Positive Reflections: Trump's Middle East Trip: Visit to Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Vatican has brought Much Unity among the Nations of the World and Among Jews themselves!.

bs"d

I have tremendous admiration for what President Donald Trump accomplished in the last few days bringing the message of Unity and Peace.  President Trump focused on what unites Jews, Christians and Arabs and for that he has earned my greatest respect.  

In Saudi Arabia, in Israel with Abbas and with the Pope his message was consistent.... to fight evil. One sensed that it was not mere lip service but that it would be, and was being,  followed up with concrete action!

Ari Fuld from Standing Together, for example, is absolutely ecstatic about Trump's visit and his speech in the Israel Museum and in Bethlehem with Abbas. 
 http://www.jewishpress.com/blogs/sword-of-israel-ari-fuld/did-trump-just-say-what-i-think-he-said-video/2017/05/23/  He brings numerous quotes where Donald Trump clearly shows his true feelings towards Israel.  He points out that President Trump does not speak of Palestinian rights to Jerusalem or the Mosque or for a Palestinian State.  President Trump called for the cessation of rewarding terrorists in Bethlehem. He spoke of the Jewish eternal connection to Jerusalem.

Major US Jewish Organization Lauds Trump's 'Refreshing, Honest' Speech in Saudi Arabia

Major US Jewish Organizations on Left and Right Hail Trump's Israel Visit

I must acknowledge that for Jews to agree on something is quite an achievement even if  I personally was out of the consensus! 

As was posted on my blog, I was disappointed  that President Trump was not more forthright about G-d's Covenant with our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Israel's rightful claim to Judea and Samaria as a necessary precondition for real and lasting peace.  

I think I am a bit ahead of my time..
[Video] At the Israel Museum.  Netanyahu's Speech Was a Great Disappointment for Me. Trump's Speech as well. We need to look inward.... let me add now,  going step by step and with G-d's help we will triumph!

Having said this, I have come to terms with a higher Messianic goal not being realized.  I recognize that true redemption is a process and pushing things may have been counterproductive.  G-d only knows. 

I can see and acknowledge and agree with Ari Fuld that amazing progress was made this trip. My hopes and prayers, which I am sure is consistent with the Trump Administration,  are that we go from strength to strength towards true redemption, with peace and prosperity and without bloodshed. 

As Ari Fuld points out, President Trump speaks truth and never said anything to disagree with the Bible and the Prophets. 

It is the position of the Trump Administration apparently that there are things better left unsaid for the moment,  for the sake of peace.  

It is hard to dispute that Trump has unified the people with a global message that the world is capable of hearing and accepting. 

I have learned from Donald Trump the importance of delivering a message on the level of the people. His message is one of peace and unity and hopefully with G-d's help, a message that does not betray the G-d of Israel nor what is best for the Arabs.     
Fighting Nuclear Iran and ISIS and Radical Islamic Terror has brought  both Jew and Arab alike on the same team.  President Trump used that to his advantage to promote World Peace and make this world a safer place!  

The Prophesy of Redemption:

Yeshayahu - Isaiah - Chapter 2

1The word that Isaiah, son of Amoz, prophesied concerning Judah and Jerusalem.אהַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר חָזָה יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶּן אָמוֹץ עַל יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָם:
2And 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.בוְהָיָה | בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים נָכוֹן יִהְיֶה הַר בֵּית יְהֹוָה בְּרֹאשׁ הֶהָרִים וְנִשָּׂא מִגְּבָעוֹת וְנָהֲרוּ אֵלָיו כָּל הַגּוֹיִם:
3And 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.גוְהָלְכוּ עַמִּים רַבִּים וְאָמְרוּ לְכוּ | וְנַעֲלֶה אֶל הַר יְהֹוָה אֶל בֵּית אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְיֹרֵנוּ מִדְּרָכָיו וְנֵלְכָה בְּאֹרְחֹתָיו כִּי מִצִּיּוֹן תֵּצֵא תוֹרָה וּדְבַר יְהֹוָה מִירוּשָׁלִָם:
4And 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.דוְשָׁפַט בֵּין הַגּוֹיִם וְהוֹכִיחַ לְעַמִּים רַבִּים וְכִתְּתוּ חַרְבוֹתָם לְאִתִּים וַחֲנִיתוֹתֵיהֶם לְמַזְמֵרוֹת לֹא יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל גּוֹי חֶרֶב וְלֹא יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה:
5"O house of Jacob, come and let us go in the light of the Lord."הבֵּית יַעֲקֹב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאוֹר יְהֹוָה:


