Speaking from Yemen, on an official visit to the country, Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) praised Hizbullah terrorists shortly after a lethal Katyusha rocket attack on northern Israel that killed 11 people. Abbas told reporters that the Hizbullah war has reawakened the Arab world's honor and is an example for others to follow.
Israel continues to demonstrate it idiocy by choosing sides amongst the Arabs. Abbas was Afraftat's closest advisor for decades. He was responsible for planning and executing Munich and Karine A. His doctorate is in Holocaust denial. His position is no different than Arafat, Hamas, Hizbollah, Iran, Syria, The Moslem Brotherhood or Al Queda. The tactics of exactly how and when to execute Israel may differ but the ultimate goal of all is the annihilation of the Jewish State.
The PLO was organized in 1964, when the Jordan was in illegal control of the West Bank and Egypt illegally controlled Gaza. Their charter has remained the same since their inception, the destruction of the Jewish State.

I strongly suggest people read the well researched book, "From Time Immemorial" by Joan Peters. It is neither politically correct or politically expedient but it is totally accurate. Her initial research grant came form Moslem sources as she set out to write an anti Israeli document. Her seven years of meticulous archival research led her to write her expose of the lies that surround the Jewish and Arab presence in Palestine and Israel.
Also suggest looking at Mark Twain's account of the Holy land in his work, "Innocents Abroad". Some extrapolated portions of chapter 46 "... it truly is monotonous and uninviting, and there is no sufficient reason for describing it as being
otherwise.
Of all the lands there are for dismal scenery, I think Palestine must be the prince. The hills
are barren, they are dull of color, they are unpicturesque in shape. The valleys are unsightly deserts fringed with a feeble vegetation that has an expression about it of being sorrowful and
despondent. The Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee sleep in the midst of a vast stretch of hill and plain wherein the eye rests upon no pleasant tint, no striking object, no soft picture dreaming in a purple haze or mottled with the shadows of the clouds. Every outline is harsh, every feature is distinct, there is no perspective--distance works no
enchantment here. It is a hopeless, dreary, heart-broken land.
Palestine is desolate and unlovely. And why should it be otherwise? Can
the curse of the Deity beautify a land?
Palestine is no more of this work-day world. It is sacred to poetry and
tradition--it is dream-land.
Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes.

To the Jews, Palestine was our Homeland and Israel is our State.
To the Arabs Palestine was an economic opportunity for a higher standard of living than they could attain from their fellow Arabs.
To present day Arabs and Moslems, Israel is a reminder that they are bankrupt.

Historical Survey of Israeli Leaders: Will Rockets Fall?

 By Ezra HaLevi [Arutz 7] 

Israel National TV's Yechezkel Lang compiled their
sentiments and predictions. 

Group A  - No

 All you do all day is threaten that there will be
Katyusha rockets landing in Ashkelon. Would you mind
telling me why there are no rockets fired from Aqaba
to Eilat?"

Foreign Minister Labor MK Shimon Peres

Knesset minutes September 9, 1993 

We're familiar with the Likud's horror stories. They
promised us Katyushas from Gaza, but Gaza has been under
the primary control of the Palestinian Authority for more
than a year now, and there hasn't been a single Katyusha.

Prime Minister, Labor MK Yitzchak Rabin

Jerusalem Post Jun 20, 1995

 A particularly favored line is that the Likud's dire
predictions of Gaza turning into another Lebanon, with
Katyusha rockets hitting Ashkelon,have proved unrealistic
and plain silly.
Jerusalem Post Editorial Aug 11, 1995 

The purpose of the Disengagement Plan is to reduce terror
as much as possible, and grant Israeli citizens the maximum
level of security...These steps will increase security for
the residents of Israel and relieve the pressure on the IDF
and security forces in fulfilling the difficult tasks they
are faced with. The Disengagement Plan is meant to grant
maximum security and minimize friction between Israelis
and Palestinians.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon

Herzliya Conference December 18, 2003

 Before the withdrawal from Lebanon, the Intelligence
Directorate also threatened us with Katyushas reaching
Hadera and we see what actually happened. I estimate, and
my estimate is just as valid as those that threaten us with
horrors, that after we leave the Gaza Strip, terrorism
will decrease, not increase.

Former Mossad Head, Labor MK Dani Yatom

Maariv, Feb. 5, 2004 

I anticipate that the level of terrorism will drop after the 

disengagement and after pragmatic Arab forces take control.

Defense Minister, Kadima MK Shaul Mofaz

Arutz Sheva Jul 02, 2004 

We will find a full answer to the Kassams without crossing
lines.

IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz

Speech at Bar Ilan University Mar 24, 2006

 =======================================

 Group B - Yes

If we cut and run, Gaza will be taken over by terror
organizations... Gaza's squares shall be transformed
into launching platforms of Katyushas toward Ashkelon
... The only way to defeat terrorism is by controlling
its bases.

Likud MK Ariel Sharon Maariv, June 12, 1992 

"Every time there is a wave of terrorism, all sorts
of 'experts'say that we should unilaterally get out
of Gaza. If we do so,the Gaza Strip will become a
cancerous thorn of terrorism, 1,000 times more dangerous
than it is now. What will we do when katyushas
are fired from Biet Yachie on Ashkelon and from
Biet Hanoun on Sderot?"
Tourism Minister and Moledet Leader MK Rehavam Ze'evi

Knesset Minutes, March 1993

 You have to tell the citizens of Israel how you plan
to prevent terrorist attacks from the Gaza Strip. How will
you prevent Katyusha attacks on Ashkelon?"

Likud MK Moshe Katsav Jerusalem Post, May 24, 1994

 We must take into account that after withdrawal, Ashkelon,
a major Israeli city, will be within the effective range
of Kassam rockets. In thefuture, when sea and airports
are built in Gaza and we will have no control,they will
have Katyushas with a longer range that can also reach
Kiryat Gat or southern Ashdod.

Major General (Res.) Yakov Amidror Maariv, Feb. 5, 2004

 If the Disengagement plan is carried out, Kassam
rocket attacks will be the lot of cities from Ashkelon
to Ofakim [also inside
Israel], and will become a daily occurrence.

Yisrael Beiteinu Head, MK Avigdor Lieberman

July 5, 2004

 After the withdrawal, Kassam rockets will rain
on Ashkelon.

NRP Head, MK Effie Eitam Kol Israel, Israel Radio

Feed The Enemy?

Normally an army will attempt to limit or cut off an enemy's food supply.

The Hamas government was elected democratically by a majority

of the Arab population of Gaza, Yehuda and Shomron.

The majority of the Arab populace of those areas is in favor of utilizing

suicide murderers against the Jews.

The Jews have to deal with the realities of bad choices and leaders

created by their political system.

The Arabs ought to be held to the same accountability.

It is not the responsibility of the State of Israel to ship basic

necessities to the Arabs. If their elected leaders were capable of

governance,they would have stockpiled basic necessities before

launching a war.

But, we are dealing with fools here. Jews on one side, Arabs on the other.

The barbaric Israel has shipped the following into war stricken Gaza.

Personally, it should have been given to its own poverty stricken

citizens or shipped to Darfur, where other innocents are being

tormented by Moslems.

Over 15 containers and 40 trucks containing:

- 520 tons of various grains

- 280 tons of milk and meat products

- 360 tons of fruit

- 400,000 liters of diesel

- 100,000 liters of gasoline

- 125,000 tons of cooking gas

It is important to note that the water and electricity supply from 

Israel to the Gaza Strip remains uninterrupted.

WHY WE DON’T MIX MILK & MEAT

WHY WE DON’T MIX MILK & MEAT

Bamidbar/Numbers Ch.11-- Parshat Behalosecha 5766

Bamidbar, dibbur-speech or dvar—word/thing/concept

The ancient Jews had been encamped at the foot of Mt Sinai for about one year. During this time, they experienced the revelation of the Creator, the Asseros Hadibros/Ten Comandments, the Golden Calf and the institution of Yom Kippur/the Day of Atonement (AtOneMent). They built a Mishkan/Tabernacle that would serve as a vehicle for Hashem’s (THE Creator) intense manifestation & communion. The Mishkan has been dedicated as a connection between infinite and finite. The Children of Israel break camp and head into the desert toward the Promised Land flowing with milk and honey.

Three days into the journey and they begin complaining! G*d sends an eradicating fire to burn out the cancerous manifestation. Almost immediately, and in the exact same location, the people, egged on by the Egyptian rabble tag a longs, the same Egyptians who had enticed the Children of Israel into believing that Moses had died on Mt Sinai and who convinced the Jews of the need for a Golden Calf, complain for meat to eat and for five foods, cucumbers, bitter melon, onion, leek and garlic. Strange request. They had manna to eat. Manna tasted like anything a person wanted, even meat. The only items that manna could not taste like were cucumbers, bitter melon, onion, leek and garlic. Reb Shimon bar Yochai, the ancient father of Jewish Mysticism, states that these five foods are bad for a nursing woman. The problem with taking this statement at face value, is while these foods are bad for nursing mothers, either because they impart a bad taste to her milk or create gaseous milk, why should everyone be deprived? Women have always nursed their babies even though these five foods are readily available. Why not have manna have the ability to impart these flavors but have nursing mothers refrain from having these tastes imparted into the manna?

