"The people need to vote for a party that is against assimilation.
Choose a party that is against drugs and alcohol.
Choose a party that will not give one centimeter to the Arabs.
Choose a party that cares about the citizens of the state.
Choose a party that will bring immigrants to the holy land of Israel."
However, how does one know which party is representing who they are in all honestly. Platforms, before elections, are created to appeal to what they believe the people want, but after elections . . . that is a different animal.
Shmuley Boteach's Shabbos Experience of Jew Hatred/Israel Hatred in Manhattan
A Warning to All Jews in New York
"I was appalled. I got closer. The protesters were accusing Leviev, a private Jewish citizens, of stealing Palestinian land, persecuting Palestinians, and supporting an imperial Israel.
I asked the protesters who Leviev was and why they were protesting him. Was he Israel’s Prime Minister or Foreign Minister? At least the Ambassador. How else to explain why they would be protesting outside a business simply owned by a Jew.
They told me he was an Israeli who supported Israel’s persecution of the Palestinians. He was a known, high-profile Jewish businessman. They were there to make sure no one bought his products.
I had had enough. I raised my hands into the air, in the mist of the protest, and said loudly, “Long Live Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. The only country in that dark region that is a bastion of liberty and human rights. A place where Palestinian women need never fear honor killings. A place where Israeli Arabs have more guaranteed rights than any Arab nation. A place where gay Palestinians need not fear being shot in the head on false charges of collaboration. A place where Arabs can protest publicly, just like all of you, and not be shot. Long live righteous and majestic Israel.”
Instantly, all the protestors forgot about Leviev and turned their ire toward me. I was now the devil. They were shouting at me, abusing me ...
I got louder.
“How revolting of all of you to protest a business because it’s owned by a Jew.” What is this? Nuremberg 1934? Absolutely reprehensible.
My kids were now engaged in the fight, singing “Am Yisrael Chai. The Jewish people are alive and well.” We were louder than the protestors.
I started saying “Down with Hamas which allows honor killings of innocent Palestinian women. Down with Hamas that slaughters innocent Palestinian gay men. Down with the Palestinian…. ” and I was about to say “… Authority for refusing to go to elections in 10 years and creating a dictatorship, robbing the Palestinian people of their freedom” when I saw that someone was filming me on the Sabbath.
The police came over, trying to quell the confrontation. They have a permit, he said. They have the right to protest.
God bless America. I respect their right for public demonstration. But I also respect my right to write this in a column.
Jews of the world.
Wake up.
There has never been an assault on us like this in our lifetimes. And we are allowing it. Through our timidity and through closing our eyes and pretending not to see, it’s growing. Our enemies are arraying against us. They have substituted anti-Semitism for Anti-Israelism. But it’s the same sentiment.
Jew-hatred, pure and simple.
[…]
But who would be next? Which Jewish business would they target next?
A few hours later we went to the Chabad public Menorah lighting outside the Plaza hotel on 5th Ave. There was a small protest against Israel there was well. Joining the protest was a 20-something man who told us all that the Jews owned all of 5th Avenue. He pointed across the street at the famous Apple 5th Avenue store. “Apple is owned by Jews.”
I looked at him.
“Um, erg, hmmm. Did you know that Steve Jobs was the son of an Arab-American? So how does that square with the Jews owning Apple?”
“Well the Jews bought it from Jobs with the endless money they have.”
[…]
And so it goes. Jewish timidity in the United States is allowing more and more of these outrages to take place.
I wonder if we recognize the seriousness of what’s happening or will it engulf us before we take decisive action?
[…]
Organizations who dare hold ordinary Jews responsible for actions in the Middle East – which would be the equivalent of protesting an Arab-owned department store in Detroit for the butchery of Bashar Assad in Syria – should themselves be targeted for public demonstrations, calling them what they are: anti-Semites.
"Abbas, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, are great liars and conspirators. Anyone who would give portions of the Land of Israel will be in mortal danger – a danger to his life. This is not what happened in Gush Katif and Hevel Yamit; this time the payments are not delayed will be paid immediately. Anyone who cares should be careful, and not say he was not warned by heaven. The land of Israel has belonged to the Jews for thousands of years; the Creator is not ready to give up any piece of the land of Israel. HE warns you and warns you that this land belongs to the Holy One, blessed be He, and the State of Israel!" "Every Jew who wants to be a Jew and be successful in his undertakings will follow the Torah."
