Police who Threaten Nationalist with Taser at Home and another Jew arrested for bowing on Har Habayit. Rabbanim sign Declaration!

 bs"d

Dear Rabbanim, Print and Radio Media, and Activist List,

Gemorrah Hakones 55b It was taught in a Baraisa - R' YEHOSHUA SAYS - THERE ARE FOUR CASES  of monetary loss FOR WHICH THE PERPETRATOR IS NOT LIABLE to pay UNDER THE LAWS OF MAN, BUT IS LIABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF HEAVEN - THEY ARE ......(the fourth one) AND ONE WHO KNOWS TESTIMONY  beneficial TO HIS FELLOW BUT DOES NOT TESTIFY ON HIS BEHALF.  

The avoidance of giving testimony is a violation of the Biblical exhortation:

א וְנֶפֶשׁ כִּי-תֶחֱטָא, וְשָׁמְעָה קוֹל אָלָה, וְהוּא עֵד, אוֹ רָאָה אוֹ יָדָע; אִם-לוֹא יַגִּיד, וְנָשָׂא עֲוֹנוֹ. Vayikra 5:1

If a person will sin; he accepted a demand for an oath, and he is a witness - either he saw or he knew  - if he does not testify, he shall bear his iniquity.

This talks about the situation whereby one is called upon to testify by a litigant, he is required to testify.  According to Tosfot  the "iniquity"  it mentions is carried by anyone who fails to give critical testimony, even if he did not take an oath. 

I suggest that the Yesha residents call upon Gedolei Hador BaTorah UbaMitzvoth to testify that homes in Judea and Samaria are legal properties and should not be destroyed.  Let them issue a halaachic ruling that no soldier is permitted to demolish another Jews home for political purposes of the Government of Israel under the IDF or under Civilian administration of the Military. Please forward this to as many Rabbanim, Hesder Rabbanim especially, and Media personalities as possible. Let us not forget those Rabbonim who collaborated with the government of Israel during the Disengagement.

There are numerous examples of Yesh Din Veyesh Dayan of those who were responsible of the Disengagement who are in bad shape today.  There seems to be a direct correlation between those who assisted in the Disengagement and those who are experiencing all kinds of heavenly or human punishment.

We therefore call upon all Rabbonim to provide critical testimony to prevent further expulsions, further harassment and demolitions of homes in Judea and Samaria and we call upon the media to report on it. It would be wise to learn from previous mistakes. 

 Failure of a Jew to testify in order to prevent property damage to a fellow Jew is liable under the laws of Heaven. 

If any Rav needs a wakeup call just listen to this audio of Rav Weissmandl speaking about the Silence of American Jewry in an election year on their failure to scream out to stop the systematic murder of 10,000 to 15,000 Jews a day in Hungary and their failure to get the Americans or British who controlled the airspace to bomb the train tracks to Auschwitz.

Video: Police Threaten Nationalist with Taser at Home

 

Footage shows how police harassed nationalist Pinchasi Bar-On inside the home where he is under house arrest.

Gil Ronen

Video footage (below) shows police officers harassing a nationalist, Pinchasi Bar On, inside his own home at Esh Kodesh, near Shilo.

Bar On, a soldier in the IDF, was arrested three weeks ago on suspicion of leaking military information to other residents in Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomron, or Yesha). After more than a week of strenuous interrogation in the National Unit for Investigation of International and Serious Crime, he was released to eight days' house arrest after no connection was found between him and the alleged offenses.  

During the days he was in house arrest, in the home of a relative in one of the communities in Binyamin, police came to the home twice a day, ostensibly to make sure that he was there. Every night, police visited the home in the wee hours of the night, between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m.

On the night between Wednesday and Thursday the police came at 2:40 a.m. Bar On opened the door and the police demanded identification. He told them – as he had told all policemen who visited the home previously – that his ID card had been left behind at Hadarim Prison, where he had been held, and that he had no other ID on him.

These police told him that he was being detained and taken to the police station for identification. Bar On objected and said that the police have other ways of ascertaining his identity besides dragging him off to the station at 3:00 a.m.

