Saint Gabriel meeting with Mary

Understanding the Annunciation: A Spiritual Reflection

This is a continuation of my earlier post on the Annunciation by Saint Gabriel. This is a very emotional moment when it is fully considered, one that marks the divine intersection of human history and sacred purpose. This is the first decade in the Joyful Mysteries, a time filled with anticipation and revelation. In the earlier post, I mentioned that Mary spent her time in the temple from age three until she came of age. Imagine the time she spent there; the echo of prayers and the scent of incense lingered in her memory. She would have overheard the Jewish leaders discussing the books of the Torah, engaging in debates that shaped their understanding of faith and God’s promises. This environment undoubtedly nurtured her spirit, and as she listened intently, she absorbed the wisdom and teachings that would guide her in the extraordinary journey ahead.

Now I am not a biblical guru. My understanding is limited. It comes from reading scripture and just trying to understand. When I say the rosary, I try to think through Scriptures before, during, and afterward the event of that decade. Sometimes with each Hail Mary, I quote a different verse from the Bible; other times, I start the decade with all the verses that pertain to that decade. When I was growing up, we offered each decade for a particular need, whether that was petitioning for aid or the souls in purgatory. I have been known to offer each Hail Mary for a particular virtue or need or for financial assistance or for a particular person.

I really have enjoyed Father Mark Mary’s Rosary In A Year by Ascension Press. It has given me insight into the Bible and the rosary that I had not considered. I use the rosary as a method to rest, grow, and love the Blessed Trinity. They are in every moment, and it should be meditated upon to have completeness and understanding. If you pray the rosary, what do you contemplate when praying the Annunciation? If you don’t pray the rosary, what do you take into consideration about the Annunciation?

That being said, in this mystery, we take a moment to see Mary in her humility accepting the grace being bestowed on her. It was a huge responsibility to accept being the tabernacle of Our Lord, Jesus. It was a huge responsibility as a young Jewish girl to take on the duty of raising Him from His youth. She understood how difficult and challenging carrying, caring for, and loving Him through His pain would be. I try to grasp the magnitude of this event. I generally ask the Blessed Trinity to help me understand and be more like her in her devotion to the Blessed Trinity. When you pray what do you try to consider?

Now, I ask you to take a moment and envision yourself in Mary’s shoes or those of others who knew her. Place yourself in the scene and try to understand and grow from this event. Each of us will see something different and grow in a particular area that is needed. Consider how your unique perspective influences your understanding of the situation, leading to diverse reactions and insights. Each of us will see something different and grow in a particular area that is needed, whether it’s empathy, resilience, or a deeper understanding of the Blessed Trinity and the Holy Family. Embracing these lessons creates growth within us.

As we sit down to pray the Rosary, let’s take a moment to decide on how we will pray the Rosary, whether that be scriptural before each bead or decade or straight through – whether we will offer a petition up in the same way. The Rosary can be personalized to your needs, always keeping the Blessed Trinity in the forefront of every prayer.

The videos will enhance your understanding of this first mystery.

    Trump’s Iran Charade

    The Oct7th War which spread to a war against Lebanon, Syria, and Iran has radically changed the balance of power in the Middle East. The UN has completely discredited its objectivity with the ICC/ICJ attempts to declare Bibi a war-criminal. You drink this blood libel slander like Catholics drink their blood and body of Christ then go out and make a Easter pogrom against Jews based upon some blood libel slander!

    Both England and France have broken off diplomatic relations with Israel, prior to the 12 Day War with Iran! Hence neither power has any influence in the Middle East negotiated peace process ie. the Coming Abraham expanded accords which will most likely see a majority of Arab countries developing diplomatic relations with Israel. If a majority of Arab nations recognize the Jewish state, then and only then will Israel join the Middle East voting block of Nations within the UN. A totally unprecedented reality since Israel won its two Wars of national independence back in 1948 and again in 1967.

    The latter Independence War, recall that Naser swore to throw the Jews into the Sea and correct the Nakba disgrace where 5 Arab Armies failed to throw the Jews into the Sea and complete the Nazi Shoah of the Jewish people! To date, except for Camp David and Abraham Accord Arab nations which currently have diplomatic relations with Israel, post the Israeli victory of 1967, all Arab countries reacted through the Khartoum Conference declaration of 3 No’s. No Peace with Israel. No Recognition of Israel. No Negotiations with Israel.

    Arab countries which reject the Jewish state of Israel refer it as “the Zionist Entity”. General Assembly UN Resolution 3379 declared Zionism is Racism! Apparently your revisionist History over-looked these minor FACTS. All Arab countries absolutely reject the 1917 Balfour Declaration wherein Britain recognized Jewish equal rights to achieve self determination in the Middle East. The League of Nations “Palestine Mandate” awarded to victorious WWI Britain in 1922, based this Mandate upon the Balfour Declaration. Hence b/c Arabs rejected Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East no Arab would ever refer to himself as a Palestinian.

    Not till 1964, with the State of Israel as a 16 year old country did Egyptian born Yasser Arafat embrace the political opportunism and call his terrorist movement the Palestine Liberation Organization – PLO. That PLO Charter did not condemn Jordanian “occupation” of the Jordan declared “West Bank”. Nor did it condemn the Egyptian “occupation” of Gaza! Only ’48 Israel did the PLO Charter condemn and abhor!!!!

    A 6 part Mishnaic mussar of this paper. Avodah Zarah in Our Generation: The Crisis of Jews Who Side With Amalek. In every generation, Amalek takes new forms. Today, it is no different. But what is shocking is not only the hatred of our enemies—it is the collaboration of Jews, raised within Torah civilization or its memory, who now partner with those seeking to dismantle the Jewish state.

    When Jewish voices shout “From the River to the Sea,” they are not engaged in protest—they are echoing the genocidal goals of Hamas. When they equate Israel’s defense against a massacre to genocide, they join in blood libel, no different in kind from the medieval slanders that triggered Easter pogroms. When they ally with UN declarations and ICC/ICJ indictments meant to strip Jews of the right to self-defense, they violate the first commandment of Jewish history: “Never again shall Jewish blood be cheap.”

    Sovereignty vs. Subjugation: Jews Ruling vs. Jews Ruled: A fundamental distinction separates Jews living as a sovereign nation in their own land versus Jews existing as a minority under non-Jewish rule (galut). Assimilated & intermarried Jews in the West, who function within dominant non-Jewish cultures, have lost connection with Jewish national identity and Torah sovereignty, resembling the biblical Erev Rav—those lacking fear of Heaven and loyalty to the Jewish nation.

    Double Standards in Territorial Legitimacy: Prussia vs. Samaria & Gaza: The hypocrisy of the international community – emphasized. While the post-WWII redrawing of European borders—such as Poland and Russia’s annexation of Prussia—is accepted without condemnation, Israel is uniquely targeted for reasserting sovereignty over Samaria and Gaza after 1967. UN Resolutions 242 and 338 are cited as politically biased tools used to delegitimize Israel’s historical and military rights.

    Western Imperialism and Regional Domination: Suez to Iran. The 1956 Suez Crisis serves as evidence of continued British and French imperial ambitions, cloaked in Cold War geopolitics and economic control (specifically over the Suez Canal). This is paralleled with U.S./British involvement in Iran—removing Mossadegh and reinstalling the Shah to prevent the nationalization of oil. The 1979 Iranian Revolution is framed as a reaction to this imperialism. Similarly, prior to the “12 Day War,” the UK and France withdrew diplomatic ties with Israel in protest of their exclusion from influencing a ceasefire in Gaza.

    Rejection of the 242/338 Two-State Paradigm by the Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords are seen as a major geopolitical shift, fundamentally rejecting the British- and French-backed vision of peace based on dividing Israel into two hostile entities—akin to India-Pakistan or North-South Korea. The Accords envision peace without territorial partition, and with increasing normalization between Israel and Arab states, signal the failure of the old colonial-era frameworks.

    UN Bias and Historical Arab Rejectionism of the Balfour Declaration wherein a major Great Power recognized Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East. The UN based its 1922 Palestinian Mandate upon the Balfour Treaty. The Khartoum Conference (1967) “Three No’s” serves as proof of Arab states’ refusal to accept Israel’s equal rights to self-determination. The UN, particularly via General Assembly Resolution 3379 (“Zionism is racism”), has been complicit in reinforcing this Arab rejectionism of Jewish equal rights to achieve self-determination. Meanwhile, the ICC and ICJ today continue the Zionism is Racism pattern, under the guise of international law, falsely accusing Israeli leaders of war crimes while ignoring the Oct7th pogrom and declaring the current conflict pre-dates Oct7th. This whitewashes the Oct7th surprise attack, comparable to the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec7th 1941.

    The Manufactured Identity of “Palestinians” and PLO Opportunism. The identity of “Palestinians”, a modern invention, emerging only in 1964 with the formation of the PLO under Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat. The original PLO Charter made no objection to Jordanian control of the West Bank or Egyptian rule in Gaza, focusing only on dismantling Israel. This opportunistic narrative is framed as a political weapon rather than a legitimate national movement.

    The Talmud (Yoma 9b) states:

    מקדש שני שהיו עוסקים בתורה ובמצות וגמילות חסדים, מפני מה חרב? מפני שהיתה בו שנאת חנם. Then, the Midrash in Eikha Rabbah and various aggadot go further to compare sinat chinam with the worst transgressions—including idolatry, sexual immorality, and murder—suggesting that internal Jewish hatred is as destructive as idol worship.

    G’lut Jews have lost the wisdom to keep and obey the Torah לשמה. Assimilated and intermarried Jews living under foreign alien cultures and customs have abandoned the T’NaCH, Talmud, Midrashim, and Siddur as the foundation which shapes and forms all Torah cultures and customs. As an ערב רב they cling to alien cultures and customs by which they form and shape their identities and values. These foreign cultures and customs which they embrace have become the Gods which they worship.

    מידה כנגד מידה a core Torah principle, and that slogans like “From the river to the sea”—when chanted by Jews—do immense damage. Jews who equate the Gaza war with the Shoah genocide equals to the abhorrence to blood libel slanders which produced annual pogroms prior to Easter across Europe. Liberal Jews disgraceful alliance with South African declarations of genocide in Gaza and Apartheid a flat out public chilul Hashem. Such Jews have no portion in the world to Come. These Jews have broken faith with the brit Cohen people, just like as did the Erev Rav which aroused Amalek antisemites throughout the generations. The blood of hundreds of generations of Jews slaughtered cries out and denounces these stinking ערב רב Jews.

