Israeli Civil Administration capitulates

The Civil Administration capitulated to the dictates of the UN, Ezra
Nawi and Amira Hass


Yesterday night (Monday, February 20, 2012) policemen arrived at the
home of Nadia Matar of Women in Green and hung on the door an order
demanding to immediately evacuate trees on a piece of land that was
planted by Women in Green. The following was written in the order:
"Warning about the obligation to immediately evacuate land". They
added: "If you do not evacuate it by yourself by 22-2-2012 at 2:30pm,
the authorities will evacuate it and you may be charged for the fees
of their work."

A map was attached to the order. The map shows that they are talking
about the area of land in Netzer where Arabs, connected to
anti-Israeli organizations like the UN, Ezra Nawi and Amira Hass, have
been active. That area of land was till recently, according to all
maps, state land, and that is why Women in Green planted there, to
safeguard them from Arab take-over. But it seems that when there is
pressure by organizations like the UN, Ezra Nawi and a huge article in
Haarets by Amira Hass…the same area of land all of a sudden becomes
"private Arab land", the Jews become the "invaders" and they receive
eviction orders.

Women in Green leaders Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar immediately
contacted Attorney Doron Nir Zvi who sent, during the night, a letter
to the head of the Civil Adminstration, Motti Almoz, and to Attorney
Koby Avitsan of the prosecutors office at the Civil Administration,
claiming that since Women in Green has been holding on to that land
for more than 30 days, they have no right to implement evacuation
order 1472 against his clients.

This argument is of course not the main argument. The problem is much
more painful and deeper. As was written in numerous articles in Makor
Rishon, the Civil Administration is "infected" with leftism. Look, for
instance, at the Migron example, in which Arabs are pushed to claim
ownership on lands that are not theirs and in order to keep the quiet,
the Israeli authorities capitulate to the Arabs. The Civil
Administrations job is to safeguard the state lands and not to
safeguard the quiet, quiet that the Arabs use to steal the land. It is
simply outrageous that the Civil Administration can overturn the
status of lands and decide, because of outside pressure, that lands
that belong to the People of Israel, all of a sudden are declared
private Arab land!

If the pressure by anti-Israeli organizations brought the  Civil
Administration to cave in; it is important to have counter pressure.
Women in Green call upon all lovers of Israel to contact, today, the
Civil Administration and demand that they do not capitulate and do not
uproot the trees in Netzer; urging them to safeguard the lands that
belong to the Jewish People.

Fax number of Motti Almoz head of the Civil administration, 972-2-9977341

Faxes are very important. You can write in English, too.

Tomorrow, Wednesday February 22nd, at 2:30, the hour by which the
police told us we need to evacuate the trees, we will go to Netzer and
show a Jewish presence at the site. The public is invited.

Harvard, Jew Haters, Motherhood and Israel

 In the decades before the Holocaust, an evil wind blew through
academia and other elite quarters throughout the Western world. The
doctrines of race and eugenics became all the rage of the anointed
intellectuals. Even an otherwise liberal thinker like Oliver Wendell
Holmes was drawn to the fashionable concept of killing mentally
disabled in the name of eugenics.

These doctrines gave the German intellectuals the philosophical
underpinning for their so-called "anti-Semitism." That itself was a
pseudo-scientific term for regular old Jew hating just like
"anti-Zionism" is a progressive, politically correct term for regular
old Jew hating today.

'Jews and Arabs are too similar'

By Samson Blinded

"The alien who lives among you will rise over you higher and higher, and you
will sink lower and lower" Deuteronomy 28:43.

Sam Huntington could not be more wrong with his Clash of Civilizations thesis.
Civilizations, in fact, clash rarely, and their confrontations are limited to
border conflicts. Even the famed Islamic jihad in Europe and the subsequent
Reconquista targeted a narrow strip of Southern Europe. On the contrary,
intra-civilization wars are ubiquitous. The more culturally close are the
opponents, the bloodier is their conflict. The two world wars, which were fought
between culturally similar European countries, took an unprecedented number of
lives. Civil wars are generally the bloodiest.