When the policemen insisted, Bar On said the arrest was unlawful, and refused to go along. In response, policeman Tomer Elias pulled out a taser gun and threatened to use it against Bar On, even though Bar On had used no force against the policemen.   

Bar On was eventually handcuffed and taken to the police station, where he was charged with attacking Elias...

Bar On denied the charge and said Elias was deliberately harassing him for fear that Bar On would file a complaint against him. He was then locked up all day and cuffed during a large part of the time.

NGO Honenu that assisted Bar On said: "It appears that the police have decided to use the tools their disposal to get revenge on a person whose guilt they were not able to prove. This is a scandal."

Public Declaration

"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain" (Isaiah 11:9)

End the Persecution of Jews on the Temple Mount!

We are shocked to learn that Jews, who ascend to the permitted areas of the Temple Mount in accordance with the rulings of their rabbinic authorities, are maltreated by the Israeli Police. It is incomprehensible that the State of Israel, which defines itself as "Jewish and Democratic", would act most un-Jewish and un-Democratic by implementing policies of harassment and discrimination against Jew's who ascend the Temple Mount!


After investigating the claims of those who regularly ascend to the Temple Mount: We find the Israeli Government guilty of implementing and enforcing the following policies that violate both civil and Torah principle!

• Only Jews must wait in a special security line before entering the Mount

• Only Jews must show their ID's before entering the Mount

• Only Jews are subject to special "ritual item searches" before entering the Mount

• Only Jews are divided into groups when ascending the Mount and are forbidden from walking on the Mount alone

• Only Jews are followed and filmed by both Israeli police and representatives of the Muslim religious authority (aka. WAKF) during their entire stay on the Mount

• Only Jews are arrested for crimes, including the following: praying; learning Torah; holding religious books; wearing tallit or tefilin  closing eyes, swaying;  bowing; singing; dancing, ripping ones shirt in mourning for the Temple or picking up dirt to be placed of the forehead of a groom

• Only Jews are prevented from ascending the Mount more than once a day

We the undersigned, call upon the Israeli Government to immediately end these policies, which contradict the most sacred values of the Jewish Nation. We will not stand silent as Jews are humiliated, the Torah denigrated and the Temple Mount betrayed at the hands of the Jewish State. The Government of Israel should remember that it was only 63 years ago that the British enacted such decrees against the Jews at the Western Wall. We call upon all Jews to protest this ongoing travesty of justice through every legal and democratic means possible.

We urge the Government of Israel to adhere to what is written, "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9)