    When Jews chant “From the River to the Sea,” they are not merely protesting policy—they are aligning themselves with those who dream of Israel’s destruction. This is not political dissent. It is covenantal treason. Like the Erev Rav, they emerge at times of national crisis to confuse the people, distort Torah, and drain morale. Their slogans, shouted from exile and college campuses, do more than harm Israel’s name abroad—they erode our internal unity and desecrate the mission entrusted to Israel at Sinai. These Jews have not merely lost political direction—they have forfeited spiritual clarity. They replace Torah with the gods of globalism, intersectionality, and postmodern guilt. The Torah calls this avodah zarah—not in metaphor, but in law.

    The Torah commands the total destruction of Amalek—without mercy, without compromise. This commandment appears in multiple places. Devarim 25:17–19: “You shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget.”

    Shemot 17:16: “Hashem will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

    Shmuel I 15: Shmuel commands Shaul to annihilate Amalek totally, down to every man, woman, child, and animal. When Shaul shows mercy, he is rejected as king.

    This as a Torah commandment targets Amalek’s existential war against Hashem and against the Jewish people. Amalek is not simply an enemy—it is a theological and civilizational antithesis to Torah, a force of evil that seeks to destroy the very brit between Hashem and Israel.

    The statute law perversion of Hilchot Melachim 5:5 flat out wrong. The 7 laws of bnai noach apply strictly and only to gere toshav temporary residents living within the borders of Judea. Once those Goyim returned to their homelands the 7 laws no longer applied to them. The purpose of keeping those 7 laws: Unlike the refugee Na’Cree stranger who had no judicial rights to fair compensation of damages inflicted. Gere Toshav enjoyed the legal right to sue an Israel for damages and receive fair compensation. Not so the Canaani refugees. An Israel had no legal obligation to compensate them for damages they suffered from an Israel. The purpose of judicial justice – to restore Trust between bnai brit who inflict damages upon one another. The NaCree Canaani refugees never ever trusted during their entire temporary residence within the borders of Judea.

    Today we can easily identify Amalek with absolute certainty because assimilation and intermarriage defines avoda zarah and Amalek promotes the worship of avoda zarah. The RambaN’s (Devarim 25) commentary applies today because the Torah defines faith as the pursuit of righteous judicial justice within the borders of the Constitutional 12 Tribe Republic. Sanhedrin 98a: “Moshiach ben David will not come until all judges are restored as of old.” Amalek is not a foreign invader, but a spiritual-political corruption that arises from within, where Torah is abandoned, brit is dissolved, and Jewish trust is betrayed. The king David model dedicates the mitzva of Moshiach upon justice based upon the פרט of the lack of justice served to the baal of Bat Sheva.

    The ערב רב who left Egypt – Jews. Amalek attacked these Jews wherein they embraced the ways of Amalek ie assimilation and intermarriage. Amalek by definition: a nation that attacked Israel at its weakest from behind. From behind refers to Jews who have no fear of God.

    Sinat chinam and betrayal while similar to precedent cases of mumar, tinok she’nishba, moser, and min, clearly the added blessing within the Shemone Esrei by Shmuel Ha’Katan condemns this ערב רב Amalek internal Jewish abomination no different than the Ben Sorer u’Moreh.

    The term “Amalek”, applied to Jews perceived as betraying their people, rather than to alien Goyim people/strangers. This internal betrayal – viewed as particularly egregious because it comes from within the community, undermining the collective identity and mission of the Jewish people. The comparison to figures like Benedict Arnold highlights the seriousness of perceived betrayal during critical moments in Jewish history, such as the fight for independence and survival against external threats. Liberal Reform Jewish movements or individuals, who align themselves with foreign enemies who oppose Israel or Jewish sovereignty, their tuma actions constitute as most base betrayal, meaning Amalek.

    Liberal Reform Judaism theology and Jewish political groups or individuals who embrace this Av tuma avoda zarah; who align themselves with anti-Israel sentiments or actions contribute to a form of betrayal which defines the Torah commandment to obliterate Amalek. The seriousness of internal divisions within the Jewish community and the implications of those divisions for Jewish identity and solidarity herein defines the k’vanna of remembering the Torah obligation to utterly obliterate Amalek without showing the slightest regard for mercy.

    Hence its the precise mitzvot of killing the rebellious son or the mitzva of utterly obliterating the memory of Amalek betrayal among our people, these key Torah precedents serve to define the k’vanna of רחום revealed to Moshe at Horev 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf.

    Another precedent, the destruction of Korach and his children. The Torah commands: The sons does not die for the sins of his father. Yet the sons of Korach all died together with their father! The middah of רחום vetoes the negative Torah commandment. The revelation of Oral Torah tohor middot at Horev prioritizes the k’vanna of tohor middot dedicated to HaShem לשמה. Either when dedicating a korban on the altar or doing halachic mitzvot from the Talmud.

    Regardless – doing time oriented tohor Av commandments raises toldot commandments and halachic mitzvot to primary Torah commandments which require prophetic mussar middot dedications לשמה as their k’vanna. Therefore the dedication of tohor middot have a veto power over doing secondary commandments which do not require k’vanna; such as the negative commandment not to put the son to death for the sins of the father. Yet in the case of Korach, the sons – put to death together with their father. Herein defines the k’vanna of רחום; the scape-goat, thrown off a cliff alive on Yom Kippur to serves as a דיוק reverse רחום Torah tohor middah.

      Hi Mosckerr, thank you for your powerful post. It’s a deep dive into history and Jewish wisdom which has made me really reflect. I understand how you feel, and you make many valid points, especially about the Balfour Declaration and the Talmud’s teachings on sinat chinam. Some of your thoughts, like those on UN actions, might be considered as subjective, but they carry weight which has given me a lot to consider. I hope you and your family are finding some calm in these hectic times. Your mention of chesed really moved me. It’s a beautiful way to heal divisions. What’s a simple way we can practice chesed every day to build stronger, more caring communities? Thanks! Take care.

        The Tohor middah of chesed spins around the conscious decision to separate the wheat of time-oriented commandments from the chaff of mindless daily rituals done out of habit.

        I like that. That’s an interesting way of seeing things. So how many commandments are there of each? And do Jews still follow all of the commandments now? Or have they been modified to fit today’s standards? You seem to understand the Torah very well. I know this has nothing about our discussion. But, in Exodus it describes the altar in detail. Could please explain to me the meaning of that much detail?

        Do not have a clue. The halachot within the Talmud, in theory can all become time-oriented tohor commandments. The altar qualifies as a משל\נמשל prophetic mussar. The נמשל teaches, just as the משל – precise, so to measure for measure, the sworn oath – precise.

        Israel to send delegation to Qatar for Gaza talks
        Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Donald Trump at the White House this week, raising hopes of a truce to end the 21 months of bloodshed in Gaza. Israel will send a

        Israel to send delegation to Qatar for Gaza talks. Britain and France, Russia and China not invited. Which highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics surrounding the ongoing conflict. Specifically that Britain and France broke diplomatic relations with Israel after the failed UN Chapter VII dictate to force Israel out of Gaza, vetoed by President Trump 14-1. This veto, along with the subsequent diplomatic fallout, illustrates the divisions among major powers regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The breakdown of relations between Israel and these European nations reflects broader tensions and differing perspectives on how to address the ongoing violence and humanitarian issues in Gaza.

        The idea of a tripartite alliance between the United States, India, and Israel reflects a strategic partnership that has been developing over recent years, focusing on shared interests in security, technology, and counterterrorism. Such an alliance could potentially reshape geopolitical dynamics, particularly in the context of U.S. foreign policy priorities.

        The notion that the U.S. might withdraw from NATO in favor of strengthening ties with India and Israel is a significant shift in traditional U.S. foreign policy, which has historically emphasized collective defense through NATO. A clear statement from the Trump Administration regarding the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as “not a U.S. problem” would further indicate a pivot towards a more isolationist stance, prioritizing bilateral relationships over multilateral commitments.

        Regarding Russia, the perception of its threat level has evolved since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. While Russia remains a significant global player, its military capabilities and geopolitical influence are viewed differently compared to the Cold War era. The current Russian government, under President Putin, is often seen as more focused on regional ambitions rather than the expansive ideology of the Soviet Union.

        Russia stuck in the Ukraine much like the Johnson Administration stuck itself in Vietnam and the Bush Administration stuck itself in Afghanistan and Iraq. The European idea of a two-State solution a clear failure Foreign Policy of Great Power interventionism. It has Universally always failed from India and Pakistan, to the division of Korea and Vietnam into two hostile countries to the separation of Kuwait from Iraq to the UN SC Resolution 242 and 338 which “advise” the “international Community of Nations” to impose a two-State solution upon the Middle East.

        In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the two-state solution has been proposed as a way to address the aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians for self-determination. An example of foreign great power propaganda. The UN Mandate of Palestine ceased to exist in 1948. All Arab countries Universally rejected British proposed UN 181. Arab countries lost their wars to throw the Jews into the Sea in both 1948 and again in 1967. Jordan attacked Israel and lost Samaria in that short June War. Palestine ceased to exist from 1948 to 1964, when Egyptian born Yasser Arafat opportunistically revived Palestine from the dead by naming his terrorist organization the Palestine Liberation Organization. Confusing foreign states propaganda concerning the non-state of Palestine ignores the simple fact that Mandate Palestine ceased to exist when Israel won its National Independence.

        Equating the independent State of Israel as equal to the 1964 terrorist declaration of Palestine = complete and total propaganda half-truths that would make Joseph Goebbels proud. Stateless Arab refugees the consequence of Nakba defeated wars do not share equality with the Independent State of Israel. Arabs lost their wars and losing wars carries risks and consequences which the nation states which promote the Palestinian cause – completely and totally ignore.

        The portrayal of the conflict as a simple struggle for Palestinian self-determination fails to account for the historical context of statehood, territorial disputes, and the outcomes of military engagements. And therefore it exists as most foul and base revisionist history. Proponents, such as Britain and France, of the two-state solution argue that it remains a viable framework for achieving peace and addressing the aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. Utter nonsense – the 2 state solution has always resulted in more wars. Therefore this “peace” noun serves only a great power propaganda – divide and rule – imperialism.

