Israel Cancels Youth Trips To Poland Over Holocaust Studies

 

Israel has canceled educational trips to Poland for thousands of high school students this summer, claiming the Polish government is trying to control the Holocaust-studies curriculum taught to Israeli children, the Israeli foreign minister said.

The announcement by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid reignited longstanding tensions between the two countries over Poland’s treatment of its Jewish citizens during the Holocaust.

In his comments, Lapid said Poland has barred Israeli delegations from learning about the role of Polish citizens in collaborating with Nazis during the Holocaust.

“They wanted to dictate what was allowed and what wasn’t allowed to be taught to Israeli children who go to Poland and that we cannot agree with,” he told a news conference on Wednesday.

Poland was the first country invaded and occupied by Adolf Hitler’s regime and never had a collaborationist government. Members of Poland’s resistance and government-in-exile struggled to warn the world about the mass killing of Jews, and thousands of Poles risked their lives to help Jews.

However, Holocaust researchers have collected ample evidence of Polish villagers who murdered Jews fleeing the Nazis, or Polish blackmailers who preyed on helpless Jews for financial gain. Six million Jews, including nearly all of Poland’s roughly 3 million Jews, were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust, and major Nazi death camps were in Poland.

These dueling narratives have been a source of great tension between Israel and Poland, which otherwise have strong relations.

Lapid referred to a Polish bill, passed in 2018, that penalizes anyone who blames Poles as a nation for the World War II crimes committed by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland. At the time, Israel and United States slammed the law, saying it hindered free speech.

On Wednesday, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski posted on Twitter that “the current formula of organized trips of Israeli youth to Poland requires changes due to systematic problems leading to the strengthening of false stereotypes, which negatively impacts Polish-Israeli relations.” Jablonski also said that Poland doesn’t wish to halt Israeli student trips but, rather, to give them a different formula that will improve Polish-Israeli ties.

Israel’s Education Ministry had announced the cancellations earlier last week but gave no explanation for its decision.

Young Israelis traditionally travel to Poland in the summer between 11th and 12th grade to tour former Nazi camps in order to learn about the Holocaust and memorialize those murdered. The trip has long been considered a milestone in Israeli education and, prior to the pandemic, some 40,000 Israeli students participated each year. About 7,000 were registered to go this summer, according to the Education Ministry.

Ties between Poland and Israel have been gradually fraying in recent years over the matter. In 2021, Israel protested a Polish law seen as banning claims for restitution of some seized property by Holocaust victims.

At the time, Poland recalled its ambassador to Israel, while Israel’s ambassador to Poland was also recalled. Ties have since improved in the wake of Israel-Polish cooperation on the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

Lapid, whose late father was a Holocaust survivor, thanked Poland for its help in rescuing Jewish refugees from Ukraine but said the high school delegations could not continue under the current circumstances.

Feuding $atmar Brother$ Get Together to $upport Immorality Endor$ing NY Governor Hochul

 

I am extremely troubled and disappointed by Satmar’s endorsement of incumbent NY Governor Kathy Hochul, particularly at this time, when we are struggling to maintain even a minimal semblance of morality in our state and in our country.

We are amidst the most dangerous times in which violent crimes are commonplace and out of control. To be able to walk safely on our streets is not a given anymore. These issues are more important than money. It was appalling to me when I read the ad from both Satmar communities’ leaders endorsing a gubernatorial candidate that supports all the “woke” and immoral behaviors that have a terribly negative influence on our entire communities including our most prized and important possessions – our children. Immoral behaviors that their gubernatorial candidate supports are deemed an abomination by our holy Torah. It seems both leaders are willing to trade money in exchange for the spiritual and physical destruction of their communities.

How will we tell the Department of Education to let us run our Yeshivas the way we want when we are beholden to them because we grovel for their funding?

We are teaching our children that money trumps even Torah values and that the ends justify the means – no matter the cost.

It is tragic that these two leaders are in the midst of a bitter machlokes and yet tell us to be mevater on every value we hold near and dear. Everyone knows that the best way to motivate our children is by practicing what we preach and setting a positive example. How can leaders tell us to do as they say but not as they do? It is appalling and unacceptable.

It is especially interesting that they can agree when it comes to accepting money. Why are they unable to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch? Everything comes with a price; in this instance, the price is our neshamos.

