My Platform Will Consist Of

I still belong to a group of like minded people that belonged to the Israeli political party Zehut, which means “Identity”. And we’ve been having conversations about the recent wave of terror attacks in Israel. You may not have been aware of them as President Puddin’ head has been trying to start World War III during his walk back weekend. I’m sure circle back Psaki (Ginger Goebbels) has been having nightmares. But yes, there have been several attacks in just the last few weeks. The religion of pieces is getting warmed up for Rama-damn. Like most of the world’s other religions, Islam has the time of year, certainly not a holy day, where they celebrate with fasting (during the day) and going out and trying to kill Jews. In Israel or anywhere else they might be living.

So in the course of the group message conversation I made some statements. Someone in the group said something about the terror attack in Bnei Brak (a religious neighborhood) and the conversation started.

Concealed carry, free ammo and practice time for every Israeli citizen starting tomorrow

Shocking I haven’t been asked to run for office isn’t it?

There is no limit of one firearm to one person even. Rifle shotgun and handgun have different purpose. Ideally a person needs one of each. There is no firearms limit nor is there a magazine capacity limit.

Law abiding citizens should not have to live in fear of wild animals. Two or four legged.

No that’s my platform! I think you’re right there are strict limits and that’s why this keeps happening🤬

The arabs like all criminals couldn’t care less about weapons laws

Too bad they are so strictly limited and the arabs know it.. They’ll just go to areas where they can’t have them like finding gun free zones in America

It will be a great day when the leaders of countries care as much about their own actual citizens as they do illegals, arabs and criminals.

Now if they could get the media to announce every Jew applying for a permit will be granted and the government to ignore the railings of President Puddin’s handlers perhaps it could be sorted. The homicidal maniacs have to understand they will be stopped before the can create orphans and widows since they don’t mind dying.

I’m not including statements from anyone else as I haven’t asked permission.

But since Ukraine is the current distraction from the rise in all cause mortality, the galloping tyranny and injection reactions is being spoon fed with a shovel at the moment I’m not sure the MSM aka #FakeNews has had a chance to mention them. So here ya go.

Assailant kills 4 in stabbing attack in Beersheba, Israel

The attacker hit a cyclist with his car, killing the cyclist, then exited his car at the mall and stabbed three people to death before being shot to death by a bus driver. The dead included three women and a man. Police are searching for a suspected second assailant.

Kann News, a government-run news station, said the attacker was an Israeli citizen and a Bedouin. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups praised the attack but did not directly claim responsibility.

Kann reported that there have been repeated calls by Islamist terrorist groups for knifing attacks on Israeli citizens in recent weeks. The Jerusalem Post reported that this was the third stabbing attack in Israel in a week.

Terror attack in Beersheba unsettles Israeli government

The murderous rampage in one of Israel’s major cities March 22 not only left four Israelis dead in just eight minutes, but also delivered a devastating blow to the ruling coalition. It was the worst terrorist attack in Israel in years, made even worse by the perpetrator being an Israeli citizen, a Bedouin from the village of Hura. He was reportedly also a supporter of the Islamic State who had spent time in Israeli prison for security offenses.

Same attack, but more information.

Four People Killed in Southern Israel Terror Attack

Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanou praised the “executor of the heroic act in Be’er Sheva. Our battle against the occupation continues and we will not stop.”

“The occupation’s crimes shall be met with heroic operations: stabbings, rammings and shootings,” al-Qanou said.

Tensions have risen in Israel and the Palestinian territories ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, slated to begin next month.

On Sunday, a 20-year-old Israeli police officer was wounded in a stabbing attack in the Arab neighborhood of Ras al-Amud in Jerusalem.

A day earlier, an Israeli man was wounded in another stabbing attack in Jerusalem on Saturday by a Palestinian terrorist.

Ah yes, I’m sure we all, Jews and Christians, remember celebrating the holy days during our youth and childhood when we would all go out and try to murder innocent people of a different faith and then our friends and neighbors would hand out candy and sweets if we managed to kill an old woman, a young child, anyone really. /bitter sarcasm.

The first time I ever went to Israel I stayed in Beer Sheva. I loved it. I had a tree with a planter around it that you could sit on out in front of the building. I’d take coffee and my book or journal out there of an evening and write in it, of a morning coffee and prayers. No one ever bothered me. It was a lovely city.

But onto more.

6 dead, including alleged gunman, in apparent Israel terror attack

A gunman randomly killed at least five people when he opened fire on a busy street in Israel on Tuesday before he was taken out by cops, reports said.

