Jews Against Nationalism

from The Rav: ON ZIONISM, UNIRSALISM AN FEMISM by Simcha Kraus : R. Meiselman makes one more claim. The Rav's views on Zionism and Medinat Yisrael were the same as those of his uncle, the Brisker Rav zt. R. Meiselman states: "In his eulogy for his uncle, Rav Yitzhak Ze'ev Soloveitchik (the Brisker Rav) published subsequently under the title Ma Dodekh Midod, the Rav said that whereas a secular Jewish government in Israel does not fit into any halakhic categories, it is religiously irrelevant. This was not just a formulation of his uncle's position, but it was his as well. This is the essential theme of his essay Dodi Dofek, in which he states clearly that the importance of the State of Israel has to be evaluated in exclusively pragmatic terms." Who is being more dishonest here? Meiselman is not saying that RJBS and his uncle have the same view overall, just on the point of the state being halachically irrelevant. But Meiselman too isn't being honest. He

On January 14, 1972, without explicit instructions by the Israeli government, [7] Ariel Sharon ordered the expulsion of the Bedouins of the Rafah Plain, about 18 square miles of land in northeast Sinai, together with the razing of their orchards and the blocking of their water wells. [7] The tribal sheikhs claimed 20,000 people were affected by the expulsion. Israeli army statistics put the number of expelled at 4,950. Those with tents were given a day to remove them. Those in concrete houses were given an extra day to leave, and their homes were reduced to rubble. [8] Bulldozers, following a map design drawn by Sharon, drove down a swathe extending several dozen metres wide where the Bedouins were encamped, and smashed everything in their way. [7] The decision to build Yamit was approved by the Israeli government in September 1973. Settling northeastern Sinai was an idea strongly promoted by Moshe Dayan . [9] The idea was subsequently proposed in a document on Israeli po

Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman, Rosh Yeshiva of Baranovitch (1875-1940) The Torah teaches here that the war against Amalek exists in all generations until the coming of the messiah. However, the "Amalek" is not always the same. In the olden days when the Jewish people was ruled only by Torah, the enemies were the descendants of Amalek in the gentile world. But ever since we have thrown off the yoke of the Torah, the seed of Amalek thrives in our midst. We now have many who violate the Torah out of spite, such as the Yevsekses – Jewish Communists – who live not only in the Soviet Union but in all of the world, wherever there are Jews, and also in Palestine. The Hellenizers there are the same Yevsekses – there is no difference between them, except that these write in Yiddish and those write in modern Hebrew… People are so ignorant today, that a large percentage of Jews support them with money, so that they might be bigger and stronger. They do not know or understand the wor

Here's how insane are the Dati Leumi/"Religious" Zionists. The Israeli police have recommended indictment of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu for bribery and misuse of office to gain favorable political coverage in the press. He is even accused of offering the attorney general position to a retired judge if she'd drop the indictment that has already been issued against the PMs wife after taking the position. That's significant corruption and several of his aides have signed agreements to testify against him. There are four cases that the police very carefully prepared for many months. It's big news that reminds one of Watergate. It is interesting how many of the charges involve manipulating the press. The PM is a master of public relations and propaganda. Watergate dominated the news for what felt like years, maybe it was many months, and we still talk about it. And this story is all over Haaretz. Even the JPost has broken down and started to cover i

“The Zionist establishment and the Israeli establishment from more or less 1948, certainly from 1949, said that the Palestinian refugee problem was caused primarily by Arab radio broadcasts, by leaders of the Arab world on the radio, asking or advising or ordering the Arabs of Palestine to leave their homes to make way if you like for the Arab armies who were about to invade to clear the battle field as it were so that they wouldn’t be caught up in the battle and wouldn’t hamper the Arab advances in the prospective war. From the evidence I gathered and I looked at masses of evidence over the years writing the two versions of the book on the Palestinian refugee problem, there is no basis for the allegation that there were radio broadcasts calling on the Arabs to leave Palestine, not by their own leaders and not by the Arab leaders from outside. No basis for it. There simply were no such broadcasts. How do we know this, because the Hagganah intelligence service monitored on a daily basis

That it’s a terrorist group, proscribed both by the   United States   and the   European Union ? That it rules Gaza   with an iron fist ? That it’s killed hundreds of innocent Israelis with   rocket ,   mortar , and   suicide   attacks? But did you also know that Hamas — which is an   Arabic acronym   for “Islamic Resistance Movement” — would probably not exist today were it not for the Jewish state? That the Israelis helped turn a bunch of fringe Palestinian Islamists in the late 1970s into one of the world’s most notorious militant groups? That Hamas is   blowback ? This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Listen to former Israeli officials such as Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later   told   a New York Times reporter that he had helped