I stressed the point that there is NO  CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD that destroys its own holy places and the homes of its inhabitants.    It is disgraceful and shameful that Israel's Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak, can unilaterally decide to destroy Jewish homes that he deems "illegal." As was discovered in Migron, after three homes had been cruelly destroyed, when the case finally got to the courts the Arabs who claimed ownership had NO papers to prove their case, and indeed, did not even show up at the court to justify their claim.     Barak's claim that he must uphold the law is laughable, since thousands of illegal Arab homes are left untouched, while he diabolically destroys Jewish homes.   AFSI calls on Jews throughout the world, especially at this time of Chanukah, when courage and bravery are celebrated, to send emails, make phone calls, and send faxes to  MOD Ehud Barak. Let him know that our band of modern day Maccabees will not stand by silently while these atrocities occur.   Our message to PM Benjamin Netanyahu is to annex Judea and Samaria so that there is no question about the legality of these biblical areas that have always been, and remain, the heartland of Israel. memshala@pmo.gov.il; bnetanyahu@knesset.gov.il; pm_eng2@it.pmo.gov.il.   Barak: Full Steam Ahead for Demolitions by David Lev In an interview Thursday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak denied that he had acted on his own and ignored a deal to ensure that Ramat Gilad would not be demolished. "I can understand aiming for a compromise, but one way or another, illegal outposts will be taken down," Barak said. "Jews cannot settle on land whose ownership is disputed by Arabs." In its Friday edition last week, the Mekor Rishon newspaper reported that government minister had worked out a deal with Yesha Council chairman Danny Dayan to prevent the demolition of Ramat Gilad. According to the deal - which, reports this week said, is back on track - several structures on the Ramat Gilad hilltop would be moved several hundred meters to areas that are not claimed by Arabs; in return, the government would authorize the area as part of the city plan of Karnei Shomron, effectively turning the area into a new neighborhood for the town. The deal was also said to have been approved by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Barak did not express a public opinion on the deal, but according to the report, he decided on his own to quash the deal, and sent the army in to demolish the site early last week. The forces gathered at the Jitt junction, about five kilometers from Karnei Shomron, where Ramat Gilad is located. As the forces were gathering, hundreds of protesters gathered on Road 55, intending to block the advance of the forces to the site, which is on a hilltop, several hundred meters above the road. As tension mounted, several protesters entered the Binyamin army base adjacent to the town. According to Mekor Rishon, Barak called off the forces only after getting a phone call from a fuming Netanyahu, who was said to have been shocked at Barak's actions. Barak, for his part, said that the story was inaccurate, although he did not deny receiving a call from Netanyahu asking him to stop the evacuation. Regardless, he said, as far as he was concerned, any deals to prevent the demolition of Ramat Gilad, or any other question, were not his concern. "Our democracy demands the rule of law, and until the Attorney General approves these deals, the IDF will enforce the law, which is to remove outposts built on land claimed by Arabs. I am all for compromise, but the IDF will carry out the law as it is supposed to," Barak said.      The best way to send a message to the detractors of Israel in the media, the Administration, and the public is by joining AFSI and becoming active with AFSI's work.  As a member, you will receive all our email alerts as well as email copies of our renowned monthly publication, The Outpost.  See past editions.     Click here to Join Our Mailing List Visit us on Facebook & Twitter.

Rabbanim in Brooklyn taking the lead from the Conference of Presidents rather than from Torah

bs"d

bs"d

This is our conclusion  after numerous phone calls to local Rabbanim. 

With my encouragement, Shmuel Koenig, a resident of Flatbush, NY, a long time Eretz Yisroel Activist and a supporter of Neemanei Eretz Yisroel is busy making phone calls.  He is in the forefront of raising consciousness as per an innovative and different approach to the Middle East political scene.  He and I are promoting the possibility of a  Torah Autonomy in Judea and Samaria according to Torat Yisroel living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and harmony with Ahavas Yisroel as envisioned in Yeshayahu.  Yea right, I hear you say.  You guys are dreaming.  You are not grounded in the practical and reality of today's world.  

Our response to you is that when the Torah says " לא בשמים היא" that the Torah is not in the heavens but "בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו" for us to DO IT,  we takes these words to heart.  

Shmuel has been calling up the Rabbanim and educating them about recent happenings in Judea and Samaria whereby the government is harassing and demolishing Jewish Settlement in Judea and Samaria routinely and there are many more outposts slated for demolition.  The Jewish citizens living in these outlying budding communities, also know as outposts, Maachazim, are not adequately being protected either from the Arabs and very sadly often neither from the gov't of Israel and the civil administration under the military. They are literally relying on G-d's protections day by day.  That is reality and facts on the ground.

It is clear to us based on our discussions with the local Rabbanim that the Rabbanim in Flatbush, connected with Agudath Yisroel of America as well as other mainstream Jewish Organizations hold Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chairman of the Conference of President of Major Jewish Organizations in very high esteem.  "He is a good guy, a frum guy..," we are told over and over again.  "He is accomplished".  They rely on his good judgment to make such calls regarding Middle East politics and being overwhelmed with whatever is on their plate they generally feel that there is really nothing that they can  personally do about what is happening in Judea and Samaria. 

So they allow Malcolm Hoenlein and the Conference of Presidents to be in the Drivers seat so to speak.  

Where is the Conference of Presidents taking us?

Malcolm Hoenlein supports a 2 State Solution in principle.  He says he agrees with the Torah of course since he is a proud Orthodox Jew but he is  "realistic".  He makes it sounds like no one else is more knowledgeable than he.  No one is more capable and no one has better qualifications to address these very complicated issues facing the Jewish people.  He sees the broader picture and expects all reasonable Jews to rely on his judgement.  And the Jews do.  The Jewish media almost always puts him in a favorable light and he is a speaker in great demand attracting overflowing  crowds.