The suspected terrorist shooting in Bnei Brak, an ultra-orthodox suburb of Tel Aviv, comes after two other attacks by Arab citizens that have sparked fear of ongoing violence ahead of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan on Saturday.

The gunman was identified by the Jerusalem Post as Dia Hamarsha from Ya’bad, He was allegedly convicted in 2015 on arms dealing charges related to his affiliation with a terrorist group, the Post said.

With all these Arabs committing attacks that have previous records of crimes does anyone know if the criminal supporting “judge” Ketanji Jackson has been working in Israel? Obviously they were set loose to commit other crimes. Though we are assured Ketanji is a lovely lady by RINO Susan Collins Susan Collins to vote ‘yes’ on Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court, in first Republican backing Side note unrelated to current story, this is why you never ever send money to the republican party. Just don’t do it. Your welcome.

Suspected terror attack in Israel leaves 2 dead and 6 wounded This one was in Hadera

The two gunmen opened fire at a bus stop in the city, which was located near several restaurants. Both of the gunmen were killed by undercover police officers who happened to be eating nearby, according to The Times of Israel, and six others were wounded in the shooting.

Thankfully they appear not to have been “woke” cops.

Terrorist Shot After Stabbing Bus Passenger

The wave of terror continues in Israel. A Palestinian terrorist on Thursday morning boarded a public bus near the Etzion Bloc of Jewish settlements in Judea and stabbed a passenger with a screwdriver.

But the murderous plans of the would-be killer were quickly ended by an armed civilian who neutralized the threat.

Arab indicted for stabbing 35-year-old Jew in Jerusalem

Murad Barkat, a resident of the Abu Tur neighborhood of Jerusalem, has been indicted for the stabbing attack of a 35-year-old man about two weeks ago on Derech Hebron Street near the First Station plaza in the city.

The attack in Beer Sheva was stopped by armed citizens. The one in Hadera by off duty under-cover officers, the one in Bnei Brak was stopped by Police, one of whom was a Christian Arab officer who gave his life.

Israelis come from across country to funeral of Amir Khoury

Haredi, religious Jews pay respects to Christian Arab policeman who gave his life to stop Bnei Brak terrorist attack

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We know during Rama-Damn that the Arabs celebrate their holy day by trying to kill innocent people. That it is praise worthy. So let’s look at some reactions to the most recent wave. Just a few.

“We the Jews are the very provocation, and until we vanish, the terror won’t end” This article has views from the political right and left. But for those that don’t know, Naftali Bennett, the current Prime Minister was head of a party called “Yamina” which means rightward. He campaigned saying he would never form alliances with the left. But Israel had a weird political system and no political party got the magic number of over 60 votes, so Bennett promptly formed an alliance with the left wing nut Benny Gantz who not only threw Jews out of their homes in Gaza (and that’s worked out so well) but the snakey Bennett had said in the past that Gantz should never become Defense Minister. So of course he joined forces with him and now Gantz is Defense Minister. He also enlisted Yair Lapid, and, wait for it, Mansoor Abbas. Head of the Arab the Arab joint list.

Abbas is also the Deputy Chairman of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement. That is not a small matter, given the fact that the Norther Branch of the Islamic Movement was outlawed in Israel.

Well of course he is. Always make political alliances with those trying to kill you in pursuit of personal power. And of course, Bennett can’t/won’t do anything to displease Abbas because if Abbass pulls out of the union, the government falls apart and it’s new elections. So you have a wave of Arabs murdering Israeli citizens and a PM who is scared to do what needs to be done. More on this in a minute.

Mayor withdraws resignation after condolences to shooters’ families

Umm al-Fahm Mayor Dr. Samir Sobhi Mahamed withdrew his resignation after publishing a letter of condolence to the families of the terrorists who committed the deadly shooting attack in Hadera on Sunday.

Mahamed had announced his resignation in a live interview Thursday evening, only to announce he would remain in office a few hours later.

The words of condolence to the families of the terrorists were published on the official Facebook account of the Municipality of Umm al-Fahm, and were written on his behalf of all municipal employees and residents of the city.

But average citizens? Israelis struggle with new reality of modern terror I’m not listing every opinion, just those I want to comment on.

Every terror-supporting Arab-Israeli should have their citizenship revoked, several Israelis said, in what appears to be a growing consensus.

