Does The State of Israel Have The Guts?

Shiloh

To be a real "light unto all nations," a very nebulous subjective phrase, we the Jewish People and today's reborn State of Israel must be willing to do things other countries many not dare and even things that some Jews don't think are truly Jewish.

That's because so-called "Jewish Morality," sic, has been hijacked by concepts and ideologies far removed from Judaism and claim them as Jewish.

Liberalism and Democracy are not Jewish Values. They are modern western and European.

Judaism forbids us to "turn the other cheek," ignore attacks on us. The common practice here not to respond to rocket attacks on Israel if they didn't kill nor maim and caused no real "damage" cannot be defended according to Torah Judaism.

Making Torah Commandments more "modern," or PC-politically correct, was strongly condemned in the Bible. The Priest Aaron's sons were immediately executed by Gd for worshipping with a "strange fire."  And the first Jewish King, Saul, lost his kingship when he refrained from executing the Amalek king and killing all the cattle. Gd did not accept his excuse that the people wanted him to keep them alive for a big festive ceremony. There's no textual proof that the people made such a demand, and Gd's instructions weren't negotiable.

For the State of Israel to be a truly moral country, a "light unto all nations," according to Jewish Tradition we must separate from the ideology of the international Left, Gd willing.

This post is my reaction to the pain of the families who are still waiting for the Israeli Government to take effective steps to bring back their children's bodies from our immoral enemies.

LIKUD VS BEREAVED FAMILIES: A LOSE-LOSE SITUATION

Not All Refugees Deserve Our Help!

Extreme Left PM wannabe Isaac Buji Herzog has come up with another of his idiotic, dangerous headline grabbing proposals:

Israel must welcome Syrian refugees: Labour's Herzog
"Our people has experienced first-hand the silence of the world and cannot be indifferent in the face of the murder and massacre raging in Syria," Herzog posted on his Facebook page. Speaking at a panel discussion in Tel Aviv, he called on the government "to act toward receiving refugees from the war in Syria, in addition to the humanitarian efforts it is already making." (Yahoo News)

Duh?

Herzog can't actually believe that those Syrian refugees, who although they want to get away from their own awful government can be law abiding Israelis? Are the Arabs here in Israel peaceful, law-abiding and taxpaying etc?

Just because those Syrians may not get along with Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad does not put them in the category of the Jews who fled Hitler's Europe and other Jewish refugees over the millennia. There is also no connection to the Vietnamese refugees Menachem Begin invited to live in Israel when he was Prime Minister.

After the Lebanese war, Israel also accepted allies from South Lebanon whose lives would be in danger if they had stayed there. If you understand spoken Hebrew, here's the plea of a young Israeli-Lebanese woman from that community.

מכתב לבוז'י הרצוג מפליטי צבא דרום לבנון בישראל
תגובתה הנסערת של קסנדרה, בת למשפחת צד"ל מהצפון על רקע דבריו השערורייתים של יו"ר מפלגת העבודה מר בוז'י הרצוג לקליטת פליטים מסוריה: "איפה היית 15 שנה מר הרצוג ??, אנחנו כבר 15 שנה בארץ וטרם טיפלתם בנו, כיצד אתה יכול להיות אדיש לסבל של אלו שחירפו את נפשם למען המדינה? ולעומת זאת כל כך רגיש לסבל של הסורים, העוינים את ישראל ?!!! אבקש את תשובתך הכנה, אנא שתפו.

שראל ?!!! אבקש את תשובתך הכנה, אנא שתפו.

She totally opposes Buji's proposal. When it was posted on my facebook page, there were many comments bringing up further problems in Israel with his ridiculous idea. And don't forget that Mahmoud Abbas is also claiming to be in favor of it, although he has the most to lose, because they will support Hamas over Fatah any day.

And to show Buji's unabided hypocrisy and illogic, his Leftist Labor party is always claiming that poverty in Israel is climbing, so why welcome more non-Jewish anti-Israel refugees? We haven't solved so many of our own socio-economic problems? Israel is at present full of illegals who are taking over the poorer neighborhoods in the large cities pushing out and terrorizing Jewish residents. The crime rates in those areas are climbing.

True Jewish Morality demands that we first take care of our own and we aren't doing it. Are we?

Jewish Morality and the "Two State Solution"

Honestly, I think that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's greatest and most tragic mistake is his declared support for the so-called "Two State Solution." By doing so he has opened a deep cavernous pit of a Pandora's Box which endangers the continued existance of the State of Israel and takes what was once the policy of the Extreme Left and puts it Center-Right.

Now, our enemies have an easy tool to use against us with the official approval of the Likud Prime Minister. Obama: 'Difficult path’ toward Palestinian statehood. United States President Barack Hussein Obama is no friend of Israel but he's a passionate supporter of the Arab terrorists who are slated to administer such a country if it G-d forbid comes into being.

This week I was interviewed for an educational program (I will reveal more when the program is released to the public) about how such a scenario would impact on my life in Shiloh. The person in charge wanted his audience to hear from a woman and told me to try to give a personal, rather than political slant.

The institute putting this program together stresses what they consider "Jewish Morality," so I began by questioning the definition of Jewish Morality. Simply put, I disagree completely with their interpretation. Like too many Jews and Jewish organizations, this one embraces the idea that Jewish Morality means caring more for strangers/non-Jews than ourselves. They claim that this is a Jewish precept, and they strongly fanatically identify with what they see as "Palestinian nationalism" sic which they consider their responsibility to bring to fruition.

They unquestioningly support the "Two State Solution" and consider it sacrilegious to do otherwise. So my aim was to try to poke major holes in their basic belief.

Jewish Morality

I reminded them of the Talmudic Law which tells us that if we are in the desert with another person and have just one bottle of water which could save only one person, and both of us would die if we shared it, our instructions are very simple. The water is to be drunk only by us. We are commanded to save our life, yes, even at the expense of another person's death. This and this only is Jewish Morality! We are not to endanger our life for the life of any other!!! 

That means that it is against Jewish Law to "sacrifice for peace!"

All who recommend "sacrifices for peace" contradict Jewish Morality!

Another example to try to explain this is the story of King Solomon's Wisdom and the Two Mothers:

Two women gave birth at the same time. One had a live baby and the other's died. They fought over the live baby, each claiming that it was theirs. King Solomon suggested compromise. He would take the living baby and divide it in half, giving each woman half a baby. One woman accepted the compromise and the other refused, because she said that dividing the baby would kill it.
King Solomon then decreed that the second woman was the true mother, because she cared for the living baby and knew that dividing it would cause death.

The Land of Israel is a living being, and dividing it would destroy its present society. I have no doubt that G-d would not save the State of Israel if we do something so suicidal. Jewish History is full of cycles of destruction and exile. It would just happen again, and Redemption and the Messiah would be delayed.

The Jewish Morality in giving our enemies a state in our historic Biblical Homeland is as Jewish as Pinocchio's "Honest John" is honest.
