Yom Kippur?

what is yom Kippur about?
1.Lady went 900 miles wrong direction. The woman only wanted to go about 90 miles from her hometown of Hainault Erquelinnes, Belgium, to pick up a friend at the Brussels train station. Her GPS device sent her about 900 miles to the south before (during the second day of driving) she realized that something was amiss. It's unclear if she entered the address incorrectly or if the GPS was faulty.Discovery explains that the driver, Sabine Moreau, stopped twice for gas, slept on the side of the road, and "even suffered a minor car accident" along the way. She told El Mundo that she wasn't paying attention.I was distracted, so I kept driving. I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted. Suddenly I appeared in Zagreb and I realized I wasn't in Belgium anymore.The lesson here: If you start seeing road signs in (multiple) foreign languages, pull over. You're probably going the wrong way. Yom Kippur is about making sure our gps coordinates are correct. The word for sin chet means missing the mark.
2. Ever get a virus in your computer or body? Tough to get rid of. Need to to operate efficiently and well. We get viruses of the soul. Yom Kippur is thr antiviral medicine to help us get rid of them.
3. Shipwrecked guy floating on ocean. No fresh water. dies. One survivor makes it. When rescued he was told the last day they had drifted into river with fresh water and the life sustaining force was all around, could have saved other guy if he had reached out and drunk it in.
4. Woman accidentally joins search party looking for herself
A missing woman on vacation in Iceland managed to unwittingly join a search party looking for herself.
Toronto Sun reports that a tourist group traveling by bus to the volcanic Eldgja canyon made a pit stop near the canyon park. The woman in question went inside to freshen up and change her clothes at the rest stop, and when she came back “her busmates didn’t recognize her.”
Word spread among the group of a missing passenger, and the woman didn’t recognize the description of herself. Next thing you know, a 50-person search party was canvassing the area, and the coast guard was mobilizing to deploy a search party of its own.
About 3am, some genius in the group finally figured out that the missing woman was actually in the search party, albeit in different clothes, and the search was called off.
No word on what kind of wardrobe was involved in this woman’s “freshening up.” But her sense of self-image must be way out of whack to join a search party until 3am without even suspecting for a minute that the woman in the description bore some resemblance to herself.

We are in a searxch party with God searching for our selves.Al chet and ashamnu help us find it

"Israel" Got It Wrong

Today Israel is being held to a higher standard. When it is attacked and has the audacity to defend itself, it is termed 'genocidal' by those who are not only quick but also pre-programed to cast the most disingenuous and inflammatory accusations that all too often extend far beyond the parameters of the issues at hand, but drift into the realm of crude anti-Semitism. Running in tandem to the most rancid terminology and vesting them with an element of validation are the likes of Secretary of State John Kerry and former President Carter's use of such freighted terminology as 'apartheid' and imbuing the current occupation of Palestinian territories with the grim misnomer as being akin to "colonization" (Please see "Jimmy Carter, John Kerry and Their Best Friends" 4.28.14)

The ongoing drumbeat seeks to put into question Israel's legitimization, to question the rationale of the Jewish people's presence in what is today the land of Israel, to cast it as a figment postwar contrition, created in response to the cruel events and experiences visited on the Jewish people in the 20th Century. What is progressively overlooked are the deep historical links of the Jewish people to what is now viewed as the Jewish presence in the land called 'Israel.'

Israel is a name understood by all Jews as coupled to their identification. Yet outside the Jewish community its resonance in historic terms is marginal and doesn't begin to encompass the totality of the Jewish historical ties to the history of the Middle East. The name Judea bespeaks clearly of the Jewish people's deep ties to the region itself, ranging from the Kingdom of Judah dating from 934 until 586 BCE, and thereafter to its numerous manifestations through the Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic and Roman periods of domination. The Jewish revolt against the Romans in 132-135 CE failed but Judea has always continued deep in the consciousness of the Jewish people and is an especially epochal segment of Middle Eastern history as it is to Jewish history. The land of Israel is not a contemporary phenomenon but rather has ties that run deep into the core history of what we know and understand as the "Middle East."

The name "Judea" for the nation today known as "Israel" would make these profound and historical ties of the Jewish people to Judea with its storied presence in the history and traditions of the Middle East becomes compellingly clear to all.

Muslim beheads woman here who refuses to convert to Islam but its not terrorism?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man fired from an Oklahoma food processing plant beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday.

Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said police are waiting until Alton Nolen, 30, is conscious to arrest him in Thursday's attack and have asked the FBI to help investigate after co-workers at Vaughan Foods in the south Oklahoma City suburb told authorities that he recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam.

Nolen severed the head of Colleen Hufford, 54, Lewis said.

"Yes, she was beheaded," Lewis told The Associated Press before a Friday news conference.

Lewis said Moore police have asked the FBI to look into the man's background because of the nature of the attack, which follows a series of videotaped beheadings by Islamic State militants.

