Dearest Readers,
We are safe. We are doing as well as can be expected in this place at this time. There are absolutely no words. No way to describe the flood of emotions that I go through on a minute by minute basis. Social media is flooded with news, much of it inflammatory or false. The news is filled with misinformation. So who to believe? Who to trust? There are some people from whom I’m getting firsthand, reliable information. And that is reassuring.
John and I have been receiving a flood of emails, calls and messages from people around the world: all of you are rightfully concerned. There are people who have known us and been friends with us very intimately for many years. And those who we have not heard from for decades. All want information. All have the best intentions. Many have varying opinions on Israel, on geopolitics, on religious views, even mental and physical health tips. I know you are all hungry to know. “Do we have guns? How are we surviving? Do we even care about those we have left behind in the US? What are we doing here? Why are we here? We need to escape while we can. Is Israel treating the Gazans according to UN humanitarian standards? We must turn the other cheek and love our enemies as the Bible says. Israel must eradicate the terrorists completely, no mercy. Can you help me find a missing loved one? This was part of a greater global conspiracy. The photographs been shown and news being revealed are fake and propaganda to divert from what is truly happening in the world. Palestine must be liberated from the evil oppressors.” So many comments. So many ‘analysts’ and opinions. “Will there be an escalation that could grow into a global war? Are we in ’end times?’ Is this Bible prophecy?”
It’s difficult at times for me to process my own emotions. I’m holding space for so many people, and praying constantly. I am trying to decipher the true from the untrue myself. On one hand I want to report all the truth as I see it first hand because I live here. On the other hand, I want to spend my time helping where needed. And there are times when I just need to veg and do nothing. A movie and chill. A good book. My mind races. I can defend Israel and her actions, but will it really mean anything in the long run to those who see Israel as the aggressor and the people of Gaza or Judaea and Samaria as complete victims? Even though I freelance as an independent journalist, my contacts, especially with higher-ups in military, in government and in charities are virtually nonexistent.
I do appreciate those who have actually shown concern by acts of love towards my children who are separated from us by continents. I thank you for asking for places most needed to contribute financially. We cherish your prayers over us. We speak with our son in the IDF reserves at least once a day. He is truly the best, and is thinking of us and our peace of mind as well as his duties at hand. He is calm and rational. And that helps my heart and my mind. We speak with our daughters regularly to reassure their worried souls.
We are safe. We are strong. We have all made mistakes as a people and a nation. We will learn from them and go forward. We are hopeful people. We are People of the Book. This week’s portion is Noah. Amidst all the violence of the world, it’s time for me to get in my own personal little Ark, so to speak. To close the door. I will no longer be posting on Instagram. Some of the questions and responses from my postings, no matter how light-hearted I’ve tried to be, have not been good for my spirit. This will be my last blogpost for a while. I have not meant to hurt anyone in anything I have written. I cannot process the comments, many of which I have not approved, at this time. It’s a time for me to be with my husband and to appreciate the peaceful days we have here. It’s a special time for me to be with my family and the beautiful gift of new life we’ve been blessed with over the past month.
When this is over, or after I have had the time to take for myself to meditate, to heal (we have been affected in many ways by the events of the past week, much I have not burdened you with), to reflect, process and pray…. then I will return. Thank you for your readership. Please bear with me during this hiatus. Much love. Much faith. Much peace. Shalom. שלום!!!
עם ישראל חי! חזק ואומץ

The Arrogant ignorance of Goyim, specifically on the mitzva of Moshiach. Just brain-dead stupid, the utterly absurd notion that the noise new testament holds a locked monopoly teaching on the Mitzva of Moshiach, as defined by the opening Mishna of the 11th Chapter of Sanhedrin, together with its Gemara, which otherwise teaches:
The Mitzva of Moshiach expressed through the baali t’shuva, as a time oriented commandment based upon Moshe traveling to Egypt to take Israel out of Egyptian slavery.
