The headline of the day in Israel concerns a first-time public admission that Israel was the one who bombed Syria's nuclear reactor in 2007. I thought the readers might like to hear what Eli Yishai had to say about that event today...
During the bombing of the reactor in Syria I served as Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor, deputy prime minister and a member of Olmert's limited "kitchen." On that dramatic day, and after many discussions by the seven on attacking and destroying the reactor, the Cabinet convened to approve the operation. I told the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense that if they wanted my consent, I must go to Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zt"l and ask for a blessing for the operation.
During the cabinet discussion I went to Maran's house. I asked the attendees to leave and leave us alone, without anyone present or cameras and recorders, I explained to him what is involved and the importance of the action and its possible implications. In the clarity of his knowledge and understanding, Maran immediately understood the necessity of the matter and blessed with warm and loving heart the security forces that they should go out and return safely.
I left his house and returned to the cabinet. Olmert and Barak asked me what the rabbi said, I informed them that Maran had allowed me to vote in favor and gave his blessing. Despite the tension between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Barak, there was an overwhelming majority in favor of the attack, and only Minister Avi Dichter objected. Finally, the decision was taken by the cabinet and the operation was launched.
Today it is possible to understand how critical was the blessing of the operation by Maran zt"l and his warm prayers for the success of the action. Today, as then, in every process and step, we did not take one step without consulting and be blessed by the light of the generation, and with God's help to sanctify the name of heaven. How much we must thank the miracles that God does with us and remember that "My strength and the power of my hand did not make me this force," but the help of God and the mercy of the heavens.

...As a top U.S. Jewish leader, Lauder is actively involved in numerous organizations, including the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Jewish National Fund and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. ...Lauder said that Israel "will face a stark choice" to either "grant Palestinians full rights and cease being a Jewish state "or "rescind their rights and cease being a democracy." The only way to avoid either choice is with a two-state solution, he added.
U.S. President Donald Trump had said the U.S. would support a two-state solution if agreed upon by both sides. Lauder, who is a supporter of Trump, has reportedly been advising him on how to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, urging him to invest effort in serious negotiations that would lead to the creation of a Palestinian state. "The second, two-prong threat is Israel’s capitulation to religious extremists and the growing disaffection of the Jewish diaspora. Most Jews outside of Israel are not accepted in the eyes of the Israeli ultra-Orthodox, who control ritual life and holy places in the state," added Lauder.
"Many non-Orthodox Jews, myself included, feel that the spread of state-enforced religiosity in Israel is turning a modern, liberal nation into a semi-theocratic one," he wrote.
"We must change course. We must push for a two-state solution and find common ground among ourselves so that we can ensure the success of our beloved nation," he concluded.
Despite the fact that carving out yet another enemy Arab state from Israel's heart is tantamount to national suicide, "Democracy" and "Democratic ideals" must be preserved even at this high cost? Oh, no. It's not gonna happen. HKB"H won't let it. This "Democracy" god is going to fall just like all the false gods of Egypt.
You shall observe My commandments and perform them; I am Hashem, You shall not desecrate My holy Name, rather I should be sanctified among the Children of Israel; I am Hashem Who sanctifies you, Who took you out of the land of Egypt to be a God unto you; I am Hashem. (Vayikra 22.31-33)
If Hashem is not our God, then there is no reason to leave Egypt. If Hashem is not our God, but "Democracy" is, we have no reason to be in Eretz Yisrael at all. But, if you actually believe that, you are a "religious extremist" and the "Beloved" Modern Democratic State of Israel must be cleansed of you. These who deify and worship the State and Democracy and Humanistic Ideals over Hashem and Torah truth are the real "extremists."
For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the spring of living waters, to dig for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that do not hold water. (Yirmiyahu 2.13)
Just like these stupid arguments do not hold water. Give the Arabs a state from which to annihilate us so we can keep our Democratic Dreams. Poke God in the eye by telling Jews they don't have to observe the Torah to its minutest detail so we can "ensure the success of our beloved nation." In both instances, were the wishes of Ron Lauder to be fulfilled, it would actually bring about the very thing he claims to wish to avoid. And this is precisely why the State-god and the Democracy-god must go. And it is also precisely why this voice of American Jewry, regardless of whose mouth it comes out of, will be silenced.
4 Nisan 5778 This is why HKB"H said to drive them out and today, it would be so much easier on everyone involved if it had been done in the very beginning. They will never give up believing we stole it from them!
