Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

.
Commentary:

IMRA’s (Independent Media Review Analysis) Dr. Aaron Lerner cites this MEMRI report in which Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon Abbas Zaki is cited; If Israel leaves Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria it will collapse. The full direct quote from Zaki states:

“With the two-state solution, in my opinion, Israel will collapse, because if they get out of Jerusalem, what will become of all the talk about the Promised Land and the Chosen People? What will become of all the sacrifices they made – just to be told to leave? They consider Jerusalem to have a spiritual status. The Jews consider Judea and Samaria to be their historic dream. If the Jews leave those places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse. It will regress of its own accord. Then we will move forward.” read more

Commentary;

On Tuesday, this blog posted a piece about Ashkenaz Chief Rabbi Metzger’s announcement which indicated that the ‘Pope Agreed Vatican to Stop Missionizing Jews.’

And this blog posed the question;

If the Pope walked out of the festivities at Notre Dame Pontifical Institute in Jerusalem after Chief Islamic Judge of the Palestinian Authority, Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi’s unscheduled, unsolicited verbal attack upon Israel, just why did Army Radio report that the Pope shook Tamimi’s hand on the way out? read more

Commentary:

This blog will not comment beyond this link to Pope Benedict XVI’s alleged past membership in Hitler Youth despite denials of same by a Vatican spokesman and assertions of reluctance to join by another spokesman.

But Israel’s Ashkenaz Chief Rabbi Metzger’s making a spectacle of himself with his headline announcement that the ‘Pope agreed that the Vatican would stop missionizing Jews’ is as phony an agreement as the document signed by freed, swapped terrorists that they would never again involve themselves in terrorism. And we know how quickly those signed documents of freed terrorists are discarded and how quickly many or most freed Islamic terrorists return to their terrorist deeds blowing up, injuring, maiming and killing more Jews. read more

Commentary:

The State Commission of Inquiry formed to probe the treatment of “evacuees” has begun hearing testimony. This blog has referred and will continue to refer to the former Gush Katif residents by the more accurate terms, the expelled, the evicted, the former Gush Katif residents, rather than the regime politically correct term of “evacuees from the disengagement” because what happened in Gush Katif in August, 2005 was NOT a disengagement and the former residents were NOT “evacuated”, i.e. “evacuated from danger.” The people of Gush Katif had made homes, communities, had built businesses, society, communal and religious life there and had made a disaster area BLOOM. read more