A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told the AP that while there was indication that Nolen was a Muslim convert and was trying to convert others to Islam, there is so far no connection to terrorism and no evidence of any worrisome travel.

A completely delusional Obama blames Israel, in UN speech. Unbelievable.

A completely delusional Obama blames Israel, in UN speech. Unbelievable.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/09/24/Obama-UN-speech
" After spending fifteen minutes blabbering about the glories and wonders of Islam, even as he decried extremism and sectarianism, Obama proceeded to blame Israel for conflict in the Middle East:

         Leadership will also be necessary to address the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. As bleak as the landscape appears, America will never give up the pursuit of peace. The situation in Iraq, Syria and Libya should cure anyone of the illusion that this conflict is the main source of problems in the region; for far too long, it has been used in part as a way to distract people from problems at home. And the violence engulfing the region today has made too many Israelis ready to abandon the hard work of peace. But let’s be clear: the status quo in the West Bank and Gaza is not sustainable. We cannot afford to turn away from this effort – not when rockets are fired at innocent Israelis, or the lives of so many Palestinian children are taken from us in Gaza. So long as I am President, we will stand up for the principle that Israelis, Palestinians, the region, and the world will be more just with two states living side by side, in peace and security.

The Israelis may not be the “main source of problems in the region,” but by pressuring Israel before the entire world just weeks after Hamas continuously fired rockets into Israel and shielded its own rockets with children, Obama demonstrates his distaste for the Jewish State, and his desire to cast them as a bleeding abscess leading to more violence. The moral equivalence here was stunning, unjustifiable, and purely disgusting."

GREETINGS
• Shanah Tovah (pronounced [ʃaˈna toˈva]) is the traditional greeting on Rosh Hashanah which in Hebrew means "A Good Year" (Hebrew: שנה טובה).[23]
• L'shanah tova tikatevu meaning "May you be inscribed for a good year" is also traditional.[24]
• Ketiva VeChatima Tovah which translates as "A good inscription and sealing [in the Book of Life]" (Hebrew: כתיבה וחתימה טובה).[23]
• The formal Sephardic greeting is Tizku Leshanim Rabbot ("may you merit many years"), to which the answer is Ne'imot VeTovot ("pleasant and good ones"). Less formally, people wish each other "many years" in the local language.
• Shana Tova Umetukah is Hebrew for "A Good and Sweet Year" (Hebrew: שנה טובה ומתוקה).[23][24]
• L'shanah tova tikatevu v'tichatemu meaning "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year".[24][25]
• G’mar chatima tovah meaning "A good final sealing" (Hebrew: גמר חתימה).[23][24]
• On the first night of Rosh Hashanah after the evening prayer, it is the Ashkenazi and Hasidic custom to wish Le'Shana Tova Tikoseiv Veseichoseim (Le'Alter LeChaim Tovim U'Leshalom) which is Hebrew for "May you be inscribed and sealed for a Good Year (Immediately for a Good and Peaceful Life)".

