Jews Against Nationalism

Moshe Levinger - Dati Leumi Lunatic Moshe Levinger  ( Hebrew :  משה לוינגר ‎‎; 1935 – May 16, 2015) was an Israeli  Religious Zionist  activist and an  Orthodox   Rabbi  who, since 1967, had been a leading figure in the movement to settle Jews in the territories occupied by Israel during the 1967  Six-Day War . He is especially known for leading Jewish settlement in  Hebron  in 1968, and for being one of the principals of the now defunct [1]  settler movement  Gush Emunim , founded in 1974, among whose ranks he assumed legendary status. Levinger was reportedly involved in violent acts against Palestinians. [2]  wiki

בראשית מט : יא אסרי לגפן עירה ולשרקה בני אתנו כבס ביין לבשו ובדם־ענבים סותה “ He binds his foal to the vine, and his ass's colt to the choice vine-branch. He has washed his garment in wine, and his mantle in the blood of grapes.” (Genesis 49:11) So Jacob visualises  משיח (the Messiah I.L.), and how does he see him? He sees the saviour of mankind, the conqueror of nations, not on a steed, but on a young ass's foal. The "ass" is always used to represent peaceful well-being, peaceful national greatness, whereas "steed" is used to represent military might. Similarly the ass is chosen from all the "unclean", animals, to express by פטר חמור the dedication of all one's movable possessions. It is the animal that carries people at a leisurely pace and bears his packs and baggage for him. Thus the Jewish conception of the power of kings is not to be represented by horses. The Jewish Kings were prohibited by the Torah להרבות סוס . A Jew

The Madness Decades ago an older family friend was mugged in the Bronx on the way to a baseball game. He was driving around in his car looking for parking when some locals on the street directed him down a road that turned out to be a dead end. It was trap. They approached the car and demanded money. He was trembling. One of them said, I see you have got the kids here, so just give us 20 bucks. Just today, erev Shabbos, I was in a garage in Israel, a kind of garage, rudimentary shopping area with basement stores when I heard a shouting match. It wasn't the usual Israeli shouting match, but seemed to escalate from there to where I was expecting a fistfight to break out. I ignored it at first, not wanting to be a machlochus tourist but as the shouting continued over a ten minute period and escalatied to the point of pure rage, I decided to walk over. I saw a tall olive skinned man in frum dress and a light beard howling at a much smaller man that carried a baby in his arms.

The Talmud is not the problem but the solution Maybe it's just the places I have been frequenting lately on the Internet, but I'm encountering what seems an increasing number of gentiles (and perhaps a handful of non-religious Jews) who are catching on to the sham that is Zionism. No, their realizations are not theological. There's no referencing of the Three Oaths from the Gemara in Kesubos, the ones that prohibit taking the land by force or rebelling against the nations. They don't label the state a false messiah or an idol worship as many ultra-Orthodox Jews will do. What they see is that the State of Israel is not a normal country, that its aggressiveness, paranoia, self-righteousness, racism, deviousness, and sheer selfishness are taking the world down a very dangerous path of fascism and possibly even annihilation. I won't elaborate here because the evidence is so substantial that any meaningful presentation of it will distract me from the point I want to

Who Are the Leading State Sponsors of Terrorism? Philip M. GIRALDI ...A recent detailed analysis by former US intelligence officers has demonstrated just how the claim that Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism is almost completely fabricated. The analysis explains how these false narratives are contrived and how they become part of the Washington background noise. The White House’s recent National Security Strategy Report for 2018 stated that “Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, has taken advantage of instability to expand its influence through partners and proxies, weapon proliferation, and funding.” But another US government report, the annual Country Reports on Terrorism 2016 cites no actual terrorist incidents initiated by Iran in that year. In fact, the most recent terrorist incident attributed to Tehran was in 2012, and that was retaliatory against Israel, which was at the time assassinating its scientists and technicians and attacking its compu

