When I see what is going on with the Israeli government these days, I cannot help but wonder if many of those in charge are body doubles inserted by the enemies of the Jewish people. After all, with some of the recent moves instituted by the government, it?s as if the government itself is bent upon the destruction of Israel and the further oppression and humiliation of the Hebrew people. In no particular order, here are some of the questionable decisions made by the Israeli government.
Israel?s economy is rapidly going south. Her citizens are experiencing a crushing unemployment rate, and poverty among Israelis is at an all-time high. Any sane and rational government would try to help her citizens get jobs by banning foreign workers and thus opening up those jobs to her own citizens. But what does the Israeli government do? It issues 29,000 work permits to people who overwhelmingly support the murder of Jews and try, at every opportunity, to destroy the state of Israel and any Jew they can find.
I have suggested banning foreign workers before and got the following argument: ?They take the jobs the Israelis don?t want and wouldn?t take.? To those who have said that, I wish you could see my email. I average between 15 and 20 personal responses to every editorial I write. With one exception. When I wrote about banning foreign workers to open up the jobs to Israelis, I was swamped for three days with emails (I stopped counting after 50). The majority were from unemployed Israelis, who said they would be happy to take whatever job they could get, no matter how menial, simply so they could have shelter and food. It made me want to cry. And now, the Israeli government is taking food from out of the mouths of her own citizens and giving it to the same Arabs who dance in the streets every time a Jewish baby or adult is blown to bloody shreds.
Aside from the fact that it is beyond a sin to give aid and comfort to the enemy while letting one?s own people struggle for survival, letting in 29,000 Arabs who rejoice in the murder of Jews is inviting further genocide. The Israeli government has essentially given a green light for the genocide bombers to enter Israel with impunity. This latest government move is in essence saying, ?Screw you, Israeli citizens who pay our salaries. We are going to make your struggles even harder by flooding the job market with 29,000 hostile foreigners. We are also going to put your lives in immediate peril by letting in these workers, some of whom will then use their work permits to enter our country for the sole purpose of committing Jewish genocide.?
Next we come to the atrocity of Jews expelling their own people from their own homeland. I must say I agree that some so-called outposts ? abandoned and burned-out buses and the like ? are not deserving of the resources it takes to maintain them in their deserted decrepitude. However, forcibly taking away Jewish homes from fellow Jews living in the Jewish ancestral homeland and giving it to the sworn enemy of the Jews is an abomination beyond words. It is reminiscent of the mass expulsions of Jews from Europe and the Arab countries. It is also spitting on the graves of the very people who fought and died to regain the ancient Jewish homeland and return it to its rightful and indigenous people. For shame!
Then there is the prosecution of Arutz Sheva. I thought Israel was a democracy and that freedom of speech was a guaranteed right under this system of governance (silly American that I am). From reading various news articles about the government?s case against A-7, it became abundantly clear to me that the whole case was not about the broadcasting ship straying a few meters into Israeli-controlled water without a license. Nor was it about true ?incitement.? If the Israeli government was so concerned about ?incitement,? it would have long ago prosecuted and jailed those imams preaching genocide of the Jews from inside Israeli territory. Yet those imams, as well as others, remain immune to prosecution. For shame!
And lastly, a major policy initiative by the United States seems to have passed without even a minor protest. For those of you who are unaware, James Baker has just been appointed special envoy to the Middle East and mediator in the dispute (actually, state of war) that still exists between Israel and Syria. This is the same James Baker who, during the reelection campaign of President Bush?s father in 1992, said "F*** the Jews. They don?t vote for us anyhow." (A reference to the Republican Party.) No hue and cry, Mr. Sharon? Not even a mild questioning, but blind acceptance of such an obvious anti-Semite? For shame.
