      Friends, Murderers, & How You Look At It

      by Tamar Yonah

      Uncle Sam.  He loves me? He loves me not?
      Is America a friend or foe?  ...Or both?
      It's a subject few like to mention or talk about.  But today, people can't ignore the cold shoulder the White House has given Israel. And that's good, because sweeping the issue under the rug won't improve things.  The sooner Israel understands that nations don't have friends, they only have 'interests', the better off we will be, especially when the madman in Iran is rubbing his sticks together to become a nuclear power and bring on WWIII. 

      I know the USA has many good and moral people who support Israel, and G-d bless them.  But looking at the American - Israel relationship today, and how the past 2 administrations have acted (I won't go further back in history here -not enough blog space) , I think we can say we have been 'dumped' for a modern day Nazi regime. These radical Islamic Jihadist regimes like Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc... act akin to the Nazis.  How can I make such a comparison?

      1) Both the Nazis and the Islamic regimes hate the Jews and want them dead.
      2) Both regimes are elitists, thinking they are the master race/religion and want to conquer the world.
      3)  Both regimes treat whom they feel is inferior, as slaves and kill them at will.  For the Nazis, it was Jews, gypsies, etc...  For the Islamic Jihadist fanatics, it is the Jews, Christians, and even their own women.  These Radical Islamics subjugate all females.  In fact, one of the first things that a radical Islamic regime does when it takes power, is force its women to retreat under sheets and veils, and keeps them in social chains with their Islamic gestapo roaming the streets, checking that no woman is deemed immodest according to their radical standards.  

      By the way, ever notice how many of these Islamic regime's armies walk the goose-step?
       
      (Above photo: Iranian Troops on Army Day in White)
      (Below photo:  Flag with the Nazi emblem and Palestina embeded in it.)



      So then why have the last two U.S. presidents, Obama and Bush, romanced these Nazis?  Bush kisses and walks hand in hand with Nazi Saudi princes, and Obama bows to them.



      Funny, I don't ever remember any president holding hands or bowing to any of Israel's prime ministers out of deep friendship or respect. 
      So how can Israel continue to believe that the White House is a friend, when they openly court and fawn over Nazis, the very enemies who want to destroy us?

      And now, news stories are being reported, that Obama may force a peace on Israel.  However, the only thing he is enforcing is (not peace) but 'a-peace-ment' (appeasement). Trying to make Israel kneel to the will of the International community and it's Islamic-Nazi lovers. 

      This video below, is disturbing to watch.  It's disturbing, not only because of its content, but because of the conflicting feelings many of us have regarding America, in that it IS a good country in so many ways, and so many Americans are good, good, people, yet the foreign policy of the U.S. Government is and has been, anti-Israel in so many circumstances.  And it is difficult for many to face up to the reality of this relationship.  

      This video below is not made professionally, but the testimonies shown here are powerful and hard to listen to.  Did they do good ...or bad?  Are they good ...or bad?  Are they BOTH good AND bad?   Whatever your conclusions, Israel would be wise to review the Torah portion of Balak, in Bamidbar (Numbers) 23:9 "it (Israel) is a nation (people) that dwells alone". 
       
      And to our true American friends who cringe at what Obama is doing in bowing to these modern day Nazis, these barbaric enemies of Israel (and the West), they would be wise to review Genesis 12:3  "And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse".

      Where Does a Jew Belong?

      by Tamar Yonah

      Where does a Jew Belong?

      It shouldn't be such a tough question.  Just simply answer it in your head, and think.

      France?  No. 

      England?  No. 

      Russia?  No. 

      China? No.

      Anywhere in the Diaspora?  No. 

      Israel?  YES! 


      We just celebrated 62 years of Independence yesterday.  While no country is perfect, and news headlines usually focus on bad news as opposed to good news, I thought it would be good to pull back the lens a bit and get some perspective of just where we should be focusing: on the miracles of the re-gathering of the Jewish people from the 4 corners of the earth, back home, in preparation for the redemption. 

       

      - By the way, the Prime Minister's 15 year old son, Avner, won third place in the Bible Contest yesterday. Pretty good!  (It was won by girl by the way  -heh heh-  her name is Or Ashoel, from Kfar Saba).   I also heard a rumor that PM Netanyahu is in turn reading the Torah, maybe studying with his son turned him on?  Anyway, that's good news.

       

      But back to the miracles of Israel.... I acknowledge that there are some in the Diaspora that cannot come because they have legitimate reasons; they are divorced and don't want to abandon their children, or they have elderly parents, etc... but those who cannot join their nation here, should at least have a yearning to come, and I know that many do!

      But for the others, they are facing a serious consequence. And keep in mind, even the 'G-dless' secular Jews in the 19th century picked up their roots and came to the Land of Israel, a land ruled by the Muslim Turks (Ottoman Empire), a land that was infested with malaria and poverty. But they rolled up their sleeves and went to work to change things.

      Please view these two videos below before continuing to read further.

       

       

      Lest someone think they are too good to come here, too good to roll up their sleeves, too good to work and mold this country, and too good to 'lower' themselves in their standard of living, or too good to not have their dream job waiting for them, or not having their political demands met,  let me state something here... History will not wait for you. 

      You will miss the train, deaf to the sounds of its chuga-chug-chug, from the sound of your voice complaining, or from the sound of your key board pounding out a zillion excuses why Israel is not 'ripe enough' for you. 

      A Jew belongs in his home here in Israel. Period. And History won't wait for you.  The gates of aliyah can close at any time.  Even a volcano knows that.

      Happy '62' to those who are here and are grateful to G-d for the privilege of living in this land.  We left the Diaspora, because we know where Jews belong.

