Candles Can Stop Gaslighting For Fun & Profit

2 Comments

Well, one of my favorite holidays, Hanukkah is drawing to a close. This year it has been especially powerful for me. As I’ve written in previous columns concerning the miracles of Hanukkah, one of the things that’s different about Hanukkah is that unlike Purim, which celebrates the survival of the Jews from the destruction planned by Hamen, Hanukkah was about destroying Judaism, not Jews exactly. Antiochus would let you live, just don’t be so, well, Jew-ish. Antiochus didn’t have a firm grasp that you really can’t separate a person as a person, from their Judaism. A person can, but that’s a decision they are making. And so the holiday of Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Jews over the Hellenists and a huge army who didn’t handle rejection of their vision of what would come to be known as JINOs, Jews in Name Only, or left wing Jews. But before the Macabees light that solitary bottle of kosher oil that was found for the Menorah in the now cleaned are rededicated temple, there was a massive battle fought. Without that battle, there would have been no oil, no rededicated Temple, no Menorah, no latkas, no sufganiyot…oh, well, ok so that last couple of items don’t exactly have the same significance, but still.

Today, we’re seeing a similar battle. And I believe like my hero Judah Macabee, that it has to be fought, and is a worthy battle. Its the rise of antisemitism coming from the right. Or as Dinesh D’Souza called them, “The Woke Reich”.

I believe it started with the murder of Charlie Kirk. In the wake of that horrific murder the conversations centered on the irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric coming from the left against conservative figures. Charlie was not a racist, hateful or any of the other things the left and the media accused him of being. But I repeat myself. People like Jimmy Kimmel discovered normal every day Americans had had it with the dancing in the blood of people we respected. The lone sane democrat John Fetterman spoke out against calling people on the right nazis and things like that. Just when it seemed like America was on the verge of having a productive conversation about debating ideas rather than just ranting and screaming….well known grifter Candace Owens rushed out waving her arms screaming “Look at me!!! Look at me!!!!” As I believe the Macrons are suing Kooky Candy for her obsession with Brigette’s genitalia, she needed to find something else. And since she and Charlie had been friends, and from the way she acts, she wanted more than that, his death appears to have wound up being the new grift.

‘IT WAS THE JEWS!’ Screams Candace Owens On First Round Of ‘Clue’*

“IT WAS THE JEWS!” Owens cried. “The Jews, in the Conservatory, with the Space Laser!”

In Clue, the classic “whodunit” board game, players are charged with solving the murder of Mr. Boddy by determining where he was killed, with what weapon, and by whom. Owens, knowing that the Jews are secretly in control of the entire world, knew she wouldn’t need to find any clues to solve the mystery.

And that’s actually NOT too far off of what happened. That was the start of her wild allegations against a whole list of people that she believes killed Charlie. She accused Jewish donor to TPUSA Bill Akman and demanded he release an entire text message thread, and he did vindicating him. Did she apologize or admit she was wrong? HA! Nope she moved on to her next target, Bibi Netanyahu demanding he release the entire letter Charlie sent him implying he was concealing Charlie’s shift away from Israel. The gall of this guttersnipe is amazing. She thinks she can demand people give her what she wants and if they don’t it implies they’re hiding something and she was correct. No, she’s bat guano crazy, but that doesn’t stop her on her crazy train. As best I can tell the list of the people she’s accused of being involved in Charlie’s murder or the cover up include, but are not limited to, and may have grown since I compiled this list a couple of days ago.

She’s been on a tear about Egyptian planes and flight paths and how they prove they were shadowing Ericka around. Showing a chart with data points, very investigative of her. Except like UTC not meaning Utah Time, she was wrong about this as well.

Exposing Candace Owens’ Egyptian Planes: “66% Wrong on FlightRadar24!” Done by Kanekoa, and unlike Candace, he has receipts.

You know who Candace doesn’t think did it? The guy whos parents turned him in to the Sheriff’s Department and who the FBI thinks did it. Yeah, the one dating a furry who wrote Hey fascist catch, on his cartridges. A girlfriend of mine is so miffed about this she could spit nails. She said after all this, the jury may well have enough reasonable doubt because of all the doubt being thrown out there in Candace crap. She’s afraid the jury will either not find him guilty or not give him the death penalty.

But Egyptian planes are far from the only thing Candace has been wrong or lying about. If you’re curious about the rise of Candace, A Full Timeline of Candace Owens’ Bizarre Political Flip-Flops.

Part of how Candace became known was her involvement in “Blexit”. And a former volunteer tells us how she did with that.

Candace’s actions at Blexit

At one time Candace was involved with Prager U. She had become so antisemitic that Dennis Prager reached out to her to try to explain to her why her “facts” weren’t facts and what was incorrect in her claims. She didn’t respond, and Dennis then made the long letter public and it is well worth reading. Dennis Prager’s Letter to Candace Owens

….I wish I did not have to write this letter. But Candace has said many things that need to be answered. The primary reasons I have not spoken out sooner are that I needed to become fully acquainted with all or nearly all the things she has said about Jews, Zionism, and Israel, make sure I quoted her accurately, and that I never did so out of context. That was time-consuming work.

I ask anyone who has been influenced by Candace with regard to Jews, Israel, and Zionism to make the effort to read this entire letter. If you care about truth, I believe you have a moral obligation to do so.

Dennis Prager

….

And then you might want to have a listen to Jeremy Boreing explaining to the Daily Wire team why they had fired Candace. And he’s not stating opinions, he’s citing actual example of things she has done or said and in what context. It’s also worth hearing him explain some of her tactics. Like making statements that both antisemites such as Nick Fuentes and people supportive of Israel and Jews perceive to be antisemitic. When the antisemitic group applaud her statement, she never pushes back and says, hey I didn’t mean that against Jews or Israel, she just lets it stand. But then when someone pushes back on a statement, she claims she never said that, they just took it that way and it’s their fault. Yet, somehow two polar opposite groups believe she did say something antisemitic. Gas lighting 101 or dealing with an emotionally abusive person.

And her duplicity in her wording is where a lot of the division is coming from. As Jeremy points out, for a skilled communicator, one of the best, if she wanted to be clear, she would. She doesn’t. Her game is to sow dissension and innuendo. For my example, I will go with the did she accuse President Trump of killing Charlie?

In the clip of Owens’ latest take on Kirk’s assassination, she does mention Trump but there is no direct accusation leveled at him. One of the profiles sharing that Owens was blaming Trump put out a part of her speech as well.

She said “He gave so much of his life to Trump & to politics, and they were just like NOPE. That’s it. So here’s a holiday. What is with them giving them a holiday after they kill them?…As soon as they give you a boulevard and a holiday, they definitely killed you. There’s no question – they killed you.

So of course she will say she never accused President Trump. Not to mention her trick bag of “I just know, you know”, or in a dream, or I got a tip, or or or. But maybe that’s why she said she didn’t care about the midterms. I for one, don’t want to live under demoncrat control again. But hey, what are midterms to her?

Now lets look at Tucker.

Tucker appears to be suffering from the onset of dementia.

And like all devout Christians in Tuckerworld, he’s very supportive of Islam.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iELcz7BUEkM

When trying to find a short clip of this part of his AmFest speech on YouTube, I found it interesting that it was posted in many accounts, and the ones listed toward the top all have account names like MuslimMom, or Muslim in the account name, or you click on it and all the comments are supportive of Islam. But this was a short clip so I picked it. I’m sure Tucker likes Islamic countries very much, after all, he’s buying a house in Doha Qatar, financial supporter of Muslim Brotherhood terrorism. And, America first, right?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6sc6F5JDc6s

Since January, Tucker Carlson has been funded by Qatar and has become an opponent of Trump

Tucker’s trustworthiness is probably similar to Candace, he just has a different technique.

Debunking Tucker Carlson’s Darryl Cooper Interview Hillsdale is a wonderful resource.

Recently, Tucker Carlson hosted the podcaster-cum-historian Darryl Cooper on his show. Though introduced as the “best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” Cooper spent his time peddling ahistorical conspiracies and factual errors. Gaining over thirty-four million views on X alone, such assertions need to be challenged. Most of all, his attacks on Sir Winston Churchill.

Or who can forget his riveting interview with the Christian nun with the mustache The Anti-Semitic Nun Who Happens to Be George Stephanopoulos’s Sister

There is a special kind of dishonesty that corrodes everything it touches. It wears the trappings of religion, borrows the vocabulary of faith, and then uses both as camouflage for something entirely different. People instinctively give it a pass because it comes wrapped in sacred cloth. That instinct is exactly what the deceiver is counting on.

We saw a perfect example when Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos — yes, the sister of broadcaster George Stephanopoulos — appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show. She did not come to offer a theological reflection or spiritual counsel. She came to launder old anti-Israel tropes in the language of humanitarian concern. By presenting herself as a defender of persecuted Christians, she dressed hostility toward Israel in the costume of virtue.

And of course, Tucker was right up front about his guest being the sister of a demoncrat advisor..

scratch that, he never mentioned it. That’s a pretty interesting article by the way. The nun with a mustache is every bit as honest as Tucker at this point.

Tucker Carlson Interrupts Speech For Evening Prayer To Mecca*

….Carlson reportedly grew agitated as the crowd began to jeer and boo. “You’re trying to censor me! This is cancel culture!” he cried. “How dare you! This is loathsome, obviously!”

At publishing time, Carlson had expressed hope for a much warmer reception at the upcoming QatarFest…..

One of the problem is people still trust Tucker, they accept what he says as truthful. And the consequences of that are very high, and they probably won’t affect him in the least. In a heart breaking irony, Tucker’s speech came only a few days after a vicious attack on a Chabad public menorah lighting at Bondi beach in Australia. Two muslim men that Australia had taken in, father and son decided the best way to spend their day was shooting as many Jews as possible. Thankfully the explosives they had taken didn’t go off.

Patrick Bet-David, had a Australian pastor and his wife on just a couple of days ago. He was born in Egypt and lived there till he was about 9 years old I believe. His family was Christian, a minority in a muslim country now that used to be majority Christian. He and his wife have quite the message for Americans about what it’s like to live in a formerly free country that has a large muslim population. I’m going to use several clips from this one video, but I’ll start the video at the relevant points.

First, let’s address Tucker’s claims about you can’t make judgments about people based on their faith. Martin and Millicent Sedra do have experience being Christians in a heavily Muslim place, he grew up being taught in muslim schools in Egypt, so perhaps he knows more than Tucker.

Why doesn’t Egypt take in Falestinians?

And to address the confused Tucker, what about living with muslims, what does the religion call for? Is it compatible with Western culture and values? What should America do about Muslims? From there it goes into why all these New Year’s Eve celebrations are being canceled world wide.

Why do Martin & Millicent need to hire security and German Shepherds to have a Christmas celebration at their church in Australia?

Can the two co-exist?

And a bit about speech, and why it matters, this will be re-visited in a bit. I’m also very very sad Patrick seemed completely unaware of the WhatsApp call from the innocent denizen of Gaza calling his parents on October 7th. And I think that’s where some of the antisemitism, and anti-Israel views come from. There is so much information that normal sane people don’t know. A dishonest media and people that could share the information don’t necessarily want to talk about it. Decent people don’t know any better.

Now let’s talk about one of the reasons why all this matters, why I went into all the deception from Candace and Tuckers. I hope I gave you enough to not take the things they say against Jews and Israel without first considering the tainted source.

There is a growing divide on the right, and I firmly believe it was started by very talented grifter Candace Owens. She hates Jews and Judaism, and that started with her conversion to her husband’s form of Catholicism called SSPX. I also have a hunch she wanted to be more than just Charlie’s friend and is very jealous of Ericka Kirk. She acts like a woman scorned. In recent years she hadn’t been invited to appear at TPUSA events, and I suspect there was good reason for that.

Candace Owens Honors Charlie Kirk’s Legacy By Doing Everything In Her Power To Destroy It*

U.S. — Podcaster and renowned private investigator Candace Owens has vowed to honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy by doing everything in her power to destroy it.

Owens has pledged, for Charlie’s sake, to stop at absolutely nothing to burn down the movement he built, as well as bring pain and harm to every person Charlie ever loved.

“All of my efforts to dismantle Charlie’s organization and hurt the people he cared for, that’s all for him,” said Owens. “As Charlie’s family and friends receive death threat after death threat because of me, I want everyone to know I’m doing it for Charlie. His legacy was one of deep love for Christ, his family, friends, and Turning Point. Which is why I am venomously slandering his family and friends, and will do everything I can to burn Turning Point to the ground.”….

The temperature was turned up and the lid blown off the schism at the beginning of AmFest when Ben Shapiro spoke. Basically he said things that shouldn’t have to be said. Like it’s wrong to attack a grieving widow and the co-workers of a murdered man. But this is apparently where we are. If you are a tiny country about the size of the state of New Jersey and the population of Israel is 9,577,913 as of Monday, December 22, 2025. It is the only Jewish country in the world, and there are about 17,161,100 Jews world wide total. Roughly 0.2% of the world’s population. Why should that tiny country need to explain to the world why they need to prevent the people they gave a falestinian state, and Gaza basically was the two state solution, They elected hamass and they still support their actions on October 7th, and look forward to being able to attack them again. If we have to explain that raping men, women and children is wrong, that cutting a fetus out of a pregnant woman is evil, and decapitating people with garden implements is immoral and putting babies in ovens in front of their parents is depraved, murder is wrong and so is taking hostages, then there is a deeper problem than Israel not doing PR well. When you have college students protesting Israel genocide the day after the attack you should have the intuition to sense something is off. Islamic Republic of Iran Outraged at Pro-Regime Prof’s Demotion in Arkansas. The third one actually they’ve had to get rid of, in middle America Arkansas….A fair amount of the world apparently lacks a moral compass. If things like that have to be explained, I guess it makes sense that Ben apparently needs to explain it’s a bad, naughty, evil, wrong thing to attack innocent people when you have no proof of wrong doing.

One faction of the right, the side with Candace, Tucker and Megyn are framing this as a discussion about canceling voices. Jack Posobiac, someone I quit listening to some time ago came out on stage to assist Megyn as she attempted to attack Ben Shapiro’s speech.

Ben Shapiro Delivers Blistering 3-Hour AmFest Speech In Just 17 Seconds*

….

Shapiro, who delivered a speech about charlatans and grifters infiltrating the conservative movement and the need to stand against them, seemingly zapped his entire 3-hour speech into the minds of listeners in just 17 seconds like an advanced alien communicating telepathically. Camera footage, however, confirmed that Shapiro did move his lips in a manner consistent with human speech.

….

