To my Fellow Jew and Noahide, amv"sh
Why are we blaming Obama? Can we even blame Netanyahu? We need to be introspective. Think out of a box. I would like to present food for thought. Please bear with me when I repeat and add to previous emails. Our enemies repeat lies and they are believed. Why not repeat truth?
Obama is only Hashem's Shaliach, messenger to wake us up. The Palestinians are G-d's Shaliach to wake us up. The scare at Ben Gurion airport tonight is also to wake us up! Judea and Samaria in Palestinian hands, G-d forbid, puts Ben Gurion within shooting range. A relative, friend or neighbor flying El Al in danger. A whole plane load! What a nightmare.
In Parshas Bechukosai it says that if we go in happenstance then Hashem goes with us in happenstance.
We all know that there is no such thing as a Palestinian Homeland! Yet Obama does not stand corrected to a fundamental falsehood in his Speech. In fact, Netanyahu found Obama's speech acceptable and apparently Netanyahu publicly accepts this lie of the Palestinian Homeland and is moving forward on this Roadmap to H-ll.
Yet Netanyahu is not stupid.
Netanyahu is aware that there is no connection, to the Palestinians of today to the Pelishtim of days gone by. It is a lie, a distortion and a myth that raises it's ugly head whenever Jews build, plant and dwell in their Land.
Historically, Palestinians come out of nowhere when Jews aren't convinced fully that G-d has Chosen Jews to inherit the Land.
We all know that the Land of Israel is called the Promised Land since it is Promised to the Nation of Israel and to no other. The words of the Torah has been proven accurate, that the Land will remain desolate without Jewish settlement and we all know from history that the Land of Israel does not produce for any other Nation.
If we all know this common knowledge then why is it such a secret to Obama and the International Media? Why is Netanyahu Silent?
Perhaps, Jews want to keep it a secret. After all there are obligations, difficult obligations, that come with the territory of inheriting the Land.
These obligations are the Mitzvoth, commandments dependent on the Land that only Jews can keep.
Breishis Rabba has a response for those Jews who have a guilty conscience for inheriting the Land. It explains why the Torah starts with Genesis rather than the first commandment. To teach these Jews who feel guilty of their gift, that G-d created the Land and it is His choice to give it to whom He desires.
Perhaps Jews feel uncomfortable to observe those commandments which clearly demonstrate that the Land belongs to G-d and not to them. When one claims ownership to property not rightfully his, it leads to wrongfully giving it away. In the Shemittah year, the Jew proclaims in deed and action that the Land belongs to G-d. The Land returns for 1 year out of 7 to its Creator. The Land lies fallow.
It is no surprise then that failure to keep the Sabbatical year lends itself to agreements such as Oslo, Annapolis, a 2 State Solution. Heads of State make deals in which they have no business doing so. The common denominator of all these agreements is that they all have a proven track record of being a "Terror Process". The Biblical curse of lack of security for failure to observe Shemittah properly.
It boils down to one Mitzvah called Shabbat Haaretz. Our Sages say that Shabbat, the Sabbath, is equivalent to all the commandments in the Torah. Correct observance of the Sabbath, in turn generates correct observance of all the Mitzvoth. I will reserve further explanation of how this is accomplished with Shemittah for a later discussion but to understand the concept, take the Mitzvah of Learning Torah. Learning Torah falls under the same category of being equivalent to the entire Torah. Clearly, learning Torah leads one to observe the commandments of the Torah. We all understand that one who is ignorant is incapable of appreciating and observing commandments properly.
It is not merely that learning Torah is one of the most important Mitzvoth equivalent to all the other Mitzvoth. Learning Torah enhances appreciation and observance of all the commandments and that is why is has special status.
The Shemittah year is the Sabbath of the Earth. In our generation, rather than obeying this commandment in the spirit of the Sabbath, Jews sell the Land of Israel symbolically to strangers and circumvent the Mitzvah. Or, many refuse to sell it symbolically but buy their produce from strangers, even enemies of Israel, rather than eat from the produce of the Land and then stand by in Silence when it is offered on a silver platter to our enemies. In the Shemittah year, prices for mediocre produce made by Arab labor on "Arab soil" soar, and our enemies are made rich by us.
