Rabbi Lior: Kill the government

Rabbi Dov Lior of Kirayt Arba and Hebron issued a commonsense halachic ruling prohibiting transfer of any weapons to any Arabs.

The halacha comes a bit late, as Israel has already supplied Palestinian enemies with massive quantities of weapons and ammunition.

The ruling admonishes all Jews, especially IDF soldiers and officers to disrupt weapons transfers to Palestinians.

Rabbi Dov Lior declared the participants of such transfers “spillers of Jewish blood”, which automatically condemns them to execution.

Israel faces its greatest existential threat in its history.

Just finished reading Rabbi Lazer Brody’s, Emuna News Special Report: The Sword on Israel’s Jugular. Which states the following:

Israel faces its greatest existential threat in its history. At this very moment, every single city, town, and village between the northern border and Dimona is a push-button away from oblivion, for the triple menace of missiles from Syria, Hizbollah, and Iran rest like a sharp sword on Israel’s Jugular.

Is there anything we can do? Most of us are hundreds or thousands of miles away, in our own communities; yet our very being cries out: What can we do?

Here my dear brethren are some ideas that we can start puting into action immediately.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, taught us that, yes, there is something we can do.

The Rebbe taught us the power of a mitzvah.

A mitzvah, a G-dly deed, has the power to reach deep into the core of our being–where we are all one, and the physical distance between us is of no consequence. At this core, a positive deed on our part will help bring salvation to a brother and sister in distress.

During past conflicts in the Land of Israel, and during times of danger for the Jewish people, the Rebbe made practical suggestions of mitzvot that would elicit G-d’s blessings and protection.

Let us not underestimate the power of good! With a single good deed on our part, here and now, we can each contribute toward the victory and safety of our fellow Jews in Israel.

Take a minute to do one or more of the following. You can make a difference!

Torah study

Say a prayer for the soldiers of the IDF, and for all residents of the Holy Land (suggestion: Psalm 20 is traditionally said in times of distress).

Charity and acts of kindness: Put a coin in a charity box, give a gift of money to a fellow in need or to a charitable cause, or extend a helping hand to someone who needs it.

Tefillin: If you already put on tefillin every day, encourage a friend to do so. If you don’t yet, now is a good time to start!.

Mezuzah: If you don’t yet have a mezuzah get one now! If you already do have one, it may be time to have it checked to ensure that the words on the parchment have not faded.

Tzitzit: start wearing tzitzit even during the night, and even while sleeping.

As Rabbi Brody say’s “Let’s invoke Divine compassion by turning the tides of assimilation and spiritual contamination with a worldwide return to Hashem. Our lives depend on it”.

One way or another, the Truth will Always Prevail!

In view of some rather distracting and annoying comments from a blogger who praises himself with having the real and only truth regarding our Holy Land, that is, Eretz Yisrael, I have thought pertinent to post a couple of details regarding the truth about Palestine.

Let’s hope that Hashem gives him some enlightenment and he can start seeing some light regarding the fallacy which he is propagating over the Internet and unfortunately creating much hatered towards the Jewish People.

“PALESTINE?”

The term “Palestine” came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name “Palestine” was invented in the year 135 C.E. Before it was known as Judea, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Israel. The Roman Procurator in charge of the Judean-Israel territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the Jews in their past history. The scribes said, “the Philistines.” Thus, the Procurator declared that Land of Israel would from then forward be called “Philistia” [further bastardized into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and obliterate their history. Hence the name “Palestine.”

One more thing. Very often one hears the revisionists and propagandists finding ancient historical links between the “Philistines” (“Invaders” in Hebrew) and the Arab “Palestinians.” There is no truth to this claim! The Philistines were one of a number of Sea Peoples who reached the eastern Mediterranean region approximately 1250-1100 B.C.E. They were actually an amalgamation of various ethnic groups, primarily of Aegean and south-east European origin [Greece, Crete and Western Turkey] and they died out over 2500 years ago! Those Philistines were not Arab… and neither was Goliath! The Arabs of “Palestine” are just that… Arabs! And these Arabs of “Palestine” have about as much historical roots to the ancient Philistines as Yasser Arafat has to the Eskimos!

There was no “Arab Palestinian” history before the Arabs manufactured one shortly after 1948, and then especially after the June 1967 Arab-Israeli War! In an interview with the Dutch newspaper “Trau” (March 31, 1977), PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said, “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism. It is also been a “conceptual” war for ownership of the term “Palestinian” which has been transferred over to the Arabs whereas, before 1967, “Palestine” has always been synonymous with Eretz Israel and the Land of Israel.

Archeological sites to this very day continue to yield artifacts with Hebrew writing, not some fictitious “Palestinian” or Arabic text! The so-called “Palestinian” Arabs were simply then, as they are now, Arabs no different culturally, historically or ethnically from other Arabs living in any of the 24 Arab countries from which they emigrated. The suggestion that the “Palestinians” are some sub-group of Arabs with their own unique identity is pure fiction! Great propaganda… but still pure fiction! And had not the Arabs continued to brainwash generation upon generation into believing this HISTORICAL HOGWASH about some ancient “Arab Palestinian” ties to the Holy Land, most could have gotten themselves a real life by now with much less bloodshed and suffering for everyone concerned!