Megyn whipped that red herring out from under her dress where she’d hidden it, deftly flipped it to Jack who caught it expertly and chimed in as they denounced Ben who was rather making the point just because you can say something doesn’t mean you should. Ben’s speech wasn’t about censoring voices, it was about using wisdom and discernment on who you let on your platform. And if your guests aren’t going to be honest, to keep credibility maybe you should push back, or question them. Something Tucker certainly didn’t do with the nun with the mustache, the fake historian he claimed was honest and apolitical and Nick Fuentes. Megyn claimed she didn’t want to pick on Candace because she was a young mother, like Meghan Markle…

Oh, well, ok then. Parody of Meghan Markle’s ridiculous show.

Scott Jennings appeared on Batya’s show, and he was asked to comment on it. His comments are true. It’s only 3:34 long.

It’s not about censorship, it’s about what the party will accept. Will we the conservative movement become like the demoncrats and practice intersectionality to the max? Pedophile? Come on in! Transgender wanting to compete in women’s sports and use their bathrooms? Come on in! Pushing drugs and surgery on children? Come on in! Pushing illegal invaders ahead of American veterans? Come on in! Pushing communism? Come on in! Accepting people into the country with values radically different than the Judeo-Christian values our country was founded on and refusing to assimilate? Come on in! The left has embraced and given a platform to every evil degenerate position they can find, is that the way the conservative movement wants to go?

You don’t have to have a crystal ball, a palm reader or any other prophetic device to see where this will go. Just look at the formerly free countries of Australia and Englandistan.

Martin and Millie talked about self defense in Australia, against the muslim horde the government welcomed. Don’t forget a couple of days after the Bondi beach attack, 7 muslim men were arrested on their way to Bondi beach to attack the memorials going on there. They are unrelated to the other two, any guesses as to how many terrorists in Australia? Don’t feel bad, they haven’t a clue either. What are the laws of self defense in Australia?

In the wake of October 7th, Australia allowed the hamass jihadis living in Australia free rein to go out in the streets and make threats against the Jewish community. Synagogues have been fire bombed, people have been attacked, and in front of the iconic Sydney opera house a couple of days after, a mob chanted “Gas the Jews”, Martin and Millie discussed this incident as well. Police allowed the riot, and told the Jewish residents to stay home. Right, rule of law or something….the lone Jewish man there with an Israeli flag was the only one arrested, not the mob.

It’s not like Anthony Albanese didn’t have warnings. Rabbi Eli Schlanger who was murdered by the terrorists at the menorah lighting had asked Albanese to reconsider his rewarding the Hamass terrorists by recognizing a falestinian state.

Hours after Rabbi Eli Schlanger was murdered at Bondi Beach, Sydney during a mass shooting at a Hanukkah event, a letter he had recently sent to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was revealed. In it, the rabbi made an impassioned plea regarding Australia’s recognition of a Palestinian state and rising antisemitism in the country.

“As a rabbi in Sydney, I implore you not to betray the Jewish people and not God Himself,” wrote Rabbi Schlanger. “This land was given by God to Abraham, then to his son Isaac, and then to Jacob, to be the eternal homeland of the Jewish people. Throughout history, Jews have been torn from their land again and again by leaders who are now remembered with contempt in the pages of history.”

The rabbi wrote the letter following Australia’s recognition of a Palestinian state and amid rising antisemitism in the country. “Today, you have an opportunity to stand on the side of truth and justice,” he continued. “By reversing this act of betrayal, you will not only honor the Jewish people and our heritage, but also stand with the word of God. If you choose this path, you will be welcomed home with open arms and even a warm Shabbat meal. I bless you in advance for having the courage to do what is right and to stand firm against this act of apostasy. In hope and prayer, Rabbi Eli Schlanger.”

The terrorists were known to the government, the Australian version of “The FBI was watching them”. In addition to that, the Mossad warned the Albanese government ahead of time when most likely the attack would take place, and where. And the Albanese government did??? Oh right, the government that allowed mobs to chant gas the Jews did nothing.

Bondi Terror Attack Survivor Says Police Were More Concerned With This Than the Terrorists

Several points on this one.

Bondi survivor Vanessa Miller

Bondi survivor Vanessa Miller was separated from her three-year-old daughter and pinned down by gunfire. She told

@Erin_Molan

that she tried to grab the gun of a critically injured officer to suppress the terrorists, but other officers—rather than returning fire themselves—held her back.

“These police officers were hiding behind a car… I tried to grab one of their guns. Another one grabbed me and said ‘no.’ I hope they are hearing this. You are weak. You could have saved so many more people’s lives. They were just watching this all happen, holding me back.”

In addition to that, remember the clip of the jihadis at the Sydney opera house chanting “gas the Jews?” You really should see this video that goes with this one.

If the police had heeded the pleas of Australian Jews, and arrested, investigated & charged or deported the “Gas the Jews” marchers, 15 innocents would still be alive, and Bondi would still be famous as an iconic beach—not as a massacre site. But they chose to pander to jihadis.

In addition to that, the police appear to have frozen during the attack. You know, the police that will come protect you after the Australian government confiscated all the guns to keep everyone safe. Those police. Here’s the Image That Says It All About the Australian Police Response to the Bondi Terror Attack

Australia Proves Gun Control Doesn’t Work

Because you know, diversity is our strength and can’t say mean things to the muslims. So, the Australian government has a plan! Crack down on free speech, and implement more gun control in the gun free utopia of Australia. And the brave (if it’s an unarmed civilian) police have already arrested someone for saying hurty words to the failed PM Albanese who should have resigned last week. And I get the feeling the Australians have about had it with the useless piece of schiff.

What’s it like living in the Muslim controlled country of Englandistan? Similar, just further down the road.

Islamophobiacs at It Again in U.K.

New Definition ‘Worse than Feared,’ MP Warns

A new definition of “Islamophobia,” slated for publication in the U.K. this week, has triggered widespread alarm among free speech campaigners. A leaked version of the definition revealed that the government had rebranded “Islamophobia,” a phrase used to silence criticism of Muslims, Islam, and Islamism, as “anti-Muslim hostility.”

Leading secular and religious free speech advocates and parliamentarians warned that the alternative terminology of “anti-Muslim hostility” could still serve as a de facto blasphemy law, stifling legitimate criticism of Islam, and rendering such discussions as an arrestable offense in the minds of law enforcement officials intimidated by Muslim extremists in the U.K.

This is what it looks like when your country is being conquered by Islam bit by bit. There are already places in the U.S. Historic Minneapolis Bar Closes, and Guess What It’ll Be Converted Into Now

If you were wondering what life looks like under Islam, take a glimpse at places like Dearborn and Minneapolis. In Dearborn, the Islamic call to prayer wakes you up in the early morning hours, every single day. If you complain about it, your city council and mayor will tell you that you don’t belong there. In parts of Europe, there are “no-go zones” where native citizens aren’t allowed to travel.

And in Minneapolis, a bar that was almost 120 years old is now being closed and converted into a mosque. Remember — alcohol is forbidden in Islam, so it only makes sense that in cities with large Islamic populations, drinking will eventually be banned.

Tulsi Gabbard Reveals the Greatest Threat to Freedom in the US

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, issued a warning about what she described as the growing threat of Islamism in the United States, at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest. Arguing that its ideology clashes with the principles of the U.S. Constitution, she said the problem can only be confronted by electing leaders committed to defending Americans’ God-given rights above all else.

“There is a threat to our freedom that hasn’t been talked about enough,” she began. “And it is the greatest near and long term threat to both our freedom and our security, and that is the threat of Islamist ideology. It is propagated by people who not only do not believe in freedom, their fundamental ideology is antithetical to the foundation that we find in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, which is that our Creator endowed upon is inalienable rights — the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Why aren’t we talking about that? Because a crazed jealous deranged grifter is busy throwing tennis ball suspects for Charlie Kirk’s murder. She throws one tennis ball, the Jews, then another tennis ball, the Egyptians, then another tennis ball, people in maroon shirts. One after the other, subscribe to her podcast, send her money and she’ll find the real killer. Nothing about the threat of Islam.

Then there’s Tucker, he’s busy praising Islam from TPUSA’s stage.

Tucker Carlson: “Attacking Millions of Americans Because They’re Muslims, It’s Disgusting.”

Charlie Kirk: “Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.”

Charlie Kirk was a brave warrior who was never afraid to challenge the Muslim persecution of Christians. One of his tweets that outraged leftists was that, “Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.”

Tucker Carlson however took the stage at TPUSA’s AmFest to denounce criticism of Islam.

Charlie Kirk: “Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.”

Tucker Carlson: “Attacking millions of Americans because they’re Muslims, it’s disgusting.”

Tucker is rejecting Charlie Kirk’s defense of America.

Tucker is a parasite using his hosts (TPUSA) event to make himself stronger.

Megyn Kelly is just dancing around throwing those red herrings in the air about this being about free speech and no one can tell her what to say. You can say it, but should you? You claim you don’t want to call out behavior, but then do so if it’s someone with a platform who doesn’t have followers that might physically attack you or your family, so.

Who did Charlie look to?

Who Charlie Kirk look to.

So with that, I will give you Ben Shapiro’s speech, which shouldn’t be controversial at all. It is bold, and as Scott Jennings said, necessary. We just finished Hanukkah, and when I heard Ben’s speech it just dropped my jaw, I just know, I just know Judah Macabee smiled. And this is the thing, I will never be in a position to pick up a rifle and fight with the Golani brigade, I will never work with Mossad, so what can I do to help fight the rise of antisemitism and by extension the one Jewish country? Maybe I can share information, maybe I can answer questions well when asked, I can try to do what G-d put in front of me. Because I do believe we are again in Hasmonean times, and circumstances. I believe everyone has some sort of sword they can use to be a person on the side of good. But we must be like the Macabees and willing to use it, and then as they did, leave the results up to G-d.

If a column linked has a * at the end of it, it’s satire, The Babylon Bee. But sometimes it’s so close to reality I figured perhaps I should mark it.

But Ben’s speech? Pure Israeli coffee, the best!

American Hanukkah

1 Comment

It’s that wonderful time of year when we celebrate Hanukkah. Hanukkah means “dedication”, as in cleaning and purifying the Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple after it had been defiled. I’ve written a lot about Hanukkah, what happened and why. But I’m going to touch on a few of the elements to explain why America is ready for it’s own Hanukkah. Hanukkah was about the culture of Judaism. The laws that G-d had given us that were to be observed. Things like

Some Jews became quite infatuated with Greek culture. But the more they imitated the Greeks, the less respect the Greeks had for us. They began to mock Judaism and enact laws against it. First they locked up the synagogues and schools. People prayed and studied in one another’s homes.

Then, the Greeks passed a law that all Jews had to write a sentence stating they had no portion in the G‑d of Israel on the horns of their livestock and on their doors. The Jews sold their livestock and removed the doors from their homes.

The Greeks passed a law outlawing circumcision. The Jews made up secret signs through which they announced circumcision ceremonies, and guests risked their lives to go wish the new parents “Mazel Tov!”

The Greek soldiers started assaulting Jewish women The Greeks outlawed Shabbat, the celebration of the New Moon, and Torah study. Jews hid in caves and continued to observe all three. The Greeks found hundreds of ways to try to stamp out Judaism. Jews found hundreds of ways to quietly rebel and to remain what they had always been. Then the Greek soldiers started assaulting Jewish women. The governor made a decree—unfortunately, a common one in ancient cultures—called jus primae noctis, “first night rights.” The governor would kidnap and assault every bride on her wedding night.

Which brings us to the first of the two women I’m going to speak about. Channa, or Hannah. She was the sister of the Maccabees, and she had a very strong objection to being raped on her wedding night.

Amidst the elegant flowers, soft music, and the conversations of the guests, the bride suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the room, placed her hand on her chest, and tore open her gown.

Shocked, angry, and embarrassed, her brothers rose to drag her from the room. But she stood firmly in place and addressed the room: “You who are so zealous that you would kill me, are not zealous enough to protect me from the hands of the Greek governor who will come here to assault me tonight.

“Did you not learn from Shimon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, who, though only two men, killed the entire city of Shechem for her sake? Place your faith in the One Above, and He will help you.”

Her five brothers declared their willingness to go to war, and were answered by a voice emanating from the Holy of Holies promising victory.

And honestly, Shimon and Levi were around 13 or 14 at the time. Those kids knew what they were about.

The next woman were going to speak of is Yehudit, and she is more of a participant than being an inspiration only. Though she is pretty darn inspiring! Yehudit’s story occurs a few hundred years before that of the Maccabbes. Yehudit’s story takes place in and near the town of Bethulia, in Judea when it came under siege by Holofernes, a Syrian-Greek general, under Nebuchadnezzar. Holofernes was extremely cruel. When he laid siege to a town and then conquered it every living creature inside, men, women and children and probably animals would suffer. They’re like the state of New York in that way. The town was on the verge of surrender. They had been under siege and were out of food and water. After a town meeting Yehudit addressed the town elders and asked them not to surrender in the five days they had given G-d to rescue them. She told them they should have more faith in G-d than to put him on a time table. But she had a plan. Which they immediately tried to talk her out of. Ok, I can kind of see that. It was incredibly risky for her. But the only people she was putting in extreme danger were herself and her loyal maid servant. Yehudit was a widow, but still very beautiful, wise and charming. She donned her beautiful apparel she had put aside when she was widowed, donned her jewels and a veil. She and her servant left Bethulia near dark and went to Holofernes camp. To his tent after telling the astonished sentries that was her destination. This just simply wasn’t done! But, she did it. She convinced the evil Holofernes that the town was about to fall, and she wanted to save her life and that of her family and servants. She and Holofernes worked out a deal, she would supply him with intel and they would live. Holofernes then threatened his camp if anyone laid a hand on her. So she and her servant were given complete freedom to roam around unmolested. Every day she would take intel to the town and spread Karin Jean-Pierre like lies back to Holofernes. One evening she told Holofernes he’d be able to take the town the next day as they were out of Kosher food, and they would be forced to eat un-kosher food and then G-d would turn his back on them. Holofernes was, I’m sure, elated. With a twinkle in his eye he invited Yehudit to a “private dinner” that night, just the two of them. Gag. But she’s really good at this, like one of the original honey pot traps! She shows up, probably had a brand new color of nail polis…oh wait, that would be my idea.. anyway, she shows up with her own food because of course Holofernes doesn’t have Kosher food. So she tells him she’s famous for her goat cheese, and proceeds to ply him with goat cheese. Which is salty, which makes him thirsty, which makes him drink a ton of undiluted wine that she helpfully provided, which makes him drunk as a skunk, which makes him pass out. In retrospect, probably works better than nail polish anyway. So when he’s passed out cold, she takes his own sword and as my Rabbi tells it “daintily cuts off his head”. She take the head back to town under the cover of darkness. The next day the soldiers wake up to a not only dead drunk Holofernes, but a flat out dead Holofernes. Which understandably discombobulates them. So, they scatter and the town is saved! I’d say not only Bethulia, but whatever town he was going to hit next. But that my friends is why we also eat cheesy and dairy foods at Hanukkah. Originally it was cheese pancakes before potatoes were known.

