Naftali Bennett vs Zehava Gal-On

bs"d


Dear Knesset Ministers amv"sh

Bli Ayin Hara!

I am now in Israel after not having been here for several years.  I am amazed at the unbelievable progress this country has made in just a few years.  Israel should be proud of her accomplishments!

  • The light rail of Jerusalem makes the New York Subway and bus transportation system pale in comparison.
  • How many trains in 22 Arab countries and modern western countries for that matter have automated station announcements and digital route displays in 3 Languages as does the light rail. (Hebrew, Arabic and English).
  •  The mall in Beit Shemesh is dazzling compared to the mall in Brooklyn.  I didn't get to the malls in Jerusalem yet. 
  • The food is plentiful and delicious and the supermarkets are filled with every kind of produce imaginable. The restaurants here are unbelievable.  It's nonstop eating and thanking Hashem for the wonderful Land and the delicious food!
  • Jerusalem  - the old and the new at its very best  (today I saw the excavations of Ir David where we walked way down into the the valley to the Gihon Spring.) Ancient Hebrew script writings were unearthed, carved in Bullae, (clay seal impressions), that bear the names of peoples who lived in the 1st Temple period and are mentioned in the Bible.
And the world calls Israel the Occupiers?

Why in earth shouldn't Jews  in Israel live under Palestinian Authority?  Please check out this link.



Naftali Bennett, who just came back from Poland with other Knesset members, sees matters clearly. He said that the Arabs want to kill us and we know that because we've been there.  (let me add that PMW http://www.palwatch.org/ can convince you as well.  No need even to travel to Poland but it does help to drive the point home to see the actual crematoria site).

I and others are very happy Naftali Bennett is raising these points and does so in spite of expected and  typical, delegitimization, defamation of character, baseless name calling by the likes of people on the left who have an agenda and who don't want to know or hear facts. Case in point.  Zehava Gal-On of Meretz.

On Facebook she sarcastically puts down Netanyahu for allowing Bennett  freedom of expression, as  "spineless" and labels Bennett himself as "not worthy of being a minister, a class delinquent, hysterical, one who curses, government trasher, spitting out violent and repulsive statements, compared to Hezbollah".  

Rather an impressive and comprehensive list of sarcasm and putdowns  in one sentence.  One can conclude that Zehava recommends that Netanyahu act more like a dictator and tyrant, and advises him to fire ministers who disagree with government policy no matter how suicidal. That apparently is her idea of a "strong" leader with a spine. 

Perhaps she is not worthy of being a minister? 

Why doesn't Zehava Gal-On actually address any of Bennetts points instead of merely spewing hateful putdowns and name calling? 

Meretz leader Zehava Gal-On responded to Bennett's speech by saying he was not worthy of being a minister, and that Netanyahu should fire him.
"Can it be that Netanyahu decided to escape and hide in Davos?" she wrote on Facebook. "He definitely left his spine there, otherwise it is not clear how he lets Naftali Bennett, in the role of class delinquent, rave hysterically, curse, trash the government and spit out violent and repulsive statements that are more suited to a Hezbollah spokesman than an Israeli minister.. 

Let me add the following.  Maybe the Arabs who wish us dead are simply G-d's messengers. When Jews do not appreciate G-ds Promise and Gift to the Jewish people, the Land of Israel,  we risk being at the receiving end of curses rather than the receiving end of blessings chas veshalom.

Ministers who are proud to claim our Jewish Heritage must be commended! 

Here are some quotes attributed to Bennett from the same Jerusalem Post link. I would advise you read the link in its entirety.

Jews cannot live under Palestinian sovereignty for the simple reason that if they do they will be killed, he said.

Not only did Bennett not back down from criticisms he sounded Monday against
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's suggestion that the settlements may
remain under Palestinian sovereignty in a future agreement, but he ratcheted
up his criticism.

"It will not happen, and cannot happen," Bennett said of the idea. "You know
why Jews can't live under Palestinian sovereignty? Why? Because they will
kill them. How do I know, because it happened."

Bennett said it happened in 1929 in Hebron, when the ancient Jewish
community there was butchered by their Arab neighbors, and it happened again
in 2000 when two reservists made a wrong turn and were lynched after being
taken to the Palestinian Authority police station in Ramallah.

Everyone knows, he said, that if an Arab wanders into to Herzliya he will
leave safely, but that if a Jew gets lost and ends up in Jenin he will be
killed.

"We all came here to the land of Israel in the name of Zionism," he
declared. "The essence of Zionism is sovereignty. If there is no sovereignty
there is no Zionism."

He said that placing Jews under foreign rule would be a Zionistic U-turn.

"We tried it in Europe, and it did not really work," he said, just an hour
after getting back from what he said was his first trip to Poland and
Auschwitz as part of a Knesset delegation.

In my opinion  -  Intolerable Acts of the 13 Colonies (taxation w/o representation) were way less problematic than Intolerable Acts in Judea and Samaria (threat of being killed) yet they justified the American Revolution. Think about it!

