Judaism and Zionism are not the same thing.

Judaism and Zionism are not the same thing. These שקרנים are trying to get us involved, so they're trying to say that all the Arab states and all the other states are enemies of the Jews. That's a lie! You'll say, "But aren't Arab gentiles enemies of the Jews?" It could be, but they're not different than other gentiles. The fact that they are against the State of Israel is a political expediency that has nothing to do with us. And therefore, we shouldn't allow ourselves to be drawn into this maelstrom of political hatred that the Zionists would like to have. They want us all committed so we should all be in the same boat, chas vesholom. We'll all sink together. Nothing doing! Nothing doing! We're a separate entity! And the truth is, we're more than separate. They're against the Torah! They're atheists! Golda Meir is an atheist. A man gave me a clipping this weak. Golda Meir wrote a memoir. She wrote there that in 1917 she got married. So she said she doesn't want to be married by a rabbi, because she is a Socialist, and she refused. She had a long, drawn out fight with her mother in Milwaukee. The mother said, "You'll ruin me if you'll get married in City Hall." But Golda Meir insisted. She didn't want. Finally, her mother said, "Look, just because of fifteen minutes under the chuppah that you don't want to do, you are willing to ruin my name in Milwaukee?" So she consented. She was married by a rabbi. They're our enemies these people. They hate Judaism! Not that they are merely indifferent; they hate it. Sadat came to America, and they served him a kosher meal for Mohammedans. Mohammedans can't eat some things, and they served only a meal that a Mohammedan can eat. But when these people came, from the Knesses, they served shrimp! So you see that these people don't represent us. So our connection with these people is the same connection as with Christians....And when the Torah says you're a brother, you're a brother means אחיך במצוות -- only the one who has the same commitment to מצוות as you have.

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...