Quote From Rav Avigdor Miller: “All the frum jews should be up in arms for law and order – not to vote for politicians who will gives us money for programs, for orthodox organizations, or for yeshivas. We do not want them. We want politicians who will vote the way we want for our safety and who will fight for law and order.”

Why did the Chief Rabbi suddenly blast MK Itamar Ben Gvir over his Har Habayis entry?

MK Itamar Ben Gvir has been going up to the Har Ha'bayit for years making a public scene, it was never a secret, so why now?

 The truth is that the Chief Rabbi,  Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, could care less whether Jews go up to Har Habayit, just like he could care less about the Gerer Pogroms. In fact it is the Sfardi Rabbis primarily that feel that it is a mitzvah to go up to the Har Habayis,  they follow the Rambam who made a Yom Tov every year on the anniversary of his ascent with his father and brother. Belzer Chusid R' Elbaum goes up every Rosh Chodesh as well. 

So what happened that the Chief Rabbi publicly chastised Ben Gvir? 

One of his reasons is that he feels that Ben Gvir is instigating the Arabs, but that makes no sense because Rav Yosef himself has made outrageous and shocking statements about the Arabs

Rav Yitzchok Yosef said that non-Jews who don't accept Judaism's basic laws for humanity " should be expelled from Israel and sent to Saudi Arabia. But Jews will hold off on doing that until the messianic age because in the meantime Israel needs non-Jews as servants.

“Who will be the servers? Who will be our assistants?” Yitzhak Yosef said. “Therefore, we leave them here in the land.”

How do the Arabs feel about this statement?

Rav Yosef also claimed that Ben Gvir's going up to the Har Habayit is a "Chillul Hashem" Why is that a "chillul Hashem?" Why can't a Jew whose rabbis permit go on the Har Habayit?That's like saying that is a Jew living in Eretz Yisrael is a "chillul Hashem"

So what happened now that he publicly condemned him?

That's why you need to read DIN to get the news behind the news.

You see, Ben Gvir according to  the latest polls is going to have over 10 seats. 

So where are these new voters coming from? 

You guessed it, from the Chareidie parties! 

The Chareidim are panicking because if Gvir gets 10 seats or more, that will take seats away from Degel and the rest of the Chareidie parties. So they sent the dogs out to denigrate Ben Gvir. 

Ben Gvir as opposed to the other Chareidie MKs is an honest straight forward guy who says what he means, and means what he says, but that doesn't bode well for the Chareidie MKs, so they begged the Chief Rabbi  to humiliate him since both Ben Gvir and Rav Yosef are sfardim. Hopefully the voters will see thru these shenanigans and vote their conscience 

The Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, on Saturday night launched a scathing attack against those who ascend the Temple Mount, contrary to the opinion of all the great rabbis of Israel.

"Rabbi So-and-So allowed entry to the Temple Mount. What is he, not a rabbi? Fool. Is everyone called Gadol Torah (a great rabbi)?" Rabbi Yosef said during a lesson.

"Who forbade entry to the Temple Mount? All the great rabbis of the generation. The same one who allows it today, that all the rabbis, these young people, rely on, is he at the same level as the great rabbis who forbade it?"

Sadegera Rebbe Banned from his brother's wedding because he is trying to evict his own mother makes a Fictitious Wedding Without Bride And Groom in Bnei Brak

 

This gives "transgender" a whole new meaning, since the "rebbele twirp" was the groom and bride all in one in his makeshift wedding farce.

The Sadigura chasidim will hold a huge wedding celebration tonight in Bnei Brak attended by all of the chasidim but without the bride and groom.

The reason for the unusual reception is that the Rebbe in Israel is not able to attend the actual ceremony in the United States, because he was banned from the wedding that took place in Williamsburgby his mother, who is trying to stop the eviction from her own dira. 

The "twirp rebbe" argues that his father left him the dira in his will. Even if it was true, which animal evicts its own mother? 

The chasidim in Bnei Brak, where the Rebbe maintains his father’s institutions, decided to make a celebration in honor of the wedding but without the bride and groom present at the fictitious ceremony.

Knesset dissolves: Lapid to become PM

 

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid have decided to dissolve the current government and hold new elections. The decision was made after the two exhausted efforts to preserve the current coalition, which has seen numerous crisis in recent months.

The two will submit a bill to this effect for approval by the Knesset next week.