I found the following lecture by Rabbi Alon Anava very enlightening to help me come to terms with my disappointment :)

[Video] At the Israel Museum. Netanyahu's Speech Was a Great Disappointment for Me. Trump's as well. We need to look inward.... But going step by step and with G-d's help we will triumph!

bs"d

This was my initial reaction to President Donald Trump's Speech at the Israel Museum. After seeing the tremendous Unity it brought to Major US Jewish Organizations, I have reevaluated and my initial disappointment has turned also to gratitude. I recognize how truly valuable the trip had been in spite of not having yet achieved  the loftiest goals of the Messianic Era. 

Full text of Donald Trump's speech at the Israel Museum

'The ties of the Jewish people to this Holy Land are ancient and eternal,' says the visiting US president. 'They date back thousands of years...
http://www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-of-donald-trumps-speech-at-the-israel-museum/


This headline is accurate.  However, the recommended plan of action, a negotiated settlement between Israel and the Palestinians misses the point. It contradicts these very words.

Mr. President...This is G-d's Land not open for Negotiation.  Peace will come according to G-d's plan. Not Man's plan even when it is a plan of the benevolent President of the USA with the best of intentions. 

"What a Heritage!" Donald Trump says. Yet he wants to give it to the the Palestinians under the false notion of "Peace"?  Judea and  Samaria is Israel's Heritage. So is the Torah.  It is not the Heritage of Palestine which is mutually exclusive of Our Heritage, the Heritage of Israel.

"Never Again" can only happen when we obey G-d's command.  Not by ignoring it and doing what we think works. 

Mr. President... pushing for a 2 State Solution  is not "Standing With Israel".  Sorry.

Going in Peace is not the goal.  Going toward Peace and Heavenly Music is the goal.  

For a violinist to compromise for his violin to be placed in a prestigious Museum rather than to stay with him will not produce music and will not benefit mankind.  It will merely ensure that the violin is not broken to smithereens by those who hate music.. 

Our goal is Music.  Not mere cessation of war.

G-d keeps Israel safe much better than any Iron Dome.  Lets invest in G-d first and in his Word. Then we are ensured Peace as it says in the Prophets 

Zechariah - Chapter 4

6And he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying: 'Not by military force and not by physical strength, but by My spirit,' says the Lord of Hosts.ווַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי לֵאמֹר זֶה דְּבַר יְהֹוָה אֶל זְרֻבָּבֶל לֵאמֹר לֹא בְחַיִל וְלֹא בְכֹחַ כִּי אִם בְּרוּחִי אָמַר יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת:
AND IN THE BIBLE!

Devarim - Deuteronomy - Chapter 8

17and you will say to yourself, "My strength and the might of my hand that has accumulated this wealth for me."יזוְאָמַרְתָּ בִּלְבָבֶךָ כֹּחִי וְעֹצֶם יָדִי עָשָׂה לִי אֶת הַחַיִל הַזֶּה:
18But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He that gives you strength to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He swore to your forefathers, as it is this day.יחוְזָכַרְתָּ אֶת יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כִּי הוּא הַנֹּתֵן לְךָ כֹּחַ לַעֲשׂוֹת חָיִל לְמַעַן הָקִים אֶת בְּרִיתוֹ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ כַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה:
"My strength and my might made me great"  is an anathema to Israel. Learn the lessons of Shemittah.  The WTC, the symbol of America's might and strength, came down with one airplane within in a few minutes.  It just buckled.... the largest skyscraper in America.   This happened following the Shemittah Year.  Al Qaida were merely G-d's messengers. That's it.  

Your visit President Trump to Israel came following the Torah Portion Reading of the Laws of Shemittah in the Torah Portion of Behar.  It came on the heels of false accusations against you that you colluded with the Russians.  

Mr. President...It doesn't take too much to bring down the mighty... if G-d wills it. 

Freedom means returning to One's Heritage.  Jubilee. That concept was  discussed in the Torah Portion of this past week Parsha Behar in Leviticus as well. I am sure that Jared Kushner and David Freedman can elaborate.

