Protexia Governance Views Sderot People as Economically Expendable

.
Commentary;

Among the ills of protexia-class governance is the penchant to line their own pockets while exhibiting outrageous miserliness toward those segments of the population which directly face war zones and whose physical and economic lives are harrassed and damaged daily.

The too-tired governmental adherents of distorted Western ‘turn-the-other-check’ “morality” (taking care for the lives of your enemy while that very enemy draws your blood endlessly) refuse to fight a winning war in defense of Sderot and the other southern Negev towns, just as they refused to fight to win in Lebanon. In the aftermath of handcuffed military efforts, those lacking financial resources to relocate from directly facing either war zone, and who are thus forced to remain stuck in an Israeli government-imposed war zone, are subject to the callous governmental refusal of any physical, military or economic assistance.

Merkel’s Knesset Speech: Olmert Regime Goes Along With Farce

.
Commentary;

Near the end of Caroline Glick’s article below, she suggests three things that Israel do to express a power game; Use of her economic leverage by virtue of technological prowess, impressing on the Germans and the other Europeans that Israel possesses considerable military power (despite the Lebanon fiasco of two years ago) and will use it to defeat its enemies and exposition of “Europe’s humanitarian and pro-peace rhetoric as a hypocritical sham” meant to cover over both their long-engrained disdain, if not outright hatred for Jews, as well economic and diplomatic appeasement of the Islamic world. read more

Chief Rabbis Discourage Firecrackers

.
Commentary;

The Mercaz HaRav pogrom has had a profound impact on the Rabbanim.

One may recall that many in the community mistook the terrorist’s gunshots for firecrackers.

On Sunday, Rav Kanievsky issued p’sak banning employment of Arabs.

Now the Chief Ashkenaz and S’fardi Rabbis have issued a ban on firecrackers. Perhaps now, if Israelis bother to listen to Rabbis (highly doubtful), we may hear less of those booms around Ramat Beit Shemesh which sound very much like gunfire or Kassams. MB read more

Top Hareidi Rav Issues Ban on Arab Labor

.
Commentary;

Here’s a Rabbinic decision which is long overdue. It’s a shame that it apparently took a tragedy, the terror attack at Yeshiva Merkaz HaRav, to bring about the decision to Rabbinically ban employment of Arab workers by Jews.

One can only hope that practical application of the ban spreads from Yeshivas, restaurants and stores to the building and construction trades.

One can only hope that Rav Kanievsky, who issued the decision, is supported and not over-ruled in Hareidi circles and that the decision and its application are supported steadfastly in the inevitable future ensuing legal battles with the leftist Israeli “justice system” which are sure to arise.

Parsha Tzav and Purim: Our Ketores — the Good and the Bad

.

by Moshe Burt

In writing a vort on Purim, this author thinks back to a theme addressed in an earlier Siyum on Mesechta Megillah from three years ago as well as another recurring theme on this blog.

The Jew separates and distinguishes himself from the rest of the nations through the Mitzvah of Bris Milah, even though many of our contemporary Jewish brothers would distance themselves from, or stand in denial of their Yiddishkeit. But many among our Jewish brethren would deny Hashem’s control of the world and seek to tailor Torah and their Jewishness to fit the ways of the nations rather than accepting Hashem’s reishut (command) over the world. read more