Baali t’shuva does not translate to “repent” nor “repentance”, nor “forgiveness”. Baali t’shuva learns from David’s sling, which killed the giant Goliath, and turned military defeat into total victory. Time oriented tohor commandments: they mean … During a time or period of National Crisis or even personal Crisis … that a person rises up and gives heart and motivation to a nation or even a sole individual who sits crushed under the oppressive weight of defeat and surrender. To rise up and crush the heads of the enemy and show no mercy to the unjust criminal oppressor.
The story of the deliverance of Israel from Egyptian slavery, the Pesach story, defines this time oriented commandment of the baali t’shuva-Moshiach – as expressed in all times and generations. Jews do not wait for the coming of the Moshiach. Bunk on the 2nd coming of JeZeus avoda zarah. Jews strive to arouse the Spirit of HaShem within our brit hearts to do t’shuva. Herein defines this specific time oriented tohor commandment known as: the Baali-t’shuva Moshiach, from the Torah.
Moshe, a baali t’shuva, argued with HaShem that HaShem send someone else! The vile ignorance of arrogance: Goyim who assume that their noise new-testament defines the mitzva of Moshiach. Xtian theology knows nothing. It cannot discern Torah משנה תורה\Common Law from Roman Statute Law. The Xtian church (these Av tuma war criminals) attempt to כאילו\equivocate their new-testament abomination as “ONE” with the T’NaCH. The Muslims totally replace the T’NaCH with their koran avoda zarah.
Something like the censor pans of the 250 rebels who כאילו joined themselves together with Korach’s revolt against Moshe; the brass of those incense censers beaten onto, and attached to the sides of the brass altar designated to sacrifice offerings. In effect, the equivocation of these censers, now one with the altar itself.
Which, their-after church Av-tuma avoda zarah replacement theology, then attempts to this day, to replace the T’NaCH with their “blood libel” tuma-slander “OLD” testament narishkeit. Like church-stinker theology apologetics attempts to replaced “SIN” for “avoda zarah” – the 2nd Sinai commandment. And also like the koran/Muhammad attempted to negate the 2nd Sinai commandment with the equally vile Av tuma avoda zarah known as: Monotheism. Monotheism directly violates the 2nd Sinai commandment, because if only one God, then the 2nd Sinai commandment – totally in vain.
War with Goyim requires that Jews shatter the ethical containment force “the religious moral soul which binds Goyim together as a people/nation”. The European Shoah of dhimmi Jews refugee exiles for 2000+ years has its consequences. Now the shoe, worn on the other foot. Xtianity and Islam disgraced and experience the shame of exile. Israel crushes the dhimmi Arab Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and PA refugee populations within the borders of Israel. And too has shattered offensive attacks of both Hizbollah, and Shi’ite enemy Muslim nations.
The criminal perversion of faith committed by the noise new testament Roman forgery and the equally vile Arab Koran. Above every 7th word “prophet” in that tuma book of avoda zarah. Yet wonder of wonders: Muhammad failed to learn how the T’NaCH defines the term “prophet”, just like the criminal church failed to learn, from the T’NaCH, the term “faith”. The former term defined as a formal mussar commandment. Whereas the latter term defined as: the pursuit of judicial Sanhedrin lateral courtroom imposed justice; whereby the courts restore fair compensation of damages Jews inflict upon other Jews.
Both prophets and faith share absolutely nothing with Goyim. Why? All Goyim civilizations, to this very moment in time, have rejected the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. The noise new testament Roman forgery together with the false prophet Muhammad both worship the avoda zarah of the Golden Calf. Both tuma this and tuma that translate the Name revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment – the Spirit Name which no human lips can pronounce – with words. Like as did Aaron when he translated the Spirit Name, blown by the living brit soul, unto the word אלהים, which the lips of Man can pronounce like any other common Word.

