Israeli TV News Campaigning Against Bibi


If you watch Israeli television news, you'd think that Israel was the worst country in the world. There seems to be street protests and riots all over all the time.

According to the news:

  • You'd think that Israel was the most racist country in the world.
  • The Israeli Government hires cruel, sadistic childminders.
  • Price of real estate can be controlled by the government.
  • Everything can be remedied by the government if the correct people are elected to the Knesset.
  • OBVIOUSLY IT'S BIBI'S FAULT!




I am using pictures of the so-called anti-racist protests to illustrate this post, because it's very clear that white agent provocateurs have been leading the movement/riots. They began with the death of an Israeli of the Jewish Ethiopian community by an off-duty policeman. The media has been ignoring the fact that all the evidence shows is that the policeman and his family had been in danger, and the death was totally accidental. The orchestrated violence, anti-police and anti-government acts did not come initially from the community. They are being led by white Leftists. Follow the money.

Although early childhood care, daycare centers have their problems, the solution is far from simple. Who's going to enforce better workers? Those loud, nasty-mouthed demonstrators? Around the country there's a terrible shortage of people willing to work as caregivers. It's hard work, and the pay is low. Even if there are cameras all over, how could that help? Who's going to look at the films? Men hoping to see breastfeeding mothers? And no matter how carefully the "authorities" are in supervising official daycare centers, there will still be people who prefer sending to the unofficial ones.

And lastly, for now, about the high price in housing. The principle is Supply and Demand, which exists all over the world. Some of the repeated news items I caught on television told of hard to believe housing rip-offs in Tel Aviv. In one case, what must be a humongous apartment was divided into fifteen 15 rooms, which people rented individually for an outrageous sum. To make it even less believable, they share the one kitchen. I can't really imagine anyone living like that; maybe this is office space. Besides that, nobody forces anyone to shell out large sums for small spaces, unless the people have the money and don't care about the space. That's what Supply and Demand is all about.

Every day and night, newscasts concentrate on how terrible it is to live here in Israel. Considering that we're having elections again in a few weeks, and it's no secret that the media hates Bibi, I'm convinced that they're working hard to galvanize the votes for anyone but Bibi.

Why is The Israeli Supreme Court Supporting Criminals?

A version of this article appears on Israel Blogger as Israeli Supreme Court Supports Illegals Over Citizens.

It's no secret that the Israeli Supreme Court has an agenda. And their agenda is of the extreme Left variety. The "justices" consider it their job to decide rulings according to their "moral compass," rather than the laws voted by the Knesset, Israel's legislature.

The Extreme Leftist Israeli Supreme Court has totally lost its legal and moral moorings in its rulings about the illegal migrants invading the State of Israel.
Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that illegal infiltrators cannot be detained indefinitely for refusing to be voluntarily deported. (Arutz 7)
The illegals have been invading Israel without work permits. They are breaking the law. They are criminals, and the Israeli Supreme Court is treating them as above the law. This is consistent with the philosophy of the Extreme Left here in Israel that sees these illegals as pitiful refugees and equates them with Jews who tried to flee the Nazi regime before and during Hitler’s rule. And they claim that welcoming the illegals is what Judaism teaches. Such a comparison shows no accurate knowledge of history and less of Judaism. They are being labeled as “migrants,” but the truth is that they aren’t really migrants.
mi·grantˈmīɡrənt/
noun
1. a worker who moves from place to place to do seasonal work.
These illegals seem to be here to stay. They like living in Israel, where salaries, general conditions, healthcare etc are far superior to where they came from what they are being offered as alternatives. Many are establishing families or bringing their families from abroad. Many now live in a poor neighborhood in Tel Aviv in such numbers that the veteran residents no longer feel safe.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri (Shas) on Monday morning spoke about his trip to south Tel Aviv and the attempts to solve the problem of the infiltrators by legal means..
Deri quietly visited Tel Aviv on Sunday evening, together with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon (Kulanu). The visit included the same areas Netanyahu toured publicly last Thursday – Neve Sha’anan, Levinsky Park and the Hatikva neighborhood.
“I have been on official trips to Tel Aviv in the past, together with Interior Ministry staff,” Deri told Kol Hai Radio in an interview. “But a night trip with the Prime Minister in Tel Aviv’s alleys brought Netanyahu and I to understand that we’re in a different country. It’s horrific to see how synagogues have become cafes.” (Arutz 7
Law-abiding Israeli citizens have gone to the courts to have the illegals taken out of the country, but the Israeli Supreme Court has defended the law-breakers against the law-abiders. This is the same court that has no compunctions about destroying the homes of Israeli citizens on the vaguest suspicion that the land may have been promised to an Arab by the illegally occupying Jordan over half a century ago. But when it comes to the rights of a Jewish community in Tel Aviv, suddenly the occupiers, the illegals have more rights.

