Gay Display and Israel’s Discriminatory Legal System…

Perverted Sensibilities, by Evelyn Gordon (Jerusalem Post)

“Demonstrations in support of a left-wing cause – gay rights – are important enough to outweigh both religious sensibilities and threats of bloodshed, but demonstrations in support of a right-wing cause – Jewish rights on the Temple Mount – are not important enough to outweigh either.”

“Faith in the legal system, by enabling disputes to be resolved peaceably, is the glue that holds society together…. If… large segments of society become convinced that Israeli law does not grant them a fair hearing, many of their members are liable to conclude that they have no recourse except the law of the jungle: brute force.” read more

We Could Have Saved Gush Katif and Northern Samaria, by Nadia Matar (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

The strong responses from the ultra-Orthodox public has had an impact. This can already be considered a success.

First, the unity in the ultra-Orthodox camp is praiseworthy. All the communities, all the factions, all the rabbis sent out a single, clear message: “All of us, as a single person, are mobilized to prevent the ‘Abomination Parade’, at any cost.” Tens of thousands of fliers were distributed to the ultra-Orthodox community to instruct them what to do if and when they were to be arrested and sent to jail as a result of their protest. The message broadcast by the leaders of the struggle is clear: this parade is to be stopped, with determination and without sensitivity, even at the cost of sitting in prison. read more

Gay March and Other Such Public Gay Displays Must Be Banned — Permanently!

moshe

With the planned Gay Abomination only a week away, there are some points which need to be put out in blogosphere and digested, intellectualized and internalized.

Many years ago back in Chutz L’Aretz, this author learned early on after becoming Ba’al Teshuvah that Jewish history is cyclical. And so, this gay atrocity thrust upon Jerusalem, Eretz Yisrael and B’nai Yisrael is due for Erev Shabbos Vayeira whose Torah portion teaches about the two malachim whose task it was to save Lot and his family and to bring about destruction of the wicked, depraved and abominable Sodom. read more

Gay Bash a Bust, But Watch for Precedent

moshe

Today’s gay march in Jerusalem was, B’H a bust. While litigants from both sides spent most of Wednesday and Thursday wrapped in Supreme Court petition arguments, there were many more police and many more religious counter-demonstrators than there were fruity marchers. And the Big Deal; it came down to a march of a several hundred yards. One of Ryan Howard’s well-struck blasts travels further than the length of the parade.

Haaretz reported on the parade route; read more

Is Marching as a Gay the Greatest of Sins? By Shmuley Boteach (Jerusalem Post)

“Where were the haredi demonstrators when they were needed to protest disengagement?”

“Yarmulke-wearing men and boys were dragged, and pregnant women with their hair covered were torn from their homes. And even today, as so many of the residents of Gush Katif continue to live in makeshift housing, I know of few great ultra-Orthodox authorities who call what happened by its proper name: an abomination.” read more

Parsha Balak 5767: Bila’am, The Ba’al Peor and Dividing B’nai Yisrael From Within

moshe

by Moshe Burt

Shem Mishmuel brings a Rashi which discusses the unusual loshen — regalim (the word usually used to denote festivals) used in our Parsha Balak where Hashem brings the donkey to speak to Bila’am expressing; “What have I done to you, that you hit me these three times.” [1]

Shem Mishmuel brings Rashi quoting Chazal which notes: “These three times — it was a hint that he [Bila’am] wanted to uproot the Jewish nation, who celebrate three pilgrim festivals each year.” [2] read more

Outrage Against OU Decision to Honor Ehud Olmert

Full Text;

Protesters, including religious Jewish immigrants from North America who were evicted from their homes during the Disengagement and wounded by police brutality at Amona, will protest the Orthodox Union’s decision to honor Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at their annual convention in Jerusalem.

A protest rally under the banner “Hey OU – Olmert isn’t kosher” will take place outside the convention. “I find it hard to comprehend why a Torah organization would want to invite a person who has practically declared war on the National Religious camp in Israel,” protester Steve Schwartz wrote to the organization. “Your organization’s actions are a slap in the face to your fellow religious Jews in Israel.” read more

Prediction Confirmed — Olmert: Realignment Definitely Not Dead…. Read My Lips: I’m Ready for Territorial Compromises…

moshe

Commentary;

As predicted on this Blog, here, here, here, here, here and more: The two reports below, including the chilling Newsweek-Washington Post interview with prime minister Olmert ought to be food for momentum to build among those Jews who look at their fellows as brethren and who passionately love this holy land, Eretz Yisrael. Does it get any more obvious, any more black and white than this? And those who care had better make an all-out effort to enlist the Chareidim, even over the Chareidi politicians, those self-proclaimed “gatekeepers” who guard the “gedolim” from the full story like Bernie tended goal. They, the masses of Chareidim need to absorb and intellectualize that the fight against convergence is AT LEAST AS IMPORTANT as confronting the gay display! MB read more

Remembering Rav Kahane z’l

By Moshe Burt

It’s hard to find the right words this year to commemorate the Yahrtzeit of Rav Meir Kahane z’l. These days, those of us who know his way to be Tzadek, have been monopolized fighting-off gay displays and fighting for the Torah way in Eretz Yisrael against the elitists who control the mainstream, overwhelmingly, morally corrupt Israeli institutions.

The Rav consistently, uncompromisingly and doggedly pursued and articulated, by both the written and spoken word as well as by deed, love of fellow Jew, love of Torah and love of and possession of Eretz Yisrael. read more
