The Red, Green, White and Blue Alliance

I have truly been astonished at the reactions of some people since the joint American and Israeli effort to make the world a safer place. Iranian proxies have been attacking Israel for years now, and since October 7th it’s been something most countries will never go through. Iranian proxies have been lobbing missiles into Israel almost non-stop. Everyone has apps on their phone, and I’m sure some will have a horrible time recovering from trembling every time they hear a siren. I pray we never have to live like that here. In Israel you want to be able to get to a safe room in about 15 seconds. While Israel has been targeting nuclear bases, precision eliminating top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp members and nuclear scientists, Iran has been shooting their missiles at residential areas, and a hospital in Be’er Sheva (Soroka) that treated many of the falestinians. I have no clue why they do, but they do. Arabs are Jews worked there side by side for years, so the Iranian nutters shot a missile into it. Then apparently realizing that might be an “oopsie” they put out some kind of star wars graphic out saying there were tanks stored in it. Well, yeah, but in a hospital it’s tanks of medical gases, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide…however that’s not what their star wars graphic showed. And, there are nutters that believed them. Not because it makes sense, but because they hate Jews. And they can rationalize any barbarity exhibited towards the Jews. Nutter Candace Owens has apparently gone completely around the bend. A friend of mine saw a video or a X post, something like that where she claimed the IDF is killing poor falestinian children when they come out looking for food. Apparently her ignorance level remains high as ever. But my friend commented what was even more disheartening was the amount of comments that supported her and agreed with her. If Jews are running the world, we need to do a much better job with our PR game. But to be fair, the media is as biased against Jews as it is Donald Trump. We need to find out which Jews control the media and have a gentle word. But Candace doesn’t know what she thinks. Short one minute clip.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided to expose the inadequacy of the educational system. She stated

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.”

Well,,,,,hmm, bless her little heart. Let me help you Marjorie…you ignorant twit because I’m quite sure there are many American families that were shocked to find out they don’t have missing/dead family members due to Iran. Because there most assuredly has been Iranian aggression towards America, going way back. It’s nice to know Marjorie remembers their sacrifice with such dignity. I’m surprised she didn’t check her watch when she made the comment ala Joe Biden when the service men he killed returned from Afghanistan. Here’s a helpful list. Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present)

November 1979-January 1981: Iranian students — with the backing of Tehran — take 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17 Americans, at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Iran-backed terrorist group Islamic Jihad, a precursor and early branch of Hezbollah (not to be confused with Palestinian Islamic Jihad), claims responsibility.

October 1983: Operatives of the Iran-backed Hezbollah drive a truck bomb at a Marine compound in Beirut, killing 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service personnel.

December 1983: Hezbollah operatives drive an explosives-filled dump truck through the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. No Americans are harmed.

March 1984: Terrorists kidnap CIA station chief William Buckley in Beirut, subsequently torturing and ultimately killing him in 1985. Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.

December 1984: Hezbollah terrorists hijack Kuwait Airways Flight 221 on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan and divert it to Tehran, killing two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

June 1985: Hezbollah terrorists hijack TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome and kill a U.S. Navy diver.

July 1989: Hezbollah operatives kill U.S. Marine Corps Col. William Higgins after kidnapping him the previous year while on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.

April 1995: An explosives-laden van crashes into a bus near Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, killing one American and seven Israelis. Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims responsibility.

August 1995: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in the Ramat Eshkol neighborhood of Jerusalem, killing an American and three other passengers and wounding more than 100.

February 1996: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a Jerusalem bus, killing three Americans and wounding three other Americans. A total of 26 people die in the attack.

March 1996: A suicide bomber blows up the Dizengoff shopping center in Tel Aviv, wounding two Americans. Twenty people die and 75 others are injured in the attack. Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad claim responsibility.

May 1996: Gunmen kill an American-Israeli dual citizen in the community of Beit El in the West Bank. Another U.S. citizen and three Israelis are wounded. No group claims responsibility, but Israel suspects Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

June 1996: A truck carrying 5,000 pounds of explosives blows up the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in the Saudi Arabian town of Khobar. Nineteen Americans die and some 500 people are injured. The Iran-backed Hezbollah Al Hijaz, a terrorist group in Saudi Arabia, is deemed responsible.

September 1997: Three Hamas suicide bombers blow themselves up at the Ben Yehuda shopping mall in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and wounding seven other American citizens. Four other people die and nearly 200 are wounded in the attack.