The Supreme Court Judges weren’t elected by the citizens of the State of Israel. We demand true justice, not extreme Leftist ideology.

"Five" is an Awful Number of Murdered Jews

I had always liked the number five 5. My birthday is the 25 (5x5) of May, the fifth 5th month. I also have five 5 children, bli eyin haraa.

But yesterday five innocent Jews were murdered in two Arab terror attacks, and the number five is not looking so good. It's worse than tarnished; it's splattered with blood.

One terror attack was a stabbing by an Arab terrorist in Tel Aviv, and the other was a drive by shooting in Gush Etzion.
...A Palestinian who drove from the direction of the Kfar Etzion junction, machined gunned the cars, with an automatic rifle, before hitting a vehicle. Security forces surrounded the terrorist and arrested him......Earlier on Thursday, a Palestinian terrorist stabbed three people in south Tel Aviv, killing two of them and wounding another... (Jerusalem Post)
Are we supposed to be puzzled or warned by those two locations?

Tel Aviv and Gush Etzion-- until not all that long ago, both locations (the residents of them of course) felt supremely confident that they were not in danger. According to the wisdom of Tel Aviv, the Arabs only wanted land "conquered/occupied" sic since the 1967 Six Days War. That meant that places like Tel Aviv were immune, because in mind/mentality of the Israeli elite, Arabs could be convinced that they (the Israeli elite) are their allies in establishing a Palestinian sic state. And for the longest time, residents of Gush Etzion considered themselves much safer in the diplomatic sense at least, because they claimed a "consensus" of approval by successive Israeli governments that they would always be part of the State of Israel, unlike the Shomron, Binyamin or Hebron etc.

This recent so-called "Third Intifada" has proven these two myths to be lies. The percentage of deadly Arab terror attacks in pre-1967 Israel and Gush Etzion is very high, and I wonder if the residents and Israel's movers and shakers are willing to comprehend and absorb the bloody lesson the Arab terrorists are teaching.

The aim of the Fatah, Hamas meaning  PA-Palestinian Authority is the total destruction of the State of Israel replacing it with a Palestinian terror state. As far as they and their international supporters are concerned, there's no difference between Tel Aviv and Tel Tzion, Afula and Eli, Hebron and Hadera.

For the State of Israel to survive we must cease all support for a State of Palestine aka the "Two State Solution." And all of the Land still in Israel's hands must be fully annexed and put under full Israeli Sovereignty. The Death Penalty must be the only punishment for Arab terrorists whether they succeed in murdering or not. No more second chances!!!

No Historic Justification for Tel Aviv, but Shiloh on The Other Hand...

It has never made any sense to me for the insistence by Leftist Israelis and others all over the world that Tel Aviv should be part of the modern Jewish State but not Shiloh.

Enormous storage jug found in Tel Shiloh. Shiloh had been the first Jewish spiritual and administrative Capital of the Jewish Tribal Nation before the reign of King David who declared Jerusalem the Capital City.

Last week I was in the Israel Museum and went to the archaeology department to visit the enormous Biblical time jug discovered in Shiloh about thirty-five years ago. Periodically I like to touch base with it since its presence there reaffirms that even the most Leftists of the academic archaeologists recognize the historic existance of Shiloh during Biblical times.

