Israel Gedoilim ... Ehud Barak and Parshas Shlach!

 

Let's start with this week's pasha! Parshas Shlach!

וישלח אתם משה ממדבר פארן על פי ה' כלם אנשים ראשי בני-ישראל המה

"Moshe sent them (the meraglim) from the wilderness of Paran at Hashem's command, they were all distinguished men; leaders of the Children of Israel"

Read that pasuk above, over and over!

 The meraglim were chosen by Hashem!! 

Wow!!!!!!!! That's right! 

Let me repeat that, the meraglim that brought the Jews into the mess we have today, were the Gedoilei Yisrael, hand chosen by none other than Hashem Himself!!

What does that tell us?? 

By the way, the ones that supported Korach in his rebellion were none other than the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin were chosen by Moshe himself! 

ויקמו לפני משה,ואנשים מבני ישראל חמשים ומאתים נשיאי עדה, קראי מועד אנשי-שם

"They stood before Moshe with 250 men from the Children of Israel, leaders of the assembly, those summoned for meetings, men of renown" 

I know that you all do "shnaim mikra" you are all familiar with the above pasukim! But I ask you to read those words very slowly so that it penetrates in your very neshama! 

Much ink has been spilled trying to decipher and understand what happened! But what is 100% true and everyone agrees is, that being chosen by Hashem Himself or by Moshe Rabbeinu himself, is no guarantee that they won't become Rashaim and Apikorsim! We see that many times in Tanach!

This week, the week that the entire Jewish world reads the parsha of meraglim, two things happened! 

A former Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, a leftist stooge, a leftist instigator together with a bunch of other Israeli former generals besmirched on foreign soil the Jewish State of Israel, writing an OP-Ed in the New York Times, defaming the Jewish State.

Ehud Barak, doesn't know what Parsha this week is, nor does he care! 

But the Torah was written for people who open a Chumash and learn it!

I wrote yesterday about  what the damage words coming out of the mouths of Gedoilei Yisrael can do! 

I am sure that those  Leaders believe that there are no coincidences! 

And therefore it is no coincidence that Israeli Gedoilim flew on Parshas Shalach, to Chutz Le'aaretz ,the parsha of the meraglim, and bad-mouthed the Jewish State. Well! You are thinking, NOOOOOO! They were bad-mouthing the Supreme Court's ruling! 

I don't have any issues if they would have criticized the Court, in Israel itself, but they did this in Fakewood!, on foreign soil on tumedikie soil, And they not only besmirched the rulings, which I can understand but they went after them personally. 

Let's go back to the meraglim. 

Moshe Rabbeinu gives them instructions:

וראיתם את הארץ מה-הוא, ואת העם היושב עליה החזק הוא הרפה המעט הוא אם-רב

"See the land...how is it? and the people that live there, are they strong or weak? Are they few or numerous?"

What do the meraglim answer Moshe about this specific instruction on their return?

They didn't answer him on all the points, they didn't answer whether they were "few or numerous?"

What they did say is very strange! 

אפס כי-עז העם 

"But ..... the people that live there, are powerful!

The Ha'emek Davar says that the meraglim used the word "AZ" in the context of " עזות פנים "saying in effect that they were "Chutzpedik" 

And that was Loshon Hara!!!!! 

What? ....Loshon Hara? Weren't they talking about a bunch of murderers? Amalekites! 

Yes!!! 

They were talking Loshon Hara against who?? The Amalekim! Weren't we supposed to wipe them out?

Yes! But the Amaleikim were living in Eretz Yisrael at the time and if you talk against people even if they are Amalakeim, that live in Eretz Yisrael, that is in fact Loshon Hara! The meraglim were just supposed to come back with answers to the instructions that Moshe gave them, saying that they were "chutzpadik" is not part of the instructions! 

We must be careful of how we speak about residents of Israel, especially in a time of war where our enemies want to destroy us, and especially if we are in a position of leadership! 

Gedoiliei Yisrael speaking even about the Israeli Courts in Chutz Le'aaretz during a time of war, is not helpful and they must do what they preach to us, to watch what comes out of the mouths!

Amidst Longest War in Israel 43 Brave Souls Make Aliyah ... Kol HaKovoid

 

Biden looks like a basket case in shocking debate performance — He can’t continue on

 

It’s a good thing for Joe Biden that the debate wasn’t held in Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater. The audience would have given him the hook and hooted him off the stage.

That’s how bad he was. 

Our president is not fit to serve. Forget concerns about how old and infirm he would be after a second term. 