I suppose that many leftists would have nice choice words to say about me and my opinion and I dare them to address the facts rather than taking the route of those who have no case and resort to name calling.   


Sincerely,

Robin Ticker

Apologies...Maybe Yaalon should apologize to Aish Kodesh (and Hashem) for uprooting 6 year old fruit bearing Olive Trees causing a near lynching instead of to Kerry. Maybe Omni and Gilad Sharon should apologize retroactively for the pain and suffering of the Disengagement.

bs"d


Defense Minister: Kerry is 'Obsessive and Messianic'



Yaalon Apologizes : I Didn't Intend to Offend Kerry

Following public storm over his comments, Defense Minister says he had "no intention" of offending Secretary of State Kerry.

Op-Ed: What Really Happened at Eish Kodesh




אש קודש - בוגי יעלון הורס כ 20 דונם כרם זיתים באש קודש ב"צו שימוש מפריע"

Seeing is believing Youtube: Boogie Yaalon Destroys 20 Dunam of an Olive Vineyard  (couple hundred olive trees that were about 6 years old and gave fruit) in Aish Kodesh authorized by "Disruptive Use" Order.
"Disruptive use" orders allow the Civil Administration to seize land from Israelis in Judea and Samaria based on complaints from Palestinian Arabs, whether or not there is any evidence that those complaining own the land – or, in fact, that anyone owns the land.

Esh Kodesh Spokesman Reveals Truth Of Kusra Clash

Aron Katzov, spokesman of the Samarian community, tells how Jews were attacked far away from Kusra, IDF destruction led to attack."The army came and uprooted about 20 dunam, a couple hundred olive trees that were about 6 years old and gave fruit," reported Katzov, himself an officer in the IDF reserves. The destruction came despite the fact that "the army and the courts already ruled that it's not Palestinian land."

The reason for the destruction is the "disruptive use order," which Katzov calls a "weird law." 

Only in Judea and Samaria "one person, the legal adviser of a part in the army, can decide on any part of land that belongs to Jews, and only Jews, to uproot, even if there's no one else that says it's their land," explains Katzov, adding that they weren't even informed of the decision before the destruction.

Katzov reports that after every destruction emboldened Arabs come to attack Jewish property, bragging on Facebook that the army is giving them the land. Katzov recalls having to defend the fence of his vineyard from one such attack.

Residents of Esh Kodesh have reported previous attacks originating in Kusra, including a mob attack in 2012 in which hundreds of Arab men surrounded the village screaming "slaughter the Jews."

Video Shows Abducted Jews; Feiglin: 'Ya'alon to Blame'

Documentation of Jews abducted by Arab mob in Samaria; Feiglin attacks Ya'alon's orders of vineyard destruction that led to ambush.

Feiglin in response: Join Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit - Zo Artzeinu this Friday in Aish Kodesh as they co-sponsor a Major Tu B'shvat Tree-Planting Last week, the IDF destroyed 300 olive trees planted on Jewish land in Aish Kodesh. These trees - which had stood for 6 years - were not on disputed land and should have been left alone for the Jews to enjoy. Our answer is simple: You uprooted and destroyed 300 trees??? Two-for-the price-of-one: We will plant 600 NEW fruit trees!!! Come join us! Friday, 16 Shvat (Jan. 17th) 9:00 AM  Aish Kodesh is in the Shilo area. All are invited to attend and help with the tree planting!  For more information, contact Shmuel Sackett: shmuel@manhigut.org  If you cannot attend the tree planting but would like to participate, you can buy trees to be planted in Aish Kodesh. Click here to plant your trees today (and read about the planting of Argan trees  in the Negev as well).

Abbas vs Facts: Jews 'Weren't Attacked' In Kusra

Despite clear video evidence to the contrary, PA chair claims 'cultured' Kusra residents 'didn't hit' beaten and abducted Jews

To add insult to injury  After Beatings and near Lynching.....Jews detained and not Arabs.....Police perverting justice.

Attorney Slams Media 'Slander' of Abducted Jews

Itamar Ben-Gvir meets with Jews abducted and beaten by Arabs in Samaria; attacks IDF police complicity, media distortion of events.http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/176061#.UtZLpBBdVpt


Jerusalem Magistrate Court: Jews detained in Kfar Kusra incident to be released



Honenu reports that, "Unfortunately we are once again witnesses to a case in which the police detain the victims of an assault while the assailants and terrorists walk freely."

Another example of Police and the Police Investigation Unit (biased against Settlers) treating the Settler as the attacker....


Anyone who saw the video clip of the violent detention will now understand that the Police Investigation Unit is protecting policemen, authorizing violence by policemen and abandoning citizens.
Honenu will appeal the decision.

