What the Goyim Think About The Jewsby Tamar Yonah
Now, before anyone gets their feathers ruffled, the term 'Goyim' just means 'Nations'. It is not meant as a derogatory term here. Saying this, below is an email I received from a good and righteous non-Jew named Dean. His little experience he has had with Ameican Jews has given him an impression, that he wants to check out to see if it is true. My friends, here is what the 'righteous' of the Nations, the 'righteous Goyim', are saying about the Jews.... Dear Tamar: I am a christian who lives in the United States. I write to you quite often. I am not what you call Roman. I am a Christian Zionist with great love for Israel and all that it represents. I recently attended a Gert Wilders speech in Massachussetts. It was held in a Jewish synagogue. I rarely rub shoulders with U.S. Jews, but I enjoy it when I do. I got there early and began chatting with as many as I could. I told them how I spend an hour or so each day on the internet surfing in the Jerusalem Post. I was trying to compare spiritual notes with them. Many of them said they did not own a computer, but all those who did asked me what the Jerusalem Post was. I thought they were trying to be sarcastic to me because I was not wearing a Yarmulkah (is that how you spell it?) But, the more I tried to be spiritually friendly the more I found they were not interested in Israel or what was going on there. I left the meeting hall, which was quite large (400 people.) in a well to do area of Massachussetts, three miles from Boston. Feeling quite overwhelemed with perplexity, my inner feelings were thus. How in the world, with all the things that are going on, could religious synagogue goers, be ignorant of their own little besieged home? I dwelt on this all night, very disturbed. I believe God told me why the next day.  Oh, do you see that couple over there, that is so and so and man are they loaded.
 Much of the time in their synagogue, I heard them make references to each other, when someone entered the building, "Oh, do you see that couple over there, that is so and so and man are they loaded." Oh, "See those people over there, that is such and such." These people were very pleasant to me and knew that I was not part of their group. I asked them if they ever heard of Geert Wilders and to my astonishment none of them had. I probably asked five or six people. I thought I was at a dog and pony show. I was quite taken aback. I thought that most of Jewry in the U.S. were up to speed on spriritual matters like you people at Arutz Sheva. Tovia and Yishai and Tamar etc. Well, I was set back aways on my spiritual haunches. I thought about this the next day and I believe God revealed to me the matter. 
This is what I feel the sum of the matter is. Many U.S. Jews hate Israel. That may be too strong. U.S. Jews ignore Israel and this is why. Israel is an extreme threat to them. If they thought about Israel too long, they might feel they have to help Israel. Sure, they send them a few bucks now and then, but that is to relieve their conscienceses. That way when they stand before God, they will be able to say they supported Israel. Also, I am now going to reveal why, they mostly all voted for OBAMA. This will blow you away. This makes tears run down my cheeks. I may be wrong about all of this, please tell me if I am. I live in Maine. Not many Jewish people up here. I know of none personally. All I know is what I hear on Jerusalem Post and read in the Bible. But, I am connected to Israel and the future. I am connected to the God of Israel. Okay, these are the ten reasons why U.S. Jews voted for OBAMA and why they do not like the word Israel. Many, many U.S. Jews are well off with big bucks and big estates and big connections and extremly little persecution here in the U.S. For them to admit Israel exists, would cause them to feel they have to help Israel. This might mean possibly having to take a stand in their daily speech, with others over here, thereby labeling them as ONE OF THOSE and causing persecution to come down on their heads. Most Jews are tucked away in little enclaves or FORTS they have created for safety over here and to leave the safety of the fort would again open them up for what maybe their forfathers went through. (OH MY G-D NOT THAT) You know, I almost really can't blame them. America is like a little Israel to them, when they get tucked away in their little communities over here. Okay, here comes the punch line. They feel if they spend ten minutes thinking about Israel, they may feel attracted to go on Aliya over there. Wow, the thought of all those gun battles they hear every night on the news, reminds them of the Nazis so much, what they do is place Israel so far out of their minds, the very thought of it causes them great pain. Am I anywhere near the mark??? They almost hate Israel. They almost despise Israel. The very thought of Israel causes them discomfort. Why do 35,000 Jews in Iran refuse to go to Israel? They live right next door. They know they would be too easy a target in Israel. How am I doing? This is why they voted for OBAMA. They feel he will stop helping Israel and maybe just maybe Israel will disappear and leave their thoughts. So... please answer Dean. He wants to understand, is he right, or is he wrong?

