ISRAEL LIVES  Jan. 8, 2016  27th of Tevet, 5776 Jewish History Revised, Alinsky, Europe's End, Homegrown Terrorism, Turkey's Jewish Problem

 

A brief word about the very exciting evening Wednesday Jan 6th at The American Friends of Beit Orot's Annual Dinner.  In the packed Crown Plaza Grand Ballroom, a throng of excited supporters celebrated the purchase of land for the future Hesder Yeshiva and residences by the Moskowitz Family.  The property in East Jerusalem, sits on the Mt. of Olives ridge, ideal for the mission of the Yeshiva, to introduce visitors to Israel to Har Habiet in the Holy Basin.   Speakers for the evening were Caroline Glick, the managing Editor of The Jerusalem Post and Mekor Rishon, Columnist and Seth Schreiber, Dinner Chairman, pulsed with excitement .  Seth Schreiber announced that the building permit has been issued - a great triumph.  Caroline Glick was no less restrained extolling the People of Israel.  We, the People of Israel, in a mere 68 years are able to meet the challenges of today.  We are developing strategies to accomplish what we need and want to do.  The Jewish People have never been so fortunate.  We have the Jewish State with 6 million Jews, soon we will have over 1/2 of the Jewish population of the world.  Everything about Israel is a miracle.  Our partnership with Jews in the diaspora is important, we Israelis need to help these Jews.  We are not reliant on others.  We can solve our problems with LOVE, MONEY and  ENTERPRISE.  If I didn't believe we could do it, why would I write these columns?  I made Aliyah in 1991.  How many countries have grown as well in 20 years.

 

Turning to problems of J Street, Jewish Voices for Peace and BDS proponents, Glick succinctly said, there are anti-hate laws in the United States.  USE THEM.

 

Closing, Caroline Glick beamed as she predicted: in a decade, East Jerusalem will look different, Judea and Samaria will look different, the Gallilee will look different, Yerushalium will look different.  LET  US  GO  FORWARD!  To which I say: Amen.

CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR IN COLOGNE  Reports of 90 incidents by women victims in Cologne of such sexual attacks and robberies indicated that the perpetrators were "Arabic or North Africa looking" males.  The plague of sexual assaults, robberies  and rapes  of young women by  Muslim migrant young men in Sweden has made it what some allege has become  the rape capital of Europe. Then we have the sexual grooming practices of young British girls by South Asia Muslim émigrés in the UK. With a million Muslim refugees and migrants who broke the borderless Schengen system, they are seeking more than sanctuary and possible economic employment, opportunities.  Rather it may result in establishing virtual no go areas emboldened by sexual terrorism ruled under Sharia Islamic law condoned by EU countries under the guise of myopic politically correct multi-culturalism policies. What they do not comprehend to their undoing is that the great wave of Muslim immigration is a furtherance of the Dar al Hijrah immigration strategy to spread Islamization to Europe and the West.  That is what concerns Wilders and others in the broken borders of the EU with thousands of refugees arriving daily from conflicts in the Muslim Ummah exemplified by the Jihad of the self-declared Caliphate, the Islamic State.

NEWS REPORTS

1- PALESTINIAN MEDIA WATCH (PMW) has documented that the basic component of PA historical revisionism is to deny that there is any Jewish History in the Land of Israel  For people, with a short view of history, beginning with the death of Muhammad in June 8, 632 AD, Medina, Saudi Arabia, there sadly is ample basis for this conclusion!  Jew's have been abused for centuries by the nations of the world.  Once allowed to live, survive, function (practise Judaism) in that land, usually under severe restriction (principally not being allowed to own land) Jews became traders.  Trade led to money.  Money led to banking.  Banking led to lending - often to the Crowned Heads of State.  To avoid repayment of said loans - the said Crowned Heads of State threw the whole lot of Jews out.  An early version of the oft repeated experience: Edward I of England 'threw the lot' out in 1290 after they had financed his various wars.  Jews were only welcomed back into England under Oliver Cromwell in 1656.  Yes, the history of Europe is rife with injustice toward Jews.  In the course of two millenia, Jews have been expelled from: England, France, Germany, Austria, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Spain and Italy.

 

From their myopic  rendition of history, palestinians have spun their tale, consciously avoiding the fact that in the Tenach: the number of times 'Israel' is mentioned is 7,000 and 'Jerusalem' 660 times.