Along comes Newt Gingrich a non Jew who speaks truth that is consistent with the reality of Torah. Not only he but Michelle Backman and Rick Santorum all leading candidates of the Republican Party.  Let us not forget Mike Huckabee and John Bolton, John McCain and other leading Republicans who see a reality quite different from Malcolm Hoenlein and the Conference of Presidents.  They are avid Bible readers and take what the Bible says to heart.  They support Jewish Settlement in Judea and Samaria and do not support demolitions of these communities.  They courageously say that the Land of Israel is Promised to the Jewish People and the Palestinians are not the rightful occupiers.   They do not speak of painful concessions.  They know what G-d says in the Torah as per who is the Chosen People for the Land of Israel.  The Jews are. They sincerely believe that the peace and prosperity of the world is dependent on keeping the Word of G-d and supporting the Jewish People and their rights to the Land of Israel. 

Yet still the Jews go in darkness following a Jewish leader whose actions remind us of the Misyavnim rather than the  Maccabeem. 

Please read the following post by Lori Lowenthal Marcus and her dismay at the recent National Service honor awarded Amb. Susan Rice by the Conference of Presidents.  Susan Rice like Malcolm Hoenlein knows how to speak to Jews. Jews are hypnotized into believing that they are on their side.  

Actions defines reality more than politically correct and empty words.

NCJA Aghast at Award Given to US UN Amb. Susan Rice 
by Mainstream American Jewish Leadership Consortium

For Immediate Release
December 19, 2011
Lori Lowenthal Marcus 610.664.1184

The National Conference on Jewish Affairs (NCJA) released the following statement today:

The US Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice,slammed Israel in a speech at the UN Security Council that was watched by the entire world last February.  Although Rice entered the US veto against a Security Council Resolution condemning Israel building homes in areas Israel captured in a defensive war in 1967 - and this only after the US offered to sign a non-Resolution statement with the same message - Rice then conveyed in the strongest possible way both orally and with body language, that she believed the building of Jewish homes in those areas is an international crime, is the basis for the mistrust of the Arabs, and is the reason there is no peace in the region.  Rice said then that the US agrees "with fellow Council members - and indeed, with the wider world - about the folly and illegitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," but because signing on to the Resolution might lead to a hardening of the positions of both sides, the US "therefore regrettably" vetoed the Resolution.

That was February.  And yet the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations honored Amb. Rice with its National Service Award last week.  And in doing so, they allowed Amb. Rice to reinforce a current popular meme in this election season that President Obama has been the very best friend Israel ever had.  And when accepting the Award from a Jewish audience, in a private session, Rice pointed her vitriol at the halls in which she spends her official time - the United Nations.  Instead of treating Israel to a tongue-lashing, Rice instead called Israel's disgraceful treatment at the UN "relentless," "obsessive" and "ugly."  And indeed it is.  But Amb. Rice's own attitude towards Israel within those halls has not been that of a close ally, but instead a disdainful and detached fellow member, at best.

The National Conference on Jewish Affairs calls on Amb. Rice to use the words that seemed to come so easily to her before a Jewish audience, and repeat them in the building where she has joined the cacophonous condemnation of the Jewish State.  If she does so, perhaps then Rice will prove she deserves a service award from Jewish organizations which put the treatment of Israel before domestic partisan politics. 

The National Conference on Jewish Affairs is an umbrella organization of American Jewish leaders and groups which work to uphold the American Constitution and liberty, promote a strong and safe Israel and Jewish rights in the Land of Israel, initiate positive relations with our non-Jewish friends, protect our Jewish young people in educational institutions, and assert the rights and security of Jewish People across the globe.  NCJA is adamantly opposed to making concessions to terrorists in the Middle East or anywhere else across the globe.

New Gingrich unafraid to speak the truth. Analysis by Dr. Paul Eidelberg why aren't MK's speaking the Truth, additional comments by Robin Ticker why aren't Rabbanim speaking the Truth

bs"d

New Gingrich unafraid to speak the truth.  Palestinians an invented people

Analysis by Dr. Paul Eidelberg:

Another Cover-up?