        Peace as a noun does not resemble Shalom as a verb. The latter absolutely requires TRUST. The former has nothing to do with TRUST, and everything to do with propaganda sound bites on par with the anti-war song: “All we are saying is give Peace a chance”.

        Thank you for your heartfelt thoughts. I’m sorry for my delayed response. Your thoughts are deeply value. My prayers embrace Israel and the entire region with hope for peace. The Qatar ceasefire talks have stalled, with Israel and the U.S. stepping back, yet hope still persists for a resolution. The U.S.-Israel-India bond grows stronger, while the two-state debate continues as it has for years. I pray for Shalom, a peace built on trust and understanding, enveloping all in compassion. Wishing Mosckerr you all the best!

        Its extremely important to publish opposition within the GOP, (screw the DemonCrapic Party and the MSM propaganda press) concerning our President Trump’s well deserved and rejoiced 2nd Administration. Personally, for me, I emotionally support President Trump. Non-the-less, its extremely important to publish GOP and even democratic party opposition.

        Jason Crow of Colorado, a Democrat Congressman, has voiced opposition to Tulsi Gabbards Russia-Gate Hoax charges.
        Colorado’s Jason Crow comments on being selected to be impeachment manager

        Senator Mark Warner, despises Tulsi Gabbard. Approve and support the service made by Edward Snowden, and support his pardon. The threat of the Ukraine joining NATO caused Russia to invade Ukraine. Russia twice invaded by Napoleon and Hitler through the flat plains of the Ukraine.
        Sh*t That Ain’t True – Mark Warner on Tulsi Gabbard

        The Russian Hoax allegations and the Epstein sex scandal – indeed separate issues, each with its own context and implications. The Russian Hoax allegations primarily revolve around the integrity of the electoral process and potential foreign interference, while the Epstein scandal deals with serious criminal behavior related to sexual exploitation.

        Investigations into the Russian allegations were led by the Mueller Report, which sought to determine the extent of Russian interference and any collusion with the Trump campaign. The Epstein scandal has led to multiple investigations and legal actions against those involved in his network, focusing on accountability for sexual abuse.

        Mark Kelly, a Democratic Senator from Arizona, attempts to equate the Russia-Gate Hoax with the Epstein files. Kelly opposed Gabbard from the get-go.
        Sen. Mark Kelly Raises Red Flags on Tulsi Gabbard’s Nomination: National Security Concerns

        On July 2019 Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. His arrest and subsequent “suicide” caused an ongoing scrutiny of the Trump Administration’s ties to Epstein, though not directly linked to Russia-Gate. The Trump Administration faced no direct legal pressure related to Epstein until after the Russia-Gate allegations began to unfold! Therefore Mark Kelly employs the Epstein files as a red herring to deflect away from the Watergate Hoax scandal and the ultimate disgrace of the Obama Administration.

        This Red Herring tactic of linking various scandals, a common denominator employed in political rhetoric, aimed at reactionary uneducated television views. Where these Democrapic opponents of President Trump seek to shift their skewed narratives, in order to focus public attention away from embarrassing political disgraces – such as the Russia-Gate Hoax Scandal.

        Jim Himes, another Democrat calls the Russia Hoax accusations – “baseless”. Its important to remember the CNN Fake News reporting 8 years ago.

        Jake Tapper: Trump’s world untethered to facts
        Jake Tapper, his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored with Alex Thompson. The book explores the alleged concealment of President Biden’s cognitive decline by his inner circle and the implications of this for his 2024 re-election campaign. Tapper argues that Biden’s aides and family members were aware of his declining health but chose to support his decision to run for re-election, despite concerns about how this would affect his campaign and the Democratic Party.

        CNN has made several programming adjustments, including moving Tapper’s show to a later time and removing other anchors from their positions, but Tapper remains a prominent figure at the network. Jake Tapper remains with CNN and continues to host his show, despite the network’s recent programming which demoted the importance of his shows.

        CNN ratings have never recovered from its rabid hostility and biased news coverage of the first Trump Administration. The MSM socialist Pravda-like propaganda, lead by NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN Fake News, has witnessed a serious decline in earnings and influence.

        The Fake News MSM legacy media promotes to this day a Yellow Journalism that prioritizes copy selling sensationalism over hard copy objective journalism. The expulsion of President Trump from Twitter prior to the 2020 elections inspired Elon Musk to acquire X and fire the vast majority of Twitter parasite slugs. The concealing of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal by the FBI and the MSM press significantly influenced the 2020 Presidential elections.

        The FBI’s involvement in the investigation of the laptop raised concerns about the intersection of law enforcement and political narratives, with critics arguing that it contributed to a lack of accountability in media reporting. Many individuals express frustration with what they perceive as a lack of integrity in journalism, leading to calls for more accountability and a return to objective reporting standards.

        Sh*t That Ain’t True – Mark Warner on Tulsi Gabbard

        The Russian Hoax allegations and the Epstein sex scandal – indeed separate issues, each with its own context and implications. The Russian Hoax allegations primarily revolve around the integrity of the electoral process and potential foreign interference, while the Epstein scandal deals with serious criminal behavior related to sexual exploitation.

        Investigations into the Russian allegations were led by the Mueller Report, which sought to determine the extent of Russian interference and any collusion with the Trump campaign. The Epstein scandal has led to multiple investigations and legal actions against those involved in his network, focusing on accountability for sexual abuse.

        Mark Kelly, a Democratic Senator from Arizona, attempts to equate the Russia-Gate Hoax with the Epstein files. Kelly opposed Gabbard from the get-go.
        Sen. Mark Kelly Raises Red Flags on Tulsi Gabbard’s Nomination: National Security Concerns

        On July 2019 Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. His arrest and subsequent “suicide” caused an ongoing scrutiny of the Trump Administration’s ties to Epstein, though not directly linked to Russia-Gate.

        The Trump Administration faced no direct legal pressure related to Epstein until after the Russia-Gate allegations began to unfold! Therefore Mark Kelly employs the Epstein files as a red herring to deflect away from the Watergate Hoax scandal and the ultimate disgrace of the Obama Administration.

        This Red Herring tactic of linking various scandals, a common denominator employed in political rhetoric, aimed at reactionary uneducated television views. Where these Democrapic opponents of President Trump seek to shift their skewed narratives, in order to focus public attention away from embarrassing political disgraces – such as the Russia-Gate Hoax Scandal.

        Jim Himes, another Democrat calls the Russia Hoax accusations – “baseless”. Its important to remember the CNN Fake News reporting 8 years ago.

        Jake Tapper: Trump’s world untethered to facts
        Jake Tapper, his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” co-authored with Alex Thompson.

        That book explores the alleged concealment of President Biden’s cognitive decline by his inner circle and the implications of this for his 2024 re-election campaign. Tapper argues that Biden’s aides and family members were aware of his declining health but chose to support his decision to run for re-election, despite concerns about how this would affect his campaign and the Democratic Party.

        CNN has made several programming adjustments, including moving Tapper’s show to a later time and removing other anchors from their positions, but Tapper remains a prominent figure at the network. Jake Tapper remains with CNN and continues to host his show, despite the network’s recent programming which demoted the importance of his shows.

        CNN ratings have never recovered from its rabid hostility and biased news coverage of the first Trump Administration. The MSM socialist Pravda-like propaganda, lead by NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN Fake News, has witnessed a serious decline in earnings and influence.

        The Fake News MSM legacy media promotes to this day a Yellow Journalism that prioritizes copy selling sensationalism over hard copy objective journalism. The expulsion of President Trump from Twitter prior to the 2020 elections inspired Elon Musk to acquire X and fire the vast majority of Twitter parasite slugs. The concealing of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal by the FBI and the MSM press significantly influenced the 2020 Presidential elections.

        The FBI’s involvement in the investigation of the laptop raised concerns about the intersection of law enforcement and political narratives, with critics arguing that it contributed to a lack of accountability in media reporting. Many individuals express frustration with what they perceive as a lack of integrity in journalism, leading to calls for more accountability and a return to objective reporting standards.

        Did Obama and Hillery use false intelligence, the Steele report, to discredit Trump’s election victory? Did senior officials from the FBI and CIA support the Russia interference false alligations? The Epstein scandal has nothing to do with the Russian hoax of 2016. That’s a Red Herring. What “multiple investigations have confirmed Russian interference in the 2016 election? What information has Gabbard “cherry-picked”?

        The Steele Dossier came from the Clinton’s election team. The Democrats employed the false Steele Dossier to open investigations on the Trump team. No question the Steele dossier served as a Democratic attack point used to challenge the Trump ’16 victory.

        The Mueller Report exonerated Trump. You cannot accuse Gabbard of cherry picking information and not bring any evidence of “cherry picked” evidence. That’s another Red Herring.

        Whether the Kremlin sought to influence the ’16 election has absolutely nothing what so ever to do with the Trump election campaign. Cherry-Picking accusations post the 3 plus years of Russia Hoax do not mean squat. Name the evidence. Put up or shut up.

        Fusion GPS supports the Gabbard allegations made against both Obama and Clinton. The Mueller Report based its investigations upon Fusion GPS lies. How does Gabbard “selectively interpret” evidence. Name the evidence. No evidence exists that the Trump election team worked in collusion with Russia.

        The Steele Dossier corrupt from the start, regardless if various unnamed sources implicated in the Clinton hoax scandal. Russian interference in the ’16 elections a Red Herring. It has nothing to do with the Trump team in ’16. Emphasizing A vs. downplaying or ignoring B absolutely requires naming both A and B.

        Vague declarations of how different parties emphasize or downplay aspects of the investigations absolutely require specifics not broad general statements unsupported by factual evidence. That’s propaganda. The Mueller Report did not establish a conspiracy or coordination between the Trump Team and the Russian Government.

        Candidate Clinton utterly disgraced and humiliated. Documented Russian interference efforts has absolutely nothing to do with the Trump team anymore than with the Clinton team. Russia operates independent of both Trump and Clinton. The accusation the Democrats made against Trump following the ’16 elections – a simple Red Herring.

