Time for new leadership

I had thought that the darkest days of my Aliyah would be what I experienced around the end of the second month, after the novelty wore off, after I had visited the kotel a few times, when the savings whittled down to scary levels, and the reality of the true challenges of language acquisition made themselves well known. However, none of that times 100 compares to my shock over the torture of teenage Jewish boys in the Duma incident and the downright bizarre comments by the Prime and cabinet ministers. American Vice-President Dick Cheney on his worst day would not order the torture of three teenage American citizens and offer the rationale that these kids threatened the very existence of the country. He’d be laughed out of office. The press wouldn’t let him get away it and neither would the average citizen. The Israeli Defense Forces must be in pretty bad shape if three teenagers threaten to conquer them.

I have been observing PM BN my entire adult life and feel ashamed now to say that I looked up to him. He’s defending his people I’d say to those who accused him of war crimes. He orders military action only when he has no choice. That is what I thought. But now I'm thinking differently. And I suspect that I'm not the only one.

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.

Apikorsis in Eretz Yisroel

But today, we live in an atmosphere of  kefirah  [denial]. The whole world is  kefirah  today. And today, to get  emunah   peshutah  it is not easy at all. If a person says "I have  emunah   peshutah ," it means he is just dodging his responsibility, when you have to work to get  emunah , he's looking for a  teretz  [excuse] to get out of it, that's all.  Emunah   peshutah  today is very, very rare. If you're born into a very  frum  family, you get a certain degree. But even then, from the street it comes into the house, we don't realize. Once you come into America, or you come into England or Holland, or into Eretz Yisroel today, you should know, you're soaking in  apikorsus . Even the  fruma , under the skin, they have no  emunah  at all, a very thin veneer. You have to work hard, you must labor to get  emunah  today. It's very important to listen to these lessons, and ma...