August 1998: With the assistance of Hezbollah, al Qaeda suicide bombers almost simultaneously blow up the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounding thousands. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, al Qaeda developed “the tactical expertise for such attacks months earlier, when some of its operatives — top military committee members and several operatives who were involved with the Kenya cell among them — were sent to Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon.”

August 2001: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem, killing a U.S.-Israeli dual citizen and two other Americans. A total of 15 people die in the attack.

September 11, 2001: While the 9/11 Commission Report concludes that Iran had no foreknowledge of al Qaeda’s attacks on the World Trade Center, the report indicates that Tehran facilitated the travel of some of the terrorists. “In sum,” the report notes, “there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.”

January 2002: Gunmen affiliated with the Iran-backed al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade kill a U.S.-Israel dual citizen and wound another individual in the West Bank community of Beit Sahur.

2003-2011: Iranian-backed militias kill at least 603 U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. Iranian training and material support for Iraqi militias during the surge greatly increased the difficulty of U.S. forces to combat the insurgency and included some of the deadliest weapons used against American troops, including explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

August 2003: A Hamas suicide bomber blows up a bus in Jerusalem, killing five Americans and wounding one other American. A total of 24 people died in the attack.

August 2006: Hezbollah fighters kill American citizen Michael Levin, a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), during the Second Lebanon War. He is the only American to die in the conflict.

January 2007: Twelve men affiliated with the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) disguised themselves as U.S. soldiers, entered the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in the Iraqi city of Karbala, killed five U.S. soldiers, and wounded another three. In 2019, the U.S. State Department issued a $15 million bounty for information on an IRGC Quds Force commander who planned the attack and other “assassinations of coalition forces in Iraq.”

July 2014: Hamas terrorists kill two Americans serving in the IDF during fighting between the terrorist group and Israel in Gaza as part of Operation Protective Edge.

June 2025: At least three U.S. bases in Syria and two U.S. bases in Iraq are attacked with missiles or drones, likely by Iranian-backed militias.

As well, maybe someone should explain to Marjorie what the word “proxy” means. Bless her little heart.

So we’re seeing people that at least initially were fine with supporting Ukraine, come unglued that less than a dozen, I’m guessing airplanes and some massive bombs were used to eliminate a threat that the President made clear in his first term he viewed as a big danger. Not the first time America has attempted to help people resist an evil regime by dropping things from the air. Although I will grant the bombs the B2s dropped aren’t the same as the FP-45 Liberator Pistols. Barry Soteros’ strategy for dealing with it by giving them pallets of money to distribute among their terrorist proxies didn’t seem to work, so apparently this President decided to try something different.

So people on the left like the Occasional Cortex and people on the right, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, also Occasional Cortexs and Tucker Carlson are very upset we helped an ally in the middle east. Fascinating. Of course, Qatar did sort of help Tucker out, like they did Steve Witkoff, but I’m sure the money makes no difference. I mean just because Qatar is where the leaders of hamass hid out when the pressure got too hot in Gaza after October 7th, and just because Qatar sends money to centers of higher learning, that may or may not have a distinct Jew hatred problem now, that’s probably unrelated as well.

Tucker smells a bit fishy

A Washington Examiner investigation found that U.S. journalists often published pro-Qatar content shortly after targeted lobbying efforts. One major success was Tucker Carlson’s interview with Qatar’s Prime Minister, which drew over six million views within hours. A new FARA filing reveals Qatar paid to facilitate the interview and provided pre-approved talking points on Iran. The PR campaign was run by Lumen8 Advisors, a U.S. firm paid $180,000 monthly by the Qatari Embassy for strategic consulting. The contract requires 13 days of work per month, mostly in Doha, and bars the firm from working with other Middle Eastern or North African governments without Qatar’s approval.

So people on the left and the right have finally found common ground, it’s fine for the Islamic regime to try to destroy the Jewish state the size of New Jersey and to threaten America.

Is anyone besides Israelis happy about the IDF taking out nuclear scientists and IRGC, and Basji thugs? Surprisingly yes.

An alliance that people might not expect is taking place. It’s an alliance between the Iranian people and the Jewish state. There was a rally in speech suppressed England over the weekend. They tried to hold a rally a few days before, but the IRGC thugs in England came and attacked many of the rally goers. Seven were arrested. One rally goer was sent to a major trauma center. Do you remember for about 5 minutes after October 7th, there were rallies in support of Jews and of Israel. Till the very well funded anti-Israel, anti-Jew groups sprang into action? Well, who marched along side in many of these Jewish rallies? Iranians. Holding the Iranian flag marched with the Jews holding the Israeli flag. So the group held another rally, with even more people despite being attacked violently only a few days before. This time it’s the Jewish community showing up to show love and support to the Iranian people.

