Duma Torture Case

Can't say we weren't warned. How many gadolim needed to condemn secular Zionism before we got the message that Jews cannot live successfully without Torah. As the Talmud says, if not for Torah, Jews would destroy the world because they are "az", ie bold.

Israeli's anti-terrorism laws are not appropriate for a civilized democracy. However, Israel endures a situation unlike that of any other democracy in that it is surrounded by a billion enemies that work daily to destroy it. That would be the justification for the policy of harsh dealing with terrorists.

The logic does not apply to a few isolated cases of crazy Jewish youth. There is no epidemic of Jewish terrorism. The Israeli cabinet completely contradicted the intent of the policies in applying them here. The cabinet members are so driven by rhetoric, politics, and ambition, so inured to a sense of justice and compassion, that they have taken secular Zionism to a nadir reminiscent of the days when heartless fanatics chopped the payus off of religious children and separated them from their parents. Nothing has changed.

But this isn't just a temporary blemish  in the State of Israel. It is the mark of leprosy that reveals the spiritual sickness of the whole creature. I have lived here now for six months and I see it, I see a barren society whose greatest pleasures in life are typing into smart phones and shouting impatiently. I could say a lot more about what I have seen but I don't want to embarrass half of klal Yisroel publicly.

That the leaders of the country can openly promote the torture of teenage Jewish boys who are suspects in a isolated crime shouldn't come as a surprise. This is secular Zionism. It takes pride only in its might and arrogance even as we all know that it couldn't survive a day without American weapons and money. Tough guys, so tough. When Moshiach comes they will evaporate. They cannot exist in the presence of holiness because they are the opposite.

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions - by Megila

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions. He was the one who made up the story of those Gedolim signing a paper was the Medinah is the aschalta degeulah, and he was the one who doctored the story of the meeting of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah in 1937 where he left out the poiastion of people like Rav Ahron Kotler. He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra...

The Real Charedim

It seems sometimes in the Mistake of Israel that anybody who isn't anti-religious, which essentially is most of the country, is Charedi, ie. claims to be. Oh I'm Charedi. Oh he's Charedi. That's what one hears from people as they march along with their smart phones, flags, and blue jeans. And I won't even give you a picture of how their wives and daughters dress and conduct themselves. They are all Charedi. I suspect that they make this claim because they see that irr-Religious Zionism is so empty. Oh, they still buy into all the myths about the Mistake and the army but they see intuitively that there's nothing else there. They want to latch onto the rich life of real Charedim, and the easy way to do that is with a simple declaration. And what about most of the country being anti-religious, well that's not necessarily how they'd describe themselves. After all, some have religious brothers and sisters and grandmothers. Some are just not hostile people and...