 

Whichever political candidate you favor, be sure you examine them through the prism of ever having 'danced with Islam'.  'Accomodation' for votes, or payola is not acceptable.  Islam has declared war; Islamic wars are 'winner take all'.  Support Palestinian Media Watch

3-THE END OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION  This is a very well written article.  If you google the phrase you will find a plethora of entries.  None advance a solution.  Surely, the excessive gun control measures undertaken after - and in large measure because of WWII, have made Europe quite vulnerable - unless the US effectively policed them, as was their implied promise to the defeated nations, including those in the East, Japan, later South Korea....  In countries in Europe with less stringent gun control limitations are seeing a great rise in gun ownership.  President Obama, in his gun control address Jan. 4, 2016 expanded the reach of the Federal Goverment by Executive Order using increasing 

 In Pres. Obama's Jan 4, 2016 executive order and speech he sited the limitation on Free Speech as enunciated by Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes: You can't cry fire in a crowded theater" in Schenck v. United States (1919)  as a potential precedent on limitations to the 2d Amendment of the Constitution.  However, Justice Holmes went to qualify this by saying that expressions which in the circumstances were intended to result in a crime, and posed a "clear and present danger" of succeeding, could be punished.] 

OBAMA SPECIFICALLY ORDERED:

>Hiring 230 additional examiners to help the FBI conduct the added background checks.

>Requires gun dealers to notify the ATF when their guns are lost or stolen.  The President's FY2017 budget will include funding for 200 new ATF agents and investigators to help enforce our gun laws..

>ATF has established an Internet Investigation Center to track illegal online firearms trafficking and is dedicating $4 million and additional personnel to enhance the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network.

>ATF is finalizing a rule to ensure that dealers who ship firearms notify law enforcement if their guns are lost or stolen in transit.

The Attorney General issued a memo encouraging every U.S. Attorney's Office to renew domestic violence outreach efforts

>The Administration is proposing a new $500 million investment to increase access to mental health care.

>The Social Security Administration has indicated that it will begin the rulemaking process to include information in the background check system about beneficiaries who are prohibited from possessing a firearm for mental health reasons.

>The Department of Health and Human Services is finalizing a rule to remove unnecessary legal barriers preventing States from reporting relevant information about people prohibited from possessing a gun for specific mental health reasons.

RESPONSE FROM BREITBART

1. The points made by Pres. Obama would not have stopped any recent mass shootings.

2. 225 years of precedent, destroyed-without any legislative due process.  The expansion of background checks is an affront to freedom in general, because it brings private sellers under the purview of the government regardless of whether those sellers sell one gun a year or 100. Americans have been selling guns privately since 1791-that's 225 years-and now, with a swipe of his pen, Obama is saying a portion of those sales must be handled federally and conducted via background checks.

This is a not-so-subtle slide toward universal background checks-the kind of background checks they have in California and France-and it will eventually require a gun registry database in order to be enforceable-like the registry they have in France and the one they are building in California.

3. You can be denied a gun for purely financial reasons or if you are on Social Security.

The attempt to bar certain Social Security beneficiaries from owning or buying guns because they are unable to manage their own finances.

On July 18 Breitbart News reported on Obama's push to ban gun-possession for Social Security beneficiaries who are believed incapable of handling their own finances. On that same day the Los Angeles Times reported that a ban was being put together "outside of public view," but the details that were known revealed the ban would cover those who are unable to manage their own affairs for a multitude of reasons-from "subnormal intelligence or mental illness" to "incompetency," an unspecified "condition," or "disease."

This ban has been brought under the auspices of Obama's executive gun control.

4. It adds more burdens to gun dealers who are already following the law.

Obama is also using executive gun control to place even more reporting requirements-read, regulations-on the backs of Federal Firearms License holders (FFLs), who are federally recognized firearms dealers. Contrary to mainstream media reports and the talking points of gun control groups, FFLs are already highly regulated and monitored by the ATF. Obama's executive action adds one more hoop through which FFLs must jump.

5. Tax dollars for "smart guns" that nobody wants.

Obama's executive action instructs the "Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security" to sponsor research into the "smart gun" technology and explore ways to further its use. This means using tax-payer money to pay for something the private sector has no interest in funding.