Both women took a strong stand to preserve their homes, their towns, their families and their honor. There are some that say Yehudit was in fact related to the Maccabees, and was the daughter of Yochanan the high priest, father of the Hasmonean family.

And we know that the Maccabees fought, not so much because the Greeks wanted to kill Jews, although it wasn’t a problem for them, but basically they wanted to kill Judaism, their way of life, their reason for being. To deprive the Jews of Judaism, is to destroy them.

So since I’m speaking of women, lets look at what the culture of America has done to women under the power of the evil Holofernes Biden and his puppet masters. Now, I have no problem saying Biden is evil, and it goes way back, but at this point he’s basically barry sotero’s cardboard cutout. And I suppose whatever malice “Dr Jill” pushes him into. The demoncrats talk about Republican’s “binders of women” well let’s see how those champions of women stack up. Women’s sports have been decimated under the biden crime regime. Parents Speak Out After Daughter Suffers Life-Altering Injury Playing Volleyball Against Transgender Opponent. Their goal appears to be to erase women, and motherhood all together. They have a big guy in drag that is suppose to be Assistant Secretary for Health and Human services. They have a person with I’d say some kind of mental disorder in charge of health and human services. And under his leadership, they have pushed and groomed the transgender agenda which is making big pharma giddy with glee. Those homones are a lifetime commitment and the surgeries ain’t cheap. Drag queens don’t seem to want to read stories to the elderly, only little children as they “normalize” the sight of big hairy men in makeup and dresses. Parents that have understandably objected have been labeled terrorists. The biden junta celebrates DEI and the ignorance and stupidity it brings by nominating a woman of color so stupid she doesn’t even know what a woman is. But to be fair, there are republicans (little r) that voted to confirm it. Since it doesn’t know what “it” is. This Broadway Production Called A Little Retarded Girl Up On Stage. <satire> Under the biden crime regime with the support of demoncrats and their loyal mouthpieces in the media, voters and the deep state they have denigrated anyone objecting to the crime that they have imported across our borders for the last five years. Names of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray have tragically made it clear that the biden junta values illegal invaders far more than peaceful law-abiding American citizens. Giving the illegal invaders the resources meant for American citizens from FEMA rather than it being used as it was intended, to help American citizens in time of crisis has more than driven that point home. The demoncrats under the power of corrupt prosecutors and judges have brought about a culture of danger for women. By going after Daniel Penny, a good man bravely protecting the people trapped in a subway car with a raging lunatic with something like 42 charges against him, and a record of violent assault on women the demoncrats and their voters have made it clear they care nothing for the safety of women. Part of the people in that car were people of color. The left cares nothing for people of color. Some of the people in that car were children, the left (and I mean voters, the media, the politicians) care nothing about children, so next time they start with that “oh you can’t deport…oh children in cages…they’re lying. They. Don’t. Care. But Alvin Bragg did send a clear message with the persecution of Daniel Penny. So when on Sunday, December 22nd one of the demoncrat’s illegal invaders lit a sleeping woman on fire in a subway car, fanned the flames no one intervened. At all. Not even the police. He had been previously deported under President Trump, but came back in under the demoncrats. Demoncrats all the way down, biden, harris, mayorkas and hochul and adams. All enable and embrace illegal invaders. But in Kathy Hochul’s world, or as I’ve heard a radio show host call her, Bucky Beaver, all is right with the world and the subways are perfectly safe. Tone Deaf NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Grotesque Timing: Praises “Safety” of Subway on Same Day Guatemalan Migrant Allegedly Sets Sleeping Woman on Fire. Demoncrats don’t care about safety of anyone, only the appearance of safety. The truth is an after thought with them. They have let millions of illegal invaders in, not caring what it does to our country, our citizens, our culture, only the craven attempt to get more bodies voting to hang on to power.

The results of “defund the police” have predictably, well, at least we predicted it, resulted in scrapping the bottom of the barrel for police candidates. Remember when people used to own their own homes? Well, when you have crappy judges and crappy cops that’s not how it plays out so much any more. A Georgia Homeowner Tried to Move Back Into Her Home Inhabited by a Squatter.

The ordeal began in August when Hale reported the squatter to police. Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge Latrevia Lates-Johnson ruled that “Sakemeyia Johnson is not a squatter” because she is related to a previously evicted tenant’s partner.

“How can she not be squatting when I’ve never had any type of contract relationship with this person?” Hale reportedly said.

….

Johnson told police that Hale arrived “out of nowhere” and showed up with a guy, adding that “he forced himself in telling us to get out.”

In the camera footage from Dec. 9, a deputy can reportedly be heard telling Hale to see the situation from the illegal squatter’s perspective.

“Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn’t as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen,” the deputy said to Hale.

And, in the incident report, the responding deputy reportedly wrote that Hale “executed an illegal eviction and forcibly removed Ms. Johnson’s belongings.”

Where is our country?

But it’s not just our country that has been permeated with evil. I’m sure everyone heard about another attack on another Christmas market from another member of the religion of pieces.

This one has left 200 injured and 5 dead, including a toddler, following Friday’s attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. The perpetrator is a 50 year old doctor of psychiatrist and psychotherapy from Saudi Arabia. Germany foolishly took him in on a permanent residence permit in 2006. Even more foolishly they ignored the extradition requests of Saudi Arabia for the totally assimilated muslim doctor due to “human rights concerns”.

Translation by

@AD_GQ

: “Reports suggest that the perpetrator of the Germany attack is a well-known fugitive traitor named Talib Al-Abdulmohsen. He fled from Saudi Arabia, where he is a wanted individual, and was granted asylum and citizenship by Germany, which refused to extradite him to Riyadh under the pretext of human rights and freedom of expression. He repaid this favor today by committing a massacre. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Europe is destroying itself from within.)

In addition to that, Saudi Arabia had warned Germany he was dangerous. More than once actually. Three times, in addition to people that knew him warned the government he was dangerous and wanted to kill. I believe it was the German Interior minister that Der Speigel was quoting:

Der Spiegel is claiming that the man no longer identifies as an Islamist, writing that “He appears on the Internet as an ex-Muslim and opponent of Islam. The background to the incident is still completely unclear – as is the possible motive.”

The outlet claims that the man “had been threatened with death for turning away from Islam.”

The report also claims that “SPIEGEL research has shown that Taleb A. openly sympathized with the AfD online.”

The AfD is the right wing populist party in Germany that is gaining massive support owing to its anti-immigration/pro deportation stance.

Which of course is why it totally makes sense that he went after a bunch of Christians at a Christmas market and not people at a mollusk.

The terrorists tweet

BTW kids, this is what “globalize the intifada” looks like.

Professor Gad Saad is understandably worried about a resulting rise in Islamaphobia. Professor Saad is a Lebanese Jew who escaped.

But Professor Saad isn’t alone. How does the left wing propaganda media cover things like this? Europe’s far right seizes on Magdeburg attack to hammer migration, Islam

Remember, first they kill the Saturday people (the Jews) then they come for the Sunday people (the Christians).

But the German authorities had a good hand on things.

The horror crash comes less than a month after Germany’s interior minister Nancy Faeser said that while there were no concrete indications of a danger to Christmas markets this year, it was wise to be vigilant.

And while the German police didn’t have the area of the Christmas market safely cordoned off, they did take strong measures to ensure the safety (of the terrorist, the German Christians, not so much), they took strong measures. They confiscated a Swiss Army knife from an elderly German lady.

But Germany is far from the only country having problems. I’ll admit to a bit of amusement at this next one. Ireland has been making such horrible antisemitic statements about Israel that Israel recalled their ambassador to Ireland. Pro-Gaza Protestors in Europe Continue Attacks on Christianity- Storm Irish Church During Mass

Just days after the attack in Germany, pro-Hamas terrorists stormed St. Mary’s Church in Dublin, Ireland, to disrupt mass.

My helpful suggestion for Ireland is, there’s tons of Falestinians floating around available for adoption just in time for Christmas. Take in little Ackmed, at 22 years old he’ll be a great help around the house and comes with his own AK-47 and knows how to make bombs AND IEDs! He can’t really read or write well, has a woeful grasp of geography but hey, he hates Jews just like you do, he’ll fit right in.

How is the culture of the formerly Great Britain holding up? Abortion clinic payout woman shocked at prayer arrest, yep being in the vicinity of an abortion clinic and praying silently is a crime. Well, kind of, I’m sure her life was awful after being arrested but the British police did have to shell out some money over that. And to keep everyone “safe” the Brit’s have a policy of “Think before you post”: The U.K. is now jailing people for social media comments

Western civilization appears to be on the cusp of a new Dark Age — for any government that arrests and locks up its own citizens for saying, writing, or thinking the “wrong” opinions or beliefs can no longer say it stands for freedom or human rights.

Abortion clinic ‘buffer zones’ turn the UK into a censor’s paradise

Even silent prayer can land protesters in jail under a new law.

In Britain, free speech is all but dead. Police in the country that introduced John Milton, the author of the most renowned defense of civil liberties, are now arresting people for their private thoughts.

And the British police take their safety seriously! Immigration Riots: One in Six Arrested Were Children, Data Reveals.

An investigation utilizing data from 32 police forces identified 1,233 arrests, 219 involving individuals under 18. Thirteen police forces did not provide figures. Public order offenses were the predominant reason for arrests, accounting for over 700 cases of unrest-related detentions. Other charges included 69 for assault, 45 for theft and burglary, 38 for possession of weapons, 32 related to drugs, and 19 for so-called malicious communications, such as sharing “grossly offensive” social media posts.

But to be fair to the Brits, the biden crime junta does this as well. Flurry of pro-life arrests spurs charges Biden administration is trying to ‘intimidate’ Christians

Moshe Phillips did a Hanukkah article, I’ll share a bit. Hanukkah: The reason for the season

The Jewish holidays—every one of them—is inextricably bound to the Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Hanukkah is no different.

Ancient Jewish wisdom identifies multiple ways that the Rabbis of the times of the Mishnah did just this.

One way was the name of the holiday as the word Hanukkah means dedication / rededication for it was the Maccabees that liberated the Holy Temple, cleaned it so it could again be used for holy service, and restarted the sacrifices that had been halted.

Another was the choice the ancient rabbis made in selecting the Haftarah for Shabbat Hanukkah. It is a reading from the Prophet Zechariah and there the Prophet insists that the Beit HaMikdash (the Holy Temple) will be physically rebuilt in Jerusalem.

….

That is why the Amidah is concluded thusly every time we recite it: “May it be Your will, L-rd our G‑d and G‑d of our ancestors, that the Beit HaMikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.”

One way to bring the authentic spirit of Hanukkah into the year is to concentrate on the above line every time one recites the Amidah.

There’s an additional way to make sure that Hanukkah is rescued from those who would subvert its true background and remake it into some kind of universal holiday that even a secularist can embrace. And that is to push back strongly against any and all attempts to seize any part of Jerusalem from the State of Israel and put it under any else’s control. And that especially includes the Temple Mount.

As Israel’s greatest national poet Uri Zvi Greenberg [1896-1981] wrote: “Whomever controls the Temple Mount controls all of the Land of Israel.”

When we recall the stories of the Maccabees in and their re-inauguration of the Beit HaMikdash all of this takes place in what anti-Israel extremists, and their enablers, deliberately call “East Jerusalem.”

“East Jerusalem” does not actually exist and what they are really saying is that Jerusalem’s Old City and its surrounding neighborhoods, the Western Wall, and the Temple Mount are not part of Israel or part of Israeli Jerusalem.

The original and oldest parts of Jerusalem, where Hanukkah story took place, are what they falsely label “East Jerusalem” and this is the Jerusalem that the Maccabees fought for and not the “New City” which lies outside those walls.

Believe it or not, that is not the whole article, but the whole article is good.

I feel to an extent, with the elections Americans are taking that first step, like Hannah saying “No I don’t want to submit”, like Matityahu say “Oh heck NO! You are not making an unclean sacrifice in my name”. We are staring into the abyss of losing our entire culture and way of life to the evil of the left and their agents. And we don’t want that. Is President Trump Yehuda? No, I’m not even saying that. But brave men, the Maccabee among others and brave women, Hannah and Yehudit among others, have shown us if our religion, if our way of life matters to us, to U.S. enough we must take steps to ensure it’s continuation for future generations. Basically, I think Europistan or I’ve heard it called Eurabia and formerly Great Britain are gone. I think they have so many there now they can’t come back, the invaders and the left, government, voters and media are a toxic brew. Because if the government takes any steps they don’t like the “refugees” seem to have no problem rioting, murdering and burning the country to the ground. While the left and the media will cover for them and provide excuses, it never brings anything back, does it?

America needs a Hanukkah, we need a re-dedication to our founding principles and morals. We need to return our focus to our Judeo-Christian origins. We need to be the light that brings knowledge of G-d into the world.

May your and yours have a most blessed holiday season, be it Hanukkah or Christmas on through the the coming year.

Because I can never see this enough.

Best Hanukkiah ever.

And to settle another eternal question…It’s a Hanukkah movie

Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie

A Time for Choosing

3 Comments

I watch with shock, horror, trepidation, and anger at how fast my beloved country is becoming 1930s Germany. For those that wondered how they would have been, how they would have acted, how they would have chosen, what their character would have been? Yeah, well, I think we’re going to be finding out.
Harassment of Jews, with pending property damage? Check.

The sad irony of the October 7th massacre is that the denizens of Gaza attacked probably the most liberal part of Israel. They killed and raped the people who felt the most compassion for them, who marched for them, who hired them, who drove them to hospitals in Israel.
For example, this is Vivian Silver.

The late Vivian Silver
HY”D

The body of Canadian-Israeli Vivian Silver, one of the victims of the October 7th massacre was found.

Vivian (74) was an Israeli peace activist and leader of Women Waging Peace.

She spent years driving Gazans in need of medical care to Israeli hospitals.

They showed up on October 7th and thanked her their way – massacre!

