There are headlines in the Jerusalem Post that make me shudder. Today, Erev Shabbat Devarim, Shabbos Hazon, and according to our calendar Shabbos is also Tisha B’Av. This last fact may be what saves the Jewish People from disaster – perhaps.

G–D created the world to operate in a certain way; and the “progressives” are openly going against G–D. The anti-natural, anti-Torah behavior has taken hold in America, to the point that it was incorporated into their laws (via "contract of marriage" recognized by the laws of the land). And now this mindset has entered the Israeli society. It has been explained that this behavior corrupts and distorts thinking and judgment among these adherents, as well as spreading to the general public, causing gender–confusion among  children, the animal kingdom, and the agricultural land.  Because this behavior is “opposite” the natural creation of the world, they think and see everything in the “opposite”. The definition of opposite is:  "having a position on the other or further side of something; facing something, especially something of the same type.” and "diametrically different; of a contrary kind”. 

Don’t they understand what caused the Great “Flood”?  This behavior causes befuddled thinking; right is wrong, and wrong is right. And this is so evident in the political atmosphere in America. Politicians cannot see the truth clearly and make outlandish comments and induce corruption of behavior. Already there are instances of decisions being made in the vein of CHELM. If this distortion takes greater hold on the Israeli Government, G–D save us.

During an interview with the Jerusalem Post, the interviewee “sees Tisha B’Av as ‘a fitting time to fight sinat chinam [baseless hatred], referring to the reason given for the destruction of the Second Temple. He forgets that the First Temple was destroyed because of:  “[…] three sins committed at the time: idol worship, illicit sexual relations and bloodshed. (Yoma 9b). However, what they see as baseless hatred is not “baseless” and is not hatred. Because their thinking is confused and distorted they do not understand, and cannot understand.

For example, "“I think we've reached a point where we are raising a generation of people who are going to think that if they have anything to say to slightly contradict leftist orthodoxy that they shouldn't say it, and that if they do say it that they should expect these crazy consequences,” [. . .] “I think that's the bigger problem – we're raising a broader generation of people to think that this is normal, and it's not.” arutzsheva

In our Jewish history, each of the incidents of homosexuality met with disaster; entire cities destroyed by a nuclear-like force from Shamayim, plus execution by the hand of righteous Jews against 240,000 guilty. This was the reason (corrupted thinking) during the “Flood in Noah’s time”, in Sodom and Gomorroh, and other times. It is explained (bravely, both by Rabbi Mizrachi and by Rabbi Yehuda Richter that this is a distortion of the highest degree that angers G–D.) What follows is usually disaster.

The Land of Israel most recently has experienced a grouping of earthquakes, that scientists say usually predicts an impending larger event. Does it not give one thoughts as to why Southern Israel is on “FIRE”.

National Strike set for Sunday, Tisha B’Av: Protesters demand Gay couples receive state surrogacy rights. The prevalence of this in the Israeli society is astronomical. Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand 250,000 could be just a fraction of this behavioral choice among the Israelis. I would hope that some are just emotionally confused, seeing this as a progressive ‘modern fad’. They cannot achieve state sponsored legal 

Israeli celebs slam decision by Knesset over surrogacy. Just like in America, the “hollywood’ liberals support this unnatural behavior.

Where will this all end? What has happened to the world’s societies? What has taken hold of the people of Israel? The Arab nations are watching Israel unravel from within. But HaShem promised that we would not be forced AGAIN from our land. Oh, how my heart aches. Is there a disaster impending? We might not be forced from the land but something else could happen.

Righteous Jews please daven for the sanity of Eretz Yisrael.
