Israel's Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Meets Glenn Beck

The clip below is from the meeting between Israel's Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger and Glenn Beck. 

They discussed the Restoring Courage event due to take place in Jerusalem on 24 August, 2011. 

There is a great deal of controversy about this event. On the one hand, Israelis are happy for any (and all) support that is offered. On the other hand, there is the question of "at what price?" 

All faiths are welcome in Israel, but sadly, Christians are not happy to just visit the sites holy to them, or see the country. They insist on missionizing. Their targets are the very young, the very old and the downtrodden. There is no excuse for stealing souls~no matter how justified one feels. It is this blind determination to convert Jews that creates mistrust.

I've been given a seat for this event, so hopefully I will be have some pictures and observations  to post after the fact. It should be interesting...

A Failure of Leadership...

There are really no words. I pray that the good people of America will find a new leader~one who is proud to be an American~who will pull the country back from the abyss...

Heads Up America~Traitor in Your Midst!

I can't believe this idiotic woman (my apologies to all idiots). She needs to be shipped to Iran. Maybe a few months in a burka, some FGM and a beating every day will make her realize how lucky she is to be an American citizen!!

Sderot Under Attack Rocks On...

This is really a story about a movie called Rock in the Red Zone. I did not start out writing about the movie--in fact I did not even know about it when I started this rather long post.

While going through my large bin of unfinished articles, I came across a clip about the Arab Spring that included a moron-ologue from a known hater of Israel. (See end of this post) He claims that Israel has Never--Ever been in danger (because he documented it in his three volumes~and of course we should believe him) As I was trying to think of a word with more than four letters to describe this guy, I recalled my last trip to Sderot, a beautiful town that has been under attack from Hamas rockets for the past ten years. Bomb shelters that are integrated into playgrounds, bus stops that double as bomb shelters, and in fact, the knowledge that the entire area has to take into consideration that they have 15 seconds to get into a bomb shelter.  To get an idea of what this means have a look at this:

My search led me to a site called Sderot Movie. In a place that has seen more than 10,000 rockets fired, one of the many bomb shelters has been converted to a music studio and is turning out bands with albums at an amazing rate. There is a recent article about the movie in Arutz 7 where you can listen to a radio interview with the producer. It is interesting to note that she is having great difficulty in getting the movie shown. The project was initially an outlet for the kids, but has turned into something amazing. This is the beauty of Israel, while our neighbors attack and fire rockets, we turn them into roses, or music or whatever else the imagination lends itself to.   

It is interesting to see that indeed the Muslim Brotherhood is stepping up to the mark as the dictators fall. At 2:13 in the video below, the known Israel hater, Alan Hart whines that he has already documented that the Israeli state of Israel has never been in danger--ever! He claims to be a writer yet is ignorant of the wars that have been waged against Israel since we became a country. The continuous calls from the Muslim world to destroy us, the suicide bombers, murder of children and on and on. I would like to house him in Sderot for awhile. See if he thinks that  the rockets and missiles are no danger (never-ever). From where I sit (in Israel) his biased statements are just another disguise for hatred. By the way, this is the man who thinks that it was Mossad that brought the twin towers down with a controlled ground explosion--and the planes were actually fitted with transponders to allow Mossad to guide them into the towers. And people actually listen to this moron!

Every country around us is calling for our destruction--the PA do not want "part" of Israel. They want it ALL while at the same time declaring that not a single Jew will live on "Palestinian" land. As for Hamas, they are more honest than most, yet people still ignore the threats to Israel.  Why?

Tel Aviv Housing Protest~The Radical Left in Disguise

For some time now there has been a "tent city" in the most prosperous area of Tel Aviv. For anyone who lives in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem for that matter, the issue of a lack of housing, and unusually high rents is a serious one, and I agree that is must be addressed. But is this all that is going on?

I strongly recommend you carefully read the excellent article on the blog of Sultan Knish, entitled A Leftist Farce Plays in Tel Aviv. 

To begin with, we must ignore those who have  demands that make me smile--like the student who says that he could not possibly live in Lod, outside central Tel Aviv, because he did not have a car to go clubbing on Friday nights. OK, being able to go night-clubbing may be a priority to some, but it is not the responsibility of the government to provide this, nor is it a reason to protest! And seriously, central Tel Aviv has some of the most expensive real estate anywhere! Not a place for low income or students! Most people in the low to middle income ranges will not be able to afford the costs. Location dictates price...

Much more serious is the fact that these protests are being hijacked by the far left in an attempt to sow discord and bring the government down. Yes, that is what I said, and anyone who takes the time to listen carefully will see what is happening. There is a good summary report at the online site of Arutz 7, that gives names and details, as well as other sites.

