Another Tack: Lessons from the floating coffin by Sarah Honig 02/23/2012 http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Another-Tack-Lessons-from-the-floating-coffin 

The world's apathy-cum-enmity toward Jews hasn't disappeared, it has simply mutated.

 Exactly 70 years ago – on February 24, 1942 – 19-year-old David Stoliar terrifyingly clung to bobbing debris in the Black Sea. At first he heard screams in the frigid waters but the voices died down. It eventually emerged that Stoliar was the sole survivor of the Struma, an un-seaworthy vessel chuck-full of frantic Jewish refugees.

World War II was already in fever pitch. Against the enormity of the then-unfolding Holocaust, the loss at sea of 768 Jewish lives (103 of them babies and children) was at most blithely overlooked as a marginal annotation.

My comments: Chareidim don't want to be drafted into the army.  They call the Gov't of Israel Reshaim.  They have lost compass as per who the real Reshaim are.   They think America will welcome them with open arms.  They have forgotten why Jews need to be able to defend themselves.  I highly recommend that you go on this link http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Columnists/Another-Tack-Lessons-from-the-floating-coffin and print out a copy of this article about the Struma and show it to Belz Chassidim and to Satmar as well.  "Dimmed memory and self-destructive perverse morality hinder our ability to protect ourselves from the offspring and torchbearers of the very Arabs who doomed the Struma. They haven't amended their hostile agenda. We just don't care to be reminded.... The Struma's story is seminal in understanding why the Holocaust was possible and why a second Holocaust cannot be ruled out. More than anything, the Struma powerfully illustrates what happens when Jews rely on others' goodwill."

Is the Government of Israel the real Reshaim (evil)?  Decide for yourself after watching these links and youtubes. It is Lashon Hara and Motzi Shem Ra to suggest it. Hotzaat shem ra ("spreading a bad name"), also called hotzaat diba, consists of untrue remarks, and is best translated as "slander" or "defamation".

I admit.   I too have at times been critical of the Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Conference of Presidents.  However, let us please put things in their proper perspective.  Here is a Prime Minister clearly working to protect the Land of Israel and the Nation of Israel from destructive forces no less threatening and probably more so than the Nazi Regime.

Fwd: I PRETENDED I DID NOT SEE by Evelyn Hayes, Author of the Plague Series because their hearts were softened to accept the unacceptable.

bs"d

Dear Friends, Family, Activists for Israel, Activists for Kids, Activists for any righteous cause amv"sh

I hope this poem will inspire you to take action before tragedy strikes and hits closer to home. 

We don't need to go very far back in time, (our parents generation) to see the horrific tragedy and consequences of  pretending one didn't know or see the dark skies threatening the world and our people. Read the news. Ukraine, Iran, Benghazi, Turkey,  Fort Hood, Obamacare, 2 State Solution (they want a Final Solution...)

This also holds true as per how we respond to warning signs affecting family members or members of our immediate community, not only global terror.  When we ignore the wakeup call and we go on with our lives and pretend everything will miraculously fix itself and fail to act, this leads to great tragedy both to individuals and also for society.  

As an example let me quote Shlome Katz a father whose 3 year old son, was accidentally dragged by a school bus when the little boy's jacket got snagged in the automatic door.  (Mishpacha Story entitled "Steering a Safer Course" by Riva Pomerantz Issue 496, 5 Adar, 5774) . The byline reads  "Over and Over again.  Shlomi found himself visiting Shivah Houses of Accident Victims offering words of comfort even as their own wounds lay painfully open".  She writes "He and his wife gathered shards of their heartbreak and created a way to make Israel's notoriously dangerous roads safer for others".   Shlomi was quoted as saying "With education, you can change things around before tragedy strikes.  You don't have to wait for something terrible and then get a nice budget to effect change".

I PRETENDED I DID NOT SEE

By Evelyn Hayes,

Author of the Plague Series because their hearts were softened to accept the unacceptable.

© February 24, 2014

I pretended I did not see.

I pretended I did not hear.

I pretended I did not know.

 I pretended I wasn't there.

I pretended I was not we.

And I saw the bullying, the slandering, the intimidating, the vicious thuggery-

So smug and cruel

Against the rules.

I pretended it wasn't so bad.

I pretended there was some glad.

I pretended they were right.

I pretended majority means truth -so what if they are uncouth!

And I saw the ruthlessness, the abusiveness, the comradery against their ridiculed.

Shame, I wasn't a fool:

There was a duel against righteousness.

I pretended as their brazenness got more evil, inconceivable, more provocative, more distasteful, less lawful.

I pretended I was not responsible.

I pretended I was not irresponsible.

I pretended I was innocent Just a bystander

And I saw the sadness from their madness

And I saw the tears from the jeering, jabbing, jabbering, damaging demented actions.

And I saw no smiles nor gladness, just stress and strain, loneliness, loss,

 from such cruelty without restraint.

And when  I thought, "So Shameful" It was too late.

The pain had been too great.

It was too late.

Because of the meanness of those ravaging against correctness,

a royalty for such a comradery created  such dejectedness

And I reflected: I could have interfered

And there would have been another fate

A better act than hate.

But I had failed to react

And I cried, tried to hide that I could have done something.

I could have been a righteous friend

And not let there be such an end to innocence, uniqueness, blessedness, dreams so grand. 

I could have stopped the recklessness, the offensive. Oppressive. Massiveness, divisiveness of a misguided majority 

riding on the power of disempowerment for an unheavenly stake.

If only I had done what I could, what I should have done

Against what I saw, heard, witnessed, knew…

I pretended and now I know I am guilty too.

I would have made a difference if not pretending indifference.

I pretended, but I was aware

And I cared but did nothing

And the victim is now nothing, is no more. Is no more.

