A Possible Key to the Meron Tragedy

21 Iyyar 5781

36 Days of the Omer

How is it possible to know if what happened in Meron was not just a tragic accident or whether it was a malicious act perpetrated upon the religious public?  Answer: When the media immediately steps in to contradict eye-witness and survivor testimony and creates an alternative narrative which they then push with all their might.  Because it was force-fed to every consumer of the media, that word "stampede" quickly took hold and now it is being used exclusively to portray the event as a bunch of out-of-control people intent on fending for themselves with no regard for others.  (Correction:  You can add the word "trampling" to that as well.)  From sources that I trust outside the mass media, I know that to be a complete misrepresentation.

Sad to say that Yeshiva World News, despite its religious appearance, is just another lackey of the NWO, but most of my readers already knew that.  I knew as soon as I saw that word "stampede" on their site yesterday that this would be one of those times that they would not be on the side of the truth.  (They pick and choose, I'm sure because of the orders they receive from above.  If they always lied, who would ever be fooled by them?)  So, their headline story today brings a brand new perspective which "may explain" how it happened and it completely absolves the police.

Someone noted that the words are descriptive of cattle and I added a video of cattle being herded to the slaughterhouse.  It did not look a lot different from the chutes and barriers the police set up to control crowds.  Think about it.  When did the "authorities" begin exerting so much "crowd-control"?  Realize, too, that a phrase we've been hearing for over a year - herd immunity - is also a reference to animals.  It has also been commented that the Elites of the NWO consider the bottom rungs of humanity to be just so much cattle to them.

But, however much we believe that the tragedy that occurred in Meron on Lag BaOmer was not an accident, but was something orchestrated by those whom we already identified as wanting to destroy Torah Judaism and those who embody it, we also know that they could not have succeeded without the permission of the Master of the Universe.  So, that brings us to the bigger, and most important, question:  Why did HKB"H let it happen?

I noticed that there is a common theme, if you will, running through the major events of the last, at least, year and a half.  And it is not unique to me.  I have heard others pondering the same thing.  How many times and how many ways and in how many diverse situations have we heard this phrase repeated...

"I CAN'T BREATHE."

From COVID patients on ventilators, to excessive and inappropriate police force, to mask mandates, and yes, even to the killing field at Meron, where it is reported that people begged the police to open up the gates because people could not breathe, some fainting and falling for lack of air, the dead falling victim to asphyxiation.

I think this has to be the key to an ongoing, unrelenting warning emanating from Shamayim.

Everyone said this was going to be the first large-scale event to take place in Israel since the lifting of Corona restrictions, i.e. a huge step toward returning to "normal" for the religious public.  But what if HKB"H isn't ready for that to happen, isn't ready for the fear to fade completely, because it has been serving a greater purpose in preparing us for another reality?

You can't judge from the victims.  By all accounts, they were pure and unblemished korbanot and all you have to do is look at their faces in the pictures to know that is true.  But what of the rest of us who are still in the game, still making choices, still determining our eternity?  Are we really ready to receive our Mashiach, to ascend to the level of Har Sinai and come into the actual presence of the Shechinah?

Can we even have any clue about what it is going to take to bring us - all of us - to that level?  Clearly, the vast, vast majority of humanity can't survive it, but for the sake of the few more who will make it in because of these Divine wake-up calls, the warning bells are still sounding - whether they be missile alerts or the sirens of ambulances in a mass-casualty disaster, or something yet unseen. 

I don't know how many are aware, because the mainstream news sources are not covering it, but the Arabs are continuing to riot and perpetrate attacks which are increasing daily.  They are back to gathering at the border fence along the Gaza Strip and sending incendiary devices across that then set fire to property on the Jewish side.  The IDF and police are warning about a pending escalation due to the convergence of several things:  the final days of Ramadan, the eviction of 25 Arab families from the Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in Jerusalem, the cancellation of PA elections, and the 'celebration' of Al Quds Day.

On the Iran front, the US has made a deal.  Israel will most certainly be sold out.  WiIl this finally push Binyamin Netanyahu to act?  Will political desperation??  If, God forbid, we do finally come to an outbreak of open warfare with Iran, this "We Can't Breathe" theme has me conjuring images of gas masks and gas attacks, r"l, lo aleynu!  Hashem have mercy on His children!

Maybe it's as simple as the fact that when HKB"H created us, the Torah says, He breathed life into us.  Maybe this is all about telling the world that we have sunk so low that we no longer have any right to breathe on this earth - much like the state of the world before the Deluge - and the day is coming when the breathe will be sucked right out of the vast majority of humanity if we don't all of us do teshuvah for everything we can think of right now.
