Jewish Israel - Simply the Best!

Jewish Israel is simply the best organisation out there taking the fight to the x-tian missionaries, and exposing those in the Jewish camp who are aiding them. They are doing the work that no one else can, and no one else will. Check out this link!

Ehud Barak: Enemy of The Almighty (audio)

Reflections on Israel's morally and mentally defective Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak. A grotesque weasel of a man who won't fight the Arabs, but enjoys spending his time cooking up schemes to destroying life in Judea and Samaria and sending the Yassamnikim capos to beat up Jews. Apparently this traitor thinks that these sadistic thugs are his personal militia to satisfy his blood-lust. Forget about being the Minister of Defense. Why is this pudgy faced, androgynous, sadist not in jail? Barak represents the true face of the "mixed multitude".

Rav Melamed Backs Down! (audio)

A short audio about Rav Melamed's about-face on the issue of religious soldiers protesting in the IDF.


Addendum-Dec. 23, 2oo9: As I expected, Barak is refusing to reinstate R' Melamed's yeshiva into the hesder program. Now what does R' Melamed do? The Torah has been compromised, and his "apology" has gotten him nothing. It doesn't matter whether or not some future minister (or even Barak) changes this decision. The most tragic thing is that R' Melamed has removed himself as a future mouthpiece on any of these provocative issues. This may have been Barak's greatest victory in his continuous war with Judaism.

Rav Melamed Must Resist!

I was dismayed to read on JPost that Rav Melamed is considering signing a declaration along with the heads of other hesder yeshivot, which will state that it is wrong for soldiers to engage in political protest. This would negate everything R' Melamed initially did right when he stood up to Barak. Retracting his position will constitute a tremendous desecration of the Almighty's name, and grant the accursed head of the mixed multitude a victory on the national stage. (No matter how they try to spin it.)

I was concerned the moment I read that R' Melamed was putting the matter into the hands of the leaders of the other Hesder yeshivot. Why would he do that? He was the only one with the courage to say the Halachic truth. The others should be listening to him and signing a letter supporting his (original) position. Instead, these spineless mamlachti leaders are pressuring the lone "voice in the wilderness" to recant his position.

R' Melamed's own words suggest that he is breaking under the pressure. It is clear that he isn't comfortable playing the role of the zealot. Nevertheless, he must understand that he has no choice in the matter. The Rav needs to gird himself in the cloak of zealousness and stand firm. Someone needs to defend the Torah.

R' Melamed's actions will resonate long after this issue is "resolved." Future hesder students will either be motivated by an uncompromising position, and sanctify The Almighty's name, or they will desecrate The Almighty's name and play an insidious role in the unforgivable sin of expelling Jews.

The seventh night of Chanukah is upon us. I hope R' Melamed follows the path of Matityahu.

Chanukah Sameach.
