To understand Israel

To understand Israel you have to look at religion as well as politics. The Talmud tells us that God gave Torah to the Jews to tame them. "A Tanna taught in the name of R. Meir: Why was the Torah given to Israel? Because they are impetuous." (Talmud - Mas. Beitzah 25b) The Medieval commentator Rashi explains that the Torah will channel their energies. The Talmud says also, "The laws of these are like fire, for had not the Law been given to Israel no nation or tongue could withstand them. And this is what R. Simeon b. Lakish said: There are three distinguished in strength [fierce]: Israel among the nations, the dog among animals, [and] the cock among birds."

The Jews are a powerful people. I'm not talking about the State of Israel but Jewish people in general. They are smart, strong, bold, wily. There's a reason why they have won 22% of Nobel prizes even though they are less than two tenths of a percent of world population. There's a reason they stayed in tact despite 2,000 years in exile, without their own land. There's a reason they were able to build a country on the sand despite ridiculous odds.God set this up so you can't eradicate them or their strength. You'll always lose that war.

The Israelis who are wrecking havoc on the planet are non-religious Jews. The founders of the country opposed traditional religion. David Gen Gurion, Moshe Dayan, Golda Meir, and Yitzchak Rabin all were atheists. These people cast off the Torah so their Jewish energies and that of the millions they lead are like gasoline on the outside of a gas tank. Jews in other countries have gentile leaders to answer to so their energies are channeled somewhat, though still non-religious Jews can cause trouble anywhere. But in Israel, there is nothing constraining them. They are wild and ferocious. They will do things that no other people in the world will do. The ultra-Orthodox community is wise to this and opposes Zionism and its heretical leaders.

Questioning the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic. If one looks more to the Talmud, he will see warnings about the antics of non-religious Jews and the danger they pose. Again, the world will always have Jews. The world has made the mistake for many thousands of years of trying to eliminate Jews. It has also made the mistake of trying to keep Jews from practicing their religion. The solution actually is to get Jews to practice their religion. That is the only cure and the one thing the world has never tried.

It is not unfair to say that the harm that the State of Israel is now inflincting on the planet is a punishment for thousands of years of obstruction of religious practice. Why America should be the target of this cause and effect is a bit of a puzzle since America does not bear this guilt. But America has become incredibly decadent so there's guilt there enough to warrant penalty. That America has been so easily led into the silly war on terror, killing millions and wasting trillions, reveals its core problems and own tendency towards violence for which it has a terrible track record. So there's guilt enough to go around here and all rage should not be towards the State of Israel. We all need to look into the mirror.

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...