Broad interest in "smart guns" is absent because they have yet to be demonstrated trustworthy. Such guns are either fitted with biometric readers-through which they are activated by the palm or finger print or their owners-or they are paired with a bracelet or watch that emits a radio signal which activates the gun when in close proximity with it.

To date, the biometric readers raise concerns that they will fail to read the correct palm or finger print if that palm or finger is caked with blood. This means the gun is useless for self-defense. As for "smart guns" paired with watches or bracelets, even if these guns worked the result would be that thieves would simply steal the watch or bracelet along with the gun, therefore outsmarting those who designed the gun for a new level of safety.

 4-THE SOURCE OF HOMEGROWN ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Monica Crowley and her reporter at Washington Times on Line, Manda Zand Ervin have done an excellent job in writing this article. 

Leftists in U.S. politics and academia have taught Muslims contempt for America.  Frequent readers of IsraelLives know I've attacked this issue many times. This article breaths new, and unpleasant details into our cauldren of information.

I would only add that the unspoken US government policy of supporting education until the age of 28 (thru graduate degrees), to support the big business of College Education/Student-molding has of necessity forced the schools to be responsive to foreign student, often paying far more than domestic students for the same education.  Hence these students are getting courses and 'positions' tailored to their inherent beliefs.  Who has enjoyed the fast path student visas? Numbering among those countries is Saudia Arabia and Iran.  Currently there is a huge uproar about Congresses new budget which specifically removed Iran from the 'fast path' list.  The implication being that Iran is a Terrorist State.  Iran's immediate response was to call for the end of Obama's Iran Nuclear 'Treaty' (What more have they to gain anyway?)  How this will work with Congress, is still 'on the table' as I write.  Certainly Iran's withdrawal from the 'treaty' is unthinkable to Pres. Obama!!

How to clear out this RATS NEST remains a very big issue. 

5>TURKEY AND JEWS-HISTORY AND PRESENT: ANDREW BOSTOM ON BREITBART.COM, a total historic overview.  'Keeping the Faith' to Turks throughout history, until Erdogan's rule today has abided fully by Koranic dictates to defile Jews.  Yet in June, 2006, despite Erdogan's (and his coterie's) already well-established public record of visceral Islamic Jew-hatred, the Anti-Defamation League [ADL] awarded, and Erdogan personally accepted, the ADL's "Courage to Care Award."  This immediately brought me to BDS as espoused and promulgated by Jews - TOUGH LOVE, WE DON'T NEED. 

 

REMEMBER THE 'Mavi Marmara', June 4, 2010; The Gaza Freedom Flotilla, organized by the Free Gaza Movement and the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH).  As of Dec. 23, 2015 Los Angeles Times reported "Israel has long said it wanted to restore ties. The Israeli government has apologized for the Mavi Marmara raid and agreed to pay $20 million in reparations. Differences remain over Gaza, which is controlled by the militant Palestinian organization Hamas and is in effect cut off by an Israeli naval blockade. Turkey wants the blockade lifted; Israel has refused so far."

1>PALESTINIAN MEDIA WATCH HAS DOCUMENTED THAT A BASIC COMPONENT OF PA HISTORICAL REVISION IS TO DENY THERE WAS ANY JEWISH HISTORY IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

To explain why millions of Jews would immigrate to the Israel without a historical connection the PA claims that Zionism was not a Jewish idea but rather a European idea. And it was created by Europeans, not to return Jews to their homeland, but to get rid of the scheming and corrupt Jews who, according to PA ideology, caused Europe so much suffering.

 

The film explains that England, France, Germany, Austria, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Spain and Italy, all expelled Jews because they suffered from the Jews' presence. Finally, when the Balfour Declaration facilitated the establishment of "a national homeland" for the Jews, Europe supported it because it "saw it as an ideal solution to get rid of them."

 

The following is the excerpt of the PA TV broadcast on Fatah that demonized Jews:

 

"Faced with the Jews' schemes, Europe could not bear their character traits, monopolies, corruption, and their control and climbing up positions in government. In 1290, King Edward I issued a decree banishing the Jews [from England]. Following him were France, Germany, Austria, Holland, Czechoslovakia, Spain and Italy. The European nations felt that they had suffered a tragedy by providing refuge for the Jews. Later the Jews obtained the Balfour Declaration, and Europe saw it as an ideal solution to get rid of them." Palestinian Media Watch 'hair-raising' diatribe has been repeated annually [PA TV, Jan. 1, 2013, Nov. 11, 2014, most recently repeated on Dec. 31, 2015] 

January 2016 they showcased their newest accusation:  PA and Fatah: Israel steals organs of dead terrorists

RULES FOR RADICALS
Alinsky

Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have

The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people. When an action is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear, and retreat. 