The location of our בנין אב\precedent found in other Gemaras, to this point, no בנין אב — ever located at the conclusion of the sugia/sub-chapter as this Case located within בבא בתרא. Am interested to see how you “connect the dots” to form your sh’itta straight line interpretation whereby you employ it to make the critical משנה תורה/{common law} reinterpretation of the language of the Mishna. Remember your failure to observe the language of the Mishna in מנחות parallel vessels of the Mishkan contrasted by perpendicular position of the Ark of the covenant vis-a-vis to the other vessels of the Mishkan? Interpreting, based upon a sh’itta (A logical methodology. Logic based upon Order) of a Gemara sugya(sug-chapter) בנין אב(precedent), means making a משנה תורה\{common law} interpretive learning of the Mishna common law legal system.
Statute law has no such learning discipline, which requires interpreting a halachic ruling learned in context by contrasting that halachic opinion to fit it within the language of a far greater Mishnaic authority. For this reason alone statute law halacha, as in, for example, the codification of the Shulchan Aruch — just flat out wrong. No exceptions to this rule. Rav Nemuraskii, my Rav, did not take, the above opinion, to this extreme. Statute law halacha – exceptionally easy to learn. Rav Nemuraskii instructed baali t’shuva students who had no Torah background whatsoever at all. But you and I, we both have learned the Sha’s Bavli, do not qualify as snotty nose assimilated kids, who never learned Talmud in their entire lives.
But Rav Nemuraskii did encourage me, when I first came to him as a University educated left wing Socialist, to study these statute law codes … with a stern warning! To learn these statute halachic codes within the context of its sugya of Gemara, and then use that knowledge of that Gemara sugya to relearn the language of the Mishna of that Gemarah. [[The Universal chief flaw of the Rambam statute halachic code, his failure to bring Gemara sources for all his halachic rulings. The Tur and Shulkan Aruch duplicated this Universal error. Statute halachic codes כאילו equate Gemara halacha as equal to and on par with Mishnaic sources. This logical error which attempts to “equivocate”(כאילו) the authority of the Gemara equal to that of the Mishna, alas a very common logical falacy.]]
This latter learning step, all the Reshonim commentaries ever written on the Talmud failed to learn the Gemara as a precedent to re-interpret the k’vanna of the language of its Mishna. But no commentary can replace the Primary source which the commentary explains. The Gemara has a commentary relationship to the Mishna. The scholarship of the Reshonim fundamentally erred in their failure to discern between Primary and Secondary sources of scholarship. The same error likewise ocurred in how the Reshonim (950CE to 1400CE) learned the T’NaCH, which tended to restrict scholarship to a טיפש פשט rather than learn the T’NaCH as mussar משנה תורה {Common mussar Law}.
The fundamental distinction which fundamentally separates Aggadita from Halacha in the Talmud: the former addresses mussar common law precedents whereas the latter compares Halachic precedents to similar {parallel} Halachic precedents.
Rav Nemuraskii opposed learning the Mishna based solely upon the טיפש פשט\Bird-brained, simple reading of the language of the Mishna. He drilled this contempt for טיפש פשט learning into my consciousness! The sh’itta Geh-Geh (a family member) learns, he became a Rav based upon the Shulchan Aruch. The way he perceives the Talmud, compares to the way that Xtians view the “Old Testament”!
Xtian replacement theology has subsumed the T’NaCH. Making the T’NaCH as a secondary source vis a vis their new testament forgery, a document on par with, in my estimation, to the Czarist secret police, late 19th Century forgery known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. My contention, that the Gospels exists as — a Roman forgery. The statute halachic codes: the Yad Chazaka, Tur, & Shulkan Aruch they have effectively replaced Talmudic common law scholarship, just as the noise new testament has replaced, in order of priority and importance, their Old Testament.
JeZeus did not know how to make the required הבדלה {distinction} that separates and distinguishes איסר מלאכה מן איסר עבודה {skilled labor from unskilled labor}. JeZeus never kept the זמן גרמא מצוה שבת. This type of Torah commandment stands upon the יסוד יראת שמים\{foundation of mastery of a Good Name}.