This time I noticed a map that showed the cities of the Biblical era.



Shiloh is listed/indicated, just where I live today, but there is absolutely no Tel Aviv. Look carefully at the coast directly west of Shiloh. You can see the Yarkon River and far (especially when you take into account how people traveled then) to the south is Ashdod. You can also see Beit El, Jerusalem and Shechem.  But when the Jewish People functioned as a nation thousands of years There was no city in the Tel Aviv/Jaffa area.

Jewish Historical Legitimacy is to the very cities and areas "Medinat Tel Aviv," Israeli the Leftist establishment keeps insisting must go to Arabs.

And even more ironic or hypocritical of the Leftists is the fact that Tel Aviv was established as the Jewish suburb or neighborhood of Jaffa, which was an Arab city at the time modern Zionists began to flock to the Holy Land. Jaffa Port was necessary for the Zionist commercial, industrial and political development. They invented Tel Aviv as a non-Arab city.

Shiloh Hakeduma, Tel Shiloh
Shiloh, on the other hand, was totally empty of inhabitants, Arabs or others, when seven young Jewish families and a handful of yeshiva students moved here in January, 1978. There was no conflict with anyone besides the Israeli Government, the total opposite of Tel Aviv's history. All that was found in Shiloh were the Biblical artifacts from the time the Mishkan, Holy Tabernacle was in Shiloh for pilgrimage and worship, plus the remains of synagogues, churches and a mosque. In a very significant way, this is totally reminiscent of the condition Shiloh was in during the time of Joshua's conquest and settling of the Holy Land after wandering the desert for forty years.  There was no need for a military conquest for Shiloh. No war over Shiloh is mentioned in the Bible. Joshua was able to bring the Jewish People into Shiloh and establish it as the Capital without any opposition. It remained the Jewish Capital for about four hundred years.

To summarize:

  • If, as according to the Left, we have no Jewish rights to Shiloh, then we have even less rights to be in Tel Aviv.
  • If we have the right to have a Jewish/Zionist city in the Tel Aviv area, then we certainly have even more right to be in Shiloh!

What do you think?

Mobs of Arabs on Jewish Buses

There has been a lot in the news about whether or not Arabs should be allowed to travel in Jewish buses. There are Arab buses, at least in the Jerusalem area, beautiful new white ones of all sizes. It's rare for Jews to go near them even when it would be convenient. But the Ariel buses are a different story. Yesterday when I traveled from Tel Aviv's Tel Hashomer Hospital back to Ariel in order to get home to Shiloh I found out just how many Arabs travel on the same buses as Jews.



It would be no exaggeration at all to estimate that easily three quarters 3/4, yes, that many, of the passengers on the 86 from Belinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah, where I had changed from the 87 from Tel Hashomer, were Arabs.

There aren't security checks at the "barrier" in the direction of Ariel, unlike towards Petach Tikvah/Tel Aviv etc. And, unlike the "city line" Hizma "barrier" at the Jerusalem border, security inspectors do enter the buses going towards the shefela, coastal area.

By the time we entered Ariel, the bus was almost totally empty. The only passengers were Jews, and I was one of the maybe two who got off at the last stop by the university.

And just in case you are wondering. I sat in the front seat. There was a Jewish woman who sat next to me until the Rosh Ha'ayin stop. Then an Arab, who was clearly a laborer, about 50 years old sat next to me. We each sat as far apart as possible. That was fine until he fell asleep. I had to nudge him by knocking my bag onto his to wake him up and stay away. And, yes, I'd do the same to any man.

B"H, thank G-d nothing unpleasant happened to me, and I didn't hear of anything while traveling. But as a woman of my age, I'm not a target.

Tel Aviv, יש"ע זה כאן YESHA Zeh Kan! YESHA is Tel Aviv!!

Of all the slogans ever put out by Israel's pro-Jewish Rights in All of The Land of Israel aka "the Right," my favorite has always been:

 יש"ע זה כאן YESHA Zeh Kan! YESHA is Here!!