        The Mueller Report with its conclusions that no evidence of conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia starkly contrasts with the political slander which the MSM press lead by Rachel Maddow and Late Night “comedy” shows. That Russia employed social media and hacking, no different than the US doing the exact same thing against Russia and virtually all other countries across the Planet.

        Both Obama and Clinton sought to make a coup against President Trump’s election victory. US spy agencies sow discord in the political systems of Foreign governments. Especially hostile Foreign governments! Social media directly caused the Arab Spring revolutions which caused the Middle East to go into political anarchy and Civil Wars!

        Because the Mueller Report found no evidence of conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia then the “baseless” declarations made by Obama and his supporters which seeks to minimize the damage to the reputations of these treason traitor criminals – the only thing “baseless”.

        Rachel Maddow and other bought and paid for supporters of Obama and Clinton openly employed slander to politically assassinate the Good Name of President Trump and his election team. The Mueller Report conclusions utterly refutes the ’25 Obama and supporters slander and political assassination attempts.

        Did Obama cross the line and order the two assassination attempts made on Candidate Trump prior to the ’24 elections? Does US intelligence spy on the America people through FaceBook and other social media platforms? Obviously, its an undisputed reality that the FBI and CIA and NSA, post the 9/11 Chaney/Bush Patriot Act have operated outside the bounds established by the US Constitution. Bush himself referred to the Constitution as just a GD piece of paper!

        Obama and his allies engaged in slander to undermine Trump’s legitimacy. The narrative that figures like Rachel Maddow and others have engaged in slander against Trump. These subversive media figures have perpetuated a narrative of collusion without sufficient evidence, contributing to a broader campaign to discredit Trump.

        The revelations by whistleblowers, such as Edward Snowden, highlighted the extent of surveillance programs that collect data from social media and other platforms. This has raised significant debates about privacy rights and government overreach. The quote attributed to George W. Bush regarding the Constitution reflects a sentiment among some critics that national security concerns have been prioritized over civil liberties.

        Obama and his allies engaged in slander to undermine Trump’s legitimacy. Rachel Maddow engaged in slander to undermine Trump’s legitimacy.

        Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden revealed extensive surveillance programs that collect data from social media. The debate over the balance between civil liberties and national security, particularly post-9/11, the Obama-Clinton treason have conclusively without a shred of doubt proven.

        The disgraced legacy media with its False News merits total and absolute contempt. The revelations by Edward Snowden brought to light the extent of government surveillance, raising concerns about privacy rights. The collection of data from social media by the FBI, CIA, NSA etc., demands to restrict and radically curtail these utterly corrupt bureaucracies which have no accountability to the voting American people.

        Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can see how much care and conviction you’ve put into them. I truly respect your passion and your deep engagement with the challenges facing our world. I believe strongly in the call to be peacemakers and instruments of healing. I wonder if, in all this struggle, there might be a way to also focus on hope-to explore how we (all) can move toward restoration and dignity, even across divisions. I’d be genuinely interested in hearing how you think we can turn this into something constructive-something that uplift. I think you could provide a voice in helping to solve these issues.

        Thank you for sharing your perspective. I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I respect the depth of your convictions. But there are some things I do believe strongly.

        We must all be accountable for our actions—individuals and nations alike. We each make choices, and those choices matter. No matter what has happened in the past, it does not excuse what we do today. History can inform us, but it should never be used to justify injustice or avoid responsibility. This applies just as much to governments as it does to people.

        But then the real question becomes: who holds people or countries accountable? At the end of the day, it has to be us. That kind of responsibility can’t be outsourced. And honestly, I don’t know exactly how it should be handled—that takes serious thought, wisdom, and discernment. Systems and laws can only go so far.

        Because underneath it all, the root of the issue is the human heart. How do you truly change a person’s heart? How do you transform a society from the inside out? That’s not something you can legislate or impose. It’s a slow, personal process—and maybe the most important one. If the heart doesn’t change, the system won’t either.

        And sometimes, in order to have peace, you have to let go of ancestral (past) history—not because it didn’t matter, but because clinging to it can keep wounds open forever. We have to ask ourselves: will any of this still matter in 1,000 years? Will the pain we’re holding onto today shape anything meaningful for those who come after us?

        Maybe real strength isn’t in remembering every wrong—but in choosing peace anyway.

        [[ But then the real question becomes: who holds people or countries accountable? ]] War. Traditionally war judge nations. The Torah refers to HaShem as a “איש מלחמה”/Man of War. HaShem judge Egypt in the days of Moshe. Judged the kingdom of Sodom in the days of Avraham. The Torah teaches that HaShem judges the k’vanna of the heart.

        Goyim have no concept of the struggles – campaigns fought between the opposing Yatrirot within the heart. The Yatrirot breath life vs. death spirits called middot. When a young teenager crashes a car and winds up dead – that’s the Yatrir Ha’Rah. When a sage studies T’NaCH Talmud & Midrashim for tohor middot precedents by which to elevate a secondary commandment or halacha from a simple positive or negative action to a Av tohor time oriented actions which requires “k’vanna” – meaning the dedication of defined tohor middot gleaned from T’NaCH Talmud Midrashic and Siddur Primary sources – herein defines a conscious Yatzir Ha’Tov spirit dedication within the heart.

        This wisdom, first revealed at Horev, the Church has fundamentally denied. Hence Goyim have no concept of the struggles – think Esau vs. Yaacov in the womb of Rivka – waged between opposing spirit middot within the heart. Now the concept of HaShem judges the heart makes complete and total sense.

        The struggle between tohor vs. tumah middot within the heart — an every lasting struggle which started with Adam HaReshon till today. Power a powerful spirit for both good and evil. Sex another powerful spirit that can go either way. The classic story of king David being a peeping Tom on Bat Sheva taking a bath, an aggadic story of the Yatzir Ha’Rah and its cursed consequences. Shalom can no more reside between the opposing Yatzir spirit middot than oil and water can mingle in ‘peace’ together.

        Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can tell these issues are close to your heart, and I want to respond thoughtfully and respectfully. I agree that in the Torah, God has used war to judge nations (for example, Egypt, Sodom, and others) and He is indeed called an “Ish Milchamah” (Man of War). Those examples remind us that divine justice sometimes comes through conflict. And yes, the spiritual struggle — the yetzer ha’tov and yetzer ha’rah — is very real. I deeply respect the Jewish teaching about the inner battle of the heart and how it shapes both personal character and collective fate.

        At the same time, I also believe in the power of intercession, prayer, fasting, and repentance, as shown in the story of Abraham and Sodom. God told Abraham He would spare the city if just ten righteous people could be found. That shows me that even when judgment seems near, righteousness and prayer can still hold back destruction.

        This theme of divine mercy continues even into modern history. In the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Israel was vastly outnumbered and attacked on its most sacred day. Yet, despite the odds, Israel prevailed. Many believe that what happened went beyond military strength — that it was divine intervention. To me, that is a clear sign that God still watches over His people and still acts powerfully on their behalf. As you can see, I believe it was divine intervention. God was/is protecting Israel.

        I understand your words, and I respect where they’re coming from. I believe in God’s justice — and also in His mercy — and that through genuine turning of the heart, circumstances can change. The spiritual battle is real, and what happens in the heart often overflows into the world.

        Its important for non T’NaCH “readers” of sophomoric translations of the bible to understand that the T’NaCH commands prophetic mussar – applicable to all generations of Israel. Therefore the T’NaCH does NOT teach history. A huge but subtle distinction, and expression of ancient scholarship skills.

        Kingdom of Edom

        Michael Ruark

        Edom (“red”) was an ancient kingdom that stretched across areas in the south of present-day Jordan and Israel. Edom and the Edomites appear in several written sources relating to the late Bronze Age and to the Iron Age in the Levant, including the list of the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I from c. 1215 BC as well as in the chronicle of a campaign by Ramesses III (r. 1186–1155 BC), and the Hebrew Bible….

        Qos — a significant deity in the pantheon of the Edomites, representing a key aspect of their polytheistic beliefs. As a god associated with various elements of life, Qos played a vital role in the spiritual and cultural practices of the Edomite people. Qos is often associated with war and protection, serving as a guardian deity for the Edomites. His role as a warrior god reflects the martial culture of the Edomites, who frequently faced conflicts with neighboring tribes and kingdoms.

        Qos was also considered a mountain god, which is significant given the geographical landscape of Edom. The Edomites inhabited rugged terrains, and mountains were often seen as sacred spaces where deities resided. This connection to the mountains symbolized strength and stability. Worship of Qos likely involved various rituals, including sacrifices and offerings. These acts were intended to appease the deity and seek his favor in matters of war, agriculture, and daily life.

        Archaeological evidence suggests that the Edomites built shrines and possibly temples dedicated to Qos. These sites would have served as focal points for communal worship and religious gatherings. The worship of Qos reflects the broader context of ancient Near Eastern religions, where deities often shared attributes and functions. The Edomites, like many other cultures, adapted their religious practices based on interactions with neighboring peoples, including the Israelites and Moabites.

        The 2nd Sinai commandment the Torah revelation acknowledges that other Gods live. The theology surrounding Qos illustrates the complexity of Edomite religious beliefs and their connection to the natural world and societal needs. Understanding Qos and his significance provides insight into the cultural identity of the Edomites and their interactions with surrounding civilizations.

        Edomites and their interactions with neighboring cultures – complex and should not be oversimplified, like as Michael Ruark has perverted in his text quoted above. The Edomites according to many biblical historians – a joke because the T’NaCH does not teach history – an ancient Semitic people who inhabited the region south of the Dead Sea, primarily in southern Jordan. Their history, intertwined with that of neighboring groups, including the Israelites, Moabites, and Nabateans. The Edomites controlled key trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean. This strategic position allowed them to engage in commerce with various civilizations, including the Egyptians, Phoenicians, and later the Romans. The strategic importance of these trade routes bears emphasis. These critical trade routes connect Africa with Europe and Asia. Herein explains why the Romans and the British made control of these trade routes the “Crown Jewel” of their respective World Empires. The Edomites have a famous reputation, known for their rock-cut architecture, particularly in the city of Petra, which later became a major Nabatean city. This architectural style influenced subsequent cultures and remains a significant tourist attraction today.

        The Edomites practiced a polytheistic religion, worshipping deities, such as Qos, introduced above. Their religious practices and beliefs influenced neighboring cultures, contributing to the region’s spiritual landscape. The Edomites historically known for their mining activities, particularly in copper and other minerals. This resource extraction played a crucial role in their economy and provided materials for trade.