Contrary to Fukuyama’s dream of a post-human liberal world without wars,
globalization works the other way around: people become more culturally
homogeneous, interact more—and clash more often. Globalization caused Japan to
take offense at American trade restrictions in the 1930s, globalization made the
Pacific front technically possible, and globalization accounts for some Afghani
terrorists planning the 9/11 attacks halfway across the globe. Global projection
of power is a function of globalization, which allows any two groups to fight,
no matter the distance. Still more importantly, globalization pushes foreign
images into our homes. Indonesian Muslims learn about evil Zionists they would
otherwise never have encountered in their lives. This virtual contact amounts to
intrusion and gives impetus first to xenophobia, then hatred, then war.

       If anything, we would see more conflicts rather than less, as was indeed the
case in the twentieth century. The conflicts would become more and more
irrational. In antiquity, resources were scarce but people still used them on
economically irrational wars of honor. In our time of economic surplus,
economically motivated wars have almost entirely given way to ideological ones.
Irrationality makes modern wars unpredictable, common, and cruel. This kind of
ideological war is only possible in a culturally homogeneous world: one can kill
chimps, buffalo, or natives to gain unrestricted access to local resources and
plunder them profitably, but no one would fight Polynesian aborigines for
ideological reasons. One only enforces his ideological views on people who are
at least remotely similar.

       This shows how misguided are those who appeal to the similarity of common Jews
and Arabs. Leftists send children to mixed camps to interact with Arabs and see
them as the people similar to themselves. The organizers presume to eliminate
hatred and mutual suspicion in that way. How wrong. There is a Ukrainian saying,
“My Jew is no Jew.” Goebbels of cursed memory made a similar remark in his
diary—that probably every German had come to him and pleaded for his Jewish
friend who was unlike other Jews. On a personal level, people of hostile groups
get along perfectly because they have no personal squabbles. Their problem
arises only on a group level. There is no reason for a Jew who wants falafel to
hate the Arab provider of it; there is every reason for Jews to hate Arabs who
want to take our land. A nation is not sum of its people, but an entirely
different body with its own goals, hatreds, and allegiances. It is
counterintuitive, but such relationships are typical of synergistic systems:
consider how an airplane is unlike the heap of its parts—the airplane flies,
its parts don’t. The moral theory recognizes synergistic differences: killing
is a crime for an individual, but heroic for a nation.

       Cultural homogenization of Jews and Arabs works against coexistence. Just as
Jewish assimilation in Europe sparked a major wave of anti-Semitism in the late
nineteenth century, so Arab assimilation, especially if forced by the Israeli
establishment, is bound to inflame hatreds. Many Jews don’t care about Arabs
living in closed communities such as Tulkarem or Umm al Fahm, but resist them
moving into Haifa and Yaffo. Not surprisingly, Sephardi Jews, the most
culturally close to Arabs, hate them the most.

       Educated in Israeli schools and universities, the Arabs might seem similar to
Jews, but the similarity is actually anti-parallel: both groups have similar
goals and approaches, and are thus bound to clash. Jews learned of a noble
nationalist struggle for their homeland, and so did the Arabs—incidentally,
we’re talking about the same piece of land. Jews are educated in the spirit of
dwelling safely “in our own land,” but so are the Arabs—they don’t want
to live prosperously in a Jewish state, just as good Jews don’t want a
prosperous life in Switzerland, but choose Israel instead. Both groups want to
make this land “their own” and will accept nothing less.

       Cultural homogenization causes intermingling, which in turn inflames hatreds,
which push moderates from the scene. Since Oslo, Israeli Arabs don’t fear and
have no reason to be moderate. They can safely support the most zealous leaders.
Moderation is not rewarded, nor is it there any ostensible scheme for rewarding
Israeli Arab citizens of some political views over those with diverging
opinions. Arab society quickly radicalizes to the point of no return. The
radicals might not be many, but few are required; riots, civil wars, and
revolutions are started by insignificant minorities.

