What kind of Independence is this?

A Developing Story
April 07, 2023
To the people of Al Aqsa ...
To the people of Al Aqsa:
Two sisters
were murdered today in a hail of terrorist bullets sprayed on their car in the
Jordan Valley. Their mother lies critically wounded in a hospital staffed by
Arabs and Jews working in harmony. The family used to live in London as part of
our Hendon Jewish community.
On such an
awful day, the second day of our Passover and your 16th day of
Ramadan, I send you this message. We Jews have no interest in Al Aqsa, either
to conquer or occupy it. That should have been clear after the Six Day War when
we handed you the keys to your holy sites. No other victor – no Turk or
Crusader - would have done such a thing. All we wanted was access to a wall,
the last remnant of our holy temple.
Know that
every scare story raised about Al Aqsa has been generated by your utterly
corrupt leaders for the sole purpose of satisfying their Iranian paymasters
that a permanent state of war continues to be stoked in the Holy Land.
We have
tragically lost young lives today, but our people will prevail and prosper
whilst your people will continue to pay the high price of reprisals of the kind
you saw exploding last night in Gaza and which you will undoubtedly see more of
in response to the slaughter of these girls today.
We take no
pleasure in the suffering of the vast majority of devout Muslims who wish only to
serve their god and pray in peace during their holy month, support their
families and bring up their children for purposes other than killing Jews. All
of our wars have been defensive, and our repeated offers to share the land in
peace have been rejected for 75 years.
Who is
responsible for all this? Look to your corrupt leaders. Just Google: “Hamas
Billionaires” and you will see how they live in the greatest luxury whilst turning
your lives into utter misery and daily bloodshed, by remote control.
Make a
decision this Ramadan! Reject these users and abusers– break loose from their rapacious
grip. Elect honest people to lead you to a better life, to reclaim the billions
of foreign aid that were diverted to foreign bank accounts. You might start
with “Arafat’s Billions” another easy search on Google which will take you to a
CBS 60 Minutes investigation. It’s the same story. All those stolen billions
were supposed to give you a better life.
But you are
just pawns.
It is in
your own hands to change all that.

The BIG Lie
The latest and largest in the series of Saturday night demos against Netanyahu are reminiscent of the “Not My President” marches against Donald Trump in 2016. Elections have consequences, but it seems leftists both in Israel and the USA are never prepared to accept them like grownups.

No Longer Helpless
Interviewed last week for International Holocaust Rememberance Day, my Christian TV host recalled his visit to Yad Vashem and the sight of the cattle wagon exhibit and an unfinished scrawled message he had seen on the woodwork.
This reminded me of my own visit to Yad Vashem many years ago, where I stood for a long time before this particular exhibit. It had special meaning for me as the son of an Auschwitz survivor who, at 19, was carted to Auschwitz with his mother and father in such an overcrowded and fetid wagon.
Standing there I tried to recall my father's narrative of that nightmarish journey, all recorded in his book The Yellow Star. The journey ended with the barking of savage dogs on the Auschwitz camp platform, from which my grandparents were swiftly selected for death that same evening.
Totally lost in my thoughts about the sheer helplessness of our defenceless people, I took a step back as one does in museums and galleries and bumped into someone. Turning to apologise, I found myself facing a young IDF soldier with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a kippa on his head.
I don't think my apology ever came out in full, so overwhelmed was I by the irony of this moment and this encounter.
From a vision of total helplessness, I had come face to face with its exact opposite - a symbol of our national independence and the power to defend our people.
The soldier quickly moved on, but that moment and its emotion has stayed with me to this day.