JeZeus did not know that the Torah defines אמונה\{faith} as צדק צדק תרדוף\{the pursuit of justice}. [[That common law judicial sanhedrin courtrooms which serve to fairly make restitution of damages inflicted by a Jew upon another Jew defines the Torah concept of justice.]] Muhammad too/likewise did not know how the Hebrew T’NaCH defines faith. Both this and that avoda zarah therefore focused upon faith as a personal belief system in this or that God. The Torah defines the prioritization of a personal belief in Gods, as the Av tuma avoda zarah which shatters the Torah revelation, learned when Moshe shattered the two tablets at Sinai. Herein defines the k’vaana/{intent} of the revelation of the 2nd Sinai commandment.

The model of the post war peace established between the US & Japan shall serve as the model whereby Israel shall establish the government of Gaza.
Just as the US forced a 14 million population transfer of German populations in the Czech Republic and Poland, Israel shall likewise impose a forced population transfer of Arab refugee populations currently residing in E. Jerusalem and all of Samaria to Gaza.

Israelis who criticize the scholarship failures made by the Reshonim (950 -1400 CE).
The study by means of בנין אב/precedents, it opens a person’s eyes how the different mesechtot of Gemara interweave together; how the Mishna of one mesechta intermeshes with the language of other Mishnaot.
This makes the study of the Talmud as the Primary, and the study of the Reshonim rabbinic commentaries – secondary. Rabbinic Judaism errs because it reverses the Primary/secondary relationship, just as these rabbis fail to understand how the Gemara makes a משנה תורה\re-interpretation of the k’vanna of the language of its Mishna. The boot licking brown-nose P”sycophant” behavior & scholarship practiced by Auchronim Talmudic “scholars” toward the Reshonim, whom the former worships the opinions of the latter, like gods placed upon a pedestal.Their disgraceful טיפש פשט(bird brained) of ירידות הדורות qualifies as a National Jewish scandal.
Perhaps the best example of this Psycophat behavior: the RABaD’s statute law criticism of the Rambam’s statute halachic perversion. His “criticism”, it compares to counterfeit money printed illegally, then laundered by other criminals; something like criminals bringing stolen goods to a pawn-shop. The impact of his “criticism” had a direct impact upon Rosh ben Asher, author of the Tur statute halachic perversion of the Talmud.
Another example of the distortion of learning the Torah & Talmud into box-thinking assimilated statute codifications, the impact that the Rambam’s Sefer-Ha’Mitzvot made upon the scholarship of the French Baali-Tosafot, S’mag, and later upon the sefer ha-Chinuch.These latter Reshonim altogether abandoned Rabbi Akiva’s chiddush (unique teachings) which defines Torah sh’baal peh (Oral Torah) as פרדס. The sefer baal ha’turim ha’shalem (a commentary made upon the Chumash) his grasp of רמז (hint) totally distorted.
The Baal Ha’Turim limited this key concept of פרדס kabbalah only to the numerical value of words. It ignores the רמז concept of pregnant words: words which contain other words. The ignorance of ben Asher, his failure to bind רמז together with פשט to interpret Aggadah, its משנה תורה on prophetic mussar from NaCH sources – an utter disgrace to the Jewish people.
These errors by key Reshonim “influencers”, the destruction to משנה תורה Oral Torah scholarship, far surpasses the error made by the false messiahs of Sabbatai Zevi, and Yaacov Frank. The errors made by the latter directly influenced the rise of Reform Judaism after Napoleon up-rooted the Catholic church war-crimes as established by the 3 Century Ghetto illegal imprisonment of Western European Jewry.
Errors in scholarship not limited to the Jews. It amazes me that Jews can readily see the termite-like corruption within the catholic church and Luthern protestantism. But fails to weigh and consider that this same termite-like rot within the wood “furniture” of Judaism!
A terrible matter for a Talmudic scholar of fame to make a gross error in scholarship. But far worse for down-stream scholars of reputation to equally fail to correct the errors made by earlier generations by scholars of great reputation. This latter error directly resembles the perversions of the false messiah movements in Yiddishkeit, secretly influenced by the new testament abomination counterfeit messiah belief system.
