So what have you been told

So what have you been told about Israel? Bookstores on every corner. Vibrant democracy. Thriving economy. People with a work home balance. People who are there when you need them. A government that cares. Rich community life. Good medical care and schools.

I was told all that too. And I may be undergoing a very expensive lesson in reality to find that none of it is true.

It isn't only the Duma torture incident that taught me. It's six months looking for a bookstore, trying to find someone with whom to talk politics, commuting 2.5 hours to work each way every day to battle with highly driven work obsessed hyper-critical difficult people, and struggling with a sub-par medical system. Also six months dealing with impatient, unhelpful, uncaring, rude, abrasive, arrogant Israelis - with a few exceptions.

But Duma certainly helped to show me how utterly dishonest are the leaders of Israel. They want us to believe it's necessary to torture Jewish teenage boys for a month because the boys plan to take over the country.

All this tells you is the the PM and his buddies lie so often that they don't even know how absurd they sound anymore. All it tells you is that they are so used to inflicting unnecessary violence on the world that they don't even notice it anymore.

In short, their credibility has been reduced to zero in my mind.

It doesn't leave a person with much. If you are in America, stay put. You'll lose in every way by coming here. There are so many lies floating around this place, and they are woven by such expert liars that you'll suffer long and hard before you unwind it all. Don't put yourself through it.

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...