        Over time, the Edomite civilization descended unto decay chaos and anarchy. Better organized civilizations then absorbed and assimilated Edomite cultures and customs into their larger, better organized empires, such as the Nabateans and later the Romans. This integration/assimilation facilitated the continuation of their cultural and economic contributions within a broader imperial context. Their contributions to trade, architecture, and cultural exchange highlight the interconnectedness of ancient societies and the importance of understanding these relationships in the broader historical narrative.

        Determination of scholarship research vis-a-vis the authors rubbish narishkeit of Michael Ruark, simply requires a tad of research. Recommend The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the Levant: c. 8000-332 BCE” edited by Margreet L. Steiner and Ann E. Killebrew. This handbook provides a broad overview of archaeological findings across the Levant, including Edom, and situates them within the larger context of ancient Near Eastern history. It includes contributions from various scholars who are experts in their respective fields, ensuring a well-rounded and scholarly approach to the subject matter. It underwent serious scholastic rigorous academic scrutiny, enhancing its good name credibility.

        This source, it seems to me, particularly valuable for understanding the Edomites within the broader archaeological and historical framework of the region. Thomas E. Levy, an archaeologist known for his work in the southern Levant, particularly in Edom. Margreet L. Steiner, mentioned above, edited the “Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the Levant.” His scholarship has contributed to the understanding of the cultural and historical context of Edom and its neighbors.

        This blog paper, by stark contrast, contains several claims about the Edomites that reflect a biased or oversimplified view of their history and interactions with other groups. The Edomites simply not a monolithic group; their society – diverse in terms of social structure, culture, and interactions. Archaeological evidence indicates that Edomite society included various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and practices. This diversity historically reflected in the different archaeological sites and artifacts found in Edom, which strongly supports the theory that this civilization existed as a complex society with varying degrees of interaction with neighboring cultures.

        While scholarly debate flourishes about the nature of Edomite conversion, especially among Xtians who base their “opinions” solely upon secondary or tertiary sources, essential actual scholarship recognizes, that the conversion forced conversion of Esau to Judaism, a minor non biblical reference. The Hasmonean dynasty’s forced conversion represented an exceptionally complex process influenced by various factors, including political alliances, cultural exchanges, and individual choices. Many Edomites may have embraced Judaism for personal, social, or economic reasons, reflecting the fluidity of cultural identity in the ancient world.

        Edomite history in point of fact, characterized by its resilience and adaptation. After the fall of their kingdom, Edomites migrated and integrated into surrounding societies, including Judah. The fall of the 10 Tribe kingdom of Israel to the Assyrian empire likewise witnessed mass assimilation. Their ability to adapt to changing political landscapes demonstrates the complexity of their identity and the shared histories with neighboring groups. Simply crucial to challenge stereotypes and generalizations about the Edomites and related groups. The Edomites do not compare to Moavites. The latter qualify merely as adversaries of the Israelites; the society of Edom reflects a complex society with their own traditions, beliefs, and contributions to the region’s history. Emphasizing their individuality and complexity generally helps to combat oversimplified narratives.

        Throughout history, various groups have faced displacement, conflict, and cultural change. The Jews the only civilization which experienced repeated g’lut/exile and following 2000+ years which witnessed the bankruptcy of the Xtian and Muslim civilizations, did the Jewish people raise our dead civilization from the grave and begin our National self determination to restore the Torah Constitutional Republic built around Sanhedrin lateral common law courts with the mandate to establish law through ‘Legislative Review’ of all Governmental statute laws. By acknowledging the shared human experiences of struggle, adaptation, and resilience, we can promote empathy and understanding among different cultural and ethnic groups. By recognizing the diversity within Edomite society, challenging stereotypes, and fostering discussions that highlight shared histories and commonalities, we can promote a more nuanced understanding of the Edomites and their interactions with other groups, most especially with the Jewish people. This approach encourages empathy and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experiences that transcend cultural and historical differences.

Their contributions to trade, architecture, and cultural exchange highlight the interconnectedness of ancient societies and the importance of understanding these relationships in the broader historical narrative.

        Determination of scholarship research vis-a-vis the authors rubbish narishkeit of Michael Ruark, simply requires a tad of research. Recommend The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the Levant: c. 8000-332 BCE” edited by Margreet L. Steiner and Ann E. Killebrew. This handbook provides a broad overview of archaeological findings across the Levant, including Edom, and situates them within the larger context of ancient Near Eastern history. It includes contributions from various scholars who are experts in their respective fields, ensuring a well-rounded and scholarly approach to the subject matter. It underwent serious scholastic rigorous academic scrutiny, enhancing its good name credibility.

        This source, it seems to me, particularly valuable for understanding the Edomites within the broader archaeological and historical framework of the region. Thomas E. Levy, an archaeologist known for his work in the southern Levant, particularly in Edom. Margreet L. Steiner, mentioned above, edited the “Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology of the Levant.” His scholarship has contributed to the understanding of the cultural and historical context of Edom and its neighbors.

        This blog paper, by stark contrast, contains several claims about the Edomites that reflect a biased or oversimplified view of their history and interactions with other groups. The Edomites simply not a monolithic group; their society – diverse in terms of social structure, culture, and interactions. Archaeological evidence indicates that Edomite society included various clans and tribes, each with its own customs and practices. This diversity historically reflected in the different archaeological sites and artifacts found in Edom, which strongly supports the theory that this civilization existed as a complex society with varying degrees of interaction with neighboring cultures.

        While scholarly debate flourishes about the nature of Edomite conversion, especially among Xtians who base their “opinions” solely upon secondary or tertiary sources, essential actual scholarship recognizes, that the conversion forced conversion of Esau to Judaism, a minor non biblical reference. The Hasmonean dynasty’s forced conversion represented an exceptionally complex process influenced by various factors, including political alliances, cultural exchanges, and individual choices. Many Edomites may have embraced Judaism for personal, social, or economic reasons, reflecting the fluidity of cultural identity in the ancient world.

        Edomite history in point of fact, characterized by its resilience and adaptation. After the fall of their kingdom, Edomites migrated and integrated into surrounding societies, including Judah. The fall of the 10 Tribe kingdom of Israel to the Assyrian empire likewise witnessed mass assimilation. Their ability to adapt to changing political landscapes demonstrates the complexity of their identity and the shared histories with neighboring groups. Simply crucial to challenge stereotypes and generalizations about the Edomites and related groups. The Edomites do not compare to Moavites. The latter qualify merely as adversaries of the Israelites; the society of Edom reflects a complex society with their own traditions, beliefs, and contributions to the region’s history. Emphasizing their individuality and complexity generally helps to combat oversimplified narratives.

        Throughout history, various groups have faced displacement, conflict, and cultural change. The Jews the only civilization which experienced repeated g’lut/exile and following 2000+ years which witnessed the bankruptcy of the Xtian and Muslim civilizations, did the Jewish people raise our dead civilization from the grave and begin our National self determination to restore the Torah Constitutional Republic built around Sanhedrin lateral common law courts with the mandate to establish law through ‘Legislative Review’ of all Governmental statute laws. By acknowledging the shared human experiences of struggle, adaptation, and resilience, we can promote empathy and understanding among different cultural and ethnic groups. By recognizing the diversity within Edomite society, challenging stereotypes, and fostering discussions that highlight shared histories and commonalities, we can promote a more nuanced understanding of the Edomites and their interactions with other groups, most especially with the Jewish people. This approach encourages empathy and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experiences that transcend cultural and historical differences.

        Human society not flat, nor a טיפש פשט mythology.

        The zionist experiment of democracy faces some criticism by Jews such as myself who favor restoration of a Torah constitutional Republic which mandates a lateral Sanhedrin common law courts to regulate all laws passed by Jerusalem and the state legislatures of the 12 Tribes. Imposing Judicial Legislative Review upon Sanhedrin common law courtrooms with the Mandated Constitutional power to conduct trials which judge Capital Crimes offenses, and impose 4 different types of death penalties, dependent upon the nature of the Capital crimes committed. And equally vital and important דיוק inference to judging Capital Crimes Cases: To judge the leadership responsible for Federal and State governments; based through evidence of laws bureaucratically imposed by government authority officials — viewed through the lenses of prophetic משנה תורה-Legislative Review.

        The prioritization of lateral common law Sanhedrin courtrooms over institutional machinery of governance, which directly includes government leadership positions within these institutions of government, this essential clause defines, separates, and make unique Jewish political science. Faith: the Torah defines as justice justice pursue; a direct reference to lateral Sanhedrin common law courtrooms having the mandate of ‘Legislative Review’ over all governments – Jerusalem or any tribal/state legislature.

        Democracy or democratic institutions not part of the Jewish cultural traditions. Democratic mob rule, a Greek idea and not a Jewish cultural concept. Leaders “anointed” under the pre-condition that they will faithfully pursue justice as the rule of law. As in all Human endeavors, the humanity of Man, the ideal and the practical realities – a wide gap separates the two. When a leader sufficiently abuses his leadership mandate a prophet, representative of the Sanhedrin Court, impeaches that leader and replaces him with another. The stories in the Book of Judges and Samuel and Kings, which pits, for example: Shaul against David, serve as precedent models which separate Ordered societies from chaotic societies collapsing into a state of anarchy.

        Imposition of some grand Cathedral, Soloman Temple – like institutions comparable the newest Federal Reserve building in the US, the graphic porn of pork graft in government that has no shame – within any given civilization. Institutions compare to people that bow down and worship idols. Buildings of wood and stone do not promise efficient good governance. Public expenditure of taxes to build such grand structures of Egoism, they serve witness to a stratification of aristocratic feudal Lord/peasant economic anarchy; which imposes wealth and justifies ‘might make right’ judicial injustice, oppression, theft, and even taboo incest or murder.

        Contrast the IDF with its direct linkage with power projection through Foreign Policy. Ideally Foreign Policy plays second fiddle to domestic Home Rule. But often the nature of the Humanity of Man, Foreign Policies prioritized over Domestic Policies. This Yatzir Ha’Rah, once more its power seduction dominates the dynamic “ideal vs actual”; this gap separates the vision of governance from the cruel reality – that all men sit and crap on toilets, and it stinks. The Human potential NEVER achieves the Human ideal messiah.

