The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
.
Parsha Toldos opens by informing us “And Yitzchak was 40 years old when he took Rivka, the daughter of Besuel, the Aramite, from Padad Aram, the sister of Lavan, the Aramite, for himself for a wife. (Parsha Toldos, Breish’t Perek 25, posuk 20) Rabbi Zelig Pliskin, in his Sefer, “Growth Through Torah” writes that although Rivka was both the daughter of and sister of wicked people, “nevertheless, she did not learn from their evil behavior.” She did not emulate their evil.

Commentary;
It seems that the duplicitous Mahmoud Abbas has more in mind than the recent exposed plot against prime minister Olmert. Other senior Israeli leaders and officials find themselves between cross-hairs, targeted by Islamic assassins as Olmert’s waltz with snakes and scorpions continues. MB

Commentary;
A leopard cannot change it’s spots. That Israel’s leftist, anti-Torah regime continues to meet with, recognize, fund, arm and pardon terrorists while offering up dangerous “concessions” puts the Jewish people in dire peril and is ever foolhardy and treasonable.

Another Tack: Dancing With Scorpions, by Sarah Honig (Jerusalem Post)
Full Text;
To stay alive, both in real, physical terms as well as politically, Mahmoud Abbas, the reputed leader of the so-called Palestinian people (or at least the segment thereof which resides in the fiefdom ruled for the time being from Ramallah), crucially needs Ehud Olmert. Without Olmert’s indulgence, Abbas is a goner.
.
Commentary;
This author could have dealt with Sarah Honig’s scorpion analogy regarding the PA attempt to assassinate Olmert as one with this piece by Evelyn Gordon. Both pieces reflect specifics, pretenses why NOT to deal with Abbas, why Not to do “Land for Peace(sic).”
Years ago, a friend often used the analogy of doing things for the wrong reasons.
These pretenses are subordinate to the fundamental principle — that Eretz Yisrael; Kol ha’aretz shelanu — The Land of Israel is Jewish land and Jerusalem is the seed, the root of the Jewish people by Divine Legacy.

Eleven days ago, this blog posted a piece; Painless, No Cost Ways to Fight the Regime’s Planned Give-Away of Jerusalem, Har HaBayit. Prominent on this post was a call for support of Shurat HaDin’s struggle against the Islamic crimes of desecration being committed on the Temple Mount.
Today, Dr. Aaron Lerner’s IMRA site reports that 150 Israeli citizens have taken up the call, signed up and enabled Nitsana Darshan-Leitner and Shurat HaDin to initiate this litigation.
