This Relationship Was Defined From Day One

Do you see the scratched out word?  

Before approving Israel's request for recognition by the United States, Truman scratched out the word "Jewish" in the phrase "the new Jewish state" and penciled in "State of Israel."

No way were the Americans ever going to accept a "Jewish" state here in Eretz Yisrael.  And that's why it's clear as day that there is no "atzmaut" here.  

After 76 years, it's come down to this - it's them or us.

Just FYI, they treat others this way, too.  John Hudson on "X" today:

In explaining why Niger is kicking out U.S. troops, Niger's prime minister tells @Rachel_Chason that U.S. officials tried to dictate which countries Niger could partner with in a manner he viewed as disrespectful:

He said the Nigerien leaders took particular umbrage at remarks by Molly Phee, the State Department’s top official for African affairs, who he said had urged the government during a March visit to Niamey to refrain from engaging with Iran and Russia in ways objectionable to Washington if Niger wanted to continue its security relationship with the United States. He also said Phee had further threatened sanctions if Niger pursued a deal to sell uranium to Iran.

“When she finished, I said, ‘Madame, I am going to summarize in two points what you have said,’” recounted Zeine, who has led negotiations with the United States. “First, you have come here to threaten us in our country. That is unacceptable. And you have come here to tell us with whom we can have relationships, which is also unacceptable. And you have done it all with a condescending tone and a lack of respect.”

In response to Zeine’s comments, a U.S. official said: “The message ... was a coordinated U.S. government position, delivered in a professional manner, in response to valid concerns about developments in Niger. The CNSP was presented with a choice, not an ultimatum, about whether they wished to continue their partnership with us, respectful of our democratic values and national security interests.

PM Netanyahu could take lessons from these guys.

Dear Diaspora Jews,

Be thankful.  Because of what transpired on the 5th of Iyyar in 1948, you have a choice that your ancestors prior to that date could only dream about.  The doors to Eretz Yisrael are standing wide open for you.

There are two groups of Jews:  those who argue and say, "we don't have to make aliyah," and those who respond with gratitude, saying, "we get to make aliyah."  Which group describes you?  If you fit the first group, read the Prophet Yechezkel, chapter 20, and think it over.  If you fit the second group, what's keeping you?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Eretz Yisrael,

You've already made the physical ascent, now it's time to move on up another rung on the ladder of spiritual ascent.  The Prophet Hoshea said:

"For the children of Israel shall remain for many days, having neither king, nor prince, nor sacrifice, nor pillar, nor ephod nor teraphim.  Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God and David their king, and they shall come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness at the end of days." (3:4-5)

WE ARE THERE!!! 

"GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD,
HIS MERCIES ENDURE FOREVER."

What's Next For Brigadier General Ofer Winter?

"History has chosen us to be at the forefront of the fight against the terrorist enemy, which blasphemes and defies the God of the armies of Israel. I raise my eyes to the heavens and call out with you, 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.' May the God of Israel grant success to our paths as we march to battle for the sake of the people of Israel against the enemy who defiles Your name."  (Source: Yair Netanyahu claims Israelis want Ofer Winter as Defense Minister, despite controversial remarks; Direct Polls: Most Israelis Prefer Ofer Winter as Defense Minister Over Yoav Gallant)

If not the words of Yehoshua ben Nun, then for certain in the same spirit.  These are the words of Brigadier General Ofer Winter, for which he was heavily criticized and finally "released" from the IDF.  It is a known fact that no God-fearing Jew may rise to the highest ranks of the IDF.  

Contentious general once again left out of new IDF 

...Winter came under criticism during Protective Edge, when he served as commander of the Givati Brigade, for a letter to his subordinate officers in which he described the operation as a religious war against a “blasphemous” foe.

In media interviews, the officer also described his troops as being protected in battle by “clouds of glory,” raising concerns among religious freedom activists that Winter was theocratizing the military.

In that article, it details the other Brigadier Generals and their promotions, all of whom look to me like the same ones who are responsible for The Simchat Torah Massacre, as well as this ongoing fashla called a "war." 

Controversial IDF officer to be released

 after being passed over for promotion again

A controversial senior officer in the IDF, who has been without a role for nearly two years, is finally being let go from service after being passed over for promotion yet again. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen Herzi Halevi told Brig. Gen. Ofer Winter that he would be released from the army after not being promoted in the latest round of appointments, the Ynet news site reports.

The move has sparked backlash among some lawmakers, mostly from the right, and activists who had hoped that Winter would finally be given a promotion.