Sorry, I don't have a translation. I would very much love to know what MK Moshe Feiglin is explaining to us. Nevertheless, we can almost feel being there:
This is an American Marxist Leftist idea; to take children away from under their parents' care. This must be stopped. The Government's dissolution is necessary if only for this diabolical plan: "A bill recently proposed by the justice (a/k/a Livni) ministry indicates that it is seeking to take away parents' custodianship of children in Israel. Tzipi Livni's removal from office has temporarily halted the move, which reflects a neo-Marxist approach to the family, in which the state takes over from parents as the ultimate guardian and custodian. "The government-sponsored bill, named “Parents and Their Children,” cancels the concept of natural parental guardianship over children. Its explanatory notes say that it aims “to assimilate a new normative perception... in the matters between parents and their minor children.” "It replaces the terms “custody” and “guardianship” with “parental responsibility,” leaving parents responsible for their children but stripping them of the authority that goes along with that responsibility."
Please read the full article here and if it is within your ability, fight this reprehensible idea.
Maybe they don't think it proper, but to threaten like this is blackmail . . .
"Every woman who campaigns against the gedolei haTorah (Torah sages) of Israel will make sure her children will not attend hareidi education institutions, and no one will do business with her or work with her, and all of her descendants will be expelled from our schools," Rabbi Mordechai Blau threatened in remarks made to the hareidi media Sunday night.
and intimidation, and the person who said this may be culpable and guilty of an illegal act.
"I guarantee... to implement all of the above, and the above will also apply to men" who support the women's efforts."
Meanwhile, Rabbi Amnon Bazaq, of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shvut, (…) that if hareidi parties do not begin opening up their ranks to women (…) they may lose a significant number of votes.
"If this does not happen," he warned, "it will raise questions once again about the ways hareidi leadership manipulate halakha [Jewish law] according to their political needs." Arutz 7
Israelis bracing against the storm, the storm of world opinion ever voiced against our existence and how we can live, how we can govern, how we can grow, how we can build, and how we can provide for our children, the elderly, and ourselves.
But Hashem shows us a sign, a sign that He will always be there for us, to protect us, to shield us from the onslaught of hypocrisy and hate showering down upon us. He shows us His rainbow in the sky, a promise forever.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, tells it like it is.
He told the gathered dignitaries that the event to mark International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People was "not about speaking for peace or speaking for the Palestinian people – it is about speaking against Israel." "To the nations that continue to allow prejudice to prevail over truth, I say 'J’accuse,'" Prosor told the attendees, "I accuse you of hypocrisy. I accuse you of demanding concessions from Israel, but asking nothing of the Palestinians." "I accuse you of speaking about Israel’s right of self-defense in theory, but denying it in practice. I accuse you of lending legitimacy to those who seek to destroy our state," said Prosor, adding, "Our conflict has never been about the establishment of a Palestinian state. It has always been about the existence of the Jewish state." "I accuse you of speaking about Israel’s right of self-defense in theory, but denying it in practice. I accuse you of lending legitimacy to those who seek to destroy our state," said Prosor, adding, "Our conflict has never been about the establishment of a Palestinian state. It has always been about the existence of the Jewish state." "… among 193 flags at the UN there is one flag with a Jewish Star of David. There is just one small nation state for the Jewish people, and for some people, that is one too many."
Suicide Terrorism is Back … No bomb, nails, poison … just CARS
Listen to Rav Wolfson describe in great detail the nature of Yishmael, in today's times. It is very revealing: the Occupation of Yishmael in Eretz Yisrael (subtitled: "The Nisayon of the Akeidah and Our Generation"). Apropos to the spate of current events:
"Israel Radio reported that a new social media campaign making its way online calls for more terror attacks using vehicles as weapons. The campaign is reportedly called “Daas,” the Arabic word for “run over,” which is also a play on words for the Arabic acronym “Daesh” for the terror group the Islamic State. " TimesofIsrael(see my comment below)
Since all their words are the opposite of the truth and sechel (intelligence), this new suicide approach is aptly named "Daas" to really reflect the mind of Yishmael: defamation, misrepresentation, deceit and lies spewing forth against Am Yisrael; he knows no other behavior.