I’ve got it set to start at the relevant point, truly inspiring.

The Iranian people who have lived under a more democratic form of government are not like the Iraqis that had never lived that way. I understand Reza Pahlavi is planning with others to return to Iran to help set up a temporary transitional government until the people can vote on what they want. But the Iranian people will have to rise up and do it from the ground up. Not a CIA lead regime change, but the Iranian people, the majority of which are not Islamic and don’t want to live under Islam. They want to be normal again. The Israelis have destroyed as much of the power structure of Iran as possible before President Trump declared a ceasefire. What that ceasefire will do to the chances of the Iranian people to overthrow the Islamic regime I don’t know. What I do suspect is President Trump doesn’t understand “ceasefire” is arabic for we’re rearming, regrouping and getting our proxies ready to take over for us for a bit. Then, business as usual. But that too will be up to the Iranian people. But as long as the Islamic regime remains in place, this will happen again. They are 12ers. And to bring back their 12th Imam, all the Jews have to be dead, world wide. Christians may convert or die. Either way, the world has to be drenched in blood. And I’m not sure how you make “peace” with that.

So now there is this fascinating alliance between the red, green and white flag of Iran with the blue and white flag of Israel.

Sara Netanyahu and I guess Bibi as well posted this beautiful graphic of the two lions watching the sun come up on better days.

Two lions watching for better days to come

Why wouldn’t the people of Iran want to go back to what life was like in the 1970s before Jimmy Peanuts aligned with the Islamic “men of god”, little g?

May their fight for freedom be blessed.

Purim and Concealed Carry, Everyday heroes

We’re about a week out from Purim, the holiday that once again celebrates the survival of the Jewish people from a nation that wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth. The Megillah (scroll/story) of Esther is notable for not mentioning the name of G-d as he remains as hidden as his name is in the story. There are no overt miracles like the parting of the sea, or clouds of glory, manna or even a miraculous battle. No, the story of Purim is about regular people. While I will concede Esther is a Queen this is still not a story of people born into the nobility of Persia.

You can find lots of information on Purim here

As I understand it, when Mordechai, Esther’s cousin who raised Esther first found of the plot to destroy the Jewish people and tried to warn them, he wasn’t taken seriously. The Jewish people were rather fractured at that time, and so Esther requested that all the Jews gather to pray and fast. Another interesting bit on this is Mordechai wanted to send the Jews a message regarding the true evil nature of the King and Hamen, but being afraid the message would be intercepted, he hid it in pastry.

6. The Alshich explains that at first, the Jews did not believe that they were going to be completely wiped out. In an effort to convince them of the seriousness of the situation, Mordechai sent numerous letters to the Jews describing the true brutal natures of Haman and Ahasuerus. However, because Mordechai feared that the king might intercept these messages that painted him in an unfavorable light, Mordechai hid them in pastries, which he then sent to the Jews. These pastries saved the Jews, because when they found Mordechai’s letters hidden within the dough, they became convinced of the direness of the situation and were stirred to repentance. On Purim, we eat hamantaschen, a pastry that contains hidden filling, to commemorate how the hidden filling of Mordechai’s pastries brought about our salvation. (Sefer Menuchah V’Kedushah 2:20)

I’ve heard this year they may be called Oznai Sinwar, Sinwar’s ears, after the leader of hamass.

Leading up to Haman’s evil attempt the eradicate Persia of it’s Jewish population, Jews thought they fit into society. They could freely walk around with their symbols of Judaism, order Kosher food and were treated no differently than other members of Persian society. Until one day they didn’t. Much like Germany, a cultured progressive country, Jews were apart of society and had lived at peace with their non-Jewish neighbors, until one day they didn’t.

Today American Jews are seeing what European Jews, or at least Swedish, German, English, and French Jews have been seeing for a long time. Their country loves the illegal invaders from 3rd world countries far more than they love the culture and contributions of their Jewish citizens. I’m sure it is a painful awakening for those that are seeing that the Demoncratic party embraces far more the views of the “the squad” than the old style demoncrats that supported Israel. I would think it would be painful to hear Chuck Schumer call for interference (again) in Israel’s electoral process. I would think it would cause painful bafflement when those indoctrinated by the higher education system proudly display their ignorance on topics while demanding something no other country at war has ever been required to do, which is hamstring your own army and support your opponents. Yet somehow people view it as perfectly acceptable to demand it of Israel.

