Nationally syndicated columnist Joseph Farah has come out blazing against the concessionist government of Israel. It was a powerful statement from a man who has long been one of the most hardcore Zionists of the national media.
Says Farrah, "The Jews, a people who have survived the deaths of many empires that tried to destroy them, have only one homeland, Israel, continuously occupied by them for 4,000 years and never a nation-state belonging to any others. Yet, despite all this, I am through defending Israel - at least the regime currently in power in Jerusalem, this useless coalition seemingly hell-bent on committing national suicide."
It is remarkable to Farah how Israel has managed to rebuke those who are their biggest supporters in the desperate attempt to please those who despise them most. Yet, to nobody's surprise, those who hated Israel before now hate Israel even more today. It is a stupidity that borders on insanity.
"I know I speak for many Jews and Christians throughout the world who see Israel's surrender as a cowardly betrayal," says Farah, "a sign that the Jewish state puts more faith in Washington and "international diplomacy" than in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
Farah is particularly angry (to say the least) about the endless stream of "good will gestures" Israel insists on giving to the vermin despite the constant terrorism.
"Enough of "land for peace," he barks. "It has never worked - not in Israel's history, nor in any other nation's history. Enough of retreat. Enough of unilateral withdrawals. Enough of staged surrender. Enough of the appeasement with evil. Enough of the madness."

No shocker. Farah is part of the religious right that caused the suffering of the Palestinians in the first place. His rejection of Olmert, who is himself only a slightly less radical rightwinger, shows just how fanatical and dangerous the right can be. Reminds me of the wackos who went on the Terry Schiavo crusades.
ReplyDeleteMZ, we need to be very careful in our dealings with the Christians, while they claim to be our friends many have ulterior motives. Sultanknish has a must read post about this http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteyeah madze, because we're evil - evil i tell you!
ReplyDeleteYea, Nanc, we have ulterior motives too! Of course some Christians are ninnies! They buy into that "Kingdom Now", "Dominion Theology" crappe! They read selected portions of Scripture and listen to "buffet" theologians! My late and I left more churches in Cal. over that issue! Stomp on that fire, it's straight from hell and smells of sulfur! G*D gave Israel to the Jews and them only. Any thing else is calling HIM a liar! I'm not even going there! Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson believe that nonsense, especially Buchanan! That is why he is anti-semitic! G*D promised it, it will happen!

MZ, I have been converting tapes of Rabbi Kahane onto DVD and I would like to offer you copies but I dont know your e-mail, if your interested e-mail at nih926@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI would love them, KL. I'll fire you off an email after Shabbos.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I don't know if you noticed, but friends of Israel and its right to exist as a Jewish State are just a bit hard to come by. Believe it or not, the Christian Zionists out there are SINCERE when they say they believe Israel is an eternal heritage given to the Jewish people by God.
ReplyDeleteIt's the liberals, moslems and self loathing Jews you should spend more time worrying about, anonymous. The Christians for Israel are not conning or BSing for a hidden agenda, I assure you. In a sense, you are spreading a blood libel against them when you make such a claim.
dayam - and i was just hoping i was evil...
ReplyDeleteGood Shabbos, all!