It is absurd to me that the State of Israel is NOT protecting its citizens properly. This should NOT be occurring in a so-called democratic country. The nations watch like hawks, and adjust their level of protection of their Jewish citizens accordingly. If Israel is derelict in protecting Jews, why should any other nation do more, as they are already rampant with muslim anti-semitism.
Assassination attempt by Arab against Yehuda Glick, advocate for the Temple Mount.
"former Palestinian Authority (PA) Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei called for "immediate intervention" against the event." ArutzSheva reports: The shocking revelation was made by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), which translated a statement released in the official PA news agency WAFA last Wednesday morning by Qurei, also known as Abu Alla, who is a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee.
Resident of Beitar under Rocket Attack on way Home
Riva Schertzman says she's lucky to be alive after she was ambushed by an Arab mob near Beitar. "I saw a lot... about 40 of them... and I thought, 'oh no, I'm in trouble'."
"66-year-old Riva Schertzman told Arutz Sheva how she was driving south along Route 60 from the capital early Sunday afternoon, when she passed by the Arab town of Husan. As she navigated the winding road she was suddenly confronted by a terrifying scene: dozens of masked Arab rioters, armed with massive rocks, waiting at the side of the busy road."
Blowtorch Attack in London
"After a survey which suggests that most London Muslims support ISIS, it should surprise no one that they’re showing their support: An Army Cadet was blasted in the face with a makeshift blowtorch in an unprovoked attack after selling poppies for Remembrance Sunday." by Daniel Greenfield in FrontPage Magazine. (While this probably involved a non-Jew, it is frightening in the brazenness of muslim terror ingenuity.)
Knesset Member Mualem attacked on Temple Mount
MK Shuli Mualem Harassed by (aggressive female) Islamists on Temple Mount. Footage from her visit shows how Muslim worshipers - mainly women - subjected her to the same kind of harassment which other Jewish visitors are regularly accustomed to. See Video of attack here. (I call it an attack because they defied the police, and were they not accompanying the MK surely she would have been physically abused by these muslim women.)
Even the Departed from this world are being attacked.
Mount of Olives Grave Desecration. Police have finally arrested some of the culprits behind the constant desecration of the Mount of Olives Jewish cemetery, thought to be the oldest cemetery still in use in the world, as three Arab suspects were arrested on Monday on suspicion of destroying graves. (Finally? No respect. The police are derelict in their duties for the living and the dead)
Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi spoke about the increase of the type of terror to be committed by the Arabs. He speaks about the murder of children and the essence of the terror inside the palestinian, and how it will continue and increase until ... :
". . . No state or country in the world can harm the State of Israel in the Holy Land. Repair and pain of the people of Israel is finished! The Land of Israel is sacred, every country trying to harm the State of Israel – G-d will give that country a blow from which it will never recover, the Almighty gives them blows, divisions between countries, natural disasters, hard rains over the world, earthquakes, floods and disasters in planes,trains and cars. . . ."
"Terrified Jewish nursery school and kindergarten children were rushed into bomb shelters in Jerusalem’s Maaleh HaZeitim neighborhood after 10 masked Arabs attacked the Jerusalem neighborhood’s complex with Molotov cocktails, fireworks and stones on Tuesday."
"The Jerusalem Police have instructed Citipass, the company that runs the capital's Light Rail system, not to inform the media and the public of rock attacks on its railway lines, unless it receives police approval to do so.
First, Police are a no-show on Rosh HaShana in Silwan, so religious Jews can go to Tashlich ...
According to Voice of Israel public radio, the Commander of the Zion Precinct, Brigadier General Amnon Alkalai, called Citipass Director Doron Ravid and told him that the reports hurt police and encourage the attackers."
Now, Police are instructing to be 'mum' about attacks on the Citi Rail ...
"Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat recently urged media outlets not to focus on the spike in Arab violence - dubbed "the silent intifada" by residents - saying that talking about the phenomenon too much could hurt local businesses. But residents have dismissed the claims and ask why police don't simply crack down harder on the rioters."
Now, Mayor Barkat says "not to focus on Terror" . . . caving in to Arab Violence
"According to the most recent Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet) report on Jerusalem, terror has risen dramatically in the city since then - from 22 incidents in May and June to 152 in July and August, a whopping 509% increase."
When will the Israeli establishment reverse the (American imported) leftist ideology that the victim is to be blamed, and the terrorist is to be excused.
"I turned around to face him but as I turned someone else ran out of nowhere with a two-by-four with nails in it, and began hitting me on the head."