Well, as we know, Queen Esther and Mordechai took action and created the circumstances for the Jewish people to be allowed concealed carry permits to fight back and kill those who came to kill them. But more than likely the Jews of Shushan sure didn’t see that one coming.

The shock of finding out they had been expendable all along to the left has to be horrible, but to me, more horrible yet are those that still don’t understand what is happening because they still trust the same dishonest mainstream media that has been deceiving them for years. It sure does make it easier to get blindsided. I really hate blindsided.

Purim and the Betrayal of American Jewry

Who has betrayed us? Not the white supremacists, not the neo-Nazis and the ignorant, brainwashed skinheads—there’s no element of surprise there—but the educated, humanitarian left, that segment of society that Jews have embraced more than any other, both ideologically and socially. The gentle souls who walked with us in sympathetic conversation have turned with teeth, claws, and venom against us.

What prompted their betrayal? Because they saw that it was possible to murder, rape, and torture over 1,200 of us, abduct our babies and elderly, and get away with it. That was “exhilarating” and “awesome.” That very morning, there were those who jumped out of bed eager to blame the victims, defend murderers and rapists, and celebrate our pain. Only later were they angered that we dare attempt to rescue our loved ones and protect ourselves from those who would destroy us, dampening the perverse antisemitic exhilaration that comes from seeing a Jew suffer.

Why is betrayal so shocking? Because it redefines not only the present but the past. It means that all along, the people you thought were your friends were holding a dagger for you in their back pocket.

Progressive Jews are not alone in feeling betrayed

The Epiphany

As a Zionist

Now or never wake-up call for American Jewish Progressives

The Obiden crime junta has imported millions of illegal invaders from countries with a rich history of crime and antisemitism. The results are now being made manifest and from what Michael Yon is saying, far worse is still coming. There are several different articles linked in this one, but this is a widespread problem covering far more than just Baltimore.

South American Gangs Target Mansions In Baltimore As Biden’s Border Crisis Spreads Chaos

Durden reminds us:

At the same time, Democrats are waging war on the Second Amendment by actively trying to ban guns, which will only leave law-abiding people defenseless.

Americans are demanding law and order – something Democrats and the radical progressives in the White House could not care less.

Welcome to Purim 2024, and the modern day Hamen, Alexander Mayorkas. But just as Esther and Mordechai pressed the King for the right for Jews to rise up and kill those who sought to kill them, today the Mitzvah remains to defends ourselves and our families.

The simple meaning of the word mitzvah is command. It appears in various forms with that meaning about 300 times in the Five Books of Moses. It generally refers to the Divine commandments to the Jewish people, things He wants us to do or not do.

Mitzvot (plural) are one of the ways we can connect to G-d. He tells us what he wants us to do and what he doesn’t want us to do….rightie-o! Sounds important to me.

But we’re just everyday ordinary people going about our lives, raising our families, working our jobs, taking care of children or parents, attending services, helping our neighbors and living life. What in there is heroic? Perhaps something you’ve not thought of. There was recently a fantastic article on Aish Nice Jewish Boys Carrying Concealed Guns and in it the columnist talks about having a talk with his Rabbi about carrying.

Whenever you are carrying a gun,” he advised me, “you are fulfilling several mitzvot, commandments. ‘Guard your life’ by protecting yourself, and ‘love your neighbor’ for protecting others. You’re not a Rambo. You’re a Jew engaged in doing important mitzvot.”

The Best Defense

Event Date: 14 Adar 5729 – March 04, 1969

The Talmud teaches, “If someone rises to kill you, rise up to kill him first.” The Rebbe explains that this dictum of our sages is the only way for Israel to deal with its enemies who seek its destruction.

The hope of achieving a measure of security through the United Nations, given the hypocritical attitude towards Israel which prevails there, is futile. Only when Israel demonstrates, with a show of force, that it stands ready to rise up and strike those who would attack it, can it prevent violent conflicts with its neighbors. If they are deterred from attempting attacks in the first place, there will be no need for actual use the force.

Note the date on that, March 4, 1969. Not much has changed. Israel can’t rely on other nations, any country is one corrupt, morally bankrupt politician or party from betrayal.

Haman, decedent of Amalek, whom King Saul was commanded to destroy, wanted to kill all the Jews, everywhere. Not just the ones in Shushan. King Saul did not destroy Amalek. Esther and Mordechai were decedents of King Saul. Haman they did destroy. Pharaoh wanted to destroy all the Jewish males, but not the females. In the past hitler, and in the modern day, Hamass and Fatah all call for the eliminations of Jews worldwide. It’s in their charters. The “innocent citizens” being used to prolong the war knew this when they voted for Hamass. Which pretty much shows you it has little to do with Israel, and everything to do with people since they call for the death of all Jews worldwide.

