Parshiyot Tazria/Metzora5767: Ta’amei and Tahara in National Terms

by Moshe Burt

In learning about the laws of tzara’as, we find posukim which are a pelah, a wonderment.

Torah relates in our Parsha; “If the tzara’as will erupt on the skin, and … will cover the entire skin of the afflicted from his head to his feet, wherever the eyes of the Kohen can see — the Kohen shall look, and behold! — the affliction has covered his entire flesh, then he shall declare the affliction to be pure; having turned completely white, it is pure. On the day healthy skin appears …, it (the affliction) shall be contaminated.” (Sefer Vayikra, Perek 13, posukim 12 – 14) read more

Right of Return; Strategic Tool in Arab Attempts to Destroy israel — PA Lacks Ability, Capability and Will to Absorb the Numbers

Commentary;
Here is an article which summarizes 2 articles written by a Saudi columnist which say right out that ‘right of return’ is an impossible concept which “cannot be implemented.” These are points which we hld as axiomatic and self-evident, but this is the first recollection of a Saudi Arab writing them.

The columnist does speak about the impact of ‘return’ upon Israel, but contrasts the Arab governments and Arab legue treatment of the refugees they themselves created with Israel’s absorption “of the thousands of Jewish refugees who had lost their property, homes and businesses in the Arab countries.” One “talk-back” to the JPost artcle summed it up best; “I pray the writer lives to write more on the subject, and his articles are reprinted in Arab media.” read more

Israel’s Media Lackeys: Indoctrination, Brainwashing Without Big Brother

Another Tack: Hindsight Wisdom, by Sarah Honig (Jerusalem Post)

“Without all-seeing Big Brother, his ministry of truth and totalitarian indoctrination, our unofficial media cliques (whose very existence is most hotly denied by their own principal movers and shakers, and whose members are invariably of one inclination) engage in subtler forms of brainwashing.”

“Shavit is… absolutely right to write that Israel had no premier as abysmal as Olmert, that “in its entire history no undeserving leader ever endangered the State of Israel as much as Olmert endangers it.” Shavit is likewise right to pin blame on the omnipotent clique of media lackeys.” read more

Headline Lead-In on Shalom House Reveals to Readers: Agendized, Biased Slant of JPost or its Writers

Exclusive: Hebron Settlers Are Trying to Buy More Homes, By Yaakov Katz and Tovah Lazaroff (Jerusalem Post)

Defense officials tell ‘Post’ they are powerless to stop right-wing US Jews funding expansion of Jewish community in the West Bank town.

Commentary;

Check out the article’s lead-in (above) directly below the JPost headline and link. Yet nowhere in the article is there a reference to West Bank. However, the intent is a sneaky-slick and cynical effort on JPost’s or their writer’s part to instill the agenda, the bias in the reader’s consciousness prior to his clicking and reading the article itself.
