AddReply(404010,"Do we trust America, or do we trust haShem?","CDG","Yerushalayim","02/22/09","As a former American Jew, I thought I\'d be directing these sorts of thoughts at countries other than the USA. But, America is turning out to be no better than any other land who first allowed Jews to live freely there and in the end persecuted and drove us out, or attempted genocide on us.\n\nIf we Jews in Israel cannot bring ourselves to break away from our fear of America, no matter how powerful she is, then we will hesitate to do what must be done, and it won\'t get done. This is why we must strengthen ourselves in our emunah (complete faith in haShem); only then can we act appropriately against this disgusting situation and our whole *matzav*. Nothing, not even Medinat Yehuda, will work without internal emunah and external unity.\n\nTogether we will seek haShem and together we will act correctly.");
AddReply(404009,"Kiryat Sefer employs 700 Arabs!!","Shaul","","02/22/09","A little ago there was a terrorist attack in the Haredi city Kiryat Sefer in the Modi\'in region, by one of the 700 Arabs employed in the city with an entry permit. For a short while afterwards the city was closed to Arab workers. But as a Haredi weekly reported, the army pressed the city to reopen the doors to the Arabs, who depend on employment by Jews for their livelihood, with the excuse that if they don\'t feed the Arabs, the situation will \"explode\"...\n\nSo you have it. Orthodox Jews are transgressing explicit provisions of Jewish law forbidding us from letting non-Jews reside in Eretz Yisrael, and which oblige us to give Parnasa (livelihood) to Jews first - all this out of fear for what the Arabs will do...");
AddReply(403961,"I\'m not convinced","RobertK","Jerusalem","02/22/09","that this is the real reason Israel doesn\'t adopt such a policy. It\'s more like fear of world reaction. They\'ll say Israel is starving a million people to free one soldier. The UN would condemn us and threaten sanctions, and relations with the Obama admin. would be dangerously frayed. Also, it wouldn\'t work--Hamas would be thrilled with the propaganda bonanza, and would say it doesn\'t know where Shalit is, or that he might be dead. I wish it was all as easy as blaming it on Shochat, Bronfman, and their government connections. This is not to say Israel should commit the crime of releasing 1000 terrorists, either. It should retake parts of Gaza and start upping the pressure on Hamas. It should make a maximum intelligence/commando effort to free him on the ground. ");

It would bring enormous pressure from the United States. It would help those who want the U.S. to abandon us.\nThere is no easy answer.\n");

AddReply(403609,"Yes! The Time Has Come!!!!!!!","Gary","Monterey, CA","02/20/09","The time has come for conservatives to make their voices heard.  No more greed by the leaders.  This is one of the sins committed by the Jewish forefathers prior to the Babylonian invasion.  Greed leads to pride and rebellion.  Greed leads to G-d\'s protective hand being removed.  Greed and pride are from Satan.\nIt is time for conservative Jews to claim back the Promised Land and present it holy unto the L-rd.  Will the ears in heaven hear from you?  Will the angels in heaven rejoice by your triumphant unity of praise to G-d?\nUnity means victory!  Unity means solidarity of faith!  It\'s time to act in faith and faithfullness!");
AddReply(403479,"Ghetto Mentality","marcel","Florida","02/20/09","Mr. Bedein makes a case for greed keeping Israel from shutting down Gaza but he fails to deal with the Ghetto Jew mentality which seeks to appease an unappeasable world by playing nice with their enemies instead of defeating them.\nIsrael\'s amoral and craven leaders care for more worthless international PR than their own citizens. \nThe Jewish mindset of groveling and begging and retreating will gain influence and friends from the nations is the biggest threat to Israel.This is the same failed mentality  trying to show the world how adorable and cuddly Jews are which only leads to a second holocaust.Israel had better stop trying to show the International community how nice they are because it is having the opposite effect of what was intended.

They need to lose even more of our business than they would from the arabs. They are economic traitors; people such as these are behind all the murders the arabs perpetrate in this country.\n\nI am not in favor of waiting for the government, given its track record over many administrations.
