We are the Champions - UPDATE

We the bloggers of Arutz 7, Shimshon, and all of the Jews in Israel, are the champions, the undisputed winners, the real heavyweights.

SHIMSHON WINS THE GOLD MEDAL! 

The deadline has elapsed, and all of the lovers of exile have refused to accept the challenge to come to Jerusalem and debate us. Their unanimous unwillingness to debate the issue of aliyah before a panel of impartial judges is a clear and absolute confession that we are right in maintaining that a Jew belongs in the Land of Israel and not in Virginia, England, or Hong Kong. All of their hysterical screaming has proven to be “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,” or, in the words of the “Kuzari,” the chattering of parrots which make a lot of noise but don’t know what they are saying. While we are proud of our overwhelming victory, it saddens us that so many of our brothers in the exile are blind to the truth that it is the Almighty Himself who has orchestrated the return of the Jewish People to Israel, opening the doors and inviting the captives home to Zion. Like true champions, we extend our hands out to the losers, encouraging them to cast away their excuses and fears, and join us in the ongoing building of our nation and our Land. The gate of repentance is always open, so let them begin by repeated over and over, a thousand times if need be, “Fishman is right, Fishman is right,” just as Korach and his followers are doomed to call out from the bowels of the earth, “Moshe is true and his Torah is true.”
