4th Day Chol HaMoed
Moadim l'Simchah!
I saw mention of this "new" B-5 visa in this morning's news and suddenly it dawned on me - this is the long-promised route to Christian aliyah. (See further here, here and here.) Make no mistake. This is the Christian side of the Abraham Accords!!
I vaguely recall seeing something about this last year, but now, in light of certain missionaries "making aliyah," it makes more of an impression. No longer does "Bishop" Plummer's bragging about bringing a million black Americans to "do business" in Israel sound like an exaggeration. (See "A Bridge for...Millions of African American Christians")
The following was published in an online Messianic resource in June 2019...
New visa to Israel – B-5 visa – Moving to Israel as an American investor
The United States and Israel have a unique relationship. As allies, they cooperate in the political, military and economic spheres. American politicians often declare that the US was founded on “Judeo-Christian” values, to emphasize the connection to Israel and the Jewish people.
...Many lovers of Israel find it difficult to secure a permanent residence or even long term visa in the Holy Land. Opportunities to immigrate to Israel are generally only available to Jews and family members / spouses of Jews and Israeli residents.
Messianic Jews face an even greater impediment from the Israeli immigration authorities (Misrad Hapnim). Messianic Jews are often denied the right to make Aliyah due to having “converted” to Christianity. Christians and Messianic Jews are sometimes even prevented from visiting Israel because they are suspected of being active missionaries, entering into Israel on a mission to convert the Jewish population. As the Border Control and Ministry of Interior are not answerable to authorities outside Israel, they are rarely required to prove that their suspicion has any basis in reality.
A solution for those Americans who wish to live in Israel – B-5 Investor visa
Only recently, after many years of speculation and negotiations, on the 1st of May 2019, Israel launched its first investment visa program that allows American foreign citizens to acquire a long term visa in Israel. The B-5 visa allows US citizens to invest in a business in Israel, reside in the country or visit it as often as they wish.
After receiving the visa, the investor and their family members (spouse and children under 21) may live, work and study in Israel with no restrictions. They are free to reside and work wherever they wish, not limited to the business enterprise for which the investment visa is granted.
The B-5 visa conditions – How to get the investor visa to Israel?
The new investment visa to Israel is only available for Americans and is granted only on the basis of a “meaningful” investment. The entrepreneur is required to purchase at least 50% of a “non-marginal” Israeli business. The business enterprise must contribute to the Israeli economy and employ Israeli citizens (or be demonstrably ready to do so soon after the visa is granted).
In addition, the investor can apply for work visas for US citizens who are skilled managers and workers to receive accompanying visas to reside in Israel while working in the Israeli business. Their family members can also reside and work in Israel.
American citizens are now granted an opportunity to acquire long term status in Israel with the new investment visa, which is a step in the right direction.
This "meaningful" investment is nothing but a "legal" bribe!!
Now we know how Tommy Waller and his Hayovel Ministry has managed to bring in 70 volunteers (how symbolic is that number?), as well as the Plummers have managed to "make aliyah" while Israel is under its second COVID-19 lockdown.
The Deal of the Century was announced in January of 2020 and the Abraham Accords have come out of that - all while the world is supposedly "fighting" a pandemic. This plandemic is the biggest distraction ever perpetrated on a global scale. Very nefarious machinations are going on under cover of this distraction and none of it bodes well for the Torah-faithful. Having these lockdowns davka during our holidays is meant to begin the breakdown of Orthodox Judaism - to destroy Judaism as it has traditionally been practiced for literally thousands of years, but HKB"H is only letting them do it so He can bring us back to our most authentic traditions - service in the Beit HaMikdash!
These missionaries had better not get too comfortable - their stay is going to be a very short one as Mashiach will deport them all if HKB"H doesn't outright make them disappear off the face of the earth!!
I'm taking time from my holiday to tell you this now because these days of Hoshanot are critical to the Redemption process. I hope you will understand just how dire our situation really is and that it will inspire your davening with the extra kavanot that is needed to reach the Kisei HaKavod and cause HKB"H to send Mashiach without any further delays. Ken, yehi ratzon!
Beni, you need to read the second from the last paragraph again. It seems you missed something.

ReplyDeleteIs there a stupider people than our own? What does it take for the Jew to wake up and I don't only mean the ignorant secular Jew, but even the observant ones who fall prey so easily to chanifah that their sechel leaves their minds. This, in my opinion is the worst of all the tragedies besetting us at this time. If Jews don't wake up to this and not only daven with kavanah, but literally 'unite' to beseech the Heavens and then H' will surely answer us. The Geulah is not only what we 'wish' for but it is the 'necessity of life'! H' yerachem aleinu!
ReplyDeleteBTW, loved the second to last paragraph you wrote here, Devash!
Thanks.
Devash - I shared your post with a LinkedIn friend because she wrote this:
ReplyDeleteHow come Christian Missionaries are allowed to Enter Israel during the Lockdown, But Most Jews May Not? (Judean Rose)
Just thought you'd like to know. Great minds think alike!