How many fields are open for public picking and for field trips in the spirit of the Sabbath of sharing and eating? Why are Heter Mechira and Yevul Nochri the Rabbinic norm for the Shemittah year, rather than produce with Kedushas Shviis of Eretz Yisroel priced super reasonably for all Jews throughout Eretz Yisroel to pick and enjoy?
True, there are some farmers who pass the test with flying colors but what about the rest of the population who can not even fathom what life would be like if we would attempt to keep the laws of Shmittat Kesafim without Pruzbul.
Shemittah is a Mitzvah whose Halacha has yet to be truly discovered and solidified. It is one big mystery that has not been properly observed since the beginning of time. A yearning and desire to properly observe this commandment is the necessary first step leading to the point where peace and prosperity reign.
In Parshath Bechukosai, Shemittah seems to be the key in invoking G-d's Blessings or Wrath.
One thing is certain. What is required is the desire to observe this commandment. With the desire is the determination to have the proper tools to keep this Mitzvah. Since this commandment is dependent on the Land there is no question as per who must be Sovereign over the Land.
And for those whose prayers are not merely lip service, a fitting response to Obama's message is to establish strong Jewish Control over Temple Mount.
The State of Israel was established with a flaw. It rejected the Torah as its Constitution. We are grateful to the State of Israel for the unbelievable growth of Torah since its establishment. Since the flaw is turning into a crack, many believe that the time has come to establish a Sovereign Torah Autonomy in Judea and Samaria, a prototype gov't, by those who are strong in faith and are determined to search for truth and understanding and desire to adhere to the commandments of the Torah. Let us join united as one with the support, participation and consent of all believing Jews and Noahides and proudly assert and defend G-d's Promised Land from all forces of evil who wish to extinguish the Light of G-d. Surely if the forces of evil are able to establish a Sovereign State, the forces of good are more competent and capable especially since we can rely on G-d's Promise to protect us and watch over us when we observe His commandments in the Land. The State of Israel needs only to act in solidarity with its brothers and sisters in Judea and Samaria and lend their support in word and in action. No one in Israel wants to coerce or be coerced to a Torah lifestyle that is perhaps scary and unknown. Give it time and the rest of Am Yisroel and the Nations of the world will say "AM Chacham VeNavon", A Wise Nation, and with time the beauty and wisdom of the Holy Torah will shine through.
Deuteronomy Chapter 30 דְּבָרִים
The Nation of Israel and the Torah is the key player in the actualization of Isaiah's prophesy. A Palestinian State serves no purpose other than the destruction of the Light of G-d over the Nations of the World. Obama has a vision of a Palestinian State the epitome of darkness, evil and destruction. The time has come to expose the imposters of the world, who speak of "peace" yet do the opposite, and they reside in the UN in the White House, and throughout the world. They deny the Nation of Israel it's heritage and deny the world peace and prosperity.
Isaiah Chapter 2
1. The word that Isaiah, son of Amoz, prophesied concerning Judah and Jerusalem. א. 2. And it shall be at the end of the days, that the Mountain of the Lord's House shall be firmly established at the top of the mountains, and it shall be raised above the hills, and all the nations shall stream to it. ב. 3. And many peoples shall go, and they shall say, "Come, let us go up to the Lord's mount, to the House of the God of Jacob, and let Him teach us of His ways, and we will go in His paths," for out of Zion shall the Torah come forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. ג. 4. And he shall judge between the nations and reprove many peoples, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. ד. 5. "O house of Jacob, come and let us go in the light of the Lord."
Isaiah 11:9 "They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as water covers the sea"

Israel Does Not Own the Land
Israel does not own the Land of Israel. G-d does. It says so specifically in the Bible in Leviticus, chapter 25, verse 23.....
