Al Furah

B"H - Why Al Furah is called "Bedouin village" when it is in fact an illegal settlement? Why structures there are not demolished as in the Shomron? Because the law applies to all in the State of Israel?

The Core Reason For This Tragedy

B"H - The core reason for this and many other tragedies is that the banking sector in Israel is set up as an ordinary goy fractional landing system and Torah is ignored. In the Jewish financial system credit would be free and the poor would be treated humanely.

“Jewish Blood Will Not Be Ignored!”

B"H - Of course it is and will be ignored! Don't you yet learned of whom are you talking about? "The IDF is a Jewish army" and "Israel is a Jewish State" are myths. Largely empty, Zionistic propaganda.

It Is The Soldiers Who Dodge

B"H - It is not the yeshiva boys who dodge army service but the soldiers who doge Torah and Torah study. Get your priorities right! It is Hashem Who could give us peace, not the State or its IDF.

A So Called Jewish State. Ha!

B"H - A so called Jewish State that legislates specifically against its Jews and allows them to be killed is not Jewish. Even according to the Zionists' own propaganda, Israel is here to protect the Jews. But if it attacks them, what is the point in having another anti-Semitic country in the world, this time on G-d's holy Land?

Thieves

B"H - That taking out three or four rows of seats and replacing them with bedding on an airliner should cost half a million shekels is a, no, the scandal in this story. Evidently the suppliers worked on an "anything goes" budget, which means that they can be considered thieves and I would look into the nitty-gritty of kick-backs to the officials who authorized these outrageous estimates for the job.

.. And Rav. Bar-Hayim's Reply

[B"H]

Shalom ABY

Shabath is near, so very briefly:

1.       A "miracle" is not required in order to be hayav to thank HaShem for a national salvation. Proof: Purim. See TB 'Arakhin 10b. The word 'nisa' is used by the Talmud, but as we both know, no supernatural miracle took place. Nor did the salvation of Purim come about in the most kosher of manners. 

2.      From TB M'ghila 14a we see that what counts is salvation from death, or slavery. This would certainly have been the outcome in all the wars we have fought here in recent generations had we not been victorious.

3.      Hallel and 'Al HaNisim are said on Hanuka because of the victory in battle which resulted in a major change for the better in our nation's affairs. These victories, however, were not unqualified; the enemy returned and eventually regained control. Many died in those battles, such as El'azar the Macabee. 

4.      War always results in soldiers, and frequently civilians too, being killed. This is the way of the world. In only one instance, Milhemeth Midhyan (B'midhbar 31:49), do we hear that no-one was killed, which is why they came before Moshe Rabenu. According to your definition, the Allies did not win WW2.

5.      WW1 was won by the Allies, even though Germany's will was not broken. Nor was it destroyed. 

6.      I entirely agree with you that we should have destroyed our enemies on a number of occasions. I hope that one day we shall do so.

7.      Even under the worst regimes described in the T'nakh, 'Am Yisrael was always considered a sovereign people until conquered by a foreign nation and driven into Galuth.

Shabath Shalom

Feedback on Rav. Bar-Hayim's New Al HaNisimsaid Video..

B"H
- Rav Bar-Hayim, please accept a few words on your new Al HaNisimsaid video, said with great respect to your person: You are rav. to at least two of my dear friends. As I mentioned in connection with your Hallel video, I don't see a problem with the halacha you bring down. The problem is with the perception of reality to which you apply it to, with what I call the MVN, the Miraculous Victory Narrative, which I consider to be nothing more than a Zionistic propaganda piece. Here is why:

1. Miraculous? According the State's own knesset website, the so called "[The] War of Independence caused heavy Israeli losses: More than 6,000 dead including almost 4,000 soldiers - almost 1% of the total population." How can one claim a miracle under such circumstances? We could claim a miracle if no soldiers were killed, or one or ten or a hundred or even five hundred soldiers. But 6000? Sorry, no miracle there. In any case the matter is highly subjective and I don't think Mapai politicians have the authority to declare miracles.

2. Victory? Question: What is the definition of victory? Answer: The destruction of the enemy and/or at least the breaking of its will to continue with the war. As far as Israel's so called War of Independence is concerned, all of the enemies remain in place, stronger than ever and more hawkish than ever. So, where is the "victory"? True, we were not destroyed, but it is hardly a victory: Neither were they.

At 6:15 you mention a criteria, "grave danger". Aren't we in great danger every day, in the past 65 years? The answer unfortunately is yes, we are. At 9:00 you mention "miraculous salvation". In my view this perception and description of reality is just not there, it is simply Zionistic propaganda, finalized to allow the erev rav to rule over the Jews on the Land of Israel.

You mention "Jewish sovereignty". I would like you to substantiate this concept, because sorry, I don't see it. In what extent the State is "Jewish", as it claims to be? As far as the modern City of Jerusalem is concerned, it is headquarters to the most corrupt, anti-Torah, anti-Jewish establishments ever existed in our long history. Should we express gratitude for this to Hashem? My answer clearly is no, we should not do this, for the same reasons we don't thank Him for the Golden Calf.

I’ll put up this text on my blog, thetorahrevolution.

Best, Shabat shalom,

ABY