Dana you Moron
ReplyDeleteFarrah is a Arab Christian. Do you ever read anything other then high times or Indy Media?
good shabbos, madze.
ReplyDeleteMZ, while the Christians may genuinely be our friends, I remind you of the Rambam's Perush on Mishna Chanukkah where the Rambam brings down the reason for Yehuda HaMaccabbe's death and failure to become Mashiach Ben Yosef. What is the reason? that Yehida Hamaccabee made a alliance with Rome. This one moment of weakness in his Emunah was the cause of terrible suffering and evil, all because he felt the Jewish people needed "friends" rather then trusting entirely in Hashem.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, perhaps you've got a drug problem, or received too many wedgies from Christians when you were a kid, or are just suffering from Christophobia; either way, WAKE THE HELL UP!
ReplyDeleteYou are comparing the corrupt Hasmoneans, who sold out Israel and the Temple to the Jew-hating Hellenizers and Romans, with being gracious to those gentiles who believe that Israel belongs to THE JEWS and will do anything in their power to help make that happen?
You are a fool to bite their hand. They devote their lives to God's eternal decree that He will bless those who bless Jews and curses those who curse them, and you are trying to slander them as frauds?
YOU are showing a lack of faith in Hashem when you suggest that nobody but Jews can offer friendship to Israel. In fact, ANYBODY who blesses the Jewish people, and pledges support to their inalienable right to the Land, is a friend to us which we are commanded to bless as Moshe blessed Yitro. You owe the rightous gentiles an apology.
MZ, Yehuda HaMaccabe was in no way corrupt and was in fact among the greatest Tzadikkim of all time, while SOME of the Hashmonaim were bad some were great and Holy so please do not insult the whole dynasty for the Averos of some. It was in fact Herod who was Idumim who sold out Eretz Yisrael and The Beit HaMikdash to the Romans.
ReplyDeleteAlso Yitro was a Ger, he converted to Judaism. So he was not a righteous gentile but a Jew.
MZ, while I think some Christians are genuine in their support and they are righteous gentiles, we must be very careful to make sure of thier intentions, and I doubt most Christians would be happy to hear that when a Jewish government comes to power in Israel all foreign worship will be removed from Eretz Yisrael, all missionizing will be forbidden, and goyim will be forbidden from most parts of Har HaBayis. If they can accept these things and are true friends of the Jewish people then they are friends of mine.
Judah died very early in the war against the Hellenizers, as did his father Mattathius, leading to the ascent of the immoral, hellenized brother of Judah, Simon, who immediately began the dark era for the Hasmonean era. The reason that Chanukah failed to be cannonized as torah holiday was because the efforts to destroy hellenizers and create a real Jewish nation failed miserably in its infancy.
ReplyDeleteIf the Maccabes were alive today, they would welcome the efforts of the Christian Zionists to fight self-loathing hellensits.
However, if the Christian Zionists were insincere, and didn't really believe Israel was a nation given ONLY for the Jews, but was instead a land in which Jews should be gathered and converted to Christianty, than I would agree with your sentiments about them.
That said, I think you are grossly misunderstanding the devotion of most Christian Zionists when you blast them as duplicitous Jew converters.

Yehuda fought for twenty years before his death and while his brother wasnt perfect he was not a Hellenist
ReplyDeleteSimon was evil in God's eyes for having declared himself both King and High Priest for life. To boot, he did so in a Hellenistic ceremony! He paved the way for the Hellenized state that followed with his son Hycrannus. The Maccabes were rightous, but they failed ultimately in their goal to form a Torah nation, as the Hasmoneans persecuted the Rabbis and those who believed in Halacha. The Hasmoneans WERE the corrupt Sadduccees who brought about the distruction of the Beit Hamikdash many years later.
ReplyDeleteFatah and Hamas have the same underlying ideology, which is sworn to the annihilation of Jews. I'm not surprised at this story.
ReplyDeleteWeren't the Hasmodeans only half Jewish and the other half Edomite?

KL- When Messiah comes I have no doubt that ALL people will worship G*D in spirit and in truth! We will be called to present ourselves each year for worship. Do I sound unhappy? Not at all, I can hardly wait!
ReplyDeletetmw
I also think there will be surprises for all of us!

Merry, NO the Hashmonaim were entirely Jewish. Besides which you are either Jewish or not there is no partially Jewish just like you cant be a little pregnant.
ReplyDeleteHerod who seized power had non-Jewish anscestors though he was Jewish.
Okay, thank you for clarifying that, I wasn't sure. The source was a non believer, so the info was suspect.

JB, I believe Zionist gentiles have every right to visit and even live in Israel, with one important caviat: One must be Jewish to have citizenship.
ReplyDeleteThose who must be banned from Israel are the same ones who should be banned from America: moslems.
Not sure about what you mean by Supremacist belief, JB. If you mean a belief that no non-Jews may enter the Land of Israel, that isn't a Jewish ruling of any group that I've ever heard of, and if such a sect does exist they are totally insignificant.
ReplyDeleteJB, the fact is, we as Jews believe we owe it to the world to teach by example how to live the best possible life: the life of one who follows the mitzvos of Torah. We do believe that the Torah is the finest blueprint man has been given to live one's life by, but geneticaly we are no better or worse than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteI believe we as Jews need to do a better job of sharing our own Torah blessings with non-Jews: not to convert them, but to share some of the Jewish ways that has made us special and successful, and have the fear of the unknown that causes so many problems for us reduced to a minimum.
