Trump Signs Order Sanctioning International Criminal Court

The Tzaddik, Trump!  How is there even one Jew hating this Oheiv Yisrael ...... 

Any Jew hating Trump should check if they are from Zera Avraham Aveenu...

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on people involved in the International Criminal Court's (ICC) investigation into alleged US war crimes in Afghanistan Thursday.

A senior administration official said the investigation is "being pushed forward by an organization of dubious integrity," Reuters reported.

The order authorizes US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to freeze assets of ICC officials involved in the investigation. In addition, Pompeo will be authorized to block these officials from entering the US.

President Trump also cited the ICC's war crimes investigations against Israel when signing the order.

"Despite our demand, the tribunal has also politically persecuted Israel, our ally," Trump said.

DIN .... Message from the Parsha.....of Spies .... of the Meraglim

In Eretz Yisrael, the parsha that will be read this Shabbos is Parshas Shlach, the parsha that discusses the spies...
the meraglim....

When the meraglim return from spying on the Canaanites ..they say

"לא נוכל לעלות אל העם כי חזק הוא ממנו"

"We cannot go forward against those people, they are too strong for us"
and when it seemed apparent that the meraglim didn't want to go to Eretz Yisrael, 
Hashem tells Moshe:
" אכנו בדבר ואורישנו ואעשה אותך לגוי גדול ועצום ממנו"
"I will kill them with a plague and annihilate them. then I will make you into a greater, more powerful nation than they"

Moshe trying to advocate for the Jewish people replies to Hashem:

ושמעו מצרים כי העלית בכחך את העם הזה מקרבו.. והמתה את העם הזה כאיש אחד ואמרו הגוים  ..וגו' מבלתי יכולת ה' להביא את העם הזה אל הארץ אשר נשבע להם וישחטם במדבר 

"And what will happen when the Egyptians hear about it? 
They will say ...You have brought this nation out from among them with Your great power, ...to kill the entire nation like a single man... 
The nations of the world will say when they hear the news ..that G-d was not able to bring this nation to the land that he swore to them so he slaughtered them in the desert"

Question:

After hearing from Hashem that He wants to slaughter the Jewish people .... 
(keep in mind that the Jewish population stood 600,000, not counting women, children and anyone under 20 or over 60....which means that millions would have died in this plague...)

Moshe argues: ...... Forgive them... for 

 " the nations will say that G-d didn't have the power to bring them to Israel so He slaughtered them?

What about replying to Hashem.....

"How could You do something like this ...killing millions in one fell swoop with a plague?" 

Wouldn't that have been a solid argument? 

Isn't that what WE would argue....? 

Even a child understands how precious one single human being is ...and certainly our Creator Who created them ...

 especially since Jews are considered ... בנים למקום ..... Children of G-d...

 G-d Himself referred to the Jewish people not too long before this incident בני בכורי ישראל ..... "My firstborn are the Jewish people?"

So why did Moshe ignore this argument and instead argued

 "What would the nations say?

Once we are G-d forbid gone...Who cares what the nations will say?

If you want to maybe say that Moshe's argument was also a  pretty good one  .. 
then he could have added the argument "What would the nations say"  after stating the obvious stronger defense..

 "How can You annihilate millions of Jews?"

Moshe himself in a previous incident, the sin of the Golden Calf, the incident of the "Eigal Hazahav" did just that... 

In pleading on behalf of the Jewish people he asks:

למה  ה'' יחרה אפך בעמך אשר הוצאת מארץ מצרים בכח גדול וביד חזקה

"O G-d! Why unleash Your wrath against your people, whom You brought out of Egypt with great power and a show of force?"

Moshe first asks G-d why He would destroy so many lives?

but,  then adds:

למה יאמרו מצרים לאמר, ברעה הוציאם להרוג אתם בהרים ולכלתם מעל פני האדמה 

"Why should Egypt be able to say that You took them out with evil intentions to kill them in the hill country and wipe them from the face of the earth?"