He’s a basket case now. 

Biden took the debate stage looking like he just escaped from a wax museum and spent much of his speaking time chewing his words before trailing off. Several times he confused millions with billions and ended one incoherent sentence by saying “we finally beat Medicare.”

Huh? 

The leader of the free world doesn’t look well enough to have a driver’s license or dress ­himself. 

Confused old man

*Donald Trump:* "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence and I don't think he knows what he said either".

 

So how bad was it? Here’s a quote on Biden on a question on Medicare. 

“Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat Medicare.” 

Does that remotely make sense? 

Trump’s response: “Well he’s right. He did beat Medicaid. Beat it to death.”

DEMONRATS IN FULL PANIC MODE AFTER BIDEN HORROR SHOW

 

There is a “very aggressive panic” throughout the Democrat Party following the first presidential debate Thursday, according to panelists on CNN.

Many commentators agreed that President Joe Biden’s demeanor caused “damage” for his party ahead of the election in November. Questions were again raised about the president’s health early into the night, and some progressives called for Democrats to pick a different candidate before voters head to the polls.

Joy Reid on Biden’s debate performance: People texting with her were “very concerned about President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak.”

“This was a game changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” said John King, chief national correspondent for CNN.

“It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now,” he continued. “It involves party strategists. It involves elected officials. It involves fundraisers. And they’re having conversations about the president’s performance, which they think was dismal, which they think will hurt other people down the party in the ticket, and they’re having conversations about what they should do about it.”

CNN TRASHES JOE: “Biden answers in alot of cases were not coherent. It was deeply problematic. There was real damage done that can not be undone.”

CNN’s Abby Phillips said that she agreed with King’s takeaways and that the “panic” she was receiving from members in the Democratic Party “is not like anything that I have heard in this campaign so far.”

CHUCK TODD: “Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting … you saw it before your eyes!”

CHUCK TODD: “That’s [Biden’s] his performance after five days at Camp David!? That’s AFTER rest!?”

Demented Ehud Barak Commits Treason Writing Op-Ed Against Israel In antisemitic New York Times

 

Even in the wake of the horrific massacre of Jews in Israel on October 7th and more significantly, the shocking surge of antisemitism and hatred toward Israel since then, some Jews still haven’t learned the obvious lesson to stay united as the non-Jews are not our friends.

A group of six left-wing Israelis decided to renew their divisive pre-October 7th tactics, writing a New York Times opinion article calling on the Biden administration to rescind their invitation to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to deliver a speech to Congress.

The group includes ex-prime minister Ehud Barak, the most failed prime minister in Israeli history who withdrew IDF forces from Lebanon, bringing us to the current precarious security situation in the north, and former Mossad head Tamir Pardo, who told the Associated Press in Sep. 2023, that “Israel is an apartheid state.”

They wrote in the libelous article that inviting Netanyahu is a terrible mistake” and his speech “will not represent the State of Israel and its citizens, and will reward his scandalous and destructive conduct toward our country.”

They also claimed in the article that Netanyahu is “the main obstacle to ending the war and returning the hostages.”

“Inviting Mr. Netanyahu will reward his contempt for US efforts to establish a peace plan, allow more aid to the beleaguered people of Gaza and do a better job of sparing civilians.”

“Time and again, he has rejected [US] President Biden’s plan to remove Hamas from power in Gaza through the establishment of a peacekeeping force. Such a move would very likely bring in its wake a far broader regional alliance, including a vision to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is not only in Israel’s interest but also in the interest of both political parties in the United States. Mr. Netanyahu constitutes the main obstacle to these outcomes.”

“His supporters in Israel will be emboldened by his appearance in Congress to insist that the war continue, which will further distance any deal to secure the release of the hostages, including several US citizens,” it adds.

“Giving Mr. Netanyahu the stage in Washington will all but dismiss the rage and pain of his people, as expressed in the demonstrations throughout the country. American lawmakers should not let that happen. They should ask Mr. Netanyahu to stay home.”

Israelis Fed Up with Leftist Anarchists Have Declared "War" on Them!

 

Major Shay Kallach

Major (Reserve) Shay Kallach, a former F-16 pilot and founder and chairman of the Netzah Israel Movement, on Thursday declared victory over two mayors who had declared a general strike in their municipalities, keeping out citizens who were looking for service. Both mayors folded, according to Kallach, when they were threatened with personal lawsuits for declaring illegal strikes.

