Happening Now, Demolitions in Five Settlement Points in Gush Etzion.

Bsd 

Updated hours later:

Thank you Moshe Elkman for the link that probably explains the recent persecution and demolitions of Settler points. Yes there is another US pushed political deal in the works.

The political answer why Israel is now cracking  down on the Settler Youth 馃槖

In Defense of the 'Hilltop Youth' by Ari Abramowitz

Translation from the original text in Hebrew below. 

(Commentary: It has been noted that these Demolition operations follows a recent horrible attack against Hilltop Youth this past Shabbat. Live ammunition was used against our own kids as if they were the enemy! One 14 year old seriously wounded. This happened on Shabbat so initially the media painted the Settler Youth as Violent! The truth came out on Motzei Shabbat. Not only was there no evidence but the exact opposite was the case. The IDF? Israeli Police were the violent ones shooting live bullets at innocent Jewish kids with Kippot and Peyot seriously injuring one 14 year old and then arrested them and painted lies in the news and then tried covering it up.  

Similar pre dawn demolitions of makeshift Settling points by Hilltop Youth, usually precede some political agreement pressuring Israel to give away Jewish Sovereignty over parts of our Ancestral HomeLand. These Israeli military operations against our own people tests the resolve of  our Jewish pioneers  against Land Giveaways,  and if nothing else, tries to  provoke the Settler Youth and catch them by camera in an attempt to protect themselves, so that they appear violent and depict them and the Settlers as the bad guys. This in turn helps to justify a bad political deal that ultimately compromises the Jewish People Settling our Land. 

These COGAT operations are a terrible Chilul Hashem that greatly empowers our enemies and endangers our entire people. 

If we are dismayed at the lies and blood libels against the IDF and against Israel, know it all starts with false blood libels against the Settlers.

We need to ask ourselves. What political pressures is the GOI now experiencing? What triggered this?  Why is the GOI fueling this outrageous attack on Settler Youth just now?)

Elisha Yered From Hilltop News
*Demolition in five settlement points in Judea and Samaria since morning - IDF soldiers were sent to carry out the mission: "An unbridled campaign of revenge"*

Police and Civil Administration forces raided Givat Mikneh Avraham in Gush Etzion today (Monday), destroying the local houses and the goat pen, and confiscating additional construction materials.

At the same time, the forces raided another settlement point near the settlement of Mitzad and also destroyed the buildings there, along with confiscating equipment. During the demolition, one of the Arab contractor workers brought by the administrator laughed and said disdainfully to the residents, "Why do I come here every time? Because I like to destroy Jews."

Shortly thereafter, when the residents were evacuated from the area and Civil Administration forces and contractor workers were left alone on the hill, a fire suddenly broke out in the place that is raging till now. At this time, residents and fire brigades are battling the flames in an attempt to gain control of the fire.

 Meanwhile, IDF and police forces carried out additional destruction at a settlement point near Bat Ayin, alongside 2 evacuations in the Binyamin sector - on a hill in Mount Hazor where the battalion's shooting took place last Saturday, and at another settlement point in Wadi Haramiya that guards the intersections of Highway 60.

In Givat Mikneh Avraham, they sharply attacked this campaign of destruction that has been taking place in recent hours: "In a criminal attempt to back up the battalion's shooting at Jewish teenagers on Shabbat, the entire system went into a spiral and has now embarked on an unbridled campaign of revenge in the settlement in order to deflect criticism from it for allowing the settlers' blood to spill and cover up its lies."

"Givat Mikneh Avraham physically guards the Land as per the Agreement against a hostile Palestinian takeover by the PA through grazing and agriculture, and like the other hills, it constitutes the only barrier to the Palestinian state plan. We call on Ministers Katz and Smotrich, who are in charge of the Civil Administration: Immediately stop the attacks on the settlement pioneers!"

Open Letter to Agudath Israel regarding Secular Education

Letter sent to Agudah with minor changes.

Bsd
讗诇 讛诪拽讜诐 讗砖专 ..

Lichvod  Agudah, 

Below please find a link to the video about an archeological dig in Eretz Yisroel in Ir Dovid. It's a discussion between Yishai Fleisher and Doron Spielman.

Why am I cc'ing Agudah?

Jewish Heritage and our rights to Eretz Yisroel or rather the deletion of such a narrative is a major focus of the Non Jewish World. 

The biggest threat our enemies have coming from Israel is the Jewish Biblical and historical claim to Eretz Yisroel.

it's not mighty guns and airplanes that scares our enemies the most.