Picture by Miriam Woelke (Shearim)

There are many things these protesters do not  address, like the tens of thousands of illegals living in south Tel Aviv in flats near the bus station~This is an area that was originally designated for affordable housing to be built for students, yet these same people in the tent city demand that we keep the illegals~who for the most part are criminals and in many cases, Muslims (whose goal is to destroy us, remember). One cannot even walk  through that area anymore~it is a true No Go Zone. For pictures and information about the illegals situation in Tel Aviv, go to Shearim.

Meanwhile, the protesters oppose any action by law enforcement to remove Arab and Bedouin squatters from land they have illegally occupied in the Galilee and the Negev. The thousands of illegal Arab houses being built "everywhere" are not talked about--unless one is taken down--then the whole world blows up~even if it is built illegally on land where the ownership is clearly established under law. That is because in the eyes of the useful idiots, Jews should not be allowed any rights at all. Of course, they also oppose letting Jews live in Judea and Samaria. My question is~Just where do they expect  us to live? Where do they expect to live? Who do they plan on evicting from central Tel Aviv to make way for cheap housing?

These same people seem to be able to "live" in the center of town~Do they Not Work? This is where the financial backers come in. Ever wonder where the tents, food, communications centers and iphones come from? How is it that people claiming they can't afford rent  can take a cab from central Tel Aviv to the president's residence in Jerusalem? There is "hard left" money behind much of the protests. Their goal is to promote a political view. You can read more and see current pictures at Shearim Blog.

Make no mistake~housing is a serious problem in Israel. The rates are far to high for the measly wages one earns in this country. Like any big city, the central, popular areas always demand the highest rents. Calls to bring down the government, and replacing it with...what...a far left, communist cartel?~is not the answer.

Why Do We Continue to Funnel Billions of $$ to the UN??

Listen to this report--then ask the question~Why are we funneling billions of dollars to the UN? Surely it is time to close down this corrupt shop!

Canada Hears the Truth

Tarek Fatah is a Muslim. He speaks from experience. He speaks the truth. This is not only a wake up call for Canadians, but for all people in the free western world.

Just a Little Reminder...

To all the people out there who are calling for Israel to give up land to a "Palestinian" state here is a reminder of what the PA really wants. Anyone who still believes forcing Israel to give in to the PA will bring peace better start paying attention to what is being said to the Arab world. You may think you are acting to bring about peace, but  you are nothing more than "useful idiots".

This video and translation of Nabil Shaath's comments (see below video for transcript) are from MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) who monitor Arabic speaking TV and broadcasts round the clock. Time and time again MEMRI provides these truths~is anybody paying attention?

Transcript:

The French Initiative reshaped the issue of the "Jewish State", a formula that is also unacceptable to us--two states for two peoples. They can describe Israel as a state for two peoples, but we will be a state for one people.

The story of two states for two peoples means that there will be a Jewish people over there and a Palestinian people here. We will never accept this...

We will not sacrifice the 1.5 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship and we will never agree to a clause preventing the Palestinian refugees from returning to their country.

The Mysteries of The Free Masons

The search for information can lead to so many directions that it is easy to lose sight of your original quest. After the attack in Norway, the press was quick to blame Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists, Bloggers and yes, even the Jews.

It is hard to accept that a single person could create such death and devastation. Even harder to believe is that this madness was there, under the surface for a period of many, many, years.

In the ramblings of his manifesto are many claims. When I read that he fancied himself as a Templar Knight, I decided to post some information on the Origins of the Templars (who, along with the crusaders, committed the horrific pogroms and destruction of Jewish communities across Europe). Norway's mad man considered himself a "Templar Night", so he could hardly be  pro-Jewish.

Information on the Templars led to the Free Masons, and the belief that their origins arose from the desire of the Templars to have their society carry on.

It is interesting to note that the Catholic Church  was against the Free Masons. In 1738, Pope Clement XII issued the first of a series of "Papal Bulls" condemning the Free Masons. 

Secret rituals, symbolism, and myths surround the Free Masons as they do the Knights Templar. That they are related is believed in many areas and indeed there is evidence to support this view. Does anyone truly understand the origins and evolution of either group? I think that like all things, there is some truth, some myth and a lot of "we just don't know". 

The names of masonic members through the ages is more than impressive~from Benjamin Franklin to Mozart to George Washington and many famous presidents and powerful people world wide. 
 
The Free Masons, like the Templars are the things that legends are made of. It is said that the Free Masons were behind the origins of the United States, and indeed in 1793, the Free Masons, led by  none other than George Washington (who wore his full Masonic costume) led the rituals that laid the cornerstone for the United States Capital.

Conspiracy, Solomon's Temple, the Philosophers Stone and World Domination...What is the truth? I doubt anyone really knows, but the series below offers some interesting information. Part 2 deals primarily with the United States conspiracies~Enjoy...

London's Burning~Look Out!

So much has been written about the riots in Britain it is hard to bring an original viewpoint to this whole disaster, that apparently started because a thug pointed his gun at police~and they shot him. Umm, exactly what else do you think they could have done~perhaps, show a stiff upper lip and just let him shoot them~or run away maybe? As it is, the result is what we have been inundated with for the past days~Too horrible for words. 