Haaretz: Israel’s Anti-Semitic Rag

Haaretz: Israel’s Anti-Semitic Rag

Posted By P. David Hornik On February 17, 2012

Haaretz, Israel’s left-wing daily, used to be Israel’s newspaper of record and comparable to the New York Times, read also by those who differed from its line. Today Haaretz is read by less than 6 percent of Israelis, overwhelmingly composed of the country’s left-wing “elite.” Haaretz comes in far behind successful newcomer, right-of-center Israel Hayom at 38% and left-of-center Yediot Aharonot at 36%.

Haaretz’s English website, however, gets a very high Alexa ranking—around the 3900th most popular website in the world and currently neck-and-neck with the centrist Jerusalem Post’s site. Indeed, Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu allegedly called (his office later denied it) Haaretz and the New York Times Israel’s “two main enemies” and said:

    They set the agenda for an anti-Israel campaign all over the world. Journalists read them every morning and base their news stories…on what they read in the New York Times and Haaretz.

Whether or not Netanyahu said it, he could have added that foreign diplomats as well base their views of Israel, and their perceptions—however skewed—of Israeli opinion, on what they read in Haaretz.

For his part, Israeli justice minister Yaakov Neeman has allegedly gone even further and likened Haaretz to Der Stürmer.

Are such charges justified? To get an idea on whether they are, I followed Haaretz’s English website’s op-eds and editorials through the Israeli workweek of Sunday, January 29 to Friday, February 3. Having done the same experiment eight years ago, I can say right away that Haaretz has, if anything, gotten worse since then. (While its reporting is also biased, the bias is easier to demonstrate in opinion articles.) This despite the fact that last August, Aluf Benn became Haaretz’s new editor in chief.

For years Benn was a thoughtful left-of-center columnist for the paper who made valid, if arguable, points. Under his tenure, though, Haaretz has kept publishing the same bevy of radical leftists. It appears inevitable considering that the Schocken family, which has owned the paper since 1937, still holds a dominant 60% stake of Haaretz. In an op-ed last November, current Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken portrayed Israel as a country verging on apartheid.

During the week in question, January 29-February 3, Haaretz published 30 op-eds. Fifteen of these could be called neutral on political, left-right issues. Exactly one—by Haaretz’s sole regular right-wing columnist, Israel Harel—was a discussion from a right-wing perspective. Of the other 14, 11 were virulently left-wing and 3 more moderately so. As for the editorials, all six were harsh attacks on Israeli policy, leadership, and institutions. The following is only a sampling from the week.

On Sunday, Gideon Levy published a piece on a recent poll finding high levels of religious beliefs in the Israeli Jewish population. For instance, 84% believe in God, 70% believe Jews are the chosen people, 76% eat kosher at home—figures far beyond the approximately 25% of the Jewish population that is formally observant. This poll, to put it mildly, did not sit well with Levy and other Haaretz pundits.

Levy, for his part, wrote:

    Expressions of racism toward Arabs and foreigners, Israel’s arrogant attitude toward international opinion—these too can be explained by the benighted, primeval belief of the majority of Israelis (70 percent ) that we enjoy complete license because You chose us.… we are in the West Bank above all because the majority of Israelis believe that it is not only the land of the patriarchs, but that this fact gives us a patrimonial right to sovereignty, to cruelty, to abuse and to occupation—and to hell with the position of the international community and the principles of international law, because, after all, we were chosen from among all other peoples.

That is not a valid polemic but, rather, an anti-Semitic rant. As Shmuel Rosner notes regarding the traditional Jewish belief in chosenness,

    There’s nothing wrong with such belief. When Americans were asked by Gallup if their nation “has a unique character that makes it the greatest country in the world,” 80 percent said yes. According to a Pew survey, “About half of Americans (49 percent) and Germans (47 percent) agree with the statement, ‘Our people are not perfect, but our culture is superior to others.’”