The Torah defines faith as: צדק צדק תרדוף (justice justice pursue). Not chasing after some obtuse belief system of theology like the Xtian Trinity or strict Monotheism of the Muslim “church”. Justice: a lawyer never interrogates a witness by asking: “””What do you personally believe?”””
The scholarship of משנה תורה\common law/ as different from assimilated Roman statute law as the pursuit of justice to make fair restitution of damages inflicted upon others – from faith as defined as a personal belief in Gods. The Rambam’s 13 principles of faith, never once mentions the pursuit of justice! This collapse of understanding the משנה תורה of Talmudic scholarship, wherein the Talmud serves as the model for a restored Israeli common law lateral Federal court system, when Jews return and & reconquer our Homelands, this collapse of knowledge concerning common law, its directly responsible for the Orthodox gross distortion – its condemnation of Zionism in the 1920’s and ’30s.
When scholars of reputation make fundamental errors in scholarship, this “action” compares to a stone hitting the tranquil waters of a pond. Impossible to stop the ensuing ripple effect. Hence another metaphor for ירידות הדורות – ripple effect. The latter describes: ‘domino effect’ precisely.
Herein concludes my introduction to the two בנין אב precedents of עירובין to our Gemara of .ברכות ט. The Reshonim scholarship failed to lead Israel out of g’lut. Post Shoah scholarship needs to ask the fundamental and most basic of questions: Why did the Reshonim fail to lead Israel out of g’lut. If we cowardly refuse to hold our shepherd-scholars to account, even as we conquer Canaan, the threat of g’lut returning, it hangs over our heads like an ax to a Turkey on Thanksgiving.

Hizbollah failed to repeat the Oct 7th abomination surprise attack. This wisdom by which Bibi did not overreact and commit the IDF immediately all into Gaza, Hamas nor its allies expected this surprise move made by the government in Jerusalem.Hamas Oct 7th crossed the line. Israel slandered. The South African enemy accuses Israel of genocide like the 1975 UN 3379: ‘Zionism is Racism’. UN Resolution 3379, it defines the propaganda harnessed by enemy states. Israel today stands in a fight. And the IDF fights this war on our terms. Jerusalem dictates…the unconditional Surrender of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Israel “permits” some aid into Gaza? Propaganda. Egypt has sealed its border with Gaza. But Hamas bandits commandeer the international aid trucks, which Israel “permits” into southern Gaza. The dhimmi Arab feudal refugees, starving for food and thirst for water, their plight does not concern the feudal aristocratic lords of Hamas & Islamic. Their propaganda condemns Israel for the Palestinian casualties, used as human shields by their aristocratic Feudal Hamas & Islamic Jihad Lords.
The UN remains silent. UN Silence, its failure to condemn the Hamas Oct 7th abomination exemplifies the structurally biased UN plurality of states voting system which results in UN bad-faith against Israel.
A subtle nuance of international racism. The UN disproportionately condemns Israel; it refuses to recognize Israel as a country within the community of Nations in the Middle East region of the world. Like when the Islam Jihad missile struck the parking lot of a Gaza hospital – MSM Yellow Journalism Pravda Press Headlined: Israel bombs Hospital! No.
An Islamic Jihad errant missile hit that hospital parking lot. Not: “500 killed as the MSM Yellow Journalism Pravda Press parroted Arab propaganda lies!” Arabs lie, just that simple.The pathway by which the Arab people walk: a lie. This defined Arab destiny, best proven by the Second Sinai Commandment: do not prostrate to other Gods.
Free Will requires options, no less than two. Like the two opposing trees in the Garden of Eden. Yet never once does the Koran bring the first Sinai commandment Name revelation. The breath of this living Spirit Name. No word pronounced by human lips can pronounce. This Spirit Name revealed in the first Sinai commandment.
