avail. Many in the legal community have expressed their worst fears that this unprecedented mis-application of the "right of return law? against a Jewish defendant, originally designed to protect the life of the persecuted, is now being used by a Judge as a means to deny a Jew their legal rights under the US constitution. We at YWN believe this may be the worst form of reverse discrimination we¥ve ever seen.
Ý
Let us understand what is happening here in the United States of America in the year 2008.
It appears, one Mr. Madoff the architect of the scheme that has financially ruined hundreds of families and has potentially wiped out numerous not -for- profit's has been set free conditionally, while the same purported legal justice system albeit in Iowa, refuses to allow bail to a identifiably religious defendant in a far less destructive legal entanglement. It appears Madoffs swindle is so huge it makes the Enron heist look like child¥s play. Why the double standard?

Is Rubashkin being held to the highest unattainable standard to use him as an example?
The misuse of legal authority and the miscarriage of justice is simply too stark to ignore.

Where is the outrage from our community?
How can American Jurist Prudence be so starkly different in Iowa vs. NY?
Ý
YWN calls on the entire Jewish community to create a firestorm of support for the terrible situation the Rubashkin family finds themselves in.

We do not cast judgment for or against in the Postville case, that is for the courts to decide. However, on the merits of the case and with compassion, we simply call on reasonable people of mercy and honor, to protest the flagrant abuse of power currently being imposed in Iowa. Irrefutable history hasÝ show, thatÝ accused murderers, rapists and thieves received bail for far worse heinous crimes. It is outrageous and un- American to deny Shlomo Rubashkin his legal right of bail simply because of his religion. Free Rubashkin.