Manna had the ability to taste like whatever one desired. If so, then why should people complain about the taste of meat? The manna was the original backpacking provision. No bulky containers to shlepp, a fresh supply readily available each day, preventing spoilage. The only problem with manna is that the taste manifested as one ate. For example, if a person wanted meat they had to concentrate on the taste of meat as they ate the manna. Unfortunately, what occurred was that people diverted their attention as they put the manna into their mouths, causing the manna to taste like all sorts of non-intended items. This phenomenon is the answer to both why the manna could not taste like these five vegetables and why people craved meat.

The people complain as individuals and then as family units then finally as a whole nation. Moses in turn complains to G*d. With rather poetic language, he tells G*d that they are your children. You asked me to carry them in my bosom and to care for them just as a wet nurse would care for someone’s babies.

The common denominator in milk and meat is blood, more specifically the phrase ”because life is in the blood”.

The request for meat and these five veggies is not a dietary request. It is a demand to refuse Hashem’s desire to nurture us. It is a demand to have Judaism-Lite, instead of Judaism’s Light. It is a desire to do less instead of more. It is a demand to refuse life and embrace death instead.

In order to consume meat one must first kill the living animal and them either remove its’ lifeblood and in the case of poultry to (also) cover the blood.

Milk on the other hand is the result of blood becoming life. A woman’s milk ducts are fed by her blood supply. The blood converts into milk and is available upon demand by the nursling.

G*d has commanded us to choose life. When we left Mt Sinai, we chose less life, more death.

Further hints relevant to the concept of Hashem nurturing us as a woman nurtures a baby:

#1 Eldad and Medad, the two prophets in this week’s scenarios.

Dad in Hebrew means nipple or teat. Eldad means to the nipple, Medad means from the nipple. The nipple is the point of contact by which an infant draws milk/sustenance.

#2 The golden ark that housed the tablets that Moses brought down from Sinai. These Tablets had the word of G*d written upon them. The Ark was crowned with two golden cherubim (angels) whose faces were of young innocent children. It was from between these two cherubim that the Voice of Transmission was heard. The ark had golden rings attached to it and golden overlay poles inserted into the rings in order to facilitate transport of the ark. The staves remained positioned within the rings at all times. The Talmud states that in the Mishkan, the two staves protruded through the separation curtain from the Holy of Holies like two breasts.

ISRAEL--That shitty little country OR Why Israel is poised to be the dominate world power if they would just stop kissing ass

After being subjugated for almost all of the last 2250 years, world Jewry regained
indepenance and autonomy in 1948. Since then the Jews have made the desert blossom
and are an amazing sucess story, except in one area. Jewish Israelis and Jewish
non-Israelis do not know how to be free people. the dynamics of slavery require
the slave to seek the slavemasters approval, even at his/her own detriment.

The Israelis control the development of electronics, communications and security and
are in the forefront of medical and acgicultural developement.


The Middle East has been growing date palms for centuries. The average
tree is about 18-20 feet tall and yields about 38 pounds of dates a
year. Israeli date trees are now yielding 400 pounds/year and are short
enough to be harvested from the ground or a short ladder.

Israel invented the drip method of irrigation and the use of black plastic mulch.

Israel the 100th smallest country, with less than 1/1000th of the
world's population, can lay claim to the following:

·                 The cell phone was developed in Israel by Israelis
working in the Israeli branch of Motorola, which has its largest
development center in Israel .

F-16's This is the largest fleet of F-16 aircraft outside of the U. S.

·                 Israel's $100 billion economy is larger than all of
its immediate neighbors combined.

airline industry's most impenetrable flight security. US officials now
look (finally) to Israel for advice on how to handle airborne security
threats.

·                 Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees
to the population in the world. Israel produces more scientific papers
per capita than any other nation by a large margin - 109 per 10,000
people -- as well as one of the highest per capita rates of patents
filed.

·                 In proportion to its population, Israel has the

Well F*** him! Even better...ignore the insignificant gnat.

Bamidbar Transforming Infinifte into Finite

JEWRUSALEM--DEEP TORAH & STUFF

Rabbi Yisroel Finman

Parshat Bamidbar

Previously, the Torah has been speaking about the sanctification of time.

