Please read about this recent meeting called by Sheikh Farid Al -Jabari of Hebron! Four years ago, Jabari had prevented Palestinians and anarchists from destroying the Hazon David synagogue, a small outpost on the edge of Hebron. True we owe him a debt of gratitude for saving the shul. But how steep a price? We must not remain silent when he declares Hebron and Tel Aviv belongs to the Muslin World given to them by G-d!
Sheikh Farid al-Jabari of Hebron meets with Noam Arnon, Dovid Wilder, spokesmen of Hebron and Gershon Mesika and David HaIvri of the Shomron Liason Council, among others, whom Jabari hosted in an unusual gathering of Palestinians, settlers and conservative European parliamentarians on Thursday afternoon July 5,2012 in his large tent, set back from the road in the South Hebron Hills.and said
..."There won't be two states," he said, as he looked out at the surrounding hills through an open flap in the tent. It is not possible,
because Islam does not allow its followers to relinquish land, he said.
"In our religion, Tel Aviv is like Hebron," he said. The land belongs to God and the entire Muslim world, he said.
Uh Oh! Did the Jews who attended this meeting reply with the first Rashi of Breishit? Did they loudly proclaim that the Land belongs to G-d and He gives it the Jewish People on condition that we keep the Commandments? We demonstrate such with our obligation to keep the Mitzvah Shemittah.
Will Jabari and his people keep Shemittah? Not Relevant You Say??
The Torah is always relevant!
Shabbat Haaretz like the day Shabbat is only meant for Zera Yaakov, the seed of Yaakov, as we say in the Sabbath Shacharit prayer "And Hashem our G-d did not give the Sabbath to the nations of the lands, nor did Our King make it the inheritance of worshipers of idols, and also the uncircumcised will not be sheltered in its rest. For Your People Israel, G-d has given it with love, to the seed of Yaakov, whom You have chosen, the people that sanctifies the Shvii the Seventh, all of them will be satisfied and will be delighted from Your goodness, and the Shvil, the seventh, You were pleased with it and sanctified it, most coveted days, You called it, a remembrance of the act of Creation.
These words apply to Shabbat Haaretz and not only the day Shabbat as it says in Sefer VaYikra, Parashat Behar, Perek 26, Pasuk 2, the Torah tells us "Et Shabtotai Tishmoru UMikdashi Tirau." You should keep my Shabbats (in the plural).
Holiness, Sanctity is connected with the number 7. The Sabbath. The Military camp must be Holy as well. Sanctification, Kedusha, means that there is a unique and special relationship whereby others are excluded. Kiddushin, a marriage between man and his wife excludes all others. The Holy Temple was surrounded with guards. Shomrim. There was no trespassing of the designated camps of Israelites, Levites and Kohanim at the risk of death. The Priest and Levites were commanded to do guard duty day and night. The closer one got to the Holy of Holies, the greater the number of exclusions.
Shiekh Jabari is only repeating the lie perpetuated by the UN, by Obama, by the EU and even by Jews like the ones funded by NIF. . We know that the truth is that The Land belongs to G-d and G-d has given the Promised Land to the Chosen People, the seed of Yaakov based on G-d's Covenant with Yaakov, Yitzchok and Avrahom. G-d did not give the Land of Israel to the Muslims. In Selichos we say Vayikra 26 Pasuk (42) "Vezacharti as Brisi Yaakov, Veaf as Brisi Yitzchok, Veaf es Brisi Avraham Ezkor, Vehaaretz Ezkor". I will remember My Covenant with Jacob and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the Land. (43)The Land will be bereft of them; and it will be appeased for its sabbaticals having become desolate of them; and they must gain appeasement for their iniquity, because they were revolted by My ordinances and because their spirit rejected My decrees.
Our debate is as follows: Is the Land of Israel first a Democracy and then Jewish or is first Jewish and then a Democracy? Jabari wants it to be a Democracy first and then under this umbrella, let Jews and Muslims live in peace and harmony. This aint gonna work!!!!!! Deuteronomy 7:1-2, When the Lord…casts out many nations before you…make no covenant with them and give them no foothold…
For the same reason we can not allow Arabs to have equal voting rights. We can not allow Arabs to have guns in order to protect us.
All Jews whether they reside in Israel or the Diaspora, whether they are Secular, Religious or Chareidi must share the duties and honor of protecting the Land of Israel. In so doing, it must be a HOLY CAMP i.e. a HOLY Military Camp! How will drafting non Jews contribute to the Holiness of Israel's Military camp? Those who have recently built a house or planted a vinyard or betrothed a women and did not consecrate or is fainthearted are exempt. Otherwise it is an obligation especially in a Milchemet Mitzvah to be in the army. Surely we do not welcome any impostors who wish to do us harm.