The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat. 

The fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity. 

The fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage. 

The sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. If your people are not having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic. 

The seventh rule: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time, after which it becomes a ritualistic commitment, like going to church on Sunday mornings. 

The eighth rule: Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose. 

The ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself

The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign. 

The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative. 

The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. You cannot risk being trapped by the enemy in his sudden agreement with your demand and saying "You're right - we don't know what to do about this issue. Now you tell us." 

The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

3>THE END OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION?

Paul R. Hollrah

January 3, 2016

http://beforeitsnews.com/eu/2016/01/the-end-of-european-civilization-2596304.html

 

Having visited Austria and Germany just months ago, and recalling the indescribable beauty of that part of the world and the cheerful, hard-working people who live there, it is hard to visualize the dark fate that awaits them in the weeks, months, and years ahead.  An October 26 article by Leo Hohmann for WorldNetDaily, describes the massive invasion of Muslim refugees flooding into Europe and the frantic attempt by locals to purchase guns in countries that have made it all but impossible to own a firearm.  It provides a chilling picture of things to come. not only in Europe, but in America as well.

 

In Austria, for example, where gun ownership is legal, the shops struggle to meet the demand.  Because the Muslim immigrants feel that European women are theirs for the taking because they appear in public provocatively dressed (by Muslim standards), most Austrian gun-buyers are women.  Across Europe, sexual assaults by Muslim men have become endemic and police officials refuse to describe the sexual holocaust for what it is for fear of agitating the Muslims. 

 

European and American police and government officials need not worry any longer about when and where the first shots in the war to save western civilization will be fired.  Those shots were fired in the heart of Paris on an otherwise peaceful autumn evening in November 2015, and they were fired at a Christmas party in sunny San Bernardino, California on December 2, 2015.    

 

In an article titled, Tet, Take Two: Islam's 2016 European Offensive, author Matt Bracken provides a most chilling prediction of what the people of Europe have in store for them in the weeks and months ahead.  If Bracken is correct in his assessment. and I believe he is. what we will witness in the coming year will be, literally, the beginning of the end of European civilization.  He predicts a violent 2016 showdown and collision that will, in historical terms, be on par with the First and Second World Wars.

 

Unless I am mistaken, Bracken may underestimate the horror of what is about to occur on the European continent.  During World War II, allied bombers targeted cities and towns that were home to a wide variety of industries critical to the German war effort, while units of infantry, armor, and artillery came behind, shelling strategically located towns and villages until German forces were driven out.  Many cities, towns, and villages across Germany escaped relatively unscathed.  The same will not be true during the coming Muslim holocaust.

 

Bracken points out that, right now, approximately a million new Muslim migrants. at least 75% of them men between the ages of 18 and 40. are struggling to find a warm place to sleep and something to eat.  None of the European countries have food or living quarters for that many cold and hungry people, so what will happen when the worst part of the European winter arrives with blizzards, high winds, and sub-zero temperatures?  Bracken speculates that, "When the snow is deep in Germany and across Europe, these men are going to enter local houses, demanding to be taken in as boarders. or else!  Where it is useful, small migrant children will be held up in front as human shields for their emotional blackmail value; elsewhere, they will be discarded.  One way or the other, Muslim migrants will be attempting to move into German homes and apartments seeking heat and food, and the young Muslim men will be seeking undefended infidel or kafir women to slake their lust (which is their right under Islamic law)."     

 

To put the coming Muslim holocaust into perspective, Bracken uses as a yardstick the September 2004 school siege at Beslan, in the Russian Federation.  The siege began on September 1, 2004, when armed Chechen Muslims occupied a school in Beslan, taking 1,100 hostages, including 777 children.  Three days later, Russian security forces stormed the school with heavy weapons.  At least 385 hostages were killed, including 186 children.  