Victim of Arab attack over Rosh Hashanah says police nowhere to be found, claims victims of terror no longer able to defend themselves. Local Arab youths took advantage of the lack of police presence almost immediately to carry out what appears to have been a pre-planned ambush.
"The site, which dates back to the Byzantine era, is usually frequented by Jewish worshippers during Rosh Hashanah, and the route through the predominantly Arab neighborhood of Shiloach (also known as Silwan) is supposed to be secured by police in order to prevent any violenceagainst Jewish pilgrims. But as the trio made their way back from the site on Friday Hanan said they noticed that instead of fanning out and securing the route, police were nowhere to be found."
"How long does it take a terrorist to run up to you and stab you with a knife? It's a matter of seconds. A soldier can't fight like that and if you're a civilian with a gun it's even worse."
"A police spokesperson claimed no specific information was available on the incident, but dismissed accusations that police were not properly deployed."
How many times does a Jew become a victim because no police were there to prevent or protect or subdue the terrorist? Obviously the arabs knew they could get away with attacking the Jews … they knew there were no policemen nearby.
"Security assessments were made prior to the festival and extra police units were in the area to protect the visitors throughout... both in the Old City, the Western Wall area and the City of David/Shiloach area."
Whoever is in charge of security assessments should be fired for not making sure the area was protected for Jewish worshipers to perform Tashlich. This was no ordinary day, it was Rosh HaShana, the annual day that all of mankind passes before G-d in judgment. A day that all mankind (Arabs, Jews and Jewish policemen) are judged (not by the leftist Israeli supreme court but) by the Supreme Judge of the World.
When will the Israeli establishment reverse the (American imported) leftist ideology that the victim is to be blamed, and the terrorist is to be excused.
The 100-Year-Old Agreement You Need to Know About to Understand What’s Driving the Islamic State
If you do not understand the Sykes-Picot Agreement, Beck said, you cannot fully understand the Islamic State, or why the Israelis and the Palestinians will never reach a two-state solution.
Though many go back to 1948 and the creation of the modern state of Israel when examining the history of Middle Eastern conflicts, Beck said you actually have to go back to 1916 and World War I.
“This is the last time the Arab world had a united Islamic State led by a religious leader: the Ottoman Empire, the caliphate,” Beck began. “The Allies knew the Ottoman Empire could shut down key shipping routes and cripple Britain’s economy, France’s. … They had to neutralize it. So Great Britain sent over an Army officer from Britain, and his name was T.E. Lawrence. There was a movie made about him, a great movie with Peter O’Toole called ‘Lawrence of Arabia.’”
Lawrence was tasked with convincing the Arabs to fight against the Ottoman Empire. After Lawrence promised the Arabs rule over a new united Arab kingdom of greater Syria — which encompassed present day Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and parts of Iraq and Jordan — he succeeded.
“To get to the root of the current Middle East conflict, that is your starting point,” Beck said. “It is at the center of everything that is happening today.”
“The problem here — Great Britain never intended to honor the promises that they made,” Beck continued. “They had used the Arabs in order to protect their own interests. Remember, they needed to get the Ottoman Empire out of the way.”
Sykes-Picot Agreement
“The entire time Lawrence was negotiating with the Arabs, Great Britain, behind everybody’s back, was negotiating with France, and planning how they were going to actually divide up the Middle East after the war,” Beck said. “They needed to make sure there was no united Arab kingdom that would ever get in the way.”
Under the Sykes-Picot agreement, the British and the French drew new boundaries, fracturing the region so, Beck said, “the British and their allies in the region could control it.”
“Remember, the goal was to divide the Arabs, not to unite them, divide them, so they could protect the trade routes,” Beck said. “They didn’t care about the Arabs, they didn’t care about the Jews, they didn’t care about anything. They wanted the trade routes.”
“The Arabs were forced to accept this western European model of the nation-states because they had no choice,” Beck remarked. “Arab resentment grows in the wake of that treaty, Sykes-Picot, where they have divided everything and made new lines. They wanted — the Palestinians, the Arabs — what was promised to them — the rule of greater Syria.”
Archaeologists in Poland Make Horrendous Discovery Underneath the Ground That the Nazis Never Wanted Found
"Hidden underneath the ground at a former Nazi concentration camp on the outskirts of the village of Sobibor, archaeologists reputedly found gas chambers that were intentionally hidden by Nazis after an uprising in 1943. Officials estimate roughly 250,000 Jews were killed in the gas chambers. . . ."