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have demolished the only educational facility in a Bedouin Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank. The demolition was reportedly aimed at paving the way for an Israeli settlement project. Israeli soldiers backed up by a helicopter knocked down the two-classroom facility located in the Abu Al-Nawwar community situated east of Jerusalem early on Sunday. The Israeli police and members of the IDF Civil Administration  “stormed”  the community, cordoned off the area and demolished the building that served as the community’s only school, the Jordanian Petra news agency reports, citing local community member Dawood Jahaleen. Footage from the Ruptly video news agency shows the school children standing around the demolished building and sitting on the rubble as they wave Palestinian flags. The children, who came to the ruins of their school, were also holding placards that read:  “It is my right. Do not demolish my school”  as well as  “

------------------------------------------------- http://www.phdn.org/archives/holocaust-history.org/auschwitz/chemistry/iffr/report.shtml Final Remarks The present study shows that in spite of the passage of a considerable period of time (over 45 years) in the walls of the facilities which once were in contact with hydrogen cyanide the vestigial amounts of the combinations of this constituent of Zyklon B have been preserved. This is also true of the ruins of the former gas chambers. The cyanide compounds occur in the building materials only locally, in the places where the conditions arose for their formation and persistence for such a long time. In his reasoning Leuchter  (2)  claims that the vestigial amounts of cyanide combinations detected by him in the materials from the chamber ruins are residues left after fumigations carried out in the Camp "once, long ago"(Item 14.004 of the Report). This is refuted by the negative results of the examination of the contr

https://972mag.com/israels-involvement-in-bosnian-genocide-to-remain-under-wraps/123503/ Israel’s Supreme Court last month rejected a petition to reveal details of Israeli defense exports to the former Yugoslavia during the genocide in Bosnia in the 1990s. The court ruled that exposing Israeli involvement in genocide would damage the country’s foreign relations to such an extent that it would outweigh the public interest in knowing that information, and the possible prosecution of those involved. The petitioners, Attorney Itay Mack and Professor Yair Oron, presented the court with concrete evidence of Israeli defense exports to Serbian forces at the time, including training as well as ammunition and rifles. Among other things, they presented the personal journal of General Ratko Mladić, currently on trial at the International Court of Justice for committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Mladić’s journal explicitly mentions Serbia’s ample arms ties with Israel a

Jews Against Zionism–an intro to their perspective "Jews Against Zionism by Stephen Lendman They’re numerous, outspoken, and range from secular to orthodox to one group calling itself “True Torah Jews Against Zionism.” They believe that “traditional” Jews don’t support Zionism, an ideology they call “contrary to Jewish law and beliefs and the teachings of the Holy Torah.” They say Zionism: – advocates “a political and military end to the Jewish exile;” – fosters “pseudo-Judaism” based on secular nationalism; – coercively seeks “armed materialism” in place of “a Divine and Torah centered understanding;” – endangers all Jews worldwide; – wants to disassociate Jews and traditional Judaism from ideological Zionism; and – calls Israel a “Zionist State,” not a Jewish one. They: – cite their concern for “peace and safety of all people throughout the world including those living in the Zionist state” and in Occupied Palestine; – say from ancient times until 100 ye

I found myself at 12 AM in Jerusalem with my kids and needed a hotel room. I found a large hotel and went to the check in desk and asked for a room. The woman at the desk told me they have rooms but they don’t like to have kids there because kids make too much noise. I told her, they just want to sleep. We’ll be gone in the morning. I have credit card, can I have a room? She said no and sent us out to the street at midnight.

Chareidi IDF Officer Tried To Compel A Religious Soldier To Enter An APC With Women February 8, 2018 12:15 pm A chareidi officer tried to compel a religious IDF soldier to enter an APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) with female soldiers. The soldier refused and was incarcerated for twelve days, Kan News military correspondent Carmella Menashe revealed on Wednesday evening 22 Shevat. The religious soldier is serving in the Artillery Corps and a chareidi company commander tried to compel him to enter the APC, despite his objections to being in the confined closed space with females. The IDF Spokesperson responded: “This is a soldier who was tried for the second time against an incident of refusing orders. In this case he was sentenced to 12 days in prison. ” As mentioned, the Joint Service Ordinance recently came into the headlines due to a public struggle being waged by national religious parties, including the Chief Rabbi of Tzefas Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu Shlita.

Summary from a youtube comment : From the start of political Zionism in the 1890s, Haredi leaders voiced objection to its secular orientation and before the establishment of the State of Israel, the majority of Haredi Jews were opposed to Zionism. This was chiefly due to the concern that secular nationalism would replace the Jewish faith and the observance of religion, and the view that it was forbidden for the Jews to reconstitute Jewish rule in the Land of Israel before the arrival of the Messiah. In 1889, Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveichik had proclaimed early Zionist initiatives as resembling the 17th-century false messianic sect headed by Sabbatai Zevi. His son Rabbi Hayyim Soloveichik further warned: "The people of Israel should take care not to join a venture that threatens their souls, to destroy religion, and is a stumbling block to the House of Israel." [10] When the Zionists in Brisk claimed that Zionism would stem the tide of Jewish assimilation, Soloveichik felt
