The "Road map" has become a one-way highway to
Hell. Some kind of monstrous dybbuk has infested the souls
of Israel's leaders, turning them into completely irrational beings,
compelling them to agree to every outrageous and irreversible demand of
the Palestinians, while the Palestinians promise to make more promises
which they fail to keep. This is the same dybbuk
which has caused the Israeli media and intelligentsia to reject their own
people and embrace those who only want to see them dead, who blame the
righteous Jews of Israel for "stealing Palestinian land" and "settling" in
parts of the Holy Land which the enemies of the Jews claim for their own
and insist that every Jew must be expelled. At the same time they demand
that they should be allowed to "return" to what is left of Israel and
destroy what is left of the Jewish State by causing the Jews to become a
minority in their own land. This dybbuk,
this evil possessive spirit, has a name. It is called the "Roadmap
to Peace"
even though it does not lead to peace, but to ruin.
This evening Jews worldwide will begin the observance of the fast of
Tisha B'Av, a day which commemorates the destruction of both
Temples in Jerusalem, and other calamities that have befallen the Jewish
people over the past two millennia, including the Crusades, the
Inquisition, the Holocaust, the suppression of Jewish religious observance
in the Soviet Union, and the present, modern State of Israel, where Jews
are forced to make suicidal concessions to their enemies, receiving
nothing in return. The premise of Zionism was
that if only the Jews had a country that they could call their own, they
would be respected among the nations, and Jews suffering from persecution
would find a safe haven. It is said that the second
Temple was destroyed because of Sinat Hinom, "useless
hatred" between Jews and their own brethren. Today, the State of Israel
has become an inferno of "useless hatred." An entire political party,
Shinui, has come to power and occupied ministerial positions in the
government based on their singular platform of Hatred of Religious
Jewry. The Israeli Minister of Justice, the boss of this
abominable gang of useless haters, abused his office by giving 45 million
shekels to another group of useless haters, alleged "cinematic artists,"
to produce, with Israeli taxpayer money, a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli
propaganda film, as if all the oceans of propaganda sewage erupting out of
the Arab, European and left-wing American media is not enough. Another group of Jews, possessed by the evil
dybbuk known as "Peace Now!" but whose real identity is
"Capitulation Now!" points a self-righteous finger of blame at the only
remaining Zionists in the Holy Land, the best soldiers and the most
courageous pioneers, calling them "obstacles to peace." The once-respected
Jewish Agency, whose job it once was to rescue Jews who were
suffering from persecution in other lands, now recruit non-Jews from
Russia to import anti-Semitism into Israel itself! The
Haredim too, keepers of the flame of Torah, must come to
realize that Eretz Israel is their land, that secular Jews are their
brothers and sisters, and should not attempt to avoid defending the lives
of their fellow Jews, but join the battle as the armies of old, with the
Torah in one hand and a gun in the other. Even our
friends, our allies among the nations, inexplicably insist that Israel
must continue to make more concessions, give up more land, release more
criminals, while demanding nothing for the other side. The
righteous Gentiles, the Christians who support the claim of the Jews to
the Holy Land, how are they treated by our people? By silly objections to
a Christian-themed motion picture that harms no one. This is the evil
which causes us to shun our friends, and embrace those who would
annihilate us. What friends does Israel have left? We
are an Am levedad yishkon, uva'goyim lo yitkhashuv (A Nation
which dwells alone, and is not reckoned amongst the other Nations. Numbers
23:9) These were the words spoken by Balaam, who had been ordered by King
Balak to curse the Israelites, and yet G-D put a blessing into his mouth
instead of the curse. Has Zionism failed? The secular
Zionism of Herzl, Nordau, Chaim Weizmann, Ben-Gurion, is virtually
extinct. Religious Zionism, which comprises the most dedicated pioneers
and elite combat units of the IDF, and the overwhelming majority of
immigrants from English-speaking countries, who come out of idealism
rather then escaping persecution, is systematically being denigrated as
"extremist settlers," as "Jewish terrorists" (G-D forbid), as "obstacles
to peace." G-D rules the world. G-D can harden the
hearts of Presidents and Prime Ministers, as He hardened the heart of
Pharaoh, or He can take a curse out of the mouth of an enemy and replace
it with a blessing, as He did with Balaam. Because "The hearts of Kings
and Princes are in the hands of G-D."
This purpose of this is not to cause despair, but to make people realize
that salvation comes only from the King of all Kings, the Holy One,
Blessed be He. In their desperation, people will
begin to understand that true peace cannot be achieved by the U.S., the
U.N., the "Roadmap" or the "Peace Process." True Peace comes from faith in
G-D and praying to Him for salvation. There is a
prayer at the top of this page for the safety and victory of the Soldiers
of Israel that all lovers of Israel, both Jews and Gentiles, can say. For
those who do not read Hebrew, here is a translation in English:
| He Who
blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He
bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand
guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border
of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea
unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and
on the sea.
May the
Lord
cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down
before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and
rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and
from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and
success in their every endeavor.
May He lead
our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation
and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for
them the verse: For it is the Lord, your G-d, Who goes with you
to battle your enemies for you to save you.
May it be Your Will, Lord our G-d and G-d of our ancestors,
to rebuild the Holy Temple speedily and in our time, and give
us our portion in your Torah. Amen. |
May G-D hear our prayers and send Moshiach,
immediately. |