So why didn't Moshe at  the sin of the meraglim come with the same approach as he did by the Eigal, which worked out pretty well for the Jewish people? Why take a chance on an approach that might not work.....?

What was it about the meraglim that Moshe felt that he couldn't bring up a plea from a humanitarian perspective?

Going back to our parsha, the parsha of the spies, you can ask an even a stronger question:

It seems that Hashem responds positively to Moshe's argument 

of "What would the nations say"....?

Because Hashem responds:

סלחתי כדברך

"I have forgiven because of your words"

Rashi explains:

'בשביל מה שאמרת, שיאמרו מבלתי יכולת ה' 

" (I forgive them ) because of your argument ... "that the nations will say that Hashem lacked the ability etc. ?"

What's going on here?

Moshe totally ignores the humanitarian response .. 
"How could you kill millions?"

 instead uses an argument of "What would the nations say" and to our shock ... 
Hashem actually likes this argument and responds favorably?

The Lubavitcher Rebbe in his Sefer "Lekutei Sichos" Volume 23 in Yiddish .... tackles these questions.... and has a whole different and much deeper approach....... if you are shtickel scholar you will love his perspective.

I have a much simpler answer that seems very obvious to anyone who looks carefully at the differences of why Moshe used a  humanitarian  approach at the sin of the Golden Calf ... 
and why Moshe abandoned the humanitarian approach to Hashem on behalf of the Jewish people at the story of the spies...

The sin of the Golden Calf was ... a grave sin ... of course..

It was a sin against G-d... worshipping a creation of G-d, an inanimate object ....rather than worshipping G-d himself .......

Moshe begged Hashem not to destroy the Jewish people ... for two reasons 

One on humanitarian grounds : Why unleash your wrath on the people that you saved?

and Two: What would the Egyptians say?

It seems that when it came to His own Honor ... Hashem relinquished and responded positively ...from a humanitarian perspective as well....

The sin of the meraglim was much worse... much worse...

It was led by  Gedoilei Yisrael..... the spies were hand chosen by Moshe ... he knew them on a personal basis ... ....they were not only spies ... they were leaders of the Jewish people........everyone looked up to them....everyone respected them.... "Daas Torah"
Moshe didn't send the shaven Shul president that was a businessman.... he sent the Rabbi! he sent the Kollel guy!

This sin was not a one time sin.... it was a continues one... 
since it came from the very top, the cream of the crop, it was they that instilled this hate against Eretz Yisrael into the very souls of their flock ...

and this unfortunately remains to this very day .....

See what Hashem says:

עד אנה ינאצוני העם הזה ועד אנה לא יאמינו בי בכל האותות 

אשר עשיתי בקרבו 

"How long shall this nation continue to provoke Me? How long will they continue to not believe in Me? despite all the miracles that I have done among them?

Notice Hashem's choice of  words ...

 עד אנה by the word "provoke" & again עד אנה 
by the word "belief".... 
this "provocation" is continuous .... this "not believing" "in my miracles" is continues ... even today there are gedoilim that say that the miracles that Hashem did for the Jewish people in Israel .. are not miracles...

Because this Loshon Hara from the meraglim unfortunately affected the soul of the Jews ...

and because it affected the soul, it affected their "belief" and it unfortunately continues to affect even leaders of the Jewish people!

Yes,,,,, even Gedoilei Yisrael, even Roshei Yeshiva, even Rebbes...

 that's why Moshe couldn't bring himself to argue a defense of this terrible sin on humanitarian grounds .....

it would not have worked  ... and it didn't, the 600,000 died!

The sin of the "eigal" was a one time sin... it wasn't embedded in the soul of the Jewish people, it wasn't continues ... Hashem didn't say:עד אנה  .... it may have damaged Am Yisroel to a certain degree but it wasn't permanent ... they could move on ... look forward to go to the promised land .....
they could be forgiven on humanitarian grounds...

