Yes, today was a big celebration for me... I ascended Har Habayit-- Temple Mount today for the third time. As with the first time, I joined my neighbor Rachel Sela and a variety of women from Shiloh and further afield. It has been a few years since Actually I was involved in an attempt to ascend Har Habayit which failed due to anti-Jewish government orders. I had forgotten about it completely…
Last night we Undecideds had another, our third, discussion. Most of us are still undecided, some more and some less. I'm probably the most undecided and depressed about the choices before us. Also, compared to the rest of the panel, I think I'm the most disappointed in my voting options. No political party is offering, publicizing a platform that I'd consider the minimum of what I think is…
The Jewish People Have a Documented Right to Be in Israel Unlike Europeans, Asians, Africans etc. in the Americas, Australia, New Zealand etc ... The only people/nation to have lived as a true nation, governing body in the Land of Israel aka Judea , later renamed by Hadrian to mask its Jewish identity. We've been living in Shiloh since 1981, forty-five 45 years. Biblical archeological experts…
Israeli Elections are getting closer, but my decision about which political party to vote for seems further away than ever. Many friends feel the same way. I don't want anyone involved in the October 7, 2023 fiasco in power any more, and that's not only Binyamin Netanyahu and his loyal poodles. That includes all the powerful generals who've been leading the IDF , Military Intelligence and other…
Am I the only one getting more and more curious and suspicious about how rapidly the anti-Israel pro-Intifada, "Death to the IDF" demonstrations took over the world after Israel was brutally and perversely attacked on October 7, 2023 ? Who was behind it? Follow the Money... There wasn't a "simple" military attack on Israel. Well prepared and armed Gazan terrorists attacked innocent Israeli…
Unfortunately, our weak, woke hapless Prime Minister Binyamin Bibi Netanyahu has relinquished our sovereignty to American President Donald Trump . We never hear Bibi forcibly and confidently objecting to Trump's plans, deals and demands reminding him that he is President of the USA, and he has no authority over Israel. Actually, I don't think we hear anyone in the Israeli Government say that we're…
Bibi has been Prime Minister for most of the past twenty years. We've had constant wars/battles/attacks. Victory isn't on the menu with him in charge. He's not going to change. Same bombastic speeches, but he doesn't fight to win the war. Since Bibi has been Prime Minister, possibly even before, we've been fighting the same long, very endless war. Every year or two our Arab terrorist "neighbors"…
For this discussion, Jonathan Feldstein asked each of us to give the ideology* of the various political parties in Israel of those which are mostly in the Knesset at present, plus a couple of realistic hopefuls. A reason for this is that many listeners to our panel don't live in Israel and have minimal knowledge, at best, about the multitude of political parties here. To be honest, many Israelis…
Whom to vote for? That is the question Many of you from all over the world may have listened to our first discussion , organized by Jonathan Feldstein , live or the recording. There were some very good reactions. The Israeli Electoral system is rather different from most. Ours is a much more representational type of government. There are many classic Jewish jokes like: Two Jews having three…
For the past couple of International media, celebrities, diplomats, academics, governments and more have willingly, intentionally blinded themselves to the truth about Israel , the Arab terrorists who attack us and history. They've perverted the truth so totally that it could almost be funny if their aim hadn't been to destroy the Jewish People, History and State. Immediately after the violent,…
