Why?

A BIG *SIGH* here. 

I wondered how long it would take for some religious zealot to explain why the 3 Israeli Yeshivah students were kidnapped by terrorists; yup it is 'divine punishment'. Yep! It is either because Israel recently passed a draft for Haredi OR because Israel has been passing 'anti-religious (read chipping away at Haredi dominance of the Israeli Rabbincate) & is willing to provide land for peace ! Why not go ahead and blame gays, women's education & tzniut ?!?

Well, I'm not the best scholar in the world, nor am I the worst. But this I do know: the age of Jewish Prophets is over (which is why, incidentally, Jews rejected Mo, but that's a different story). So no-one has the right to claim the G-d is punishing Israel for whatever reason  and I believe that is well within Halakhah to give up land for peace. Furthermore I would argue that the ultimate Mitzvot, save the exceptional circumstances when we must Yehareg ve'al ya'avor,is -Pikuach Nefesh, the preservation of life. A peace treaty with the Arabs is essential in the long term, but it is a matter of timing and context that will determine this, though. I'm not G-d, so I'm not even going to give any possible spiritual answer as to why these things happen. In the same respect, when people ask me about the Shoah. I'll be honest. I don't have any words, any glibness, no hidden spiritual insight. As a famous Sephardi Rabbi [Judah ha-Levi] once said "If I understood Him, I would be Him". What I do know is that we can do our upmost to Daven[pray] for the return of these boys, alongside the practical actions that the IDF and others are doing . Furthermore, what needs to happen now is to put in place practical ways which will prevent further kidnappings. 

As for the reasons given  -

Well studying Torah academically is good, but if you really grasp it you'd realise that there is a life outside it and that is the real thrust of Judaism, besides which, ah you've heard me enough to know my views on this one, but I will turn to it in greater depth in another post ... & I can't see exactly what is damaging about the various issues mention in the article about the current Israeli government being 'anti-religious', e.g. the change to the conversion process, I will write about this at greater length another time, but I think there does need to be more leniency here.I read an article a couple of months back about how a famous Israeli actress wanted to convert- she had a Jewish father, not a mother- and stuck to all of the modesty rules, dietary rules and they apparently ended the conversion process because she was an actress, doh !!!

So if you are a self-righteous nutter or follower of a conclave of Mullah type Rabbis, who think they can interpret the divine will, turn this into a disgraceful political statement to suite your own needs, then go ahead. No-one else wants to know,  we are too busy praying and being practical in our efforts to bring back our boys. 

Thank you.

'Amidst everything we do, we say Hashem, please help our soldiers bring our boys back home.'

UPDATE (1 hour later) - I have the privilege of reading through my sister's notes for her book. She passionately expresses in her notes much of my feelings, so I will not need to discuss further the issues I said I would above.

  1. End the occupation of Palestine!


    I hate Jews because of -

    1. The curly hair

    History shows that nobody appreciates curly hair or "Jew Fro" as it has come to be known. For example, what other race has curly hair and had a few bad years and clashes with authority. Hmmm, let me think. Wait, I remember! The blacks! The point is, that curly hair can be frightening. But it's not just curly, it's greasy and twisting and dark. It's like those freaking Tribbles off Star Trek emerged from the heads of Jews originally as lice and mutated into super-breeding fluffy-cuddly softballs...

    2. Noses

    Not so much a nose as it is an enormous cliff that hangs on the face of everyone who worships on Saturdays. There have been 8,934,839 deaths that can be attributed to the noses of the Jew (mostly caused by them bumping into furniture and doors). Accidental or not, it is a force to be reckoned with and must be stopped...or at least surgically altered on a worldwide basis to agree with my image of how people should look.

    3. Greed

    What I am about to say is a deep, dark, commonly known truth. Don't give a Jew money. Money corrupts the jews mind. It is like a drugs. They are hooked and will commit crimes to get it. No morals. Just freaking look up the top richest men in the world, they'll be either Jews or friends of Jews. You ever seen a poor Jewish farmer or factory worker? No? But you have seen plenty Jewish bankers and politicians and directors, haven't you! Just do what the Byzantine Empire did and don't let them into business or politics... or religion... freaking Talmud calling for the murder of all Gentiles! Look it up, morons! They're the spawn of Satan! THEY'RE IN MY BED RIGHT NOW!! OOOOOOOOO!!! As they have destroyed Palestinian homes, thinking the land is theirs, how much land do you wanna get moron!? it's THEIR land! it's just the brutal history of jews repeated... look it up

    4. Circumcisions

    A medical procedure used as an excuse for Rabbis to mutilate and violate innocent little Jewish babies. Perhaps the conscience lies in the foreskin? That would explain why they whip it off! The mind of a circumcised Jew is as follows "Kill, kill, kill! Steal, steal, steal! Fornicate! Slack-off! Pillage! Pervert! Death, death, death! Sarah Silverman! WOOT!

    5. Woody Allen

    Enough said.

    6. Their gay language

    מאמר זה נורא

    Hmm, the frak is that anyway? I know I saw that on that Roswell saucer. O MY GOD, JEWS COME FROM OUTTER SPACE!!! DAVID ICKE WAS RIGHT!

    7. Hannukah (however it's spelled)

    Just celebrate Chrismas or Festivus like everybody else. Or Kwanzaa. Yeah, celebrate Kwaanza. Assholes. Niggers realized they had no culture of their own, so they invented some, but it still sucks ass. What, offended at the N word? THEN WHY ARE YOU ON THIS WEBSITE WHEN YOU KNOW WE'LL USE IT, RETARD! Besides, I Asian married to Jew-boy!!!

    8. Sasquatch

    For centuries this hairy abomination has been terrorizing residents of the pacific northwest. Forcing his religious doctrine on others and then eating them.

    9. Star of David

    The Star of David was developed by Jewish scientists to be used by Jewish ninjas, or "Ninjews".

    10. Synagogues

    Ever hear of the synagogue of God? Jesus? Vishnu? No, but you have heard of the Synagogue of Satan! I've made my point, Jews have devil horns and worship Satan!

  2. Sorry, that is too far, even for my belief in freedom of speech. I've deleted your comment. Please don't comment here again. You are not welcome and there are other sites for you to troll. E.g. 'stormfront'.


    Chars!