The strikes in Ramat HaSharon and Pardes Hana-Karkur were supposed to be part of the anarchist/fascist “Day of Warning,” which included blocking traffic on major national arteries during morning rush hour, to cause rank and file Israelis anguish and financial ruin

“The most important thing we must learn is this: force will be answered with force, and this is what will stop the anarchy in the streets,” Kallach tweeted Thursday morning.

“Only wanton anarchists are capable of harming the spirit of the people during a war and we will not let them,” declared Kallach, adding:

“We call on the entire national camp to unite under the following principles:
1. A personal lawsuit will be weighed against the directors of any public company that strikes, on the grounds of damage to shareholders.
2. Any public authority that strikes will risk a personal claim against its managers and decision-makers.
3. Any business that strikes will be boycotted by the national camp. Our purchasing power is the biggest in this economy.
4. Purchasing should be enhanced this Thursday, especially in businesses owned by IDF reservists who took an active part in the war.
5. Those who can instruct their company’s purchasing managers to concentrate their procuring especially on this Thursday – God bless you.

“The people of Israel have suffered enough years from a lordly tyranny. Following the Kaplanism and the military coup attempt of ‘Brothers in Arms,’ this nation has awakened and started walking, and it won’t be possible to stop it. Remember – nations have always overthrown dictatorial regimes. This is the way.”

Of course, by “dictatorial regimes,” the reservist fighter pilot meant the Supreme Court and the rest of the permanent government of Israel.

SHOCK IN BEIT SHEMESH: Chassid Arrested For Allegedly Spying For Iran

 

A 24-year-old chassidish avreich who lives in Ramat Beit Shemesh Daled was arrested overnight Wednesday for alleged involvement in a serious case of espionage for Iran.

According to the neighbors, a large number of police forces raided his home in the early hours of Thursday morning, arresting him and taking him for an interrogation.

He was brought before the court early Thursday afternoon for an extension of his arrest.

The shocked neighbors told Chareidi media outlets that they are sure there must be some mistake as the suspect is a serious avreich from a known family. One neighbor told Chareidim10 said that the chassid is a computer expert and perhaps unknowingly worked for someone with ties to Iran.

When Gedoilei Yisrael Use Hurtful Words!

 

by Scott Kahan

Avtalyon said, Sages: Be careful with your words… (Avot 1:11)

אבטליון אומר, חכמים, הזהרו בדבריכם 

On Tuesday, the Israeli High Court of Justice issued a ruling that the government must begin drafting eligible Chareidi men into the IDF. The Court also ruled that “in the absence of a law, funding cannot be made from state coffers for yeshiva students who were not legally exempt from service." The ruling is legally sensible, as the law that offered blanket exemptions to yeshiva students expired last June, and the Knesset has not legislated a new law in its place. The government did pass a cabinet resolution immediately before the law expired, telling the IDF not to draft yeshiva students for ten months; the Court, however, ruled that this resolution exceeded the government’s power, and was accordingly null and void. In fact, the Knesset could vote on a new exemptions law that would replace the law that expired last year, but given the political climate following October 7th, it is unlikely to pass. For that reason, there is currently no legal mechanism that exempts yeshiva students from military service - and accordingly, the Court told the government that it was obligated to implement the law. You may agree that Chareidim should be drafted (in whole or in part) or you may disagree. However, it is difficult to argue that the Court’s decision was unreasonable. Israel is a state in which the law is taken seriously; the Supreme Court’s decision, while obviously troubling to many, is unquestionably a sensible interpretation of the laws currently on the books. Later on Tuesday, Rabbi Dov Landau, widely considered to be the senior leader of the Lithuanian Chareidi community, said that,