Israelis, of course, do not regard chosenness as a license to commit crimes, and Levy cannot cite any evidence that they do. He just asserts it, or “spits it” would be more accurate.

Also riding the antireligious tide on Sunday, Amir Oren complained that the Israeli army “was another kind of army [once], before the chief rabbi of the air force took office, before the religious takeover of aircraft hangars, and their takeover of the rest of the Israel Defense Forces.” Oren approvingly quotes an anonymous letter to the chief of staff by a secular air force pilot:

    …maybe I should let you know that the members of the air force, at least from [a certain] base, will not be meeting with authors, or guides who would teach them about nature and about various places around the country, or scientists or philosophers, or journalists or historians, or people looking at future trends. Only with religious people, who my son describes as crazy. I find no reason to assume that this disease only exists on this one particular base…. Don’t be surprised if normal soldiers don’t find their place in your army of God.

If this sounds like hatred of religious Jews, it is; and it is no less clear that hatred of a category of Jews is anti-Semitism. It should be added that, whatever legitimate controversies may exist about religion’s role in the Israeli army, one reason it has become more prominent there is that religious Israelis now disproportionately volunteer to be officers and combat soldiers—a fact I didn’t come across anywhere in Haaretz’s rants.

And Sunday’s editorial weighed in on the “failed” (except that all serious commentators knew they didn’t stand a chance) Israeli-Palestinians talks in Jordan, saying these were intentionally scuttled by Israel and adding:

    Netanyahu, with [Defense Minister Ehud] Barak’s help, has turned the Iranian nuclear threat into an impressive ploy to distract attention from settlement policy and the perpetuation of the occupation…. The death certificate of negotiations based on the two-state solution is a badge of shame for Israeli society. It’s hard to understand how a society that has so impressively brought social injustice to the top of the agenda has fallen victim to our nationalist-religious leaders’ criminal ploy.

Here it should be noted that neither Netanyahu nor—even less so—Barak is considered religious in Israeli terms. But these bad characters, we see—with “Israeli society” in tow—are leading the world by the nose on the Iranian-nuke issue so they can tighten their grip on the West Bank. If this reminds you of Walt, Mearsheimer, Patrick Buchanan, & Co., it should—and it’s coming from a made-in-Israel website.

That Israel is an “apartheid state” is, of course, another shibboleth of contemporary anti-Semitism. It was well represented in Haaretz on Monday by Druze writer and contributor Salman Masalha who, in another crude rant, drew direct parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa. Then there was Akiva Eldar, whose tirade also featured the crafty, peace-destroying Netanyahu:

    If Netanyahu had not existed, the settlers would have been forced to invent him. It has cost him peanuts to remove some of the roadblocks in the West Bank, to lift part of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, and to pay a bit of lip service to “the peace process.” And, he has managed to preserve all the settlers’ interests.

    …Fact: It is possible to gobble up additional territories and also be depicted as a moderate leader while managing to keep relations with the United States and Europe intact.

    The settlers can relax. The general positions outlined last week in Jordan to the Palestinians [were] nothing more than another exercise aimed at presenting Netanyahu as a partner to peace and the Palestinians as the ones who turn it down….

Tricky Jews at it again; all is subterfuge, don’t believe a word they say.

Especially offensive, though, was Monday’s column by Merav Michaeli, who also focused on the poll that so upset Gideon Levy but found a different significance in it:

    The issue that should have sparked panic in the survey is the total consensus among Israeli Jews…that the “guiding principle” for the country and for Judaism itself is “to remember the Holocaust.” Ninety-eight percent of the respondents consider it either fairly important or very important to remember the Holocaust, attributing to it even more weight than to living in Israel, the Sabbath, the Passover seder and the feeling of belonging to the Jewish people.

    …That’s the way it is with traumas…. Trauma leads to belligerence and a strong tendency to wreak havoc on one’s surroundings….