One of G-d’s gifts to Israel, the land, is Israel, the people. The everyday heroes. The ones that suit up and show up. Just like the armed citizens of their countries doing what they can to protect themselves and their families and everyday heroes. They are fulfilling mitzvot.

They tried to kill us, we prevailed, let’s eat!!

Political Theater and Popcorn

There is quite a lot going on in Israel right now. I’ve got a couple things to cover for you. One, you may or not have heard much about the Falestinian “Great Return March”.

Now this is all kinds of theater. The goal is to put a bunch of Falestinian civilians in front and they are suppose to break down the security fence and storm into Israel where several communities lie only moments away.

It’s a topic that has come up quite a bit on some of the news feeds I get. As I’ve pointed out about this great march of “Return”, it was the Arab leaders that told them to leave, not the Israelis. And so Hamass is doing one of their fav things, citizens as cannon fodder, or human shields. Grab some popcorn.

You will see some great performances. Probably good enough to rival Hollywood, that’s why it’s called Pallywood, where the ambulances take the rioters or terrorists to where ever they need/want to go. Haven’t heard of Pallywood? Well, first you need good make up artists

then a compelling story

It’s a MIRACLE! The feel good movie of the half minute.

If you are unfortunate enough to be in a place forcing you to watch cnn or mslsd or the like, you’ve no doubt heard about the innocent Falestinian “journalist” that was shot by the big bad Israelis.

Um, no. A report from The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center reveals….he was a TERRORIST! MAN, I did not see that plot twist coming! What’s more? Eighty percent of the Falestinians killed have been TERRORISTS! It’s like a Twilight Zone thing or something. Well, not everyone is fooled, Abu Mazen accused Hamass of “only selling illusions, trading in suffering and blood.” Huh, you’d think if Abu Mazen knew those rocket scientist at cnn or mslsd #fakenews would figure it out. It’s weird, it’s like they want to be fooled. I wonder if there is a “Invasion of the Talking Head Snatchers” movie or something? “Stepford Talking Heads”? But their rocket scientists, they’ll tell you how smart they are.

People think that most Israelis are armed and can defend themselves. Nope, biggest nope ever. You see a lot of guns on the street because of the military and those in the military but off duty. One article I recently read was talking about the strict gun control in Israel. How they are “trained”, can’t buy some of the more “deadly” guns available at Walmart, can only buy so much ammo per year. Bet that cuts into practice for proficiency. You have to show a “need” to have a gun. Luckily for Israel the illusion exists there could be a gun under every blade of grass. And perhaps when Moshe Feiglin is Prime Minister it will be. But I have to wonder, if those pieceful Falestinians knew they were going to be met by a bunch of armed pissed off Kibbutzniks and citizens shouldering some of those “more deadly weapons in Walmart” just how eager they would be to break that security fence even if they did overrun and evade the IDF.

But back to speaking of rocket scientists.

Perhaps you’ve heard of a few missiles floating around? Israel hits 50 Iranian targets in Syria after Al Qods fires 20 missiles at IDF Golan positions

And Iran is a problem, we all knew it. Well, almost all of us knew it.

Except Ganja for brains barry.

And then, The Mossad did their “thing”. The got out a lot of documents, about 11,000 of them, from Tehran on Project Ahmed, the Iranian nuclear program which Bibi revealed to the world in a broadcast saying basically, Iran lied.

WOWZA, I would think that would be shocking! But, to the world “leaders” naw, nothing to see here folks, move along. EU Foreign Policy Chief Frederica Mogherini said so, she said Iran complied. Frederica and barry really need to quit the hearty partying and listen to their opponents. Except barry sent them lots and lots of money, so maybe they aren’t opponents. Because Iran admitted they lied as well as forbidding the inspection of certain areas.

The article referred to comments made by Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s Atomic Agency, who said during an interview with IRINN TV in Iran on August 22 that his country can return to its pre-deal enrichment level in only five days, indicating Iran has breached the JCPOA and stockpiled prohibited nuclear components.

Earlier this month, the Middle East Media Research Institute published a full translation of Salehi’s comments, showing that the situation is worse than originally estimated by experts likeas former International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors David Albright and Olli Heinonen.