        NT mythology no different than Homer’s Iliad, and Odyssey. Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days. Aeschylus’s The Orestia. Sophocles Oedipus Rus. Euripides Medea etc etc these Greek myth stories, they compare to how Xtians worship their silly sophomoric bible translations which depict a messiah savior that rises from the judicial oppression grave and saves all Humanity — despite the Caesar Son of Gods – the personification of Hercules/JeZeus in flesh, blood & History.

        The fly in this ever so sweet ointment, myths do not actually make and determine history. As history does not shape and determine modern life today in any society in all the annuls of Humans living on this Earth. Worshipping history as God the exact same idolatry as worshipping Shlomo’s or Herod’s Temples made of wood and stone. Institutionalized buildings, no matter the cost of their construction does not and never has produced the righteous pursuit of judicial common law justice.

        In the 1920s and 30s Orthodox Jews vocally opposed Balfour/League of Nations efforts to achieve Jewish self-determination in the Middle East. The curse of the Shoah followed.

        By their fruits you shall know them. Its called the Shoah – the systematic extermination of 75% of Western European Jewry in less than 3 years. Carlo M. Cipoila, 1976 “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity”.

        First Law of Stupidity: Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
        Second Law of Stupidity: The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
        Third Law of Stupidity: A stupid person is one who causes losses to another person or group while deriving no gain for themselves and even possibly incurring losses.
        Fourth Law of Stupidity: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals.
        Fifth Law of Stupidity: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

        Dietrich Bonhoeffer did not specifically formulate a “theory of stupidity” in the same way that Carlo M. Cipolla did. However, Bonhoeffer’s writings and thoughts on ethics, responsibility, and the nature of evil can be interpreted to address the concept of human folly and moral failure.

        While Bonhoeffer did not explicitly label his thoughts as a “theory of stupidity,” his insights into human behavior, moral failure, and the dangers of complacency resonate with the themes of irrationality and folly found in discussions about human stupidity. His life and writings serve as a powerful reminder of the need for critical thinking, ethical engagement, and the courage to confront evil in all its forms.

        While studying Soviet foreign policy under Prof. Dunning at Texas A&M, I developed a theory of Trotsky’s “Permanent Revolution” as a mechanism for dismantling the ethical containment force of a civilization. This theory helped explain why Stalin, in 1939, invited Hitler to attack the USSR, enabling the Nazi military to mass troops along Soviet borders without triggering a Soviet mobilization. Stalin, fearing the precedent of WWI—where a prolonged war catalyzed the collapse of the Czarist regime—believed such a shock invasion could be politically survivable if it avoided prolonged internal dissent.

        The Bolsheviks based their theory of revolution upon the French revolution where the King and the Church destroyed. The Bolsheviks destroyed both the Czar and the Greek Orthodox Church. The collapse of the Shah of Iran witnessed the overthrow of both the Shah and Western culture. Hitler did the same in Germany, he destroyed the post WWI Parliament and the Church.

        Vladimir Lenin’s approach to revolution built around a tight knit and concealed cabal of revolutionaries. This idea separated from the Menshevik theories which embraced anarchist theories of revolution. Lenin rejected the anarchist and decentralist leanings of the Mensheviks, establishing a covert revolutionary elite to seize power. Trotsky, by contrast, remained more loyal to the original soviet model: workers’ councils governing through direct delegation. Lenin Marxist ideology emphasized the role of the proletariat in overthrowing capitalism and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat. Whereas Troskii, being at heart a Menshevik supported “All Power to the Soviets” way to achieve political power and rule of government – at least till he sat as the Head of State. Lenin and Troskii used specific strategies, such as forming alliances with other revolutionary groups and leveraging the discontent of soldiers and workers, to successfully overthrow the Provisional Government. Stalin would employ intra-Bolshevik alliances to expel Troskii as the heir of Lenin.

        The simplistic narrative of the Gospels – a story of Santa Claus coming to town lies told to children.  Religious belief systems, no different than Stalin’s and Hitler’s propaganda lies told to their Party “believers”.  The church persecution of “Xtian heretics” — no different than Stalin’s show trials of Bolshevik leaders whose opinions threatened the stability of Stalin’s One Man dictatorship.

        Or Hitler’s, the “Night of the Long Knives,” purge which executed several leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the Brown Shirts, as well as other political adversaries.  The SA, led by Ernst Röhm, instrumental in Hitler’s rise to power, but by 1934, their increasing power and Röhm’s ambitions posed a threat to Hitler and the more conservative elements of the Nazi Party, including the military (Reichswehr) and the SS (Schutzstaffel).

        Hitler used a purge to consolidate his power, eliminate rivals, and gain the support of the military, which viewed the SA as a potential threat. The event resulted in the deaths of many SA leaders and other political opponents, solidifying Hitler’s control over the Nazi Party and the German state. The Night of the Long Knives, often seen as a turning point in the establishment of Hitler’s dictatorship.

        During the Middle Ages the Pope instituted similar purges of all heretic gnostic and Protestant believers which challenged the dominance of the church monopoly over how to understand and interpret the NT\gospels.  For example all church leaders have denounced to this very day the revelation of the Oral Torah as explained through the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s four part פרדס logic format.

        Peter Lombard (c. 1100-1160), a significant figure in medieval theology, best known for his work “Sentences” (Sententiae), which became a cornerstone of Scholastic thought. His “Sentences” – a compilation of theological opinions and teachings from earlier Church Fathers and theologians, structured in a way that facilitated debate and discussion among scholars.  The “Sentences” addressed various topics, including the nature of God, the sacraments, and the virtues.  It provided a systematic approach to theology that encouraged critical thinking and analysis.

        Gratian, who lived around 1140, a prominent medieval scholar and jurist, best known for his work in canon law. He often referred to by many catholics as the “Father of Canon Law”, due to his significant contributions to the development of ecclesiastical legal systems in the Catholic church.  His most notable work – the “Decretum Gratiani.”  A comprehensive compilation of canon law that organized and harmonized the various legal texts and decrees which accumulated over the years. This work, pivotal in establishing a systematic approach to canon law and served as a foundational text for later legal scholars and the development of church law.  

        Gratian’s “Decretum” addressed various topics, including the authority of the church, the nature of sin, and the administration of sacraments. Gratian’s ‘Decretum’ shaped the Church’s legal framework and remained a foundational text in canon law and theology for centuries. His work laid the groundwork for subsequent developments in both canon law and civil law.

        Saint Albert the Great, another significant figure in the development of medieval philosophy and science.   Albertus Magnus, a mentor to Thomas Aquinas at the University of Paris. His influence on Aquinas helped shape the latter’s integration of Aristotelian philosophy with Xtian theology.  He played a crucial role in reintroducing Aristotelian philosophy to the Xtian intellectual tradition.

        Albertus sought to reconcile Aristotle’s ideas with Xtian doctrine, emphasizing the compatibility of faith and reason.  Often regarded as one of the first to systematically study the natural world. His integration of Aristotelian philosophy with Xtian theology influenced not only his students, like Aquinas, but also the broader development of Western philosophy and science. His work in biology, mineralogy, and metaphysics, all of which were deeply empirical for the time viewed as a bridge between the ancient philosophy and the rediscovered ancient Greek logic philosophies in the 10th Century.

        Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274): Perhaps the most famous Scholastic philosopher and theologian, Aquinas – best known for his works “Summa Theologica” and “Summa Contra Gentiles.” He sought to reconcile faith and reason, drawing heavily on Aristotelian philosophy.  

        This is Aquinas’s most famous work, structured as a comprehensive guide to theology. It addresses various theological questions, including the existence of God, the nature of man, and moral principles. The work is notable for its systematic approach and use of Aristotelian logic.  

        Summa Contra Gentiles, Aquinas defends the Xtian faith against non-Xtian philosophies, particularly those of Islam and Judaism. It emphasizes the rational basis of faith and aims to demonstrate the compatibility of reason and revelation.  Its failure to address the 4 part inductive reasoning logic of Oral Torah ultimately proves the propaganda half truths of church theology.

        Aquinas, by stark contrast drew heavily on the works of Aristotle rather than rabbi Akiva.  The latter views the Talmud compared to the warp/weft threads of a loom. Where דרוש ופשט interpret T’NaCH prophetic mussar and interpret the kvanna of Aggadic stories. While רמז וסוד conceal as the foundation of time oriented commandments express through both Torah commandments and Talmudic halachot. Aquinas consciously chose and integrated Aristotelian philosophy within the fabric of Xtian doctrine. He introduced concepts such as the “Five Ways” to demonstrate the existence of God, arguments based on observation and reason based upon Greek philosophy. And the Xtian Muslim dogma of Universal monotheism.

        Aristotle’s static logic, ideal for constructing bridges. Hence Aquinas prioritized ancient Greek logic as ideal to support catholic dogmatism and Papal Bulls. Fluid\dynamic inductive reasoning/law where opposing prosecutor and defense lawyers rely exclusively upon previous judicial precedents to support pro & con opinions, hardly served the interests of a Vatican bible dictatorship. All three—Church, Stalin, Hitler—feared epistemological rivals: alternative systems of truth and authority. Like Stalinist “confessions” under torture, medieval inquisitions produced fabricated heresies to maintain a monopoly over “truth.”

        Aquinas, known for his development of the concept of ancient Greek ‘natural law’.  Which posits that moral principles best understood through human reason and inherent in the nature of human beings.  His method involved posing Socratic-Plato questions, presenting objections, and then providing answers, which became a hallmark of Scholastic methodology.

        Suppression of heretical beliefs and movements that challenged Vatican authority and interpretation of Xtian substitute theology doctrine included church denial of the Oral Torah revelation at Horev. Rabbi Akiva’s 4 part inductive logic system “replaced” by Aristotle’s 3 part syllogism of deductive logic.  The latter shaped the church narrative. Logos (Greek abstraction) vs. Dibur or Torah SheB’al Peh (Oath alliance active remembrance of the oaths sworn by Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov.), which the church fathers violently denounce. In 1242 the Pope ordered the public burning of all Talmudic manuscripts within the whole of France.

