Would You Like Fries With Your Meal?

by Tamar Yonah

I'm frustrated.  I wish I had more talent.  But I must operate with what G-d has given me.  I was lying in bed the other night, and this idea came into my head for a political cartoon.  The next day, I tried to jot it down as best I could, but alas, I am no Leonardo da Vinci. 

Here was my quick sketch when I woke up the next morning...

Yah, I know, I should stick to my day job.

I used to be a concierge (once upon a time when I was younger) and you had to know pretty much everything about your area in order to best serve hotel guests. .  So, what I didn't know,,,  I had to compensate for, by at least knowing and contacting OTHER people who knew.  It worked.  After all, if I didn't know the answer to a hotel guest's query, I just dialed the number of someone I knew who did.  And that's what I did now.  There is a very talented guy who lives in the USA that I know of so I contacted him asking if he wanted to cooperate in making cartoons with me.... I would come up with the idea, he would use his G-d given talent to draw it up.  And I am smiling, because he is a terrific artist. David is a Gentile from Muskego, WI and says he "unconditionally loves Israel as a Jewish nation for Jews and only Jews. That means a Jewish identity and Jewish sovereignty." he says.

So, thank you David!  A picture is sometimes worth a thousand blogs.    ...grin...

It was a debate in my head whether Bush was drinking Israeli Blood Wine, or Saudi Oil Wine.  Either way, it ain't good for Israel.

Feel free to add your own captions or comments to this cartoon, some of you are very talented and funny.

Going Out of Business Sale!

by Tamar Yonah

The Americans love a good sale and a good bargain.  Who doesn’t?  Well, I have an offer that is hard to refuse.  We have our prime minister who is now in Annapolis, as well as Tzippi Livni, our foreign minister, and Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, now our minister of defense.  Our prime minister only has about a 3% approval rating from his citizens. Not even the left wing in the country can stand him.  He also has at least 4 police investigations against him. 

Our foreign minister, Tzippi Livni, talks about importing international troops to the region to secure our borders.  (Someone should inform her that we have our own IDF for that purpose.)  Ehud Barak is not stopping the rockets on Sderot from the terrorists, and he already shook hands with Arafat (may his name be erased) and was willing to divide Jerusalem and set up a Palestinian state, years ago when Clinton was meddling in our affairs.  They are running this country out of business.

So, with all this on the table, I propose that Israeli citizens from the Left and the Right, offer a trade….  We’ll give you the three Israeli politicians right now in Annapolis, for one Jonathan Pollard.  That’s a 3 for 1 blow out sale!  And just think, having two prime ministers and a foreign minister is worth a lot more to your administration then a ‘Jonathan Pollard’ who has been rotting in prison for 20 years.

Whaddayuh say, America?
3 for 1 !!!!!
Do we have a deal?

There’s a G-d, and You’re Going To Have To Face Him

by Tamar Yonah

"The film that is censored by the media."  I would like you all to watch this 10 minute film.  We must not forget our brothers and sisters who were dragged out of their homes and whose communities were bulldozed down.  Their communities were OUR communities.  They are our sisters and brothers. Now, on the precipice of Annapolis, with our present leadership going to bargain away our land, expel Jews from their homes, and divide our capital, I say: "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To view the film, click HERE. You can also download the video to see the movie in a larger size. Just look for the tab under the small window in RED, and click 'download'.

To all those who worked to expel Jews from their homes, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who gave away Jewish cities and Jewish property to the terrorists, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who gave the terrorists guns and bullets, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who trained the terrorists in sniping, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who don’t put an immediate stop to the Kassam attacks on our southern cities and towns, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who use our tax money to re-enforce roof tops from kassam rockets instead of going in and ridding us of the terrorists, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who twist words calling murdered people ‘sacrifices for peace’, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who didn’t keep their promise to the Expellees, and have left them without homes, work, or a life, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who let Jonathan Pollard rot in an American prison, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who free convicted terrorists to prop up the popularity of other terrorist leaders, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who forsake our kidnapped soldiers and leave them in the clucthes of our enemies, "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him".

To all those who shake hands, hug, kiss or embrace our enemies and call them ‘partners for peace’ – shame on you. "There’s a G-d, and you’re going to have to face Him". 

In the 10 minute film I mentioned above, this song, by Ariel Zilber, is played.  I am giving you the translation in English, but if you can follow the Hebrew, it is so much nicer.


There’s judgment and there’s a Judge

There’s judgment and there’s a Judge. 
There will be a reckoning.
For those who expelled the Jews from Gaza and Shomron.
They put themselves out
For us, to give security
Now they are going about
Hurt, without a home.

There is judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
They will be held responsible.
A judge, a general, even a  plain soldier
You will pay for the obsequiousness, foolishness, and arrogance.

There is a judge, justice will be done
There’s no mistake about it.

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
My brothers don’t lose hope.
All the youth of the Gush gathered in Amona
They didn’t think of running from the trooper on the horse
Then I realized that the youth are determined.

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
Ask anyone on the street, where is the father and where is his son,
Think about it.
Our sages have stated, and it is written in our holy books
There is mercy only for one who regrets his sin and doesn’t repeat it.

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
Listen soldiers and policemen, and anyone who wishes to give land to the enemy
The land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael) is not mine and not yours
It belongs to the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and He rejoices in the Land.

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
There is one that warned us all.
The same prophet who has lit up our lives for years and years.
He stated that he will personally fight, collect the fee (price),
From anyone who talks to the enemy about giving up one grain of sand.

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
There are plenty of examples.
Arik, Omri, Tzachi, Basie, Katzav and Chalutz
There are more people on the list, they still have a choice
If they stop mocking Eretz Yisrael.

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
Two years have passed since then, the son indicted, the father worthless
There is One who doesn’t forget,
and He does not forgive those that destroyed the blooming region

There is Judgment and there is a Judge. (Yesh Din, v’Yesh Dayan)
