7 Shevat 5772
Ever since I read R Nir Ben Artzi's latest projection at Bat Aliyah, I've had a growing suspicion about a certain possibility - a set up, so to speak. I've debated with myself since last week whether to say anything or not and now, I've decided it could possibly be a help to someone. Others may disagree, so there it is.
Even if nothing happens this time or it doesn't happen as I suggest, the fact remains that the possibilities for danger in the Diaspora are endless and if for no other reason than to re-emphasize this truth, I think further discussion is called for. The Chesed l'Avraham said that in the Last Days, the Land of Israel would be like the Ark of Noah. Why be like the mockers of his time? Why not take advantage of the protection that Hashem has provided for us?
Here is the part to which I am referring:
"Beginning next week, there will be a sharp increase of shock in the world and severe hatred of the Jews!"
So, I thought to myself, what could be a shock to the world that could be blamed on Jews? But, before I tell you what came to my mind, I'd like to backtrack just a bit.
Remember that article written by Atlanta Jewish Times publisher Andrew Adler?
"...In a Jan. 13 column, Adler outlined what he said were three possible responses by Israel to Iran's acquiring a nuclear weapon: a pre-emptive strike against Hamas and Hezbollah, terrorist groups that he said would be emboldened by a nuclear Iran; a direct strike on Iran; and 'three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies.'"
To me, this falls under Rabbi Winston's category of "That which is wondrous in our eyes..." Rabbi Pinhas Winston has a shiur on this quote from Tehillim and he says, in essence, that when something really stands out as unique and unusual, even improbable, it is likely from Hashem.
Think about the improbability of a person in Mr. Adler's position doing something so 'insane,' something so potentially self-destructive, even dangerous for the Jewish community as a whole.
This happened in Atlanta, the state capital of Georgia, where lo and behold, more unusual news concerning the president is coming out.
Obama could easily have lost Georgia eligibility case by “no-show” default
A hearing was held on January 26, 2012, in the Georgia Administrative Court room of Judge Michael Malihi for considering the eligibility of President Obama to appear on the Georgia 2012 Presidential Ballot.
The judge could have made a decision based on default because Obama was not there to prove his eligibility. The hearing was ignored by President Obama, his lawyers, and most of the mainstream media.
This is the third report by this writer for Examiner.com regarding the lawsuit brought against the President’s eligibility to be on the Georgia Ballot.
I'm sure that there is some hidden message in the fact that "Georgia" is the place where these events took place, but I'll leave that for you to ponder. What instantly engages me is the speculation that this continuing eligibiliy question, among other things, might make Obama too much of a liability in the coming election.
So, assuming that you are one of the global ruling elite, you might now be asking yourself how to replace an encumbent candidate who enjoys international popularity and put the eligibility question to rest forever?
Suddenly, an idea has been presented on a silver platter. A JEWISH publisher of a JEWISH newspaper in the American (traditionally anti-black) South has suggested that the "Mossad" remove Obama for Israel's sake. What could be better than this? Not only would it solve the 'problem,' but it has two very nice advantages. It could swing a sympathy vote back toward the Democrats and punish the Jews as well. What could be better than that for the antisemitic global ruling elite?
And don't think they haven't already thought of it! They didn't get where they are by being slow on the uptake. And just so the Joe Sixpacks don't miss it, they could arrange to have the potential perpetrator say or write how it was the publicity about the JEWISH newspaper editorial that inspired him.
I can already hear the Muslims cranking up the rhetoric about their Muslim brother and how he championed a Palestinian State and on and on. Instant Jew-hatred worldwide.
If you think another idea is more likely, all I want you to do is understand how vulnerable Jews are in the Diaspora, no more so than now when the Shechina has by all reports begun leaving.
Come home, dear brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons!! We love you and we miss you and want no harm to come to you at all. Please come home where we are protected under our Father's wings.