This is the tone in which cnn #FakeNews covered the revelations,

Russia stood by the current deal, rejecting any push to update or change the JCPOA. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom said Netanyahu’s presentation was exactly a case for keeping the deal in place, because it provided for inspection and monitoring of Iran’s nuclear program and, if needed, sanctions.

And what about one of the central accusations of Netanyahu’s presentation, that Iran lied? It was a talking point he hit over and over, making for easy sound bites and compelling television.

Well, that didn’t surprise anyone either.

“Everybody knew that they lied. There’s nothing new about that,” Lewis said flatly.

“The Iranians had a nuclear weapons program. We knew this,” agreed Fitzpatrick.

Lewis added: “We already knew the outlines of the [Iranian nuclear] program in great detail, and all this did was color it in, sometimes in pornographic detail.”

Orwellian. They lied, so we need the agreement so they won’t lie. Huh, wow. Last year even Germany knew. German Security Officials Reveal Iran Still Working to Become Nuclear Power. Seems most of the world “leaders” know they are being lied to and a fine with it. They are annoyed President Trump is pulling out of it, and reinstating sanctions meaning no more money out of barry’s “stash”. Moshe Feiglin of Zehut has a pretty brutal assessment of it. But he is right, The Israelis have to decide if they want to win.

Uninstalling obama

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The traitor John Kerry, the #KetchupHeiress is so desperate to salvage his and barry’s legacy he is going behind everyone’s back and engaging in shadow diplomacy. Why isn’t cnn and msnbc #FakeNews covering this like they did Michael Flynn?

Oh goodie, John Kerry is here, we don’t need to worry.

Totally NOT a Bomb

 

 

 

 

 

I read a magazine article that pointed out the hypocrisy of Demoncrats demanding more gun control to keep their kids safe, while pushing for the Iranian nuclear deal which endangered Israeli children. Well, Demoncrats are good at that sort of hypocrisy.

But no worries, the UN will be there to keep things calm. U.N. To World: You Have No Human Right to Self-Defense. Thwarted by the demise of its global gun ban treaty, the United Nations declares the human right of self-defense null and void

Uh oh.

The “Peace keepers” flee

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oy Ve Vay.

I would say the Mossad uncovered a lot more than just the proof that the Iranians were lying about their nuclear program. I would say they uncovered the total apathy that the European leaders have to the one Jewish state being annihilated. Do you wonder how the Mossad pulled that one off?

Anything to declare?

אש –Thoughts on Tisha B’Av

The 9th of Av this year was observed on Tuesday, the saddest day of the year, with plenty of reason. The following is from Chabad.

The 9th Day of Av (the 11th Jewish month) is first mentioned in the book of Zechariah 7:3.  One of four Jewish fast days, it commemorates dramatic national catastrophes (related to the destruction of Jerusalem), in an attempt to benefit from history by avoiding – rather than repeating1 – critical, moral and strategic missteps.  It concludes the 21 days of predicament and lamentation, which began when the walls of Jerusalem were breached by Nebuchadnezzar (1st Temple) and Titus (2nd Temple), launching a seven-week period of consolation, ingathering and renewal.

There are many major Jewish calamities are commemorated on the 9th Day of Av:

* Unlike Joshua & Caleb, the other “ten spies/tribal presidents” slandered the Land of Israel, preferring immediate convenience and conventional “wisdom” over faith and long term vision, thus prolonging the wandering in the desert for 40 years, before settling the Promised Land;

*The destruction of the First Temple and Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (586 BCE) resulted in the massacre of 100,000 Jews and a massive national exile;

*The destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem by Titus of Rome (70 CE) triggered the massacre of 1-2 million Jews and another massive national exile, aiming to annihilate Judaism and the Jewish people;

*The Ten Martyrs – ten leading rabbis – executed by the Roman Empire;

*The Bar Kokhbah Revolt was crushed with the killing of Bar Kokhbah, the fall of his Beitar headquarters south of Jerusalem in Judea and Samaria (135 CE) by Hadrian, who still afflicts us to this day by having changed the name of the land to “Falestine” as a poke in the eye to the Jews referencing their ancient enemy the Philistines. The plowing of Jerusalem, and the killing of 600,000 Jews by the Roman Empire;

*The pogroms of the First Crusade (1096-1099) massacred tens of thousands of Jews in Germany, France, Italy and Britain;

*The Jewish expulsion from Britain (1290);

*The Jewish expulsion from Spain (1492);

*The eruption of the First World War (1914);

*The beginning of the 1942 deportation of Warsaw Ghetto Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp.