Yes, yes they should. I believe Moshe Feiglin had a great plan for relocation. Sha’i ben-Tekoa has a fabulous plan. Any terrorist not killed committing a terrorist attack will be gathered up with their family taken to the Gaza border and shoved over with the clothes on their backs never to return. The doors will be taken off their house and it will be looted by their neighbors. Done deal.

“Those who dislike the current government will blame the government, those who oppose the occupation will blame the occupation,” said one Israeli man. “It’s all meaningless.”

Pro-tip: Don’t make alliances with those that hate you.

A new immigrant from Moldova, a mother of two, said what’s happening “feels like something new, a different style of terror. Especially when you hear of terror attacks being carried out with firearms instead of knives. You’re never safe, not even in your car, as we saw with one of Tuesday night’s victims.”

She, like many Israelis, feels the blame lies with the police who “had no problem surveilling Israelis who might be positive for COVID-19. How are they oblivious to organized terror attacks?

Ohhh, now that’s a really good question. The police can track and trace innocent people suspected of the crime of having a 99+% survivable flu, but not terrorists. Perhaps they need to re-examine their priorities?

Another Israeli woman, strolling through a local Holon park with her granddaughter, said she feels the attacks are retaliation for Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s Negev summit, which took place earlier this week with ministers from Abraham Accords nations, Egypt and the US. “It agitates [the Palestinians]. On the other hand, we don’t invest in their education, their infrastructure. It turns Palestinians resentful toward us.”

Um, Ma’am, they get “education” oh yes indeedy they do. And like the American school system that is churning out kids that are groomed for depravity from kindergarten on up but can’t do math or science they know all 57 genders by third grade. Falestinian UN-schools have school books that teach Jews stole the land, and its good for Arabs to kill them, so yep you’re investing in their education, it’s just not the education you hoped for. Much like American parents who are waking up.

Others have already decided to take security into their own hands. A father in his 30s revealed he is one of the many Israelis who have filed a request for a license to carry firearms.

And this brings me back to the start of my column. Israel has very strict gun laws. Firearm Licensing Department This is in English, but like the Torah:

The information provided in English is for explanatory purposes only. In case of any discrepancy, the definitive and binding version is the Hebrew wording of the law or the information provided by the Ministry of Public Security in Hebrew.

Government policy doesn’t turn on a dime. But now Naftali Bennett, is telling people to carry, if they can.

“This is the time to carry a gun,” Bennett tells citizens of Israel

On an average day, the Israel Ministry of Public Security receives no more than 60 applications for gun licenses.

The day after the Beersheva stabbing, 244 applications were received.

The Hadera shooting, in which two Border Police officers were killed, prompted 433 Israelis to apply for gun licenses.

And following this latest attack in Bnei Barak, applications skyrocketed to over 900 in one day.

Sounds like a lot doesn’t it. They won’t all be granted though.

‘Carry Your Guns and Open Your Eyes,’ Bennett Tells Israelis

During the upcoming Islamic month-long holiday of Ramadan, which begins on Saturday, Palestinians traditionally ramp up their violent, unprovoked attacks on Israeli civilians. According to a Dutch study cited by the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, “Ramadan brought with it a 200% increase in terrorist attacks in Israel between 2005 and 2016.”

And Rama-Damn hasn’t even started.

Closing thoughts, for those that want to judge Israel severely, I point out in the past when there have been waves of condemnation towards Israel, similar things begin to happen to U.S. And with President Puddin’ Heads puppet masters planning to open the flood gates of illegal immigration there will soon be plenty of opportunity.

To the feckless Bennett, you knew they were snakes when you picked them up. Now everyone will suffer because of your desire to be PM. You call on everyday Israelis to solve the problem but you have them crippled with strict gun control laws. How do you expect that to work out? Thus the point in my platform; rifles, handguns and shotguns all have different purposes. Every Israeli (not household, each) citizen can be armed with no ammunition limit.

Both of our countries right now are being led by people that hate us, they say you get the government you deserve, and looking at all the craziness going on maybe so. But I didn’t think we’d been that bad. But, ultimately, it’s not what I think, it’s what G-d thinks. אין עוד מלבדו

I know, shocking that I’m not fielding phone calls from Israeli political parties isn’t it?

Safer Communities

Anti-Semitism is on the rise. No doubt about it, while the left likes to try to blame it on the right politically, that doesn’t pan out. There are no politicians on the right, and most people on the right are not saying the sorts of thing the elected demoncrats in office have espoused. The #Demoncrats seem to be trying to do their best to move as far left towards G-dless communism and have put their far left members, such as “The Squat” in the driver seat. And that may be partly why the left hates Jews, we are suppose to be spreading the light and knowledge of G-d’s handbook for this world known as Torah, or Bible and they are determined to try to eliminate G-d from the conversation. Anyone’s conversation. Communism and socialism are G-dless religions, and so, the left loves those political doctrines. The dark doesn’t want the light, it makes the dark disappear.

