Vilna’i: All Israel in Range of Hamas, Hezbollah Rockets

.
Commentary:

Boker Tov Am Yisrael! As if Vilna’i’s warning should come as any great shock to anyone with eyes, ears or a functioning brain in their head. But it just boggles the mind how the typical Yosef Q. Israeli doesn’t have his back up at the mal-feasance and non-feasance of successive governments, including Netanyahu, who have sat back, equivocating, voting to make parts of Jewish land Yudenrein and letting this state of affairs come to be. Frankly, this Jew is more than a litle tired of excuses, expressions like “ein ma’alasot”
(nothing can be done), or “I’m too tired to fight, too tired to win.” read more

Parsha Vayikra 5769: The Motivations Separating True Leaders From Frauds

.

By Moshe Burt

The first word of our parsha; Vayikra begs discussion of why the small “aleph” in Vayikra, and tells much about Moshe Rabbeinu’s level of principle, integrity and his standard of leadership of B’nei Yisrael.

We are told how Hashem, Kav’yochal, would call gently, affectionately
“Moshe, Moshe” in a voice for Moshe Rabbeinu’s ears only and Moshe would respond “Here I am.” (Rashi on Perek 1, posuk 1 Metsuda Linear Chumash & Rashi with footnotes) read more

Moshe Feiglin: Getting a lot of Ink for a “Minor Player” in Likud

.

Commentary;

Caroline Glick is right in bemoaning Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu’s pre-occupation with in the media for bringing Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit down rather than distinguishing the differences between a Likud slate top-heavy with principled, common sense candidates for Knesset and the too tired to fight, too tired to win destructo “delusional and defeatist Kadima and Labor parties.”

However, the amount of ink spilled in Glick’s attempt to portray Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit as “minor players” actually betrays the extent of Feiglin’s true strength in the party and his arrival in “the Big Leagues.” He received some 12,000 votes out of 50,000, the candidates he endorsed won 7 of the top 12 slots and 10 of the first 20 slots and 7 out of the 2nd 20 slots on the Likud list and his co-founder of Manhigut Yehudit Shmuel Sackett didn’t make a regional candidate slot despite receiving 10,000 votes in his region. read more

Olmert Parody on Barak: “I Will Do Everything…” [To Hold Power?]

.
Commentary;

Defense Minister Ehud Barak keeps saying things like “I will do everything to bring him [Gilad Shalit] back” or “Israel would do everything in its power to see the safe return of captured Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit.” It is highly questionable what the limits of that “everything” are. For instance, does everything include liberation by military means?

Meanwhile, we have watched Barak’s coalition partner prime minister Ehud Olmert complete his 2 year charade concerning deceased IDF soldiers Regev and Goldwasser which, as Evelyn Gordon seems to indicate in her commentary below; read more

Parsha Shelach 5768: Shelach Turned Upside Down

.
By Moshe Burt

Observing the political governmental scene in Israel today, this author’s memories harken back to the mid-1980s in Philadelphia, in the years just prior to becoming Ba’al Teshuva.

The conservative synagogue attended for Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur had a practice of bringing in a young JTS guest Rabbi to help and assist the synagogue’s long-time Rabbi who was getting on in years. This particular Yomim Tovim, they brought in a young fellow who proceeded to pitch the philosophies of Breira, one of the leftist-agendized predecessors of Shalom Achshav. read more

Olmert’s Ongoing Flip-Flop on Demographics

.

Commentary;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has often claimed in recent years, citing and cleaving to P.A. (sic) demographics data, that Israel must hand over lands to the Arabs out of fear that the Arabs will essentially destroy Israel by out-numbering the Jews. These claims have again and again been been found irrefutably overstated by at least 1.5 million by evidence presented by demographics experts Bennett Zimmerman, Roberta Seid, Michael Weiss and Yoram Ettinger.

But, in doing a search of YouTube videos looking for different information, this author stumbled upon this Nightline interview which took place over 20 years ago with both then MK Ehud Olmert and Rabbi Meir Kahane, z’l. In that interview, Ehud Olmert attempts to refute Rabbi Kahane by saying that the chances of the Arabs outnumbering the Jews is remote. read more

Olmert’s Words on Holocaust, Actions in Direct Contradiction

.

Commentary;

The righteous-appearing comments of prime minister Olmert on the Holocaust are nothing more than shallow, self-serving rhetoric. Olmert reveals with these words not the least comprehension of the implications and true meanings of words he mutters, were these words to have been spoken by a true leader of the Jewish people.

But Israel’s Spirit with which “no power… can contend” seemingly appears, in Olmert’s view of actuality “too tired to fight, too tired to win… “ These very words will be repeated again, and again, and again to bear witness against Ehud Olmert and his ilk as long as he and they remain they government in power; as long as Olmert remains in politics. read more

Clinton on Iran Attack of Israel; NOT Words of Ally

.

Commentary;

During the heated campaign between Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama for the Democratic candidacy for US President, Clinton has made a number of statements specifically directed toward the Jewish vote, particularly during the run-up to Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary. This author takes great issue with one of these statements in particular.

Before the masses of American Jews take Hillary Clinton’s recent statement; If Iran attacks Israel, the US could ‘totally obliterate them’ as a great achievement and an expression of unshakable alliance with Israel, this author feels compelled to harken back to the great American actor/comedian Jimmy Durante, who during his act, would grab his hat, shake that monstrous nose and bellow; read more

Thursday War News: Islamics Void “Ceasefire”, 15 Kassams Pound Sderot, Negev, Israel Hits Launch-Ready Rocket; Bethlehem Islamic Jihad Chief, 3 Other Terrorists Offed in Bethlehem; 12 Terrorists, 72 Illegals Nabbed, Buses Hit by Rock Throwers in North

.
Commentary;

As predicted on this blog; the current “ceasefire”, “hudna” inevitably lasted all of 3 days. A normal, non-disfunctional government would wise up to it’s enemy’s strategies and rouges after twice or three times being deceived.

However, Israel’s successive secular, anti-Torah regimes of too tired, “New Jews” can’t make a cogent argument for it’s own existence in any language and therefore percieves that it must accept the morality thrust upon it by the nations which says in essence that, between the lines, Jewish lives are cheap and expendable.