A very high societal awareness of the Holocaust—cause for “panic”! From a non-Haaretz perspective, this might be seen as an educational success and a welcome phenomenon. Holocaust survivors, it can be assumed, regard it that way, and so would the victims. But for columnist Michaeli, it’s something that drives Israelis to beat up on others—again, a familiar canard of the anti-Semites.

On Tuesday Avirama Golan gave her take on Israeli secondary education:

    from year to year, Israeli children will participate in experiential tours in Israel and abroad. First they will lift their heads in national pride in the City of David and shed a Jewish tear at the Western Wall…. Two years later they will march with a huge Israeli flag in the suburbs of Warsaw, will hate Poles and will swear to take revenge on the Palestinians…. Never mind. In any case these children will be drafted, will be welcomed to the army by the rabbi of the base, who will blow the shofar in their honor. It’s better if they’re prepared.

It’s nasty, leering stuff, and it’s anti-Semitic by any reasonable definition.

It was more of the same on Wednesday. Bradley Burston heaped some more demonization on the Israeli leadership:

    If we’re lucky, the threat (no more than the threat) of an Iran attack (Bibi and Barak’s Glory Days Redux fantasy) will be just one more dodge to keep settlers and their opponents at bay: long enough to make it to elections, long enough to get another fix of power…. Alternatively, they could do the bidding of the hard right. Shun the left, exploit the center, build like mad in the settlements and bomb Iran for good measure.

By now it should be emerging that—aside from portraying Israel as a country that touts a phony Iranian threat for its own nefarious purposes, or might start a Middle Eastern conflagration for its own sneaky reasons—Haaretz is not fond of “the settlers.” The fury toward Israelis who live in the West Bank—now numbering well over 300,000 and covering the full sociological spectrum—clearly smacks of pathological obsession. Wednesday’s column by Zvi Barel directed still more abuse at these people, depicting them as taking over the country while perhaps being “willing to give Israel equal rights under conditions dictated by the invaders of the hills.”

Thursday was somewhat quieter, with the aforementioned column by right-winger Harel and a few “neutrals.” But Ari Shavit came through with:

    Over the past three years, Netanyahu has succeeded in decimating the left’s belief in peace with the Palestinians, and he is en route to destroying the world’s hopes as well. He has managed to convince both the Americans and the Europeans that the main topic on the world’s agenda must be Iran….

And Haaretz was back in full force on Friday. Yoel Marcus:

    …The most worrying survey showed that 80 percent of Israelis believe in God…. this number is another element in the weakening of the left, the strengthening of the right, the reinforcement of the rabbis’ rule and the sanctity of the territories—and the continuation of the Bibi regime.

Former Knesset member and cabinet minister Yossi Sarid offered an imaginary letter to his parents by an Israeli schoolchild taken on a school tour of Hebron:

    They should stop telling us stories—we’re not children anymore. With our own eyes we saw the settlers acting like the bosses, telling the soldiers and the policemen what to do.… Once I saw a movie called “To Hell and Back,” and that’s a pretty good description of the day we had. We discovered a grave new world, in which an abomination becomes a righteous deed, as long as it’s performed by authority of the Torah, of course…. I’m going to have to rethink everything, after I found out…that God has more support than…Netanyahu here: at least 80 percent, and a majority is a majority. Just as murder is murder…. I trust our education minister will examine our memories to discover what Hebron did to us as a city that really stinks.

And Doron Rosenblum:

    It has become difficult in this country to distinguish, at least on the visual level, between a ceremony to dedicate a new Torah scroll and a walk to the cabinet meeting by the prime minister (who is “good for the Jews”) and his entourage of skullcap- and kerchief-wearers.…

To sum up, then, the gleanings from one week of Haaretz’s opinion articles: the Jewish religion is primitive and benighted, and Israeli Jews exploit it to abuse others. Religious Jews are taking over Israel and the Israeli army and constitute a “disease” in that army. Israeli is solely and deliberately responsible for the failure of Israeli-Palestinian talks, and craftily uses the Iranian threat to deceive Americans and Europeans and advance its goals. Israel is an apartheid state. Israelis are driven by the Holocaust to wreak havoc on others. Israeli schoolchildren are inculcated with a ludicrous religion, Judaism, and learn to hate Poles and Palestinians. Israel may bomb Iran just so its prime minister and defense minister can please the “hard right.” The “settlers” are demons, entirely evil.

