become willful tools of those who wish to destroy the Jewish state
and bitterly oppose any expression of Jewish nationalism.
Some of them traditionally write for the New York Times."

Thankful Shiloh isn't Surrounded by Forests and Parks

The other morning, while riding to work in Kochav Hashachar, which is southeast of Shiloh, I took a good look at the view, at the land and lack of trees once we passed the small groves of olive trees and some vineyards just past Shvut Rachel.

on the way to Kochav Hashachar

entrance of Kochav Hashachar

Just outside of Shiloh



As you can see from the photos, it's the barrenness surrounding Shiloh and the communities to the east that saved us from the aishtafada.

If you remember, a few months ago, there was a fire started to the west of Shiloh which burnt down some olive trees. But since it wasn't near enough to any yishuv, nobody was in any real danger.

Gd willing, the rain will keep us all safe for awhile, and our government will wisen up and start executing Arab terrorists without trials. But that's another post...

Dumb Question: Voter Identity in USA, Easy to Cheat?

As you may know, I've never voted in American Elections. We made aliyah a couple of months before my first possibility. In those days, voting age was twenty-one 21. I turned the age in May, got on the boat late August, and Elections were in November. It never even crossed my mind to apply for an Absentee Ballot. And over the almost half a century since then, I've gotten no further than mulling over the issue.

Here in Israel voting is very organized and it's pretty hard to cheat, other than those who arrive with an Identity Card of a similar looking dead person who hasn't been registered as dead, or the same sort of thing with someone hospitalized. As long as nobody in the polling station staff realizes it or "squeals," it can be done.

wikimedia.org
Yes, in Israel we have Identity Cards, with pictures. Some of us have very old ones, which can be problematic, since we don't look much like the photos. That's why there's usually a lot of pressure on the staff in the Ministry of the Interior to produce new cards for many in the weeks before an election. 

In Shiloh and other small communities, there's pretty much always a neighbor on the "staff" who can easily vouch. Also, we're all sent notices telling us exactly where we are supposed to vote. And we must vote there. If there was a mistake by the clerk in the Ministry of Interior, which happens --such as sending someone to Shilat, rather than Shiloh-- one can get free public transportation.

There's no "absentee ballot/voting" in Israel. The closest is the voting by soldiers, diplomats stationed abroad, etc. And those ballots are in multiple envelopes to preserve secrecy. On the outer envelope is the name and ID number of the voter. After polling station votes are counted, then those envelopes are checked to see if that ID number had voted in person. If so, the envelope is voided, ripped, destroyed whatever.

Now, in the United States, there aren't required Identity Cards, and from what I've read, there is no longer an assigned place to vote. So how does it work? Besides just trusting people...

Aishtafada: Israel on Receiving End of Help/Aid

When my sons were teens they both volunteered in the local fire station, which in Hebrew is called כיבוי חילוץ Kibu'i Chilutz, Fire-Put-Out and Rescue. It's call that, because until pretty recently in Israel most homes are traditionally made of bricks and cement, so homes rarely burnt down. There could be relatively small electric fires in a home, but not the sort of scenes we've seen this past week during the aishtafada, when houses literally went up in smoke, since it has been getting more and more popular to build quickly with prefabricated materials, which also insulate better.

Periodically, late summer, early winter before the rains, there would be forest or park fires, but until the Arab terrorists began this new genre of terrorism, purposely setting fires by cities and villages, they never had to deal with such a phenomenon as a neighborhood going up in smoke and flames.

The fire departments here in Israel used to spend most of its time doing "rescue" jobs, like cutting through cars, trucks and buses which had turned over in accidents to rescue drivers and passengers.

This aishtafada, when Arab terrorists simultaneously lit fires in multiple locations, stressed and stretched the Israeli and IDF fire/rescue abilities beyond their capabilities. One of the miracles we've seen is that other countries came to our aid. Granted, from what I understand Israel had to pay for some of this assistance like the American which was from a private contractor, but the coordination of all of these different anti-fire services has been stupendous and miraculous.

Facebook Israel MFA

At the same time, troops on the ground managed to arrest some of the aishtafada terrorists, 37 suspected arsonists arrested, including 18 Israeli Arabs. No doubt that this isn't the end of the story, and they'll try again. Terror knows no boundaries... This is further proof that the Arabs, who are being called "Palestinians," sic, are not a nation/people deserving a state; they are psycho/sociopaths who should be banned and banished.

GUEST POST: Joshua chapter 13 verse 1

Joshua, chapter 13, verse 1 in Our Times
(a GUEST POST by Mr. Cohen)


In the Biblical Book of Joshua (chapter 13, verse 1) GYD
rebuked the prophet Joshua for failing to conquer the entire
Land of Israel for the nation of Israel. 

In the next five (5) verses, GYD tells Joshua exactly which
pieces of land remain to be conquered.

Every word and every sentence of the Biblical Book of Joshua
has been part of the Jewish faith for 33 centuries, and will
continue to be a permanent part of the Jewish faith forever.

The Babylonian Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 14A,
explains that ONLY prophecies that were needed for future
generations were recorded in the Bible. Since Joshua chapter 13
was recorded in the Bible, ALL generations of Jews must learn from it.

Furthermore, the Biblical Book of Ezekiel (chapters 44 to 46,
with classic Jewish commentaries) teaches that the messiah
will increase the size of the land of Israel by conquering more lands.

Ancient Rabbis taught that in the era of the messiah,
the land of Israel will include both sides of the Jordan River.
This is not something that we must do in our times,
but it will eventually happen in the era of the messiah.

The concept of giving away the land-of-Israel in exchange for peace
with Gentiles is NEVER mentioned in:
the Bible, the Jerusalem Talmud, Babylonian Talmud, the writings
of Maimonides, the Code of Jewish Law and its commentaries, or
any ancient Jewish book, because it is a gross violation of the Jewish faith.

500 American Indian nations gave away their land in exchange for peace. 
THE RESULT:
500 American Indian nations and their languages are long-extinct

Great Britain gave Adolph Hitler land (Austria) in exchange for peace. 
THE RESULT:
WWII and the Holocaust
_____________________________________________________________
If giving away land in exchange for peace is such a great idea,
then why don't the Arabs nations give away THEIR lands for peace?

Considering that the Arabs have more than 300 times more land
than Israel, they certainly have more to work with.

If creating a Palestinian State  is such a great idea, then why don't
the Arabs nations give away THEIR lands to create a Palestinian State
in Iraq or Saudi Arabia or Libya or Algeria?
 
Considering that the Arabs have more than 300 times more land
than Israel, they certainly have more to work with.