The root of the conflict is ideological and religious.

From the River to the Sea.... They chant and we know what that really means. 

Yes we can get tons of funding from the American government for Jewish Education! Will it have strings attached?

My guess is absolutely yes. 

They will want to control the narrative and the text books.

May I suggest that it's time for Agudah to play an active role in oversight and engage in creating and editing the content of actual written material in secular textbooks upon finding misinformation. There is an organization called Truth in textbooks which is addressing this matter. Perhaps Agudah can partner with them. 

Lies and misinformation, brainwashing in the secular world, has already come to haunt us and will continue to do so if not addressed forcefully now. 

Indifference is not an option.

Remaining apart ensuring that just our Yeshivot have accurate information based on Torah is very important but is part of a Galut mentality that the Jewish people just want and need to be separate free to practice our religion without interference, harassment and involvement from the outside.

But our mission is more comprehensive than merely being a holy nation which is a lofty goal all by itself and has kept the Jewish people alive in all these years of Galuth.

Shemot 19:5-6


5And now, if you obey Me and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a treasure out of all peoples, for Mine is the entire earth. 讜ְ注ַ转ָּ֗讛 讗ִ诐־砖ָׁ诪֤讜ֹ注ַ 转ִּ砖ְׁ诪ְ注讜ּ֙ 讘ְּ拽ֹ诇ִ֔讬 讜ּ砖ְׁ诪ַ专ְ转ֶּ֖诐 讗ֶ转־讘ְּ专ִ讬转ִ֑讬 讜ִֽ讛ְ讬ִ֨讬转ֶ诐 诇ִ֤讬 住ְ讙ֻ诇ָּ讛֙ 诪ִ讻ָּ诇־讛ָ֣注ַ诪ִּ֔讬诐 讻ִּ讬־诇ִ֖讬 讻ָּ诇־讛ָ讗ָֽ专ֶ抓:
6And you shall be to Me a kingdom of princes and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the children of Israel." 讜ְ讗ַ转ֶּ֧诐 转ִּֽ讛ְ讬讜ּ־诇ִ֛讬 诪ַ诪ְ诇ֶ֥讻ֶ转 讻ֹּֽ讛ֲ谞ִ֖讬诐 讜ְ讙֣讜ֹ讬 拽ָ讚֑讜ֹ砖ׁ 讗ֵ֚诇ֶּ讛 讛ַ讚ְּ讘ָ专ִ֔讬诐 讗ֲ砖ֶׁ֥专 转ְּ讚ַ讘ֵּ֖专 讗ֶ诇־讘ְּ谞ֵ֥讬 讬ִ砖ְׂ专ָ讗ֵֽ诇


We are commanded to keep Hashem 's  Covenant making us a treasured Nation because the entire world is His and Hashem instructed us to teach the world and to be a Mamlechet Cohanim  veGoy Kadosh, a Kingdom of Priests and a H-ly nation.

Yes we must remain holy but yes we also need to be a Kingdom of Priests and be the teachers of the world for a better G-dly society. This knowledge comes from Zion as it says

 讻讬 诪爪讬讜谉 转爪讗 转讜专讛 讜讚讘专 讛砖诐 诪讬专讜砖诇讬诐

This archeological dig of an ancient Road is one example that strengthens Israel's claim to Jerusalem.  Being proactive is so important! 

注谞讜讬诐 注谞讜讬诐 讛讙讬注 讛讝诪谉 讙讗讜诇转讻诐

This is necessary to counter lies and misinformation coming from those in the Middle East funding America's secular education in the billions of dollars going on for years, in Elite Universities like Harvard, Columbia and Yale etc... and in Elementary Schools K-12 across America.

Am Yisroel needs to do our part and surely HKBH will help our efforts.

Yasher Koach on all of our combined efforts to speed up the Geula!

Fyi
Ancient Road discovered that connects City of David to the Temple Mount and you can walk on it! Plus proof of the Davidic  Dynasty and more. Yishai Fleisher with Doron Spielman.

When the Stones Speak

from NCSY
Jerusalem: If These Stones Could Talk
The packet focuses on understanding the pasuk 讻讬 诪爪讬讜谉 转爪讗 转讜专讛 讜讚讘专 讛' 诪讬专讜砖诇讬诐 ("From Zion shall come forth the Torah, and the word of God from Jerusalem".) The question is to understand the latter part of the pasuk, and the word of God from Jerusalem. What does it mean that the word of G-d is from Jerusalem? The packet offers 4 answers: Shechina (Divine Presence) never departs from Jerusalem, Jews feel a closer connection to G-d in Jerusalem, Jerusalem is a city that teaches us Jewish values, Jerusalem is the city that teaches morality to the world.