Kfar Aza and Be’eri were made up of secular leftist peacenik types. They truly believed they could be friends and co-exist with the denizens of Gaza. So when it came time for the attack here’s how that works out in real life. The nice Gazans they had employed and paid good wages, that they had eaten meals with in their homes repaid their kindness in typical faux falestinian fashion. They had scoped out the Kibbutzim very well. They knew where the men lived, they knew who if any had guns and often where they were kept. They knew how many women and children, where they usually were, who had safe rooms and where. They then passed this intelligence onto the hamanazis.

Like the Jews of Germany that thought they were living peacefully with their neighbors for years, like the Jews living peacefully in 1929 Hevron with their Arab neighbors for years. Until one day they weren’t. Their peaceful neighbors turned into a deranged mob intent on torturing and killing one and all.

This man is a Muslim Arab Israeli who works for ZAKA, what he has to say is worth hearing.

A friend of mine told me there were a couple of religious observant Kibbutzim in the area. They lock their gates on Friday night at the start of Shabbat. They were spared, it seems the terrorists didn’t want to mess with fighting to get into some place when it was easier to go to those they knew would be lax. I’m not casting aspersions, I’m just marveling at small miracles any were spared.
And one of the questions many of us have struggled with is how could this happen?? How could Israel be so caught off guard. Well, short answer is it wasn’t, exactly. You know all those leftists in charge of our military? The ones doing drag queen story hour, and saying they would call China if our former President had been preparing to take action against them? Well, Israel has those kind as well. Caroline Glick is usually very solid. This has some of the answers, but its very painful and a bit of a warning to us as Obiden’s illegal invaders continue to stream across our border.

I’ve gotten the following information from more than one source, and it seems to line up pretty consistently.

Some of the horrors Israeli hostages experienced at the hands of Hamas in Gaza:

*Executed in captivity.

*Denied medical treatment.

*Starvation.

*Women kept in cages.

*Some forced to eat toilet paper.

*Sleep deprivation.

*Forced to watch Oct 7 atrocities.

*Separation from families.

*Children branded with exhaust pipes in case of escape.

*Beatings.

*Deprived of daylight.

*Solitary confinement.

*Elderly women forced to sleep on plastic chairs.

*Children forced to whisper, not allowed to cry.

*Denied basic hygiene.

*Confined to cramped spaces.

*No idea if their families survived.

*Forced to participate in degrading propaganda videos.

*Not a single visit from the Red Cross.

NEVER donate money to the Red Cross. Not only do they have a horrid history going back to WWII, while they certify the hamanazi ambulance service Red Crescent which is used to transport and hide terrorists, they refuse to certify Israel’s Magan David Adom ambulance service. In addition to which in this case the Red Cross did not demand of the hamanazis to be allowed to visit the hostages, and when asked by the family of an elderly hostage to take her medicine (which they had brought with them) to her in captivity, they refused. Yep, the Red Cross refused to take provided medication to an elderly hostage. NEVER give money to the Red Cross.

And this is just what we know about!Prof. Itai Pesach, head of children’s hospital at Sheba, said “When the children will start telling their stories, none of us will be able to sleep at night”.

Eitan was a Hamas hostage. He is 12 years old.

Eitan was brutally beaten on the day he was kidnapped by crowds of “innocent” civilians as he was brought from Israel into Gaza.

He was bullied by Palestinian boys under the instructions of a male teacher.

In captivity, he was forced to watch horrific videos of the massacre and torture of people he knew by the terrorists from October 7th.

He also said that the terrorists threatened them with weapons when the kidnapped Israeli children were crying.

When the Hamanazis said they didn’t know where all the hostages were they may have been telling the truth. Because the “innocent denizens of Gaza” were very actively involved in the kidnapping, torture and murder of the kidnapped Israelis. They also were holding some of them in private homes. Including a UNRWA teacher who held a captive in his attic for around 50 days basically starving the captive. Another Israeli was held captive by a Falestinian “doctor”. Yeah he is suppose to be a real doctor but apparently the Hippocratic oath hasn’t been translated into Falestinian.

This is the truth about Hamas, this is the high moral imperative of the Palestinian majority.

To torment and kill Israelis and Jews. This opinion poll was done around October 7th.

A Falestinian opinion poll

Be sure that Arab leaders are not as enthusiastic about a Palestinian state solution as the US administration does. Why? They have their past to lean on –

In the early 1950s, the Palestinian leadership collaborated with the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorizing Egypt, their host country.

In the mid-1960s, the Palestinian leadership terrorized Syria, their host country.

In 1968-70, the Palestinian leadership triggered a civil war in Jordan, attempting to topple their host Hashemite regime.

In 1970-82, the Palestinian leadership instigated a series of civil wars in Lebanon, aiming to take over their host country.

In 1990, the Palestinian leadership collaborated with Saddam Hussein’s invasion and plunder of Kuwait, which was for decades the most generous Arab host of 400,000 Palestinians.

From 1939, about nine years before the declaration by Israel of statehood,

Nobody wants these flotsom of human kind including other Arab nations which share a language and religion with them. This is Saudi author and media personality Rawaf al-Saeen. It has English subtitles and is pretty enlightening coming from the Arabic side.

Also weighing in for “news sources” that use the information given to them by the falestinian health ministry, is Amjad Taha, Arabic journalist, a real one. As opposed to cnn, msnbc and NYT. You see the falestinian health ministry is hamass. It’s run by hamass and is hamass. If they’re willing to behead babies, they’re willing to lie to a gullible western media and populace about how many are dead and how they got that way.

Taha

And some of the Western Media is very very stupid. Kudos to Elyon Levy.

Knesset member Avigdor Lieberman: There are no innocents in Gaza, he’s not exactly a religiously observant Jew.

There are no innocents in Gaza.

For years, good people with good intentions and it’s safe to say naive, believed in and promoted the idea of peace between us and the Palestinians. People who believed with all their hearts in the idea of two states and thought that normal people who dream the same dream live in Gaza.

A dream that shattered into pieces on October 7, 2023.

After recovering from the initial shock of the terrible massacre and with the revelation of the evidence of the atrocities committed by the Nazi terrorists, there is no shadow of a doubt that those who took part in the attack on the Gaza Strip, provided the intelligence on the homes of the residents and led the mob in the second wave of looting and destruction, were Gazans who worked in the settlements they invaded. They made a living and ate in the homes of the massacred residents, those residents who helped them and their families when they were sick and took care of transporting them from Gaza to Israel for life-saving treatments in hospitals in Israel.

The late Vivian Silver, from Kibbutz Be’eri, was one of those people who worked for peace and for the people of Gaza. She established aid programs for Gazans, made sure the workers were paid fair wages, transported the sick to hospital treatment and a few days before the massacre organized a peace rally in Jerusalem where Israeli women marched alongside women. On the Black Saturday, she was murdered with terrible cruelty by the very people she had worked for over the years, and none of the residents of Gaza condemned the murder or expressed shock.

Some will say that the residents of Gaza are afraid of Hamas and that is why we have not heard any condemnation from them, but the scenes we are witnessing in the last few days every evening when our abductees are transferred to the Red Cross and the testimonies of those who have returned from captivity, leave no room for doubt.

Hamas receives overwhelming support in Gaza.

The enraged crowd that insults and spits on the abductees, our small children who say they were beaten by Gazans of all ages and the demonstrations of joy and support for terrorists throughout Gaza, testify to the cruelty of the population that educates its children to hate the State of Israel and trains a new generation of terrorists and supporters of terrorism whose goal is the destruction of the State of Israel for all its citizens.

Gaza is a wasp’s nest of terrorists.

There is complete synchronization between Hamas and “innocent” citizens and the story of Roni Kariboy, who was kidnapped from the music festival by the bad guys, illustrates this. Roni managed to escape from captivity and hide for a few days, until Gazans caught him and returned him to his captors.

This is probably the reason why the terrorists marked the legs of the kidnapped children with the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle in order to make it easy to identify them in case they escape.

Another evidence of the full cooperation of the population can be found in the corridors of Shifa Hospital, where the hospital director and other senior doctors helped the terrorists hide hostages and turned the hospital into a haven for terrorists. But it’s not only in hospitals that you find collaborators, also in private homes of UNRWA medical professionals and teachers where hostages were held in terrible conditions.

These things are also reflected in social networks, in the Arab world and in Gaza. 99.9% of all publications are words of praise and wall-to-wall support for Hamas and the horrible acts of October 7th.

Now someone show me where innocent people who are not involved in terrorism are hiding in the Gaza Strip.

Why I am not moved emotionally by Gazan deaths

Stop worrying about Gazan civilians

Might there be guidance from the Torah about how such things should be handled? Why, yes indeed. In last weeks Parsha as a matter of fact!

Fifth Reading 34:1 Dinah was the daughter of Leah, whom Leah had borne to Jacob.46 Dinah was Leah’s daughter not only in the biological sense but also in the moral sense: she inherited her mother’s willingness to venture out of the safety of her tent47 for holy and righteous purposes. Confident in her ability to positively influence others—even though she was no more than a girl of ten at the time—she went out to observe the girls of that region in order to convince them to adopt the righteous ways of her family.

2 But Shechem, son of Chamor the Hivite, who was the chief of the region, saw her, took her, raped her, and abused her carnally in other ways, as well.

3 Despite himself, he was strongly drawn to Jacob’s daughter Dinah; he loved the girl, and spoke to the girl in a way he hoped would win over her heart, saying, “Look how many ornate coins your father expended just to purchase a small parcel of land.49 If you marry me, the whole city and its environs will effortlessly and automatically belong to you.”

4 Shechem spoke to his father, Chamor, as follows: “Get me this young girl as a wife.”

5 Now Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah. His sons were in the field with his livestock, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

6 Meanwhile, Shechem’s father, Chamor, went out to Jacob to speak with him.

7 Jacob’s sons returned from the field when they heard what Shechem had done to Dinah. The men, her brothers, became aggrieved and were deeply incensed, for Shechem had committed an outrage to their father Israel by raping their sister, Jacob’s daughter. Such a thing was considered socially and legally taboo ever since humanity had collectively foresworn illicit carnal relations in the wake of the Flood50 and made such acts a capital offense. Thus, Shechem’s act made him liable to the death penalty. The other residents of the city were implicated in his offense as well, for not having voiced their protest.51

8 Chamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem deeply desires your daughter. I implore you, give her to him in marriage

9 and intermarry with us: give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves. These marriages between our two peoples shall take place at your sole discretion: you may decide to which of our men you will give your daughters, as well as which of our daughters you will take for your men.

10 You shall live among us, and the land will be open before you; you may settle it, trade in it, and acquire holdings in it.”

11 Then Shechem said to her father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you tell me to give as a dowry, I will give.

12 Go ahead, demand of me an exceedingly high figure for the dowry you will stipulate in the bridal contract, and for gifts, and I will give as much as you tell me; just give me this girl as a wife!”

13 When Jacob’s sons replied to Shechem and his father, Chamor, they spoke cunningly, for he had defiled their sister Dinah.

14 They told them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to an uncircumcised man, for that would be considered a disgrace to us. In fact, when one of our people wishes to insult someone, he calls him ‘uncircumcised’ or ‘the son of an uncircumcised father.’

15 Therefore, will we give our assent only on this condition: that you be like us in that every male among you be circumcised.

16 We will then intermarry with you as you have proposed, i.e., at our sole discretion: We will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live together with you and become a single nation.

17 But if you do not heed us and circumcise yourselves, we will take our daughter and depart.”

18 Their terms were acceptable to Chamor and to Shechem, Chamor’s son.

19 The young man did not delay in carrying out this thing, since he desired Jacob’s daughter, and he was the most respected person in his father’s household.

20 Chamor then came with his son Shechem to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of their city as follows:

21 “These men are fully at peace with us. Let them live in the land and trade in it, for the land has ample room for them. Supply in our land exceeds demand, so letting them live here and trade in the land will not adversely affect our economy.” When Chamor and Shechem had proposed intermarriage between the two peoples to Jacob and his sons, they phrased their proposal to Jacob’s family’s advantage, allowing them to select Hivite men for their daughters and take whatever Hivite girls they wished for wives. In contrast, when they now set the proposal of intermarriage before their compatriots, they altered the wording to their compatriot’s advantage in order to induce them to consent to be circumcised: “We will take their daughters as wives, and we will give our daughters to them, both at our discretion.

22 But only on this condition will these men consent to live with us and become one nation: that every male among us be circumcised, just as they are circumcised.

23 After all, when they will dwell among us, their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals will become ours. Let us just agree to their condition and they will live among us.”

24 All the people who came out to the gate of Chamor’s city heeded Chamor and his son Shechem, and all the males who passed through the gate of his city had themselves circumcised.

25 On the third day after their circumcision, when the Hivites were in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, each took up his sword. They acted as Dinah’s loyal brothers, risking their lives for her sake, but without first consulting their father. They fell upon the city, confident in their ability to overcome the men—firstly, because of the Hivites’ weakness and pain due to the circumcision, and secondly, in the merit of their father Jacob—and killed every male.

26 They also killed Chamor and his son Shechem by the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left. When they went to rescue Dinah, they found her agonizing in embarrassment over what had been done to her and afraid that, consequentially, no one would want to marry her; Simeon therefore promised that he would marry her, and it was only on this condition that she consented to be rescued.52

When the two brothers attacked the city of Shechem, Jacob took up his sword and bow and stood at the entrance to the city in readiness to protect his sons if any of its allies would come to side with its inhabitants.53

27 Jacob’s sons came to strip the slain of their possessions, and they plundered the city that had defiled their sister.

28 They took the Hivites’ flocks, cattle, donkeys, and whatever else was in the city and the field.

29 They seized all their money and captured all their children and womenfolk, and plundered everything in the houses.

A couple of thoughts, Dinah was TEN, TEN years old when Shechem raped her. I was attempting to explain why the actions of Simeon and Levi were responsible and reasonable. The whole town did nothing to stop the depraved Shechem from brutalizing the child, and after he did so they did nothing to confront him. So will the town continue to behave in such a manner? Yes. Of course.

I thought Lenny Goldberg had a great (if short) show on this very topic this week.

Part of the problem is people look at this situation and actions through the mind set of the mid-west. The middle East is not the mid-west.

Some of the terrorists Israel has released are again calling for the murder of innocent Israeli civilians. Already.

And the hamanazis are saying they intend to repeat October 7th.

Hamas official says group aims to repeat Oct. 7 onslaught many times to destroy Israel

And this is the next generation of “innocent Gazans”

We were warned.

Understand this, our country has become so depraved that when those in charge of 3 major schools of higher learning refused to say that calling for the murder of Jews is a violation of their school’s policies you know where we’re at. The best they could manage was if the terrorists actions crossed over from calling for genocide into actually committing genocide then that might maybe be a violation of their schools policies. Situation dependent you understand, of course.