 

As we sit before our Christmas trees and our fireplaces this Christmas season, surrounded by family and friends, it's difficult to imagine the horrors that await the good people of Europe who've seen their Muslim population grow from 29 million to 55 million in the years between 1990 and 2013. before the massive invasion of Muslims in 2014 and 2015.  Bracken asks us to visualize not just one Beslan-style incursion by Muslim jihadists, but ten or twenty such atrocities occurring simultaneously all across Europe.

 

Already, in cities, towns, and villages, from Italy and Austria to Norway, Sweden, and Finland, we hear the anguished screams of women and young girls as they are gang-raped by bands of Muslim hijra invaders.   Such savagery will tear the hearts out of the male population of Europe until they decide that death is preferable to such humiliation.  Then, and only then, will they begin to fight back with all the ferocity they can muster.  Bracken predicts that this is what lies ahead for the people of Europe who have silently allowed their socialist governments to disarm them in the years since World War II.   

 

So who is to save them from their all-but-certain fate... the United States?  Let us not forget, we have a political party in our country... the Democratic Party... which has a record of importing potential voters from abroad, no matter who and what they are, so long as they will ultimately vote Democratic.  According to U.S. government statistics, nearly 50,000 Muslim immigrants were granted permanent residency status in the United States in 1992.  By 2009, that number had increased to more than 115,000.  If current trends continue, by the year 2030 roughly 130,000 Muslims are expected to be granted permanent residency status in the United States annually.

 

A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that, among likely Republican voters, 59% support a temporary ban on Muslim immigration until the federal government is able to develop a failsafe method for screening out violent jihadists, while 82% of Democrats oppose such a ban.  Overall, party affiliation aside, only 36% of Americans favor such a ban, yet 60% feel that Obama's handling of the terrorist threat has been a failure.

Iran Deal Advocacy: Rabbi's, OU, Agudath Israel vs Neturei Karta. Neturei Karta Wins? Search on Youtube for "Rabbis DC" and see what comes up


bs"d
We are all accustomed to seeing the Neturei Karta contingent at the Israel Day Parade...They annoy us and we dismiss them. "they represent a fringe group.."  we tell ourselves. 

This article will prove that they are very influential and very dangerous!

They look like many Chareidi Jews particularly similar to Satmar Chasidim who do not  particularly like the secular Zionist government in Israel.  However, unlike Neturei Karta, Satmar Chassidim do NOT support empowering our enemies like IRAN.  Those of us Jews in the loop dismiss Neturei Karta as idiots and assume they are being paid off by Iran because no sane Jew really wants a nuclear Iran.   Do these "Jews" really want to reap what they sow?   So we either try to engage them in dialogue, ignore them,  shove an anti Iran poster in their face, give them a dirty look, yell at them or at worst, sing Hatikvah...

Yes, it is time to take them seriously as they have become sophisticated with a strong youtube and online presence. Their online presence is stronger than the Rabbi's at the Rabbi-led Rally in front of UN before Yom Kippur, stronger than OU Rabbi's and the OU Advocacy group who assembled on Capital Hill before Rosh Hashana and stronger than Rabbinic Organization, Agudath Israel and their Advocacy group the Lefkowitz Leadership Initiative. Let me go so far as to say that Agudath Israel of America empowers Neturei Karta. 

Here is proof!
  
RABBINIC-LED RALLY September 20, 2015 Erev Yom Kippur

Read about this  Rabb-ledi Rally against a nuclear Iran.  http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2015/09/erev-yom-kippur-5776-stop-iran-rabbi.html. I was there and I thought it was an amazing Rally. 
Neturei Karta was there as well in relatively strong numbers,  in support of a nuclear Iran.

These look alike Rabbi's, fools dressed in Rabbi's garb, were on E.  45th street closer to 2nd ave. We were closer to 1st Ave. These fake Rabbi's had signs "We support a nuclear Iran deal".   Here is a youtube of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=NxrdLnAjXoY

