Recently Drawn From Two Days Of Arutz Sheva

1. Barak meets Abbas in Jordan.
Nothing to talk about. The only peace the Arabs can offer Israel is the Peace of the grave.
2. Lone Zionist at Anti-Israeli Rally.
That is good, but would it have been wrong to take a few friends. And go undercover and bash a few heads. The Midrash tells us that it is Kosher to kill those who come to kill us. I am not saying this, Jewish Law says this.
3. Two terror suspects nabbed on flight from US.
The US, the World and Israel are responsible for terrorism by showing restraint in destroying it. Also by funding, fearing and appeasing terrorists. Late reports indicate the Dutch will release them.
4. Back Taxes May Stop Ground Zero Mosque.
Jews, Christians, Hindus, and 9-11 victims should knock down the doors and sit in that place, like the Civil Rights Movement (1959-1966). Why wait for the IRS which is controlled by a Muslim President?
5. PA Prime Minister’s Diplomatic War Against Israel.
My dear Lovers of Zion, this is Israel’s fault. Israeli must stop whining and do something. For example: blow up or jam the anti-Semitic radio and TV Stations. Arrest the Moslem preachers of hate and close their hateful schools. Stop funding anti-Jewish hate education. Stop funding PA’s diplomatic hate campaign against Israel.
6. Shas Leader Rabbi Yosef: Build in All of Judea and Sameria.
Good advice. My advice to Rabbi Yosef: If the Israeli coalition does not follow your advice-WITHDRAW YOUR PARTY FROM COALITION AND BRING THIS GOVERNMENT DOWN. Don’t fear for Israel, HaShem will be by your side.
7. Four Jews Murdered in Arab Terror Attack.
Peres, Barak, Beilin, Peace Now, J-Street, Obama and many other leftists to blame. There is already so much blood on their hands that it can’t removed on this Day of Atonement. You are cursed by your actions.
Rabbi Meir Kahane, Avraham Stern and Vladimir Jabotinsky understood the Arabs like no Israeli leader today. They teach us that we should not blame the Arabs for killing Jews. It is their nature. It is up to Jews to defend ourselves and PREVENT THEM FROM KILLING US.
8. Bolton Not Ruling Out Bid For President.
In my view, the best ticket the Republicans in 2012 is an US Ambassador John Bolton as President with Sarah Palin, Vice President. Sarah got a bad rep because McCain was such a wimp facing Obama. She is a growing power in the country and will help Bolton win an massive victory. This will be good for America, good for Israel, good for the world and bad for the terrorist Islamists. 9. Israeli Police Like to Take Guns Away from Jews.
My feeling is that this an Israeli government plot developed originally Rabin, Peres and Beilin as well as the leftist media and justice system. Why the curious Zionist might ask? To instill fear in the Jews of Judea and Samaria, and make them flee to the coast. Of course, Hashem protected those faithful Jews and their strength and numbers have multiplied. This has happened before in America with the planting of apple seeds, in Texas with bluebonnets, and in Israel with the wild goats of Ein Gedi.
10. Hebron Eyewitness: "Pure, Unadulterated Barbarity"
As David Wilder says: "The Arabs are Barbarians. "I have said it for 50 years. My friend David Basch has written dozens of wonderful articles for the Freeman Center explaining this fact.So has Emanuel A. Winston. An example of Basch’s brilliance is demonstrated in this parable, he sent me, which I modified somewhat and published in 1994. I quote:
MAKING PEACE WITH WOLVES
A Folk Tale For Israelis
How do you make peace with wolves? This question has faced man since he settled the land and domesticated animals for livestock. "G-d created the wolves too," man thought "they too must have some kind of purpose, but why do they destroy my stock?" "I'll make peace with them" the man thought. "Surely they will understand what that means, for they are part of G-d's creatures."
So the man met with the wolves and promised them food and shelter if they would leave his stock alone. The wolves, seeing desperation and weakness, agreed. They lived amongst the stock, the man fed them and sheltered them and they grew strong and multiplied. One day as the man went out to feed his stock and the wolves, he only found wolves, standing amongst the slain carcasses of his stock. "Why? Why have you killed my stock?" the man screamed "Haven't I fed you? Haven't I sheltered you?....WHY? The wolves looked at the man and smiled,
"Why, you ask have we slain your stock? Because YOU LET US, after all we ARE still wolves!"
A government is like a shepherd, its DUTY is too the stock, NOT the wolves. This is a lesson Peres and his Labor government need to learn quickly. Peace is wonderful! Peace is what we all want for Israel (the world for that matter) but do we want the peace of a cemetery or the peace of a strong, secure nation? One of two things need to happen, either Peres needs to take off the rose colored glasses and see the wolves for what they are OR the stock needs to get a new shepherd!
11. Jews are the innocent lambs being led to slaughter.
I say to the Jews of the world. DON’T BE LED TO SLAUGHTER!
12. After Hebron Murders Orphans to Bury Terror Victim Parents.
It is natural for children to bury their parents. It is UN-NATURAL for a Jewish Government to allow Arabs to kill Jews in Eretz Yisrael.
13. We all know that it was Terrorists Who Killed the Jews of Hebron.
Of course, they had accomplices as Caroline Glick says among the Israeli Left. But we also must understand that HaShem did not allow or avert His Eyes from this tragedy. About 60 years ago, when I first began to learn about the Holocaust, I had many questions about why G-d could have allowed it to happen and why he did not intervene. Only a few later, as I learned more about the struggle to found Israel, did I begin to understand. HaShem’s gift to His Beloved Jewish People was a table with three legs: Torat Yisrael (Torah of Israel), Am Yisrael (People of Israel) and Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel). If one leg is gone the table falls. Very few Israeli leaders since 1948 even remotely understood this completely. After 1993 and Oslo the table began to topple at a rapid pace. We owe Hashem, as our gift to Him, to balance the table. WHO WILL DO IT?
14. Response to Attack: Thawing the Construction Freeze.
This is an inappropriate Zionist response. Building Eretz Yisrael is a Commandment from the Almighty to his beloved Children of Israel. Arab attacks have nothing to do with it.
15. Barak: Israel May Divide Jerusalem, International Holy Temple Site
Barak is Evil to even speak those words. It is not for me to curse him. He has cursed himself before HaShem and the Jewish People. The Almighty will deal with this abomination.
16. Rabbi Lau: Our Prime Minster is Fighting for Our Survival.
Rabbi Lau is wrong to praise Bibi. He is not fighting for our survival. Bibi has feet of clay and a constitution made of butter, meant to melt in the Negev sun.
17. Dr. Kedar Warns: Iran May Take Over Persian Gulf.
Dr. Kedar’s warnings should be listened to and everyone should read the full article on Arutz Sheva of September 1, 2010. He a man of great intelligence and wisdom. I will pray that he gains more power and influence among Israelis.