Status: Active Year: 2011 Description: The “Nakba Law” authorizes the Finance Minister to reduce state funding or support to an institution if it holds an activity that rejects the existence of Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state” or commemorates “Israel’s Independence Day or the day on which the state was established as a day of mourning.” Palestinians traditionally mark Israel’s official Independence Day as a national day of mourning and organize commemorative events. The law violates their rights, and restricts their freedom to express their opinion, and will cause substantial harm to cultural and educational institutions and further entrench discrimination. The law causes major harm to the principle of equality and the rights of Arab citizens to preserve their history and culture. The law deprives Arab citizens of their right to commemorate the Nabka, an integral part of their history. On 4 May 2011, Adalah, ACRI, the parents of school children and school alumni  filed

The western press has been shocked by the images of 15-year-old Tarek Abu Khdeir, of Tampa, FL, following his beating by Israeli forces last Thursday in Shuafat, East Jerusalem. Israeli officials have sought to justify the treatment by saying that Abu Khdeir had hurled rocks from a slingshot at Israeli forces. The boy has denied this. This narrative ought to be familiar to the western press. It is a very old script inside the occupied territories when Palestinian boys are suspected of throwing stones, or they are near other children who have thrown stones. Two years ago, the Israeli human rights’ organization Breaking the Silence published a report on the brutal treatment of children, titled, “Children and Youth– Soldiers’ Testimonies, 2005-2011.” If there is one theme in the 70-page report of anonymous statements, it is Israeli soldiers beating Palestinian children “to a pulp.” The word “pulp” appears 12 times in the report. Here are several of the references, describing boy

I just looked up the city name Majdal in Wiki. Here's what I got: Majdal  ( Arabic :  مجدل ‎, meaning "tower") is a common  place name  in  Israel ,  Syria  and  Palestine  and can refer to: Contents    [ hide ]  1 Israel 2 Palestine 3 Syria 4 Lebanon 5 See also Israel [ edit ] al-Majdal or al-Majdal Asqalan, a Palestinian village depopulated in 1948, now part of  Ashkelon  in Israel al-Majdal, Tiberias , a Palestinian village depopulated in 1948, now in Israel, thought to be the site of ancient Magdala Khirbat al-Majdal , a Palestinian village depopulated in 1948, now in Israel al-Majdal, a Palestinian village in Haifa Subdistrict depopulated in 1925, now part of  Ramat Yohanan  in Israel Al-Mujaydil , a village depopulated in 1948, now in Israel Majd al-Krum , a town in northern Israel 5 depopulated cities, that is depopulated of Arabs. 

The Peel Commission Report of 1937 and the Origins of the Partition Concept The Peel proposal doesn't sound so reasonable. It gives the zionists about 2/3 of the coastline, the Keneret, and the fertile northern vallies plus Jaffa and Haifa. Only 10 years earlier there were just 80.000 Jews in Palestine. By '37 it was up to 400,000 so something would have to be done but this wasn't it. Plus, the zionist leaders made clear this would be the place from which they'd take everything. It's understandable that the Arabs rejected it.

21 Kislev - Who Saved the Satmar Rebbe? from Torah Jews  http://www.truetorahjews.org/ "Kastner testified at his own trial that his main concern had been “that most of the Zionist leadership should leave Budapest with the transport.” Even those 1684 Jews that eventually went on the transport were released only thanks to huge sums of money and valuable objects, collected by the Jewish communities of Hungary – mostly by the Orthodox in Budapest. The fact that so much of the money came from the Orthodox was the main reason why Kastner was forced to include in his list some Orthodox rabbis, notably the Satmar Rebbe, for whose seat the Orthodox activist Chaim Roth personally paid a huge sum. Rabbi Yonasan Steiff and Rabbi Shlomo Tzvi Strasser were also included. Despite all the money paid on his behalf, Kastner at first refused to save the Satmar Rebbe, knowing that he was an enemy of the Zionist party. He only agreed to do it at the insistence of his father-in-law, Dr. Joseph

Since '48, Palestine has averaged 24 terrorist acts a year. Out of millions of people. You cannot equate Palestinians with terrorism even if it serves your political purposes. Even if you believe the Shin Beit's figures that it prevented 400 attacks of terror this year, that is still 400 out of 4 million people which is .01%. And most of those so called planned acts of terror were intended against military targets which arguably is not terrorism. So this whole Arabs are terrorists mantra is a big lie to allow Israelis to be the terrorists.