Absolutely nothing summarizes the situation better than that simple statement. There is no real difference between Tel Aviv and Tel Zion, Gush Etzion or Gush Dan, Ma'ale Gilboa or Ma'ale Levona, Eli or Eilat. If anything we Jews have a richer, more extensive and easier to prove ties to YESHA than to Tel Aviv or Eilat or any of the other places the Israeli Left (and today's Center) take for granted the Arab enemy will allow to remain in the State of Israel after negotiations for the establishment of a State of Palestine sic.

At least ten Israeli settlers were stabbed Wednesday
morning on a Dan Line 40 bus on Begin Road in Tel Aviv near the Maariv
Bridge. (emphasis mine)

Leftist Israelis (and others) who live in pre-June, 1967 Israel try to distinguish between themselves and those of us who live in Land liberated in the 1967 Six Days War. They totally ignore the frequently proven fact that our Arab enemies make no distinctions, none at all. For them we are all the same. They aim to destroy the entire State of Israel. We can have no peace with them.

 יש"ע זה כאן YESHA Zeh Kan!

Arab Terror Attack in Tel Aviv by Illegal Arab Resident Punish the Facilitators!!!

Arab terror attacks can happen any place, Paris, Tel Aviv...

Tel Aviv stabbing
Assi Divlinsky, Magen David Adom

And this morning's terror attack took place in Tel Aviv by an Arab who has been living in Israel illegally.
The assailant is a 23-year-old man from the West Bank city of Tulkarm, illegally residing in Israel, police said. 
The suspected terrorist stabbed at least nine people on the 40 bus line in Tel Aviv  near the Maariv junction around 7:30 A.M. on Wednesday. (Jerusalem Post)
This isn't the first time an Arab terrorist who was living and/or working illegally in Israel used the opportunity to try to murder innocent Israelis. And there are many, many other Arabs living and working illegally in Israel. Their employers and landlords must be fully and strictly prosecuted by the law. If the punishment is light, then the law must be changed to charge them as accessories to the crimes. Whoever has been employing this terrorist must be charged as if he/she is also a terrorist, attempted murder. The same goes for the landlord who owns the apartment where the terrorist ahs been living and the same for all the flatmates.

Zero tolerance for terrorism and facilitating terrorism!!

The Real Danger to Israel

It seems like Arab terrorism against Israelis, Jews and non-Jews alike considering that one of the recent victims was a Druse, has again become a daily occurrence.

The IDF soldier, Almog Shiloni, who was stabbed by an Arab terrorist in Tel Aviv earlier today has succumbed to his wounds.
The attack happened around 12:15 PM on the bridge near the train station entrance on Hagana Street.
The terrorist from Shechem (Nablus) tried to steal the soldier’s weapon. During the altercation, he stabbed the soldier multiple times. (complete article n Jewish Press)

Palestinian stabs three people at hitchhiking post outside Alon Shvut settlement; attack comes hours after IDF soldier stabbed and critically hurt in Tel Aviv. (Complete article Jerusalem Post)
Yesterday there were two fatal attacks, a stabbing in Tel Aviv and a stabbing in Gush Etzion. Yes, Tel Aviv isn't immune to Arab terrorism. As I have said many times, the Arab Terrorists aka Palestinian Authority want Tel Aviv more than they want Shiloh. Stabbing is a much more personal type of killing than the recent fad of running over innocent people at crosswalks and bus stops.

As awful and dangerous as these Arab terrorists and their terrorism are, they aren't the cause of the problem to the State of Israel. They are the symptom.

The cause is the misguided Israeli "peace ideology," the claim that under the right circumstances, the right "deal" we can, in exchange for Land liberated in the 1967 Six Days War, make peace  with the Arabs.

The nicer we get, the more we offer the Arabs the more violent and dangerous they become. There won't be peace for us until we truly practice "zero tolerance" for all levels of violence against Jews and we state without any weakness that there will never be a Palestinian State and the level of autonomy the Arabs now enjoy will be reduced.