Yair Lapid will become prime minister during the transition period as per the coalition agreement and will greet US President Joe Biden as Israel's premier during his visit to the Jewish State on July 13. Elections for the 25th Knesset will be held in September.

With the dissolution of the government, Naftali Bennett will become the shortest-serving prime minister in Israel's history, a record which would be broken by Lapid if he does not remain prime minister following the elections.

Prime Minister Bennett is now talking to party leaders.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid will give an announcement to the public at 8 PM.

1 dead, 2 hospitalized from tree falling on Palisades Parkway

The accident happened in the northbound lanes in Stony Point.

 A pickup truck passenger was killed Sunday when a tree fell on the vehicle on a parkway in New York’s northern suburbs, a report said.

The freak accident occurred in the northbound lanes of the Palisades Parkway near Exit 16 in Rockland County at about 4 p.m., News 12 Westchester reported, citing police.

Three people were inside the red truck when it was struck by the falling tree.

The front seat passenger was killed and the driver and rear passenger were hospitalized, the report said.

Photos from the scene show the mangled remains of the vehicle that veered off the road during the accident.

Police closed off the northbound lanes of the parkway for several hours as they investigated and cleared the crash.

World swimming bans men athletes that dress up like women from women’s events

 

 World swimming’s governing body has effectively banned transgender women from competing in women’s events, starting Monday.

FINA members widely adopted a new “gender inclusion policy” on Sunday that only permits swimmers who transitioned before age 12 to compete in women’s events. The organization also proposed an “open competition category.”

“This is not saying that people are encouraged to transition by the age of 12. It’s what the scientists are saying, that if you transition after the start of puberty, you have an advantage, which is unfair,” James Pearce, who is the spokesperson for FINA president Husain Al-Musallam, told The Associated Press.

“They’re not saying everyone should transition by age 11, that’s ridiculous. You can’t transition by that age in most countries and hopefully you wouldn’t be encouraged to. Basically, what they’re saying is that it is not feasible for people who have transitioned to compete without having an advantage.”

Pearce confirmed there are currently no transgender women competing in elite levels of swimming.

Germany will finally limit use of gas but too late for the 6 million Jews they already gassed

 Germany’s economy minister said Sunday that the country will limit the use of natural gas for electricity production amid concerns about possible shortages caused by a cut in supplies from Russia.

Economy Minister Robert Habeck said that Germany will try to compensate for the move by increasing the burning of coal, a more polluting fossil fuel.

“That’s bitter, but it’s simply necessary in this situation to lower gas usage,” said Habeck, a member of the environmentalist Green party.

Russian gas company Gazprom announced last week that it was sharply reducing supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline for technical reasons, but which Habeck said appeared to be politically motivated.

Germany, which has long relied heavily on energy imports from Russia, began significantly scaling back its imports because of the war in Ukraine.

The government has nevertheless insisted that Russian gas will be needed for a while until alternative sources of energy, such as LNG brought in by ship, are available. Over the past months the German government has taken measures to fill gas storage facilities to 90% capacity by November to ensure enough gas is available as a heating fuel through the winter.

Habeck said storage facilities — currently at 56.7% capacity — were still able to make up the shortfall from Russia with purchases from elsewhere, but nevertheless described the situation as “serious" and said further measures may be necessary.

The German government recently called on citizens to cut back their energy use in light of the tense supply situation.

“It's obvious that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's strategy is to unsettle us by driving up the price and dividing us," Habeck said. “We won't let that happen.”

Is the Pope is about to RESIGN ?

 

Pope Francis has fuelled speculation that he could resign after postponing a trip to Africa and announcing an unusual meeting of cardinals. 

Hobbled by pain in his knee and forced to use a wheelchair in recent weeks, the 85-year-old pontiff postponed a July trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan last week.

He also announced an unusual decision to hold a consistory to name new cardinals during a Vatican vacation month and arranged meetings to ensure his reforms stay intact.

The extraordinary consistory will be held on August 27, a slow summer month at the Catholic headquarters, to create 21 new cardinals - 16 of whom will be under the age of 80, thereby eligible to elect his successor in a future conclave.

Israel Should tell the EU "No Gas Until You Cut out your anti-Israel Actions"

 People dining this week on the charming terrace at Jerusalem's King David Hotel were surprised to find at the next table Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission.

