European Union condemns Jews Building in Their Own Land !

 

The European Union condemned "in the strongest terms possible" Israel’s decision to transform five West Bank outposts into new settlements as well as to advance plans for thousands of new settler homes. 

"This is another deliberate attempt at undermining peace efforts," it said on Friday as it urged Israel to rescind the decision.

The five outposts are Evyatar, Givat Assaf, Sde Efraim, Heletz, and Adorayim.

The Security Cabinet authorized one outpost for every country that unilaterally recognized Palestine as a state in the last month, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich explained.

He agreed in exchange for the authorizations of the outposts to release three months of tax fees he has withheld from the Palestinian Authority.

Smotrich’s statement about the security cabinet’s decision taken late Thursday night was the only one published about the meeting. The Prime Minister’s Office did not publish anything on the meeting, but his announcement is presumed to be accurate.

“After weeks of discussions, the Israeli government promoted an appropriate response to the anti-Israeli measures led by the Palestinian Authority,” Smotrich stated.

This includes its activity against Israel at the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the United Nations.

Cabinet Approves Smotrich’s Sanctions Against Palestinian Authority, Legalizing New Settlements

 

 Bezalel Smotrich met a Gaza envelope standby team, May 21, 2024

In response to the anti-Israel activity of the Palestinian Authority in the ICC, ICJ, and the UN – most recently pushing arrest warrants against Israeli leaders and soliciting the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian State by several countries, the Israeli government has decided on response measures proposed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, including:

Canada Sanctions Daniella Weiss, 79, for ‘Extremist Violence’

 

The Canadian government on Thursday imposed sanctions against seven Israeli settlers accused of participating in extremist violence in Judea and Samaria – even though one of them will turn 80 next year, and the other is 70. Looks like beating up Arab terrorists is the secret to longevity.

This marks the second instance of such action by Ottawa in just over a month.

The Canadian foreign ministry also announced punitive measures against five Zionist organizations, including the Amana movement headed by Ze’ev “Zambish” Hever, Daniella Weiss’ Nahala movement, and Bentzi Gopstein’s Lehava movement.

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!

Zera Shimshon Parshas Shlach

 

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.”