3 Nisan 5778 Perhaps the hardest thing about life in Olam Hazeh is the confusion that can result from the ability to believe both the truth and the lie. It's what enables human beings to have free will, but it means that a lie can be equally believable with the truth, especially if one is not well-grounded in the truth. Any lie can be rationalized by the human mind. Take those who believe in miracle-workers because of the wonders they can perform. If one did not already know from the Torah HaKadosh that HKB"H warned us in advance that He enables false prophets to perform wonders in order to test us, we might readily fall into this trap. It is interesting that prophecy can be a source of such confusion and that prophecy is the point of connection between so many errant Jews and Christians today. For example, Jews and Christians look at the same prophecy and one sees Yeshu in it and the other doesn't. Errant Jews are choosing to believe that Christians coming to study "Bible" (a word itself which is used because it can be interpreted by each hearer as including or excluding the New Testament, depending on who is using it) are fulfilling ancient Hebrew prophecies. They should really know better. Anyone who knows our Torah also knows that the whole idea behind the prophesied masses coming to learn Torah at the End of Days carries with it the idea of them having rejected and renounced their former false beliefs and practices. And such is simply not the case here as they even continue to call themselves "Christians" (proudly, I might add) and make mention of the man-idol-god at the center of their worship. Free will allows them to deceive themselves and others. And that is the unfortunate consequence of free will. People who forsake the truth and embrace the lie always believe in their heart of hearts that they are doing the right thing. And none of us are immune. Our only recourse is to ensure 100% compliance with Torah and halachah. We must follow HKB"H's instructions to the letter with no additions or subtractions of our own invention, no matter how well-meant we imagine them to be.
2 Nisan 5778 Shavua tov! Fourth Adar Message from Meir Yisroel: I want you to understand that this is no joke, that
I have been feeling this for a few weeks already. I
am panic stricken as a child, and I am panic
stricken as a Neshoma. I know it has to be. We are
going to see in the next few weeks many signs of
an imminent attack on Israel. At least for those
who read the news there will be signs. For others
it will come as a surprise, but as the saying goes it
will be the “shot that reverberated around the
world” and it will bring us into World War Three, Hashem Yishmor. [Note from Devash: The replacement of SoS Tillerson with the more "hawkish-on-Iran" Pompeo, together with Debka's report that US Pres Trump is "postponing his Israel-Palestinian peace plan indefinitely," I believe, could point to a US - Iran showdown in the immediate offing with Israel right in the middle of it.] When we sit at the table on Pesach it will be very serious and Yetzias Mitzrayim won’t
seem like a story anymore. We are going to be living it in present time and like the
Makkos before Yetzias Mitzrayim this will also take twelve months. We will see great
wonders and we will see death and devastation. However, the only way to survive this
very special time in history is with total trust in Hashem, unquestionable Bitachon in
Hashem and that alone will bring us through this next year without any harm, Be’ezras
Hashem. It is time for Am Yisroel to go back to the Truth which is Ain Od Milvado.
Hakadosh Boruch Hu is the Hakol Yachol and our only future is to give up the senseless
Gashmius, the senseless Lashon Hora and come back to Hashem completely. Go back
to the simplicity, to the greatness of the true Jewish home, go back to our learning the
way it is supposed to be, Leshem Shomayim and the Ikar again, total trust in Hashem. I Bentch us all that we should get through this with total Bitachon and when we see
Moshiach with our eyes and with our Neshoma, that Hashem will help us to recognize
him. From that moment on we won’t have any more real worries. We will be the Am
Yisroel that Hashem wants us to be. Shenizka Kulanu L’Kabel Pinei Moshiach Tzidkainu Berachamim U’visimcha. We should
be Zoche to great Moshiach Tzidkainu with mercy and joy.
