Zionism and Intermarriage

Israels prime minister has been put in a very embarassing situation with his son Yair dating seriuosly a non Jewish woman from Norway.
As the politiclal leader of Israel he has made it a point of insisting in peace negotitations that Israel be recognized as the Jewish state of the Jewish people.
In his view and many others having a state is critical for survival of the Jewish people.
As he is busy explaining this to the whole world his son is contemplating marrying a non Jew.
Intermarriage is the greatest threat to Jewish people. Benjiman Netanyahu has been saying for some time that Israel is and will continue to be the Jewsih peoples greatest strength.
It is terribly ironic that the son of the prime minister would erode the central mantra of his father.
This has to be a great headache to his father and any other Jews around the world.
Let's hope this relationship falls apart very soon.

Sharon has died while Kerry does not know when to quit

The former Prime Minister of Israel has died, Ariel Sharon has died and few have shed real tears. Very few people came to pay repects to this man of many contridictions.
After the funeral and in the last few days there has been a minor war of attrition between the Hamas and the Israeli army.
These events ar still connected to Sharons travesty of a unilateral pullout from the Gaza Strip over eight years ago.
Any subsequent pullout by the IDF from other strategic areas will result in similiar shellings and bombings of Israel.
Kerry is obsessed with reaching a deal at any cost, reality be damned.
It is a clear dead end that Kerry is facing and all the meetings in the world will not change that stark reality.
His boss President Obama needs some " winning policy " as his presidency seem to be spinning out of control.
The real question is what happens next? When it hits the fan that Kerry has failed as he must, what then? One scenario has not been discussed to much.
As the Arab world deals with crisis after crisis it might grow tired of a problem they created to bother Israel with.
As they see that the palestinians are acting as stubborn ingrates they will wash there hands of the entire problem.
when that happens a solution based on one man one vote in large parts of Judea and samaria may happen.
there may be some demographic changes that include minor land moves.
Kerry is wasting his time and US taxpayer money.

Sharon is dying

The former General and Prime Minister and lets not forget Defense Minister is very close to death. In fact when many of you read this article he will probably be dead.
Incredibly for all the things he has done there will be few shedding a tear when the end comes.
The left will never really forgive him for being instrumental in the building of so many settlements in Judea and Samaria.
The right wing and settler movement despise him for his actions in the forcible removal of Jewish settlements in the Gaza strip in 2005.
His scoffing at critics and predictions of doom if he carried out his ethinic cleansing policy in the Gaza strip became famous.
His pompous attitude to all became his last legacy before he collapsed from a serious of strokes.
It was clear that he was over weight and to many it was a manefistation of his attiude that no one can could tell him what to do or how to live his life.
He will be remembered not as a successful military man but mainly as someone who lied to his constituients and stabbed in the back his most loyal backers.
Few are really upset at his condition except for immediate family and some die hard backers.
Jewish children will remember him as a evil person who caused untold heartache to thousands of settler families.

Kerry is coming to middle east again

If at first you don't succeed try try again the old saying goes.
John Kerry is clearly obsessed with acheiving some kind of deal no matter what.
The seemingly impossible task at hand does not daunt him at all or so it seems.
What many see clearly as a clear dead end Kerry sees as a viable possibility.
There is no chance of a agreement between the sides in the forseable future.
It won't happen.
When the Arab side understands that the state they want is not going to happen for a very long time if ever it may get very violent.
Kerry is wasting American tax dollars for fruitless escapades in the Middle East.
It's about time to rethink the entire model of a two state solution.
As it won't happen the other alternative is one big state with voting rights for all.
This is a scary proposition for some but there comes a time where reality needs to be faced.
Better sooner than later.

It's been four years

Four years have passed since my father's passing.
This most traumatic of lifes events is continuing to make a deep impact on my life.
What my father instilled in me is a continous driving force in my life.
His love of the land of Israel and of Jewish tradition helped shape who I am.
As a young man he had little oppurtunity to reach the land of Israel or even to develop himself.
He survived World War 2 miraculously while most of his siblings were murdered.
That did not deter him from reaching Israel and fufilling his dream of stepping on the soil of the holy land.
He in fact made Aliyah at age 94 once again announcing at the airport " he has come to save the country ".
Losing a parent is always very difficult.
One truly is not a child anymore when a parent is gone.
That's the real difficulty.
May his memory be a blessing to his children and grand children.

Jewish Survival

Israels prime minister has his faults, oration is not one of them.
In perhaps his best public speech of all time he simply and eleqently presented to the world that the Jewish people would not go like sheep to the slaughter.
The world believes for better or worse that he will direct an attack on Iran if no other choice is found.
This may bring chaos to the middle east but Iran understands that if they do get to close to the no return level, Israel will strike.
This is a game of nuclear chicken that Israel will not play.
Benjamins Netanyahu's entire political career has been based on stopping Iran from getting the bomb.
To contemplate that he will flinch when when Israels back is to the wall is unfathomable.
As the west is seen to be shying away from conflict a Israeli strike seems more likely.
Hard to say when this will happen.
Hold on to your hats.

Peace in our time

The incredible weakness shown by the United States and most of the civilized world in the Syrian crisis will have severe repurcussions.

The United States has ceased to be a superpower and left the world to chaos.

The Iranians will continue to build nuclear weapons unabated, without fear.

The world does not fear the United States anymore.

President Obama is the Chamberlain of our time.

Somebody should give him an umbrella.