There must be automatic death penalty for all Arab terrorists and security forces must execute terrorists on the spot. Do not let them live and enjoy legal rights, education, medical care, room and board (prison) paid for by Israeli citizens.


  • The State of Israel must expel all the ambassadors of countries that have recognized Palestine.
  • And we must transfer our embassies from capital cities of all countries that don't recognize Jerusalem as our capital. 
Only simple reactions like these will show that we mean business. And only policies like I've listed will bring us true peace.

The Threat From Syria

Thank G-d the IDF managed to liberate the Golan Heights during the 1967 Six Days War.  Without that crucial piece of land which overlooks and now protects northern Israel it's frightening to think of what could have happened to the State of Israel.  Whenever I hear/read of Israeli politicians and wannabes proposing negotiations  with Syria re: the "future of the Golan Heights," I feel sick.  How dumb and foolish these headline grabbers are...

Even though Israel defeated Syria twice, in 1967 and during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Syrians still unabashedly dream of destroying us
On May 10, Assad's leading Palestinian ally, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, said it was organizing attacks on Israeli positions in the Golan. PFLP-GC, sponsored by Damascus and financed by Iran, said it was recruiting Palestinians for combat missions. "The leadership of the PFLP-GC announces that it will form brigades to work on liberating all violated territories, first and foremost the occupied Golan," PFLP-GC said. "The Popular Front's leaders have opened the door to all Syrian citizens to volunteer in the formation of the resistance."
The Syrians not only "dream" of destroying Israel from the north; they are developing their military with Tel Aviv as their main target.
Screenshot/YouTube
Damascus has put a number of advanced weapons on standby to strike Israel, should Jerusalem hit targets inside Syria again, the UK’s Sunday Times reported Sunday.
According to the report, satellite images show Syria has readied its stock of Tishreen missiles for use against Tel Aviv.
We in Israel must keep that in mind.

Unfortunately, there are too many Leftists in positions of per and influence in Israel, and they get dangerously Pollyannaish about our enemies.  They believe that everyone has their "price" and "peace" is something you can buy with flattery and Land.  Due to their ideological orthodoxy, they consistently misinterpret our enemies.
According to the official, Israel has "underestimated" Assad's strength and the inner life force of the Syrian regime.
Currently, there are differing opinions within the defense establishment about what to expect in Syria and what outcome for its northern neighbor would benefit Israel.
The opinion that the fall of Assad and the assumption of power by the rebels would be good for Israel has become less popular recently, as it has emerged that the infiltration of extremist Jihad and al-Qaida elements is deeper and wider than was originally estimated.
These mistakes are nothing new.  That's how Syria and Egypt caught us totally unprepared on Yom Kippur 1973 when they simultaneously attacked from the north and south.  For the first few days of the Yom Kippur War, the State of Israel was in serious trouble of being destroyed.  I consider our victory then the greatest victory we ever had.

We can't just depend on miracles to save us.

Reflecting on Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv was established to be the antithesis of Jerusalem.  It was founded by secular Zionists as a "suburb" of Jaffa.  It's flat, sandy with the smell of the ocean and pollution, while Jerusalem is hilly, rocky and spiritual.

Jerusalem is Israel's political capital and Judaism's holiest city and location, the Temple Mount, Har HaBayit.  Tel Aviv tries to be some place else, like Europe.  There's an innate distortion in imitations, which is why these reflections are a perfect way to picture Tel Aviv.

I photographed these before our Shabbat in Tel Aviv.

Gaydamak is taking his campaign to Tel Aviv


Arkadi Gaydamak is definitely running for something.


He's taking his "rescue mission" to Tel Aviv. The movers and shakers won't be able to avoid him, and even better, they won't be able to avoid the fact the Israel is being attacked by Arabs from Gush Katif.
At least I hope they won't ignore it.
It really bothers me, frightens me that the residents of Sedrot are so quick to leave their homes. When there were Jewish communities in Gush Katif, pre-Disengagement, they were also bombarded by the Arabs shooting missiles at them, but they wouldn't budge.