"Another archeologist involved in unearthing the gas chambers, identified as Wojciech Mazurek, offered a bone-chilling description of the concentration camp.
“The extermination of people took place there; murder by smoke from an engine that killed everyone within 15 minutes in these gas chambers, in torment, shouting,” he told Reuters Television. “It is said that … the Nazis even bred geese in order to drown out these shouts so that prisoners could not have heard these shouts, these torments.”
Very few prisoners ever made it out of Sobibor alive. Due to this tragic fact, and because German forces destroyed the camp, there is still much unknown about the infamous site."

The United Nations of nations is not doing such a great job of overseeing peaceful relationships between the nations of the world. Actually they have failed miserably and exponentially (!) in this area, but have succeeded in continually fomenting animosity toward Israel.
So, guess what?
What!
Pope Francis And Shimon Peres Discuss The Establishment Of A ‘United Nations Of Religions’! I didn't know that Francis and Shimon were so close? I mean, several conversations so often. You'd think Francis would have so many important worldly things to do ... but to welcome Shimon, his ole buddy. I wonder if they spoke over a cup of tea?
Wow, next we will have a calamitous United Nations interfering in or trying to melt down all the religions of the world. I wonder just what type of 'rules of enragement' will be hyped to the Jewish Nation about what mitzvos they can or cannot observe, all for the betterment and peacefulness of world-religions?
What will the Erav Ravs and Eisavs and Yishmaelim and non-believers dream up next to attack (G-d) the only people in the world who actually are faithful to the One and Only G-d of the world?
This is such earth shattering news ... On second thought, this just might shatter the earth.
This is what happens when the Jewish leaders of Israel don't stand up for our Jewish sovereignty, don't destroy an enemy that declares it wants to kill all Jews in Israel, and backs down every time Obama and Kerry telephone Netanyahu!
The world goes ballistic when Israel wants to build 2,500 more homes for Jews to live in just outside Jerusalem ...
"Credible information has reached Saudi, British and Australian agencies that two al Qaeda branches – IS in Iraq and Syria and AQAP at its base in Yemen - have wrapped up plans to roll out coordinated terrorist spectaculars around the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. According to debkafile’s counterterrorism sources, they are preparing to strike simultaneously in the Middle East and a West European city. Next, they will go for US targets in the Middle East and Europe." DebkaNews
So Netanyahu caves in to pressure yet again, backs down on building much needed housing for Jews ... So the Jerusalem Municipality, read Mayor Barkat, has authorized 2,500 new housing for Arabs! (not a peep from the nations)
"The houses will be built in the Al-Sawahira Al-Gharbiyya neighborhood near Armon HaNetziv, according to Walla! News, home to some 27,000 Israeli Arabs. The expansion plan was formulated for over a year and a half, with the help of the leftist "Bimakom" (Heb: "In its place") group, which is engaged in promoting "equal rights" in matters of city planning. Nationalist politicians and city councilmen reacted with shock to the announcement, after exactly 2,500 building tenders for Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria were frozen Monday by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu due to US threats of a "covert building freeze."
The Erev Rav (read leftist anti-Jews) are brazenly showing their true intent of destroying chv"s the boundaries of Yerushalayim and Jewish Unity.
RIP OFF FACE GEAR ... ARREST AS TERROR CRIME ... SEND TO PRISON 10 YEARS
FATAH DECLARES OPEN WAR ON JEWS
NO ONE IN NEW YORK WOULD TOLERATE THIS ... WHAT IF SOMEONE FIREBOMBED THE MAYOR'S HOME?
"Firebomb Attack on Historic Jerusalem Home Man hospitalized with burns in attack in City of David area just after Shabbat; latest in recent spate of encouraged by Fatah."
"The recent rise in attacks comes as "moderate" Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction, through it's "military wing" Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigades, recently declared it would be increasing terror attacks against Israel, and likewise announced "open war" on Israel."
Arabs Assault Jewish Kids in North of Israel After Asking 'Are You Jews?'
Nine-year-old tells Arutz Sheva how he and his younger brother were assaulted with rocks in anti-Semitic attack.Naveh (7) and Yehiya (9) Tubul returned from their first day of school on Wednesday at a yeshiva in Nazareth Illit; on their way home, they were accosted by Arab children who asked if they were Jewish and proceeded to hurl rocks at them. Arabs Assault Children with Rocks
This took place in Nazareth Ilit! In Northern Israel.
