My Inspiration and Goal

I had no plan to write about Friedman's book.  I don't think it has any chance of success.  In fact, I will be surprised to see him in Trump's new administration.  He will likely go the way of Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo.  

What finally inspired me to put this series together was a podcast I listened to during which I was a bit shocked and a lot disappointed to hear someone I greatly respect express hope for David Friedman's return to the political scene, as well as some positive comments regarding the Abraham Accords.  How???

I really don't get how otherwise intelligent, informed people can still be fooled by these posers. Why does this blind spot exist?  Why is there this trust in Jews who have risen to power by investing their own lives into the welfare and success of a foreign nation which is our enemy - the inheritor of Rome?  It must just be that the facts have not been in evidence.

Therefore, my goal here is very simple: to hopefully eliminate the blind spot through the establishment of the truth as demonstrated by the facts.  A fox does not belong in the chicken house.  He certainly should not be welcomed and invited inside.  A fox won't view the safety and security needs of the chickens the same way the chickens do.

Let's re-read a portion of a quote that posted yesterday in Part 3...

The fundamental motivation of the United States and Saudi Arabia in this context has not changed. The United States wants to forge a new regional order, which it will lead, to make it easier for itself and for Middle Eastern nations to deal with Iran—and also to indicate that it is not abandoning the region. Saudi Arabia, for its part, wants to cement its regional standing and bolster its status and security, particularly vis-à-vis Iran, by strengthening its ties with Washington.

...Saudi Arabia—Riyadh is primarily concerned about the benefits it will receive from the United States.

Clearly, the Abraham Accords is not primarily about "peace," despite the advertising.  Peace is merely the means to an end - money, power and global rule.  And the peace only lasts as long as the benefits accrue.  If Israel must be the sacrificial lamb, well, what else is new?

It's instructive to read the official text that the nations signed on to...

Text of the Abraham Accords Declaration

We, the undersigned, recognize the importance of maintaining and strengthening peace in the Middle East and around the world based on mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom.

We encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity.

We believe that the best way to address challenges is through cooperation and dialogue and that developing friendly relations among States advances the interests of lasting peace in the Middle East and around the world.

We seek tolerance and respect for every person in order to make this world a place where all can enjoy a life of dignity and hope, no matter their race, faith or ethnicity.

We support science, art, medicine, and commerce to inspire humankind, maximize human potential and bring nations closer together.

We seek to end radicalization and conflict to provide all children a better future.

We pursue a vision of peace, security, and prosperity in the Middle East and around the world.

In this spirit, we warmly welcome and are encouraged by the progress already made in establishing diplomatic relations between Israel and its neighbors in the region under the principles of the Abraham Accords. We are encouraged by the ongoing efforts to consolidate and expand such friendly relations based on shared interests and a shared commitment to a better future. (Source)

You can read between the lines and understand the upshot of this is still to deny the unique status of Israel and its Torah-mandated destiny, as the typically Chr*stian America (Western Civilization) continues their 2000-year effort to usurp that role.

In fact, we are caught in the middle of a power struggle for the future of the world.  Some people firmly believe that "as goes America, so goes the world" and it really goes down to Eisav and Yishmael.  The West has had some great success in modernizing and moderating Islam in many areas, but Iran is a notable hold-out and currently the only remaining credible threat to American hegemony in the Middle East.

According to his book review on Amazon, David Friedman is "one of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords."  Aside from this push to annex Judea and Samaria (for reasons that actually appear to be nefarious), this association with the Abraham Accords has earned Friedman the highest praise and respect among Torah Jews, undeservedly so in my opinion.

Let's look back at the vaunted Abraham Accords - what it was and what it isn't and whether it was ever good for Israel or just another step towards eventual annihilation by assimilation and integration.

Abraham Accords, series of agreements to normalize relations between Israel and several Arab states. The accords, all of which were signed in the latter half of 2020, consist of a general declaration alongside bilateral agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. The name of the accords was given in reference to the supposed common ancestor of the Jews and the Arabs, the biblical Abraham, and as an expression of brotherhood.

...Israel and several Arab states had already established and maintained clandestine relations to some degree.

[Another example of Trump et al. getting credit for facts already on the ground same as with a United Jerusalem and possession of the Golan Heights etc.]

The Abraham Accords brought Israel’s relations with Arab countries out into the open and shifted the paradigm of the Arab-Israeli conflict. On the pretext of stopping Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank in July 2020, the United Arab Emirates engaged in negotiations to normalize relations. Sweetened with an offer from the United States to sell 50 F-35 combat jets to the United Arab Emirates, a deal was announced in August. The United Arab Emirates indicated that normalization would provide it with increased leverage to intervene on behalf of the Palestinians, but observers speculated that the deal would encourage the Arab states to set aside the Palestinian cause when it suited those states’ interests.

