Thank G-d for Israel

Some events in history are so clear and powerful, they can be identified immediately. World War II, Soviet Aliyah to Israel, the Election of 2016.

Other events are so sparse and spread out that only historians can look back and label them. The First Aliyah Wave, the Decline of Rome, the Information Age.

We are in the middle of one such event, and at the initial stages of another. And I am not referring to the IDF destroying Iranian military sites in Syria, but to a more longterm development.

There is not a major city in Israel where French has become the official "fourth" language behind Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Throughout Netanya, Jerusalem, and even Anglo dominated Raanana, newly opened French Bistro's dot the landscapes.

The intensity of anti-Semitism in France has only grown as families, the elderly, and more innocents are butchered by soulless barbarians who drink our blood. They turning a slow drip of French immigrants into a steady stream of new Israeli citizens.

There are still hundreds of thousands of Jews in France. One official projects that over 250,000 French Jews will move to Israel by the end of the next decade.  It's ironic that a horde of Syrian Arabs who hate Israel have been displaced from their homeland only to bolster the population of the Jewish State.

Historians may look back and call 2005-2030 the Era of French Aliyah.

The Next W200ave

Is America 2018 like France 2005?

In the past week, two of our brothers have been beaten in broad daylight in New York for simply dressing Jewish. Not a month goes by that a Jewish Synagogue, Cemetery, or individual is desecrated. Like in France, the trend is intensifying, not reversing.

People are angry. They hijack real problems like racism, sexual assault, and corruption of the wealthy to express their rage. Some of their anger on these issues is certainly justified, but a lot of it is projecting their rage at life itself. The media help them along. This collective feeling of helpless desperation only adds more heat to Pressure Cooker America that can blow at any minute.

Americans may start moving to Israel in a slow drip. Today, there is prosperity in America and the frustration is somewhat muted. If the nation were to enter into a recession with widespread unemployment like in 1990, 2003, or 2009, Katy bar the door. The slow drip can gush forward like a dam whose walls were breached.

Historians may call the period 2015-2040 the Era of American Aliya.

What Do I Do Now?

If you are living in New York, Chicago, or Florida and are no longer at ease inside a Synagogue or JCC, start to learn Hebrew. Go to Israel every vacation and look for the part of the country in which you see yourself happiest.

Go to meetups whenever you come here. Learn the skills that make you most employable in Hi-Tech Startup Nation. Take my course at succeedinisrael.com. If you invest 10 hours a week in a skill that Israel requires, in 3 years you will have amassed 1,500 hours, virtually making you an expert. You can gain experience by freelancing on Fivver, taking a part time job, or working pro-bono to pad your resume.  

You will be pleased to know that you can enjoy the same standard of living here that you can anywhere else. If there were ever a such thing as a golden exit, this is it.

Natalie Portman’s True Intentions (a look back)

In refusing the Genesis Prize, Mrs. Portman, at age 36, announced her bid for congress. She grew up in New York and made her name in California. Both of these states are not merely Democrat, they are ultra-liberal progressive. Now that Hollywood actors are becoming candidates, the Harvard educated Portman may decide to throw her tiara into the ring.

She owes it all to President Donald J. Trump who set the precedent of going straight from Tinseltown to Talking Points.

By internationally humiliating Israel, she is crowning herself heir apparent to Bernie Sanders.

It's shameful that she feels she has to throw us under the bus to advance her personal ambitions. It's scary that for any Democrat to advance, they have to throw us under the bus.

Wasn’t there another party in recent history that measured success by the number of Jewish hides a candidate amassed?

Portman, it’s not worth it. Go back to acting.

Every week you can expect me, David Ben Horin, to be writing this column, Thank God for Israel. Writing and fighting to give my every morsel of wisdom to the good people who love my beloved country. Even to the not so good people who should love my country, it's never too late to see the light. Check out http://www.succeedinisrael.com. 

In 1335, 1,200 Jews of Toledo, Spain, were massacred during a Christian and Moslem mob attack on the Jewish section

On This Day In History 25 Iyar, in 1335, 

613 Years Before the Zionist State Was Established, Moslems massacred 1,200 Jews in Spain.

The Fraudulent fake history, that Satmar promulgates, is that Jews lived in peace with Arabs before the State was established.

These lies were written by the founder of Satmar, R' Yoel Teitelbaum in his book "Al Hagilah."

This is just one example of the outright lies and the re-writing of History that the Romanian Gypsies keep reporting who believe the rants of the Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels, who famously said that "if you repeat a lie over and over it will eventually become the truth."

New Square & Monroe Have the Highest Poverty Rate In The Entire USA Yet Have the Highest Real Estate Prices

A report published by financial news and opinion website 24/7 Wall Street gives New Square the dubious honor of being both the poorest town in New York State and the town with the highest poverty rate in the nation.

According to the report (http://bit.ly/2G1WaPU), the median household income in New Square is $21,773, $38,968 less than the median household income in the state.

Kiryas Joel came in a close second to New Square, with median household incomes of almost $5,000 higher. 

Only four towns on the state by state listing of poorest towns in the United States had median household incomes lower than New Square:  South Tucson, Arizona, East Cleveland, Ohio, Brownsville, Florida and Ville Platte, Louisiana.