...Alongside Winter, another two brigadier generals were told by Halevi that no role was found for them and they were to end their service, Ynet reports.

I've no doubt whatsoever that appropriate places can be found for them in Mashiach's army.

In Praise of Brigadier General Ofer Winter

We wish him wonderful success in his future!

COUNTDOWN ENDS IN DAYS

6  Iyyar 5784
Day 21 of the Omer

The blogger and researcher Geulah Girl pointed out to me that just as the Nazi Nuremberg Laws addressed commandments that Israel were deficient in performing, the various legal moves being made against us by the international organizations today are, too.  We are being excoriated for doing things which we actually are not doing but which we should be doing.  

"Israel in Isolation" is actually very good news for us.  Especially, when we just read Parashat Kedoshim where we are commanded to be separate from the nations.  We are not doing it willingly, but HKB"H is forcing it upon us anyway.

The Forty-Day Countdown

From April 8, 2024 (Rosh Chodesh Nissan) when the solar eclipse took place, the United States received a Forty-Day Warning.  Their own self-proclaimed "prophets" confirm it. 

"Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overturned."  

May 18th is actually the fortieth day if the count begins on April 9th.  And that's the date that most people are looking towards and maybe it will be that day, but the prophecy indicates that 40 days will be completed before the decree is carried out.  That puts it over to May 19th, their Feast of Pentecost.  Any way you slice it, we're talking about five or six days until the US is finally taken down as a super-power with the ability to dictate our surrender to Hamas.  

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the US is going to fall, as surely as Egypt fell.  The timing is no coincidence either.  On April 25th during the week of Passover, a series of weather disasters began which is ongoing through today.  The following video proves that those people do not know how to interpret the events in front of them.

This presents another big problem for Jewish Americans.  The Christians view these events as signs from God, but they interpret their meanings through the prism of the New Testament.  They believe their country is in danger of Divine retribution and the only way to avoid it is through repentance, but...  Their idea of repentance is that everybody must accept Yeshu as their god and savior.  

Not only that, but this eclipse and the seven Ninevehs are a set-up for a teaching already being given all over the Christian world, that the Jews in chu"l are like Jonah who was the cause of the storm and the sinking boat and the only way to save them all was to throw him overboard.

This comes from the Altar of Prayer website under the heading "Aliyah".  Do you get that he is actually saying that the Jews in America are bringing (or going to bring) troubles upon the United States due to their refusal to obey God's command to leave the exile, just like Jonah did by running in the opposite direction of Nineveh?  He even draws a parallel between Jonah heading west and today's largest dispersed group of Jews residing in the west!  This can only go one place - to save the nations, the Jews will have to, metaphorically (we hope), be cast overboard - like Jonah!!  

Mashiach Will Be Revealed in the North

[See comments for 6 Iyyar update.]

Yehudit:  "North of Israel will burn up from missiles from the Iranian Hizbulla...."

10 Firefighter Teams Battled Huge Blaze Caused 

By Massive Rocket Barrage At Kiryat Shmona

The Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon on Friday launched a massive barrage of 35 rockets at Kiryat Shmona, kindling a huge fire.

Ten firefighting teams were required to quell the flames. B’Chasdei Hashem, despite the extensive damage, miraculously no one was injured in the barrage.

The IDF carried out airstrikes at the sources of fire.

Hezbollah later claimed responsibility for the attack.

Yehudit:  Moshiach ben Yosef will arrive to the North.

In the beginning, he will not know that he was chosen to be the first savior. He will operate thru his qualifications and thru his love for Am Israel that is embedded in him. He is very pious and has helpers with him. Thru his holy bravery and courage, people of the North as well as others will slowly awaken and want to attach themselves to him and join him. There will be those that will oppose him, including religious Jews that follow the Torah and its commandments.

He will rule from the Galil, his headquarters will be in Tzfat or Teveria. Some Talmidei Chachamim will begin to recognize him as the savior of Bnei Israel and will join him. Others will only join him much later.

Northern leaders announce intent to
"disengage" from Israel on Independence Day

As tensions simmer in northern Israel amidst prolonged conflict and displacement, residents are preparing for significant protests next week.

Frustrated by what they perceive as government neglect, local authorities are planning a bold move: declaring independence from Israel on Independence Day.

The decision stems from mounting dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the situation. Moshe Davidovitch, head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and chair of the Confrontation Line Forum, expressed the collective sentiment, stating, "The soul of the public in the north has been torn apart by the lack of action." He added, "From now on, we will stop listening to the government, we will run as an independent country and act independently without a state."