Brisket: according to Gil Marks' Encyclopedia of Jewish Food, the dish began as poverty cuisine. "The often-impoverished Jews of eastern Europe could rarely afford to 'live high on the cow' — to buy the more tender cuts from the rib and chuck. [So] they learned how to make do with the cheaper, less desirable parts," he writes.
chicken soup: The 12th-century Jewish physician, Maimonides, started the chicken soup-as-medicine trend when, in his book, On the Cause of Symptoms, he recommended the broth of hens and other fowl to "neutralize body constitution." According to Maimonides, boiled chicken soup also played a role in curing leprosy and asthma, and--as a Jewish grandmother might put it--"putting some meat on your bones."
Over time as people continued to cook them, dishes like brisket became revered in their own right, making them traditional and desirable staples of the holiday table.
Carrots, meren in Yiddish, similar to mer (Yiddish for more).
We ask G-d to increase our merits as well as to nullify
negative decrees directed at us (carrot in Hebrew is gezer,
similar to gzeiros (decrees).
Round Challah Loaves
Circular challahs represent unending cycle of life and the prayer that another year round will be granted. From another view the round breads look like a royal crown, a reminder of the coronation of God as Ruler on Rosh Hashanah.
There’s a tradition that back in the days before the Exodus, the Egyptian taskmasters ate multi-cornered bread evincing their belief in many gods. Jews formed round breads to display their defiant belief in one indivisible God. (Project Genesis)
Apples Dipped in Honey
Why have apples become the Rosh Hashanah symbol?
There’s a pragmatic reason. Even in the frigid Eastern European countries, where Ashkenazic traditions formed, apples are ripe for the picking around this time of year.
Then there are reasons that can enrich the eating experience. According to Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf, author of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur Survival Kit (Levitathan Press, 1992), an apple tree grows differently than other fruit trees which sprout leaves to shade their new fruits. Apples make their way into the world without leafy protection, just like Jews who practice their beliefs even though being different leaves Jews vulnerable to prejudice.
Take a look in Genesis 27. It is there that Jacob claims the prized firstborn blessing that his father Isaac had intended for Esau. Jacob managed to do this by disguising himself as Esau and his ruse was helped along by Isaac’s poor eyesight.
But Isaac suspected that something wasn’t right. His first words to Jacob are “Who are you, my son?” What gave Jacob away? His voice and his smell, says the Midrash, writings on the underlying meaning of the Torah narrative. Esau smelled of blood of the hunt. Jacob exuded the scent of a field, an apple field according to some commentators. In the end, Jacob got the blessings of wealth and power he set out to get. Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, the Vilna Gaon (genius), (1720-1797), wrote that we eat apples to express our hope that we too will receive these blessings in the year to come.
What to do
After the challah has been dipped in honey, take an apple in hand. Say the blessing over the apple:
Barukh Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melekh HaOlam boray peh-ree hah-aytz.
We bless you Eternal God Sovereign of the World who created the fruit of the tree.
Then say the short prayer that ties the honey-dipped apple to the wish for a sweet new year.
short prayer that ties the honey-dipped apple to the wish for a sweet new year
Yehi ratzon Adonai Eloheinu sheh-tee-cha-daysh ah-lay-nu shana tovah u’meh-tu-kah.
May it be your will Eternal God that we are renewed for a year that is good and sweet.
Say Nuts to Nuts
Some Jews avoid eating nuts on Rosh Hashanah because the Hebrew word for nut is “eh-goze” which has the same numerical values as “chet,” meaning sin. On the Day of Judgment, the thinking goes, its worthwhile to avoid all shades of sin even numerical ones.
Black-Eyed Peas
Egyptian Jews and others eat black-eyed peas because they are called Rubya, related to the Hebrew word rov meaning a lot, many. Black-eyed pea dishes, such as Hoppin’ Jack, are traditional New Year’s eats in the American Southeast. One wonders if the slave trade had something to do the migration this dish.
Couscous with Seven Vegetables
The many tiny couscous grains represent a wish for a year with blessings aplenty. Tossing seven different vegetables plays on the number seven, which represents goodness in the natural order. Seven earns this distinction because God created the world in seven days.
Honey, Sugar or Salt on the Challah
Challah dipped in honey is one of the joys of an Ashkenazic Rosh Hashanah feast. Sticky sweet honey represents the wish for a sweet new year. The bees who made the honey impart another lesson. Bees are bring the sweetness of honey, the bounty of pollination, and the pain of a sting. We, too, can bring about joy, productivity or pain. It’s our choice.
Some Sephardic Jews deliberately avoid honey because it was a fouling agent if added to the Temple incense. Challah is dipped into sugar instead. Jews who observe this sugar custom might dip their bread three times in sugar and three times in salt. Throughout the year, challah is dipped into salt in remembrance of the sacrifices that had salt sprinkled on them.
To Fish or Not to Fish
Fish multiply in great number. They never sleep. They swim in water. Believe it or not these are reasons why they are eaten by some Jews on Rosh Hashanah. We hope the year will be one of plenty, just as fish are extremely fruitful. Just as fish never sleep, we hope to maintain a constant awareness of our mission in life and to remain cognizant of God’s expectations at all times. Since fish are underwater the evil eye cannot penetrate the depths, and we wish to be free of any negative wishes.
Yet there are some Jews, among them certain Sephardim, who will not eat fish on Rosh Hashanah. In Hebrew fish is “dag” and that sounds too close to “da’ahgah,” worry, for comfort.
Animal Heads
When Jews were closer to agriculture and to the ways of the marketplace butcher, the following custom probably didn’t sound as nauseating. With the prayer “May it be God’s will that we will be the head and not the tail,” Jews kept a sheep, rooster, or a fish head on the Rosh Hashanah table.
Gourds
Rabbi Abaye mentioned gourd eating in his list of New Year’s symbolic foods because of two puns that may be made on the gourd’s Hebrew name “k’rah.” The word means “read out, proclaim” as in “May our merits be proclaimed before God.” K’rah also means “rip up” as in “May harsh decrees be torn.”
The two meanings are combined in the following short prayer:
May it be your will Eternal God that our harsh decrees are torn up and our merits are proclaimed before You.
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu she’yee-korah g’zar dee’nay-nu v’yee-kar-oo l’fah-necha zechu-yo-tay-nu.
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is known as “rubia,” increase, and is eaten with the short prayer:
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu sheh’yirbu ze’chu-yo-taynu.
May it be your will Eternal God that our merits increase.”
Leeks or Cabbage
These vegetables are known as karsi, related to the word karet, to cut off or destroy.
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu sheh’yee-kar-tu soh-nay-nu.
May it be your will Eternal God that our enemies will be cut off.
Beets
Beets are known as “silka,” related to the word “siluk,” meaning removal. The adversaries referred to in the prayer before eating the beet are the spiritual roadblocks created by the past year’s missteps that must be removed before a sweet New Year is granted.
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu sheh-ye’stal-ku oy-vay-nu
May it be your will Eternal God that our adversaries will be removed.
Dates
Dates are known as “tamri” is related to the word “tamri,” meaning consume or finish. This food is similar to the beets and leeks in that it is eaten with the intent that all enemies will end their detrimental wrath.
Yehi ratzon milfanecha Adonai Eloheinu sheh-yee-tahm’u oy-vay-nu.
May it be your will Eternal God that our enemies will be finished.