Pat Condell, however, goes right to the crux of the matter. Wake up people, this is what a politically correct, welfare state breeds...

*And yes, I know~he is an atheist~he uses strong language~and he will most certainly rub your left side the wrong way...

Churchill Tells Ibn Saud to "Suck it Up"~Well, Kind of...

I found this interesting quote on Tundra Tabloids site. A quick check, revealed it is indeed credited to Winston Churchill, who was almost always shown with a cigar in his hand or between his teeth. 

It is said that during lunch with Arab leader Ibn Saud, when he heard the king's religion forbade smoking and alcohol, he replied...

I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them...

If only the leaders of today had the fortitude of Churchill, who, for all his flaws remains one of the great names of our times. 

Instead we see an array of mealy mouthed, self-serving, boot-lickers pandering to the despots of the world. They send billions of dollars and arms to third world rulers who immediately pocket the money and turn the weapons against their own people. The only hard line world politicians take are against their own citizens...and of course, Israel...it is always Israel. 

White House Cleanses Israel from Its Website~What Next?

This outrage is just one in a long list of insults that Obama has spat towards Israel. I don't care if he is the pResident, he is a shame and a disgrace to the human race. Read the full story at Bare Naked Islam and be sure to have a vomit bag handy. 

Not only has this man forbidden Americans born in Jerusalem, Israel to list Jerusalem, Israel as their place of birth, he has now signed a document (03 June 2011) stating that "he" has determined that it is necessary, in order to protect the national security interests of the United States, to extend the bill (which basically states) that Jerusalem is Not the Capitol of Israel. There  is currently and American Embassy in Jerusalem that  apparently caters only to Palestinian Arabs! This Embassy will not have anything to do with  Americans in Jerusalem. This was confirmed earlier this summer when a friend (a resident of Jerusalem) was traveling back to America, and could not even obtain a single bit of information from the Jerusalem Embassy. She was told that she must go to Tel Aviv...WHY??

Of the 792,000 people living in Jerusalem "Israel", many are Americans and many have given birth to their children in hospitals located in Jerusalem, "Israel". But they are not allowed to have this imprinted on their documents. Chutzpah!

 

Do read the whole story, and the bill signed by obummer. Also included is an explanation of the Jerusalem Embassy Act.

Matisyahu's Secret Show In Jerusalem

I came across this video by accident. The  comment says it was filmed the night before Yom Kippur in 2008 and that it was "in a bar" in Jerusalem~But they don't say which bar.

Does anyone know which bar this is?

Although I live in Jerusalem I'm not familiar with the bars~and yes, for those who are wondering, Jerusalem does have bars. Many of them, at least in the area where I live, have live music.

We are not Tel Aviv by any means, but Jerusalem does have night life...

UK~You Are Entering A Sharia Controlled Zone

In the London areas of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham, posters are being pasted on bus stops and street lamps.

They warn there is no gambling, no music or concerts, no porn or prostitution, no drugs or smoking and no alcohol in those areas.  Tower Hamlets has also had “gay-free zone” warnings pasted on its walls and women are threatened by Islamists if they were not wearing headscarves.

These are Sharia-controlled Zones where Islamic rules are enforced. These messages are going up in both Muslim and non-Muslim-majority areas and are expected to appear country-wide.

This is the work of Andy Choudary, leader of the banned radical Islamist group Islam4UK~and his gang of bearded thugs. They claim their goal is to bring about an Islamic Emirate, ruled of course by the laws of Sharia. Choudary heads the banned radical Islamist group Islam4UK and vocally advocates for a Sharia-ruled Great Britain.

Choudary, called the 9/11 terrorists “magnificent martyrs”, said the 2005 London subway bombings had been only “a matter of time”, and called for the execution of Pope Benedict, saying he had insulted Islam. When an interviewer on British TV suggested he should move to a country that already had Sharia law, Choudary blew up and said: “Who told you…that Great Britain belonged to you. The country belongs to Allah! If I were to move to the jungle, I would also not live there like the animals.” 

Choudary is doing publicly what the rest of the Muslims are trying to do via stealth and lies. While he holds dangerous, radical views, he is mostly viewed as a loud mouthed buffoon...Which brings me to the video below. As usual, Pat Condell gives us a unique view of Andy Choudary and his antics.

Kfir~Think Camouflaged!

The youngest Infantry Corps brigade in the Israel Defense Forces, the Kfir (Young Lions) are known as the camouflaged brigade. 

According to the IDF, a “Camouflaged” soldier is “a fiery combat soldier, who doesn’t give up, and who follows his commanders.” They are specialists in high profile counter-terror operations, arrests of terrorists, patrols, manning checkpoints and regular security activities. You can read the full story at Arutz 7.