Newt Gingrich had the courage and intellectual integrity to say that the Palestinians are an "invented people." This being so, he cannot in good conscience advocate a "two-state solution" to the conflict between this invented people and the Jewish people of Israel.

Gingrich knows that the "Palestinians" have been led by terrorists. He knows that a large majority of these so-called Palestinians have supported these terrorist, the murderers of Jewish men women, and children.  They voted for arch terrorist Yasser Arafat knowing full well of his genocidal objectives. And they voted for Arafat's  accomplice and successor Mahmoud Abbas, who praises Arab suicide bombers as "martyrs."

But there is one truth that Gingrich (understandably) did not dare reveal, namely, the complicity of every Israel prime minister since the 1993 Israel-PLO Agreement.

 

Each and every one of these prime ministers has known, and has covered up, the hoax of a "Palestinian" people.  This fact logically entails another: these prime ministers are at least morally and politically responsible for the 10,000 casualties Jews have suffered as a result of that fraudulent agreement with the PLO.

Also blameworthy is the failure of any Israeli pundit or journalist to draw out the plain implications of the Gingrich exposé which reveals, as indicated, the complicity of Israeli governments: their unconscionable failure to expose the hoax in question, which has inflicted so much suffering on the Jews of Israel.  

I would have thought that more than one perceptive pundit in Israel would have called for a national commission of inquiry into the implications of the Gingrich revelation to determine whether any Israeli prime minister may be held criminally liable for the hoax under discussion.

Is another cover-up being orchestrated by Israel's ruling elites? 

In the next email Paul writes:

Are you wondering why Jewish Members of the Knesset have been mum regarding New Gingrich's revelation about the "invented people"?  Indeed, the best and brightest of the MKs can be expected to remain silent about that fictitious people because if any Jewish MK were to say a word so much as hinting at the validity of Gingrich's exposé, he would jeopardize his own political career, for he might then be asked: "Why did you fail to tell the truth about that fictitious people years ago, when you might stopped the fraudulent peace process which has cost Israel so many Jewish lives and precious Jewish land— and with no end in sight?"  The On-going Conspiracy of Silence

In the next email Dr. Eidelberg adds.

Those threatened by expulsion should organize a movement to expose the inherently undemocratic nature of Israel's system of government and how it  serves the personal  and partisan interests of the ruling elites. The Gingrich expose clearly indicates, and I have personal knowledge to illustrate, that Israel's government always knew that the |Palestinians were an "invented people,' but covered up this hoax not only out of cowardice but for secular reasons: they wanted to shatter and demoralize the religious community whose birth rate signaled the end of secular control of the State. 

      Meanwhile,as a result of the cover up and the government's deliberate policy of restraint against Arab terrorists--i.e., members of the  "invented people"--the so-called Palestinians--we suffered some 10,000 Jewish casualties (killed and wounded), and of course we lost Jewish land because of this  cover-up,

      This is the message that needs to publicized loud and clear every day and in every forum. Consult my articles on the subject--organize, and go on the offensive. And keep in mind how the political SYSTEM precludes accountability, and fosters |prime ministerial government (a soft form of despotism), and offer the constructive alternative set forth in my books and articles--and in Hebrew, Russian, and English.

Questions and answers by Robin Ticker

My question remains

Q: Why don't the rabbanim speak the truth????? Why didn't the Hesder Yeshivot (institutions that combine army training with religious education)instruct the Chayalim (soldiers) under their tutelage that they must refuse orders to destroy homes and throw fellow Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria as did Rav Melamed of Har Bracha? 

A: They are dependant on Israeli gov't stipends. Their are at risk of losing their Yeshivas financing

Then my question is:

Q: Why aren't the Rabbanim in Chutz LeAretz, the Diaspora, speaking the truth like Newt Gingrich, an American? 

 A:  Because it goes back to the Chait HaMiraglim, Sin of the Spies, whereby they would then have to admit that our place is in Eretz Yisroel and not Chutz LeAretz, the Diaspora.  Easier to say "Nisht Inzere Sugia", which translates it's really not our business.  