Here is the remainder of what R Nir Ben Artzi said on this subject:
At the time of the Egyptian exile, Moshe said to the Holy One, “Why have You made it so bad for the people?” and the intent was that the Holy One, who reigns over purity and impurity, gave permission to the sitra achra to chastise Am Yisrael even more. The same thing is happening now! The Holy One has given permission to the sitra achra, beginning next week, to disturb all the Jews outside of Eretz Yisrael! He will implant hatred within the nations against the Jews in order to drive out the Jews from their cars, their homes, their places of work, from their synagogues with no let-up! Because the Holy One’s patience has run out! If they come to Eretz Yisrael – they will have endless blessing!

The following article posits another possible scenario, “…The Islamonazis surely think that the dramatic spike in oil prices that will result from their planned shutdown of the Persian Gulf will trigger a global recession, and that a frightened, war-weary world will blame "the Zionists" (code for Israel and the Jewish people) and the U.S. for wrecking the global system. …”

That and the possibility that the US / NATO / Arab world or Israel itself take on Iran and Syria, which would again trigger a scenario like above with the wars being seen by a war-weary world as a “Jewish / Zionist / Israeli” war in a similar manner to how the left considers Iraq to be have been “Israel’s war”, despite the Saudis and other Sunnis for their own reasons also wanting to see the Shiites of Iran and Syria taken down like Saddam was.
Dear Devash......Yes We all feel we should come to Israel ....BUT where is the Mesirus Nefesh of the Frum commmunity to start helping us.......we fear being ripped off by some zionists...so to where should we move? and How..Is there a group of Frum people who are helping with Aliyah? ...Davora
oy vey. Really???
Unless someone is getting real guidance by a true torah sage and mekubal (whom I doubt would ever recommend a 'hit'), I would not want Obama to be an eternal martyr. I wish him health and retirement in one year from now.
On the other hand, should we expect some repeat of Yitzhak Rabin's provocative murder? Is Obama a liability to any powerful Dems who would want to take him down and put the blame on some poor Mossad agent who was set up?
Thanks for your thoughts, Jesterhead45. That's certainly another possibility. Hashem yerachem!
Davora, just google aliya information and you'll find quite a lot. There used to be an organization called Tehillah which specialized in religious aliyah. I could not find an internet presence for them. Maybe they no longer exist? But, you can also find online groups of English-speaking olim and vatikim from many cities in Israel who can give you place-specific information. Everything is on the internet.
Josh, I agree and I hope this will not be the scenario.
we would like R' Ner Ben Artzi to back up his statement that Parnassah is a no brainer in E"Y. If that is truly promised we are ready to go. How do I get his financial backing on paper?
Devash - I googled to see if there is an english version of this sefer Chesed L'Avraham. I only see a free download for the Hebrew in PDF.
Would you know of an English version online?
I am hoping that all those shofar sounds of the earth groaning that HaShem is sending throughout the lands will come to Boro Park!
It will give me one more finger wagging to other Yidden to go home where we belong!
Fear is a very powerful weapon. Our fears can even paralyze us, like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. Certainly minimizing the unknown is an excellent tool to reduce fear. By learning Israeli Real Estate laws, finance laws, etc. we can certainly know who wishes to "rip us off". What concerns me is that the fear of being "ripped off" may have paralyzed the frum community and thus not make aliyah. When we let go of our fears and walk with emunah and bitachon we are reassured that HaKadosh Baruch Hu is with us and guiding us. Consider this. Which is a greater loss all the money in the world or the loss of life of ONE Jew? We know from Torah that to save one life is to save the world. So, even knowing that you're going to be "ripped off" for the sake of saving your own life, Hasfes Shalom, means that the value of life out weighs the value of money. May HaKadosh Baruch Hu open the eyes of all Jews to see that it is our "mind", our way of thinking that "enslaves" us and "paralyzes" us. Shalom, Shalom from Tzfat
Tidbits of Torah - No, I'm sorry, I'm not aware of an English version online. I saw a hard copy of portions of it in English back in 5759.
So, here it is Wednesday and nothing yet. I have to admit that I will be very surprised if anything at all happens. There is something to be said after all for the fear factor, if it inspires us to good deeds.
Hashem really does not want to have to DO anything. Like a parent who has to threaten a child with a spanking. He'd rather not be forced to carry it out. It would be much better if the child would simply do his Father's will.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts.
