The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
.
This author takes serious issue with a mindset indicated in David Bedein’s report who’s leader poses this question; Is Feiglin a White Ashkenazi Sabra with Protexia?
Please note; this author recognizes and respects David Bedein’s moral integrity as one of perhaps two, possibly three credible journalists in ALL of Israel’s media (and a former Philadelphian, too). The issue is NOT with Bedein’s piece, but with a mindset in the S’fardi sector which gives rise to what Bedein detects.

This is a difficult post to write. Tuesday’s primary vote was accompanied by expectations that a faith-based candidate would finally win out and lead Likud, or that the vote count would reach to the mid-30s %. This author is digesting the results of the primary, with great digestive difficulty.
But, it seems apparent that the typical Likud member, emblematic of the typical Israeli, still lacks the equipment, the erudition to see beyond the brain-washing, the dumbing-down, political-orientation and is incapable of stepping outside of his current lifestyle, stepping outside of his insatiable lust for convenience and privilege to battle for change from rot, corruption and protexia. Major, radical surgery is required on Israel’s leftist bureaucratic institutions, educational systems and governance which is out of control, anti-Jewish, anti-Torah. Jews must once again care for each other and unify for the collective security and good of the nation.

This author sat pondering the title for this Parsha HaShevua and cannot come up with a more appropo title that the one used in previous years.
The third posuk of our Parsha reads; “Tzedek, Tzedek tierdof…” Righteousness, righteousness (also rendered Justice, Justice) you shall pursue that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord, your G’d gives you.” (Sefer Devarim, Perek 16, posuk 20)
This posuk follows immediately after the opening of our Parsha;

This primary day, like any other election day in Israel, has had it’s misrepresentations, false charges and deceit — nearly all of it coming from the Netanyahu camp and from the leftist media which eats all up.
Netanyahu Supporters: Kadima Supports Feiglin
Netanyahu Aides Say Kadima Officials Backing Feiglin Likud Bid
Imagine the hypocrisy of the above charges at the very moment that the Netanyahu campaign headquarters in Jerusalem occupies the 2nd floor of a building which has a Jews for Jesus center in its lobby. That’s a real great message to give voters?

Israel’s political leaders seem not to have learned very much since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Newly crowned defense minister Ehud Barak refuses protection for the homefront in light of the serious Syrian threat, just as Israel didn’t mobilize and call up it’s military reserves upon prior warnings of impending war — lest it be seen as provocative, aggressive presumably by American satellite intelligence of the time.
The Jerusalem Posts’ report on Barak’s avoidance of distributing gas masks states;

The callous insensitivity of Ehud Olmert for the Jews of Israel is outrageous and becoming apparent, even outside Israel. The article below is by no means a one-time aberration. For a few examples in the long litany of such instances, click here, here, here, here and more recently; here and here. MB