Q:  Maybe they are right and since we live in the Diaspora it is none of our business..  After all, our boys don't fight in the IDF and risk their lives like the Israeli's

A: The Torah was not given in Eretz YIsroel. It was given on Har  Sinai outside of Eretz Yisroel. Therefore, our Divine Heritage is not dependent on being a citizen of the State of Israel but rather on whether we are descendant from the Avot, Avraham Yitzchok and Yaakov Avinu.  So it is as much our Sugia, our business, as it is those who are Israeli citizens.

Q: But still we are not living in the Land of Israel?

A: Rabbi Nachman of Bretzlev says "Wherever I travel, I travel to the Land of Israel".  Therefore, no matter whether we are, be it in Brooklyn, NY or in Australia,  our mindset is still must be Eretz Yisroel, 

Let us ask ourselves, 

Q:Why is Newt Gingrich, and American running for President of the USA speaking the truth about the Palestinians? 

A: Because he cares about America.  He knows that only the truth of the Bible and G-d's Divine will brings peace and prosperity to mankind.  

Q: Why is he not afraid of the backlash?  

A: Because he is even more afraid of living the lie and the consequences of this lie overtaking America.  He is backed by Bible believers who also know the truth by reading the Bible.

Q: Why there is so much antisemitism in the world today?

A:  First let me preface my answer with whom not to ask this question.  Don't ask Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations,  the Jewish expert on antisemitism. Malcolm Hoenlein's support for Oslo and Annapolis and a 2 State solution is part of the problem, the lie. Malcolm will not provide us with a solution. It's a conflict of interest for him. If he would really help solve anti-semitism in the world, he would be out of a job. There would longer be a need for an expert on anti-Semitism.  

(Not to worry Malcolm. If you speak the truth like Newt Gingrich, true your job might become obsolete.... but don't despair.  You can easily change  professions. You would make a fine Rebbe and  can always become expert in Torah whose reward in the world to come far exceed any profits, prestige or money accrued in your present day profession. Surely, that will also help your insomnia and sleepless nights worrying about the state of the world because of the growing anti-semitism. )

A: It is my opinion that Jews are at fault for anti-semitism.  We created a Chillul Hashem - a void regarding G-d's Name and His Divine Will.   Anti-Semitism grows as we Jews refuse to state and act on the truth. We knew the truth and still know the truth yet we are either apathetic or act in ways contrary to this knowledge of truth from G-d.  For example, the government of Israel (GOI), representing the Jewish people, continue to demolish budding Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.  The Government of Israel (GOI) continues to allow unchecked illegal Arab building.  We continue to allow hate education in  Arab textbooks and we allow their elementary schools and other educational institutions  be named after suicide bombers.  We negotiate with terrorists and live the lie that they have legitimacy and that if we surrender our Land they would be peaceful.  

Case in fact:  Had we Jews faced the truth early on and addressed the leadership of the Palestinian Authority, before the leadership of CAIR transplanted itself from the Middle East to the United States, wouldn't America be a safer place today?

Conclusion:  When Israel and the Rabbinic Leadership and the people of Israel publicly proclaims the truth and acts on it, anti-semitism will dissipate and the world will be a better place.

Q: Simplistic?

A: Yes but it's Emunah Peshuta.  It requires the simple belief of a child reading the Torah that G-d keeps His Promises and Covenant to Mankind and to the Jewish People.

IDF not defending Judea and Samaria and Barak and Aharonovich have the chuzpa to declare the youth of Judea and Samaria terrorists. Dare we suggest an alternative?

bs"d

Dear Hesder Yeshivot and Members of the Knesset, 

FIDF (Friends of the IDF) is cc'd

Do not dare to suggest recommendations of an alternative way to defend the citizens in Judea and Samaria in light of the recent escalations of attacks by the IDF and Arabs on Judea and Samaria.  Do not dare to raise awareness of the failure of the IDF to do their job in defending the residents of Judea and Samaria.  It will only  bring forth accusations of creating strife and provoking a civil war by the leftist media and unfortunately also by Yesha leaders, rabbanim and Knesset members (all on the payroll) who collaborate with the government.