        The church defined heresy as beliefs or practices that deviated from established doctrine dogma and Vatican Bulls. Groups such as the Cathars and Waldensians, and of course Jews, labeled as cursed heretics for their stubborn stiff-necked alternative interpretations of Xtianity; Jews who viewed the NT as a Roman fraud, utterly despised by being impoverished through taxation without representation and thrown into ghetto gulags for multiple Centuries – פרדס inductive reasoning, compares to mentioning aloud the name of Lord Voldemort.

        Established in the 12th century, the Inquisition formalized systematic oppression into a Nazi-like system – wherein the catholic thought police identified, prosecuted and slaughtered “heretics”. It involved pre-decided judicial investigations, trials, employed to conceal satanic human torture.  The most infamous of these the notorious war-crimes: Spanish Inquisition.  Begun in 1478, targeting Jews, Muslims, and Protestant reformers.

        Suppression of heretical beliefs and movements that challenged Vatican authority and interpretation of Xtian doctrine, specifically included church denial of the Oral Torah revelation at Horev. Which also laid the foundation for Stalin’s later show trials in the 1930s. 

        Rabbi Akiva’s 4 part inductive logic system, Xtian replacement theology” prioritized and emphasized both Paul’s ‘original sin’ theology and later Aristotle’s 3 part syllogism of deductive logic, and denounced Jewish Oral Torah as non existent.  This proverbial ostrich burying head in sand cowardice, such tuma pusillanimity shapes the church narratives to this very day.  

        The church classically defined heresy, prior to the French Revolution, as beliefs or practices that deviated and challenged the church dictate. Groups such as the Cathars and Waldensians, labeled as heretics for their alternative interpretations of both bible & Xtianity. Many groups other than these specific particulars utterly rejected the church Vatican monopoly – authority and power – to solely interpret the intent of both bible and church dogma.  The Inquisition prosecution of heretics involved quasi-investigations, trials, and often torture punishments, resulting in execution. 

        The Gospel of John, written in Greek. The earliest known manuscripts of the Gospel of john include fragments such as the Rylands Library Papyrus P52, which dates to around 125 CE. This fragment, the oldest known manuscript of any part of the New Testament and contains a few verses from John 18. Other significant manuscripts, like Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus, date from the 4th century CE and include the entire text of the Gospel.

        The early Church Fathers, who were primarily Greek and Latin speakers, recognized the Greek text as the authoritative version. They often cited it in their writings, which supports the Rylands Library Papyrus P52, and contributes to the perception that the john gospel was originally composed in Greek. During this period of the Roman empire Greek served as the lingua franca – the medium of communication between peoples of different languages.

        The Hellenistic themes of pre-existent divinity and hypostatic union present significant theological challenges when compared to the foundational principles of revelation as outlined in the Torah, particularly the events at Sinai. Pre-Existent Divinity, this concept suggests that certain divine beings or aspects of divinity existed before the creation of the world. In Hellenistic thought, this often refers to the idea of a divine Logos or intermediary that existed alongside God before the creation of the universe. In Xtian theology, this Greek concept, reflected in the belief in the pre-existence of Christ, seen as the divine Word (Logos) that was with God and was God (John 1:1).

        While some early Church Fathers, like Papias, mentioned a possible ‘Hebrew Gospel’, they did not specifically attribute this to john. The notion of a Hebrew Gospel has been discussed in the context of the early Christian community’s use of different languages and texts. However, there no manuscript exists that definitively supports this revisionist history narrative. Most of the early references to such texts, compare to church blood libel slanders – indirect and often speculative. The lack of concrete manuscript evidence has led many scholars to view the idea of a Hebrew Gospel of John as most base revisionist history. The Greek Gospel of John, with no reliable Hebrew precedent, confirms the Roman-Hellenistic theological trajectory—not an indigenous Semitic prophecy.

        The absence of a Hebrew manuscript or even substantial references to it in early Christian writings further proves this as just another blood libel lie. The theological themes in the Gospel of John, such as the Logos (Word) and the divinity of Christ, align more closely with Hellenistic thought than Hebrew thought which totally repudiate it. Attempts by Xtians in this Century to declare that Logos means “ben” or “JeZeus” amounts to creating their own ‘Oral Torah way’ to interpret the NT, while denying the existence of the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev.

        The church’s persecution of heresy did not merely target political dissent—it waged wars against competing systems of legal and judicial reasoning vs. legislative statute law dictates made by tyrants or non elected bureaucrats. The Jewish Oral Torah, whose revelatory authority at Horev, rooted in inductive logic and oaths precedent active remembrance of the Avot; this judicial common law fundamentally threatened the Vatican’s imposed monopoly over its Pravda – truth. Replacing Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס framework with Aristotle’s deductive syllogism, the Church attempted to implode T’NaCH and Talmudic common law judicial legalism. That actively shapes and influences the cultures and customs which defines Jewish identity as a people of the chosen Cohen nation.

        The battle over heresy, never merely about doctrine—rather, a battle over interpretive sovereignty. The church’s erasure of the Oral Torah, its violent rejection of the פרדס legal judicial legislative review, and its dogmatic substitution of Greek metaphysics, all point to a broader imperial strategy: the silencing of Sinai. Just as Stalin erased rivals and Hitler purged the SA, the Vatican constructed a theological police state—burning the Talmud, ghettoizing Jews, and replacing the oath alliance conscious remembrance of the Avot through the tefillah from the Torah kre’a shma, the church intentionally sought to implode Horev replaced by the empire of Rome. That war on revelation still echoes in every attempt to retranslate the Gospel into Hebrew, to resurrect ‘Logos’ as ‘Ben,’ and to pass fiction as prophecy.”

        The Torah commandment to uproot Canaanite cultures reflects not cruelty but covenantal mercy (מידת רחום)—a national immunization against cultural apostasy and idolatry. The second commandment warns against assimilating into societies that reject the Horev revelation, whether ancient Canaanites or modern ideological empires like Rome and Mecca. Failure to uproot the ancient Canaanites directly threatened the 2nd Sinai commandment not to follow the cultures and customs of peoples who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai and Horev. The peoples of both Xtianity and Islam reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai and Horev. Hence the church sought to implode and cause the People of Israel to forget the Oral Torah just as did the assimilated Tzeddukim who sought to transform Jerusalem into a Greek polis.

        Dead ends A Poem by Coyote Poetry  Time for all of us to think and do the right things. Before it is too late for us and nature.  Please don’t allow Israel/ USA to erase a people ( Palestine.). Murder of cities and people. The greatest sin. Men can do.                  Dead ends..

        Palestine ceased to exist as a UN protectorate territory when Israel won its National Independence by Nakba defeating 5 Arab Armies invaded the newly declared Jewish state of Israel.

        This pie in the sky song of revisionist history ignores that all Arab countries Universally rejected UN 181. Do you even know what that Resolution was about? Arab rejected the Balfour Declaration by which the League of Nations carved up the defunct and defeated Ottoman Greater Syrian empire and awarded mandates to France in Syria and Lebanon and to Britain in present day Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Kuwait. The latter known as the “Palestine Mandate”. Palestine not an Arab word, Arabs cannot even pronounce the letter P in their language!

        Arabs reject Jewish self determination in the Middle East. Just that simple. No Arab ever would embrace the name Palestinian during the entire period of the British Mandate. Only in 1964 did the Egyptian born Yasser Arafat embrace the name Palestine with the establishment of his PLO terrorist organization. The Palestine Charter of Arafat’s PLO did not condemn the Jordanian rule over Samaria which it rebranded as “West Bank”. Nor did it denounce the Egyptian rule over Gaza! It openly condemned ’48 Israel.

        You want to make the Palestinian issue into a religious belief system, that’s your choice. But this revisionist history compares to the Xtian and Muslim basic theologies of Monotheism. Which God do they worship? Such classic pie in the sky fairy tales of some Universal God… what a load of shit. On par with the lies which Goyim parents spew out to their young children about Santa Claus.

        In similar vein Arab propaganda promotes the travesty of Israeli settlements in Samaria and Gaza today! America formed its original 13 colonies to the vast land from Sea to Shining Sea, built through settlements…American settlements perhaps the greatest success story in the last 250 years!

        Liberal kapo Jews utterly abhorred by Israelis. Why? The tone presented in this text below—despite its sharp rebuke and contempt for diaspora Liberal Judaism—from my perspective, represents an interpretation of tohor middat haRachamim (pure attribute of compassion).

        “Open rebuke simply better than hidden love.” – Mishlei 27:5 The tone seeks only a cactus like external surface prick, in order to frame the spiritual interior meat of רחום; the rejection of sentimentalism, and the prioritization of a deep commitment to the collective soul of Am Yisrael, the chosen Cohen People. An impassion call for t’shuva. A warning that assimilation and intermarriage, this Av tuma avoda zarah, it opens our People to Torah curses, like the plagues which afflicted Par’o.

        This tochacha/rebuke likewise calls upon the tohor midda of חנון, the כלל to the dedication of defined tohor middot. Rather than limit itself to the דיוק פרט of רחום. Which ironically embraces the philosophy of Rambam, who taught in his Moreh, that the more a Man can say that which a subject “is not”, the greater clarity that person gains to understand the positive aspects of an abstract undefinable idea.

        “Tikkun Olam”, serves as a popular concept primarily associated with Reform Judaism and lacks influence in Israel. In the U.S. and other diaspora communities, Reform Judaism’s embrace of tikkun olam has become a cornerstone—seen through philanthropic work, social justice activism, and universalist values. This highlights the divide between Israelis and G’lut Jewry. David Friedman’s 2016 comment calling J Street members “far worse than kapos,” implies that liberal Jews are actively betraying their people

        Many Israelis see Liberal Judaism as alien to Israeli reality, where Jewish identity and community structures provide intrinsic meaning (e.g., one commenter said Reform Judaism is “unnecessary in Israel” because secular Jewish life already satisfies that need) . Turning “tikkun olam” into a universalist, politically progressive doctrine, directly compares to the Xtian and Muslim Monotheism Universal God avoda zarah violation of the 2nd Sinai commandment.

        American Reform leaders have repeatedly said that diaspora Jews must oppose “misguided” Israeli policies, including regarding ultra‑Orthodox influence and Arab‑Israeli democracy. They totally ignore the vision of political zionism which strives to achieve Jewish self-determination within the borders of a Jewish Middle East country. PM Sharon permitted Palestinian self-determination and free elections in 2005. He risks Jewish civil war to give Arabs a stake in the self-determination action.