New York Times and Metpltn Opera continue their deep anti Semitism

New York Times and Metpltn Opera continue their deep anti Semitism

Sept. 21, 2014
Monday September 22 marks the beginning of New York’s Metropolitan Opera season, a season slated to include production of “The Death of Klinghoffer,” the notorious opera romanticizing terrorists who murdered Leon Klinghoffer and caricaturing Jews in bigoted language. As Judea Pearl, father of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, wrote in a statement to be read at a protest rally against the opera in front of the Met that same day:

    I submit to you that there has never been a crime in human history lacking grievance and motivation. The 9/11 lunatics had profound motivations, and the murderers of my son, Daniel Pearl, had very compelling "grievances.”

    In the past few weeks we have seen with our own eyes that Hamas and ISIS have grievances, too and, they, too, are lining up for operatic productions with the Met.

    Yet civilized society, from the time of our caveman ancestors, has learned to protect itself by codifying right from wrong, separating the holy from the profane, distinguishing that which deserves the sound of orchestras from that which deserves our unconditional revulsion. The Met has smeared this distinction and thus betrayed their contract with society.

Not surprisingly, The New York Times has joined in smearing the distinction between right and wrong, endorsing the Klinghoffer production in an editorial entitled “The Met Opera Stands Firm: ‘The Death of Klinghoffer’ Must Go On” (September 19, 2014)

Unmentioned in the endorsement of the opera are anti-Semitic lyrics, including these sung by one of the terrorist hijackers: "Wherever poor men—Are gathered they can—Find Jews getting fat—You know how to cheat—The simple, exploit—The virgin, pollute—Where you have exploited—Defame those you cheated—And break your own law—With idolatry." Nowhere in the opera are Arabs condemned or ridiculed as a group as Jews are here.

New York Times coverage of Israel continuously reflects the same lack of a moral compass regarding the onslaught of hatred and violence against the Jewish state and neglects the journalistic responsibility to report the full, unvarnished truth about that aggression. Indeed, The Times has a lamentable history of distorting the picture when the victims are Jews, as it did by its own admission in failing to cover the Holocaust fully and accurately.

Why is obama ignoring his generals?

Why is Obama ignoring his generals?
It is simple. Obama has no desire to really fight Isis but politics make him appear to do something so he will do as little as possible. He WANTS Jihad to spread. There is just too much evidence to fully deny this.
FRom World jewish Digest: " U.S. President Obama and his generals at the Pentagon have often disagreed on strategies when it comes to American foreign policy. The latest sign of tension is about how to fight the Islamic State.

A Washington Post report noted U.S. military leaders have publicly spoken out against the president’s plan against the Islamic State militant group. While Obama has promised not to deploy ground combat troops, Pentagon officials say this option should not be taken off the table.

"Half-hearted or tentative efforts, or airstrikes alone, can backfire on us and actually strengthen our foes’ credibility," said Ret. Marine Gen James Mattis in the Post report. "We may not wish to reassure our enemies in advance that they will not see American boots on the ground."

The U.S. military has thus far launched airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq and has approved a plan to expand the strikes into Syria, but a target date has not been announced.

This week, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly backed Obama's plan to train and arm Syrian rebels to help fight the jihadist Islamic State. But after the fall midterm break and Congress reconvenes, lawmakers will come back to Washington to debate the issue of a broader authorization of military force in Syria."

From me: Obama helps massive spread of Islamic jihad under his watch-see details below

NEWEST: Obam covering up domestic jihad murder again.
Flourishing of Jihad 2009 until now under Obama, much with his direct aid. You decide whether its purposeful on his part, or incompetence, or horrible consequences of wrongheaded world view.
1.Libya: he helped push out Quaddafi, and now Libya in hands of various jihad groups. Egypt is very worried about them.
2.Iraq: pulled out after war was won opening way for ISIS
3.Syria: drew red lines and then ignored them when breached and now Isis controls half
4.Hamas: secret talks with this terrorist group while they toss missiles daily at Israel for 6 months and continued to fund PA even after the have unity government with Hamas. Secret talks with them.
5. Iran: weakened sanctions consistently and now extends talks while they move forward tried to overthrow Mubarak and support Moslem Brotherhood, gave them 1.5 billion and sophisticated weapons
6. Turkey Obama’s favorite foreign leader calls Israelis Nazis It is also no surprise that Obama would name this vicious Jew-hater as his closest friend among world leaders. “Erdogan calls Israel more barbaric than Hitler,” Times of Israel, July 19, 2014
7. He backed Morsi in Egypt, head of Moslem Brotherhood who said Jews are descended from pigs, gave them 1.5 billion and f16s.
8. Iron Dome vs Terrorist funding Follow the money: each round of Iron Dome funding, Obama has tried to cut substantially. Congress overruled him. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/house-restores-funding-for-israeli-missile-defense/ His response? $47 more for Hamas to rebuild, $500 million for Syrian rebels (which will go straight to Isis, $11 billion arms deal with Qatar