There are many many people stacked against what used to be normalcy and decency. But there are some interesting solutions. I do love this short video.

This woman in Israel is known for cheerleading and supporting Hamas. She got the shock of her life when the Israeli police informed her in person that she would be relocated to Gaza—the ultimate fan experience, right at the heart of the action, the headquarters of Hamas! Israeli Arabs enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world, even higher than other Arabic countries usually. But this woman just loves and supports the Hamanazis, and hasn’t been shy about telling everyone. So, Israel is shipping her to Gaza!! What a fabulous idea!! Look at her excitement and the look of pure joy on her face!! They’ve made her dream come true. I’d like to suggest we begin to do the same to some college students and the presidents of Harvaaaaard, MIT and Penn. I’m sure they’d love it!! T

Hanukkah starts tonight. It’s different from some of the other wars, most of them have been like what the current demoncrat party is waging. A fight against a mob and death. <humor alert>

Jewish Family Celebrates Hanukkah 2023 In Neighbor’s Attic

Hanukkah in contrast, the Greeks didn’t care if the people lived, but they wanted to kill the religion and practice of Judaism. Sort of like the Obiden White House.

Jews Advised To Protect Themselves From Violence By Not Being Jewish

“It’s a simple solution,” said historic White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is gay and black. “We have seen a sharp rise in antisemitic behavior, so our best advice to Jewish people in fear for their lives is to stop doing Jewy things and consider not being Jewish altogether.”

If you’re like me, you wonder why? Why is this happening. I really liked the explanation in this short video. It is apparent, the time is upon us, the time for choosing. What kind of people will we be? What kind of people are we? What will we contribute to society, our country and our world?Will we seek out and find why G-d wants us here at this time in this place? All questions for each of us to answer.

And with that, I will wish you all a very safe, joyous and meaningful Hanukkah!

Hannukah Times

4 Comments

We are living in Hannukah times. Today in school rather than learning actual American history, children are taught the 1619 nonsense, or anything bad about America, whether true or not that the woke teacher decides to shove down their gullets. Merrick Garland’s son-in-law makes his money selling critical race theory books to schools. I guess this would explain why parents who don’t want their children being taught they will never succeed in life because of their skin color are labeled terrorists. Math? Nope that’s too hard for blacks and Hispanics so standards are lowered so it will make rotten teachers look acceptable. Science? Trust the science? HAHAHAHAHAHA, no one is ever believing that old canard again or probably trusting much in the way of the medical industrial complex or the pharmaceutical industry again either. Nor should they. One commercial on TV is for a pill, five minutes later it’s for a lawyer advertising to represent you if you’ve been harmed by it. “Safe and Effective” is destined to be a punch line on late night TV if there are ever comedy shows on it again some day. I’m guessing patriotism in school these days is as dead as the trust level in the federal government after the #TwitterFiles stories have come out. Not to mention the CIA involvement in the JFK assassination. Our bodies and our children’s bodies no longer belong to us or the parents, according to the government of some countries. With the vaxx or be fired, vaxx or no organ transplant it’s been made clear we’ve been sold out to the medical industrial complex. And tragically in addition to the corrupt FDA and CDC pushing the death dart on innocent people including children it was clear that those agencies have been corrupted and captured beyond repair. Or belief. The only people that believe them are getting their 7th booster and still wearing 3 masks. And now the blood supply. Twice recently parents very reasonably asked for their infants to be given safe unvaxxed blood during surgery. Both parents lined up safe, unvaxxed compatible blood donations for their infants. In New Zealand; New Zealand government tries to seize guardianship of baby after parents demand unvaccinated blood for surgery they did seize the baby and did the surgery. Despite the parents having 20 donors lined up, the hospital refused to use them. They haven’t told the parents if they used contaminated blood or clean but so far the baby is still alive. In America it didn’t turn out so well for the baby. HOSPITAL HOMICIDE: Newborn baby DIES from “huge blood clots” following pre-surgery transfusion of covid vaccine-tainted blood This one the parents also had clean blood that had been donated for the baby, following all the hospital rules. They hospital “couldn’t find it”, so they gave the baby contaminated blood. And then proceed to delete records. Some stories I’ve seen said they’ve upped the ante saying they didn’t treat him.

Baby Alex was born with a 95 percent survivable congenital heart defect as well as anemia, which required a blood transfusion. Since a close friend of the family had previously died after getting injected for the Fauci Flu, Alex’s parents specifically asked for clean blood to go into his body.

A member of the family’s church who is both unvaccinated and a blood type match donated the blood to Sacred Heart, which agreed to use it in the transfusion. However, when it came time to do the procedure, the hospital claims it “lost” the pure blood sample, after which staff members proceeded to give Baby Alex blood from the general pool.

The baby developed a blood clot which didn’t respond to anti-coagulant therapy. If you’ve seen some of those blood clots they fish out of people that’s kind of understandable. They aren’t really blood. Unvaccinated Blood Is Now in Very High Demand

A growing number of people in need of blood transfusions are requesting blood that comes from people who haven’t received COVID-19 shots

Pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole compared the current unknowns regarding “vaccinated blood” with HIV-tainted blood that was used for transfusions in the 1980s

Directed donations and autologous donations, or self-donation, are options for receiving blood free of mRNA, but in both cases you’ll need your doctor to submit a Red Cross Special Collections Order form

A “Safe Blood” donation campaign has also been formed to match blood donors and recipients who have not had COVID-19 shots

It’s unknown whether blood donated by people who’ve received mRNA COVID-19 shots poses a risk to those who receive it. A growing number of people aren’t willing to take any chances, however, and are requesting blood that comes from unvaccinated patients.

In the leftist media and schools they’re doing their best to confuse children as to their gender, and in kindergarden and grade schools children are being sexually groomed. Guess that explains why a bunch of kids can’t read now. Which got time to learn about reading when there’s a drag queen in class to hand out brownies and teach the tiny tots about butt plugs?

If they can rip every shred of certainty out of the kids, they will be so much easier to manipulate because they have nothing to hold on to as true, as certain, as real. They will become as easy to manipulate as your average college student.

In the leftist world

So how does this hot mess stack up against Hannukah times? Well, in 174 BCE (3586), Antiochus IV ruled the region. He wanted to be called Epiphanes, meaning “the gods’ beloved”. We called him Epimanes “madman”, He was harsh, cruel corrupt and did nothing for the land of Israel or the people there. Ok, lining up so far as leadership I’d say. Israel was ruled by the Syrian-Greek style which meant Judaism was pretty much outlawed. What weren’t we allowed to observe? Jewish worship was forbidden, and the scrolls of the Law were confiscated and burned. Sabbath rest, circumcision and the dietary laws were prohibited under penalty of death. Many brave Jews refused, preferring death. Meanwhile the Hellenized (assimilated) Jews were peachy fine with all this and were on board with getting rid of such outdated “customs”. Obviously they must not have considered the word of G-d to be taken seriously, right? So parents had no control over how their children were raised. No Jewish education, no circumcision, no word on tattoos or gender reassignment that I could find. This gave rise to the attempt to secretly teach some of Judaism and Torah using the Dreidel or Sevivon. What about control over our own bodies. Yeah, not always so much. Part of the start of the Maccabean war was sparked by Hannah, the sister of the brothers. Seems the custom of the time was when a woman (or young girl) married, she had to spend her wedding night with a Greek governor, because they couldn’t get women to sleep with them any other way I guess. Actually this last link talks about each of the five brothers. Only Judah was Maccabee.

The law at the time required every Jewish woman to spend her first night as a married woman with the Greek governor. This decree went on for a while, causing many women to either not marry or to endure this horrible violation. On Chanah’s wedding night, she spiritedly persuaded her brothers to stand up for justice and to rid themselves of the depraved governor.38

The Maccabees resolved to take on the Greeks, stormed the governor’s palace, killed him and wreaked havoc in his camp. This incident served as another spark that catapulted the already unsteady military situation into a full-on war

Yep, bodies not our own and the Greek version of various and sundry politicians and denizens of Hollyweird.

No worship or Shabbat? Hello Covid lock-downs.

Yeah, I’d say we’re there. I could come up with plenty more ways but I want to touch on a couple of other things.

Judah. Maccabee, the meaning has a few possibilities. Either Hammer, for his ferocity in battle or his preferred weapon. Or as an acronym for Mi kamokha ba’elim Adonai, “Who among the gods is like you, O Adonai?” Which was the battle cry. The family was called Hasmonean. The link above gives each of the other sons surnames, even though they all became know as the Maccabees.

This kerfluffle started when the army of Antiochus IV came to Modi’in to try to force the group there to sacrifice to an idol. Mattias the priest would not betray G-d. He said “Not only NO, but HELLenized NO”! A Hellenized (assimilated ADL type Jew) stepped forward and said “Ah, it’s no big deal, I’ll do it”. Then Mattias said “The HELLenized you say!! Over your dead body!” And he killed him. I love a happy ending. The family realized the ATF and the IRS Seleucid army was fixin to descend on them and they took to the hills. Those lads knew how to fight a guerrilla war, until enough had joined them to fight battles head on.

Which brings me to another one of my what seems to have become Hannukah traditions. Posting Judah Maccabee’s speech.

1 Maccabees Chapter 3

10 Then Apollonius* gathered together the Gentiles, along with a large army from Samaria, to fight against Israel.

11 When Judas learned of it, he went out to meet him and struck and killed him. Many fell wounded, and the rest fled.

12 They took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius and fought with it the rest of his life.

13 But Seron, commander of the Syrian army, heard that Judas had mustered an assembly of faithful men ready for war.

14 So he said, “I will make a name for myself and win honor in the kingdom. I will wage war against Judas and his followers, who have despised the king’s command.”

15 And again a large company of renegades advanced with him to help him take revenge on the Israelites.

16 When he reached the ascent of Beth-horon,* Judas went out to meet him with a few men.

17 But when they saw the army coming against them, they said to Judas: “How can we, few as we are, fight such a strong host as this? Besides, we are weak since we have not eaten today.”

18 But Judas said: “Many are easily hemmed in by a few; in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between deliverance by many or by few;

19 for victory in war does not depend upon the size of the army, but on strength that comes from Heaven.

20 With great presumption and lawlessness they come against us to destroy us and our wives and children and to despoil us;

21 but we are fighting for our lives and our laws.

22 He* will crush them before us; so do not fear them.”

23 When he finished speaking, he rushed suddenly upon Seron and his army, who were crushed before him.

24 He pursued Seron down the descent of Beth-horon into the plain. About eight hundred* of their men fell, and the rest fled to the land of the Philistines.

Hannukah refers to dedication, as in after the Hasmonean army captured The Temple, it was in shambles and profaned having had pigs sacrificed on the alter. They set about restoring and rededicating it. Which brings me to miracles, one of my favorite subjects.

There are several miracles actually. They found a small jar of oil, enough for one night. There is a tradition that is what Jacob went back across the river to fetch when he and his family left Laban’s fine company and hospitality. I find that miraculous. It was still in the Temple with the seal of the High Priest. That’s pretty miraculous too. Enough oil for 1 night lasted for 8 nights, the amount of time to make a new batch of kosher oil for the Menorah. That’s miraculous, 7 of them as there was enough for 1 night to start with. But there is still an 8th miracle in there. Rather than saying “Well nuts, lighting for one night isn’t going to do anything. We should hang on to this, we don’t want to light for just one night and then have to wait 7 more”. The miracle was even though it seemed pointless, even though it seemed like there was no purpose in doing it, they went ahead and could not bear to delay putting off the Mitzvah of lighting the Menorah. They couldn’t wait to begin to shed light to drive away the darkness. And that’s how I think I should be. While I may not be able to right situations, or fix everything, I must do what I can to kindle my flame and drive out the darkness I can. Even though sometimes it seems like that is beyond me, with his help, it’s not. It’s why I’m here. It’s why we all are here in the place, at this time. Apologies Esther. We aren’t called upon the change THE WORLD, we are called upon to change ourselves and the world around us, in whatever ways G-d puts to us. Look at the impact one man, Elon Musk is having. Is he a certified good guy? As far as free speech he is. The flow of information is going to have an impact I believe.

And lastly I will share a deep secret with you I learned today from my Rabbi; why do we eat all those fried foods at Hannukah? Sufganyiot and Latkes? Well, in contrast to the ideal of outward beauty held by the Greeks and Syrians, Judaism emphasizes truth and moral purity, as commanded by G‑d in the holy Torah. The Jewish people could never give up their faith in G‑d and accept the idol-worship of the Syrians. The Greeks were all about the body, naked exercise at the gym, worshiping the physical and the spiritual was ignored.

The Jews rebelled and said “NO WAY, are we going to be like that! Pass me the sour cream for my latke please and I’ll have the lemon sufganiyah!”

Dreidel Dog, Moshe the Mensch on a Bench and the Zebra from Zion. Brad’s Hannukiah in the background
Because I can never see this enough.

I’ve added the Zebra from Zion to my Moshe the Mensch on a bench and Dreidel dog this year. Yes, I think I’m done. The Hannukiah in the back ground was Brad’s. I treasure it every day, and bless Jo Ann for giving it to me but I especially treasure it this time of year. It is the most amazing Hannukiah I’ve ever seen.

It’s about spreading the light, no matter how little oil it feels like we have.

First night of Hannukah is tomorrow night.

Hanukkah 2021

6 Comments

Is a very strange time for me. I love Hanukkah, but this year I can easily see how the Hanukkah story could be re-done to fit the circumstances of today. Let me just say right off the bat that if someone wants the shot of experimental mRNA gene therapy, I think that is their decision. But by the same token, I vehemently object to it being forced into anyone that doesn’t want it. And that’s where this Hanukkah thought is headed.

We know that Hanukkah is the celebration of the re-dedication of the Temple after it had been defiled by the Greeks. The Greeks were a nation of culture and learning. They knew their beliefs and customs were superior to everyone else. The hysterical fits abound in those absolutely unhinged over the injection like the racist Joy(less) Reid, anyone on msnbc, cnn or most any of the major #FakeNews media really are a fine example of people who know they know more than anyone else. Their opinion is the only one that counts. Or else.

The Greeks didn’t necessarily want to kill off all the Jews, they wanted to kill off Judaism. We were forbidden to observe time related events such as Shabbat and new months, as well as commandments from G-d such as the study of Torah or circumcision. Those could cost you your life. Your thoughts and beliefs would be forced into compliance.