        Jews abroad who joined with Arab anti-Israel propaganda, protests, and violence post Oct7th have undermined Israel’s sovereignty and assisted the UN and ICC/ICJ efforts to dismantle the Jewish state or at the least impose a foreign cease-fire wherein Israel surrendered to the Gaza surprise attack of Oct 7th. The Israeli Chief Rabbinate maintains that Reform Judaism is “uprooting Judaism” and refuses to recognize its conversions, marriages, burials. Official discrimination and cultural marginalization casts g’lut assimilated Jewry unto the dhimmi gutter. Not because Israelis hate foreign Jewish devils. But because alien Jews living in exile suffer from a cultural gulf that far exceeds the span of the Atlantic Ocean.

        Given Israel’s ongoing security crises and existential threats, public dissent by diaspora Jews—like U.S. Reform leaders urging “opposition to misguided policies”—perceived as political interference meant to weaken Israeli resolve . For many Israelis, it feels like these outsiders place themselves above or even undermining Israel’s sovereignty.

        Zionist ideology historically devalued diaspora life—seeing true Jewish life as rooted in Israel, not scattered and assimilated abroad. Modern national‑Zionist Israelis often view diaspora liberalism as a cultural betrayal, a manifestation of exile that nationalist Zionism sought to overcome. Israelis live in a constant state of preparedness due to mandatory service, violence, and geopolitical precariousness. Diaspora Jews, especially in Western countries, often experience minority life in pluralistic democracies, focused on rights, social justice, and integration. When diaspora criticisms mirror Western progressive rhetoric, many Israelis see this as tone-deaf at best, and existential threat at worst.

        Times of Israel reported Ambassador Friedman calling J Street members “far worse than kapos” for supporting a two-state solution—a sign he views their dissent as voluntary betrayal, darker than coerced collaboration. Kapo diaspora liberals have abandoned Israel’s endangered community during its darkest hours. This psychological echo of the Holocaust-era betrayal wherein g’lut Jews choose Western moral comfort over solidarity with a state under siege, causes Israelis to hold these kapo Jews in complete and utter contempt. Jews in foreign countries calling Israel a Nazi state, they expect that Israelis would not respond with utter revulsion?!

        The gulf that separates two completely different cultures and peoples band-aids like Kotel arrangements, communal dialogues and religious inclusion amount to tits on a boar hog. G’lut Jews simply not part of the Israeli chosen Cohen people.

        The Talmud functions as both a guide & model to establish legal systems within the Jewish state. G’lut Jewish racist prejudice limits the Talmud strictly and only as an archaic religion of out-dated and out-classed Orthodox fundamentalism. The Liberal “interpretation” of ancient texts which that alien liberal religion holds both T’NaCH and Talmud in disdain and contempt, emphasizes the cultural gap which separates Jews from non-Jewish Jews. Their gross declaratin: ‘Berlin as their Jerusalem’, that absolute abomination never forgotten nor forgiven; it perhaps best qualifies as Liberal Judaism’s distorted interpretation of Chesed. But such “chesed” qualifies merely as a tuma treif bird; an idea that does not fly with Israelis.

        The term “kapo”, historically, a loaded term that refers to Jewish prisoners appointed by Nazis to oversee other Jewish prisoners in concentration camps. Such as removing the gold fillings of Jews slaughtered in the gas chambers. Using this term as a description of liberal Jews, suggests a deep-seated anger and repulsive reaction towards screaming liberal Jews shouting “Not in our Name”, following the Oct 7th abomination.

        This utter detestation and complete revulsion of g’lut Jewry, it reflects a broader sentiment among many Israelis. We feel that liberal Jewish critiques of Israel, they joins hands with our enemies, and seek to undermine our country’s security and legitimacy. This makes Liberal g’lut Jews no different than Arab bomb makers. A huge and significant cultural and ideological divide, much larger than the Atlantic ocean separates Israelis and diaspora Jews like oil and water. Particularly, those Jews who identify with Liberal or Reform movements. This cultural divide stems from differing experiences, values, and interpretations of Jewish identity and responsibility. Reform Jewish mothers never have to bury their children after putting them on a school bus.

        The Talmud, serves together with the T’NaCH and Siddur – as foundational texts which establish the working model for judicial common-law Federal courtrooms within the Israeli Republic. Israelis perceive the T’NaCH, aggadah, and midrashim as the basis to derive and interpret the ethical prophetic mussar frameworks foundations of our Republic/nation-state of Israel.

        This fundamental difference of priority and emphasis, it underscores the huge gulf which divides and separates Israeli from g’lut Jewry. The latter tuma-Jews choose and prefer to live in foreign lands. Liberal Reform tuma-Jews prioritize modern interpretations and social justice concerns and practices expressed through alien Goyim cultures and customs. Their attempts to stamp those alien cultures and customs upon tohor-Israelis, directly compares to the Hanukkah Civil War where the corrupt tuma-Tzeddukim likewise attempted to turn Jerusalem into a Greek Polis and cause our people to forget the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva 4 part inductive reasoning Oral Torah Jewish genius … replaced by foreign ancient Greek philosophy, like Aristotle’s 3 part deductive logic/syllogism model.

        Liberal Reform tuma-Judaism slandered both the T’NaCH and Talmud and referred to both as archaic. Therefore their attempt to impose their corrupt, alien ethical model-monopoly; their repeated attempts to dictate, as if liberal tuma-Jews compare to the Av-tuma UN, how foreign tuma-Jews in distant lands, assimilated cultures, and inter-married customs of avoda zarah; their repeated attempts to dictate how to interpret and understand, these not just these basic and fundamental Primary source Jewish texts — that serve to shape and form Jewish culture and custom as a unique chosen Cohen people.

        The arrogance of their presumption seeks to forcibly impose a One State Arab-Jewish democracy upon Zionism as the best ideal! Liberal Jews abhorred Zionism during the closing window of opportunity in the 1920s before Hitler. The British White Paper and FDR’s closure of US ports to Jews sealed the fate of Shoah Jewry in Europe.

        Liberal Judaism interpretations apply strictly and only to tuma-g’lut Jews. Their assimilated and intermarried debauchery, merits nothing but utter contempt within the borders of the “Jewish Torah Constitutional Republic”, which a new generation of political Zionist Israelis, seeks to achieve Jewish self-determination within the borders of Israel – and actualize the k’vanna of the Balfour Declaration which launched political Zionism in 1917.

        Chaim Weizmann publicly said in 1906: “Any deflection from Palestine was—well, a form of idolatry.” He emphasized that only by building on the ground in Palestine could a Jewish homeland be born—and that Jews elsewhere must support colonization and immigration. The phrase “Jews of the world, where are you?” fits the tone of Weizmann’s broader rhetorical stance—an urgent summons to global Jewry to move beyond political promises and take tangible, on-the-ground action.

        Weizmann repeatedly challenged Jews in the diaspora to support immigration and nation-building in Palestine—telling Balfour, “We had Jerusalem when London was a marsh,” and warning of waves of Jewish refugees seeking refuge.

        Av tuma Rabbi Stephen S. Wise pressured President Franklin D. Roosevelt to maintain strict U.S. immigration quotas and opposed changing the laws to admit more Jewish refugees. Wise through the public voice of the American Jewish Congress, the World Jewish Congress, supported Roosevelt. He cowardly refused to publicly challenge FDR’s White Paper policy. Wise emphasized the need to fight antisemitism in America rather than offer American shores as a safety life-line to European Jewry. In 1938, under Wise’s influence, Jewish institutions decided not to back legislation that would have loosened immigration laws to allow more Jewish refugees into the U.S.—explicitly agreeing “no Jewish organization would… sponsor a bill which would… alter the immigration laws”.

        Between 1933–1945, only a fraction of the allowed immigration quota for German and Axis countries was utilized. Estimates suggest nearly 200,000 quota spots remained unused—lives that could have been saved. Jewish Liberal Reform leaders like Wise directly compare to Pope Pius XII – both Av tuma corruption chose “quiet diplomacy” and maintaining alignment with the Roosevelt administration over public advocacy for Holocaust refugees.

        Historians like Rafael Medoff emphasize that Wise’s cautious approach—supported by his close relationship with FDR—slowed or blocked rescue efforts during crucial years of the Holocaust. Wise also prioritized Zionist aims in Palestine, despite the 1939 British White Paper! He claimed to favor immigration only to Palestine, but Reform American Jews never made aliyah to Israel in large numbers. He discouraged Jewish groups from lobbying Congress or mounting public pressure to open U.S. borders to Jewish refugees.

        Av tuma Abraham Geiger, often called the “father of Reform Judaism”—openly declared “Berlin is our Jerusalem”. This phrase expressed a sweeping theological and cultural perversion. It reflects a sentiment that debased liberal Jews prioritized foreign cultural or secular identities. Reform Judaism rejected the traditional Jewish longing for a return to Zion. Instead, it embraced the idea of Jewish integration into its host nation—here, Germany. Geiger’s declaration made clear that Germany was their spiritual and communal center, not Palestine. Reform Judaism worships the American and French revolutions as their Gods. This religion of avoda zarah established citizens rights rather than serfs as their ‘human rights’ Nicene Creed. Reform congregations were called “Temples”; services conducted in German; prayers toward Jerusalem omitted from their gutted prayer-books. As one Reform leader explained, their allegiance lay primarily with their birth nation, not an ancient homeland.

        But Israel does not compare to the feudal Confederate South, with its agricultural based economy; dependent upon slave labor! Jews living abroad, their opinions have parity with Americans living in Russia! Rebuke accusations of inauthenticity or a lack of commitment to Jewish heritage immediately come to mind whenever Liberal Jews denounce Israel across University campuses across the US and Europe.

        Liberal Jews abhor the sealing of the T’NaCH, Talmud, Siddur and Midrashim. These ignorant amaratzim preach a Xtianized morality from their assimilated pulpits and soap-boxes. Their pie in the sky Top-down moralism of the Arab-Israeli conflict utterly ignores and discounts the impact of terrorism on Israeli perceptions and responses. The possibility that the Talmud serves as the interpretive lens for understanding the Mishnah, reinforcing the importance of traditional common law פרדס scholarship, used to shape modern Jewish common-law and ethics – completely and totally alien to this liberal tuma-Jewish minority populations in foreign countries.