But the grave sin of hating of Eretz Yisrael penetrated every Jewish soul in the worst possible way because they couldn't "unhear" the Loshon Hara because it came from the lips of those they respected,, those they revered... Gedoilei Yisrael .... 
Moshe believed that this was it ... how could they move on from this? Where would they go? 
they not only rejected the gift that Hashem granted them but came to hate it ...

....now... Moshe couldn't use this as a defense ....

the only defense Moshe could use was ... 
"What would the nations say?" 

Hashem liked that argument ... he liked the fact that Moshe saw 
that the humanitarian argument would open a whole new ball of wax ..... and would never be accepted..
Hashem appreciates a leader that knows when not to push the envelope...

Hashem did forgive the Jewish people but not that generation....that generation, the 600,000 had to die ...they could not be part of the destiny of the future of the Jewish people.......
there was no forgiveness for them .... 
just like there is no forgiveness for anyone that badmouths Eretz Yisrael.. 
Yes you can be a Roshei Yeshiva spreading Torah and the word of Hashem, you can be a Rebbe of thousands, Yes you can be an "askan" and do chesed all the time, yes you can start all kinds of Chesed organizations... 
and that's great, helping a fellow Jew  ...
but if you hate Israel and those who live there and badmouth them ..then you will have no part in its destiny..

AIPAC turns on Israel

Who knew that Bilam's prediction: "עם לבדד ישכון" the Jewish people "dwell alone," apply to Jewish people also. Now our own brethren in the US have abandoned us ........the very people that we in Israel count on to advocate for us have now stabbed us in the back....

This will not end well for Jews living in the diaspora, if we in Israel cannot count on our own to watch our back.... then the time will come very soon when the USA turns their back on Jewish citizens as well!

Leading pro-Israel lobby privately telling officials it’s okay to condemn planned controversial West Bank move as long as they don’t push to limit US aid to Jewish state

The leading pro-Israel lobby in the United States is telling US lawmakers that they are free to criticize Israel’s looming annexation plans — just as long as the criticism stops there.

Two sources — a congressional aide and a donor — say the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, is delivering that guidance in Zoom meetings and phone calls with lawmakers. The message is unusual because the group assiduously discourages public criticism of Israel.

But these are unusual times: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has set a July 1 deadline to annex parts of the West Bank, over the criticism of people abroad who say the move would set back any efforts to bring peace to the region.

With anxiety pervading the US Jewish community ahead of that deadline, AIPAC faces a thorny question: Does it support Israel’s leadership at all costs, or does it draw a line on actions it believes endangers the Jewish state’s future?

Say Kaddish for America!

by Prof. Phyllis Chesler

It’s the French Revolution and the Russian and Chinese Communist Revolution in America.

Insurrection is the name of the game—and the Gaza-style Intifada, which has dominated campus revolts for a long time has now taken to the streets and has been there for weeks now. 

Today, a group of “militants” has taken over six city blocks in Seattle and issued a long, long list of demands.

I’ve been told that a mob has be-headed the statue of Christopher Columbus in Boston and are demanding that we celebrate an Indigenous People’s Day—and forget about Columbus. In Bristol, England, the statue of an 18th century slave trader has been toppled.

Can be-headings of people be far behind?

This very literal, quite concrete set of actions are attempts to rewrite, deny, and disappear history. 

However, without it, what would the permanently aggrieved have to focus upon?

There’s more. HBO has withdrawn “Gone With the Wind” until it can accompany it with a politically correct discussion about slavery in the South and the NYT is devoting 60% or more of its coverage to Black Folk and Racism daily, every day. (Not entirely a bad thing but it is certainly a driving force for the anarchy and destruction that’s upon us.)

If the Wuhan Virus ends, people can return to their jobs. But do the looters, ANTIFA rioters, and protestors have jobs? Will our lives ever be safe again?

The protestors are telling us that life has never been safe for black people in America. 

The experts are telling us that black on black violence, including homicide, is far more of a factor in black deaths than at police hands. 