The catalyst for this declaration was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response during a recent cabinet meeting. When asked about the residents' return date, Netanyahu's dismissive remark, "What's the worst that will happen if they return a few months after September 1?" sparked outrage among locals and leaders alike.

In response, the Forum announced plans to establish the State of Galilee and sever ties with Israel. This decision was underscored by frustration over the government's failure to deliver on promises, including the allocation of funds for northern restoration.

"We won't say exactly what we'll do because we decided to create a surprise," Davidovitch said. "We don't know if we'll succeed in making this dysfunctional government wake up, but we'll certainly create a meaningful wave of impact."

Kedoshim Tihiyu - You Shall Be Holy

 2 Iyyar 5784
Erev Shabbat Kodesh
Parashat Kedoshim
Day 17 of the Omer

"You shall be holy to Me, for I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated 

you out from among the nations to be Mine." (Lev. 20:26) 

KADOSH definition - set apart for a special purpose.

(Reposted from 5778)

In the beginning, the Creator made order out of chaos (Bereishit, chapter 1). Those who would deny the Creator and set themselves in His place are bringing chaos from which to create a new world order. Their stated goal is "out of many - one," a global unity without God, r"l, their "one" to replace The One.

Excerpts from Havdalah (Separation) by Rabbi Meir Kahane

in Or Hara'ayon, chapter 25...

...G-d established two great and fundamental principles for Israel, namely, 1) separation and isolationism from the nations, and 2) clinging to G-d.  Israel must separate themselves from evil and from the nations to the precise degree that they are commanded to cling to G-d.

...G-d decreed upon holy Israel that they must be separated from impurity and from the impure nations.  The idolatry and foreign culture of the nations cannot coexist with G-d's Torah or with G-d Himself.  It, therefore, says, "You shall be holy to Me, for I, the Lord, am holy, and I have separated you out from among the nations to be Mine." (Lev. 20:26) Our sages comment, " 'I have separated you out from among the nations to be Mine': If you are separated from the nations, then you are Mine, otherwise, you belong to Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylonia and his associates." (Torat Kohanim, Kedoshim, 9)

Israel's being separated from the nations is so important because, if Israel, chosen to be G-d's holy, special people, are not set apart from them, but influenced by their culture, why then, were Israel created?  What special purpose is there for the existence of Israel and the world?  If they are like Nebuchadnezzar in behavior and thought, in their impurity, arrogance and profanations, why should G-d defend them and ensure their survival?....

G-d established that there must be no unity between Israel and the nations.  They must not mix or mingle together.  The walls separating them must never come down. Rather, there must be separation, borders, a division.  This separation, indeed, serves the purpose of unity, but genuine unity of a world under Divine sovereignty, for a united world of falsehood is not G-d's will....

The argument of the nations... is that we must achieve unity and break down the walls of separation.  Is this not fair and logical according to the false thinking of the worshippers of foreign culture?  Is not the unity of all nations and the disappearance of differences between Israel and the nations the goal of the Hellenists, who in any event have already put an end to every logical and intellectual difference between themselves and the nations?  Before us we have a recommendation for one world and one people, and why should Israel remain alone, a nation that dwells apart?

...The admiration of the whole world, a "light unto the nations"... here is their basic enticement, adopted also by the Hellenists and falsifiers of Israel.  They have distorted the concept of Israel being a "covenant of the people, a light unto the nations." (Isaiah 42:6)  In their hands, this has turned into a demand that we depart the Land of our isolation and cling to the nations in the exile, living there with them in order to serve as their beacon.

To achieve this, we are supposed to abandon unpleasant, "unacceptable" concepts and laws, lest these make the nations hate us, and all this in the name of unity.  That is, we are supposed to assimilate for the sake of unity....

Certainly, G-d's goal is world unity, but not based on falsehood and evil, and not through acceptance of the abominable concepts of coexistence and tolerance which pave the way for equating holiness and abomination, good and evil.  Unity is desirable but only after goodness reigns in the world and all accept G-d's sovereignty.  When G-d's truth and mastery reign on earth, there will be real unity.  It will come precisely through separation.

...The separation G-d decreed upon the universe as a supreme value serves to divide between good and evil.  Therefore, the Torah says, "G-d saw the light, that it was good, and he separated between the light and the darkness."  This implies that not only was the light good, but so was its separation from darkness, good from evil.

Blessed are You, our G-d, King of the Universe

Light and darkness, between
Israel and other nations, between
The Sabbath day and the six working days....
