There is actually only two views--G-d s/Hashem: and mans\'..... Now would I stoop to ask who you will believe? Man says that he will not pray for his enemy-- G-d says by praying for your enemy you are heaping coals of fire down on his head! I can see this as being amusing as I think Hashem has a sense of humor as I see all enemies as bald headed eventually or badly singed and blistered tormented rascals receiving what they deserve. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and its Jewish people and throw in a prayer for those who persecute you and trouble them into submission huh? G-d is good and is still in Charge. He is Awesome and supernatural ta-boot! Messiah is not within us but the Holy Spirit is: if we are born into the kingdom to come. The Spirit joins with our humanly spirit to call the heavenly Father, \"abba\" or daddy as a child would say. The messiah is forecast in hundreds of verses and the odds of it \'being so\' is overwhelming to staggering numbers. He is not related in any way to Allah or Confuscious or any other false diety, but is Jewish and from the house of David. Truth will set you free and you will be \'free\' indeed.

May the scales of unbelief be removed from the eyes of spiritually blinded that we All might rejoice to Almighty in Joy to see the truth!

AddReply(319730,"#32 sk - Never give up!","Michelle","Vancouver","07/01/08","For some time I had hoped that there would be a groundswell of support for a revolution in Israel.\n\nShouldn\'t Israelis have reacted already to everything that has been done to them, at least from Oslo on? \n\nShouldn\'t the examples of Eastern Europeans challenging the powerful Soviet state been an inspiration to show them the Power of the People?\n\nWell... it didn\'t happen, and you may be right. Maybe waiting for Israelis to rescue their country from the Bolsheviks is unlikely to happen.\n\nBut there\'s an alternative: a revolution from the top.\n\nIf only the leaders of the right-wing factions stopped discussing minor points and far-off goals and concentrated on a formula such as the one I propose, one with a very limited electoral platform to address the life-saving needs of the patient first (reform and protecting the integrity of the land of Israel), then later on Israelis can deal with issues such as:\n\n- Creating a federated state, or something like Switzerland, with plenty of local autonomy to satisfy the religious (who of course are diversified too) and the seculars.\n\n- Dealing with the very important issue of the Arabs within, whether citizens or not. Their birth rate is a weapon used in a variety of ways, voting being the first one. They can undermine the state in thousands of ways. They must be relocated to Jordan, Egypt, the West, other Arab states, anywhere.\n\nThe Arabs in Judea and Samaria and Gaza want to emigrate (the polls say so). They don\'t particularly like their own Palestinian culture filled with violence and endemic corruption. \n\nThis vision for a united anti-left force may seem simplistic but there are already signs that the right wing wants to unite .... for now. \n\nAnd that is the only solution. The only other alternative is to sit and watch the unraveling of Israel.\n\nOne more important point. I believe in the power of the media, not just print and television, but also advertising, the internet, YouTube, feature films, theatre, popular music concerts .... everything. Any possible way to reach the public is good enough if the message is worthwhile. Because the leadership will need the support of the people, if only so that they can show up at the voting booth and cast a ballot for reform.\n\nOpinions change. People can be motivated.\n\nThere was a time when smoking was \'chic\', even recommended by your doctor to calm your nerves.... Today smokers are regarded as pariahs.\n\nThere was also a time when only nuts would get up early in the morning to go jogging! What an idea! Today everyone is into some kind of workout. \n\nAnd there was a time when being eco-conscious was a sign of eccentricity at best and dangerous extremism at worst. Today everyone wants to \'reduce, reuse and recycle\' and it\'s considered politically incorrect to pollute our planet.\n\nEven the most impossible ideas can be sold - if only we use the right approach.\n\nIsraelis should not need media manipulation because they have the greatest motivation of all: survival. It\'s only a matter of making the idea of profound political change seem possible for them.\n\nThe message must be simple and unambiguous: \n\nWe are uniting to save our country for our children. Giving up part of our land signifies the end of Israel. The enemy does not want part of the land, they want all of Israel.\n\nThat\'s it.\n\nLeave the religious component of the message out of it for the time being. You need non-religious support, even the Israeli non-Jewish support (FSU gentiles, Christians, etc).\n\nFill the message with emotional content. Create videos, attractive posters, ads. Get celebrities on your side. \n\nOrganize concerts to raise funds. Raise funds among the rich and the not-so-rich by appealing to patriotism. \n\nGet students involved. Youth\'s enthusiam is key.\n\nHire the best American advertising agency to help you direct your campaign.\n\nThen go to an election as a united religious-secular front against the left.\n\nI really believe that the impossible (good and bad) can happen. We should not be passive and give up easily. \n\nWho would have thought that the Soviet empire would desintegrate, that the Berlin wall would collapse... \n\nAnd there was the Holocaust... who would have thought that it would happen in the twentieth century, in the middle of civilized Europe...\n\nNothing is certain, everything is possible...\n\nThat\'s why the struggle to protect Israel and the Jews of the world will never end. So never give up!");