If the Israeli Government doesn't deal with this terrorism as it should be condemned vocally and with aggressive policing and arresting, we are in for immense and widespread trouble. If one hurls ... catapults ... rocks, rocks that mame and kill ... That one must be classified as a terrorist and end up in prison.
After Nazareth Ilit, what's next? Haifa, Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak, Jerusalem?
"Rock Ambush Injures Baby in Samaria: An 11-month-old baby girl was lightly hurt Wednesday when Arabs threw rocks at the car she was in, at Yitzhar junction in Samaria. A Magen David Adom ... gave the baby first aid ... then took her to Schneider Children's Hospital in Petah Tikva. The ambulance driver said that the rock that hit the baby was the size of a fist and that the fact that the baby did not suffer more severe injuries is “a miracle.” (Rock Ambush)
"Infant Terror Victim Adelle Biton Returns Home Tomorrow: The above attack took place just as it was reported that after a year and a half of intensive operations and treatment, four-and-a-half-year-old Adelle Biton will be returning to her home in the town of Yakir, in Samaria, tomorrow." (Adelle Biton Returns Home)
"A Jewish couple in New York were physically assaulted Monday by an anti-Semitic gang, who then fled the scene in cars flying the Palestinian Authority flag, according to the New York Post. Police sources say two cars and several motorbikes suddenly pulled up next to the couple as they were walking on East 63rd Street near Third Avenue on the Upper East Side, just after 8 p.m. Monday evening. "The attackers then started shouting "anti-Jewish statements,", before launching their assault. ROne of the men struck the woman with a water bottle, and another punched her husband in the side of his head as he intervened to defend her."
To their credit, police have called it a "hate crime." I hope someone tells them to look for those thugs in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Seems the same brandishing of Palestinian flags while riding up 13th Avenue in Boro Park occurred a couple weeks ago. Or maybe they came from lower Flatbush near Ditmas? And then there was the incident in Crown Heights: Hatred Comes to Brooklyn Jews
"If you think there have been more earthquakes than usual this year, you're right. A new study finds there were more than twice as many big earthquakes in the first quarter of 2014 as compared with the average since 1979.
"We have recently experienced a period that has had one of the highest rates of great earthquakes ever recorded," said lead study author Tom Parsons, a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park, California." (continue at link above)
Seismic Shaking
a 5.9-magnitude earthquake striking Virginia Aug. 23, with shaking reported as far away as New York City, Toronto and other eastern cities. LiveScience
Why The Earthquake Near San Francisco Is Just The Start Of The Shaking In California*
HaShem will roar from Zion! The Heavens and earth with shake.
Yeshayahu 13:13
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
"It is being projected that the economic loss from this earthquake will exceed a billion dollars. Since the initial quake, there have been more than 60 aftershocks, and residents are very much hoping that the worst is over. The following is how the damage caused by the earthquake was described by CNN:"
"Everything and everyone in Napa was affected by the quake. My house, along with everybody else's, is a disaster. It looks like somebody broke in and ravaged the place, room by room."
. . ."Anything and everything that could fall, did,"
"… this was only a 6.1 magnitude earthquake … a 7.0 magnitude earthquake would be many times more powerful…"
"If a 9.0 earthquake were to strike along California’s sparsely populated North Coast, it would have a catastrophic ripple effect.
"A giant tsunami created by the quake would wash away coastal towns, destroy U.S. 101 and cause $70 billion in damage over a large swath of the Pacific coast. More than 100 bridges would be lost, power lines toppled and coastal towns isolated. Residents would have as few as 15 minutes notice to flee to higher ground, and as many as 10,000 would perish."
"Something is happening that scientists don't understand, and that is a little scary . . . earthquake activity seems to particularly be increasing in the United States. While the west has been relatively quiet, the number of earthquakes in the central and eastern portions of the nation has quintupled over the past 30 years…"
RESIDENTS ALONG AMERICA'S PACIFIC COAST WOULD HAVE AS FEW AS 15 MINUTES TO FLEE
ISRAELIS IN JERUSALEM HAVE 1.5 MINUTES TO GET TO SHELTER FROM HAMAS ROCKETS
MOTHERS AND CHILDREN LIVING IN THE SOUTH OF ISRAEL HAVE MUCH LESS THAN ONE MINUTE
From Jewish Press: "Arab-rock throwing terrorists attack with the intent of murder by causing injuries to a Jewish driver and forcing him to lose control of his vehicle so that it crashes.