19. He and Hillary lied and lied about 9-11 Alquida attack in benghazzi being caused by Youtube video, to continue their lying narrative that alquida was vanquished to try and assist his 2012 election,
20. Fort Hood shooter business card says “soldier of Allah” and he shouts alla akbar before he kills 13 fellow soldiers, Obama calls it ‘workplace violence”.
21. Obama demands scrubbing word jihad from documents on terror and demands CIA Director scrub word Islamist before the word “terrorists” from Benghazi talking points
22. Fight vs Isis: Steve Emerson: “our allies that the administration praises – Turkey and Qatar – are sabotaging our campaign against ISIS while the President has basically angered good allies lie Egypt, which really could be participating in a very meaningful way because it is significantly and ideologically against the Muslim Brotherhood which [ISIS] has in its origins.."

Terrorism expert summarizes this: “Steve Emerson Terrorism expert
“we have an administration that's in bed with these radical Islamic groups who pretend to be moderate or civil rights groups that have basically curtailed the ability of the FBI, ICE agents, to monitor, do investigations, or even prosecutors. Prosecutors now have to petition the Department of Justice to use the word "jihad" in indictments. This shows you the extent to which this administration has neutered the whole campaign to stop jihadism and basically interfere, Monica, with the ability of FBI agents to do their job...,the FBI, city and state law enforcement and now the border patrol with essentially an open border with god knows what kind of terrorists and Islamists are coming over the southern border, how they have really been hamstrung by regulations and political correctness restricting their ability to monitor the Islamic communities and the border...this administration has essentially embraced and legitimized the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the godfather and parent of all Sunni terrorist groups, including Hamas, including Islamic Jihad, and Al Qaeda. And for the administration to make a distinction between Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood is simply murderous. And that's what they've done. “

terrorist's youth group on our campuses

The student terrorists college youth groups, called Muslim Student Assciation and Students for Justice in Palestine are giving us a Rosh Hashanah present,  Protest Anti-Semitic "Int'l Day of Action on College Campuses"Tuesday, September 23rd - on the eve of the Jewish New Year.
Anyone working with them or supporting them are aiding and abetting terrorism and death to Jews and the free world.

Muslim Student association and Students for Justice in Palestine is an EVIL, Monstrous group. Fight them everywhere,

Muslim Student Association are terrorist supporters. With nearly 600 chapters -- including roughly 150 affiliated chapters -- located in the United States and Canada,the Muslim Students Association (MSA) is the most visible and influential Islamic student organization in North America. As reflected in the extensive information presented in this dossier, MSA has gained legitimacy on American campuses as a benevolent collegiate faith club; however, under this moderate veneer MSA advances a different agenda among impressionable college students. Through conferences and events, publications, websites and other activities, MSA has disseminated and promoted militant Islamic ideologies on college and universitycampuses throughout North America. This dossier is on MSA-National as well as the numerous chapters of MSA formally affiliated with MSA-National.
 MSA’S ROOTS IN THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
The Muslim Students Association (MSA) of the United States and Canada was incorporated in January 1963, when members of the Muslim Brotherhood came together at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with the goal of “spreading Islam as students in North America.”
The Moral Psychosis of Demonstrating in Support of Hamas
"That pro-Palestinian student activists, those who purport to be motivated by a desire to bring “justice” to the Middle East, could publicly call for the renewed slaughter of Jews in the name of Palestinian self-determination demonstrates quite clearly how ideologically debased the human rights movement has become. Activists on and off U.S. campuses, who never have to face a physical threat more serious than getting jostled while waiting in line for a latte at Starbucks, are quick to denounce Israel’s very real existential threats and the necessity of the Jewish state to take counter measures to thwart terrorism."

Israeli Reality Check for Liberal Critics

Jonathan S. Tobin | @tobincommentary 09.15.2014 - 3:40 PM

Israel’s American critics viewed the latest conflict in Gaza as more evidence of how the Jewish state needs to be saved from itself. That is particularly true of Jewish groups like the left-wing lobby J Street whose attacks on the Netanyahu government and support for Obama administration pressure on Israel have continued even as anti-Zionist and pro-BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction) efforts have intensified. But the latest opinion poll from Israel illustrates yet again just how out of touch these liberal know-it-alls are with reality as seen by the majority of Israelis.