Israel simply not Shoah Europe. Because no Israel ruled as a nation in the Middle East prior to WWII, the Shoah cursed our People with genocide death.
Never Again. Expressed by Israelis post Oct 7th, a completely different “Red-Line” color-shade. Wisdom requires discernment, the awareness of subtle color-shade/nuances. The mitzva of ק”ש, known as the שמע, it requires for ones’ ear: “to listen”. This יסוד, fear of heaven, dedicates the סוד כוונה of this time-oriented commandment, which dedicates a defined tohor middah as holy to השם לשמה. What tohor spirit, dedicated holy לשמה, does a person sanctify as most holy, in all other time-oriented commandments? How can Human lips pronounce the Spirit Name? Spirits not words. A simple observation example of this requirement nuance distinction of fundamental terms.Arab lie: this metaphor, perhaps best described with: the silence of one hand clapping. The Evil Eye blood libel slander of Israel. Evil Eye Compares to the metaphor word known as: antisemitism. Antisemitism – inclusive of Zionism.
The Arab lie: Zionism is Racism – the Evil EyE of Goyim. Nazi SS barbaric racism against Jews, serves to define this metaphor phrase: ‘Evil Eye’. South Africa publicly accuses Israel of Genocide before a UN Court. Observe the speed that quick to blame Nations & self-righteous individuals jump onto their moral soap-boxes & condemn Israel. This antisemitic tendency compares to the News Paper Headlines selling copy: The Titanic Sank Headlines.
This Oct 7th Abomination War, immediately spread into an International conflict. Because Israeli victory: the unconditional surrender of the Hamas Government in Gaza, it radically changes the balance of power in the Middle East.
Hence the US & British naval involvement in the Mediterranean & Red Seas. Sales of Western military equipment & arms to the Ukraine international war. That war too/likewise changes the balance of power in the region if Russia loses.
Wars change the balance of power in any region the war fought. War comparable to how an Earth-quake can change the natural course by which a river flows. This earth-quake/war, it determines separates the borders of two countries. The river Jordan Britain established as the border of Trans-Joran and the Palestine mandate territory in 1922. The Rio Grand river the US dictated the terms of the 1848 Mexican American war. Both rivers serve as excellent examples of this tendency between nation state international diplomacy to use rivers as nation states international borders.War: Beware of enemy surprise traps. War its a Very risky – Red Alert – business. Great Power imperialism as a rule seeks to impose its economic dominance, forced upon weaker foreign governments & regions, just as Arabs – lie.
The British/French, their ’56 attempt to seize the Suez Canal from Nasser’s Egypt. This Great Power imperialist attempt at domination, it would have greatly impacted not just Egypt alone, but the entire Middle East. It would have made Britain and France co-equal to the US and Russian post WWII domination as the two super-powers.
This Great Power imperialism: the 19th Century British Empire’s forced-sale of opium to Chinese, addicted to that expensive British drug. The American pharmaceutical corporate monopoly makes ‘war on drugs’, its domination over the American market.
An opposite, yet similar case-example of British imperialism: The American “Tea-Party”, which functioned as the genesis of the American revolt against British rule in 1775. Casting British tea into the Sea, those American revolutionaries rejected the Crown’s Tea dominance over American tea-consumption.
Ghandi, prior to the outbreak of WWII, attacked the Crown’s domination over the Indian Salt trade. Times change, but the strategic National interests of nation state foreign Great Power imperialism, these strategic ‘Big Picture’ of any Nation State’s great power strategic interests. They remain a fixed constant, inherited by each and every government of that great power empire, they define imperialist policies of state which empires operate their imperial foreign policy.
The 1956 war, Britain and France sought to impose their control over the Suez Canal. This war goal of the 1956 war, the US Government made null and void; Britain and France placed into a permanent 2nd tier status.
Nevertheless, it reveals the EU imperialist appetite toward the Middle East, when 19th Century Britain ruled as the First among equals across the World.