Another Gulf Arab state quickly followed suit. Just days before Israel and the United Arab Emirates were due to sign their agreement, a deal was announced between Israel and Bahrain to normalize relations, and the small island country joined representatives of the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and the United States on the White House lawn days later. (Source) 

Ironically, although it was uncertainty about American commitment that paved the path to the Abraham Accords, in the end it was American leverage that led to their consummation. (Source)

Typical American wheeling and dealing, promises (at Israel's expense), bribes and threats, forcing everyone else to bend to their will.  But, one thing you can count on is this - whatever good was to be gained from it was taken for themselves!

The big prize of adding Saudi Arabia to the list has already been brought front and center by the new incoming Trump Administration.  Let's go back for a minute and review the Saudi demands up to now.

As I wrote in a post dated 24 September 2024, a mere six weeks ago...

In order to make this "deal," Saudi Arabia wants the US to provide them with a nuclear umbrella (against the day Iran gets nukes) and they want the control of Har Habayit taken out of Jordan's hands and transferred over to them. (Riyadh seeks to reboot Temple Mount status quo with peace deal)

Notwithstanding the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, and perhaps even because of it, diplomatic contacts aimed at advancing a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia have continued. The US administration has worked hard to move this process forward after Hamas’s attack on October 7, which was intended to thwart the move, and after Iran, through its various proxies, joined the conflict. However, after six months of combat, it is possible to make the following cautious assessment: The fundamental motivation of the United States and Saudi Arabia in this context has not changed. The United States wants to forge a new regional order, which it will lead, to make it easier for itself and for Middle Eastern nations to deal with Iran—and also to indicate that it is not abandoning the region. Saudi Arabia, for its part, wants to cement its regional standing and bolster its status and security, particularly vis-à-vis Iran, by strengthening its ties with Washington.

...Saudi Arabia—Riyadh is primarily concerned about the benefits it will receive from the United States. These include a defense pact to ensure the kingdom’s security against Iran; the provision of advanced American arms and ammunition, including F-35 fighter jets; and American assistance in establishing a civilian nuclear infrastructure, including operating a nuclear fuel cycle within Saudi Arabia. In addition, the Saudis have several demands of Israel. The main one is that Jerusalem agrees to advance the two-state solution and recognize the “renewed” Palestinian Authority as the responsible entity for the Palestinian arena. Previously, the Saudis had wanted Israel to express implied support for the two-state solution, while maintaining diplomatic flexibility; however, since October 7, they have been demanding practical steps from Israel, such as transferring the administration of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority, in order to stabilize the Palestinian arena. It appears that Riyadh has accepted that the resumption of the normalization process with Israel will be linked to greater Saudi involvement in Gaza and planning for “the day after Hamas.” Of course, all of this depends on the Americans accepting the Saudis’ demands and on Israel’s agreeing to certain aspects of the demands that it may find problematic, such as allowing Saudi Arabia to acquire nuclear capability and the erosion of Israel’s relative military advantage.

United States—Washington is demanding domestic reforms from Saudi Arabia, as well as a stable oil supply and a reduction in Saudi ties with China in various areas, including technological, military, and nuclear cooperation. In return, the Biden administration is seeking Saudi agreement to normalize relations with Israel as part of a regional integration process aimed at countering Iranian influence. Additionally, the United States expects Saudi Arabia to play a role in the new regional order by assisting with the Palestinian arena, particularly in stabilizing, administering, and rebuilding the Gaza Strip, as well as helping the Palestinian Authority reform itself and become an effective governing body.

...The Biden administration recognizes that the Israeli government is facing challenges in making significant strategic decisions due to domestic political considerations. Therefore, they are working to advance certain actions without the agreement of the Israeli government and are willing to impose measures that Israel may find difficult to accept. In this context, they are expanding humanitarian aid to Gaza, establishing a temporary port on the Gaza coast, supporting reforms in the Palestinian Authority, working toward the establishment of a new technocratic government, and preparing for the formation of a Palestinian force to maintain public order in the Gaza Strip, with the involvement of Jordan and Egypt.

In my opinion, many, many Jews have been mislead about who David Friedman is and what he stands for.  It is my view that his persona has been carefully crafted to sell the New World Order's idea of a new, all-inclusive religion (Judeo-Chr*stianity) based on the New Testament vision of the One New Man (Judeo-Chr*stians) to gullible Jews.  