Given the EU's long-standing hostility towards Israel, it was a bit like spotting Amber Heard knocking back the tequila with Johnny Depp in a Los Angeles bar.

That may be unfair to von der Leyen herself, who was described later that day by Israel's prime minister, Naftali Bennett, as "a great friend of the Jewish people and a great friend of Israel."

She had certainly come to Israel on a charm offensive. In a speech at Ben-Gurion University, where she was awarded an honorary degree, she said: "I have put the fight against anti-Semitism and fostering Jewish life in Europe at the core of the European Commission's agenda. Our democracy flourishes if Jewish life in Europe flourishes, too. Throughout the centuries, the Jewish people have been 'a light unto the nations.' And they shall be a light unto Europe for many centuries ahead."

So she pressed all the right buttons about the Jewish people. The real reason for her trip, however, was panic.

Saudi Calls for Palestinian State in Jordan

 

Jordan’s King Abdullah II (L) in Ramallah with his host, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, 

Ali al-Shihabi, an author and commentator on Middle Eastern politics and economics with a particular focus on Saudi Arabia, last week threw a bombshell into regional Arab politics with an op-ed in the pro-Saudi TV channel and website Al Arabiya, headlined: “The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine.”

Al-Shihabi is a graduate of Princeton University and the Harvard Business School, and his articles are considered mainstream in the Sunni Arab world, which is why his op-ed caused such a stir and outrage on social media and news sites in Jordan. Former Jordanian Information Minister Muhammad al-Momani responded in an article headlined, “The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine – unrealistic, illogical, and not patriotic.” Some in Jordan have suggested that al-Shihabi’s article was part of a Saudi-Israeli plot designed to “bring the Palestinian issue to an end at the expense of the Palestinian people and the expense of Jordan.”

There is a permanent shortage of everything throughout the entire world and it's the fault of the Leftists' Elite

 

First it was baby formula, now there’s a tampon shortage. Tampon prices are up 10% due to the rising price of oil affecting the cost of plastic and higher cotton prices due to mask manufacturing and the war in Ukraine. A whole lot of fertilizer comes out of Ukraine and Russia. So does neon, which is used to make semiconductor chips. The chip shortage is shutting down car plants.

This is the thoroughly interconnected world celebrated in prose by journalists like Thomas Friedman, who marveled at how Big Data and globalization brought everything together.

“No two countries that both have a McDonald’s have ever fought a war against each other,” Friedman once claimed. In his greatest paean to globalization, “The World Is Flat,” he argued that, “No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain.”

McDonald’s in Russia has closed and the ones in Ukraine might be blown up any time. Russia restricted its neon exports while Ukraine’s neon exports have fallen sharply. Dell CEO Michael Dell has warned that the global chip shortage could last for years.

So much for the Golden Arches and Dell theory of globalist conflict prevention.

Rav Yoel Roth who was the last to see the missing Moshe Kleinerman Speaks up

 

Rabbi Yoel Roth, one of the most famous rabbis in the Breslav hasidic movement and probably one of the last people to see missing child Moshe Kleinerman, spoke over the weekend about the time he met the boy.

Rabbi Roth is the head of the Tiferet HaTorah yeshiva in Williamsburg, which serves hasidic youth who have dropped out of the usual yeshiva framework.

Many rumors have circulated about Moshe Kleinerman since his disappearance, including rumors that he has been spotted in a hasidic community outside of Israel.

Kleinerman was last seen on March 25 in the Meron area in the north of the country. Despite the passage of time, police still have no clue as to the boy's location and have continually appealed to the general public to report any sighting of the boy, who is described as slim with dark hair and sidelocks with glasses. Kleinerman also has a prominent scar over his left eye.

Last Friday, blogger Daniel Amram, who lives in the United States, decided to go to Rabbi Roth's yeshiva and talk to him about his last meeting with the missing boy more than 80 days ago in Meron. 

"I do not know him," Rabbi Roth said in a conversation with Amram.

 "When were were in Israel, he ran after me, and I don't know why. We couldn't get rid of him. We went around to the kivrei Tzaddikim (graves of the righteous), and I do not know why he jumped in the bus, we told him there was no place [for him] so he jumped in the trunk."

Amram spoke about the meeting with Rabbi Roth in a video on his YouTube channel.

