Naftali - Not afraid to speak the Truth to every audience. Not afraid to be a Torah and G-d fearing Jew.

bs"d

MK Naftali Bennett has consistently come out to speak out for our Biblical Deed to the Land of Israel and of our rights to Eretz Yisroel based on Torah. I love his ad campaign, not to apologize....'To be strong and state the truth. 

I have heard Bennett attacked as being anti Torah. His public statements and willingness to stand for Torah prove otherwise.  He is consistent with Torah.  

Besides publicly speaking about our 3,800 years connection to the Land of Israel, he clearly stated that homosexuality is against the Torah and he defended the  Givati unit who fought so bravely this past summer in Operation Tzuk Eitan. Givati Commander Ofer Winter Commander of the Givati unit, put his faith in G-d, encouraged his soldiers to go into war, praying to G-d,  saying the Shma, and depending on G-d's deliverance and indeed G-d listened and Israel witnessed miracles before it's very eyes.  The Commander, Ofer Winter, a G-d fearing man did not say, it is our power and our strength, the strength of the IDF that will make us victorious.  He said put your faith in G-d.  

Yet Ofer Winter was criticized. 

Naftali Bennett defended him and his Torah position.  


The Commander's Letter
Eighteen thousand Israeli soldiers amassed on the border of Gaza last week, waiting for the order to go in and clean out the thousands of smuggling and infiltration tunnels and launching pads of the Hamas terrorists. The Commander of Givati, one of the largest infantry divisions, sent this letter to his soldiers (roughly translated from the Hebrew):

Dear Officers and Fighters,

It's a big honor that fell to our portion to be and to serve in the unit of Givati at this time. History choose us to be at the tip of the spear of fighting the terrorist Gaza enemy that provoked and taunted the God of Israel's battalions. [Here he uses terminology from the Biblical account of David fighting Goliath.]
We prepared and trained ourselves for this moment. And we accept upon ourselves the mission, as emissaries and from a place of total humility. We are willing to endanger ourselves and give up our lives for the sake of protecting our families and our nation and our heritage.

… I'm counting on you, on each and every one of you, that you will act in this spirit, the spirit of Israeli warriors, who are going in the forefront of the fighting forces, … I raise my eyes to the heavens and call out with you, "Shema Yisrael, Hashem Elokenu, Hashem Echad." Hashem, the God of Israel, please make our way successful, that we are going and standing to fight for Your nation of Israel against an enemy that taunts Your name. In the name of the IDF fighters and particularly the fighters of this division and its commanders, it should be that what it says in the Torah should be fulfilled by us: "Because God your Lord Who is going with you to fight for you against your enemies, to redeem you." And let us say, "Amen."
"Together, and only together, we will win."
Signing off,
Ofer Winter
Commander of Givati

IDF commander seeks God's help to fight 'blasphemous' Gazans
Col. Ofer Winter criticized for letter to Givati Brigade officers, calling for divine aid in fighting 'foe which curses God's name'

Senior infantry officer describes divine protection in Gaza
Givati Brigade commander Ofer Winter says a mysterious cloud shrouded his troops during attack

Was Ofer Winter's Torah Stand acknowledged by UTJ or Shas?

Has UTJ or Shas spoken out publicly for our rights to the  Eretz Yisroel based on Torah and of the Biblical boundaries which include Judea and Samaria and Har Habayit? Did UTJ or Shas apologize for allowing the expulsion of the Jews of Gush Katif to happen because of political deals? 

Surely UTJ and Shas and MGH (Moetzet Gedolie Hatorah) in private believe that the Biblical boundaries of Eretz Yisroel are true since otherwise would be to deny Torah. Surely they believe that Jews have an obligation to defend the Land of Israel and its citizens. (Milchemet Mitzvah) Surely, they admired Commander Ofer's instructing his army first as a G-d fearing Jew and then as a Commander. 

But publicly they are simply afraid to say so. They are afraid it would antagonize our enemies to state so publicly. Perhaps they were afraid to admit that IDF soldiers can and will act consistent with Torah rather than against Torah as they had led many of their constituencies to believe months prior when they mobilized 300,000-800,000 Jews to protest the IDF draft.. 