One of Israel’s main enemies? Haaretz’s English website is certainly that, as it spews this vile nonsense all over the world. Der Stürmer? With its hatred and defamation of the Israeli Jewish people and of Judaism in general, its volleys of anti-Semitic stereotypes, Haaretz is not far off.

Jewish Land.....Negotiate this!

 Mishpatim 23:31

"And I will make your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river, for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and you shall drive them out from before you."

Sounds like good boundaries to "negotiate".

Title: Leading American Zionist Organization Denounces Israeli Policy on Temple Mount
---------------------------------------------------

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has issued an unprecedented press release condemning the Israeli government for perceived discrimination against Jews on the Temple Mount. The rare display of public dissent was prompted by recent clampdowns by Israeli police on visits by Jews, as well as the draconian measures police employ to "guard the calm."

"The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) believes that unfettered access and freedom to pray at a holy site is a basic, universally recognized right, which certainly should be accorded to Jews in the Jewish State of Israel," the statement began. "More Jews have wanted to visit the Temple Mount in recent years . . . To their dismay, when they do visit they are subject to blatant discrimination and humiliation by the Israeli police, who are cooperating with and hoping to appease the extremist Muslim Wakf authority on the Mount."

The press release cited the fact that Jews "have to endure . . . humiliation as they are followed and filmed by Israeli police and representatives of the Wakf . . . prohibitions against visiting the Mount more than once a day . . . " and "arrests for 'crimes,' such as - praying, even silently if one’s lips are moving . . . studying Torah . . . [and] closing one’s eyes." It also provided recent examples, like the arrest of a 67-year-old man who was quietly reciting a blessing before taking a sip of water, as required by Jewish law.

The statement goes on to criticize the disparate treatment Muslims receive: "Remarkably, if your appearance or behavior openly shows you are a Muslim you are treated with respect, and there is no disruption whatsoever for pursuing your religious activities as you wish to practice." The disparity is all the more disturbing in light of the fact that "not one act of desecration or disrespect for Muslim holy places has been committed by Jews on the Temple Mount. No Jews ever have terrorized Muslims there or engaged in rioting." On the other hand, "the worst acts of Temple Mount violence and desecrations have been perpetrated by Muslims, such as raining rocks on Jewish worshippers below at the Western Wall."

The statement ends by calling on the Israeli government to "end the discriminatory policy that is applied on the Temple Mount," and urges other prominent American Jewish organizations to join in their campaign.

Give 'em Heck, Prof. Dershowitz

 Title: Give 'Em Heck, Prof. Dershowitz!

---------------------------------------------------
Form the Jewish Press

In early February, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz addressed a full house at the Zellerbach Theater at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State, to add his contribution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict debate brewing on campus. The event was presented by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, Hillel of Greater Philadelphia and Penn Hillel.

Dershowitz was invited to speak in anticipation of the National Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions conference, which was planned for that weekend on Penn’s campus. According to the conference’s website, BDS’ goal is to “boycott, divest from and sanction (BDS) the State of Israel until it complies with its obligations under international and human rights law.”

According to the Daily Pennsylvanian, Dershowitz made "the 80-percent case for Israel." He advocated supporting Israel's right to exist but expressed willingness to criticize Israeli policies with which he disagreed.

Dershowitz called the implication that Israel is a apartheid regime "absurd." He challenged Israel's critics to name another country that, faced with comparable threats, had a better human rights record. He said that Israel was the only liberal democracy and nation that recognizes women's rights and the rights of the gay community in the Middle East. And at one point, he even said that Penn professors who support BDS werre "complacent with evil."