Please note that as of tonight, post Yom Kippur, they have a youtube up and the Rabbis of Conscience-led rally do not. Shalom TV video'd this amazing Rally but because of the holidays didn't yet post it. Hopefully sooner than later, because the fake Rabbi's beat us to it.  
Personally I took several excellent videos of the real Rabbi's speaking but these videos were longer than 2 and a half minutes. I  have yet to figure out how to upload large files onto youtube.   Luckily Steve Epstein managed to post some videos of this rally on facebook.   While we were an amazing group of professional  volunteers working on this rally, we were also trying to prepare for Yom Kippur etc.
The Neturei Karta probably got a busload of students and followers. (They probably came by bus because the subways have forbidden images. I would like to know where their funding is coming from?) They need to hire someone to video and someone to post on youtube with a misrepresentation of who they are. 
They say that they represent true Judasim as opposed to the other Rabbi's who don't.
 If you were uninformed researcher, which Rabbi would you believe. The one with the strong Youtube presence or the one w/o youtube presence?  
OU Advocacy and Press Conference on September 9th North Lawn of the Capital.

Very little coverage. I found this OU article about this event which brought in hundreds of Rabbis for the day and there was a price that one needed to pay for a seat on the bus.  Rabbi's took off valuable time to attend this rally and lobby in Congress. .http://advocacy.ou.org/2015/hundreds-rabbis-synagogue-leaders-capitol-hill-urge-congress-reject-iran-nuclear-deal/
Search "Youtube for OU Iran Deal and see what comes up".  Not much except Neturei Karta.  I finally found this unprofessional youtube under OU Advocacy.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzlwbhnV9iw&list=PLIs7yAzLQL42DZ05IVZnz-18zIhV0MyoH

You can not see the speaker.  The message was not a message of Torah but rather about the fact that the Deal with Iran is a bad deal, bad for Israel's security and bad for America. A moral objection. . These were Rabbi's but no Torah Message that the Land of Israel is Promised to the our Forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for an everlasting inheritance! If there was such a message it wasn't posted. 

Neturei Karta in comparison, had an impressive bunch of videos posted on youtube.  

The typical Satmar Chossid probably doesn't realize that the world looks at these images and assumes that they are all supporting a nuclear Iran under the Neturei Karta umbrella of peace and love.

Neturei Karta of course accuse the other Rabbi's as being false...

 These videos were calling for peace with Iran.
The Message of Neturei Karta is: Stand with the Peace Process with Jews who are "True to the Torah". The Deal is a G-dly work with the backing of the True Brooklyn Jewish Community in Williamsburg, the largest Jewish Community in New York.  Bloodshed of the world is because of the Zionists and this group wishes to show gratitude to the Arabs for giving Jews the freedom to practice Judaism in freedom.
 The OU Advocy has put their emphasis on closed meeting advocacy with members of Congress.  Gillibrand, Jeffries, Corey Booker, Schumer  etc.

What do they have to show for it?   Not much.  Gillibrand, Jeffries, Booker came out for the Deal.  

Even Schumer disappointed us since he was too busy to study the Iran Deal because he was busy working on the Education bill.  See 3:30 into video with Chuck Schumer:UP WITH STEVE KORNACKI 7/19/15 I'll make up my own mind on Iran nuke deal .  http://www.msnbc.com/up/watch/schumer--ill-make-up-my-own-mind-on-nuke-deal-487177283523  

Just knowing that Iran was getting $150 billion dollars of sanctions relief is reason enough to come out against it. What exactly about the deal did he have to study? (Caroline Glick at Times Square Rally opposing the Deal)

When Gillibrand and other Democrats came out in support of the deal, Schumer finally came out against it.   Even after knowing that there were hidden side deals, Schumer didn't try very hard to convince fellow Democrats that this was a bad deal.   Even with his lukewarm opposition, Obama came out with full force backlash...

BTW, Yes, the Yeshivoth did received promises of big bucks from New York State early this summer around this time..Schumer was probably focusing on this! Monies that were somehow owed to private schools from 9,10 years ago.... reimbursable...Impeccable timing?

AGUDAH ADVOCACY FOR YESHIVA EDUCATION funding at the Expense of IRAN DEAL ADVOCACY?

 Earlier this summer, the New York State Education Department announced that over the next two years it would be distributing $250 million in mandated services/CAP reimbursement to nonpublic schools across the state with $125 million to be paid out in each of the two years...
Mrs. Deborah Zachai, Director of Education Affairs for Agudath Israel of America, explained that these monies have been owed to nonpublic schools for more than a decade. Due to budget shortfalls and the use of a flawed formula to calculate the actual reimbursement due to nonpublic schools, the debt accumulated and became substantial over a more than ten year period.
It has been a long-standing legislative priority for Agudath Israel of America – whose late president Rabbi Moshe Sherer was instrumental in getting the mandated services law enacted over 40 years ago – to obtain payment on the debt. The state's allocation of $250 million for this purpose, goes a long way towards accomplishing that priority.

