Or you could say, "You reap what you sow." They are just other ways to express what, in Hebrew, we call "mida k'neged mida."
An often ignored part of the geulah process is the judgment on the nations. Every western country which expelled its Jews is facing the music today. The Jews were only a blessing wherever they went, contributing to the communities where they settled through business, education, culture, medicine, science, etc.
Today, a cruel people has invaded those lands surrepticiously and are now demanding to impose their own religious law upon the entire population. The Europeans will comply or face expulsion themselves.
Some are coming to the realization that "Eurabia" was not such a good idea. More are taking to the streets in opposition, but authorities are in opposition to them. As in one case; a woman was arrested because she draped an English flag (with the red cross) over the side of a second floor stairs.
ReplyDeleteOne of the first blogs I ever read was Gates of Vienna:
ReplyDelete"At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war."
Eventually, the Muslims found a new strategy, and it's working. I have often said that Jews should let Esau (The West) and Ishmael (Arabs / Muslims) battle it out, and stay out of the way. Maybe this conflict will finally encourage Jews to get out of Europe.
A number of Jews in Europe do recognise the unfolding dire predicament they are in, unfortunately they are lumbered with others that are complacent, intent on staying put, solipsistic (if it did not affect them personally it may as well not exist and could not care less), in denial and who regrettably have a misplaced faith in anything (especially that which is clearly failing) other than fleeing and making Aliyah.
DeleteRegardless of a recalcitrant Galut Jew's personal identity (that ultimately matters only to them), even the most sympathetic nationalist would likely say something to the effect of "at least you have a country to go to, where do we flee to?"
Those in that predicament, should move forward nonetheless, and get their ducks in orderat least the minimum necessary, and all the while daven. Aliya should be the goal, but at the very least get out of hotspots. As for your last line, have seen such sentiments for ages now. At least the Jews have somewhere to go. But what is the point if they won't.

In the early nougthies, I told someone with French connections that France would become Muslim. She thought that I had lost the plot. It's not nevua, just reading the right people. It's always kita aleph. Forget who wrote it, but someone then said 'kita aleph' in France at the time showed a Muslim future. Someone also wrote that Muslims don't need to be a majority, at five percent of the population they behave like this, at ten percent and so on.
ReplyDeleteAn Algerian Muslim who spent seventeen years in the UK, left this year for various reasons, economic and social. Inter alia, he left on account of Muslim extremism in the UK and the support it receives from the authorities. Muslims are only at 6.5 percent of the UK and it's already bad. Also something is expected to happen that is going to set them off big time, in the next few months, not only in the UK, but especially so there. France is no better. The authorities in both countries have shown they are unable or unwilling to protect non Muslims. And Jews even less.
Some things just don't go away. The Pittsburgh massacre will forever be on the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht. So too a Muslim attack outside the only shul in Vienna to survive the Shoah also forever on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, 82 years later.
Am hahistoria refuses to learn from history.

Well, Chazal does tell us that at the end, Edom & Yishmael will battle it out but unite at the very end where they (the 70 nations) rise up and go
ReplyDeleteto Yerushalayim to go against the Yehudim (the War of Gog u-Magog).
I think it has already started and maybe from 10/7/23; but Am Yisrael
will be saved, but I do think MBD should be here by that time.
May this coming year bring us our final and ultimate Geulah!
C.S.
AMEN!!
DeleteI'm still waiting for the geula this year Be'D.

Prior to WW2, there were just under 40 million people in the UK and the coutnry refused to give even temporary haven to German and Austrian Jews, under a million. only children, and women willing to be domestic help were allowed in, and the children had to have guarantees. That was the kindertransport, effectively orphaned and entirely preventable. Those immigrants would have been actual doctors and scientists. Today there are about seventy million people in the UK, and an incessant invasion of young muslim men, so called refugees, who are then entitled to bring over their family members. No guarantees required for them, the opposite, they are given top of the range everything for free. They also claim to be children well into adulthood, and are treated as such with extra rights.
ReplyDeleteMida keneged mida indeed.