This year was in some ways a more horrible than usual observance. It was just a few short days ago that the Knesset voted to take down the magnetometers. I touched on that in Neve Tzuf, but Caroline Glick does an excellent job of explaining how that decision was made. Turns out Bibi caved to….wait for it….the IDF and Shin Bet. No, I’m not kidding. This column is well worth reading. Losing and winning the Temple Mount. It actually makes a lot of sense if you remember the column Moshe Feiglin of the Zehut party wrote last year about “The Soldier Who Fired A Defense Minister”. It appears some of the people at the top levels in the IDF attended the John Kerry school of military studies. School motto “The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.”~~George Orwell

So let’s take a quick look at that “sacred” tenet often referred to “Status Quo”. This data comes from this week’s episode of Walter’s World with Walter Bingham. This episode he had two security experts on, one of them is Alan Baker, the former Israeli Ambassador to Canada. The topic of the show is what is the status quo? Meaning what does the term itself mean.

Originally, the status quo began in the 19th century with the Turkish Ottoman Sultan who issued a decree that involved seven holy places in Jerusalem and Bethlehem and affected only Christians. It gave priority to the Orthodox. Then in 1967 when Israel won control of Jerusalem in a war it did not start a new status quo arrangement was made. Israel decided to remove the Israeli flag, army units and Rabbi Shlomo Goren from the Temple Mount and give control back to the wafq-kos. Because administering the site brings in income for them, it’s another reason they want it. Then the Chief Temple Rabbi approved Jews being sent to the Kotel to pray instead.

So about this sovereignty, Abu Mazen claims they have sovereignty, Israel claims they do. No one has had sovereignty since the Ottoman rule ended in 1922. The Jordanians didn’t have sovereignty when they took control of it by hostile take over either. Only Pakistan recognized Jordanian control, the international courts and the U.N. never did. The status quo was an informal, non-binding arrangement to enable the day to day functioning. Israel was in control after it took over control from Jordan and extended it’s laws and administration over all of Jerusalem. While it guarantees freedom of access and worship, issues of sovereignty were never mentioned. The same laws apply in Jerusalem as do Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva. The peace treaty with Jordan made no mention of the status quo, and Jordan did not ask. Israel has FULL responsibility for security. The status quo NEVER regulated security, it regulates day to day events, like prayers. Even if you take the lowest U.N. (necessary) opinion of Israel, that they are “occupiers”, that Jerusalem is occupied territory, according to the laws of occupation, and the Hague rules of 1907 it would be Israel’s duty to maintain the public order and security. That is the opinion of International law as well.

So, how did Tisha B’Av go this year on the Temple Mount? Well, according to another one of my favorite programs, Temple Talk, it was…amazing. Rabbi Chaim said he arrived at 0610 and there were already hundreds of Jews lined up waiting to visit through the one gate non-Muslims are allowed to use. There had been speculation and trepidation that after the shameful caving of the Knesset and Prime Minister Netanyahu that the pieceful Falestinians would riot or incite violence because when they’ve done that in the past, the police reward them by shutting down the Temple Mount to……the Jews. But this year, this year was different. Very different. There is speculation that it’s the new Police Commissioner. The TT show said the police now greet you, it tends to be the same crew and they are polite and encouraging. They want everyone that comes to get to go up on the Temple Mount. The TT hosts said they were expecting the wafq-kos to really be following everyone closely and up in their faces, but it didn’t happen. The police kept the wafq-kos at a distance, there were very few muslims on the Temple Mount and the ones that were there were not allowed to cause problems. While no open prayer was allowed, the police did an outstanding job of maintaining order. The hosts of the show said that there is a Spiritual upheaval and renewal afoot, and everyone knows it, that it’s been building for decades. As it turns out, 1,263 Jews, an unprecedented number visited the Temple Mount this Tisha B’Av this year. I saw in another report the wafq-kos also said it was unprecedented, as well as unacceptable. The Israeli police have shown the way. It is possible to maintain principles, order on the Temple Mount and not cave in to terrorist demands.

I saw a movie recently, in a theater. A real one. I don’t go to many/any movies usually. I don’t think they make very good movies any more, and I’m not inclined to give my money to actors/actresses that will use it to further their bully pulpit and denigrate my values, culture and self-defense rights.