Fifth Adar Message from Meir Yisroel: Mommy the world is about to explode. Only fools
and the very uninformed could deny what I have
just said. Everywhere we look in the world
something unusual and very often terrible is
happening, besides the actual natural events of
huge proportions that nobody can deny because
we can see with our own eyes and feel it clearly
making a huge difference in our everyday lives. We
have other movie-like threats to our existence
that I am not sure are real at all but only the Reshoim trying to confuse us into thinking
that some strange object like a Chinese space station is about to hit the earth
endangering the unknown place where it might hit with its highly toxic and very
poisonous waste. In the last few years NASA with its lies has seemed to be in competition with reports
of the mini solar system of Nibiru for front page news. However, the difference is that
Nibiru is a fact and it is coming towards us at a very fast speed. Nibiru and its solar
system have been foretold in the Seforim like the Zohar, etc. and it even describes how
two thirds of the world will be destroyed when it passes by the earth. However false
information coming out of NASA time and again of huge meteorites, and now a fallen
Chinese space station hit the headlines, and when the time comes for it to happen
evaporates like it was never said. This method of dreaming up fantastic threats against
our existence that NASA has been using time and again only to confuse us. I want to make it clear that the mini solar system called Nibiru or Hashavit in the Zohar
is very close. The natural disasters that governments all over the world are trying with
no real success to deny are happening and it was foretold in the Nevuas that two thirds
of the world will be destroyed, one third almost completely, one third will be hurt very
badly and one third will not be damaged. If you are a believer in G-D then you know
that everything that has been written in our Sifrei Kodesh in one way or another has
become a reality and this is a fact and it is about to affect the whole world. No one can
argue the truth that since the early 1980s all of the major countries of the world have
been building luxury bunkers deep into the ground all over the world. They have been
building these bunkers secretly using the tax payer’s money to do it with. They have
been brazenly without any kind of fear siphoning off money secretly from their citizens
to ensure the survival of the evil ones that control the world today. I know that I have written this before, maybe in a different way, however this solar
system is about to visit earth very soon, not in years maybe in months but it is close. A huge World War is on the horizon. We can already see it happening. We can see
gigantic preparations going on in every country for the moment when the largest of all
World Wars will begin, Hashem Yishmor. In a short time, it will take the lives of many
people and when I say many I cringe even to think how many. When the mini solar
system finally appears it will be after this war or coinciding with it. I do know one thing
that Hashem created this world for Am Yisroel, in order that His chosen people could
overcome the Yetzer Hora that they took into themselves when they went against
Hashem’s will and ate from the Tree of Knowledge. They realized after they did this
what a terrible thing they did and they realized that in the future life would not be the
Gan Eden that they knew up to that point. They accepted their new status and since
then man has been fighting the Yetzer Hora which has caused death and destruction
to individuals, to groups, to countries to this very day. We are at the end of a terrible
Galus. The people of the world have not waged a war against their Yetzer Hora. They turned
bad into good and good into bad even if they believe in the Aseres Hadibros. For
example, “you shall not kill,” they interpret as thou shall not kill but if it’s a Jew or some
other person that you don’t want then its Muter/ allowable. Their commandments are
only connected to their own desires. Am Yisroel was given the Torah and for all those
thousands of years since the first official Jew, Avrohom Ovinu who wasn’t formally
given the Torah but was born with a knowledge of the Torah we have been fighting the
evil ones and trying to be what Hashem wants us to be. This is a huge task that is almost impossible because Hashem has tested us in a most
difficult way. He has chosen us to fight the Yetzer Hora in order to become worthy of
being His servants for eternity. There are comparatively very few of us in this world
that are real Jews but even though all around us there is chaos and destruction, He will
save every Jewish Neshoma. We are at the lowest of all the generations and yet in the
end will be the highest and the closest to Hashem. I am not going to attempt to describe exactly how this will happen. At this point of
history, it seems, Chas Veshalom almost an impossible thing but we will survive! We
will reject, if we haven’t already, the Yetzer Hora and we will cling to Hakadosh Boruch
Hu so-to-speak. We will come back to Him completely leaving behind us all the Sheker
of this world. We will throw away the Sheker that we once wanted to believe in and
run towards the Truth which will bring us eternal life. Prepare yourself! It is
coming soon. It will be frightening and it will be hard but with Hashem’s help and our
own determination we will finally reach the end of the Galus and the entrance to Gan
Eden will be revealed to us. We will enter the Bais Hamikdosh worn out by all the conflicts, extremely tired and emotionally spent but we will very soon feel the
physically warm and comforting light of Truth encompassing us and we will be healed
and we will be worthy of being part of the Geula Sheleimah which will bring us up to a
higher level spiritually then the first man and woman. We will be tattered and torn and
full of humility and this will be the greatest point that the human being has reached
spiritually up to that point of what we call history. The outcome of the history of the world is that Am Yisroel, which means every single
Neshoma that was present at Har Sinai and said Na’aseh Venishma, has finally passed
all their tests in a positive way and they are ready for the next stage of their spiritual
development which is too lofty to go into now. So, those Jews who are reading and
internalizing my simple words and are beginning to feel the absolute Truth in them, I
Bentch you that in the near future we will all be rid of the Nochosh, the Satan, the evil
inclination that has dragged us down into the muck since the first man was formed. I truly believe that this coming Pesach will bring with it a revelation, a Truth that no
one will be able to deny except the evil ones who never wanted the Truth. I Bentch us all, all Am Yisroel that this Pesach we will truly leave Mitzrayim but this time
we will leave Mitzrayim and enter the Holy of Holies.