Today we have the purveyors of panic porn that do the same thing, their belief is the only belief, and anyone who attempts to attend religious services when the ATA* 1 says you can not will be punished. Anyone who attempts to hold to tried and true means of handling a medical event will be punished. Anyone who points out the virus is 99+% survivable with treatment, real treatment like the Zelenko protocol or Ivermectin will be punished. Anyone who points out anything contrary to the ATA approved narrative will be punished. The side of “love and tolerance” will brook no dissent. Hysteria, denouncement and de-platforming will ensue. Your thoughts and opinions will be forced into compliance.

I’ll try to put this as delicately as I can without being crass. One of the seminal events that may well have contributed to the Hasmonean rebellion was the marriage of their sister and jus primae noctis, “first night rights.” The governor would kidnap and assault every bride on her wedding night. The whole story can be read here. I urge you to, it is not that long and very worth while. A gist of it is the Greeks continued to make increasingly tyrannical demands of the Jews and their faith which we found ways of skirting and working around. Until it came to a point where the women were forced to accept the injection of a substance into their bodies they vehemently did not want. Then the Jews went to war.

Personally I absolutely see this as a religious issue. My DNA is the way G-d meant my DNA to be, he created me with a purpose, a plan and he equipped me with the things he knew I would need to accomplish it. If he wanted my DNA different, he could certainly have made it so. In short I’m saying the G-d of heaven and earth who created all most assuredly does not need any help from Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson or any other pharmaceutical company.

A more amusing comparison is Antiochus the IV, he liked the name Epiphanes, which meant “the gods’ beloved. We called him Epimanes which means “madman”. You know, like someone who would shut down his own country’s oil production and then beg foreign countries who hate us to produce more oil and then lie to the people. Like someone who would sell of his country’s assets to a country that hates them. Like someone who would demand that free citizens be forced to take an experimental injection in clear violation of the Nuremberg code. And it may well come to force as it is in the disarmed nation of Australia where the army is going into Aboriginal villages and physically throwing people to the ground and injecting them against their will. Like a madman who would say people can’t have their job, eat in a restaurant, ride public transportation, or attend events if they can’t prove they have had the injection. Yeah, a madman like that.

As I regard the list of appointees in the Xiden regime I have yet to find one that isn’t a communist, America hater, corrupt or unhinged. The censorship of medical opinions and open discussion has never before been seen like this. The denial of medical treatment to people is unprecedented. What? Next we tell people with a fractured leg to come back when the bone is poking through the skin? This refers to people that come in the ER with Covid and rather than being given the Ivermectin protocol or the Zelenko protocol are basically sent home and told to come back if they can’t breath. We’re suppose to be in the midst of a “pandemic” with a new “variant” on the way and Xiden/Epimanes is ordering frontline healthcare workers who have worked since the beginning fired? And something I find truly frightening is I am beginning to see the discrimination in treatment towards those that are un-injected. Because that I have seen before. That pattern I do recognize. 

And the plans for tyranny are just getting started. Green pass anyone? Papers please.

But this is Hanukkah of 2021, and I am seeing miracles. The OSHA mandate has been stopped and my crush (hope his wife doesn’t mind) the gallant Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, lead the charge with other states and stopped the insane decree that forced healthcare workers to be injected. And then in a blossom of goodness the royal decree was blocked nationwide.

What hubris! A madman indeed! Although he is far from the only madman running around.

But America is beginning to fight back, and I can’t think of a more auspicious time, well, maybe Independence Day. But I actually see more similarities with the conditions of the Hasmonean rebellion.

Do you wonder where Maccabee came from?

Perhaps the best known explanation is that the word “Maccabee” is composed of the initial letters of a verse the Jewish people sang after G‑d split the sea: “Mi kamocha ba’eilim Hashem (מי כמוך באילים י׳), “Who is like You among the mighty, O G‑d.”

It is said that this phrase was the battle cry of Maccabees, written upon their banners and shields.

I will leave you with the inspiring speech of Judah Maccabee as he and his little band faced a far bigger, more evil force of Seron at Beth-Horon.

Chapter 3 Book of Maccabees 1

14 So he said, “I will make a name for myself and win honor in the kingdom. I will wage war against Judah and his followers, who have despised the king’s command.”

15 And again a large company of renegades advanced with him to help him take revenge on the Israelites.

16 When he reached the ascent of Beth-horon,* Judah went out to meet him with a few men.

17 But when they saw the army coming against them, they said to Judah: “How can we, few as we are, fight such a strong host as this? Besides, we are weak since we have not eaten today.”

18 But Judah said: “Many are easily hemmed in by a few; in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between deliverance by many or by few;

19 for victory in war does not depend upon the size of the army, but on strength that comes from Heaven.

20 With great presumption and lawlessness they come against us to destroy us and our wives and children and to despoil us;

21 but we are fighting for our lives and our laws.

22 He* will crush them before us; so do not fear them.”

23 When he finished speaking, he rushed suddenly upon Seron and his army, who were crushed before him.

24 He pursued Seron down the descent of Beth-horon into the plain. About eight hundred* of their men fell, and the rest fled to the land of the Philistines.

25 Then Judah and his brothers began to be feared, and dread fell upon the Gentiles about them.

“Mi kamocha ba’eilim Hashem (מי כמוך באילים י׳), “Who is like You among the mighty, O G‑d.” Indeed.

Hanukkah 2020

Because I can never see this enough.

What.A.Year. Paging Judah Maccabee….

We’ve had several columns written about Hanukkah, possibly because I love the holiday. People of faith in both America and Israel have had threats to their ability to worship freely in both countries for as long as I’ve been doing columns.

http://zelmanpartisans.com/?s=Hanukkah

Chabad has a really good story of Hanukkah that gives more of the history leading up to the pivotal moment when Mattityahu killed the Hellenized Jew that was going to sacrifice a pig on the alter in his name. Then he went after the army that had come to enforce the decree. https://www.chabad.org/holidays/chanukah/article_cdo/aid/102978/jewish/The-Story-of-Chanukah.htm

While both Purim and Hanukkah celebrate the survival of the Jews against an enemy, there are differences. Purim, like the holocaust was an attempt to wipe the Jewish people from the face of the earth. The goal of the Syrians-Greeks was to make the Jewish people like everyone else on the face of the earth, meaning idol worshipers.

This year as we approach Hanukkah, I see my country in a place I could never have imagined growing up. I wonder if it was like that was for the Maccabees? Did they see the threat of the Greeks growing? Because initially when the Greeks gained control over Israel they were respectful. But as some of the Jews began to assimilate, the Greeks lost respect and began to treat them more cruelly. One might say, the mask came off.

As it is here.

I don’t think there is any doubt that there has been massive election fraud in the 2020 elections. And of those that would deny it, I would be curious to know how much they actually know about it. As the always brilliant Jack Englehardt writes in his column about censorship,

Turns out my neighbor up the road never heard about the Hunter/Joe Biden scandal that weeks ago was all the rage on the New York Post, and later Fox News.

That’s the one where Hunter allegedly served as bagman for himself and his dad off money scooped up from China, Ukraine and Russia.

“How come you didn’t know?” I asked this neighbor.

“Never heard of it,” he said proudly. “I don’t read the Post. I only read the Times, and I never watch Fox News.”

If he knew the story, would he still have voted for Biden?

“It would have been something to consider.”

Yes, it would…and I read somewhere that more than 60 percent who voted never heard of it, either

It seems people that lack information make really poor choices that  cause everyone else to suffer. And suffering there will be.

In addition to censorship, there is just flat out lying by the MSM. The Nick Sandman category of lying, brings us the latest story involving the Papa John’s Pizza chain and accusations of racism. Except it never happened. Ex-FBI director clears Papa John’s founder of racial bias, slams ‘clearly inaccurate’ media Hope he sues the AP into oblivion. If the media will lie about something like a pizza chain, how could anyone ever doubt the lengths they would go to in the quest to manipulate voters The media made this story up out of whole cloth!

It seems daily more and more information comes out about ballots unloaded in the middle of the night, pulled out from underneath tables, or Timmy found them in the well. Then there are the ballots that got ran through multiple times, President Trump losing votes on a cnn scoreboard refresh, tractor trailers with ballots disappearing. There has been quite a lot of evidence. Unless you are Brian Kemp urging the Chinese to come to GA. Governor Brian Kemp on Video in Front of Communist Flag Asking Chinse Companies to Invest in Georgia

What’s that Lassie?

No need Governor, they’ve already invested in you and the GA Secretary of State Raffensperger who shows a stunning lack of awareness by using Dominion’s President Trump hating Eric Croomer to say there is nothing wrong with their systems. Perfectly safe. Georgia Attorneys and Secretary of State Defend Dominion Voting Systems Instead of Voters In Their State. Never mind the 2016 video in which Croomer was saying ” possible to bypass election systems software during the vote counting process.” Actually there are two videos of Croomer demonstrating how to use Dominion to switch votes. Or like Stzrok and Page, Croomer had his power trip moment:

“Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f**king sure of that!” – Dr. Eric Coomer VP of US Engineering for US Dominion Voting Company

Isn’t it interesting that in 2016, when Kemp was Secretary of State, there was a Dominion problem.

Georgia Secretary of State Says 10 Cyberattacks Traced to DHS – Calls for Investigation. Yep, that’s right kids, in 2016 Obama’s DHS (the ones that said in this election there was no sign of fraud, right?) attacked the Dominion voting machines in GA. The IP addresses were traced back to the DHS. And yet, GA keep the Dominion machines. Boggles the mind, doesn’t it? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/12/georgia-secretary-state-says-10-cyberattacks-traced-dhs-calls-investigation/

Dominion had some help though, for example Mark Zuckerberg of Fakebook. We talk about how he censors posts and information, but he did a lot more than that. About 350 million more than that.

This year, left-leaning donors Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan gave $350 million to an allegedly “nonpartisan” nonprofit, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), which in turn re-granted the funds to thousands of governmental election officials around the country to “help” them conduct the 2020 election.

….

What these grants did was build structural bias into the 2020 election where structural bias matters most – in densely populated urban cores. It converted election offices in key jurisdictions with deep reservoirs of Biden votes into Formula One turnout machines. The hundreds of millions of dollars built systems, hired employees from activist groups, bought equipment and radio advertisements. It did everything that street activists could ever dream up to turn out Biden votes if only they had unlimited funding.

In 2020, they had unlimited funding because billionaires made cash payments to 501(c)(3) charities that in turn made cash payments to government election offices.

Massive numbers of people have come forward to testify under oath about things they’ve seen, or like some nursing home residents, things that have happened to them. Things people were told to do, things that have been recorded on video. Everyday citizens stepping up because they know what they are seeing is wrong, and evil. And those who should care, judges, secretaries of state, attorney generals at federal and state, multiple state actually, levels just don’t care. I’m very disappointed that SCOTUS wouldn’t hear the case Texas and other states brought against those corrupt states. It seems to me if the whole country is about to suffer under the tyranny of the harris/biden regime we should be heard. Some of these states that foolish choose not to be involved are going to be in for a big shock. Because once the socialist/communist party seizes control their autonomy is over. Has anyone ever seen much autonomy in a communist country? Thought not.

Remember the doofus known as Eric Swalwell who threatened to nuke American citizens  who refused to be disarmed and then just claimed he was joking? I’m sure most people realized it’s not normal for elected officials to threaten citizens with nuclear weapons. Well, not communists, no, they wouldn’t see a problem with that. But normal people. So lately it’s become much more clear as to why that would even cross his mind. He was in bed with the communists, no wonder he thinks like them. Yes, literally in bed with them. A Chinese spy named Christine Feng who also implanted a few people into other political positions. Republicans have a problem with Rep. Swalwell being on the intelligence committee and sleeping around with Chinese communist spies.

Demoncratic/Communists do not. Pelosi Defends Swalwell’s Chinese Spy Scandal – Then Deflects by Saying QAnon is a Danger to Congress Poor old bat, she needs help.

How much voter fraud, illegal voting, ballot manufacturing etc has taken place? Who knows for sure, the FBI is out investigating garages and subways sandwich shops. But I would hazard a guess that if this level of corruption and a power grab of this magnitude is allowed to succeed, we’re pretty much all done but the shouting. There will never be a real election again, it worked. If it works once that’s all it needs to work because then the communist government has taken control. Things that are moral and honest have been shoved aside. And evil people have been allowed to break the law, lie, cheat, steal and bully and intimidate with no repercussions. Why wouldn’t they do it again?

The democrat/communist party knows the majority of Americans voted for President Trump, thereby rejecting their radical platform. It took a massive amount of vote fraud to overcome those votes cast by real Americans. And yet, the communist/democratic party is now willing to attempt to force their will on those citizens. Those who voted for biden because he was a “moderate” are going to be very shocked when they discover their trial subscription to living in a communist country compliments of Wuhan Flu controls becomes a permanent feature.

I heard a very interesting interview with Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Smith from www.SaveOurFreedoms.org Rabbi Smith is also a lawyer, has studied molecular biology, virology and infectious diseases at the University of California at Berkeley. He maintains what is being done to the fearful American citizens is psychological warfare and he has some pretty good reasons for saying that.

And at a time of great challenge, the aspiring tyrants in power in NY and CA have forbidden people to attend worship services. And all over the US older Americans have been deprived of getting to see loved ones in their waning years, families are kept apart by fears of a virus with a greater than 99% recovery rate. NO ONE IS SAYING IT’S NOT REAL. We know, it’s real. And it’s also really being used to control people. So things that are normally a large source of strength and comfort to people, things that have helped hold the fabric of our society together in troubled times are the very things those aspiring to rule over us are denying us. Illegally I might add.

I have as much faith in vote tallies as I do Wuhan flu statistics. Sad, isn’t it?

After Supreme Court ruling, New Yorkers go back to synagogue

The decision resolved two cases at once: one brought by Agudath Israel of America, an organization representing Orthodox Jews, and one brought by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn.

“This is the first time in my memory that we have assumed the role of plaintiff before the high court,” Avi Shafran, Agudath Israel director of public affairs, told The Jerusalem Post. “What impelled us here was the singling out by New York’s governor of Orthodox neighborhoods as virus spreaders, repeatedly calling pointed attention to the residents’ religion, when other neighborhoods with even higher virus transmission rates were not given the same ‘red zone’ status. Our rabbinic leadership felt that we needed to speak up and defend our, and all Americans’, religious rights.

As in the times of the Maccabees of Hanukkah, cruel tyrants tried to forbid people from from the free worship of G-d. They have that in common with communism. Nothing is allowed to be more powerful or revered than the government. People of faith live by G-d’s laws, and love and revere G-d, not big government.