Talking about apologies.....This leads us to the debate whether we should speak disparagingly about Sharon after his death.  Naftali Bennett rebuked Orit Struk for her comments and she needed to issue a "clarification and apology".  After I read that, I concluded that Naftali Bennett doesn't have too many friends and relatives whose homes were bulldozed in 2005 nor facing possible bulldozing in a future expulsion chas veshalom. He just doesn't get it.  David Wilder, Orit Struk, Arlene Kushner, Helen Freedman...we get it. The purpose of MK Orit Struk's comments were not to pain the family of Ariel Sharon. It was obvious to me that they were rather directed to Netanyahu and to Yaalon.  Like Sharon, Netanyahu and Yaalon are perceived as right wingers.  Presently however, what happened in Aish Kodesh and documented many times over in the past as well, show them ultimately responsible for intolerable acts waged on the Settlers of Judea and Samaria. MK's Struk's comments was a warning and wake up call to them.   Sharon's final deeds is  placing a very negative spin on how he will be remembered and the Disengagement is very likely his legacy. Is that what they want for themselves as well?  Her comments were LeToeles (served a useful purpose, a preventive measure for future expulsions and intolerable acts) and not mere Lashon Hara (evil talk). 

Bennett: Struk's Comments on Sharon 'Very Serious'

Jewish Home chairman says that fellow MK Struk's comments on Sharon's death "should not have been made."

Economy Minister and Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett on Sunday said that remarks by MK Orit Struk of his party about the death of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon were "very serious".

"Indeed, the comments made by MK Orit Struk are very serious and should not have been made. I clarified the issue in a conversation with her. She issued a clarification and an apology. Let's save the controversies for another day," wrote Bennett on his Facebook page in response to a user who asked, "How much longer will we be waiting for a condemnation of Mrs. Struk's comments?"

In her reaction to Sharon's death, Struk had said, "The truth must be said: Sharon was one of the great builders of the land of Israel, and its greatest destroyer. Someone who knew to defeat terror, and someone who caused all the south of the country to be hit by terror. His great firmness and ability to decide and act enabled him to reach impressive achievements, as well as disastrous processes."

She added, "Alongside our thanks and honor of the great contributions of Sharon to the state of Israel, it is impossible not to also thank G-d, that Sharon was taken from our public lives before he managed to carry out on the residents of Judea, Samaria and the 'Judea Samaria belt' the disaster he conducted on residents of Gush Katif and the Gaza Strip."

Her remarks were met with outrage by many, including MK Karin Elharar (Yesh Atid), who wrote on her Facebook page, "Shame on you Orit Struk. As the State of Israel is mourning the death of a leader, MK Struk saw fit to get even. Her statements about the late Ariel Sharon serious hurt his family's feelings and the feelings of the Israeli public, who lost yesterday one of the most influential people on both its past and future."

Talking about apologies...



Batya Medad writes in her Blog:

" If Omri and Gilad had apologized for Disengagement in the name of their father, if they would have used their wealth and influence for the DP's, the displaced people, those torn from their homes, that would be a different story.  If Omri and Gilad would have admitted that Disengagement had been a terrible, dangerous mistake that we're unfortunately paying for and will pay for a long time more, then I'd feel more charitable and then the amcha would have come in the numbers the family had been expecting."

And finally,  I am waiting for the MOETZES GEDOLEI HATORAH and HESDER YESHIVOT and all Rabbanim whose job is to stand up for Torah, to demand an apology from the Israeli government for uprooting 300 Olive fruit bearing trees.  Clearly a Biblical violation.  

Let's all support Zo Artzeinu and send some Rabbinic representatives to Fridays' plantings with Manhigut Yehudit at Aish Kodesh and please be sure to take some nice photo ops.  This will publicize that planting trees in the Land of Israel is a Mitzvath Aseh, a positive Torah commandment  and uprooting fruit bearing trees is a Torah violation, a Mitzvah Lo Taaeh.

  Shame on you, Minister Yaalon!

Forget the sermons.  That would be the best and most truthful Tu Bishvat message ever especially preceding a Shemittah year!

Shmuel Koenig on Current Misconception About the Nature of the Jewish State

bs"d

I want to correct a current misconception about the nature of the Jewish state.

It is fashionable nowadays to say that Israel is a racist state.

Race has nothing to do with having a Jewish state.

Hashem has created the world and given the Land of Israel to the nation that observes Torah. We fulfill the destiny of the Land of Israel by keeping the Torah in that land.
 
Our rights to Eretz Yisrael are not derived from Theodore Herzl or from a need for security or democracy. Our rights are based on the Torah.
 
As the famous commentator on the Torah, Rashi states in commenting about the first verse in the Torah.
 
"IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH" that should someone come and claim that we stole the land, we should reply to them that God created the heaven and the earth and gave the Land of Israel to whom he chose (the children of Israel).
 
Anyone from any race can join us in observing Torah.
 
Bracha V'Hatzlacha,

Shmuel Koenig, Activist for Eretz Yisroel and lobbyist to Rabbanim to speak out for Torah Rights to the Land of Israel