But there was a good reason I went to this one. It was made in 1977, so not a new movie. It’s called מבצה יונתן or Mivtza Yonatan. It’s about the raid on Entebbe that happened on 4th July 1976. An Air France plane was hijacked by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Falestine. There are some interesting points I’d like to bring out. One, the movie was made only a year after the event. Two, the movie was pro-Israel and pro-IDF. While it was an Israeli made movie, do you think such a thing would happen today? I don’t. Then there were some of the lines that were said in it that struck me. One was when the doctor that was on board asks one of the German female terrorists “Why? Haven’t we done enough to the Jews?” She answers they are fighting for world freedom, they aren’t fighting the Jews, they are fighting the Imperial Zionist. Another line is when Sayeret Metkal begins to plan the potential rescue options. After Yoni comes back from a meeting with the powers that be, Yitzak Rabin was P.M. at the time, his staff asks him what happened and the remark is made nothing will happen because their government will never go for it because of world opinion. After the Jews have been separated out from the other passengers one of them asks a male German terrorist what he hopes to accomplish with all this. He says the world is dirty and it needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. That the Israelis stole Falestinian land and used German money to do it. And the last line is two newspaper reporters that are waiting in Israel reporting the events. One says to the other that if the Jews give in, no one will be safe, there will be an epidemic of sky-jacking. Now, I know these are all lines in a movie, but the female German Terrorist sounds like a modern day spokesperson for the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement. I think the male German terrorist is a bit confused, if German money was used, what was “stolen”? Not all the terrorists were German, some were pieceful Arabs. And despite this, Rabin signed the Oslo accords. He didn’t learn, and things have been worse since. And despite knowing that was the Falestinians and their supporters have been doing for a very long time, Bibi still caved. He didn’t learn either.

And what was the fallout from the “world”?

From Wikipedia

The United Nations Security Council convened on 9 July 1976, to consider a complaint from the Chairman of the Organization of African Unity charging Israel with an “act of aggression”. The Council allowed Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Chaim Herzog, and Uganda’s foreign minister, Juma Oris Abdalla, to participate without voting rights. UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim told the Security Council that the raid was “a serious violation of the sovereignty of a Member State of the United Nations” though he was “fully aware that this is not the only element involved … when the world community is now required to deal with unprecedented problems arising from international terrorism.” Abdalla, the representative of Uganda, alleged that the affair was close to a peaceful resolution when Israel intervened while Herzog, the representative of Israel, accused Uganda of direct complicity in the hijacking. The US and UK sponsored a resolution which condemned hijacking and similar acts, deplored the loss of life arising from the hijacking (without condemning either Israel or Uganda), reaffirmed the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all States, and called on the international community to enhance the safety of civil aviation. However, the resolution failed to receive the required number of affirmative votes due to 2 abstentions and 7 absences. A second resolution sponsored by Benin, Libya and Tanzania, that condemned Israel, was not put to the vote.

Western nations spoke in support of the raid. West Germany called the raid “an act of self-defence”. Switzerland and France praised the operation. Representatives of the United Kingdom and United States offered significant praise, calling the Entebbe raid “an impossible operation”. Some in the United States noted that the hostages were freed on 4 July 1976, 200 years after the signing of the US declaration of independence. In private conversation with Israeli Ambassador Dinitz, Henry Kissinger sounded criticism for Israeli use of US equipment during the operation, but that criticism was not made public at the time. In mid-July 1976, the supercarrier USS Ranger and her escorts entered the Indian Ocean and operated off the Kenyan coast in response to a threat of military action by forces from Uganda.

I never did like Kissinger. But the point is, not much has changed has it? The Falestinians are terrorist, a majority of Israeli Jews believe at least half of the F.A. residents are terrorists or support terrorism a new study shows. Israeli/Jewish life appears to be cheap to the world. The world gets it’s panties in a twist when Jews defend themselves be it in Entebbe or the Temple Mount.

But while the Temple still has not been, I hope and pray Rabbi Chaim and Yitzchk Reuven are correct and there is a spiritual awakening afoot, that the Temple Mount really will stay “In our hands”.

At the start of the movie Operation Yonatan, Yoni is training “The Unit” to rescue hostages from a skyjacked plane. The movie is in Hebrew, but it has subtitles. The command to enter the plane simultaneously through multiple windows was “אש” “esh”, meaning “fire” because they were going to commence firing upon gaining entry to the plane. Those men were willing and able to put boots to windows and boldly enter and take control for the safety and very lives of those held hostage by terrorists. That I think my friends, is the attitude we should have. We should be willing to put boots to the barriers that separate us from those people, places and things held hostage by old, timid, outdated, erroneous or terrorist beliefs or threats. Not necessarily with guns and RPGs, but with courage, knowledge and conviction in our hearts and our minds.

I will leave you with this beautiful, beautiful Tisha B’Av movie made by the Temple Institute in Jerusalem. It’s only a couple minutes long.