They didn't like that. This week, one Stephen Lendman went after Dershowitz with a vengeance: "Inviting him was disgraceful. He’s a shameless bigot, a longstanding Islamophobe, a perverter of fundamental U.S. and international law, an advocate of war, torture targeted assassinations and collective punishment, as well as a committed Zionist and apologist for Israel’s worst crimes."

Lendman even cited Law Professor Francis Boyle, who wrote that Dershowitz is "a self-incriminated war criminal who publicly admitted that he serves on a Mossad Committee that authorizes the murder and assassination of Palestinians," and is "also infamous around the world for being this country’s foremost advocate for torture."

Then Lendman added this pearl: "Throughout its century-long history, ADL hyped unfounded anti-Semitism hysteria as a cover for backing Jewish supremacy and rights of Israelis over Arabs. They include militarized occupation and belligerently enforced apartheid."

We apologize for the unfounded anti-Semitism hysteria of the past 100 years, and will now return quietly to our gas chambers.

Iran To Launch Suicide Boats at US Navy - JPress

Title: Iran to Launch Suicide Boats at US Navy as Turmoil Threatens Bahrain Base




From The Jewish Press
---------------------------------------------------
According to ABC News, Vice Admiral Mark Fox, commander of United States naval forces in the Gulf, told reporters in Bahrain that Iran is operating small boats "outfitted with a large warhead that could be used as a suicide explosive device."

Iran has threatened to disrupt shipping in the Gulf and to strike US forces there should sanctions cause the shutdown of its oil sales, or if the US attacks its nuclear sites.

At a briefing, Vice Admiral Fox said the US Navy's Fifth Fleet can prevent Iran from blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran now operates 10 small submarines in the gulf, according to Fox. "They have increased the number of submarines... they increased the number of fast attack craft," he said, adding that "the Iranians have a large mine inventory."

"We have watched with interest their development of long-range rockets and short, medium and long-range ballistic missiles and of course ... the development of their nuclear program."

Military experts say the Fifth Fleet patrolling the Gulf, with at least one giant supercarrier accompanied by scores of jets and a fleet of frigates and destroyers, is overwhelmingly more powerful than Iran's navy.

But the very base of operations for the US Naval force may be in jeopardy. According to Stars and Stripes Magazine, Young Shia men, inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings across the Middle East, demand the resignation of the Sunni government of Bahrain, led by the ruling al-Khalifa family, as well as parliamentary elections and a new democratic constitution. The regime’s security services reply with force, determined to silence them. This month-long unrest is taking place a few hundred yards from the gates of the Naval Support Activity Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, with some 6,200 sailors, civilians and family members.

In 1996, Al Qaeda suicide bombers in a small boat killed 17 sailors on board the destroyer USS Cole in a port in Yemen.

Mormons Still Baptizing Dead Jews Despite Agreements to End Practice

Mormons Still Baptizing Dead Jews Despite Agreements to End Practice

THE LONG AND THE SHORT - Meir Kahane

THE LONG AND THE SHORT

[This article written in 1978 like all other articles written by Rabbi Kahane is timeless. Rabbi Kahane always spoke of “democracy” changing in the blink of an eye. It all depends on the society and their problems.   “The Long And he Short” describes the “Wall Street Occupiers” and so many like them. For the frustrations and  unhappiness many feel in America today they blame  “big  business,” “Jews on Wall Street,”  “Jews in America,” one teacher occupier told Jews to leave the country and go to Israel.  Unfortunately, others agreed. Some do not even know they are against. They voted for Obama to make changes, without looking into the changes he will make. Now they want instant solutions. bg]

.    

In the end, there is only the individual.  If the whole is nothing more than the sum of its parts, know that the geometric axiom serves for a Divine illumination of the realities of the world.  Ours is an era of instant solutions, the product of the loss of stability, anchor, certainty.  The truths and verities of centuries have melted away before what was universally believed would be the Springtime of Man.  The season changed and it was enough to wipe away the beliefs and values of a thousand and yet another thousand years but the warmth and paradise, the secular Nirvana and millennium, never appeared.  We asked for freedom; we demanded freedom; we climbed the barricades for freedom – and we received it, only to find, to our horror that we did not know what to do with it.  We cried for “rights” and they appeared – and the world became not one bit better than before.