Justice Barrett Casts Deciding Vote, Justice Gorsuch Hammers Gov. Cuomo’s COVID-19 Restrictions on Churches and Synagogues

Yes, I think I’ve laid out enough information as to why these times are dark, with similarities to the times of the Macabees, and in fact some of the same circumstances. And some of those same circumstance are for the good as well. Namely, G-d is still in control

אין עוד מלבדו

There is none but him.

The festival of lights, Hanukkah, season of miracles. The miracles are many. That the Maccabean army was successful. From 1 Maccabees Chapter 3

10 Then Apollonius* gathered together the Gentiles, along with a large army from Samaria, to fight against Israel.

11 When Judas learned of it, he went out to meet him and struck and killed him. Many fell wounded, and the rest fled.

12 They took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius and fought with it the rest of his life.

13 But Seron, commander of the Syrian army, heard that Judas had mustered an assembly of faithful men ready for war.

14 So he said, “I will make a name for myself and win honor in the kingdom. I will wage war against Judas and his followers, who have despised the king’s command.”

15 And again a large company of renegades advanced with him to help him take revenge on the Israelites.

16 When he reached the ascent of Beth-horon,* Judas went out to meet him with a few men.

17 But when they saw the army coming against them, they said to Judas: “How can we, few as we are, fight such a strong host as this? Besides, we are weak since we have not eaten today.”

18 But Judas said: “Many are easily hemmed in by a few; in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between deliverance by many or by few;

19 for victory in war does not depend upon the size of the army, but on strength that comes from Heaven.

20 With great presumption and lawlessness they come against us to destroy us and our wives and children and to despoil us;

21 but we are fighting for our lives and our laws.

22 He* will crush them before us; so do not fear them.”

23 When he finished speaking, he rushed suddenly upon Seron and his army, who were crushed before him.

24 He pursued Seron down the descent of Beth-horon into the plain. About eight hundred* of their men fell, and the rest fled to the land of the Philistines.

They reclaimed the Temple, they were able to replace the desecrated and stolen items and finally to find the one small cruse of oil. The oil that was only suppose to last for one day, but instead burned for eight. But that’s not the only miracle with the oil. The miracle is that they used the oil and lit the Menorah. The part that I’m apply starts about 5 minutes in. I promise, from minute 5 to the end is good medicine.


Watch on TorahCafé.com!

14And My people, upon whom My name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and repent of their evil ways, I shall hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. ~~II Chronicles Chapter 7:14

That’s the thing about Hanukkah, the Maccabees and the Jews that were remaining faithful to G-d were outnumbered, out gunned and didn’t even have NewsMax on their side. But they did have something better, they had G-d, who loved them. Yes, I think we could be facing an escalation in this fight we’ve been engaged in now for some time. But G-d is not a man who changes, he is the same and the things he wants from us and for us are the same.

I don’t know how this will turn out. I know we can’t rely on people or institutions to save us, almost every institution and so many politicians that campaigned that they would represent us have failed us. The corruption is in so many places, some not even known yet.  No matter what, we can continue to seek G-d, and ask for his blessings on us, our families, homes, country and our way of life. We can try to be prepared and filled with resolve. And we can remember this is the season of miracles. As Rabbi Zev says, “Think good and it will be good”.  I believe in miracles.

The 2019 Maccabees?

3 Comments

Yes, it’s Hanukkah! One of my favorite times of year. We began lighting candles on the 22nd of December, the 24th of Kislev. A facebook friend thoughtfully sent me a picture of a very interesting Hanukkiah, an unusual one to be sure.

My Zebra Hanukkiah

Since we are in Hanukkah I’ve been thinking about a lot of things as my candles burn. One of them of course is the Maccabees, what was it like to live at that time, in those days?

I recently received a email from Judah Maccabee. I know! But he seems to be good friends with my Rabbi who must have let him use his computer. This is just the first part of the email he sent.

I time-traveled over 2,000 years to talk to you.

My name is Judah. I’m pretty famous in the Chanukah story.

I’m writing to you today because I need your help.

My brothers and I fought a war to take back our temple and the freedom to be Jewish.

People like to think of us as warriors. Born Fighters. Commanding a small but well-trained army.

Nonsense.

We’re just like you.

Regular people, going about our day.

The pressure grew and grew. And finally, instead of saying “You know what they should do…?” for the millionth time, we just did it ourselves.

It wasn’t easy to inspire people to help. Most of them wanted to keep their regular routine and hope that someone else would step up.

Thank G-d, enough people stepped up, and the story of Chanukah happened.

If you are unfamiliar with the story of how Hanukkah began, the first battle, here you go. But the part about Mattityahu is the part I’m getting at. When the Syrians came to their village in Modiin and built an alter and demanded that Mattiyahu sacrifice on it, to the Greek gods. He refused. A Hellenistic Jew stepped forward to do the sacrifice in Mattiyahu’s name. Mattiyahu killed him, then he and his sons went after the Syrian officers and the rest and routed them.

See, the battle of Hanukkah wasn’t about killing Jews, like The National Socialist German Workers’ Party was. It was about killing Judaism. If you were willing to forgo the practice of Judaism, like the Hellenized reformed Jews were, then everything was hunky dorey. If you weren’t? Not so much. Like Communism, they forbade the practice of Judaism.

So back to Mattiyahu, he recognized the threat of what the Syrians were demanding. Then he took the appropriate actions. He knew who his enemy was.

Do we know today? Do we recognize who our enemies are? Who sees us as enemies?

I don’t know if these two stories have gotten much in the way of #MSM #FakeNews attention. I don’t believe they have.

One is the 70 year old Jewish doctor Sarah Halemi who was thrown off a balcony from three stories up by a muslim yelling about allah’s snackbar. Seems he was angry after a fight, with his own family and the result was a 70 year old woman in the same building dying. The Franceistan courts have taken the matter very seriously. They declared the man cannot stand trial as he was high at the time. Jewish blood is cheap to the French courts.

In America we have another member of the religion of pieces that tried to blow up a plane with 150 souls on board. Bucket O’Chum was a Iraqi mechanic working for American Airline. Really American? You couldn’t find Americans to do the job? Bucket O’Chum attempted to sabotage the guidance system on the plane to bring it down. He faces up to three years in jail. Up. To. Three. Years. 150 people. He may serve as much as one week for each attempted murder. That much? I wonder how many other jihadis work for American Airlines?

It seems to charge either one of these murderers appropriately would be islamaphobic. Really?

The right people in positions don’t see a problem with letting them into these positions, apartment buildings, jobs and the like.

Then there was the Pensacola attack. Pentagon screens Saudi military trainees after Pensacola jihad massacre, finds no “current threat”

Ah.

So who does some in government regard as enemies? Well, when it comes to the aspiring tyrant, VA Governor Ralph Northam-Demoncrat, it would be gun owners. Because every life is to be respected. Northam on Abortion Bill: Infant Could Be Delivered and Then ‘Physicians and the Mother’ Could Decide If It Lives

Right.

And he just wants a few things from Virginia citizens (right now). Just a few common sense infringements (for now).

The new measures will include “universal background checks, banning the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others.”

Because hey, he’s about safety (for now). He even offered to let people keep their “assault weapons” if they registered them with the state. Because registration has never lead to confiscation.

In addition to letting people keep their legally purchase rifles, he is willing to let gun rights groups continue to have their meetings too!

Which kind of tells you Northam, a Demoncrat, really does consider people control acceptable. When he was asked about the growing number of Second Amendment Sanctuary cities he said he wouldn’t retaliate, that’s not what he’s about. He then changed the word and said there would be “consequences”. Ah, all better then.

A fellow Demoncrat in the US House of Representatives, Donald McEachin, then suggested using the National Guard against American citizens. So of course the National Guard started getting calls. Not a lot of comfort there.

“We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard,” he added.

But Demoncrats from VA have lots of ideas on how they can control people.

Here’s the deal: a Virginia Democrat, Jennifer Wexton, has proposed a bill which would use your credit card purchases to track your gun purchases, and history shows that this data will be used against you.

The battle of Hanukkah was about people living as free people in their land, worshiping G-d as he had instructed them. And to some that was just unacceptable. The Maccabees weren’t the modern forerunner of the IDF, they were regular people who stood up. Just like those in Virginia who are fighting back against attempts by Hellenizing Demoncrats to force them to live in subjugation to whoever decides they will “rule” and not “serve” as an elected official.

Hands down, best Hanukkiah ever!

Because I can never see this enough.

Light a candle, freedom, and fan the flame. Share and spread the light.

Happy Hanukkah

Happy Hanukkah 2018

Happy Hanukkah! The story that celebrates the victory of the Maccabees, a Jewish Priestly family from Modiin that aren’t Israeli, didn’t live in Israel and they defeated the Greek empire that wanted to force them to abandon their faith, their heritage and their G-d.

If I were going to write the story today I would cast Jewish Voices for Peace, J street, If Not Now, B’Tselem, and leftist Jews as the Hellenistic Jews of the Hanukkah story. Because they work against Israel and those that want to live life according to Torah. It’s kind of interesting to me, I recently took a class called “Wrestling With Faith” in it we talked about the Mitzvot. The 613 little holy bread crumbs G-d gave to leave a path for us to follow to find him. You want to get to know someone? You ask him or her questions about themselves, and sometimes getting that information is like pulling teeth. G-d plays no such games with us. He says these things I like, these things I don’t like. You want to make me smile? You want to show you are a child who listen to their father? These are house rules. Which kind of baffles me when people tell me they don’t matter anymore. Maybe I just haven’t found the Parasha where it says G-d changed him mind about those. But that was the point of the Hellenization. To separate the Jews from the things that G-d ask. It’s like doing everything the opposite of what your boss, significant other, spouse or coach says you should do and then expecting them to still feel the same way about you. It doesn’t usually play out that way. So Hellenization was meant to turn people from the worship of G-d to the worship of the human body, art, and pagan rituals. They wanted to convince the Jews living in Israel that they didn’t need to observe the new months, circumcision, Torah study, Shabbat observance. They wanted to drive a wedge between the people and G-d.

For more info on this history of Hanukkah and information you’ll find we’ve got quite a few choices.

It’s The Most MACCABEE Time of the Year!

Oh, it’s probably nothing…

#Amona

A Holiday Classic…

Some things are worth fighting for

At This Time

It definitely wasn’t safe to openly practice being a Jew in Israel at that time. As other times down through history different people of different nations have tried to eradicate Jews and their Judaism. It never began with cattle cars, concentration camps and ovens. It began with yellow stars and discrimination. At the end of WWII the world joined us in vowing #NeverAgain, and now there has been a self serving attempt to cheapen that phrase by a money grubbing, attention seeking political pawn who is protected by armed guards even as he oinks out that those that can’t afford paid protection be rendered defenseless. Little swine.

Did we think that would be the final attempt after the final solution? Well, it wasn’t.

Rashida Tlaib to lead congressional trip to Judea and Samaria

One of the two new muslims elected to congress. She is leading a group to Israel, but not to visit Israeli Jews, Arabs, Christians and Druze. Nope, to visit the ancient people (est. 1964) Falestinians. The other muslim Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is also no friend.

Tlaib in the interview also came out in support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel, which she said brings attention to “issues like the racism and the international human rights violations by Israel right now.”

Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, the other Muslim woman elected to Congress in November, said in an interview shortly after the election that she supports the BDS movement after saying during her campaign that it was “counteractive” and prevents dialogue.

What do people not yet accept or understand about “taquia”?

Menorah toppled near Harvard University

South African synagogue goes up in flames guesses on if it’s arson or not?

New Hampshire Town Reject Menorah Display, Citing Vandalism

One might think it’s becoming unsafe in America for Jews to openly admit or display their faith. One would be correct. From wonderful Jack Engelhard in a column titled Americas Hidden Jews. This whole column is well worth reading.

Professor of Jewish and Holocaust studies at Columbia University Elizabeth Midlarsky is about the only one at the college who dares to identify herself openly as Jewish.

Let that sink in.

Remember, this is America. This is New York.

A few days ago she walked into her office to find it vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti. “They got me,” she told The Washington Post. “I’m afraid.

And then we have Airbnb or AirBS depending on if you ask the company or me what their name is. AirBS is a site where people can list property, apartments or rooms they have to rent to vacationers. They have recently decided parts of Israel aren’t in Israel. So any of the Jewish homes listed in Judea and Samaria, the Biblical heartland, were removed. Not the Falistinian ones mind you, they’re still listed. Just not the Jewish ones. Have they done this in any other part of the world where there is dissension occurring? Why do I bother asking? Of course not. It is flat out anti-semitism. Are they being called out for it. Nope.

Remember in the Hanukkah story how a Hellenized Jew was going to sacrifice a pig on the alter in Modiin since Matthias Maccabee refused to do so? Matthias killed the corrupted Jew, and then the King’s officer that was commanding such a thing. There would be no pigs sacrificed on alters in the Maccabee name. The Hellenized Jews were trying to corrupt the pure ones. They’re still active today.

America’s Jewish left endorses anti-Jewish discrimination

American Jewish peace activists who have spent much of their lives fighting discrimination against ethnic minorities, have decided there is one form of discrimination they support: discrimination against Jews who reside in Judea-Samaria.

Angry At Airbnb For Boycotting The Settlements? Birthright Does The Same Thing.

According to the leftist Jews, that most likely do celebrate Hanukkah, as most all Jews do celebrate Hanukkah, Modiin, land of the Maccabees, IS NOT IN ISRAEL. Nope. Who knew?

I think Daniel Pipes of the Middle-East Forum has the answer to this one. ‘It’s time for Israel to declare victory’

Daniel Pipes is determined to make it clear to the Arabs in Judea and Samaria that in order to survive they must recognize Israel.

The Maccabeean revolt was a two fold war. One, it was incredible military victories, G-d gave many many miracles over the years the battles were fought. The other was the war of faith, religion or culture. However you choose to look at it.

I think I’m going to have to disagree with Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks this time. In his Hanukkah message this year he seems to me at least, to believe the great battle was for education, not military battles. I believe without the military battle of G-d through the Maccabees, there would have been no educational victories. To quote Dinesh D’Souza yesterday, he was discussing the difference between George H.W. Bush and President Trump. He said “sometimes you need Mother Teresa, and sometimes you need Dirty Harry”. I would add and sometimes, no one less than Judah Maccabee will do.

My poem to Judah. Twas a Night During Hanukkah

I’ve made no secret that I love Hanukkah. I always find miracles humbling, amazing and awe inspiring. And what is Hanukkah but the time of miracles? This year, there are some big ones.