"Standing With Israel" means Standing With G-d. Not nullifying His Covenant. 

In the end of Times, the Holy Temple will be the House of Prayer for all Nations. But not under the Waqf which allows only the prayer of Muslims and forbids Prayer of Jews.


Your imperfect message and the imperfect message of Prime Minister Netanyahu however only  reflects the lack of yearning and aspirations of the Nation of Israel. We can't put our disappointment on the shoulders of President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu.  We must look inward and see our own flaws and weakness.  G-d runs the world and the world is yet undeserving of His Salvation.

It just worries me terribly what will happen to the world if we pursue peace in the manner President Trumps suggests. 

Trump is apparently not yet the Messiah.  The Messiah will make the people,  worthy and place a strong desire in the hearts of men and women for G-d's Word. 




9They shall neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mount, for the land shall be full of knowledge of the Lord as water covers the sea bed.טלֹא יָרֵעוּ וְלֹא יַשְׁחִיתוּ בְּכָל הַר קָדְשִׁי כִּי מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ דֵּעָה אֶת יְהֹוָה כַּמַּיִם לַיָּם מְכַסִּים:
10And it shall come to pass on that day, that the root of Jesse, which stands as a banner for peoples, to him shall the nations inquire, and his peace shall be [with] honor.

Fwd: Demonstration against Linda Sarsour - Be There!

bs"d

A Must READ/Watch post.  (thank you Sara Lehmann for fwding)

MAY 25 Protest CUNY Speaker Pro-Terror Antisemite Linda Sarsour

Open this link even if you get a message that it is "suspicious".  Obviously our enemies do not want the Truth about Islam and the Truth about Linda Sarsour out there....Black is White and White is Black.  What better way to suppress Truth than labeling AFDI (American Freedom Defense Initiative) material as "suspicious". 

 We are fighting deception, lies and suppression of Truth big time to promote Radical Islamic Narrative and Sharia.  

This post includes a thorough and scholarly discussion about FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) down to the gritty details,  according to Islam.  According to their research (AFDI),  FGM is prescribed by all Scholars of Islam. Islamic scholars only differ on specifics, like how much.  

These are not the facts that Linda Sarsour talks about. The opposite. She publicly denies FGM is an Islamic practice and vehemently condemns it. 

She LIES and is DECEPTIVE, all under the guise of "diversity of viewpoints and an open exchange of ideas".   Sarsour doesn't want to turn off her followers with knowledge of the real facts and practice of Islam. She tells them what they want to hear. The side of Truth is suppressed and not included in the "diversity of viewpoints and open exchange of ideas".

The uneducated who promote Sarsour and want to believe her lies probably are terribly anti-Semitic to begin with and deserve what they will get under Islam.  You can only pity them knowing what fate awaits those who follow Sharia as Sarsour advocates.

All those who have come out in Sarsour's support and in support of other radical Islamic types should be shunned. This includes shunning  Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Mayor de Blasio and Chuck Schumer.   This includes Jumaane Williams a Councilmen who speaks out in Sarsour's defense while placing large ads in all the right wing Jewish papers wishing all his Jewish Friends a "Happy Passover" and helps JCCs (Jewish Community Centers) acquire funding. This deceptive kindness confuses Jews on his actual position.  His deceptive outreach to Jewish voters and throwing them some bones helps to keep them blind and silent in voicing opposition  to the likes of Sarsour and the Islamic agenda.  Please prove me wrong.  I can't think of any other good explanation for the silence of major Jewish Organizations at this outrage!

Democrats are still rushing to extremes By Evan Siegfried April 26, 2017
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand recently praised Linda Sarsour in Time magazine and on Twitter. Sarsour, in addition to being a leader in the Women's March movement, is a relentless anti-Zionist, a promoter of anti-Semitic violence — and a key vote-getter for Mayor de Blasio.
 
To Gillibrand, however, Sarsour is one of the "suffragists of our time."
 
Sarsour praises terrorists like Rasmea Odeh, convicted in Israel of murdering Hebrew University students in 1969 and of planning an attack on the British Consulate. The Zionist Organization of America called on Gillibrand to rescind her high praise of New York's Queen of Hate, as Lahav Harkov correctly called her in these pages recently. That request has been met, so far, with silence.
 