EU seizure of that canal would have radically shattered the balance of power in the Middle East. Post the ’67 Six Day War, France, driven by the ambitions of great power status, dictated UN Resolution 242 to the UN Security Council. EU imperialism which seeks to dominate the Middle East like the US dominates trade in Central and South America.
Israel permitted [[[no say no vote]]] in that, and many all other, UN Security Council decisions. Denied the right to confront its accusers face to face. This UN Two-Faced = lie, shaped an alliance between the majority of world powers with the Arab world. Arafat openly lied, in his alliance with the Western Media Corporate Monopolies. A master propaganda manipulator, he restricted reality into a completely distorted revisionist history. And the press published his lies, repeated over again and again. Arabs lie & the UN General Assembly condemns Israel repeatedly every year.
Despite most countries who make up the African non-aligned states not having diplomatic relations with Israel. Yet this democratic plurality of nations has the UN charter which permits them to condemn the lone Jewish state.
But the UN General Assembly of Nation-States coalition against Israel, includes all oil producing nations other than the US. All governments employ propaganda to cover their crimes, and promote their strategic interes.
Propaganda used as soundless one-handed hand-claps. Which tar and feather the enemy – Israel – in repeated UN General Assembly condemnations. A type of ‘blood libel’, not limited only to Xtians during the Middle Ages.
New York Reform Jews recently protested against the Oct 7th Abomination war with: “Not in our Name” mass protests. These anti-Israel anti-war chants, thousands of Jews made alliance with Hamas Arabs who murdered some 1200 Jews in a day.
These Neturie Karta – like – liberal New York assimilated Jews,,, who have also intermarried with Goyim spouses … these two: Do Not Do: Torah Commandments, they lay the foundation of intent/the k’vanna\ of the 2nd Sinai commandment, which forbids the worship of other Gods.
Post this Abomination War, Israel needs to restructure the Courts of Israel and restore a Capital Crimes Sanhedrin lateral common law courtrooms to Judge Capital Crimes Cases, beginning with the Case against Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar war-criminal. He must hang for his Oct 7th Abomination war guilt.
Bibi correctly understood that Israel needs to change the Israeli courts, prior to the outbreak of the Oct 7th Abomination war. No Arab permitted to sit as a judge in the restructured lateral Sanhedrin Federal courtrooms. Post the Oct 7th Abomination war, Israel’s relationship with Arab residents living within the borders of Israel has permanently changed.

The Israeli attempt to shatter the “Ethical Containment Force” which maintains the culture/customs of Arab and Muslim, even Xtian civilizations.
For example: the shattering of the “Ethical Containment Force” of revolutionary France, Bolshevik Russia, Nazi revolution which cast the Weimar Republic upon the dung heaps of history, and the Iranian revolution which did the same to the Shah of Iran. In all these Cases the “Ethical Containment Force” shattered which witnessed the ensuing chaos and anarchy that followed.
No Universal God lives. Monotheism לא לשמה flagrantly rapes the 2nd Sinai commandment. The 10 plagues judged the Gods of Egypt just as the Armies of Israel judged the Gods of Canaan. The UN whore of the pre-WWII defunct League of Nations, tits on a boar hog. Prophets command mussar…they do NOT predict the future.
Israeli National Independence in 1948 NOT a Genesis creation story. Belief in dead gods, just a different form of gospels revisionist history that perverted Mankind till the Shoah. G’lut Jews abandoned the wisdom to obey משנה תורה\common law לשמה.
The תרי”ג commandments כלל, inclusive of all the halachic mitzvot in the whole of Talmud and Midrashim; the B’hag & Rashi פרט, ruled the lights of shabbat and visiting the sick – mitzvot דאורייתא. Purim: the Torah commandment not to assimilate and intermarry with Goyim. Removal of חמץ to up-root avoda zarah from the hearts of Israel.
The תרי”ג commandments NOT mitzvot organized into a positive/negative egg-crate carton. To observe shabbat requires the הבדלה which separates מלאכה from עבודה. To daven tefillat kre’a shma requires the k’vanna to duplicate the oaths sworn by the Avot. Hence the p’suk holds 3 Divine Names and requires both tefillin & tallit tzitzit.