A new opinion poll from Israel’s Channel 10 provides sobering results for those who continue to hope that Israelis will listen to them and both push for a new prime minister and resolve to begin leaving the West Bank. While many, if not most Americans, actually believe the press when they call Netanyahu a “hard-liner,” the perception of his conduct at home is very different. Far from convincing Israel to start ceding more territory to the Palestinians, after their 50-day ordeal during the summer as thousands of rockets fell on their heads and a new threat of terror tunnels made them feel even less safe, more Israelis seem inclined to view Netanyahu as not tough enough.
Netanyahu’s personal approval ratings dropped once the fighting ended and many of his countrymen were disappointed with his failure to end the threat from Hamas-run Gaza once and for all. These latest numbers confirm that the big winner if elections were to be held today would be the prime minister’s most strident critic on the right. Even more discouraging for the “save it from itself” crowd is the fact that the right-wing parties as a whole are gaining strength while those on the left are dropping even lower in public esteem.
The Channel 10 poll shows that the public would give Netanyahu’s Likud Party 26 seats in a new Knesset. That’s less than the 31 it got when it ran on a joint ticket in 2013 with Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beytenu Party. But that right-wing rival would get 14, representing a gain of four for the two natural coalition partners. But the big winner would be Naftali Bennett’s Jewish Home Party which has been highly critical of what it considers to be Netanyahu’s timid approach to Gaza and negotiations with the Palestinians. It would get 16 in a new election, an increase of four over their current total.
While these three men are more or less continually at each other’s throats, it must be understood that the combination of the three—which represent the core of any center-right government—would stand at 56, almost enough for them to govern on their own and reminiscent of the old days of Labor Party dominance when the left ruled the country for its first three decades. That would give Netanyahu the option of putting together a right-wing government with the religious parties that would, however fractious its character, dominate the Knesset.
At the same time, the biggest losers would be the parties that Israel’s critics are counting on to form the core of a new “pro-peace” Cabinet. The centrist Yesh Atid Party led by current Finance Minister Yair Lapid is the big loser in the poll, going down to only 8 seats from its current 19. That leaves any potential center-left coalition led by Labor, which went down to 13 from its current 15 seats, hopelessly short of any sort of majority. Even if you added in the seats that may be won by a new party focused on economics led by former Likud minister Moshe Kahlon to the total of all the left-wing, centrist, and Arab parties, it adds up to only 49. And that is an inconceivable coalition since in all likelihood Kahlon and his supporters would join any Cabinet led by Netanyahu.
What does this mean?
The first conclusion is that although anything can happen in the two or three years between now and the next election, barring some sort of spectacular and currently unforeseen collapse, Netanyahu will almost certainly lead the next Israeli government.
Second, Lapid’s party appears fated to follow that of every other centrist party in Israeli political history. Voters are always hungry for alternatives to the old left and right choices but even though circumstances occasionally thrust a centrist to the fore, they are inevitably, as Lapid has been, marginalized by the continued centrality of war and peace issues on which they cannot compete. Lapid also made the same mistake of all his predecessors (including his father) of joining a government and thus became both tarnished and diminished by the hard choices any Cabinet must make on economics or peace. These poll numbers also lessen Lapid’s leverage in the current budget dispute he’s been waging with Netanyahu.
Third, and most importantly, these numbers reflect the fact that, unlike most liberal Jews–or most Americans for that matter–Israelis have been paying attention to events in the region. They know the continued rule of Hamas over Gaza and the Islamists’ increased popularity among Palestinians at the expense of the supposedly more moderate Fatah and Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas renders any idea of withdrawing from the West Bank, as was done in Gaza, an impossibility. No sane Israeli leader would risk turning that far larger and more strategic territory into another Gaza.
This will, no doubt, heighten the frustrations of American left-wingers about Israel. But their anger tells us more about them and their refusal to think seriously about what Palestinians have done and believe than it does about what Israel should do. Israelis want peace as much if not more than American liberals. But they understand that dreams of peace are meaningless to Hamas and Palestinian rejectionists. Those who claim to be pro-Israel as well as pro-peace need to come to terms with the fact that the people who understand their country’s dilemmas far better than they could are still firmly rejecting their advice.