Dear Agudath Israel: FYI "The Curriculum Was Ready Before the Massacre: What Are They Teaching Our Kids About Israel?" on YouTube

Bsd

Lichvod the Askanim of Agudah,

Yasher Koach on your advocacy in Washington on behalf of Yeshivoth and private education funding. 

Such advocacy is extremely important and may I suggest it needs to be expanded to address non Jewish education as well.

Doing so might not be the focus of Agudah right now since we have more than enough on our plate...yet to ignore the massive influx of disinformation and lies and brainwashing happening en mass in the US educational system will, chas VeSholom, come to haunt us.

PJTN has been monitoring children textbooks and have noticed that the progressive left is partnering with pro Hamas supporters and putting what happened on October 7th in a positive light across the educational spectrum. Their extensive outreach is impressive unfortunately. 

So please don't turn a blind eye but rather pay attention and address the tremendous strides, our enemies have made succeeding to brainwash children in America K-12 with lies and misinformation about Israel and by extension the Jewish People. 

Religious Jews want to be left alone to teach our curriculum and not worry about the education of the rest of the world. We merely aim to raise a generation of law abiding American citizens, who are at the same time very proud of our Jewish Heritage.  Doing so by itself will be a Bracha Levatala, ineffective, when facing a secular society brought up from a young age with antisemitic lies and anti G-d ethics and morality. 

Jew hatred unfortunately became the accepted norm as was the case in Nazi Germany leading to the Holocaust and once again now happening today in Global Islamo-Fascist societies all over the world. Rather than education there is brainwashing of a toxic ideology that led to October 7th.

Lies and misinformation about Jews and Israel has seeped into society via  schools and the educational system.

Jewish hatred doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Time for Agudah to take a leadership role in non Jewish education as well! Time to become a Kingdom of Priests, a Mamlechet Kohanim. 

- This means monitoring what is being taught in the secular world and advocating censoring lies and misinformation and putting out the Truth about Israel. 
-  It means having an influence on the secular educational system.
-  Teaching right from wrong based on basic fundamental laws of a Civilized society. 
- It means bringing G-d back into schools and introducing the 7 Noahide laws. 

We can actually learn from the effective modus operandi from our enemies how to spread truth rather than lies.

Please watch and listen to this enlightening interview of Lauri Cordoza Moore, President, Founder  of PJTN, Proclaim Justice to the Nations and Dr. Sandra Alfonsi Senior Academic Advisor of PJTN.

Early in the Morning: Family Evacuated and House Destroyed in Gush Etzion*

The campaign of destruction in the settlement does not stop: About 100 police officers and Civil Administration inspectors, accompanied by heavy equipment, raided Givat Noda BeYehuda, near the settlement of Ma'ale Amos in eastern Gush Etzion, at around 4 a.m., and destroyed the houses there.

The Abudraham family, who also lived on the hill, was evacuated from their home with their two children and their house was destroyed in front of the children who were taken out of their beds. On the hill, they reported this morning that the forces were clearly motivated to demolish the last of the buildings on the hill, including warehouses and temporary structures, which in turn caused the collapse of a slope based on their insistence of demolishing a side structure that was erected on the mountainside.

This is a highly unusual destruction carried out under the authority of Minister Smotrich after more than two years in which no evacuations were carried out in the area. Six months ago, when demolition orders were imposed on the houses, Smotrich claimed in response to a reporter's inquiry that these were routine actions by field officials in the administration who are not authorized to order the destruction themselves, and that the evacuation of the hill did not require his approval. This morning, as mentioned, the houses were demolished by the Civil Administration's bulldozers.

Givat Noda beYehuda was established about 3 years ago east of the settlement of Ma'ale Amos in eastern Gush Etzion, and is stopping the spread of Arab construction in the agreed reserve towards the settlement and the areas around it. In the past two years, the hill has been the target of Arab terrorist attacks that have seriously injured residents, but they remain strong in the area to this day and are currently working to develop the hill and absorb additional families.

 This morning's demolition joins a series of evictions and demolitions that have occurred in the West Bank over the past week, including the destruction of the homes of three families in the Or Nachman Hills in Binyamin, the uprooting of a fruit orchard near Shiloh, and the repeated destruction of a Jewish settlement near the settlement of Amichai.