"We are absolutely thrilled that, at long last, the state has begun making payments on the debt it has owed yeshivos and other nonpublic schools for so many years. We anticipate that the yeshiva share of these funds should be approximately $80 million over the next two years, in addition to the regular mandated and CAP payments. This infusion of substantial funding is wonderful news for yeshivos and should significantly help ease their cash flow," said Mrs. Zachai. 
"This development is long overdue, but nonetheless extremely welcome," added Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, Agudath Israel's Executive Vice President. "We look forward to working with the State Education Department over the next two years as these vital funds are distributed."

Agudah Advocacy for Iran:


Aside from these posts and this PDF which gives talking points and  sample letters to our elected officials, http://files.ctctcdn.com/1cf6ab87001/88c49f26-7483-4f0b-93b8-b89659fe5258.pdf that's about it. And it is pretty hard to cut and paste a pdf file. 

Agudah has been rather silent. No videos about our G-d Given rights to Eretz Yisroel,  Yehuda and Shomron based on commentaries of the  Biblical boundaries of Eretz Yisroel delineated in Parshat Masei. No videos about a dangerous Iran deal,

Compare Neturei Karta's online and video/youtube presence and "Torah Message" in support of a Nuclear Iran with that of Agudath Yisroel against a Nuclear Iran.  Neturei Karta wins hands down!

Yet Agudath Yisroel is a mainstream ultra religious Organization with hundreds of thousands of followers and thousands of Rabbi's.  They have a paid office staff and even a public relations office in DC.

While Neturei Karta is a fringe group numbering maybe in the hundreds. We suspect they are getting paid off...

We know that Agudah knows how to advocate when it really wants to.....


AGUDAH's ADVOCACY AGAINST  CHAREIDI DRAFT
Here is a successful protest organized by Agudath Israel. 

Haredim pray in New York for cancellation of Israeli ultra-Orthodox draft bill http://www.jpost.com/Jewish-World/Jewish-News/Haredim-gather-for-mass-prayer-rally-in-New-York-against-ultra-Orthodox-draft-in-Israel-344780 

NEW YORK – Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews gathered in New York's financial district on Sunday to protest against a Knesset bill to draft previously exempt yeshiva students into the IDF or national service. The protest, described as a prayer meeting by organizer Agudath Israel of America, was intended to serve as a follow-up to last week's mega-protest in Jerusalem, which drew a crowd of hundreds of thousands.
Officially, Agudah is against the Iran deal but compare their effectiveness in advocacy against the Nuclear Iran deal with  the Rally they helped to organize on June 9, 2013 against the Chareidi Draft of Israel.

Please watch the following youtube video of this Rally, probably put out by Neturei Karta whose presence with Satmar was significant:


Apparently, Agudah helped to organize a Neturei Karta event. Probably very disturbing to the majority of members of Agudah.   

other posts about this Protest rally....


Seriously, is the government of Israel more of a threat to the Chareidi Jew than Iran, Hamas, Hizbollah, Fatah and Isis? Is the 150 billion dollars of freed assets to a terror State of Iran less of a problem then the State of Israel calling for a Chareidi Draft to fight real enemies who wish to annihilate her?  http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/12/likud-rule-of-evil-what-have-hereidi.html

Case in point: How would the Chareidim suggest that they defend themselves against the Hamas tunnels discovered in Operation Protective Edge without an army? 

How long did it take for a Druze Policeman to come to stop the terrorists who massacred and dismembered with gruesome cruelty those that were davening in Har Nof? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Jerusalem_synagogue_attack
Perhaps if B'nei Torah synagogue, the shul in Har Nof  where the massacre took place, had mispallelim, worshippers,  with ammunition on them, as is the case of most Dati Leumi shuls (religious Zionists synagogues)  perhaps the terrorists could have been neutralized sooner than the 7 minutes it took for the police to come.  Will Chareidim blame the gov't of Israel for not providing equal protection for Chareidim as other Israeli citizens?

The Truth of Torah will Silence Neturei Karta. 