Maimonides, LBJ and the War on Poverty

Maimonides (Laws of Gifts to the Poor in the Mishneh Torah) states the goal of welfare programs is to create independence. LBJ set that as the goal for the War on Poverty 60 years ago. But it has done the OPPOSITE.  Liberals claim that the War on Poverty has failed because we didn’t spend enough money. Their answer is just to spend more. But the facts show otherwise.
Since its beginning, U.S. taxpayers have spent $22 trillion on Johnson’s War on Poverty (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusting for inflation, that’s three times more than was spent on all military wars since the American Revolution.
One third of the U.S. population received aid from at least one welfare program at an average cost of $9,000 per recipient in 2013.
The federal government currently runs more than 80 means-tested welfare programs. These programs provide cash, food, housing and medical care to low-income Americans. Federal and state spending on these programs last year was $943 billion. (These figures do not include Social Security, Medicare, or Unemployment Insurance.)
Over 100 million people, about one third of the U.S. population, received aid from at least one welfare program at an average cost of $9,000 per recipient in 2013. If converted into cash, current means-tested spending is five times the amount needed to eliminate all poverty in the U.S.
But today the Census will almost certainly proclaim that around 14 percent of Americans are still poor. The present poverty rate is almost exactly the same as it was in 1967 a few years after the War on Poverty started. Census data actually shows that poverty has gotten worse over the last 40 years.
How is this possible? How can the taxpayers spend $22 trillion on welfare while poverty gets worse?
According to government surveys, the typical family that Census identifies as poor has air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and a computer in his home. Forty percent have a wide screen HDTV and another 40 percent have internet access. Three quarters of the poor own a car and roughly a third have two or more cars. (These numbers are not the result of the current bad economy pushing middle class families into poverty; instead, they reflect a steady improvement in living conditions among the poor for many decades.)

The intake of protein, vitamins and minerals by poor children is virtually identical with upper middle class kids. According to surveys by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the overwhelming majority of poor people report they were not hungry even for a single day during the prior year.

We can be grateful that the living standards of all Americans, including the poor, have risen in the past half century, but the War on Poverty has not succeeded according to Johnson’s original goal. Johnson’s aim was not to prop up living standards by making more and more people dependent on an ever larger welfare state. Instead, Johnson sought to increase self-sufficiency, the ability of a family to support itself out of poverty without dependence on welfare aid. Johnson asserted that the War on Poverty would actually shrink the welfare rolls and transform the poor from “taxeaters” into “taxpayers.”
Judged by that standard, the War on Poverty has been a colossal flop. The welfare state has undermined self-sufficiency by discouraging work and penalizing marriage. When the War on Poverty began seven percent of children were born outside marriage. Today, 42 percent of children are. By eroding marriage, the welfare state has made many Americans less capable of self-support than they were when the War on Poverty began.

President Obama plans to spend $13 trillion dollars on means-tested welfare over the next decade. Most of this spending will flow through traditional welfare programs that discourage the keys to self-sufficiency: work and marriage.
Rather than doubling down on the mistakes of the past, we should restructure the welfare state around Johnson’s original goal: increasing Americans capacity for self-support. Welfare should no longer be a one way hand out; able-bodied recipients of cash, food and housing should be required to work or prepare for work as condition of receiving aid. Welfare’s penalties against marriage should be reduced. By returning to the original vision of aiding the poor to aid themselves, we can begin, in Johnson’s words, to “replace their despair with opportunity.” http://dailysignal.com/2014/09/16/war-poverty-colossal-flop/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=morningbell&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRonvKTNZKXonjHpfsX56e8tX661lMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4DT8ZrI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFQrLBMa1ozrgOWxU%3D

Don't forget Iran

In a major foreign policy address, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned against cooperation with Shiite Iran in the fight against the Islamic State.
While praising the U.S. for leading an international coalition against extremist terror groups, Netanyahu reminded the world of Iran and its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons, saying this would cause the "ultimate terror."
"I think it's crucial not to let the fight against Sunni extremism make us forget the danger of Shiite extremism. They are two sides of the same coin. We don't have to strengthen one to weaken the other. My policy is: Weaken both and most importantly, don't allow any of them to get weapons of mass destruction," Netanyahu said, according to a report in Israel Hayom.
Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz, reiterating Israel's worry the U.S. focus on ISIS will distract it from more serious threats, was quoted as saying the Islamic State "is a five-year problem. A nuclear Iran is a 50-year problem ... with far greater impact."
Speaking Sept. 11 at an international anti-terrorism conference hosted by the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, Netanyahu also said Israel is "playing our part" in U.S. President Obama's offensive against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, including action which he said may not be made public.

On the 35th anniversary of his death Thursday, Tablet magazine highlighted something about Elvis Presley that even his die-hard fans probably don’t know: he’s Jewish!
According to Talmudic law, whereby one is considered a Jew by matrilineal descent, then Elvis Aron Presley is indeed a member of the tribe by virtue of his mother.
Tablet points out that when Elvis’ eligibility to be nominated to the Jewish American Hall of Fame was highlighted along with other Jewish celebrities, the organization cited historian and biographer Elaine Dundy’s book “Elvis and Gladys” as evidence of the rock legend’s Jewish heritage:

“…Nancy Burdine was married to Abner Tackett (Elvis’ great great maternal grandmother). Nancy was of particular interest to Gladys for her Jewish heritage, often remembering Nancy’s sons for their Jewish names Sidney and Jerome. Nancy and Abner had a daughter Martha who married White Mansell. The daughter which they named Octavia, nick-named Doll, who was Elvis’ maternal grandmother.