Logic concludes that the opposite is true.  Because if the State succeeds, chas Veshalom, in expelling Jews from Judea and Samaria, it puts the entire Israel into real danger.  The people would then have good reason to hate their fellow Jew and good reason to start a civil war.  For the people in Judea and Samaria and their supporters it's a matter of survival, for the entire Israel, the entire world, and not only for Judea and Samaria..

Halvai, the Hesder Yeshivot would insist that their soldiers not be allowed to expel Jews from their homes, and stand firm in their Torah principles.  Halvai Hesder Yeshivot unite with Generals and Army professionals of the same mindset in support of the settlement youth and for their justified right, and by extension the right of all Israelis to being protected by the State of Israel. 

Perhaps we should prosecute the Civil Administration under the Military,  for settlement bashing?.  Yea, right....who expects any justice from a Judicial system that self appoints leftists as judges and is above the law.  

If the Hesder Yeshivot would stand firm for Torah and put Torah before IDF orders, the State would have no choice but to back down because they would lose their best and committed soldiers.  They would have no choice because that is the desire of the vast majority of Jews living in Israel.

With leaders of the IDF who defame the character of their best and their most loyal, it should be the Halacha to go against the IDF when they insist on immoral orders such as expelling Jews from their homes. 

What happened to Rav Melamed when he dared speak out strongly for Torah.  Did Hesder Yeshivot back him up?  Not when they were at risk of losing their stipends. Not by Rabbanim who collaborated with the Police in the Geirush. He was marginalized,defamed, and his Yeshiva was thrown out of the Hesder Yeshiva System.  The Hesder Yeshivot agreed with him but did not back him up.  They were too worried about their stipends.  They did what was politically correct at the time.

So the Hesder Yeshivot turned the other way and allowed this evil to fester. Now face the consequences. Look at what they are saying about your students who agree with the "hilltop youth".  I am sorry to report that you are teaching a bunch of friends of terrorists or terrorists themselves who deserve to be killed. Try to explain that one to your students.  Surely it will win you much respect. But wait...That makes you the teachers of terrorists!  OMG

• Op-Ed: Army Base Incident: Media Reports are Exaggerated
• Rabbi Eliezer Melamed makes clear in response to an inquiry that the media reports concerning violent incidents in the Shomron are an example of the media's notorious hyperbole.

• Barak Ousts Rabbi Melamed's Yeshiva from 'Hesder' Program

• Is the IDF Allowing the PA to Take over Judea and Samaria?
• The Civil Administration, an arm of the IDF, plans to solve charges of bias in favor of illegal Arab buildings – by defining them as legal.
• Former Defense Minister: IDF Should Have Killed Vandals
• Former Defense Minister Industry Binyamin Ben-Eliezer says the IDF should have shot to kill youth who raided an IDF base Monday night.

The Almighty State of Israel

Prof. Paul Eidelberg

 

Modern Israel is referred to as a "State" as well as a "Democracy"; and of course public life in this so-called democratic state is dominated by "politics."  But to practice "politics" in Israel, or to conceive of Israel as a "State" or as a "Democracy," is to enter a world of thought, action, and passion utterly foreign to the Torah and out of place in the Holy Land.  I shall limit this inquiry to the concept of the "State," and I will show that insofar as the power of this state is virtually unlimited, it borders on fascism and sometimes crosses that border.

 

Alfred North Whitehead, the great gentile philosopher and mathematician, wisely said, "The Jews are the first example of [a] refusal to worship the state."  The reason is this.  The "State," like the city of Babel, manifests the self-glorification of man.  The State is wholly a human product, based on the autonomy of human will.  The principle, l'état c'est moi, may be traced to Machiavelli's Prince, from which we learn that the laws of the state depend solely on the will of the sovereign, be it the One, the Few, or the Many.  This idea of the State is fundamentally opposed to the Torah's conception of Israel. 