 ...And large sums of monies from the US Government, can silence Agudah from speaking words of Truth and words of Torah.  

Am I suggesting impropriety?

Warning lights!  Wait a moment.  Motzei Shem Ra!  Lashon HARA! Giving someone a bad reputation is a very serious violation!  Especially a Rabbinic Organization. Especially Motzei Yom Kippur!  

How can this money that is "coming to Yeshivoth via Agudah Advocacy" be considered unholy?

The Yeshiva's deserve this money I hear you ask. We pay our taxes and shouldn't we receive funds from our hard earned tax payer money for our children's education like all New York State residents?

This is an excellent question.   Yes is my answer to that question. Yeshivoth surely deserve this money and if New York State gives this money to Yeshivoth, they will truly merit to have upright citizens.  A win win situation for all. 

So where lies the problem? 

The answer I believe lies in a personal discovery made after a long and difficult struggle and search to understand the Mitzvah of Shemittah.  I will explain it to you in abridged form related to the topic at hand. If you wish to read about this further and how Shemittah is related you can visit this post. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2005/09/how-it-began-how-i-became-interested.html

The Tikkun lies in the way one gives and the way one receives. If one gives in the proper spirit that we are doing the right thing and that monies are owed to the private schools that is the right way for the State to give. Those receiving are not receiving a present.  They are receiving that which is due them. They don't owe those who have released the monies anything. They are receiving their fair share.  

But why did it take so long to release the funds and why davka now?  This release of funds is suspicious.  Are there any strings attached?  Was there an unwritten agreement, like don't fight us on the Iran deal in order for the monies to be released, If so, this is a bribe or like tossing a dog a bone when it is very hungry. One is blinded from a bribe and this is what can make it unholy.  

Those who remember how the expulsion of Gush Katif happened and how the religious parties initially opposed the decree only to be bought with Educational subsidies are super sensitive to this possibility.

Keeping Shemittah in the proper spirit reminds us that it is G-d alone who provides for our sustenance and that there is One G-d... a very difficult Mitzvah to keep indeed...

The Truth of Torah 

These Pesukim appeared in the Yom Kippur davening more than once. 
זְכֹר לְאַבְרָהָם לְיִצְחָק וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבָדֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לָהֶם בָּךְ וַתְּדַבֵּר אֲלֵהֶם אַרְבֶּה אֶת זַרְעֲכֶם כְּכוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם וְכָל הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתִּי אֶתֵּן לְזַרְעֲכֶם וְנָחֲלוּ לְעֹלָם:
 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your very Self, and to whom You said: 'I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens, and all this land which I said that I would give to your seed, they shall keep it as their possession forever.' "

I marched alongside Neturei Karta wearing my Hebron T shirt and holding a map of the Land of Israel  based on the Biblical delineations of the borders of Israel according to commentaries  of Chumash.  

All of the maps of these delineations, according to all the opinions, include Judea and Samaria. Here is the picture  of the map on the T shirt:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B86sGl9yfinjcXdwYkszbFhBS2xxS0ZWY01sVmV4RHFkb1Vr/view?  

I tried to emphasize to those that paid any attention, that this was Chumash, our everlasting Covenant with Hashem,  and not merely the boundaries of the modern State of Israel! 

The back of this T shirt had Biblical references of the boundaries  of the Land of Israel in Parshat Masei. Numbers 34: 1-15 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B86sGl9yfinjU3dYUHdhM1NQa1RSc284c0ZNZ0hHcXhRQ2U0/view?

As the Neturei Karta were chanting "Judaism, Yes, Zionism No", I marched alongside them chanting quotes about Zion from the Torah and from the Liturgy. "Ki Mizion Tezei Torah,  Udvar Hashem MeYerushalyim" From Zion comes forth Torah and the word of G-d from Jerusalem.  ..VeZechezena Ainenu Beshuvcha LeZion BeRachamim.....  May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in compassion.  Blessed are you Hashem, who restores His Presence to Zion. (translation courtesy of Artscroll)

They looked at me truly confused.  Deep down they too have a Jewish soul yearning for the truth... 

Years from now, the world including our children and Chareidi children will get the wrong impression that all ultra Orthodox supported IRAN Deal.   All they will see are the Neturei Karta youtube posts.  

Something to reflect upon.


Pitka Tova, A good Kvitel....