 "When we arrived (at rabbi Roth's Yeshivah) he was in the middle of a class,".

 "Rabbi Roth  told us he had no problem with us waiting until he finished his class. At the end of the class I turned to him to asked  him if I could take a selfie with him  but then I showed him Moishe's picture and asked him if he knew where he was."

 "At first he ignored my question and just picked up the phone and started showing everyone, asking them if they knew where he was. After that he answered me about what happened then in Meron with him."

Beit Shemesh Boy dies after concrete pillar falls on him

 A 13-year-old boy from Beit Shemesh died on Saturday, half a year after he was critically injured when a concrete beam fell on him in his family's yard.

Moshe Yehuda Abels died at the Herzog Rehabilitation Hospital, where he had recently been hospitalized, after being transferred from Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, where the doctors fought for his life.

The funeral was held at 1:30 AM Sunday, during which he was buried in the Har Hamenuhot cemetery in Jerusalem.

During the Hanukkah holiday in December, Moshe and his brothers were playing in a hammock which was in the yard of their house. During the game, a concrete pillar to which the hammock was attached, detached from the ground and fell on the children.

All three children were injured, with Moshe suffering the most serious injuries.

The family celebrated Moshe's bar mitzva over the Passover holiday, but Moshe himself was not able to attend the celebration due to the seriousness of his condition.

Trump Right again as WHO head Dr. Tedros says that SARS-CoV-2 resulted from a lab leak

 

Despite public statements denying any level of certainty regarding the origins of SARS-CoV-2, WHO head Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus privately believes that the novel coronavirus was the result of a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

Dr. Tedros confided his thoughts to a European politician described as a "senior government source," who divulged the information to the Mail on Sunday.

The Institute of Virology in Wuhan is one of the largest such institutions in the world and the only institution in China that researches "gain of function" in viruses, manipulating them in order to make them more virulent or change their characteristics in some other form. Such research has been conducted in Wuhan for decades, and has been partially funded by the U.S. government.

The National Institutes of Health recently admitted that it had hidden information related to COVID-19's origins, in accordance with a Chinese request.

JEWISH BOY BULLIED, COMMITS SUICIDE BECAUSE OF “INCLUSION’ PROPAGANDA BY SCHOOL

 

The principal of a tony Chicago private school allegedly ignored a bullied 15-year-old, who then committed suicide — 

 The mother of the dead boy wants to warn parents in New York, where the administrator is set to start a new job next month. 

Randall Dunn, 57, head of the Board of Trustees of the National Association of Independent Schools, has run the Latin School of Chicago since 2011 but will take over the top job at the posh Rye Country Day School in Westchester, the school announced.

 Rosellene Bronstein, the teenager’s mother, believes Rye Country Day students, who pay $50,000 a year in tuition, would be at risk. “Dunn does not care about students. He cares about himself and his career. He’s a fraud. He is dishonest,” an emotional Rosellene Bronstein, 48, told The Post.

 Rosellene’s son, Nate, killed himself in January. In April, Bronstein and her husband Robert filed a $100 million lawsuit against Dunn and a blizzard of other school officials and parents in Illinois, alleging their son committed suicide after months of relentless bullying.

Naftuuuuuleh Moster:"After ten years, I am leaving Yaffed"

 

Jun 16, 2022

Ten years ago, I embarked on a journey that I never thought would bring me to where I am today. Struggling to secure a decent job and succeed in college due to the near complete lack of secular education in my Hasidic Yeshiva growing up, I decided to do something that so many before me chose not to do. I began advocating for Yeshivas to follow the law and for education agencies to enforce it.

It started as a passion project: a letter to the New York State Regents Chancellor; a handful of meetings with yeshiva administrators and local rabbis; a fax to a civil rights attorney; a meeting with a school superintendent. I had no advocacy skills or community organizing experience going into this work. I had no government relations experience, no media, budgeting, legal or education policy experience. I was just a young adult who was seriously handicapped by my lack of education.

With the help of our many supporters and generous donors I was able to grow Yaffed from a volunteer-based startup into a non-profit with a near 1 million dollar budget employing multiple full-time staff and additional contractors. In that time I went from being a nameless yeshiva bochur to a public figure.

It has been an incredible journey and a great adventure.