 

Israel is supposed to be a non-sovereign state created by God to be the teacher of mankind.  Perhaps this explains why Israel today, by using foreign concepts, often fails to act like a sovereign state.  Notice how Israel relies on Washington to mediate conflicts with Arab neighbors.  This may not seem unreasonable, until we recall that Israel's government invested the CIA and the American State Department with the power to supervise PLO compliance with the Wye River Memorandum!

 

It would seem that Israel cannot act as a normal sovereign state.  Or as the prophet Ezekiel says:  "That which comes into your mind shall not be at all; in that you say, We shall be as the nations ..." (20:32).  What is there about the Sovereign State that Israel cannot readily or comfortably assimilate?

 

The State is ever seeking to concentrate all power in itself, and this is usually at war with family life and family loyalties.  Indeed, one may see in history a fundamental conflict between the State and the family.  Israel, however, is supposed to be, more than any other, a nation of families with a godly mission. Unlike the State, which pursues power, wealth, and glory, the family, the nucleus of a God-oriented community, honors the pursuit of wisdom and virtue. 

 

Consider America, ostensibly a benevolent state. The permissiveness fostered by the Judicial and Legislative branches of this liberal or secular democratic state is a constant assault on family values—an assault now augmented by America's Executive branch of government under the Statism of Barack Obama.  

 

Notice the apparent contradiction: permissiveness on the one hand, Statism on the other.  But this Statism is at the service of permissiveness. In fact, this permissiveness is actually a consequence of the State's arrogating to itself the power to decide the question of morality, even while insisting that it is not the function of the state to legislate morality! 

The State's laissez-faire attitude toward morality is itself a decision not to support traditional morality, which is tantamount to granting a license to a new morality, which, from the traditional perspective, is nothing but immorality. That decision constitutes a subtle but tremendous exercise of power, for it has subverted the long-established morality of the Bible, a precondition of family life and of what families most cherish. 

          This subtle war against family morality is occurring in the Land of Israel.  As may be seen in my book, The Myth of Israeli Democracy, Israel's Supreme Court, influenced by American jurisprudence, has legalized homosexuality and same-sex marriage—now on the agenda of Barack Obama, who therefore is neither a Muslim nor a Christian but a neo-pagan. 

           Neo-paganism, which is conspicuous in Hollywood, is on public display in Jerusalem, in its annual Gay Parade, whose legal justification may be found in the permissive rulings of Israel's Supreme Court.  But what enables the Court to issue such rulings—which violate 3,500 years of Jewish history and morality—is not simply the Court's ultra-secular agenda, but the palpable fact that the Court is an organ of the all-powerful State of Israel.

            When we utter the word "State," we have in mind an entity possessing a monopoly of power. But the power of the State of Israel is extraordinary. There is not a single state among the world's 88 democracies whose power over its own people equals that of the so-called democratic State of Israel. Where in the world is there a democratic State that has expelled 10,000 of its own citizens from their homes, destroyed their schools, their places of worship, their cemeteries, their community centers, their farms and factories?   And where in this world is there a State whose leader has arrogated to his government the authority to commit the same unspeakable crime, only now to 300,000 human beings as if they were cattle? 

           I am appalled by the absence of outrage among academics and journalists, who gloss over this crime. I am dismayed by academics and journalists, who, out of ignorance or insouciance, have failed to say that this crime sullies the State of Israel with the taint of FASCISM.  I am horrified by the fact that academics and journalists do not denounce this State's in the clearest terms, that its territorial polices show no serious concern for the heritage and therefore the future of the Jewish people. 

 But such is the power of this almighty State that it can betray the heritage of the Jewish People with impunity. It is the only State in history that has voluntarily surrendered land its peoplerepossessed in a war of self-defense against Arab despots. It is the only State in history whose government supports the establishment of a hostile state on its people's own territory, indeed, in their very heartland. This almighty State has therefore arrogated to itself the power and authority to sever the bond between Israel's heartland and the sacred teachings and historical memory of the Jewish People!  The power of this State is cruel, tyrannical, beyond all reason and justice.

 

Hence this STATE, as a secular and undemocratic STATE. must perish for the PEOPLE of Israel to obtain a new birth of freedom.

 

 

Sincerely,

Robin Ticker