I failed the test of reaction, action.

I did not give support. I did not retort. I did not report the crime.

I did not fight for right.

I did not make an alliance against noncompliance, violence, wrong.

I failed the test.

Will I be next?

re: Action Alert. My letter to Kerry

  bs"d  

 (United Coalition for Israel had a great one as well but I decided to write my own so they get a variety of letters) Friends, you can send your personal letter via UCI *United Coalition for Israel

CLICK HERE to send the sample letter below or edit the letter as you wish. 

by voices@unitycoalitionforisrael.org..    

Dear Secretary of State Kerry,

Ones Heritage by definition cannot be given away.  Our Land, the Land of Israel is called "Morasha", a Heritage.  Netanyahu or members of his government have no right to make any deals to give the Land away since it does not belong to Netanyahu nor to the gov't of Israel. That is why you can not force him to give parts of the Land away.  The only one you can try to convince is G-d himself.  The Land actually belongs to the Creator of the World and He and He alone decides to whom He wishes to bequeath the Land.  The Bible, aka as the Torah is quite clear as per who G-d considers the rightful caretakers to be. The boundaries of the Land of Israel are clearly delineated and Judea and Samaria is unquestionably withing the delineated boundaries.  G-d's Promise and the Covenant He established individually with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob our forefathers was to take the Land from the Canaanites and to give it as an everlasting Heritage to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is for this reason the Land of Israel is commonly called "The Promised Land". 

It is for this reason that all your efforts and the efforts of the Obama Administration to make peace in the Middle East  via establishing a Palestinian State is futile and has only resulted and will continue to result in an increase of  terror and rocket and missile attacks aimed at civilians killing innocent people, men, women and children, Jews and non Jews alike.  

Arabs under Jewish Sovereignty, who wish to be under Jewish Sovereignty have it very good.  Israel is not racist nor apartheid.  They protect their residents so long as their residents are peaceful and willing to be living under  Jewish Sovereignty peacefully.  

The living standards, education, life expectancy, medical care are greatly enhanced from what they are accustomed to under Muslim regimes. However, if they are not happy residing under a Jewish Sovereign Nation in spite of all the material and humanitarian benefits, they are free as far as Israel is concerned, to leave and settle  elsewhere.  There are many Muslim and Arab Nations to choose from.  The problem probably is that the 22 Arab countries, probably closer to their own ancestry, are unwilling to absorb them.  That is something that should be addressed.  Why should Israel absorb a population that is hostile to its very existence? Shouldn't families take care of their own rather than demand that others do it for them. Many of the Palestinian Arabs trace their lineage to specific clans.  Jews trace their ancestry to the 12 Tribes and welcome their brothers to Israel with open arms.  Palestinians refugees and their succeeding generations have suffered terribly not because of Israel.  Rather it's because their own people forced them a deprived life and blamed it all on Israel.  Jews absorbed their own refugees and the next generation, my generation are now fully absorbed and all independent, productive and on the giving end while UNRWA Palestinian refugee numbers have exploded to crazy exponential numbers always blaming Israel for their lot in life.

I hope you take this message seriously and refrain from pressuring Israel to give away it's birthright and force an expulsion of families  and communities who are living productive lives in homes that they rightfully own with a deed or contract.  How would you or others who are promoting this 2 State Solution like being called "occupiers" and then thrown out of your home and community with your family for no moral, legal or legitimate justification but rather because of some false, fabricated lie!   Not very much I would venture to say......

What Does a Bride On Her Wedding Day and Sapir Sabah do at the Mother's Vigil?

B"H

English Translation of Hebrew Arutz7 Article http://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/270350

What does a bride on her wedding day and Sapir Sabah do at the mother's vigil?

On Wednesday, activity in the tent of the vigil with the motto "The Mothers say YES to Israeli Sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley" continued to gain momentum. Many public figures came to the tent today as well. Mothers from throughout the land came to express solidarity.

The surprise of the day was when Sapir Sabah arrived with her mother Nurit directly from the Knesset. Sapir displays leadership ability. She does not accept the results of the hearing for her teacher of Jewish Philosophy, who criticized the IDF and its soldiers saying that our army is not ethical and that this land is not ours. "I would give up if he was sorry and had expressed regret, but he continues his incitement".

Next came Rebbetzin Shani Taragin, who, in honor of the month of Adar, brought biblical references to sovereignty from the Scroll of Esther, from the passage "Each person rules in his house". The passage implies that the People of Israel must be sovereign in its Land. The lesson ended with the connection between Joshua's conquest and Purim. Just as the Holy One, blessed be He, aided Joshua in girding himself to be courageous, so the Holy One, blessed be He, will help if we make an effort and take initiative.

There was a surprise awaiting MK Moti Yogev of the Bayit HaYehudi (Jewish Home) party after he finished his words of blessing and solidarity to the organizers, and spoke about the importance of applying sovereignty over the entire Land of Israel. A bride in a white dress came to the tent, who wanted to enter the wedding canopy only after having done a deed for the national home,  before building her private home.

The bride is Efrat Leshem, the granddaughter of the Ganiram family, who are among the founders of communities in Hebron and the Golan Heights.

If, even on the day of her wedding, a bride sees fit to take part in the national struggle, then the People of Israel will surely be victorious.

During the evening Yochai Dimri, the new, energetic head of the Council of South Hebron came to the tent, as well as MK Moshe Feiglin, Rebbetzin Lior, Rabbi Yisrael Dorminetzer from the Jordan Valley with his family, Rabbi Haim Greenspan and Sarah Eliash.

The vigil, organized by Women in Green in cooperation with Matot Arim and Professors for a Strong Israel, continues on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