We are having a new kind of Civil War, tragically, a Race War too, one that I’d predicted long ago.

I am curious: 

Churches and synagogues have been defaced in the last two weeks in America. Have any mosques been similarly defaced?

A close friend just told me that her husband had lain awake in bed last night saying Kaddish for America.

Walmart To Open Their Locked Cases That Contained "Black Beauty " Products

Think about this for a minute.... Who would want to steal "beauty products" designed for black people?

Walmart announced Wednesday that their stores will stop displaying personal care products meant for people of color in locked cases in response to complaints the practice was discriminatory.

“We have made the decision to discontinue placing multicultural hair care and beauty products in locked cases,” the company said in an email statement on Wednesday.

About a dozen of the company’s 4,700 nationwide stores placed such products in cases meant to prevent theft.

The decision to end the practice came after a Monday CBS report that detailed a black woman’s failed attempt to buy a scarf that was locked away with the multicultural hair care products in a Colorado Walmart store.

Lauren Epps told the network that she had to wait for a worker at the Montbello store to unlock the display, but instead of handing her the scarf, the worker began to place the item into another portable locked case.

“I’m not going to be shamed into thinking I’m a criminal for just wanting to get a scarf,” Epps said.

“This is very blatant because the heading above that aisle says ‘Multicultural Hair Care.’ They are saying that people, who are a different culture, need their stuff to be locked up.”

Walmart’s policy shift comes amid nationwide protests against racial injustice following the death of George Floyd.

Netanyahu Hires Breitbart Reporter Aaron Klein as Adviser

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hired prominent right-wing journalist Aaron Klein as his new strategic and communications consultant, the Likud party announced Monday.

Klein, 41, has advised Netanyahu for several months, but in recent weeks quit his job as Israel correspondent for the far-right Breitbart website to work for Likud full-time.

Netanyahu praised Klein’s contribution from a stage in the Tel Aviv fairgrounds early on election night, March 3, after it became clear that Likud had become the Knesset’s largest faction with 36 seats.

Klein’s new appointment made waves on social media, since the adviser is considered a hardline Republican who has written books attacking Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and since the Democratic party’s latest presidential candidate, Joe Biden, leads incumbent Donald Trump in polls ahead of the November election.

A Philadelphia native who has been in living in Jerusalem for several years, Klein will not replace the prime minister’s spokesperson, Shir Cohen, and the post of spokesperson for the international media remains vacant. (The job was previously held by Evan Gary Cohen, who quit in March after only seven months.)

“Klein left a full-time successful career as a reporter to help as Israel finds itself facing unprecedented challenges during the coronavirus pandemic, amid the international debate on the issue of applying sovereignty [in the West Bank] and other pressing matters,” a Likud source told The Times of Israel on Monday.

Klein’s illustrious career as writer and radio talk show host has made some observers uneasy about him advising Netanyahu.

Jerusalem-based writer Gershom Gorenberg, a critic of the prime minister’s, pointed out that Klein had served as Jerusalem bureau chief for WND (World News Daily), which he characterized as “a far-right conspiracy-peddling site.”

Shalom Lipner, who served for 26 years in the Prime Minister’s Office and currently works as a senior fellow for Middle East programs at the Atlantic Council in Washington, said hiring Klein was a “short-sighted move by Netanyahu” to curry favor with Trump. That, Lipner added, was a “risky proposition to say the least.”

The prime minister should “stop antagonizing Democrats,” Lipner added, recommending Netanyahu prepare for the possibility of Biden entering the White House in January 2021.

Klein has a history of harshly attacking Democratic presidents and presidential hopefuls. He published two books denouncing Trump’s predecessor — “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists” (2010) and “Fool Me Twice: Obama’s Shocking Plans for the Next Four Years Exposed” (2012).

In 2014, he published a book entitled “The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary Don’t Want You to Know,” in what observers said was a bid to derail the former secretary of state’s presidential run.