Poverty rates in the study were defined as an annual income of less than $25,100 per year for a family of four, with New Square’s 70 percent rate far surpassing Centerville, Illinois’s 50.1 percent poverty rate, the second highest in the nation. 

New Square also had the highest rate of SNAP recipients in the country with 77.1 percent of the village’s residents relying on supplemental aid programs to feed their families.

According to the report, towns with a significant population of low income residents typically have relatively low housing prices. New Square was the exception to that rule, with median housing prices higher than that of the state average.

The report was based on data from the United States Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, with social and economic factors based on five year estimates for the period of 2012 through 2016. 

Among the areas studied by the report were percentage of adults with high school and college diplomas, local poverty and SNAP recipient rates and median home values. 

Not Only Belz Rebbitzen Surrounded Herself With Men, Satmar Rebbitzen Did The Same!

In the Satmar Newspapers they photoshopped out the rebbbetzin in this photo!

The rule amongst the Satmar hypocrites is that there must be a mechitzah between men and women even in restaurants .... but that only applies to the regular Szlub Chassidim, but it doesn't apply to the Holy Rebbitzen, the wife of R' Yoel Teitelbaum, founder of the Gypsy Romanian Cult.

Trump Kills "Ezra Friedlander's" Iran Deal

Guys, remember when the Kapo Ezra Friedlander tried to convince his own brothers and sisters that Nadler's vote for the murderous Iran Deal was a good thing?

Remember when the Satmar Rebbe, R' Aron Teitelbaum of Monroe sent letters to US congressmen that they "stab Israel" and vote for the Iran Deal which basically gave Iran nuclear capabilities to destroy C"V, Israel?

Well, Trump, a goy, destroyed the deal, shutting up these Jewish Reshaim!

Finally: 

A US president is pushing back on Iran’s dangerous and growing power.

President Trump’s decision Tuesday to withdraw from Team Obama’s badly flawed Iran deal and reimpose sanctions sends a clear message to the mullahs: The jig’s up.

As Trump noted, the accord left Iran free to develop nukes within a decade, even as Washington unfroze billions in Iranian assets and lifted sanctions that had left the regime gasping. And it let Tehran keep developing ever-more-deadly and longer-range missiles.

More, it encouraged Iran’s inflaming of conflicts across the region and expanding its influence at the expense of US allies.

Now US sanctions will return in coming months, leaving companies in Europe and elsewhere with the choice of doing business with Iran or the United States. Other measures against the country’s Central Bank will make it tough to do business even with companies that are still willing.

And sanctions related to insurance will make it far harder to ship Iranian oil — Tehran’s chief source of foreign money.

This, when the regime already faces mass protests over the fact that it devoted the cash freed up by the deal not to domestic needs but to its military and its foreign adventurism. With its currency already collapsing, can it risk fresh confrontation?

Indeed, while Tehran talked tough in the runup to Trump’s announcement, its immediate reaction was not to restart its programs or turn inspectors away, but to seek talks with Europe, Russia and China about preserving the deal.

French President Emmanuel Macron, meanwhile, called for negotiations to strengthen the deal enough to bring the United States back in — by addressing all the flaws Trump has flagged.

This, when the Obama crew had insisted this was the best accord anyone could get — though it denied inspectors full access to Iran’s military sites and, again, left it free to openly resume its nuke work in a few years.

Far better to wipe the slate clean now, and begin working to stop Iran before it grows stronger.

“America will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail,” said Trump. Hear, hear.

But now he’ll need to follow up — not just with restored sanctions, but with a full-court press to roll back Iran’s march of evil.

Palestinian President Claims Jews’ Behavior Caused the Holocaust Just Like the Va'Yoel Moshe

Reading the report (below), I have to believe that the bastard Abbas must be learning the Va"Yoel Moshe, authored by R' Yoel Teitelbaum, founder of the Satmar Dynasty.

R' Yoel Teitelbaum, wrote that Jews that were Zionists were the cause of the Holocaust! 

I'm not making this up ..... according to R' Yoel's bizarre theory, the Zionists colluded with Hitler ym"s to murder six million Jews!!!

The Zionists at the time had no army and no country.... but that didn't stop the Satmarer Rebbe from spreading this idiotic theory..... and his chassidim are still buying this as I type this. 

And get this ..... Zionists living in Europe were also murdered by the Nazis, because the Nazis didn't differentiate between a Chassidishe Jew wearing "vaaseh zoken" and a Jew wearing a Kipah Serugah, the ovens consumed everything thrown in.

So why is Abbas who is parroting the Va'Yoel Moshe, an anti-Semite???

Isn't he only repeating the words from the Satmar book, verbatim?

In yet another long and disoriented rant on Monday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas took his antisemitic sentiment to a new level.

Abbas told a Palestinian National Council session that the Jewish people — not antisemitism or the Nazis — caused the Holocaust, through their “social behavior,” The Times of Israel reported.

According to Abbas, the mass genocide of more than six million Jews was a result of the Jews’ “social behavior, [charging] interest, and financial matters.”