"A resident of the southern Hevron Hills is in serious condition from injuries to the skull after an Arab rock-throwing terrorist hit him in the head shortly after midnight Saturday, forcing his car to overturn.
"The victim’s wife and baby, who were traveling in the car on their way home, were not hurt.
"The terrorist struck between Al Aroob and Carmei Tzur, immediately south of Gush Etzion and one of the favorite launching areas for Arab attacks on Jewish drivers. The IDF routinely stations jeeps in the area, but restraints on dealing with rock-throwers have hampered deterrence.
"The victim was rushed to Hadassah Hospital and is undergoing surgery Sunday morning for internal bleeding and skull fractures. Prayers are being said for the recovery of Yedayah ben Orna."
Since the terrorists (Hamas and Fatah) have declared open war against Jews, Any terrorist that throws Molotov cocktail firebombs should be shot DEAD! Disregard his age, and rip off those face covers so any photogs nearby can get a good picture.
US Post Offices Reportedly Refusing Mail to Israel
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has written to complain to the US Postmaster General, after receiving widespread reports that US post offices around America have been refusing to accept mail to Israel.
In the last several days ADL reports that it has received complaints from Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey, revealing postal customers were incorrectly told that the US Postal Service is not accepting mail for Israel due to Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
"The postal employees have told these individuals that current USPS policy says that mail to Israel cannot be accepted because of the current crisis,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
Foxman added that "only once employees sought clarification from supervisors in Washington did these post offices accept packages and letters to Israel."
Writing to US Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, ADL stated that the phenomenon presumably stems from a misunderstanding by postal workers, who apparently thought the temporary suspension of service to Israel during a 36-hour period in July was a permanent policy change.
That suspension came after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) banned flights to Israel, following a Hamas rocket landing near Ben Gurion International Airport. The ban was later lifted, but not before Hamas declared it a "great victory."
The issue of mail to Israel being denied comes as Wall Street Journal reports on Wednesday night revealed that US President Barack Obama's administration blocked a weapons transfer to Israel during the operation, and further ordered closer scrutiny of future Israeli weapons requests."
The following all comes from The Modern Erev Rav. There are 56 PDF pages to read, if you have the time.
"THE VILNA GAON DESCRIBES AS WELL EACH CATEGORY OF THE EREV RAV
In his book EVEN SHELOMO, the Vilna Gaon, ztk’l wrote that the selection and purification of Israel will not be complete until the Erev Rav separates from Israel completely, because they (Erev Rav) are very attached to the Jews and the Jews learn from their actions.
And the five types of Erev Rav are:
1- Those that create strife and talk Lashon ha Ra
2- Those who pursue their desires like Prostitution, etc.
3- The swindlers who pretend to be Tzaddikim but their hearts are not straight.
4- Those who pursue honor and build great synagogues to make a name for themselves
5- Those who pursue money and strife
(Aderet Eliyahu)
"THE TZADDIK RABBI MECHLE MIZLATCHOV ZT’L REVEALS TO US WONDROUS SECRETS THAT THE SATAN WILL DO BEFORE THE COMING OF THE MASHIACH: THE SATAN WILL MAKE MANY CHASSIDIM, AND THEY WILL INCREASE IN THE WORLD IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS
Once the Holy Tzaddik Rabbi Mechle Mi Zlatchov, (look in the next paragraph where RASHI SAYS how greatly esteemed this Rabbi was in the heavens) fasted many times when he was already old. His students asked him why he was doing this. The Rabbi told them that the Satan wanted to eliminate the Chassidim from the world, and with many devices he caused the accusations and persecutions against the Chassidim to increase...
"...When the Satan saw that his plan was not succeeding, because he had no strength to eliminate them (The Chassidim), he devised a new scheme. He thought that he would also create many Chassidim, and that they would multiply greatly and they would mix with the true Chassidim that separate themselves from the vanities of the world, and the true Chassidim would be mixed with the false Chassidim. And when I saw what the Satan planned to do, I also fasted many times to eliminate this thought from the Satan, because this is the worst possible situation: That there will be many Kosher looking people, deceivers and one will not be able to distinguish who is authentic and who is false."