There have been several attacks on religious communities lately. For a list of anti-Semitic attacks, including Synagogue attacks there is this, a list of attacks on Jewish institutions.

It includes Poway and Squirrel Hill. But the carnage at Poway was far lower than it could have been. And it was far lower than at Squirrel Hill. Chabad in Poway had armed congregants, Squirrel Hill didn’t.

Within a similar time frame there were also attacks on churches in Texas. The one in Sutherland Springs Texas was stopped by a neighbor who heard the gun shots and ran out the door with his AR-15. Not his shoes, but his AR. Man had his priorities straight. He stopped the murderer. The one in White Settlement near Ft. Worth was stopped by a member of the Church Security team. But he was one of several members on the Security team. Back to the days of New Life Church and Jeanne Asssam, there have been highly publicized incidents of armed citizens stopping killers intent on wiping out life.

This led somewhat predictably to elitist Mikey Bloomersberg calling for citizens to be disarmed so criminals wouldn’t be shot while they are trying to kill people gathered to pray to G-d.

“It’s the job of law enforcement to carry guns that kill. We just can’t let the average American have guns in a crowded place…gun control saves lives…”pic.twitter.com/qt7nDRvKxz

No word on if he’s giving up his own armed security. But then, he’s “special” you, are not. Bless his little heart. One more reminder he it totally unfit to be President of the United States of America.

Even more recently the attack on a Kosher Deli in Jersey City, which was originally an attack planned for the Synagogue attached.

But New York has strict gun control there, so Jews and other law-abiding citizens are supposed to be safe!

HA! The Attack in Monsey proved gun control lies are just that. Lies. The Bucket O’Chum used a machete. I understand from this episode of the Tamar Yonah show, the pictures of the victims on social media resemble those of the victims of the 1929 Hevron riots.

https://israelnewstalkradio.com/will-there-be-war-the-tamar-yonah-show-audio-%f0%9f%8e%a7/

Towards the end of the segment she is interviewing Shifra Hoffman, founder of Victims of Arab Terror. They are both discussing that all Jews need to be armed, and we need to secure our Synagogues, we must learn to fight and be prepared to do so. You’ll love listening to Shifra, she really tells it as it is. Shifra is strong on making Aliyah, to put it mildly.

If you have any doubts at all about attacks on Jews in New York, just follow Dov Hikind on Twitter, or read some of Jack Englehard’s latest columns.

While you’re on Twitter, you could also follow The Zelman Partisans.

This social media thing is interesting. There is a writer for Arutz Sheva that I enjoy. I read a couple of columns, followed him on Twitter and we are in each others network on LinkedIn. Moshe Phillips, the writer, has done some strong columns, as you can see. He is also the National Director of the U.S. division of Herut North America.

This lead to Moshe reaching out to us to see if we could help with publicizing a Synagogue Security toolkit. It is done by Herut, and there goal is to make it much harder to successfully attack a Synagogue. As Pat Parelli says, “Prior and proper planning prevent pee poor performance.” And this time it will save lives as well. There is also advice and things to think about in your daily life, not just at Shul. Life is precious, all attempts must be made to preserve it from those that attempt to steal it. Talk to your leadership today, have them get the book, if you’re in leadership, get it yesterday.

For Immediate Release: After Machete Attack on Monsey Synagogue- Security Tool Kit Book Published

This situation turned out as well as it did because they planned, and they had a team in placed. Be prepared to respond. Someone used to say “A gun is like a parachute. You may only need it once, but if you do need it, you will need it very very badly”.

The Correct Response to a threat

Make the choice, fight back, be informed, be part of a team, contact Herut. Fight back to live.

Signs of Hope

I get a weekly newsletter from Rabbi Johnathan Sacks called Covenant and Conversation, this week’s edition is about The Courage of Persistence. It’s always about the Parashat for the week. This week is Toldot. In this newsletter he talks about anti-semitic attacks in the Parashat. When the Philistines filled in the wells of Avraham for example. But a lot of it talks about the dichotomy of antisemitism.