The State of Israel, was there for me when I had to get out of the Galut. When I was becomming just another person whose identity is based on sports and materialism. \n\nWhen religious Jews in the Galut ridiculed me for not always being a practising Jew, when I arrived here, I was accepted as a brother. \n\nA great lyricist once said \"Pessimism is just an ism and an emotion but not a philosophy.....A just because you can recognize wrong doesnt mean that you know what is right\"\n\nSure, I am pessimistic about the state of Israel. Sure I am to see change and reform. \n\nBut the State needs to ensure our freedoms. If this state ever became monolithic. If Tamar one day had her Torah State, most would leave. And you all would be left alone defenseless and friendless in the world. So even though I believe in the Torah, I leave the praying and self redemption to others like Tamar. Meanwhile, I sleep, eat, breathe, and exist all for Israel. Ahavat Yisrael burns in my eyes and can be felt in my breath. \n\nLook, I cant remember if I said this before but I believe it was Lazarsfeld who coined the term \"Imagined communities\". It could have been someone else I cant rememeber off the top of my head. Basically, its the premise that almost all nations are based on \"Imagined communities\", where things like the government and the media reinforce that we are one big community, but in reality we arent. That we are fragmented and most of us have nothing in common or common ground. The closest being something like sports. Well, lets make it our job to squash this term \"imagined communities\". There is enough to divide us just internally, that we can get by all of our family quarrels, that alone can be a light to the other nations.\n\nMe saying the Moshiach is inside us has nothing to do with my level of belief, which in any case is no ones business but my opinion. But for those of us who actually made it to Israel, and dont live behind a vail of excuses for not comming, look around yourselves. Who did this? We did. Man. G-d may very well be the invisible hand behind it all, infact I am sure He is. But for the sake of my argument. Look. This is the Nation State of the Jews. Its good.

The Left isn\'t stupid, and it\'s very accomplished in manipulation. The only way I could imagine this working would be if sufficient Israelis implemented nonviolent direct action coupled with massive refusal to serve in the IDF, pay taxes, etc. Yet there is no evidence whatsoever that Israelis will do so, in part because only the ideologically motivated would, and the ideologically motivated Israeli tends to be a leftist. The average settler is ideological, but he buys into the holiness of Medinat Israel, so ideology in this case undermines actions such as refusal to serve in the IDF that really would be a Big Stick. Given the factions that are played one against the other by the Bolsheviks, I see no plausible path to the reform you adovcate.\n\nMike, I think you\'ve been a bit hard on Alef.