The name “Falastin” that Arabs today use for “Palestine” is not an Arabic name. It is the Arab pronunciation of the Greco-Roman “Palastina”; which is derived from the Plesheth, (root palash) was a general term meaning rolling or migratory. This referred to the Philistine’s invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea.

The use of the term “Palestinian” for an Arab ethnic group is a modern political creation which has no basis in fact – and had never had any international or academic credibility before 1967.

From the moment the Jewish People re-established sovereignty in their ancient homeland, they sought genuine peace with all of their neighbors. Unfortunately, their neighbors did not wish to share a peaceful existence with them. They, like Bin Ladin today, felt that they had a religious obligation to destroy the non-Arab/Muslim Jewish State (and, for that matter, ALL non-Arab/Moslem governments in the world). The Arab campaign against Israel is rooted not in any negotiable grievances but in a basic opposition to the very existence of Jewish sovereignty in what they perceive as THEIR Middle East! The ultimate intent of the Arabs is to separate out a Jewish history from “Palestine”… and then to separate Israel from the face of the Earth.

I could go on and on producing more evidence of what is the truth regarding the fallacy of the right the Arabs claim they have over Eretz Yisrael.

Just in case you did not know, it’s good to know!

“PALESTINE?”

The term “Palestine” came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Yisrael in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land.

The name “Palestine” was invented in the year 135 C.E.

Before it was known as Judea, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Yisrael.

The Roman Procurator in charge of the Judean-Yisrael territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the Jews in their past history.

The scribes said, “the Philistines.”

Thus, the Procurator declared that Land of Yisrael would from then forward be called “Philistia” [further bastardized into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and obliterate their history. Hence the name “Palestine.”

A Silver Coin Used To Pay Half Shekel Head-Temple Tax Found In Main Drainage Channel Of Jerusalem.

Press Release Israel Antiquities Authority

A Silver Coin That Was Used To Pay The Half Shekel Head-Tax To The Temple Was Found In The Main Drainage Channel Of Jerusalem From The Second Temple Period.
“A reminder of the half shekel” is also paid today as a donation
to the poor, before reading the Scroll of Esther at Purim.

This coming Thursday, before reading the Scroll of Esther, all devote Jews will contribute a sum of money – “a reminder of the half shekel” – which is a tradition that took root in the wake of the ancient virtuous deed of paying a tax of one half shekel to the Temple. This sum, which was used in the past for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the temple, is translated into a contemporary amount and donated to the needy.

The Shemen Afarshimon!

By Professor Vendyl Jones

The discovery of a vial of oil may have more to do with our future than our past.

The Shemen Afarshimon, the Holy Anointing Oil, from the Holy Temple, was found in April, 1988 by the VJRI excavation team. After intensive testing by the Pharmaceutical Department of Hebrew University, financed by the VJRI, the substance inside the small juglet was verified to indeed be the Shemen Afarshimon of Psalm 133.

The Lost City of Gilgal!

By Professor Vendyl Jones

A city from Israel’s past may play an important role in their future.

The wall we found at Gilgal is over one and a half kilometers in length (5,130 feet), but while it is eleven meters wide (36 feet) it is only half a meter high, a most unusual measurement for a wall. Why would Joshua build such a wall? Would such a wall keep out an enemy? Would a knee-high structure keep livestock in or out? Could such a wall keep in even a rabbit? Why use such odd measurements? What was walled out and what was walled in?

When the Children of Israel first arrived at Mount Sinai they erected a “hig-bal” or geder (wall) “round about” to make a makhitzah (barrier of separation) between the congregation and the Holy Mount. Later, the same type of wall or geder was made to surround the Tabernacle.

Remember:

When we use their language (i.e. “West Bank” instead of Judea-Samaria, “occupied territory” instead of liberated Jewish lands, “settlements” instead of Jewish communities, “Palestinian” instead of Arab, “Haram esh Sharif” instead of the Temple Mount, etc.), we are allowing the enemies of Eretz Yisrael to define the issues, create or distort history and control the debate.

Torah Dedicated in Memory of Erez Levanon, Murdered in Prayer.

by Ezra HaLevi

(IsraelNN.com) A Torah scroll was dedicated last week in memory of Erez Levanon, the Gush Etzion resident murdered just over a year ago while meditating in the forest near his home.

Neighbors, friends and others touched by Levanon’s story gathered in his home town of Bat Ayin and walked to the site in the nearby forest where the murder occurred, reciting the afternoon prayer there, “As we finished the last Kaddish after the Aleinu prayer, Purim music began to play and dancing started to take place around the beautiful new Torah,” said Joshua Halickman, who attended the event.

Eyes Upon The Land

Our Sages teach that every Jew possesses a portion of Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel. The converse is also true. The land possesses a portion of every Jew.

For this is “a land which G-d… seeks out; the eyes of G-d are always upon it, from the beginning of the year until the end of the year.” And just as G-d seeks out the land, so do we.

In recent years, it has become common to think of the solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict in terms of the formula, “land for peace.” Phrasing the question in that manner produces a ready answer, for regardless of our love for the Land of Israel, there is no question that all sacrifices necessary should be made to achieve peace.

In the pages that follow, we will present a different approach to the issues, one rooted in the principles of our Jewish heritage, yet starkly realistic in its appreciation of what is happening on the ground in and around Israel today.