There are many ways to serve one's country. In sophisticated and healthy societies, people contribute according to their aptitudes. Kindly people become social workers. Those who are good at math become scientists or accountants or math teachers if they also happen to be good at teaching. And solders become solders. A normal country needs all of these contributions, these ways of serving. In Israel, which claims to having a modern economy and vibrant democracy, there's a common conception that everybody has to be a solder, even people who are not cut out for it, even people who are damaged by the experience. The claim is that security needs dictate this but this is an opinion not a fact. The fact is Israel has not been in a war against another country in 40 years and arguably a country doesn't need every young person in military uniform unless it is at war. Israel needs defense forces but it does not need to act as though it is in a major war when it is not. There's a b

The Israeli settlers of  Gush Katif  built  greenhouses  and experimented with new forms of agriculture. These greenhouses provided employment for hundreds of Gazans. When Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2005, more than 3,000 (about half) of the greenhouses were purchased with $14 million raised by former  World Bank  president  James Wolfensohn , and given to Palestinians to jump-start their economy. The rest were demolished by the departing settlers before there were offered a compensation as an inducement to leave them behind. [202]  The farming effort faltered due to limited water supply, Palestinian looting, restrictions on exports, and corruption in the Palestinian Authority. Many Palestinian companies repaired the greenhouses damaged and looted by the Palestinians after the Israeli withdrawal. [203]  (wikipedia)

Rabbi Yitzchok Yaakov Reines, founder of Mizrachi (1839-1915) In his Sefer Haarachim (pp. 298-299), Rabbi Reines explains that the Ramban in Sefer Hamitzvos advocates “conquering” Eretz Yisroel only in a peaceful way: We must ask on the Ramban: How is it possible to say that there is a mitzvah on us to expel the Ishmaelite kingdom? Are we not foresworn not to go up as a wall (Kesubos 111a)? Yet the Ramban holds that the mitzvah of conquest applies even during exile, when the land is not under Jewish rule. The answer is that the Ramban means conquest by purchase, that it is a mitzvah to buy land in Eretz Yisroel and to settle there, for conquest does not have to mean through war.

The world's most humane army is at it again. Israeli Soldiers Detained 6-year-old Palestinian Boy for Five Hours After He Threw Stones  - Haaretz The Israeli army says young Ashraf, who is having a hard time sleeping, participated in a violent disturbance and was not arrested, but merely removed from the scene read more:  https://www.haaretz.com/ middle-east-news/palestinians/ 1.830752 A week ago Saturday, Palestinian news sites boiled over. Israel Defense Forces soldiers had arrested a 6-year-old boy from the Jalazun refugee camp in the West Bank, they reported. There is no limit to their evil, web surfers raged. The IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, rushed to intervene through his Facebook page. In a post at 8 P.M., he wrote in Arabic that the child had taken part in violent confrontations and even threw stones. “In contrast to what was written in the Palestinian media, the boy was not arrested but t

I see lots of debate on TV and in people's homes about the question of whether the Israeli government treats Palestinians ethically. And the Israel defenders pretty much as a rule call anyone who questions the government or the army antisemitic, self-hating as Jews, or blinded by leftist propaganda. And rather than get into the silliness of all that obvious defensivenss, I prefer to do what people tend to do when in a stalemate with another party. Take it court. Enter Richard Goldstone. He is a very distinguished South African judge who led war tribunals on Rwanda and Yugoslavia . If you listen to him talk, he's quite intelligent, level-headed, and fair in his manner. He's also Jewish and a self-proclaimed Zionist who sits on the board of Hebrew University. The UN asked him to lead the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict. So if he is going to criticize Israel, you can't call him an antisemite or a self-hating Jew. You can't say he doesn'

How Are Chareidi Combat Soldiers Fed In The IDF? https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/1434406/how-are-chareidi-combat-soldiers-fed-in-the-idf.html The saying in the IDF is “The army marches on it stomach”, stressing the importance of feeding combat soldiers well. That being the case, a soldier in Nachal Chareidi photographed the meal he and his colleagues were served, citing when it comes to chareidi soldiers there appears to be a different standard. He states that “We did not even get bread”, and anyone who has served in the IDF knows there is an abundance of bread at all meals.