The New World Order, though purporting to be global, is really an evolutionary step for Western Civilization.  It would see all the world's religions become united under the dominion of Chr*stianity as defined by the Pope, to whom all other world religious leaders pay homage of one sort or another.  

According to them, Jerusalem must remain united with a ''Temple'' on the Temple Mount but under international (Vatican) control as a "House of Prayer" (i.e., church) "for all nations" (read religions).  Any Jew insisting on following the Torah in all its details, especially with regard to foreigners and avodah zarah, will be labeled an "extremist" and treated accordingly.

Don't be fooled.  This "One Jewish State" won't be Jewish as determined by the Torah, but as defined by Zionism.  It will just be an expanded version of the Zionist "Jewish" State we have now, where all of the currently-named "Palestinians" who are willing to lay aside their objections will magically be turned into Israeli Arabs through annexation.

With God's help, this will be the first part in a multi-part series on an issue that I feel is urgent and critical at this point in time.  It will be multi-part because the information, I believe, is so important that each part will be kept short enough so that the reader will not be overwhelmed and will be able to focus and take it to heart.  Please do take the time to click on embedded links for extra very important information.

The subject at hand actually first came up at the end of October when I received the following information about former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman...

In February, former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman introduced the first draft of a one-state plan for Israel and the territories, and last month, he presented the idea to lawmakers in the Knesset. The plan will be detailed in his upcoming book, One Jewish State: The Last, Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which is set to be published on September 3.  (Ynet)

David Friedman explained his "One Jewish State" plan at a Middle-East Summit held on October 27, 2024 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Jerusalem. It was sponsored by Israel 365 [Tuly Weisz] and the Keep God's Land organization [also Tuly Weisz].  Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote the foreward for Friedman's book.

One of the leading architects of the historic Abraham Accords, David Friedman explains why in these turbulent and dangerous times, the simple phrase of three words – ONE JEWISH STATE – must be the guideline for Israel and the world’s collective future. (Amazon book review)

[See also ‘Middle East Summit’ in Jerusalem calls for a new way forward; Mainstreaming the Judea & Samaria settlement movement - opinion]

When the JPost becomes a platform for the plan, you know it is not good for the Jews and has full approval from Washington, DC., another bad sign.

As of 11 am in Israel THIS IS STILL A BREAKING STORY.  Clear and irrefutable evidence has been exhibited to prove this was not a spontaneous event but a planned attack.  

Added @ 13:53 - The Dutch people celebrating the pogrom.

"And Hashem said to Avram: 'Lech-lecha from your land, from your birthplace and from your father's house towards the land that I will show you.'" (Bereishit 12:1)

Notice that the command to leave occurs in three stages, each one more difficult than the one before: 1) your country; 2) your city and state; 3) the house on the street where you grew up. Each step tugs a little harder on your heart as you anticipate the leave-taking, also knowing that it is good-bye forever - only looking forward into the future, never looking back to the past. 

But, there is a comforting promise hidden in the first two words - lekh lekha. It can be read as go for yourself.  It can be understood as go for your own good, for your ultimate good.  There is no place more nourishing (Land of milk...) or sweeter for the soul (and honey); no place better suited for you to accomplish your mission in life than Eretz Yisrael.  Lekh lekha - do it, says Hashem.  But don't do it for Me.  Do it for yourself.  Even if it might not always feel like it, it's the best thing - the most important thing - you could ever do.  

It's your privilege and your destiny!!

To Be Fair...

(Listen to the report on "X" or Youtube.)

Trump's first term was seen as very good for the Jews, but his sense of fair play is likely to sideline the Jews in the next term in favor of "fairness" to the Arabs.

Omitting US Jews, Trump hails ‘historic’ coalition that propelled his election win

Trump says Netanyahu "never wanted peace" with the Palestinians

... Trump said, “We were going to do something for them [Palestinians] in a different part of Jerusalem. I said, 'Look, Israel just gained a point. The next point is going to be theirs. They're going to get something very big that they want.' I let them know that."

He's a wheeler-dealer, horse trader.  He owes the Arabs now for the Michigan win. 

In scene unimaginable 4 years ago, Michigan Arabs bask in Trump win they helped clinch

...Attendees at the election watch party hailed from various areas throughout the Middle East — from the Palestinian territories to Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. But they were unanimous about their primary reason for backing Trump: They believe he can succeed in ending the ever-expanding Israel-Hamas war where Biden has failed.

No matter who won the US Presidential election, it was never going to be good for the Jews.  America itself is no longer "good for the Jews." Actually, the only place left in this world which is good for the Jews is Eretz Yisrael.

Too many Jews still have not internalized this basic Truth - Ayn od mi HKB"H levado!!