      Top 3 Reasons Not To Make Aliyah in the 1930's

      by Tamar Yonah

      "The Top 3 Reasons Not To Make Aliyah in the 1930's" ...as urged and egged on by the aliyah nay-sayers....


      1)  "You lemmings!  The British are ruling there, and until there's an authentic Torah Jewish government, you would be committing suicide to go."



      2)  "The country is full of secular Israelis who hate the religious and don't want to be real Jews. They're G-dless communists. Unless you are going to go there to start a civil war and kill off those Tel Avivians, you are an idiot to leave Europe where we are emancipated!"



      3)  "The British government clearly takes the side of the Arabs over the Jews.  The real Jews are beaten and their daughters are raped.  The G-dless ones will try to draft your children into their Hagana and they will all then be commanded to throw Jews out of their homes in 'Jerusalem'.  Unless they establish a Medinat Yehuda, it's suicide to go there.


       
      And so, those who may have been foolish enough to listen to those ridiculous reasons didn't come. 

      And our brothers and sisters in Europe were eventually forced to leave their homes.  And they had to wear yellow star badges.  And their children were thrown out of school.  And they lost their jobs.  And they were starved, and abused and enslaved and finally murdered.  And their great synagogues and great yeshivas were no more. And all was lost.  All was lost.  All was lost.  And 6 million, SIX MILLION went to their deaths.

      Detoxification

      by Tamar Yonah

      Is Matzah still stuck in your kishkas?  Detoxify - the natural way - without drugs or special costly 'natural' herbal formulas.  It just means eating right.  G-d wants us to be healthy, and we learn that our body is like a temple and should be treated with respect and dignity.
       
      If you are like me, in your 40's older, you REALLY need to start taking care of yourself.  I have learned that we all harbor cancer cells in our body.  But whether we develop full fledged cancer in the future depends on if we feed these cancer cells or not. A healthy body and immune system will be able to keep these cells in check and prevent them from developing into tumours.  By keeping our organs and the rest of our bodies healthy and clean, we can keep those bad cancer cells in check, and hopefully be blessed with a long and happy life.
       
       
      I am sorry to say that I am not a perfect example of the ideal healthy body.  I have my challenges when it comes to food, but I have at least eliminated white sugar and white flour and a lot of other garbage that I could put into my body, and I am always eating lots and lots of vegetables.  But, it's not enough.
       
      It's after Pesach now and after several days of big, rich, matzah filled meals.  Our digestive tracts probably need a good cleaning and a good rest from all those protein rich foods.  Ever notice that it seems that heart attacks increase after Passover, maybe from all the rich foods and huge intake of eggs that we eat during that time?  It is for this reason that I am going to be doing a special show with Dr. Bob DeMaria, Natural Health Doctor and Chiropractor and author of several health books.  He will be my guest this Monday night, 12 midnight eastern time, -- or for our Israeli listeners, with the 7 hour time difference, it will be Tuesday morning at 7am.  He will be discussing 'Detoxification' of the body. 
       
      Dr. Bob is the author of Dr. Bob's Drugless Guide to Detoxification.  You will discover that it is not what you take but what you EAT, drink and breathe that create stress to your major detoxifying organs.  Dr. Bob will tell you about the ABC's of Detoxification. You will learn why you are having more brown spots show up, spider veins, morning headaches, gassiness, bloating, etc...    go here and check out Dr. Bob's website & BLOG comments on Detoxification.

      I’ll Eat. You Defy Your Torah.

      by Tamar Yonah

      Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? It ain’t Netanyahu. 

      Last week when Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama in the White House to try to iron out their differences on the peace talks, he was ‘passed over’ for dinner.  Relations have been strained between the USA and Israel since Obama moved into the White House, and despite the so-called global warming, this icy tension is not thawing.

      Taking a step back from examining the details of the peace process negotiations through a political eye, if one looks at it from a Biblical aspect, one can break it down like this: 

      Obama wants his cake and to eat it too – without Netanyahu as his guest.  Obama’s narcissist type behavior towards America’s best friend in the Middle East mixed with ego, contempt and a cup of anti-Semitism  has pushed Netanyahu into a foxhole where people don’t come out atheistic anymore.  Netanyahu and the Israeli people are now convinced more than ever that Israel does not have a friend in the White House, rather a New Pharaoh has arisen who does not know Joseph.  And this new Pharaoh in the White House is conspiring with his minions ‘Come, let us deal wisely with them’.  We shall proclaim this is all for 'peace' and the betterment of the world, but in actuality, it will be the end of an independent and sovereign Jewish nation which has been a bone in the throat of the world since its inception.  “Come, let us deal wisely with them.  We will divide up the country of Israel, amputating her heart and lungs and limbs until she will be too weak to exist independently.  She will need us completely for life support.”

       

      Our Jewish Prophets foretold that the nations of the world would use the word 'peace' but that it would not be peace.

      “And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.”  Jeremiah 8:11

      Because, even because they have led My people astray, saying: Peace, and there is no peace; and when it buildeth up a slight wall, behold, they daub it with whited plaster;  Ezekiel 13:10

       

      Essentially,  what we are seeing is Obama telling Netanyahu, 'I am hungry and my stomach is growling and I am going to fill my tummy now.  And you,,,  well,  when you have decided that you are going to turn your back on your G-d and go against your Torah to appease me and the rest of the international community, then we can talk. Then we can commence with the amputation which will result in the end of Israel as a sovereign nation, and the end of you as G-d’s chosen People because you will have chosen me, our defense contracts and the world’s fake favor,  over your G-d and your Torah.  Call me when you have something meaty to give me.'