AddReply(319536,"David and YZN - Ahem..., with all due respect, your discussion is moot","Michelle","Vancouver","06/30/08","Why? Because without a secure state of Israel neither the religious nor the secular will get their wishes.\n\nI\'m driven to despair to read about the big and small issues on which so many of you are dispersing your energies.\n\nImagine you are a big family with a variety of interests and goals living on a farm somewhere. \n\nYou don\'t get along very well. There are more quarrels than points of agreement among you. Food fights. Yells and insults. Even some scuffles here and there. \n\nBut right outside your walls your enemies wait. They have you surrounded. You have a pretty good arsenal inside the house, so things are at a standstill ... for the time being... \n\nBut your enemies are clever. They have allied themselves with the town council and other organizations and they are in the process of changing the deed to your property so as to take it over. \n\nFirst they want legal ownership of your land and all your vineyards. They have been squatting there for a long time, basically unmolested. They feel they have their legal rights.\n\nNext they want shared ownership of the house, followed by your eventual eviction. You don\'t believe it can happen. But you want to get along. You keep trying to reach an understanding because they are neighbors, after all, and you need to live together in peace. Or so you try to convince yourselves.\n\nWhich brings me to today\'s discussions. The patriarch\'s sons and daughters are ideologically and strategically all over the map, so to speak. \n\nSome sons have deep sympathy for the squatters. This Jewish family is idealistic and compassionate, after all. And sometimes very rebellious against the Patriarch\'s rules and religion. \n\nA couple of the sons are in open discussions with the enemies aimed at sharing the house on equal terms. Many of the children have been studying Political Science and are well versed in notions of democracy, community, multiculturalism, equality for everyone, and all sorts of politically- correct, relativistic concepts.\n\nOther sons meet in the attic and are almost at each others\' throats disagreeing on points of the Torah.\n\nMeanwhile your enemies and their allies are very busy plotting, digging tunnels, stealing your crops, aggressing - sometimes fatally - unarmed members of the family, even children. This fills many of you with enough fear that you are ready to compromise to almost anything.\n\nThis picture is not very different from what\'s happening in Israel, with nationalist politicians in disagreement over this point and that, while the country slips through their fingers.\n\nThe time to decide how Jewish citizens are going to live in Israel - whether under religious or secular law - can take place only AFTER you have secured ownership of the country. \n\nRight now the land of Israel is being traded by Israelis, Americans, Arabs, and even Russian, French and other \"guests to the discussion\", and no Jew living anywhere in Israel can feel safe enough to believe that his house will be inherited by his children, let alone his grandchildren. Not even those living in Tel Aviv.\n\nTake a good look outside your window Israelis, and if you\'re not in a panic already, then there\'s something really wrong with you. And I say this with my deepest love for ALL of you, the religious first, but seculars too (I\'m one, after all).\n\nFirst you need to elect a transition government that will have two single items on its platform: Reform of the electoral system, the courts, etc., and a stop to all land giveaways to non-Jews, whether it\'s in Judea and Samaria or right in your towns in pre-67 Israel.\n\nOnce you have secured your land and gotten rid of the treasonous left that is destroying Israel from within - only then you can give yourselves the luxury of determining how the country going to be governed and what is going to be done with the Arab population within.

A no-brainer: replace oil by an affordable alternative and much of the pressure on Israel to appease the Arabs would diminish. \n\nThere have been cheap and green fuel alternatives for many decades but they have been silenced by those who profit from oil. \n\nI think people have had enough. Maybe this time it will happen. \n\nSo that\'s my wish to be added to your list, Tamar. \n\nAnd of course, I hope you keep feeling better too.!");

A full accounting of what the Jewish Agency leadership did and did not do in regards to the mass deportations from Hungary, which included of course many Jews who had fled there from Czechoslovakia.\n\n5. A conscious ramp-down by the leading megalomaniacs on these Blogs. That would include Fish and Mike, and to a lesser extent SK. \n\n6. Tamar and Dan deemphasizing the \'The NWO is doing it to us\' and instead more of the attitude of Pinner, Mike and SK about taking responsibility for the Jewish fate.\n\n7. The destruction of Shas. At this point, given the Kuntar decision and Yishai\'s statements, I would favor Mike-SK tactics to humiliate and ruin Shas and embarass those \'Torah\' Jews who support a travesty that this \'non-Torah\' Jew opposes.\n\nG-d Help Us.");
