Hamas War

From a letter I wrote...

You're writing from Golus, Galut, punishment by G-d who expelled our People from Our Land.

Around 14 years ago, neighbors of mine did a short weekly vigil across from the Knesset with a sign that said something like "Only one million Jews in YESHA will bring peace." It was their reaction to Oslo, if I'm not mistaken. I used to go with them a lot. It didn't get any publicity, but their point was correct.

The Jewish Nation must vote with their feet.

One of the "innovations" to Judaism that Jesus made was that the mitzvot could be "in one's heart" and didn't need "action."

I was told that at Amona, the troops (sic security forces) had expected the demonstrators to flee at the sight of their superior physical force. They freaked out when the young kids would just walk up the them and politely ask "Why are you here?" "Why are you attacking us?" Their physical strength has a corresponding spiritual weakness, while the kids we raised are of the opposite proportions. On my way to Ofra that day, I was amazed/impressed to see young kids standing tall, politely arguing with soldiers and police.

To borrow a phrase "We shall overcome" with the help of G-d!


Remember that Nachshon didn't drown!
