It’s Not Some “War on Aza.” It Is a 7-Front War Against Israel!

A cogent remark by Yoav Gallant:

“We are in a multi-front war. We are being attacked from seven fronts — Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), Iraq, Yemen and Iran,” he said. “We have already responded and acted on six of those fronts.”

“Elder of Ziyon” amplifies:

Israel’s enemies want to frame this as a David vs. Goliath of huge Israel bombing helpless innocent Gazans, and the world is buying into this false framing. Every time an official says they do not want the Gaza war to “spread” to other theatres like Lebanon they are showing that Iran’s framing is working. Nothing about Gaza compelled Hezbollah, Syria, Iraqi groups and the Houthis to attack different parts of Israel.
…
They want to pretend it is “Gaza under attack,” not “Israel under attack,” even though the war started with an attack on Israel and it continues with multiple, multi-front and continuous attacks on Israel.

Rabbi Asher Weiss Tells [R’ Bunim Shreiber?]: YOU’RE FIRED!

Quoting VIN News (with a recording):

PASSAIC (VINnews) — Rav Asher Weiss shlit”a, one of the Gedolei Eretz Yisrael, spoke in Passaic on Monday. One fundamental and timely topic he addressed was Charedi yeshivos and others in the yeshiva community davening for soldiers. The Rav, not surprisingly, was extremely in favor, and seemed to feel that it’s not even a question, as it is a basic expression of Ahavas Yisrael.

In regards to the fact that Rabbi Weiss’ own Kollel prays for the names of soldiers, he was asked about certain Roshei Yeshiva who are worried that bochurim will think they are “glorifying” Israeli soldiers and be motivated to join the army.

Rabbi Weiss was steadfast and firmly against that mindset, and completely dismissed it.

He said, “That is a very sad state of affairs if we are afraid that if boys daven for soldiers, they may join the army.”

He continued, “[If that is the case], the Roshei Yeshiva should go home and pass the mantle to others. I totally disagree [with it].

Rabbi Weiss went further. “Rav Chaim Shmulevitz and Rav Chatzkel Levenstein were yeshivishe guys… I was very close with Rav Shach. Officers used to come on a steady basis to visit Ponevezh, Rav Shach used to always invite them to his office. Every time, he said ‘We have hakaras hatov, you are safeguarding the country and we are learning Torah in your merit.

חזרה משנת ה’טפטופים’ – העושה עצמו עז הזאבים אוכלים אותו

עדיין מדברים בסגנון אנטי-ציוני הכופר בישועת השם, על אף כל הנסים בדורנו, על “טפטוף”, ירי “מדוד וסמלי” של חיזבאללה לכיוון ישראל, כהבעת הזדהות מסוימת עם עזה, מבלי להיגרר למערכה גדולה. תחילת נפילה ניסה (סוטה מ”ד ב’).

שוב, “הכלת\ניהול הסכסוך”. שוב, “הם מורתעים”. שוב, “א”א בלי עזרת מצרים [קרי: אמריקה]”. המשך המלחמה בכל מי שבא לנצח או אפי’ להגן על יהודים.

הברברים הללו “לא למדו דבר ולא שכחו דבר”!

והרי יש אנשים ב”הנהגה” של מדינת היהודים המעימידם פנים כמאמינים ובוטחים בהשם ובישועתו. איזה חילול השם!

What Is the Talmud? Best Definition Ever!

From “My Year Inside Radical Islam: A Memoir” p. 182-183 (the story of an assimilated Jew who became a radical Mohamedan for a while):

Let’s ignore soccer, Kissinger, and the mitzva of taking interest from non-Jews.

As I recall from the Chazon Ish (16:8), men may uncover their calves but not their thighs. With women, there is added the modesty obligation of covering calves, as well: שוק באשה ערוה. The constant distortion of halacha by the liars of “Beis Din Mishmar Hatorah”, on the other hand, is definitely a plot to ruin everything.

By the way, isn’t it funny how anti-Jewish claims usually boil down to some accusation of us being too influenced by them? Self-defeating!

שאלה: מה יהיה ‘פרק התהלים של הרבי’ בעוד שלושים שנה? – צ”ע

חסידי חב”ד-ליובאוויטש נוהגים לומר פרק תהלים מיוחד כנגד מספר שני חיי הרבי שלהם (ש”לא מת” כידוע). כעת אוחזים בפרק קכ”ב.

נו, ומה יאמרו עוד כשלושים שנה?

ואולי יצרפו כמה פרקים ביחד? וצ”ע.