9-11, Bin Laden & General Tzu
Coming up to the 21st anniversary of 9/11 I can’t help noticing that Islamic terrorism has been off our headlines for quite a while. Even the recent killing of Al Qaeda’s chief Al-Zawahiri passed without serious response or credible threats.
Does this mean that America has defeated Al Qaeda? Has the Jihad abandoned its quest to bomb the West back into the stone age and force its survivors to swear fealty to the Prophet? I think not.The more logical explanation is that the cunning and
very patient emirs of the Jihad are content to see America destroy itself from
within and save them all the expense, trouble and effort.
They watch as America’s military power is humiliated
in Afghanistan and its economic power is withering under unprecedentedly
profligate government spending and runaway inflation. They watch as millions of
economic migrants from more than 150 countries pour across the US/Mexico border
– some already on the terror watchlist and still more acting as ‘mules’ for the
gangs smuggling vast quantities of Chinese-made Fentanyl tablets which are
killing American kids by the thousands.
Those American kids that survive, will be educated in
classes held back by the illiterate migrant children and their grades will
suffer along with the country and industries that depend on that next
generation of scientists and engineers. The migrant adults will enter the black
economy – or worse still drugs and prostitution - sending all their earnings
back to Mexico and beyond to pay off their human smuggler debt. And in the
process of chain migration, migrant grandparents will join the family unit with
all their ailments and disabilities ready to be unloaded on an already
overstretched Medicare system – blocking beds to US citizens who’ve actually
paid taxes into the system all their working lives. A recipe for resentment,
civil unrest and national decline.
All the while, America is greening itself into
bankruptcy – shutting its own pipelines to the world’s richest store of energy
like a man cutting off his right arm as he clings to a steep cliff. To make
things worse, the feckless US president has drained the country’s strategic
energy reserve in a ‘King Canute’ effort to lower gas prices at the pumps – and
this while a superpower confrontation looms in Europe.
And if all that wasn’t enough, the Caliphate elders
are licking their chops over the disintegration of American family life – the very
foundation of any society. It was bad enough when a third of America’s kids
grew up without a father. Now they are being educated to doubt their own
sexuality from pre-school age and to question the basic morality of their
nation’s founding. Mix that with defunding of law & order and you have the full
playbook of Western Hara-Kiri.
And it’s not just jihadis who watch this play out. China
is also watching patiently, even as it soaks up billions in orders for solar
panels and propellers that cloudy and windless Europe expects to replace its
energy production. Always playing the long game, China’s leaders will follow
the teachings of its 6th century warrior/philosopher, General Sun
Tzu who wrote: 'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without
fighting’.
Will the woke ever wake up in time to save themselves?

Slamming the door on 5781
Whilst we can all say Shehecheyanu with thanks to G-d for seeing us safely into a new year, 5781 is one of those exceptionally bad years that our people should be relieved to see the back of.
Our daily lives have been turned upside-down by the Wuhan
virus which has affected our livelihoods, separated families between streets as
well as countries, denied our children the education and social interactions
that go with normal school life and – perhaps even more difficult for all of us
Lovers of Zion – has prevented us from freely travelling to the land we love so
much. If the pandemic taught us anything, it was never to take things for
granted. Not health, not school, not air travel and not even basic freedoms …
even freedom of speech on social media.
Aside from all things Covid, 5781 was beset by many tragedies
in our global Jewish family. First came Meron on Lag B’Omer with the death of
45 men and boys in a stampede that left hundreds of others injured. Then the collapse
of the bleachers at a Hassidic gathering in Jerusalem on the eve of Shavuot killing
3 and injuring 200. A cable car accident in Italy wiped out 3 generations of an
Israeli family. A light airplane crash in Ukraine killed 3 yeshiva boys and a gangland
shooting in Denver ended the life of an 18-year-old yeshiva student. And then
the big one, a building collapse in the predominantly Jewish section of Miami Beach
claimed almost 100 lives in the worst accident of its kind in US history.
To add to the pandemic and all these tragedies came the
latest missile war from Gaza and the civil unrest that presented such an ugly
face in Israel’s mixed towns and neighbourhoods. That ugliness extended to us here
in the diaspora with an unprecedented rise in antisemitism here in the UK and
Europe but more surprisingly in the USA. The shine has now definitely worn off what
used to be called ‘the golden medina’.
In politics we lost both Trump and Netanyahu – a dream team for
Israel that is unlikely to reappear for a very long time. In their place we now
have Biden who is hopeless and Bennett who is feckless. Both men elected on
false pretences. One hopes karma will soon catch up with them and restore
strong and bold leadership to both nations.
Let’s pray that the mission is fulfilled speedily in our
days.
Shana Tova !

Why do the gender warriors support Hamas?
This is one of his recent podcasts where he touches on an amazing analysis of what kinds of people are pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. It's as fascinating as the second half is shocking in relation to the education of America's children.