Hatred For Torah Has No Place Here

5 Marcheshvan 5785

The 18th of Marcheshvan (Nov. 5, 1990) is the yahrtzeit of Rabbi Meir David Kahane, ztz"l, Hy"d.  Today, a day following the Gregorian date, the Jerusalem Post has published a typically scathing op-ed taking Rabbi Kahane's name in vain.  The hatred still expressed with such venom 34 years after his assassination is testimony to the real reason behind it - the threat posed by Torah Judaism to the Greek ideas of democracy.

'Enough': How we must stand against Kahanism in the Israeli Knesset - opinion

The 25th Knesset and the 37th government of the State of Israel have presented us with a series of unprecedented events, decisions, and phenomena that pose a significant threat to Israeli democracy and the future of Israeli society.

The most severe of these is the entry of Kahanism into the mainstream of Israeli politics and the legitimacy this ideology is gaining among large segments in politics, even in unexpected places. For example, with a young secular woman from Tel Aviv.

Last week, Social Equality and Women’s Advancement Minister May Golan – a member of Likud, once the party that led the boycott against Meir Kahane in the Knesset – delivered one of the most embarrassing displays seen in the plenum, as she shouted and waved her arms seeking to defend the tarnished honor of Michael Ben-Ari, a declared Kahane supporter disqualified from running for the Knesset.

[See further here: Political Trial of Former MK Dr. Michael Ben-Ari Began Today]

...What is required of us today is no longer a “battle of containment” but a concerted effort to push this dangerous phenomenon from the center of Israeli existence to the extreme and illegitimate margins to which it belongs.

The writer is a Labor Party MK.

The hysterical fear and loathing for Torah is on full display in this diatribe.  Like the Arabs with their 22 other countries, this scared little rabbit can choose from many democratic countries to live in with democratic ideals.  Israel is supposed to be the one and only JEWISH country where we can have JEWISH government and JEWISH life.  If it's not Torah-based and Torah-centered, it ain't JEWISH at all.  

When it comes right down to it, Jew-hatred is really hatred for the Torah and for HKB"H Himself.  It's bad enough that we have to put up with it from the world.  Why should we continue to contend with it from within our own ranks?

It's high time, and even well past it, "to push this dangerous phenomenon" of Torah-hatred completely out of Israeli existence.

"Renouncing American citizenship used to be free, and not much talked about, until 2010 – the year when the new regulation known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) was signed into law. That year the fee for renouncing was set at $450. In 2014, this was hiked by 422 percent, to $2,350."

"The Heart of a King is in the Hands of Hashem"

The Race For The Presidency Of The United States: 

Donald Trump Or Joe Biden Kamala Harris?

It all depends on our relationship with HKB"H.  If we've done proper teshuvah and earned HKB"H's blessing, the 'king's' heart will be turned to do good by us.  On the other hand, "...and if they don't repent?  HKB"H will send a king like Haman."  The name of the 'king' does not matter - Trump, Biden, Harris...  "The heart of the king is in the hands of Hashem."  

The Paro of Yosef Hatzadik's time had great respect for the Jews "and then arose a Paro who did not know Yosef."  The commentaries say it is not clear whether this was a new Paro or the same Paro with a new attitude.

FEAR ONLY HASHEM

Parashat Noach

"Now the earth had become corrupt before God; and the earth had become filled with robbery. And God saw the earth and behold it was corrupted, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth." (Bereishit 6.11-12)

We are there again and not only that, the nearly 8 billion people in this world are ready to kill each other off.  More importantly, the nations of the world fervently desire to rid this world of its Jews, for whom the world exists. Only a very, very small minority of this world's inhabitants care about ratzon Hashem and giving Him the honor due Him as Creator, King and Father.

We, the faithful of Hashem, may be few in number, but we have a glorious future ahead of us...

...For your Master is your Maker - Hashem, Master of Legions is His Name; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel - God of all the world shall He be called. ....For but a brief moment have I forsaken you, and with abundant mercy shall I gather you in. With a slight wrath have I concealed My countenance from you for a moment, but with eternal kindness shall I show you mercy, said your Redeemer, Hashem.

For like the waters of Noah shall this be to Me: As I have sworn never again to pass the waters of Noah over the earth, so have I sworn not to be wrathful with you or rebuke you.  For My kindness shall not be removed from you and My covenant of peace shall not falter, says the One Who shows mercy, Hashem. (Haftarah, Parashat Noach)

Ayn Od Milevado!

"My children, do not fear. All that I have done, I have done only for your sake.   Why are you afraid?  The time for your redemption has come.  And there is no need to fear."
