Israel: A Modern Miracle

MAP_Israel-todayPolitico came out with a statement that the US might no longer be a shield for Israel against international pressure here. I got news for  Obama, the Amerian Pravda- Politico, and all the Lefists who are salivating for the demise of Israel. There is only one shield for Israel- G-d. Some people are non- believers.  Some people  believe in One World government (like the Nazi George Soros), but  the country of Israel is populated by people who still believe in miracles.

How can they not be when they have been harangued  by  international hate pundits daily and the country still thrives.  Its southern border was bombarded by thousand s of Hamas rockets and it still thrives. Not to mention, of course, the hundreds of miles of terror tunnels dug  for the sole purpose of murdering  Israelis. The Iron Dome?  That in itself is  a miracle.because it repositioned all those missles and rockets set to destroy Jewish lives even when its operators were afraid it wasn’t working. As a matter of fact  that was proclaimed in headlines here and here and of course all of us know the miraculous  winning of every war the Arabs start with the tiny Jewish state

Unknown to many of our “intellectuals and elites” an Arab is the head of the Israel Election Committee. Not only that, but 74% of a Bedouin tribe voted for Bibi. Even Obama sending a platoon of henchmen to sabatoge the election couldn’t sway Israeli voters. Considering  that Israel is called an apartheid state, smeared and slandered daily, those uncomfortable facts make Netanyahu’s victory  miraculous. It is even more miraculous that  the tiny Jewish state, surrounded by enemies who want it wiped off the face of the earth, is not only surviving but thriving.

Torah tells of the story of the spies who were sent into the Land of Canaan.  The Hebrews were punished to wander in the desert for 40 years for  the sin of not believing that G-d’s miracles would lead them to victory over an overwhelming army. The communist Left has shackled countries and generations to the idea that there is no G-d but government. The pundits and politicians decrying the historical Netanyahu win and spreading fear of  US abandonment are of this ilk. To them the G-d of Israel is only a story that young children and unenlightened boors believe in.

I’m one of those boors who believe this Netanyahu victory is miraculous. We know our State Department spent  more than $300,000 of taxpayer money to sabatoge the election and is now plotting other ways to control its “ally.” We are often told that American will always be steadfast in her alliance to Israel. That’s not really true. What many don’t know was that Eddie Jacobson, a Jew, was Harry Truman’s best friend and business partner.  It was that relationship that sealed the United States vote for Israel independence. Isn’t that a miracle?

The modern country of Israel is only 67 years old and has accomplished more than many which are hundreds of years old. Its medical breakthroughs and technology  are among the most advanced in the world.  Netanyahu’s win wasn’t the only miracle.  The  whole counry is.

Is It Too Late Again?

Years ago , in 1987 to be exact, I  made a huge mistake.  I believed my alcoholic former husband would have rachmunos , or what Christians call  mercy, in our divorce. I actually believed his declarations of undying love. Since I was the mother of his children and (fictionalized here). I naively thought he understood that his behavior was detrimental to our family and so I mistakenly conceded all for “peace.” Foolishly, I didn’t even ask for alimony. Unfortunately, I did not recognize that he had declared war until it was too late. That was my personal “Never again!” moment.I Hate Jews

When are American Jews going to have theirs?  The signs of mounting anti- Semitism, anti- Zionism, or just plain Jew hatred are everywhere. For instance, the PLO terror trial that granted more than 250  billion dollars ( more than 600 according to the Terrorism Law) to the families of  terror victims didn’t even break a 24 hour news cycle. This historical decision should have made newspaper headlines, breaking news, and every talking head announcement. Instead, there wasn’t even a blip. Perhaps it was because the PLO and PLA were found guilty of inciting and paying terrorists to murder and mutilate innocent Jewish civilians. Now Mahmoud Abbas and his henchmen can’t be called moderates The families of murdered loved ones were finally heard and documentation of “Palestinian” leaders showed incontrovertible evidence that they were accountable for jihadi mayhem. Unfortunately, for our Islamophilo administration and its media hacks that evidence belies the myth of a peaceful“ two state solution.”

In the case of the Arab Bank, which was sued for funding terrorism, our State Department sided with the Bank, against the survivors and families of the victims of terror! Once again, a historical case was propelled to page 15 or a minor headline on the internet. Due to the hard work and vision of Shurat Ha Din Law Center and the legal work of Motley Rice, this was the first time victims of terrorism successfully brought charges against a financial institute that knowingly supported terror. Although the Arab Bank is appealing, this landmark decision is a warning to other banks that if they fund terrorism that they will be held liable according to US Terrorism law.