Hold On To Your Guns!by Tamar Yonah
"Disarmed people are neither free nor safe - they become the criminals' prey and the tyrants' playthings. When the civilians are defenseless and their government goes bad, however, thousands and millions of innocents die." - From the JPFO Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership website. After the government nationalizes and takes over the banks, as well as your homes (through your mortgages) and your mouth and ears – through The Fairness Doctrine, get ready for them to start coming to take away your guns. The second amendment, which protects an individual's right to possess firearms for private use, is one of the great and important amendments in the U.S. constitution. It is the second amendment that will help to make sure that no thug, criminal, or organization can come in and take you over by force, ---including your own government. The second amendment helps protect that terrible possibility of what so many other nations have done around the world… disarm their citizens, and then – one day- systematically take them over and kill their own citizens whom they selected for genocide. The 2nd amendment states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Below is a partial chart from the JPFO of governments who disarmed their own citizens, and then a little while later, ended up slaughtering them. For the full chart, click HERE. 
"Disarmed people are neither free nor safe - they become the criminals' prey and the tyrants' playthings. When the civilians are defenseless and their government goes bad, however, thousands and millions of innocents die." -from the JPFO. Do NOT fall for any politically correct gobbledygook nonsense when they want to market the virtues of illegalizing gun ownership. America is one of the last places in the world where citizens still have the right to own and bear arms (and thank G-d, most homes in Israel have guns or army issued rifles since people here have children serving in the army.) When Obama, or his regurgitated Clinton administration start to make moves in the direction of gun control, a red flag should go up in your heads. Watch this woman in the video below tell her legislators off. This is a don't miss video! (Thanks to DS for sending me these videos) By the way, the JPFO reports: "In the 20th Century: Governments murdered four times as many civilians as were killed in all the international and domestic wars combined. Governments murdered millions more people than were killed by common criminals. How could governments kill so many people? The governments had the power - and the people, the victims, were unable to resist. The victims were unarmed." Let's remember the heroes here in Israel, who, because they were armed, were able to react and neutralize the terrorists before the police could even arrive at the scene, saving lives of people who may have lost them. So as Netanyahu works to form a government here, and Obama works to 'change' yours there, let's look ahead and have some foresight when they start bringing up the issue of gun control. Times are going to get very bad, the economic crisis is going to collapse countries, and people are going to get very mad, desperate, and violent. Stand firm to protect the U.S. Constituion. The Constitution is only as strong as the people willing to fight for it and defend it. If you are Jewish, get passports for your family and fill out forms at: www.NbN.org.il . I am not saying this to scare you, rather, to take action. Best to be prepared, and nothing happens, than to do nothing, and be unprepared. Hold onto your guns!

Purim in Prisonby Tamar Yonah
I thought I would post this email that I received from a listener, 'Daniel Davidson'. I changed all the names and ID numbers to protect his privacy and to prevent any trouble for him. To Tamar:
With Purim approaching I wanted to share a short Purim story with you. This was either my second or third Purim in a Federal Prison a painfully miserable place. Purim in Prison was difficult to celebrate, usually the Jewish Inmates where allowed to gather once to read the megillah (scroll of Esther), and hamentashen (customary Purim danish) was unheard of. In the Federal Prison I was in, at this point, all other religions received pretty much whatever they needed for their holidays, the Jews however was a different story. Just before the Festival of Purim I received word from one of the officers that I was to report to the FDC (Federal Detention Center) Lt. Lynch (name has been changed) wanted to see me immediately. Now to know Lt. Lynch is to hate him, he is from the deep south, he never made it as a policeman as he had wanted so he resigned himself to be a prison guard. When Lynch wanted to see you, you knew it was going to be bad and the meanest of Inmates were not so brave when they had to see Lynch.