“…Doll and Robert had nine children. Gladys Love was the fifth daughter born followed by 3 more brothers and one sister. After his mother died, Elvis personally sought to design his beloved mother’s gravesite which included a Star of David on Gladys Love Presley’s tombstone. The decision was made by him in honor of his Jewish heritage. Something his mother was proud of and acknowledged to Elvis at a very early age.”

Elvis reportedly paid tribute to his heritage on several occasions; donning a “Chai” necklace during a 1972 concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, and  having a Star of David engraved on his mother’s headstone following her passing in 1959. Elvis also has his fair share of Jewish impersonators, including one Orthodox Jew named Dan Hartal, who goes by the moniker “Schmelvis.”

ISIS or ISIL? There is a BIG difference!

I posted this peculiarity last week. It has become increasingly conspicuous, annoying even, that while the rest of the world refers to the cockroaches beheading innocent people, including children, across Syria and Iraq, as ISIS, or IS, King Hussein, and the rest of his administration insist on referring to the lice-ridden scumbags as ISIL.
“Tomaytoes/tomahtoes?” Hmmmmmm, I don’t think so. If you look closely at the literal, geographical difference between the two acronyms, it appears that there is much more to the story.
ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which includes only territory within the clear borders of those two sovereign countries.

ISIL is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The “Levant” includes Israel.
Ostensibly, anyone referring to this nest of rats as ISIL, and only as ISIL, while the rest of the civilized world refers to them as ISIS, is denying the existence of Israel, a point much harder to support had not that talking point made its way to every official mouthpiece of every agency and department within the federal government.

Muslim Student groups founded by terrorists

Muslim Student association and Students for Justice in Palestine is an EVIL, Monstrous group. Fight them everywhere,

Muslim Student Association are terrorist supporters. With nearly 600 chapters -- including roughly 150 affiliated chapters -- located in the United States and Canada,the Muslim Students Association (MSA) is the most visible and influential Islamic student organization in North America. As reflected in the extensive information presented in this dossier, MSA has gained legitimacy on American campuses as a benevolent collegiate faith club; however, under this moderate veneer MSA advances a different agenda among impressionable college students. Through conferences and events, publications, websites and other activities, MSA has disseminated and promoted militant Islamic ideologies on college and universitycampuses throughout North America. This dossier is on MSA-National as well as the numerous chapters of MSA formally affiliated with MSA-National.

 MSA’S ROOTS IN THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

The Muslim Students Association (MSA) of the United States and Canada was incorporated in January 1963, when members of the Muslim Brotherhood came together at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with the goal of “spreading Islam as students in North America.”

The Moral Psychosis of Demonstrating in Support of Hamas

"That pro-Palestinian student activists, those who purport to be motivated by a desire to bring “justice” to the Middle East, could publicly call for the renewed slaughter of Jews in the name of Palestinian self-determination demonstrates quite clearly how ideologically debased the human rights movement has become. Activists on and off U.S. campuses, who never have to face a physical threat more serious than getting jostled while waiting in line for a latte at Starbucks, are quick to denounce Israel’s very real existential threats and the necessity of the Jewish state to take counter measures to thwart terrorism."

ISIS is not Islamic?

Bernard Lewis, a leading American authority of Islam, notes: 'it is surely presumptuous for those who are not Muslims to say what is orthodox and what is heretical in Islam' (That Obama was born and raised a Muslim has no relevance here, for he left the faith and cannot pronounce on it.)" ('ISIS Is Not Islamic?,' Daniel Pipes.org, September 10, 2014).

ZOA National President Morton Klein said, "President Obama is making the absurd, untenable claim that all terrorism, carried out by avowedly Muslim groups, acting explicitly in the name of their religion, and citing Islamic scripture and sources, are somehow not Muslim.

"Has President Obama not noticed that Hamas, a U.S.- and E.U.-listed terrorist organization, calls in its Charter for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews? Does he not know that Hamas is an avowedly Muslim organization, indeed, part of the Muslim Brotherhood? That it cites in support of its program authoritative Islamic sources, like the hadith which says, 'The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.'

"Has he not noticed that other radical Muslim groups call for terrorism and murdering non-believers? Does not Al-Qaeda call for murdering civilians, even Muslims who oppose it? Did Al-Qaeda not carry out attacks on Muslims in Jordan in 2005, for example? Is Al-Qaeda not an avowedly Muslim organization?

"Did not Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the avowedly Shia Muslim terrorist group Hizballah, not say in 2002: "if they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide"? 

"This statement by President Obama is shockingly inaccurate but not surprising. The Obama Administration has a long record of denying any Islamic connection between jihadist terrorism and the religion of Islam.