The Liberalism that destroyed the Divine right of monarchy did not produce a better world and the democracy that brought universal suffrage did not create a kinder Man and the communism that railed against the evil of bourgeoisie-nationalism and democracy, did not bring Man happiness or peace.

All the fruits of progress and rationalism; all the harvests of science and humanism; all the things that promised to put an end to Man’s unhappiness and suffering and enslavement – all have failed and Man remains as unhappy and as enslaved as ever.

For by the very nature of desire to be “free” and to be “happy” Man guarantees the impossibility of a better world.  The obsession with self, the pandering to materialism and self-gratification, the glorifying of the “I” and the ego, must, by the very nature of the human beast, lead to further need and further demand for “more.”  Self-gratification is salt water that quenches the thirst of ego for but a moment and then produces the need-greater than before – for yet more water, for yet more gratification.  There is no end to it and the expectations can only rise, together with the increased inability to sacrifice and do without.  No man was ever more a slave than in our era when self-love and narcissism chain man to the demands of his body.

And so, a slave to his material and narcissistic needs; bewildered by the host of utopias that failed and the solutions that proved to be bitter delusions, lost and drifting, with no authority or ideological compass.  Man frantically and frequently seeks solutions – instant, immediate, now.  A child of the century of confusion and immaturity, unable and unwilling to postpone gratification or to slowly and carefully build the tower of truth, he demands his Nirvana now.

And so he seizes the short road that must inevitably prove to be long.  He climbs the barricades to change the “system.”  If it is capitalism, let us establish socialism and if it is communism let us build private enterprise.  If it is a monarchy let us have a republic and if it is a liberal, national bourgeoisie, we must have in its place a proletarian people’s government.  Foolish, frantic, frightened, lost souls.  Of course it cannot be.  Of course you cannot change a world by changing the “system” or the “society.” For there are not such concepts!  They do not exist!  Show me a system; let me touch it; let me feel it.  The whole is non-existent as an entity unto itself.  It comes into being only through the sum and substance of all the individuals that compose it.  If the individuals are selfish, grasping, stupid and pigs – that is the kind of society you will have, automatically, inexorably.

You seek a better world?  You want a better “society?”  Take the parts and make them good and you will have it.  Make man, each individual one, good and you will have your good world no matter what name you give the system.  That is the only way; there is no other.  It is the long way that is short; it is the only road that leads not to a dead end. You say it is impossible to create this?  Perhaps, though I would rather say, extraordinarily difficult.  But if it is impossible, cease your games and your illusions.  Neither the establishment, nor the rebels; neither the ‘outs’ nor the ‘ins’ neither the defenders of the status quo nor the revolutionary militants and activists, will change anything.

Of course seek to change things and make them better.  But beware of those who speak in terms of glory and love and revolution and throwing out the Establishment.  Look at them and study them.  Speak to them and search them.  Are they good people?  I mean, are they personally decent and fine and people of mercy and kindness?  Do they love the general people and hate each and every individual?  Do they love “Jews” the plural and speak with viciousness of each individual?  When they weep for the poor have you ever known them to reach into their pockets and give their tithe of charity.”  Does the purple mantle of love, cloak a hater?  Is there a need to hate rather than a drive for compassion?

Struggle against injustice and inequity and never accept them but beware the loud and strident “liberators.”  Too often, the ‘out’ climbs the barricades against the ‘in’ only because he seeks to exchange places with him and if he should ever succeed we would discover in him the same dreadful qualities of the one he ousted.  Only the good and the kind and the compassionate man can change things.  The other – the loser, the self-hate, the unstable and the one eaten by envy and the need to destroy is the kind to avoid, from whom you should flee.  No better world will emerge from him.  In the end, there is only Man, the individual.  If he is good, so will be his world.  If not, there is no hope.