“The courts - all of them together - cut off the basis of the budget for yeshiva students and kollelim - they cut it off with anger, wickedness, and malice. They hate those who learn Torah… Look, they hate and want to destroy the Torah world in the Land of Israel… I repeat: the evil authorities in the Land of Israel and all the haters from the courts, and all the ‘wicked among the wicked’ there who hate the Torah and those who learn it with a terrible hatred that cannot be described; and they are going to destroy everything, they cut the budget and the budget they cut needs to be filled…” I have been vocal in saying that the system of blanket exemptions is unfair, unreasonable, and untenable. I believe that some of those who are in yeshiva should be given military exemptions, but the current system needs to be overhauled. I know that there are many people who strongly disagree with me. I think they’re wrong.  I am convinced that they are advocating policies that are ruinous for the State of Israel. I believe that their interpretation of the Torah is very mistaken, and that, in the words of Rabbi Nachum Rabinovitch zt’l, “‘Torah of truth’ does not tell us to hide out in the beit midrash, but instead helps us to understand that if we do not protect ourselves, our land, our birthplace - no one else will do it for us.” The people who think otherwise are hurting us all. Yet I would never say or think that those who believe in blanket military exemptions are “evil authorities.” I would not dare to suggest that those with whom I disagree are all motivated by hatred, or despise the State of Israel, God forbid. Nevertheless, this is the language which Rabbi Landau used on Tuesday night -  language, unfortunately, which is far from unique among the Chareidi leadership, as well. I certainly don’t question Rabbi Landau’s massive Torah knowledge, and I have every reason to believe that he lives a righteous life dedicated to Torah and mitzvot. But I still cannot accept his declaration that the High Court of Justice was acting “with anger, wickedness, and malice.” How can we sit quietly when he describes the courts and political leadership as “evil authorities in the Land of Israel and all the haters from the courts, and all the ‘wicked among the wicked’ there who hate the Torah and those who learn it with a terrible hatred that cannot be described” - all for the crime of interpreting the law in a reasonable manner? Even should someone disagree with their legal reasoning, Rabbi Landau went much further and brutally denigrated not their opinions, but their character and motivations - something which Rabbi Landau could not possibly know. Why should we care what he says?

Because thousands of people look to gedolim like Rabbi Landau for guidance, and model their own actions on their behavior. When leaders speak in a manner which is beneath them, and insult the character of people with whom they disagree, they normalize such discourse and further corrode civil society. When this takes place in a Torah community that values deliberate speech and condemns slander, the tragedy is compounded. When I taught Gemara in yeshiva, I was fixated on the diyuk - that is, the careful reading of every word and sometimes every letter, knowing that Chazal and the great Rishonim wrote in such a careful manner that every letter was meaningful. The Vilna Gaon was reputed to have read the first eight chapters of the Ramchal’s classic Mesilat Yesharim and said that he could not find a single unnecessary word. The words of great sages are taken very seriously; thus they have the responsibility to speak with care, honesty, and precision. If only some of the great sages of our own time would take this lesson to heart. And if the sweeping statement that these judges are “the ‘wicked among the wicked’… who hate the Torah” was indeed said with care, honesty and precision? Then our problems are even worse than I imagined.

DIN: Having issues with Website

Mordechai Hartman a Harvard Law School Graduate Living a "Fat & Happy" Life in the US Thinks that life in Israel is all "about Schwarma"

 Below is his stupid disgusting post, read some of the comments in response! 

Just an observation. The Israeli Rabbanim that flew in a private Jew that cost over $170,000 for the trip are collecting $100 million dollars! Well let me point out something, the Israeli government allocated over $325 million dollars, that's dollars, last year alone! So how far is this $100 million going to go? 

Nachum Lamm

His bio says he lives and works in New York ("a city he loves"). He lists his education as Harvard Law School ("Doctor of Law," which is a mistake no one who went to law school should make) and a, um, "Masters" from Lakewood and a "Bachelors" from the Philly yeshiva.

So he's living fat and happy in America doing venture capital and banking (odd choice for a law school graduate, but whatever) and has the chutzpah to sum up Israeli life as "schwarma, being a tech founder or even serving in 8,200."

Of course, most Israelis can't afford schwarma these days, but he doesn't seem aware of that. Any random soldier who served in 8200 (*not* "8,200") has probably saved more Jewish lives than he ever will. (And very few soldiers get to serve in 8200.) And criticizing tech founders (and praising poverty) is an odd choice for someone who works deep in finance and certainly doesn't learn as much as he did when getting his "masters" from Lakewood. (And very few Israelis found tech companies.)

Do you want me to go on? Because I can go on. Every line is a goldmine of ignorance, and I won't even start on the pictures.

Unless their strategy is to rely on a miracle, I do not understand who they expect to defend or support the country.

a Charedi governed country? how will that work? they will mandate that the minority non-Haredim have to go to the army? Also didn't the Sephardic Chief Rabbi say they will all leave? Will they govern from abroad?

Shlomo Zwickler:

 Abhorrent and downright disgusting.

 "More to life than Schwarma..." said the shmuck for whom Israel is nothing more than Disneyland and Torah dictums (that is ALL Torah dictums, not just the one's he chooses) are but theoretical fairy tales. Is this Mordechai Hartman character just an ignoramus or a certifiable apikores? Or maybe he's just a descendant of the meraglim who didn't die off in the desert after all?
