Pure evil

Those who wish to destroy the Jewish people have used many tactics.
The best and simplest one seems to be just finding vulnerable Jews and killing them.
The basic approach.
Though there has been numerous heinous terrorist attacks in the last one hundred years in Israel or then Palestine, the latest one is on a different level it seems.
The cold blooded murder and hacking off of body parts of worshipers seems to defy any basic norm of humanity.
It seems that the Islamic states influence has taken hold of local terrorists.
They entered the synagogue with meat cleavers and were acting out Islamic state practices.
Israel is not doing to much and is limited with what it can do to counter these cowardly acts.
The houses of these criminals will be destroyed but it is unlikely that this will slow down the attacks.
There are things that would help the situation but are complicated because of the democratic nature of Israel.
1. Destroying houses faster than now so there will be a direct cause and effect to actions of this kind.
2. deportation of immediate and not so immediate family of perpetrators of these crimes
3. A new settlement or building expansion for every terrorist attack
4. Stoppage of social security payments to immediate family members of the criminals
5. no returning of bodies for burial to next of kin
6. placement of bodies in pig skin
This problem will not go away and will worsen.
Israel will be forced to take drastic steps to survive.
The worst is yet to come.

Iran the bomb and all the rest

President Obama will soon be faced with a grim choice as Iranian nuclear talks predictibly have bogged down.
Using military force is the last thing he wants to do as he has committed to scaling down the use of the American military everywhere.
If he does not force Irans hand then Israel will be forced to do so.
Even the imminent threat of Israels military action complicates things while Obama attempts to strengthen his coalition against the Islamic state.
What makes matters even more Iran and the Islamic state are mortal enemies.
That would mean weakening Iran strengthens the Islamic state.
Obama understands that both are insane Islamic fundamentalists that would use the bomb on the US Israel and Europe.
While this is going on the Islamic State is still making headway and does not seem to be on the run due to American bombing raids.
The Islamic state wants very much that US troops engage them in the field of battle.
Everyone understands that US POWs would be publicly executed as the Islamic State has done to other Americans and British.
Obama also understands that without ground troops the Islamic State cannot be beaten but loathes as the thought of Americans being executed on Youtube video.
He will have little choice as US troops will need to be on the ground at some point.
He would rather be playing golf.
He may be unsure on what to do.
That is scary

A Jew has been stabbed in Antwerp

A Jew was stabbed in the neck Saturday morning in Belgium in the latest of anti-semitic incidents in Europe.
Jews have been told not to walk around Europe with skull caps or other clear Jewish markings.
There have been thousands of these type of incidents in the last few years and the trend is only increasing.
Its a bit pathetic to see Belgium police protecting a synagogue while Ultra-Orthodox Jews look on.
It is likely that many of these Jews would prefer to move to Israel ( not all ) but are stuck there for different reasons.
To see Jewish blood spilled on European soil once again is difficult to deal with.
The generation of holocaust survivors cringe at the thought of cowardly acts of this kind.
There really is only one solution to this problem and that is these Jews and others must come home.
They must make plans to move to Israel.
There is no other way.
May we merit to see those Belgium Jews coming back here.

They keep on trying

Since the first wave of Aliya to then Palestine the local Arabs and others have been trying every way to stop the return of Jews to their ancestral homeland.
This has taken many forms but the usual way was to try to just plain kill Jews.
The most famous of these pogroms happened in the city of Hebron in 1929 where 67 Jews were killed and many more wounded.
Interestingly enough the motive believed to be behind this violence was the rumor that the Jews were about to attack the Al- Aksa mosque.
Sound familiar?
Then there was little protection then as even the first Jewish militias were in their infancy.
After those failed attempts to scare Jews from arriving full out wars ensued.
!948 war of independence
1956 Sinai campaign
1967 Six day war
!973 Yom Kippur war
1982 Peace for Galilee war
2006 Lebanon war
2008 Gaza war
2014 Gaza war
There have been countless intifadas or armed insurrections.
It looks like we are in the midst of new insurrection.
There is nothing really new about what is going on now. The Jews are the Jews and the Arabs are Arabs and the sea is the same sea. Those who fear that the Arabs want to push the Jews into the sea are not paranoid.
This is the brutal reality.
It will only get worse.
What should be done?
There needs to be emergency measures taken immediately.
Any man woman or child who breaks the law by throwing a rock or worse needs to be deported with entire family .
This needs to be done swiftly after incident occurs.
Homes of terrorists need to be destroyed in greater numbers.
Massive building projects need to be implemented to increase the Jewish presence in Jerusalem. The temple mount needs to be closed until the queit returns. There has to be a system created for Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount. The more things change the more they stay the same.
The world looks to see how we handle this.
The violence of Islam is threatening the world.
It is time to deal with it head on.

Terror War

Call it intifada or terror war it does not matter.
Israel is now in a war on its citizens everywhere.
It does not matter where you are whether Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv or Judea and Samaria.
Being Jewish is reason enough to be targeted and killed.
There are those that blame Israel for not adhering to human rights in Israel and Judea and Samaria.
Some of these allegations have substance but no one asks why adherence endangers lives.
The only reason there are inconsistencies in this area is because of security concerns.
Life or death concerns.
Entire families of terrorists should be expelled, extreme measures are needed.
Alas a democratic free country has much difficulty dealing with terror.
This powder keg is ready to explode.

Here we go again

If it sounds like an intifada and it looks like a intifada and even smells like a intifada ( burning tires and molotov cocktails) then it must be a intifada!
Everyone is asking is this a new insurrection of the Arabs in greater Israel and Judea Samaria?
The truth is that we have been in a insurrection for about 100 years now with short intervals of some quiet.
So it basically meaningless how we define the present situation.
Many Arabs involved in these riots have not internalized that Israel is here to stay.
They believe that Israel is a passing fad that will disappear shortly to make way for the great state of Palestine.
This is what they are taught and what they hear.
It is just a matter of time before the spoiled Israelis will get tired of all the craziness here and just move to Berlin
Some have actually done so in fact!
They do understand that there still is a core ideological base of Jews who live here but think that is not enough to deal with the challenges that face Israel.
They are clearly right in the sense that many are tired of the constant trouble and would leave if they could.
But they are wrong in their conclusions.
There still is enough Jews here who will fight and sacrifice all to be part of the prophesy of the return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel.
Yes it is true that Israelis are moving to Berlin but many more Jews are making Aliyah and moving to Judea and Samaria.
We have come to stay and no power in the world can change that.
It cannot happen.

It happened again

Three Israeli soldiers were injured, one seriously in a terrorist hit and run attack yesterday near the Eztion bloc Judea, Israel.
Those who wish to see us leave the land of Israel have found a new method to injure kill and leave the scene of the crime quickly.
This hit and run terror is working and has turned Jerusalem into a war zone.
Extreme measures need to be taken that include roadblocks at the entrance to Arab neighborhoods and checking every single car that leaves a Arab area.
The immediate closure of the temple mount to all visitors until a proper system is devised to guarantee Jewish prayer.
There needs to built a structure that will house a "minyan" or quarom of Jews praying three times a day .
This of course needs to be done in accordance with Jewish law, but needs to be done.
Three times a day there should be at least ten Jews praying as representatives of the entire Jewish people.
The wailing wall is the wall of the temple and the temple mount is one step above in its holiness and significance.
The Arab world will not calm down whether Jews pray on the temple mount or not.
For Israel not to allow prayer on the Temple mount is terrorist extortion that no one should accept.
The worst is yet to come...