I arrived at the FDC, went through the multiple gates and steel doors till I came to Lt. Lynch’s office. I held my breath and knocked on his door. Lynch yelled from inside to enter and I did. As I entered the office I saw Lynch and two other Guards sitting behind a table with a small package sitting on the table in front of him, the package had been opened. “What the hell do you think you are doing Davidson?” screamed Lynch. I took another breath and responded “I don’t know what you me Lt.” Then Lynch began a long rant of curses directed toward me while the other two laughed. “What the hell is this?” Lynch demanded to know as he showed me the contents of the package. To my surprise the package contained 8 beautiful hamentashen sent by the Aleph Institute, a Chabad Organization who help Jewish Prisoners in prison, in fact the only Jewish Organization. “Those are hamentashen sir, we need them for the Jewish holiday of Purim that begins tonight.” I answered. “Jew food huh Davidson.” Said Lynch. “Yeah, I guess you could say that Lt.” I answered cautiously. “Do you think I am going to let you have this Jew food Davidson?" asked Lynch. Not knowing what to say exactly or what I had walked into I didn’t answer right away. I felt like a mouse who had just been cornered by three dangerous snakes. “Answer me G-d D--- you inmate.” Screamed Lynch. I jumped backwards in reaction and finally said. “Sir, that was sent by an approved organization that helps Jewish Inmates in Prison and we are entitled to have then for our holiday.” “You F------ Jews think you have something coming do you? I will show you what you have coming XZ890-421 (that is my number they used to keep track of you and to de-humanize a person), you have NOTHING.” Then Lynch passed the hamentashen around to each of the other guards who where being very entertained by Lynch and myself standing there. They opened all the beautiful hamentashen and began eating them. I asked angrily. “Permission to leave Lt.?” “No boy you stand there till I tell you to leave.” Lynch answered with a mouthful of hamentashen and laughing. I stood there for what seemed forever burning with hatred for these pathetic pigs and watched them finish the last hamentashen. My expression was of pure hatred I am sure but inside I was screaming out to Ha Shem asking Him when would this end, how could this have happened? To be innocent of the charges that put me there was irrelevant at this point. I only asked HaShem on a few occasions Why did You put me here? What good could possibly come of this? This was one of those times I asked. I still remember in full detail how I felt. The hopelessness of being a slave of people like this, the fact there was no one to help, no one would come to rescue me (and the other Jews in prison).
For whatever reason HaShem had decreed that I should be here. My face burned with a combination of hatred and pain, I chocked back the tears as I watched these three anti-Semitic pigs finish off the last of the hammentashin and wipe the crumbs from their ugly faces. I stood there for a few more minutes while they laughed and taunted the Jew before Lynch told me to leave and warned me that they would be watching all of the Jews. I returned to the Prison Population to meet with the other Jewish Men that night for the reading of the Megillah to share with them what had happened. As William Kay, a Jewish Inmate from Hawaii, read the megillah we watched Lt. Lynch stand at the door watching us. In that place those little hamentashen were more important than what they would be on the outside. The were just another part of Jewishness that we were continually denied as we lived among those who made it clear they where our enemy’s. B’’H this year we will make our own hamentashen at home and celebrate Purim in our Shul and Jewish community with hopes that ‘Next Year in Jerusalem’ we will be home. I since learned that the goyims place was to teach us who and what we are as Jews and our place in the world. The lack of Jewish Identity we learned from a secular family, Ha Shem gave to us in Prison. For this I will always be grateful to HaShem for the lessons over those 9 years in hell for there I learned how important I am as a Jew, how important the Jewish Community is and how precious our State of Israel, the freedom we have is a gift from G-d and we need to cherish every moment we are free. Israel with all her faults is the greatest place in the world.