As he points out in Amy Chau’s book World on Fire

Her thesis is that any conspicuously successful minority will attract envy that may deepen into hate and provoke violence. All three conditions are essential. The hated group must be conspicuous, for otherwise it would not be singled out. It must be successful, for otherwise it would not be envied. And it must be a minority, for otherwise it would not be attacked.

He further points out: Hostility to Jews becomes dangerous, she argued, not when Jews are strong, but when they are weak. This is along the lines of what Moshe Feiglin said in his column after the Synagogue shooting in Squirrel Hill.

But there is something more, deeper than the economic factor, which makes us partially responsible for what happened in Pittsburgh. Jewish history is being written today in the Land of Israel. It is clear to all of us that anti-Israel sentiments are the new expression of Anti-Semitism. When Israel is sure of itself, strikes its enemies as it did in the Six Day War, eliminates the hijackers as in Entebbe – the level of anti-Semitism decreases!!! And when Israel displays lack of self-assurance, temporariness, moral flaccidity – a feeling that we are not really on the map, that we are nothing more than colonialists acting only for the sake of self-defense, begging the Hamas for a cease-fire – then our enemies feel that they are just and anti-Semitism flourishes.

Rabbi Sacks continues on,

Antisemitism is a complex, protean phenomenon because antisemites must be able to hold together two beliefs that seem to contradict one another: Jews are so powerful that they should be feared, and at the same time so powerless that they can be attacked without fear.

It would seem that no one could be so irrational as to believe both of these things simultaneously. But emotions are not rational, despite the fact that they are often rationalised, for there is a world of difference between rationality and rationalisation (the attempt to give rational justification for irrational beliefs).

So, for example, in the twenty-first century we can find that (a) Western media are almost universally hostile to Israel, and (b) otherwise intelligent people claim that the media are controlled by Jews who support Israel: the same inner contradiction of perceived powerlessness and ascribed power.

He shows another way that the current situation in Gaza where the peaceful Falestinians so love the land of Israel and long to return to it that they are bombing, setting fire and trying to destroy it.

There is a second aspect of our passage that has had reverberations through the centuries: the self-destructive nature of hate. The Philistines did not ask Isaac to share his water with them. They did not ask him to teach them how he (and his father) had discovered a source of water that they – residents of the place – had not. They did not even simply ask him to move on. They “stopped up” the wells, “filling them with earth.” This act harmed them more than it harmed Isaac. It robbed them of a resource that would, in any case, have become theirs, once the famine had ended and Isaac had returned home.

But in the wake of the shooting at Squirrel Hill, I’ve been hopeful. Why? Because some are beginning to see that self-defense, and defense of others is necessary and right.

As Dave Kopel points out in his excellent paper on The Torah And Self-Defense

This last sentence is sometimes translated as “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.”

This final sentence does not delegate discretion; it is a positive command. A Jew has a duty to use deadly force to defend herself against murderous attack.

Emphasis mine. It is our duty and a positive mitzvah to defend ourselves!

Returning to something in Rabbi Sack’s newsletter, “Jews are so powerful that they should be feared, and at the same time so powerless that they can be attacked without fear.”

Ahh, but these times they are a changing.

This made me a little sad, as did this comment at the end of the article.

“I think he absolutely is generous in what he wants to do,” Ader said. “I think he wants to help and is very well intentioned. It just isn’t for us.”

Arming people, Ader told the TV station, “is a preventative measure, it is not part of the solution at all. The solution is civil discourse.”

I absolutely know he is entitled to his own opinion, but I don’t think he realizes yet that there are people out there that want to kill you, your congregation and there is not one thing civil or un that you are going to say to them to have a dialogue.

Some in Jewish Community Advocate Bearing Arms After Pittsburgh

Ahh, yes. These times they are a changing. It doesn’t matter how you want to dress that pig up.

Anti-Zionism IS Anti-Semitism

 

 

 

 

 

It’s still anti-semitism, it goes way back, it is unreasoning and it’s lethal. It is also much, much harder to implement if the target of your irrational hatred is armed and realizes they have a duty to protect themselves, their families and their community.

A friend of mine asked me after the shooting, “Why didn’t someone shoot the man? Why didn’t they stop him”? I pointed out I didn’t know the gun laws in Pittsburgh, but I rather suspected that being big city on the east coast perhaps they have pretty strict gun control and they had been legislated out of their right to self-defense, and therefore, their right to live. This is what happens when you elect big government, people controlling leftists.

Perhaps the new members of the Second Amendment community will begin to understand a big part of the Second Amendment is fighting to keep it because there are most certainly those that prefer an unarmed populace.

Should I mention the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht is tonight?