How about all the “pro Israel” organizations that fund Israel’s demise? Not just JStreet and Peace Now, but the UJA which supports the New Israel Fund. The NIF is a far left organization who works for “progressive change in Israel.” Just like the progressives transformed America into a country that is no longer a republic, but on the cusp of being a totalitarian dictatorship, they want to transform the  tiny  Jewish nation into its death throe.  One of the tactics these faux pro-Israel organizations support is the toxic BDS movement. Unfortunately, many college students are faced with discovering that anti- Zionism is just a cover for Jew hatred. ( here).

We have Democrats who refused to attend the Netanyahu speech.  Muslim Brotherhood members and Islamo sycophants like John Brennen, Valerie  Jarrett, Huma Abedin, and Mohammed Eliabiary work in crucial  government agencies, and the “ paper of record” the New York Times has to make corrections about  its scandalous Israel reporting almost daily.  We’re cautioned by our “elites” that Islamophobia is  something  real and causes violence against the Muslim community.  The problem with this is that it’s a big lie. As of 2012, according to the FBI there were 5 times as many crimes against Jews than Muslims.  Our president, Barack Hussein Obama, ignores terrorism against Jews by declaring  it random and once again Jews go back to sleep. Why not?  Our esteemed government decided that there is  no anti- Semitism on California campuses and the ADL assisted their argument.here

We forget there was a time in this country when we weren’t welcome.  We forget that hotels and restaurants had signs that said no Jews or dogs allowed. We forget that our ancestors were told they could be Jewish but not too Jewish, and that Henry Ford was a huge anti- Semite. Unfortunately, we’re being reminded and too many Jews are still asleep. It’s time to wake up before it’s too late-no Jews again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purple Penguins From Red Rubbish

its-differentJewish children are taught that the first job G-d gave Adam was to name all the animals. From that story we glean that words are important. And that they have meaning. We are taught that at the time of the moshiach (messiah) the lion will lie down with the lamb. If media started crowing nonstop that lambs and lions are cuddling togerher in a pen at the DC zoo, one would have to call them liars. Reality would refute that. Peace hasn’t found a home in this world and it would be sheer foolishness or even dangerous to believe their nonsense.So why do we accept the language the Red Rubbish( formerly known as Progressives) chooses to win their political battles?

In the book the The Rebbe by Joseph Telushkin, the biographer cites certain virtues and behaviors the Rebbe espoused as crucial. One of them was the importance of using words correctly and positively. According to the author, Rabbi Schneerson even suggested that Israeli hospitals change their name from bet cholim, House of the Sick to a more positive name; House of Healing (bet Refuachim) which described its purpose better and would give people more hope.

The people of the United States have been confronted with a lexicon promoted by the Left and its minions that redefine words so that they no longer have meaning. Now bastardizing a language isn’t enough, they want to rewire children for a political agenda that will, at best, confuse them and at worst harm them. The handout teachers got in Omaha promoted using “non-sexist” language like calling boys and girls purple penguins and allowing each student to choose the pronoun he or she prefers in addressing oneself. Got that?

I have worked with children as a teacher or counselor for more than 35 years. In that time I have met NO children confused about their identity. The handout comes from GenderSpectrum,which can be found
here Note the name. Gender does not exist on a spectrum, just like marriage isn’t between a couple of the same sex. That doesn’t mean they can’t live together or have a civil union. Historically, marriage is a bond between a man and a woman in order to procreate and raise a family.

According to the thesurus, diversity means variance or dissmilarity. Instead of respecting the differnces among us, whether it’s cultures or individuals; our government, Lefty NGOs and assorted political groups demand that we pretend we’re all the same, when just looking at the differnces in members of any family refutes that ridiculous notion.

The word apartheid comes from the Afrikanner language of South Africa. It was a rigorous system of separating the races. Israel is called an ” apartheid” nation when it is as inclusive as the USA or more so. There are Muslim Arabs, Christians, Druze, and all shades of complexions in the IDF, government, and in every neighborhood. Signs and paperwork are printed in Hebrew and Arabic. Zionism is not racism, but an answer to the almost universal anti- Semitism of Europe and the Islamic world.

We are told by our president, Barack Hussein Obama, that the Islamic State of the Levant or ISIL is not Islamic. Well, if it’s in the title of that dangerous and murderous organization then that’s what it is. And when we’re told to believe that beheading “infidels”, slaughtering Christians, and taking young Christian girls as sex slaves is not the real “religion of peace” maybe those female sex slaves were really purple penguins as defined by the Red Rubbish. “Khrushchev USA 1959