Abbas also claimed that Israel is a European colonial project, that European Jews have “no historical ties” to Israel, and that “those who sought a Jewish state weren’t Jews.”

Denying Jewish identity and Jewish rights to any part of Israel are other forms of antisemitism that Abbas frequently embraces.

In a January 14 address to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Central Council, Abbas spent more than two hours ranting about the history of Zionism in a conspiratorial fashion. He claimed that Jews moved to Israel solely for ideological and colonial reasons, not because of persecution — “even during the Holocaust.”

In the same speech, he went off on a blatantly antisemitic tirade that attempted to de-legitimize any Jewish presence in the state of Israel: “The significance of Israel’s functional character is that colonialism created it in order to fill a specific role; it is a colonialist project that is not connected to Judaism, but made use of the Jews so they would serve as pawns…”

These antisemitic comments are reminiscent of his Holocaust-denying doctoral thesis, which grossly underestimates the number of Jews killed in the genocide and focuses on an unsubstantiated relationship between Zionists and Nazis.

While trying to present a moderate face for years, recent developments show that the Palestinian president has become a hostile and outwardly racist leader, who continues to alienate the Palestinian people.

Satmarer Chassidim Arrested for Fraud in Bet Shemesh

The Minhag in the Zionist State of Israel, "miyamim kadmonim shel Dovid ben Gurion, is that if you want to open a Shul, the Zionists provide the land for gratis...

So the Satmarer Aronim followers went and negotiated from the "cursed" Zionists a huge piece of land in Bet Shemesh to build a Bais Medrish and got the land for absolutely nothing as per the "cursed" law of the Zionists.

But they noticed that they could build over 100 homes on this land, why should they build a Mokon Torah if they can make millions building homes, so they bribed the Zionists Bet Shemesh Construction inspectors and started building regular homes.

They all got arrested!

Police arrested ten senior officials from the Beit Shemesh municipality in an early morning raid on Sunday. Authorities ransacked Beit Shemesh city hall and conducted searches in suspects' private homes.

Police said they are investigating senior Beit Shemesh officials over suspicions of bribery and breach of trust. The probe centers around allegations that officials converted a building destined for use by a Yeshiva to a private residential complex.

The investigation is a being conducted in cooperation with the Tax Authority and the Jerusalem District Attorney's office.

The Israel Police said that it would "continue to investigate and expose improper processes, in a conflict of interest, and to seek and reach any place where there is suspicion of public corruption that harms government and normative citizens."

Why I love Israel .......

Driving up the Number 2 Highway, I noticed a sign straight ahead. It was of a big slice of Cheesecake and it said, "Happy Shavuot!" It's only a few weeks away and the bakeries want to get a head start on sales. I can still smell the smoke from last night's bonfires. I am not sure if the majority of people know what L'ag Ba'Omer, even Shavuout is all about, but they sure do celebrate them. It's not just a part of our religion, it's a part of our nationality.

Every Purim the skies light up with fireworks. It's as if we defeated the Persians yesterday. Now that we are locked in a fight to the death with modern day Persia, Purim comes to life. We celebrate like the actual events happened yesterday.  

We are a nation like any other, mixing religion into our national identity. This wasn't accomplished by the nationalist right: it was the vision of the secular socialist Zionist leadership who founded our country.

They modeled our flag after a prayer shawl. They declared our name Israel, making us the only nation on earth to incorporate G-d's Holy Name into our national title. They set our country in the Biblical Land of Israel, not Uganda. They declared Shabbat a national holiday and closed all government offices. The IDF was commanded to keep Kosher while David Ben Gurion was Prime Minister. 

The United States does the same. New Year's is at the beginning of January (the Christian calendar), and not Tishrei (Jewish) or Muharram (Muslim). January 1 is related the life of the central figure in Christianity. The holiday season in America starts with Thanksgiving, enshrined by President George Washington as, "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God", and concludes on Christmas.  

America is a Christian nation, and its "secular" traditions reinforce this. The same can be said for Canada, England, and Mexico.

So why not us?

In Israel, every Jew has the opportunity to feel comfortable in his own flesh by simply being an Israeli citizen. When he eats, it will most likely be at a kosher restaurant. He doesn't work on Shabbat or Festivals. Religious or not, he will know what each festival is. How else can he remind his boss why the office will be closed?
 

We are a nation where Jews wearing head covering are part of every walk of life, from the workplace to the war zone. We are a nation where a local sitcom had an entire episode dedicated to the politics of who is coming for Passover Seder – it was a two-parter! In the past 18 months, over 3 shows have aired about Haredim and their growing role in Israeli life.
 

Just like every other country, our religious identity is a part of our national identity. Because we are a free and diverse society, it doesn't get in the way of other religions. Muslims have no problems practicing their faith here anymore than they would in Christian America.

For over 40 years, my uncle, living in the Jewish wastelands of New York, was the organizer of the company Christmas party. 

Last winter I was asked to recite the blessings over the Hannukah candles for our company party in Netanya.

These small, everyday examples of being able to wear our faith on our sleeves in peace gives me immeasurable pride every time I am on the line with a client from overseas and they ask where I am calling from.