Now we are looking at the sanctification of space. Bamidbar/In The Desert…

Time deals with the concepts inherent within the number seven, (seven days of the week culminating with the Shabos/Shabbat/Sabbath, seven times seven, the Sefirot Haomer period between Pesach/Passover and Shavuot/Holiday of Revelation, seven years culminating with the shmittah/sabbatical year and seven times seven years culminating with the yovel/jubilee year. Space appears to be more complex, involving the concepts within the numbers three, four, twelve (three and four multiplied by each other), seventy two and two hundred sixteen (seventy two times three).

The Sheloh Hakodesh details the application of much of these number concepts.

As a prelude to understanding why the Mishkan/Tabernacle existed a little background is needed. The Creator’s original desire was for mankind to be the vehicle for enabling the flow of infinite into the finite world. This is the meaning of The Creator’s directive to Adam to work and guard the Garden. (I believe that the actual directive was for Adam and Eve to work the garden and to guard how and what they worked in as much as the garden itself didn’t need working to produce food. I do not believe it needed guarding either. It is man who needed to work, it is ultimately mankind that falls short of governance due to a flaw in guarding how work was done. The garden remains in its intended state.) After the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, a thread of Adam and Eve’s descendants continue to be the vehicle by which infinite becomes finite. But since the world’s population grows and the number of people actively involved in the transformation process remains very limited, the forces of evil gradually supplant the forces of good in the world. Even The Creator beginning mankind again after the flood in Noah’s time does not correct the imbalance. It continues until Abraham claims the task, passes it onto his son Isaac who passes (with some serious help from his holy wife, Rivka) to Jacob.

The ancient sages are unanimous in their belief that the purpose of the enslavement in Egypt, subsequent liberation and finally the revelation on Mt. Sinai, was a re-creation of sorts of the universe. The dictates on Mt Sinai were a parallel to the dictates given to Adam in the Garden. The action of allowing a golden calf to be formed after the revelation of Mt Sinai was parallel to Adam and Eve consuming the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Had the Hebrews not messed up after Mt Sinai, the world would have been able to begin an accelerated return to the Garden. So, once it becomes obvious that the Hebrews, the descendants of Abraham, mirrored the actions of their holy progenitors, Adam and Eve, another plan B is set into action. The logic of this plan is as follows: since mankind is unable to allow the whole world to function as a sacred space, a smaller space will be needed to act as a microcosm of the universe. The Mishkan becomes the designated temporary space with the Bais Hamigdash/the Holy Temple in Jewrusalem to become the permanent sacred space.

Now that we have a brief background into why the Mishkan/Bais Hamigdash exists we can look at the application of numbers as brought down by the Sheloh Hakodesh..

There are three areas in the Mishkan and the Bais Hamigdash, the Machaneh Shechina, where only Cohanim/Jewish priests were allowed to enter, the Machaneh Leviim, where the Levites were also allowed to enter and the Machaneh Yisroel where any Jew could enter. The four sided encampment surrounding the Mishkan delineated in the beginning of the Book of Numbers was delineated with each side having one letter of G*d’s four letter name on its flag. The four walls of the city of Jerusalem that surrounded the Holy Temple paralleled this later.

The Machaneh Shechina was itself divided into three areas, the Holy of Holies where the High Priest entered only on Yom Kippur, the Heichal which contained the Menorah, The Lechem Hapanim, the golden incense alter, where action was more than yearly but less than constant, and the general area, where most of the activity took place.

The officiants in the Holy Temple were also grouped in threes, the cohanim, the levites and the ma’amdim/community representatives.

The three human groupings correspond to the three basic levels of soul mentioned in Genesis, the neshama, the ruach and the nefesh. Both the human groupings of the Holy Temple as well as the three levels of soul also correspond to the three kabalistic worlds known as Briah (creation), Yetzirah (formation) and Assiyah (action).

The twelves, representing the twelve tribes as well as the twelve months, the twelve signs of the zodiac, etc, are inherent in the Mishkan within the most public display of twelve, the Choshen Hamishpat (High Priests Breastplate) and the Lechem Hapanim (showbreads).

Each of the twelve jewels embedded in the breastplate has six facets. Twelve times six is seventy two, the number of letters in G*d’s ultimate name. Seventy two is also embedded within the four letter name of G*d. It is revealed when one permutates the name, either forward, backwards or sideways.

The three fold permutations, with each one equally the number seventy two reveals the number two hundred sixteen.

So, a question might be asked, since the Holy Temple was destroyed what happens to the process wherein humans are interacting with the cosmos as partners with The Creator in channeling the flow of infinite into finite. The process continues with the continued delineations of cohen, levi and yisroel, with the lights lit for Shabbos, Jewish holidays and Chanukah, with eating in holiness from the tables that are in the sanctified houses that have mezuzahs on their doors and from tefilin.

Just a little food for thought.