Let me be frank. I do not support Areas A and B under full Palestinian autonomy in charge of their education etc as does MK Naftali Bennett or as he thinks is the practical approach. (why should Israel give legitimacy to a Palestinian autonomy, albeit civil one,  that teaches hate filled education to exterminate the Jews as their close neighbors? In addition, how can this Palestinian civil autonomy keep Shemittah in its territory?) 

I support all Jewish and non Jewish residents living in all parts of Israel, including areas A and B and C  so long as they are accepting of Jewish Sovereignty as well as abide by the 7 Noahide laws.  

Israel is not a racist country.  Jews and Arabs alike are welcome so long as they abide by these pre-conditions.

Perhaps on this I and other right wing Nationalist do not see eye to eye with Naftali Bennett.

I can differ with some of his views and will not be afraid to disagree with him.  However...

I admire Bennett's courage in stating a right wing Nationalist stand, representing the majority of the people of Israel, against a PA state, and for wearing his KIPA proudly as a proud Jew and for not being afraid to say so in front of hostile audiences.. 

Surely I hope he in turn would respect others like Feiglin who are proud to say we have a right to sovereignty over Har Habayit and a right to settle in areas A and B and C and not apologize to the world for saying so and acting upon it as well. 

For your reference I have compiled a list of youtubes of MK's who stand strong and Naftali Bennett has many youtubes which makes me as a Jew,  proud of Israel and proud of strong leadership that has put Israel in a strong and positive light among the Nations  true to our Mesorah and true to Torah.  For this Naftali Bennet deserves our greatest appreciation and respect.

Re: Shin Bet fears violence against Lapid, Bennett, and Shaked

Bsd

Shin Bet once again pushing the Jewish terrorist narrative.

Its a lie.

Bennett and Netanyahu pushed this false narrative in 2015 following the Duma arson based on the Shabak say so.

There is no organized Jewish Terror!

Its a fabricated lie. Its all political defamation and slander against those that want a government based on Torah... basically against the Settler Hilltop Youth and the followers of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane who can't be bought and are hard to blackmail.

Jewish Media: Please don't fall into the trap. Don't betray those you have been defending and supporting and turn your back, believing Shabak who has a history of defamation, provocation, and framing those who want Torah and Mitzvoth the law of the land.

It is the Torah mindset that threatens the present government and the opposition. They are the perceived enemy.

G-d runs the show and those that seek power and fame aren't that happy with this ideology.

Just in case you've forgotten past action of Shin Bet against the Hilltop Youth...


The following posts document how invested the right was to demonize the right wing Settler Youth. 


Bsd

Bennett's Oped in the NY Times in 2015 without retraction,  has made me lose all his right wing credibility in my eyes. He slandered and libeled and betrayed the salt of the earth, the Hilltop Youth.

How one treats the Hilltop Youth is the litmus test to know how sincere and truthful he is. 

I am therefore not surprised of  Bennets betrayal now to partner with the left in spite of some very recent impressive yet deceitful rhetoric.

From Moshe Elkman

Bennett at his best!

If only Bennett would join with Netanyahu and Saar then we will have a great united right wing government...


I blogged


...Naftali Bennett has convicted Hilltop Youth in August 7, 2015 in a New York Times Op Ed. without even knowing their identity he called them terrorists, anarchists, a fifth column within Israel and like Hamas and Hezbollah they must face the full force of Israel's justice system and its defense establishment.  

If I was a lawyer of any of these Duma suspects, I would sue Bennett for defamation of character and mental anguish leading to near suicide,  false incarceration, torture and basically taking away months of my clients life away. "

Naftali Bennett, Prosecutor and Judge on Israel's Jewish Terrorists By NAFTALI BENNETT AUG. 7, 2015 They killed the baby and his parents....