LONDON - There are signs of the times everywhere. I am an obviously Jewish chassidic fellow, I literally don’t own non-Jewish clothing styles. Everywhere I walk, for the first time in 30 years, I’m getting stares, comments, and aggressive “get in my face” stances. The Muslim population of the UK is everywhere, in large numbers and in the extreme dress of their religion. These Muslims make a point of letting you know you are not welcome. PERSONAL ENCOUNTER
Hamas terrorists have been encouraged to dress up like ordinary Orthodox Jews, according to Palestinian Media Watch, to carry out suicide attacks on Israeli civilians. Hamas repeatedly broadcasted a video encouraging the attacks, as well as the disguise, according to the watchdog group. The Hamas video glorifies a terrorist dressing up in a black hat, black Hassidic coat or bekishe, and tzitzit - and fully decked with long peyot or sidelocks and a beard - before arming himself with explosives.
Erdogan, the rabid dog, has the chutzpah to call us genocidal! The world has turned inside out, with evil dancing in the sunshine. This was truly a war of good versus evil and the evil rejoiced in our bending down to destroy them. It served their purpose and demeaned us in the end, even if we were in the right to attack in self-defense. Next time, and if they have their way, we must only defend, in order to allow a greater Hand of HaShem to prevail. That will be a Kiddush HaShem. We Jews/Israelis must learn to increase our Emuna and Bitachon in HaShem, no longer rely on Obama's regime. We need to elevate our Nation to increase its level of Kedusha, all that are moved to do so. This is the direction we must ascend. Only the Good will prevail over the Evil. In this way, the light of our Nation will elevate the righteous in the world and turn them from darkness. We must collectively behave like a Mashiach. HaShem swore to annihilate Amalek, we must let Him do this.
The following story comes from Lazerbeams, and in Rabbi Brody's special way, it comes to teach us a very timely lesson:
"Iron Dome" of the First Holy Temple
There's an amazing parallel between the Iron Dome missile-defense system and the Three Weeks, particularly Nebuchadnezzar's three-year siege of Jerusalem that led up to the destruction of our First Holy Temple exactly 2600 years ago.
The Ahavat Shalom in Parshat Devarim tells the story of a valiant Hebrew soldier and hero, Avuka ben Gvirta.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, thought that his siege of Jerusalem would last for a few short weeks at most, before he would succeed in destroying Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. Yet, one valiant Hebrew warrior help the Babylonians at bay for three years. His name was Avuka ben Gvirta, and he was every bit as mighty as Samson. He would stand on the walls of Jerusalem and catch the "Babylonian bombs", the giant rocks that the Babylonians would catapult into Jerusalem. With his bare hands, the mighty Avuka would catch the rocks and throw them back at the Babylonian soldiers, killing and wounding many of them. In effect, ...
This woman is some kind of a joke. She makes such a ludicrous statement:
"UN Blasts Israel for Not Sharing Iron Dome with Hamas. UN's human rights official (Navi Pillay) condemns Israel for "war crimes", cites its failure to share Iron Dome with the "governing authority" of Gaza."
What "governing authority"? Qatar or Turkey, Al Qaeda, or Saudi Arabia? Just who is she referring to?
Oh, I guess next she will scold the IS for not sharing it's weapons with Iraq's army?
And, will scold America for NOT giving Iran the 'nuclear soup' it needs to blow up America, "the big Satan".
This is one delusional dangerous lady.
But she is an "excellent representative" of the anti-Semitic UN.
In the beginning of this 'war' my feelings were that this was an opportunity from Shomayim for Israel to retake Aza as part of Israel proper, being the only way to secure the south. Now, Moshe Feiglin states:
"Feiglin does not believe in going after rocket launchers or tunnels. Gaza should be retaken in whole, he said, by directly attacking the Hamas leadership and striving for victory, and doing so according to Jewish law, without sacrificing soldiers in order to save members of the local population, which voted Hamas into power.
Once this is accomplished, the terrorists who fight Israel must be destroyed, he said, and the remaining population should be encouraged to leave through monetary compensation. Surveys show that 80% of Gazans would like to leave the Mediterranean coastal strip and move elsewhere in the world. The minority that decides to stay will be allowed to stay and gradually receive a status similar to the Arabs of eastern Jerusalem."