This is the second prayer for the candle lighting of the Hanukkiah

Hebrew
Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha’olam
Blessed are you, Lord, our God, sovereign of the universe
Hebrew
she’asah nisim la’avoteinu bayamim haheim baziman hazeh. (Amein)
Who performed miracles for our ancestors in those days at this time

And I guess that’s one of the things I’ve been thinking about. “In those days, at this time.”

This year is the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people. It’s been 70 years since the U.N. voted Israel a nation, just a note, G-d had voted it long before that. It’s been 22 years since the Jerusalem Embassy act was passed in the US with bi-partisan support saying that the US would move their embassy to Jerusalem, where Israel has the seat of their government. There is no other nation on earth that has not designated their capitol and other countries have told them “No, it’s not”. And for 22 years for reasons of “security” Presidents have signed the loophole waiver, from Bill Clintoon until….President Trump.

The claim was always “security”. It would be discussed and the arabs would threaten “Days of Rage” “Day of Hissy fits” “Days of Pique” “Days of Temper Tantrum”. Here’s a helpful desk calendar from IsraellyCool.

Helpful to schedule your day of “Hissy fit”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the world and the US President would cave. I listened to a radio show in this last week when Rabbi Chaim pointed out “Do you really want to live under the threat of terrorism? Where your lives are controlled by a threat?”. His co-host Yitzach told about a email he received from a friend in the US who asked him his opinion on President Trump’s actions. It was very clear the friend didn’t like President Trump and was very critical of the action. Yitzach told him it was about time, and it was the right thing to do. The friend answered back that he guessed it was, he just didn’t like President Trump and couldn’t believe he could ever do the right thing, and didn’t want to think he had. AND he guzzles Diet Coca Cola!! Classic Trump derangement syndrome. Probably listens to cnn or mslsd (both #FakeNews). May I just point out that Oslo was suppose to bring peace, and how’s that worked out?? Um, not so well. And the media has yammered on and on about how President Trump broke the status quo. By finally implementing a LAW passed 22 YEARS ago?

And that brings me to Hanukkah. Hanukkah is different from Purim. With Purim we celebrate the very survival of the Jewish nation. Haman had decreed all were to be killed. Dead, met, מת

With Hanukkah, I think the case could be made it was something even worse, the Greek Antiochus had decreed that Jews would not allowed to be, well, Jews. He wanted to kill their souls, not just their bodies. They couldn’t observe feasts, Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, or anything really that G-d had instructed. The Greeks worshiped the physical form, logic and Antiochus, never the most stable of rulers couldn’t abide that the Jews, well at least the backwards ones in flyover country would defy him. The more “enlightened” of the Jews worshiped at the alter of the demoncrats and Hellenism and were fine with casting off the chains of duty to G-d.

But then there was the Maccabees. Mattathias and his sons, his warrior son Judah who most assuredly were not going to “coexist”. They had no illusions as to what that would result in. There’s actually a bit of a pattern in this area. This is actually a T-shirt:

The fate of nations that have come against Israel.

Chronology of the Jewish People and Hanukkah

To read more about the specifics of Hanukkah, TZP has some columns.

Some things are worth fighting for

It’s The Most MACCABEE Time of the Year!

My little attempt at poetry, Twas a Night During Hanukkah

Cleaning the Menorah for Next Year

And so, President Trump, and his recent speech about Hanukkah and Jerusalem.

Predictably, some of the arabs living in Israel (sometimes known as Falestinians by me) had reacted with ________ depending on the day. They are so miffed that Abu Mazen has refused to meet with Vice-President Pence and are threatening to cut ties with the U.S. No word if they will continue to take our money yet though.

And from the other loony toon spectrum Hamass is planning to “liberate occupied Tel Aviv”. No, I’m not making that up, I couldn’t.

You see, with the arabs living in Israel, it really isn’t about Jerusalem or the Alka Seltzer Mollusk. It never was. When they pray they face Mecca, they turn their Hamasses towards the Mollusk, not usually sign of reverence. More a sign of a 15 year old boy mooning a teacher he doesn’t like.

Remember I said The Maccabees didn’t live with illusions? There should be no illusions that giving in to arab terrorism will result in peace, it will not. There should be no illusions that “compromising” with anti-gun people or politicians will result in good gun laws. It will not. Like the Maccabees, we need to live with no illusions about people or situations.

In those days, at this time. The Maccabees were raised up, and were there to fight for Jewish life, Torah and Israel.

I don’t know about you, but there are times I’ve felt compelled to do something when it really didn’t make a lot of sense to me. I couldn’t think of a good reason, but I felt like I was suppose to do it, and so I did. Only later it might become apparent why I need to do, buy or learn whatever. But I was very glad I had heeded the urging.

In those days, at this time. Remember last week when I talked about Jacob going back for the tupperware of oil? He had just struggled with the angel, his hip had been wounded, he has a new name, he’s headed to face off with his brother who has sworn to kill him and he goes back for a tupperware of oil?

On the Chabad web site, From the Talmud:

Rabbi Shlomo Luria, the Maharshal, suggests that these jugs contained the oil that Jacob had designated for anointing the monument he had set up many years earlier during his flight to Haran.3 This was holy oil, then, so Jacob did not want to leave it behind.4

Interestingly, these jugs may be linked to the miracle of Chanukah. According to Tzeidah la-Derech, “G‑d said to Jacob: You risked your life for a small jug of oil for My sake. In return, I will repay your descendants, the Hasmoneans, when a miracle will happen for them with a small jug of oil.”

In those days, at this time. We too are here in these days at this time for a purpose. We all are blessed with one, and we all fit together like a jig saw puzzle. The staff at Zelman’s Partisans, the people in the Second Amendment community, the people who take the kids out and give them their first experience safely learning to shoot, pro-freedom politicians, Second Amendment activists of all kinds, all of us fit and work together. May we all be blessed with knowing our purpose, and enjoying the blessings of Hanukkah and Christmas.

I’ll leave you with this humorous little video clip a good friend of mine from Israel shared with me a few days ago.

And how could I not give you a Hanukkah video?? It has English subtitles and it’s beautiful. I love it because they say Nes Gadol Haya POH!! Not Sham. That’s because they are in Israel, not anywhere else.

My Favorite Hanukkiah

Things Don’t Happen In A Vacuum

6 Comments

Shocked at the outrageous U.N. vote? Surprised? Just sad but think it’s none of our affair and has nothing to do with us, U.S.? Oh how I beg to differ.

You see, Obama and his evil minions made the affair. I’m surprised they didn’t have it catered, maybe it was.

Egypt originally proposed the resolution condemning Jews living in Israel, in the parts known as Judea and Samaria as well as East Jerusalem. It was proposed by Egypt at the behest of the pieceful Falestinians. After a call by President-Elect Trump to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt withdrew the resolution. It was then pushed by New Zealand, Venezuela, Malaysia and Senegal, as addressed by my colleague Y.B. This despite the fact that Israel has been more than kind to Senegal with monetary aid as well as agricultural technology.

Senegal defends their vote by saying they support the muslims in Falestine. Israel is the first on the scene when there is a catastrophe or crisis, and yet.

So let’s just take a brief look at the situation.Back in July of 2014Ben Shapiro pointed out that “This Is An Anti-Israel, “Jew Hating” Administration”

And Dr. Tsvi Sadan points out From the Soles of His Shoes: Obama’s Hostility Toward Israel He points out a very interesting little tidbit about a picture of barry.

Ever wonder how or why Samantha Powers was appointed to the UN? Well, she does favor invading Israel militarily, on the side of the Falestinians, of course.

So let’s just look at a tiny bit of history again about Judea and Samaria. Because Jews living there HAS been settled under international law. A long time ago. The whole article is well worth reading.

The only binding resolution of international law, a resolution which has never been countermanded to this very day, is the July 1922 Mandate for Palestine. Adopted by the League of Nations, that resolution recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” It called for the creation of a Jewish national homeland anywhere west of the Jordan River.

Once the League of Nations was disbanded and the United Nations formed in its stead, the international community agreed to maintain all agreements and not “alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments to which Members of the United Nations may respectively be parties.” [Article 80, UN Charter, emphasis added] This provision wasn’t inserted by accident; it was known as “the Jewish People’s clause” at the time it was adopted in 1945 in order to enshrine the 1922 Mandate into international law.

The Mandate for Palestine adopted by the League of Nations was the last legally binding document delineating regional borders. In Article 5 of the Mandate it explicitly states “The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.”

The Palestine Mandate (and Iraq) was given to Britain to serve as a temporary trustee based on the resolution between the four principle Allied Powers in April 1920 at the San Remo Conference in Italy, which was signed by 51 nations. It was at that conference where the world powers adopted the 1917 Balfour Declaration (which originally allocated the eastern part of the Mandate for a Jewish state as well) creating a Jewish state. This same conference that created the Jewish state west of the Jordan River also created Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq as Arab states….

Unfortunately, over the past generation the geo-political elites and the media has repeated the lie about an Arab “Palestinian state” and “illegal Israeli settlements” so many times that it has become true in the minds of so many people.

So.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” ~~joseph gerbils

Notice, nobody, not even the pieceful Falestinians were pitching hissy fits when JORDAN illegally occupied Judea and Samaria in Israel from 1948-1967, and EGYPT occupied Gaza. Where was the UN in light of the fact Israel’s boundaries were violated? Oh, appeasing.

“We have not taken foreign territory or any alien property, but have occupied our ancestral heritage, for some time unjustly wrested from us by our enemies; now that we have a favorable opportunity, we are merely recovering our ancestral heritage” (Maccabees 1, 15:33-34).

And so getting Egypt to push the resolution failed, Egypt refused.

So what’s a despot to do?

Get crazy Joe Biden to call the Ukraine and push them.

“[The hands] are American hands,” Elkin said, using a Biblical phrase in an interview with Ynet. “It was announced here in Ukraine that the Ukrainians really wanted to abstain, [but US Vice President Joe] Biden personally called the President of Ukraine and pressured the Ukrainians to vote in favor.”

An understandably miffed PM Netanyahu then refused to meet with Ukraine Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman. The sad irony of Groysman abounds.

And New Zealand is not just a _____________, they too, are weak ______________ because Israel’s good friend Britain pushed New Zealand. Why would they do that? I heard on a radio show once an explanation of why politicians pander to the muslim voters. Because there are so many of them. Once a certain amount of them are in a country, it’s voting is never the same. Do I know that’s what happened? No. But it’s a possibility. Also possible, the Falestinians have talked of suing Britain over the Balfour Declaration. I mean it’s not like Britain has a long proud tradition of siding with the arabs against the Jews and trying to keep Jews out of Israel. /snark.

No fool Netanyahu, Israel accuses Obama administration of helping craft, push UN censure.

But what will be the fallout?

Depends on who you are and your viewpoint. Jack Engelhard says, All bets are off after UN infamy and build baby, build. He says no reason not plow full steam ahead. I love Jack.

Fatah is jubilant. Fatah thanks UN members for giving it ‘permission’ to kill Jews

Fatah Hunting Permit, thanks barry & supporters.
Fatah Hunting Permit, thanks barry & supporters.

DEBKAfile has done a very thoughtful analysis of just what this is going to mean. UNSC resolution promotes Mid East war

As well as pointing out:

The one who abandoned Israel was US President Barack Obama – and not for the first time. During his eight years in office, Obama let Israel down at least three times on issues that jeopardized its security:

One of the first consequences of his 2011 “Arab Spring” initiative was the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak as Egyptian president and his direct promotion of the Muslim Brotherhood’s takeover of power in Cairo.

So, how did all this come to light? Well, the report from the Ukraine, and Egypt.

Egyptian report: US led the charge to pass the UN resolution The lyin’ piece of crap john kerry and that lyin’ piece of tripe susan “Benghazi was caused by a youtube video” rice.

And

Now this evidence seems to have been released by the Egyptians, in the form of the minutes of a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and PA officials Saeb Erekat and Ryad Mansour.

The whole report from Israellycool is pretty insightful. Bombshell Meeting Minutes Show Obama Administration Collusion With PA To Ambush Israel

But if you want a person on the street view of obama and hillary’s installation of the muslim brotherhood morsi and didn’t see Sama Elmasry‘s video after al-Sisi took over….just not sure it’s safe for work. She’s not fond of Israel either, but she’s got obama figured out a lot better than a lot of people in the US.

Israel fears barry’s not done. He’s got a few more days in office.

More fallout? I think we will see more incidents of what Y.B. just wrote about.

I mean, we’ve imported and are importing massive amounts of people from countries that do not love Jews or Christians so much. And in their minds? Apparently they view the resolution as a license. Not that they thought they needed one.

You know, we read about the horrible rise of Anti-Semitism in Europistan, and Britistan. Jews are afraid to wear a Kippah in public and some are afraid to go to Synagogue. In times past, they could and should make Aliyah to Israel, where they would be accepted and “safer” at least. Some countries make Synagogues pay for their own security. But where now, exactly are they suppose to live? Israel wasn’t big to start with. And as far as the pieceful Falestinians are concerned, the UN has just blessed their goals to make Judea and Samaria “Jew free”. Although “tripe rice” urged them not to use violence. Not because it’s wrong, but because it hurts their “cause”.

For her part, Israel needs to quit playing this game, take her marbles and annex Judea and Samaria. Then there will be no doubt as to who’s law applies. And the residents of Amona can live in peace, at least from their own government. They should do it tomorrow and tell the UN and barry to stuff it. They should then issue every resident of Judea and Samaria a rifle, handgun and plenty of ammunition. Every town gets a tank, maybe two. Let’s see how this goes.

This is the battle of the Maccabees all over again. An Israeli doctor released a statement recently that he wanted widely disseminated. The story of a pieceful Falestinian woman who was set aflame by her loving family. She was treated and given skin grafts at Soroka in Be’er Sheva. She returned for a follow up visit wearing a suicide belt to kill as many of those that saved her as she could. His point is, this is not a war of land, but a war of culture. And you can never appease that enough, you can never cede enough land. You can only submit and give up your culture to theirs.

Things don’t happen in a vacuum, there is a lot going on with this UN resolution. And, as one radio host pointed out last night, he lives in the area of Samaria, does this mean if he leaves the country he will be arrested as a international criminal?

It’s like the world wants Israel isolated, defenseless and Jews facing extreme Antisemitism unable to flee there for safety. Wait, something is ringing in the back of my mind.

But I think this resolution is a rock thrown into a pond. I think the ripples are going to spread further and wider than people ever suspected. And it was heinous and bogus to start with. From the president that has been heinous and bogus all along, leaving a “legacy” of heinous and bogus.

And, I’ll give you this video. Michael writes some good Second Amendment songs as well.