...The terrorists who killed Shira and Ali do not represent Israel or its people. They are a fringe group, made up of radical extremists who do not only seek to kill. Their ultimate goal is the destruction of the State of Israel. They act against and threaten the very premise of what the Zionist movement envisioned when returning to the Land of Israel after 2,000 years in exile — a Jewish and democratic state committed to equality and freedom for all its citizens. They are anarchists, a fifth column within Israel and like Hamas and Hezbollah, they must face the full force of Israel's justice system and its defense establishment.
But they are also a tiny group. They do not represent the 400,000 residents of Jewish communities throughout the West Bank, the overwhelming majority of whom are law-abiding citizens and have condemned these acts of violence.

Bennett Condemns Yitzhar Settlers’ Attack on Female Border Guard | The Jewish Press - JewishPress.com 7 Av 5778 – July 19, 2018 | JewishPress.com. Before an investigation? Was Shabak Behind This Too?

Bsd

In all due respect to Bennett he also publicly condemned the Jewish Duma Hilltop Youth suspects in the New York Times (of all places) one week after the Duma Arson happened in 2015! 

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Naftali Bennett on Israel's Jewish Terrorists

By Naftali Bennett
  • Aug. 7, 2015

Two and a half years later 2 Hilltop youth, one of them a minor at the time, have been tortured, imprisoned and traumatized with no credible evidence other than forced confessions and Hebrew Graffiti,  that they participated in the Duma arson. These suspects still have not had a trial! Bennett has never apologized for blackening their name not to mention the post trauma on these kids who are innocent until proven guilty.  Or no more guilty than the Jewish Division of Terror who looks to fabricate Jewish Terrorists!

MK Bennett, At least keep your mouth shut until there is a fair investigation!

My reaction:

Using the Duma Miscarriage of Justice as a probable scenario in the making.....

How many Hilltop Youth from Yitzhar are now being rounded up, placed under Administrative Detention, labeled ticking time bombs and Jewish Terrorists (being affiliated with the designated Kach/Kahana Terror  Organization), denied due process, with no legal representation and being tortured? And most importantly did the the Government and/or the Jewish Division  of Terror in Shabak help  orchestrate and/or provoke this stone throwing?

Naftalli Bennett is not afraid to speak about Torah and our Biblical Homeland. Worrisome links about Iran and BDS almost like the 1930's.

 bs"d
 
Dear Rabbanim, Knesset Members, Media and Fellow Israel Activists, amv"'sh
 
Economy Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home/Bayit Yehudi) has been fearless in speaking venues in America; CNN, Conference of Presidents, Sderot Dinner, Bnei Akiva, Arutz7....
 
We all read how he corrected CNN interviewer Christiane Amanpour when she used the term "occupied West Bank" in her question. He pointed out that there is no such thing as "Israeli occupation" in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem. Bennett held up a coin which, he pointed out, was "used by Jews 2,000 years ago in the state of Israel." "It's our house. How can we occupy our own house?" he asked.

When he spoke to the Conference of Presidents Minister Bennett emphasized that he is spearheading a program to "change the shape of the public relations battlefield" and emphasize not only Israel's security interests in Judea and Samaria, but also the region's status as the Biblical and spiritual bedrock to the Jewish people.

At the Sderot Dinner, Bennett put Torah before Security. He impressed upon the audience that Torah is fundamental to Israel. He said that the Yeshiva of Sderot is more effective than the Iron Dome.  In an interview with Zev Brenner he emphasized the need to strengthen our connection to the Bible and our Jewish Heritage. 

 
This is a breath of fresh air. 
 
 Rabbanim, here is a real alliance that needs to be fostored.This affirmation, with pride and without fear, that Torah is the foundation of the Jews and Israel's existance today, is our strongest ammunition against the evil forces hovering over Israel and America (see articles and you tube below).  
 
Naftali Bennett deserves our recognition, thanks and appreciation for speaking up for Torah to audiences that are not on the same page.  Let us take his lead and run with it.
 
Links about Bennett from Arutz7
 
Unfortunately Bennett is not the deciding Policy maker for the Government of Israel or their Justice Dept.  He speaks out against a 2 State Solution. He, Tzipi Hatoveli and Moshe Feiglin speak out against Shai Nitzan's appt.  http://www.jpost.com/Diplomacy-and-Politics/Right-wing-MKs-bash-state-attorney-appointee-for-being-anti-settlement-332293 

In September of 2012, The Mateh Arim (Cities' Headquarters) movement urged people to flood ministers and their staff with messages against Nitzan's appointment as Deputy Attorney General for Special Assignments.