Gillibrand isn't the only Democrat infatuated with Sarsour's radicalism. While most prominent Democrats look the other way, de Blasio chose to reward and encourage Sarsour by giving her a $500,000 grant from New York City.
  
The city itself also is funding her hate by having her deliver the commencement address to this year's graduates of CUNY's Graduate School of Public Health Policy, an event at which First Lady Chirlane McCray will receive an honorary doctorate. Of course, de Blasio and other local leaders stand firmly behind the invitation.
 
Then there's Chuck Schumer. The Democratic Senate minority leader boosted, fought for and praised Rep. Keith Ellison in his bid to be DNC chair. When news surfaced of Ellison's past anti-Semitic remarks and defense of Louis Farrakhan, the founder of the Nation of Islam and unabashed anti-Semite, Schumer leapt to his defense and kept lobbying Democratic National Committee members to support him.

Yom Yerushalyim! Seize the Moment. Let's Do It In 6 DAYS! Liberation! DROR Freedom 50 Years! The Cuckoo Bird and Being Cuckoo

bs"d

How do we seize the moment?  

President Trump  and his team are in Israel right now Celebrating the momentous miraculous Reunification of Jerusalem exactly 50 years after the 1967 War.  We thought we were dreaming when we saw the Open Miracles and Liberation and the Reunification of Jerusalem and the Reunification of our Biblical Heartland Judea and Samaria with the rest of pre 67 ISRAEL!

Is this meeting today in Israel mere happenstance? 
"If you behave casually (Kerry) with Me " Going Happenstance with Hashem brings curses. (PARSHAT BECHUKOSAI) Ein Od Milvado

So how do we seize the moment?  

By redeclaring Har HaBayit BeYadeinu, Temple Mount is in Our Hands and that Judea and Samaria is ours!  

Let us proclaim and reassert our claim to our ancient and Biblical Homeland.  It is the Eternal Heritage of the Nation of Israel.   This is the G-dly recipe for PEACE. There is no other!  There  is no other Deal that can replace the One and Only G-dly Deal!

Please President Trump and all his close inner circle.  Don't be afraid to seize the moment!  G-d's armies are watching over you right now!  Hashem Tzevakot Imanu...יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּב לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה תהלים מו ח (See Psalms 46:8 below)

It is not only that Jerusalem is in Israel and the Eternal Capital of Israel but also that Judea and Samaria is the very heart of Israel and just like one cannot remove the heart and survive neither can we remove the heart from Israel and simply negotiate it away.

The Palestinians are the Cuckoo bird. And Israel acts cuckoo because of the cuckoo bird.

What does the Cuckoo bird do?  It drops its eggs into nests of other birds and expects the other birds to nurture them. Then the Cuckoo bird turns against the very ones that nurtured it and tries to destroy it. 

Some birds have no choice.  If they fight the Cuckoo bird and shoos it away they are afraid the Cuckoo bird will destroy their nest. So they nurture the cuckoo egg along with it's own.  

Israel for example will take Palestinians, offer them water, electricity, cancer treatments and money.  The Palestinians then pollutes the water, use the electricity to create weapons against Israel and smuggles in explosives with the cancer patient.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/heres-media-didnt-tell-palestinian-terrorism-israel/

Jeremiah Chapter 17
11The cuckoo calls but has not laid, so it is he who gathers riches but not by right; he shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end he stands dishonored.יאקֹרֵ֚א דָגָר֙ וְלֹ֣א יָלָ֔ד עֹ֥שֶׂה עֹ֖שֶׁר וְלֹ֣א בְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט בַּֽחֲצִ֚י יָמָיו֙ (כתיב יָמָו֙) יַעַזְבֶ֔נּוּ וּבְאַֽחֲרִית֖וֹ יִֽהְיֶ֥ה נָבָֽל:

Let us seize the moment and tell the World that that G-d of Israel is in our midst. Israel, the Lion King is the Chosen People for the Chosen Land the Land of Israel. From Zion will come forth Torah.  Israel is The Promised Land and The Holy Land.   All the residents, Jews and non Jews, so long as they abide by the Commandments and with  basic Universal Morality also known as the 7 Noahide Laws and yearn and desire a G-dly Kingdom, will prosper with great Peace and great Wealth.  Then Peace and Prosperity will spread across the Globe!
