INN AXES FISHMAN BLOG

In light of the complaint letter that INN received regarding Tzvi Fishman's paintball blog of June 1, 2009, entitled "Jerusalem Splat Team in Action," demanding that disciplinary measures be taken against Fishman, INN has removed the blog Fishman posted this morning. Update to follow.

Once a Moslem Always a Moslem

In the photo below, Hussein Obama, (then U.S. Senator) is dressed as a Somali Elder by Sheikh Mahmed Hassan during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya, near the borders with Somalia and Ethiopia. Hussein Obama’s Islamic sympathies go back to his schooling in a Jakarta “madrassa.”  Both his father and stepfather are Muslim, and Sarah Hussein Obama of Kenya, Obama’s step-grandmother, is a lifelong Muslim.

Once a Moslem Always a Moslem

Notwithstanding that Hussein Obama couldn’t care less, just to remind people of the facts, here’s a crash course on the Arab Israeli conflict that is circulating on the net:
 
1. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, Two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
 
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
 
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years..
 
4.. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years. 
  
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital.   Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when

the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem , they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
 
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures.  Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
 
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem . 
  
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem.  Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

"When I count to three, everyone fart!"

9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews.  Sixty-eight percent left (many in fear of retaliation by their own brethren, the Arabs,) without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. The ones who stayed were afforded the same peace, civility, and citizenship rights as everyone else.

10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms. 

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same. 
  
12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel , a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.

13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians.  There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost.  Israel defended itself each time and won.
 
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
 
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths. 
  
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel . 
  
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel .
 
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians. 

19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
 
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall. 
  
But what does Hussein Obama care? All he wants is the Arab world’s money, oil, and the praises of Allah. The only thing in his way are the Jews.

Tzvi Fishman is Not a Rabbi - Neither is Obama

I would like to clear up any confusion about my being a rabbi or not. I am not a rabbi. Whenever people are misled by my beard and call me “Rabbi,” I immediately correct them, by saying that I am not a rabbi.

Not everyone with a beard is a rabbi

True, I have been studying Torah for the last 30 years, but I am not a rabbi. I have written, and co-written, and ghostwritten a number of books on Jewish Studies, but I am not a rabbi. I have written scores and scores of articles and thousands of pages on Judaism, read by hundreds of thousands of Jews all over the world, but I am not a rabbi. I have learned with and counseled numerous initiates to Judaism, but I am not a rabbi. I have dedicated thousands of hours to Jewish Education, but I am not a rabbi.

I suppose I could study for and pass the test that would grant me the certified status of a rabbi, but I have never liked tests, not in high school nor college, so I have never made an effort in that direction. I don’t need the title of rabbi to make a living, so why should I become a rabbi?

Additionally, the holy Torah giant, the Ohr HaChaim, writes that, in the time to come, the rabbis will be brought to judgment for not encouraging the Jews to abandon the exile and go to rebuild the nation of Israel in Eretz Yisrael at the time of the awakening of the Redemption (Parshat “Behar,” end of Ch. 25).

Accordingly, I am afraid that perhaps I don’t do everything that I should do to encourage Jews to come on aliyah, so it’s better not being a rabbi, since they hold the brunt of the responsibility.

Also, regarding “Shmirat HaBrit,” the holy Zohar teaches that it is the rabbis who will be held to account for not warning the people about the necessity of guarding the sanctity of their sexual lives, as it states:

“The leaders of the nation who know this, and yet do not actively protest, are the first to be punished… The leaders of the people are deemed responsible in every generation for transgressions to the sexual covenant, if they know of such, yet are not zealous in stamping it out. For they are required to be zealous in G-d’s behalf against this transgression, for this is the Covenant” (Zohar, Shemot, 3B).

So, in case I haven’t done my part in teaching my fellow Jews about the importance of safeguarding the Brit, I’d rather not be a rabbi.

I hope this is clear.

May the Almighty grace all of our Torah leaders with courage and wisdom, and bless their efforts to inspire our People to lead holier lives – in Eretz Yisrael.   

and for those of you who like politics....

I WONDER WHO'S SIDE HUSSEIN OBAMA IS GOING TO TAKE?

Here's a photo of him bowing down to the King of Saudi Arabia. Later he claimed that it was just a spontaneous reaction, wanting to shine the King's shoes.

And here's a blog sent to me this morning by Yocheved Miriam Russo, http://bagelnosher.blogspot.com/, an accomplice in the trade:

Before Tzvi Fishman moved to Israel in 1984, he was a successful Hollywood screenwriter. He also wrote one of my favorite books, the delightful “Tuvia in the Promised Land” which takes up where “Fiddler on the Roof” left off.

Fishman now writes a blog on Israel National News called, “Hollywood to the Holy Land”.

Back on November 19, 2007, Reb Fishman asked an interesting question, “What will happen to Ehud Olmert?”

At that time, as you may or may not remember, Ehud Olmert was Prime Minister of Israel and was intent on punishing Jews who lived in Judea and Samaria, and was trying as hard as he could to give away parts of Israel to its most dedicated enemies.

In Fishman’s words, Olmert had “… ordered a stop to all settlement, and (was) scheming to divide Jerusalem and surrender all of the heartland of Biblical Israel to murderers, liars and thieves.”

“What will be with Ehud Olmert?” Fishman asked, and then set forth a concise chronicle of what had happened to former Israeli Prime Ministers who had tried to alienate Jews from their homeland.

 Menachem Begin, he noted, razed the Jewish settlement of Yamit and surrendered Sinai to the Egyptians. After that, Begin’s beloved wife passed away and he ended his days a broken man, in a deep and terrible depression.

 Yitzhak Rabin, Fishman noted, had given guns and chunks of the Holy Land to arch terrorist Yasser Arafat. Following that, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.

 Ariel Sharon -- who to this day lies in PVS (permanent vegetative state) – had his brain destroyed after the disastrous “disengagement” in which he gave Aza to the Hamas terrorists and destroyed settlements in Samaria.

So back in November, 2007, as then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert plotted to divide Jerusalem and turn over Judea and Samaria to our enemies, Fishman wondered: So what will happen to Ehud Olmert?

Well, now we know.

At this writing, Ehud Olmert is in a US hospital undergoing cancer surgery. Not only that, but his corrupt dealings during his political career have not been forgotten. Just the other day, his attorneys petitioned the court to have further hearings on just one of his nefarious schemes delayed while Olmert is hospitalized, but this time the court ruled no, the hearing could no longer be deferred.

Suffering from cancer and knowing that for the rest of his life, however long he lives, he will either be in prison for his misdeeds, or daily facing a cadre of lawyers as he struggles to stay out, Olmert has joined his predecessors. The chickens have come home to roost for Ehud Olmert, too.

Tsk, tsk.

So now I wonder: What will happen to the mighty Barack Obama, as he too tries to savage little Israel, and demands an end to settlements?

You’d think that by now, world leaders would be a little wary, wouldn’t you?

You’d think they could learn from history, even if they’ve never heard of Genesis 12:

“And those who bless you, I will bless; and those who curse you, I will curse—and blessing and goodness will come to all the families of the earth, through you."

Food for thought. Maybe we should sign her up at Arutz 7?