Yesterday, there was a headline that proclaimed Israel as having the highest birthrate "in the West." Geographically-speaking, Israel is not part of the West, but through it's attachment to Eisav/Edom, it has become a Western outpost in the Middle East. This is the very thing the Arabs despise the most about us. More properly, Israel is the crossroads or the meeting point between East and West. Where better to be a lighthouse shining the truth to a world darkened by oppressive false religions on both sides? But, Israel's spiritual light is overshadowed by the Western sun of empirical materialism. Israel's western alignment at the End of Days was predicted by no less than the Maharal of Prague.
...So long as the kingdom of the Messiah has not yet reached perfection, the kingdom of the Messiah is attached to Edom (nigar el Edom) ...The holy kingdom of Israel... must grow out of the non-holy kingdom that preceded it.
Maharal, in a telling parable, describes the relationship between the embryonic "kingdom of Israel" and its "Edomite" environment: Fruit grows within a husk; when the fruit ripens the husks falls off... So it is with Israel. Their kingdom emerges and grows from within the kingdom of the nations i.e., from the existential power of the kingdom of the nations, and from their level, it raises itself to a higher level. And when the kingdom of Israel reaches complete maturity the kingdom of nations is removed, just as the husk is removed, and falls off when the fruit reaches its perfection.
The Messianic revolution will take place in the hearts and minds of the people. The "falling off of the husk" does not refer to a political or military event, nor does "kingdom of the nations" refer to a political entity. The husk refers to the value system of the Western world. The falling off of the husk signifies the victory of spirituality over materialism, faith in G-d over unbounded trust in one's own power, and awareness of divine providence over belief in blind chance.
Today, it feels like the "husk" is so firmly attached that it might never come off, r"l.
...The David's Sling commander also recounted how moved he was by joint briefings at the end of each day. "American tactical officers take to the stage, and say they're here to defend the State of Israel and its sovereignty as if they were fighting for their own country. They say they'll do anything to defend Israel. It's moving," he said.
Lt.-Col. Richard Clark, commander of the American force, said that US Army forces are prepared to leave Europe and arrive in Israel within two or three days from the moment they are called upon.
Think "Rome" and understand that they want to protect the Erev Rav regime which is the epitome of their "twin" and that the Kingdom of Messiah will properly be perceived as the greatest threat to them and their hegemony here. Even while Israel's ruling regime re-entrenches itself, the ties appear to grow tighter still.
Preoccupied by the political crisis that threatened to bring down the ruling coalition, politicians in Jerusalem on Tuesday overwhelmingly ignored the news of the United States getting a new secretary of state.
...Pompeo is a known hawk on Iran. His views on the 2015 Iran deal perfectly align with those of Trump — and Netanyahu. They all think the deal was a catastrophe and needs to be dramatically improved or thrown out altogether.
Pompeo indicated in late 2014, before the deal was signed, that he believed military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities would more effectively thwart Tehran’s quest for atomic bombs than diplomacy.
“Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terror, has become an even more emboldened and disruptive player in the Middle East,” he said at his Senate confirmation hearing in January 2017.
Unsurprisingly, friends of the Islamic Republic on Tuesday rang the alarm bell over the appointment.
Pompeo in Foggy Bottom would increase the chances of “a new war in the Middle East,” the National Iranian American Council warned, calling him “one of the most ideological opponents of diplomacy with Iran.”
This is no less than yad Hashem making a move on His heavenly chess board. East and West - the US and Iran - are destined for a final showdown. When it comes, the husk will weaken significantly, to the point of allowing the Messianic Kingdom to emerge and throw off its remains. I look forward to that day.