"This is a disaster," they stated. "Shai Nitzan is a bitter enemy of the settlement enterprise. If he receives the appointment, he will do anything to ruin and destroy every good part of Judea and Samaria."

Critics say Nitzan played an active role in the Prosecution's decision to carry out mass arrests of demonstrators against the government's removal of Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria in the 2005 "Disengagement," and to close investigations against police officers who used violence against the demonstrators.

Mattot Arim urges us to email Knesset members in protest of his recent appointment as State attorney.

The world faces a nuclear Iran and International Boycotts and threats against Israel and civilization resemble and surpass those of 1930s and the rise of Nazism.  Surely it behooves us to convince ourselves that we are not monsters.   The settlers are legitimate because that is Torah.

Elisha ben Odess Please Davan and Demand RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE!

bs"d

Seeking Confession at All Costs, Israeli Court, AG, Endorsed Torture of Jewish-American Minor by David Israel
http://www.jewishpress.com/news/police-news/seeking-confession-at-all-costs-israeli-court-ag-endorsed-torture-of-jewish-american-minor/2018/02/08/

Elisha ben Odess, a settler kid who was put under administrative detention by Shabak with the complicit collusion with the Defense Minister and Bagatz, was tortured and was forced to confess to a murder he never committed. His trial is scheduled for this Monday, February 12, 2018.  (secular calendar)

Please daven for him 
Elisha Chaim ben Naama Leah
אלישׁע חיים בּן נעמה לאה

This coming Monday,  the court in Israel will hold a hearing which will affect Elisha's fate. The judges will hear the evidence of the prosecution and the defense. After that, within a short time period, they will decide if Elisha is innocent or guilty.  His life hangs in the balance. 

Fwd: Day of Tefilla for Elisha Odess: Teen Tortured by Shabak for false Duma confession https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2018/02/fwd-day-of-tefilla-for-elisha-odess.html

Will we allow this blood libel to actualize:?????

Now is a good time to push for some justice for Elisha Odess and all the hilltop Youth under administrative detention who have been denied basic human and civil rights.

In USA the DOJ Dept of Justice and the FBI are seriously under investigation for criminal abuse of power. (Russian Collusion, Dossier funded by Clinton Campaign etc.)  The time has come for Israel as well.  Ayelet Shaked is doing just that and the Shabak needs to be investigated together with BaGatz and the Ministry of Defense as per their bias against the Jews living in Judea and Samaria.  When this bias happened under the reign of Obama and perhaps the politicians in Israel were being pushed to the wall, it might be understandable but still no excuse.  But now under Trump?

It is my conjecture that had the Jews of Judea and Samaria and their leadership supported the kids who were falsely accused at DUMA we would now have in place a stronger and better leadership in Israel that would have added security to Yitzhar and Havat Gilad...perhaps this tragedy of Raziel Shevach hy"d  and Itamar ben Gal hy"d, and   future tragedies chas veshalom could have been prevented....

So long as these youngsters are still not receiving justice it is a stain on the entire Israel and a stain against the Leadership and Settlers of Judea and Samaria who allowed these kids to be scapegoated and branded as Jewish terrorists.

It is not only about Judea and Samaria.  Lieberman and Eisenkott are clearly not the best Leadership for our Chayalim so long as they are dictated by politics rather than military considerations, so long as they disregard Torah and Mitzvoth and lack Yirat Shamayim, and so long as IDF soldiers do not trust that the military has their back.

Above all, we need  G-d Fearing Leadership, and a Nation who is worthy of G-d's protection! 

Leadership can come from many fronts. 

Politics is messy but it says Lev Melachim Beyad Hashem. The hearts of  Kings is in the Hand of G-d. 

I do not envy Political Leaders of Israel.  I am not judging them. I am not in their place nor do I want to be nor do I face their challenges and tests and hard choices that drive their decisions.  

There is however something to say for those of us who are not Nogea baDavar who can see things with greater clarity than someone who is driven by politics. 