Palestinian gunmen abduct & beat hell out of Palestinian reporter working for Iran

Press coverage: "Tension at Al-Najah University in Nablus a while ago". pic.twitter.com/2GZ0aJCDMR

— AlQastal News (@QastalNewsEn) June 14, 2022

 

A Palestinian reporter working for an Iranian news agency was briefly abducted, beaten and threatened by Palestinian gunmen after covering the violent dispersal of an Islamist student demonstration in the West Bank earlier this week.

The Tasnim news agency says the men forced Samer Khuaira into a car at gunpoint on Tuesday, beat him and threatened him. The men said his coverage harmed the Palestinian Authority and the secular Fatah movement that dominates it, Tasnim said. He was released around a half-hour later.

Khuaira identified one of his abductors as a member of Palestinian security forces, Tasnim reported Thursday. The Palestinian Journalists Union condemned the attack on their colleague.

There was no comment from Palestinian officials.

Security guards at al-Najah University in Nablus had violently dispersed the Islamist students earlier on Tuesday. Videos circulated online showed the guards beating students and what appeared to be plainclothes security forces firing into the air near the university.

Fatah dominates security agencies that operate in the parts of the West Bank where the PA has limited autonomy.

Both the Fatah-led PA and its main rival, the Islamic terror group Hamas that rules Gaza, routinely crack down on political opponents in the areas they control. Iran supports Hamas and other Islamic terror groups.

Even Yahoo Hating Trump' Poll :" Biden disapproval hits new high as more Americans say they would vote for Trump"

 As inflation keeps rising and recession fears loom, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that Joe Biden is currently in the worst shape of his presidency.

The survey of 1,541 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 10-13, found that if another presidential election were held today, more registered voters say they would cast ballots for Donald Trump (44%) than for Biden (42%) — even though the House Jan. 6 committee has spent the last week linking Trump to what it called a “seditious conspiracy” to overturn the 2020 election and laying the groundwork for possible criminal prosecution.

Since Biden took office, no previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll has shown him trailing Trump (though Biden’s most recent leads have been within the margin of error, like this one is for Trump). One year ago, Biden led Trump by 9 percentage points. In 2020, Biden won the White House by more than 7 million votes.

Yet Biden’s job approval rating has been atrophying for much of the last year, and the new survey shows that it has never been weaker. A full 56% of Americans now disapprove of the president’s performance — the highest share to date — while just 39% approve. Three weeks ago, those numbers were 53% and 42%, respectively.

On average, Biden’s job approval scores are now a few points worse than Trump’s were at the parallel stage of his presidency.

 Israeli officials said on Friday evening that the head of the intelligence unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Taib, is the official who is plotting terrorist attacks against Israelis in Turkey.

In recent days, there have been reports from Iran quoting sources in the Iranian security establishment demanding that Taib be ousted. The reason for the calls is that Taib and his organization have failed to halt alleged Israeli operations inside Iran, while at the same time continuing to fail to advance retaliatory attacks outside Iran, with an emphasis on the Turkish arena.

These reports describe Taib in recent days as "a wounded animal in a frenzy, who out of deep anxiety for his position vis-à-vis Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, is in a deep frenzy trying to carry out an attack against Israelis in Turkey and elsewhere at all costs."

Zera Shimshon Parshas Shlach

 

Debunking the Satmar/Lakewood Liars

 

There doesn't go by a week that the Satmar Yiddish propaganda newspapers like Der Yid, Der Blatt, Der Zeitung and Der Shturmer write articles how the Jews and the Arabs got along fine up until Zionism developed. This of course has been proven to be fabricated .  But proven facts mean nothing to the Hungarian/Romanian liars and they have succeeded to shlep the naïve  Litvishe/Yeshivisha Roshei Yeshiva to their nests of lies. 

In Israel we are going to read this Shabbas Parshas Shlach the parsha of the spies. 

The meraglim weren't just simple Jews, they were hand chosen by Moshe Rabbeinu thru prophecy. 

The Torah itself states:

כלם אנשים ראשי בני ישראל המה "they were all distinguished men leaders of the Children of Israel"

They were the "moetzes gedoilei ha'Torah" of that generation. They were indeed the"daas Torah" of that generation, and yet they succumbed to Satan. 

And what was their sin, the sin that Hashem never forgave, and that the  entire generation, save a few, had to die in the desert and couldn't enter Eretz Yisrael? Talking Loshon Hara? Against who? 