Tohor time-oriented commandments NOT restricted to watching the clock. But arouse the fear of heaven כלל to dedicate a tohor middah to confront a national crisis. פרט Moshiach does NOT build a catholic cathedral but restores the cities of refuge, small Sanhedrin Federal courtrooms of the Torah Constitutional Republic. Faith defined: justice, justice pursue.

Remember when British propaganda rag Guardian & BBC continuously referred to Gaza, prior to the Oct 7th Abomination war, as an “open-air prison”. Now during the siege of Rafah these worthless rags depict the contrast between Gaza before and after Oct 7th. Only problem, the pictures of Gaza prior to the current war hardly depict an open-air prison!!! Or to quote the kapo Mondoweiss: “16 year siege and blockade of Gaza”.
This modern day ”Tokyo Rose” rag refers to post Oct 7th, according to what the Arab contributor to this bloody rag wrote on November 18th, 2023: Rashid Khalidi – “” It is apparent that the Israeli leadership has no clear political objective in waging this war, beyond revenge for the civilian casualty toll and the humiliating military defeat of October 7, which is presented as restoring ‘deterrence’.”” This same opinion piece refers to the Jewish state as: “a settler colonial (as well as a national) project.” This psycho mentality goes hand in glove with “From the River to the Sea Balestine will be free”.
This Jew-hating Mondoweiss rag sports the political-porn which depicts Hamas terrorism to “Irish, Algerian, Vietnamese, and South African liberation movements”. Less than a month following the Oct 7th abomination by Hamas, the Mondoweiss kapo rag referred to the war as a “genocide” war-crime. Before the month of October ended, New York CUNY ‘Not in our Name’ Jews protested for a ‘cease-fire’. 11 days after the attack, Mondoweiss propaganda decried a famine in Gaza!
Only a week after Oct 7th, this same rag described the Israel response as: “A war of extermination”, even before Israel began its ground invasion! Its slander referred to Gaza, described as a “Ghetto”. It already condemns Israel for “ethnic cleansing” & “genocide”. Four days after the Oct 7th abomination, Mondoweiss described Gaza as a “Human Catastrophe”.
Only 3 days after the slaughter carried out by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Rev Graylan Scott Hagler puked his condemnation for this massacre preaching from his moral soap box: “The blame rests with organizations and Zionist groups that have manipulated tax-exempt laws to fund ethnic cleansing initiatives.
Mahmood Mamdani, an Indian-born Ugandan academic, author, and political commentator. In 1996 he published: Citizen and Subject: Contemporary Africa and the Legacy of Colonialism. Mamdani contributes to the Mondoweiss propaganda rag. Mamdani embraces the Arab propaganda rhetoric which refers to Israel as a Crusader State. He states: “Israeli settlement organizations…use that funding to continue the history of expulsion and dispossession of Palestinians in the occupied territories…”
This kapo bloody rag abhors the current Israeli government. It slanders Bibi as readily as does post Israeli Independence Arab leaders despised Ben Gurion. But these “Liberal American Jews” likewise express their contempt for the pre-Oct 7th anti-government protestors as equally guilty for forcing Hamas to commit the Oct 7th atrocities.
Rev. Graylan Hagler writes: “Also, every Israeli who stood out and marched against Netanyahu and his ultra-racist right-wing coalition’s initiatives to weaken the judiciary in Israel and didn’t connect it to Israel’s war on Palestinians is to blame. They marched, rallied, and spoke out against Netanyahu’s move towards fascist authoritarianism in relationship to Israeli civil society but did not equate the ongoing occupation of Palestinian lands with fascist authoritarianism. They are to blame for failing to open the discussion and protest wide enough to include and demand a resolution for Palestinian grievances.”
A Mondoweiss Head Line of Oct 9th: “Support BDS to stop Israeli war crimes in Gaza”.