The purpose is not to bash Netanyahu, Bennett,  Lieberman and Eisenkott. The purpose is to do Teshuva, admit when we did wrong and correct our mistakes and resolve not to continue in this path in the future. Sometimes we need to push our leaders in a good direction to counter all the forces that are pushing them in a bad direction.

When we the people, Am Yisroel, All Jews United, are worthy, than surely the Leadership will also reflect the will of the people.  Let us therefore not let up with a campaign to bring true justice to these hilltop youth and in return may Hashem protect all of the Land of Israel with Security and Prosperity!



Open Letter to all of us in light of the recent tragedies:


We need to sound the trumpets!

Lieberman I believe was complicit with allowing Shabak to torture the hilltop youth re: Duma. We knew it then. Yet even Rabbanim and Leadership in Yesha allowed these youth to be blood libeled and branded as Jewish Terrorist so that the Media could then portray a balanced pic of Palestinian terrorists vs Jewish terrorists. 

Naftali Bennett as well, who is a star when he eulogizes victims of Arab Terror in Judea and Samaria, condemned, betrayed and  portrayed hilltop youth as Jewish terrorists in a NY Times OP ED in 2015. 

Recently by Raziel Shevach's funeral, following shouts for revenge, he made a comment that we should leave the security in the hands of the IDF.  My comment: That's great if the IDF is doing their job effectively. But what should one do when Security is lacking and the lives of the families living in places like Havat Gilad are at risk?

Please take a moment in history to review false media reports of Hilltop Youth of Judea and Samaria being portrayed as Jewish terrorists....

Duma Blood Libel - calling Hilltop Youth Jewish Terrorists.  Jan 12, 2015 New York Times Print Edition, Front Page blurb to article on page A9, Front cover Forward January 15, 2016

This libel did not come in a vacuum. Naftali Bennett has convicted them already in August 7, 2015 in a New York Times Op Ed. without even knowing their identity he called them terrorists, anarchists, a fifth column within Israel and like Hamas and Hezbollah they must face the full force of Israel's justice system and its defense establishment.  [If I was a lawyer of any of these Duma suspects, I would sue Bennett for defamation of character and mental anguish leading to near suicide,  false incarceration, torture and basically taking away months of my clients life away). Naftali Bennett, Prosecutor and Judge on Israel's Jewish Terrorists [Robin]
Naftali Bennett on Israel's Jewish Terrorists
AUG. 7, 2015 They killed the baby and his parents....
But they are also a tiny group. They do not represent the 400,000 residents of Jewish communities throughout the West Bank, the overwhelming majority of whom are law-abiding citizens and have condemned these acts of violence.
...The terrorists who killed Shira and Ali do not represent Israel or its people. They are a fringe group, made up of radical extremists who do not only seek to kill. Their ultimate goal is the destruction of the State of Israel. They act against and threaten the very premise of what the Zionist movement envisioned when returning to the Land of Israel after 2,000 years in exile — a Jewish and democratic state committed to equality and freedom for all its citizens. They are anarchists, a fifth column within Israel and like Hamas and Hezbollah, they must face the full force of Israel's justice system and its defense establishment.


At that point we should have raised the trumpets.  What was Bennett doing by giving credibility to the false narrative that there are Jewish terrorists?

Does it have to wait for more Karbanot like Raziel Shevach and Itamar ben Gal  hy"d for us to wake up from the brainwashing we assume was true? 

The Security around Havat Gilad was terrible as Yossi Dagan brought up and we need to investigate why. Why didn't Liberman make sure that cameras were installed as per requested from the residents of Yizhar?  Perhaps, let me postulate, he justified this breach of security  because Yizhar settlers are budding terrorists and lawbreakers and are unworthy of IDF protection as are Settlers of Havat Gilad. If you paint them as terrorists and subhuman and law breakers why protect them? They deserve what's coming to them. So who then gets to be the Korban? Raziel Shevach...the law breaker from Havat Gilad.