Against earth, wood and stones! 

Hashem gave the children of Avraham this land as a gift to his descendants, and these "gedoilim" wanted no part of it! 

Parshas Shlach has an important message: one can be a "gadol" and yet can at the same time destroy the Jewish people, making them wander 40 years thereby forcing Klall Yisrael to have a "Tisha Be'ov for thousands of years.

Rav Teichtal in his sefer "Eim Habonim Semeicha" writes: "Are any of us bigger tzaddikim than the meraglim? But because they had "ne'geeus" they had personal bias in their hearts , they turned on eretz Yisrael."

and he adds:

אפילו צדיקים יכולים להיות מרגלים. על כן תדעו, שכל אלו אשר המה גם בזמן כזה שאנו בו כעת, נגד העליה ונגד הבנין וישוב הארץ. המה מכת המרגלים,וכל אלו הבוחרים בעליה, המה מכת יהושע וכלב

"Even Tzaddikim can be from the meraglim. Therefore take notice, those today who are against building and settling Eretz Yisrael, are from the meraglim. Those who choose Aliyah are from the camp of Yehoshua and Calev"

I have mentioned many times that the Yaavetz wrote in his siddur that all the tzuris that the Jewish people had to endure, like banishment of Spain, England, the crusades and Chelemetzki  pogroms was only because the Jews didn't read the signs to emigrate to Israel. 

Yes... but what about the three oaths? 

I have written time and again explaining this issue, but let me just say this now. Even if you should erroneously say that they apply today, they don't apply to each individual Jew. Every single Jew has an obligation to make Aliyah. And that's how the Vilna Gaon,the Baal Shem Tov learned pshat  in the 3 oaths, as they did everything they could to emigrate. The Chafetz Chayim also made concrete plans to make aliyah. 

The Jews clinging on to the 3 oaths remained in Europe only to be slaughtered to the tune of 6 million. You would think that the survivors would now see this as a sign to get out of Europe once and for all, and finally make Aliyah but no. The Rabbis told them that the Zionists were evil, that the new state created in 1948 was an abomination. They told them  to either stay in Europe and rebuild from the bottom up or emigrate to the USA which they themselves pre WW2 called "the trifene medinah" the "Treif Country" 

The Satmar Rebbe, R' Yoel Teitelbaum even predicted in 1957 and again in 1963 that there would be no Torah Institutions in 20 years in Israel. He predicted that 95% of all Jews in Israel would assimilate with the Arabs. I remember in the  60's when Satmar predicted that the State of Israel would no longer exist in 40 years

To bolster their arguments against the Zionist State, they brazenly re-wrote history and fabricated a false narrative  of  the relationship  between Arabs and Jews and made up stories that Jews and Arabs lived in peace side by side. By the way this narrative is used by the Arab murderers as well.

Even though Satmar shouts לשנה הבא בירושלים and  say in bentching ובנה ירושלים עיר הקדש and say three times a day in Shemona Esra ברוך אתה ה' בונה ירושלים 

they don't believe it for one second .

I'm old enough to remember that when the goy, the then President Trump moved the US embassy to Yerushalayim and declared Yerushalyim as the capital, R' Aron Teitelbaum, the Monroe Satmar Rebbe who is married to a Hebrew speaking wife, said this declaration has no "shaichis" "no connection" to the Jewish people. 

How does someone even utter such blasphemous words and remain a leader? How is it that his sheep still remained with him? The reason is because they get their news from the Yiddish Der Shturmer and are indoctrinated while they are still nursing, to hate fellow Jews. 

I am reminded of what R' Chaim Volozhiner writes in Nefesh Ha'Chayim. When the Mishna in Sota 49b lists all the terrible developments that will precede the arrival of Moshiach. Chazal conclude 

ועל מה יש לנו להשען על אבינו שבשמים

"Upon what, then, can we lean on? Upon our Father in Heaven"

R' Chaim explains that this last line is actually part of the negative forecast, in that instead of trying to correct things ourselves, we will simply say that it's up to Hashem and doesn't require our own hishtadlus!

This "orgy of violence took place 26 years before Herzl was even born!

The article below from a newspaper called "The Near East" does not mention "Zionism" at all. The "friendly" Arabs  just killed Jews because they could. That's why we need a State! That's why we need an army. It's not perfect but we should thank Hashem for it ..