If you think that the Jews of Yitzhar didn't feel the isolation from their brethren, think again. Watch this video. (H)

Why did we have to thank Lieberman for saying he would look into normalizing Havat Gilad, when we should have figured out he was throwing a starving dog a bone, a few crumbs. Why didn't Yael Shevach remember or be reminded that he used almost the same lashon before they went ahead and demolished the 9 homes in Amona.

I get it.  It is a way to give him a way to save face and give him some good PR and take off some of the pointing fingers at him and pray that he will in fact send us some relief in return for not bashing him.  

It worked temporarily but I don't believe he would have followed through without being pressured. 

Soon it became clear that  he and Netanyahu had no alternative due to built up anger and frustration at the delay, when it became apparent that perhaps they were not going to follow through. 

This initial bone, announcing he would look into legalizing Havat Gilad, served to distract and take the offense off of LIeberman's own failures as Defense Minister,  and it worked.

But the gov't was forced to follow through to normalize Havat Gilad at least for now....

It is premature to let out a sigh of relief and we can not let go of the reigns. 

Let us not forget the past as it has continued ramifications especially as we are facing real threats from Hezbollah in the North and Hamas in the South. 

Strikes against the Israeli Defense Leadership:

Time for leaders living in Judea and Samaria to right a wrong for allowing a kid like Odess to be blood libeled and branded not to mention tortured.

Time to judge the likes of the Shabak, the Israel Supreme Court and Lieberman and Eisenkott for allowing  and being complicit in torture and a blood libel and Motzei Shem Ra and Lashon Hara.

Shochad MeAver Pikchim. Time to investigate if and any benefit the powers at large receive so that the hostile media gets to report about their young teen Jewish terrorists that they claim exist, detained and convicted without proof nor fair trial, no habeus corpus.... all with a Kosher Hechsher by MK's and Rabbanim.

My guess is that bread crumbs are being thrown all too often using divide and conquer technique so that "Territory folks don't stick together..."

This news will hopefully help Elisha Odess, the 19 year old Jewish teen from the Shomron who was arrested two years ago and brutally tortured by the Shin Bet until he "confessed" that he was involved in the arson of an Arab house  in the Arab village of Duma. There is no other evidence linking him to this event except for his forced confession which he gave after a week of unbearable torture. He has been held in jail without evidence under the purview of "Administrative Detention" which allows the Israeli government to hold a person prisoner indefinitely and with no legal recourse. May we finally see the end of this barbarism in the only democracy in the Middle East. 


ISRAEL OPENS BRUTALITY INVESTIGATION AGAINST SHIN BET: Jerusalem -
 Israel's Justice Ministry has launched an unprecedented criminal investigation against an interrogator from the Israel Security Agency over brutality allegations.
It marks the first time that an investigation has been opened since the Justice Ministry established a unit called Mivtan about 18 years ago to investigate complaints against the ISA, also known as the Shin Bet.
The complaint was filed against the ISA operative over an interrogation from 2015.
More than 1,100 complaints have been filed alleging misconduct and brutality by Shin Bet interrogators over the last 17 years, according to the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, which called the statistic "highly unflattering." The committee did not file the complaint against the operative under the criminal probe, according to Haaretz.
Both Mivtan and the Police Internal Investigations Department, or Mahash, must approve the launch of a criminal investigation against a Shin Bet agent. Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit was involved in the decision to investigate this interrogator, Haaretz reported, citing two unnamed sources.
"We hope that this precedent will usher change in the Shin Bet's interrogations procedures, in line with their legal and moral obligations," the committee said in a statement. "Personal accountability will encourage interrogators to adhere to legal practices, keeping in mind that even detainees, be them Jews or Palestinians, maintain their rights and dignity.

"By launching this unprecedented investigation, the Ministry of Justice sends a clear message that the Israeli Security Agency is not above the law and that interrogators crossing red lines will have to answer for their actions. The State of Israel acknowledges that torture is a prohibited and immoral practice, and that no justification can be made for the use of cruel or degrading treatment in breach of international treaties."
The Justice Ministry told Haaretz that 50 examinations of complaints were started in the last year.
"The process of examining the complaints has frequently led to different system-wide lessons being applied, or to disciplinary action being taken against investigators," the ministry said.
