THE PATH TO PEACE IS NOT PEACEFUL

 

In this week’s Torah reading, Beshallach, Pharaoh frees the Israelites from Egypt after the ten plagues that were detailed in the previous two parshiot. The opening verse of Beshallach relates that “it was, when Pharaoh released the people, that G-d did not lead them through the land of the Phillistines because it was near, for G-d said, “so that the people do not change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt” (Exodus 13:17).

Here we find that Hashem did not lead the Hebrew nation along the short and direct way to the Promised Land. He chose, rather, to direct them on a lengthier, more circuitous route. He did so because He knew that they would encounter conflict on the way, and if the way back to Egypt would have been quick and easy, they would be more inclined to return to slavery rather than battle their way to freedom.

Every word of Torah is eternally relevant. From this verse, we learn the following truths about human nature: Human beings are inclined to take the path of least resistance. We are capable of tolerating situations that are less than ideal rather than investing the significant time, energy, and resources required to achieve a more optimal outcome. We are willing to subject ourselves to an accustomed pain and discomfort rather than venture toward an uncertain better future. We would often prefer a slow and predictable defeat rather than a difficult and costly victory.

These truths are as instructive to the nation of Israel today as they were at the time of the Exodus from Egypt 3300 years ago. We find ourselves currently in a terrible war that we have not chosen. There are those who are crying out for a ceasefire and a cessation of the violence and destruction that is horrific to all people of conscience. Yet what these appeals for the suspension of military action fail to understand is that a ceasefire will only return us to the untenable situation that predated the current war. While the violence and conflict were less extensive and severe previously, the conditions made us susceptible to the massacre of October 7th and the war that would eventually be waged later if not now.

In essence, the calls for a ceasefire are precisely what Hashem was averting by leading the nation circuitously rather than directly. There will be those, the verse teaches us, who will urge us to retreat rather than fight life’s necessary battles. Yet we must push through the inevitable struggle if we want to reach our desired destination. There is evil in this world, and it must be countered. This is not only for our own sake, but it is for the benefit of all of G-d’s children who are subjected to cruelty, violence, and abuse.

In Proverbs, it is written that the Torah’s “ways are ways of pleasantness and all of its paths are peace” (Proverbs 3:17). Elaborating on this verse, the Midrash teaches that “everything which was written in the Torah was written in order to create peace. Even though the Torah writes of war, even the wars were written to create peace.” (Midrash Tanhuma, Tzav 3). Torah is a book of peace, but it also a book of truth. The truth that the opening verse of parshas Beshallach divulges is that the route to freedom is not free, and the path to peace is not peaceful. There is a cost for everything of value, and there is conflict on the way to resolution.

We pray for the day when war will no longer exist and there will be a permanent cessation of all violence and hostility. Yet to reach that day, we know that we must continue our  journey out of this long exile. We must not “change our minds when we see war,” and we must never again “return to Egypt” by accepting the mindset of limitation and restriction that was characterized by our historic subjugation.

Trump quit funding UNWRA but then changed his mind and refunded.  Now Biden has reduced your tax dollars America gives this corrupt organization because 12 of their employees engaged in Hamas', Oct.7 Invasion of Israel..

Dear Dick,

Today, Israel exposed evidence that UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 massacre. At least 12 employees were involved in the assault and even used U.N. vehicles and facilities during the terror attack. 

That UNRWA employees participated in the October 7 massacre further exposes the fundamental rot deeply embedded within the program itself. Congress and the administration must demand wholesale changes to the U.N. agency.

The State Department issued a statement suspending all U.S. funding to UNRWA, and members of Congress from both parties have slammed the U.N. group.

A CHILLING REPORT FROM HOLLAND

 

The newly elected prime Minister is far right. However the 

perspective he presents should not be ignored 

In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: ";Who lost 

Europe?"; Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, 

Chairman, Party for Freedom the Netherlands, 

at the Four Seasons in New York , introducing 

an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the 

Facing Jihad Conference in 

Jerusalem .

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

 I come to America with a mission.  All is not well in the old world.  There is

a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.  We

might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This not only is a

clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to

America and the sheer survival of the West.  The United States as the last

bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First, I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe .  Then, I will say

a few things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a meeting in

Jerusalem

 .

 The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks.  But in all of these cities,

sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another

world.  It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-

migration.

 All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods

where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen.  And if they

are, they might regret it.  This goes for the police as well.  It's the world of

head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby

strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you

prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners.  The

shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find

any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious

fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in

every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial

control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street,

neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city. 

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe .  With larger

congregations than there are in churches.  And in every European city

there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the

region.  Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take

Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden .  In many cities the majority

of the under-18 population is Muslim.   Paris is now surrounded by a ring of

Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys

in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be

mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that

would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all

pupils.  In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively

by Muslims.  Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'.  Satellite

dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of

origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive

to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of

Darwin .  The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of

Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system.

Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head

scarves.  Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in

Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave

of anti-Semitism since World War II.  French is now commonly spoken on

the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel .  I could go on forever with

stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live.   San Diego University recently

calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be

Muslim just 12 years from now.  Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim

majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers.  And the numbers would not be threatening if

the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate.  But there are few

signs of that.  The Pew Research Center reported that half of French

Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . 

One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British

Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim

students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they

call &#39.  And this is how we give them respect.  We have Muslim

official state holidays.

 The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the

Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority.  We have cabinet members with

passports from Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty

crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and

bus drivers, to small-scale riots.   Paris has seen its uprising in the low-

income suburbs, the banlieus.  I call the perpetrators 'settlers'.  Because

that is what they are.  They do not come to integrate into our societies; they

come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam.  Therefore, they are

settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against

non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods,

their cities, their countries.  Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to

be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the

prophet.  His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be

criticized.  Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like

Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. 

But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had

several marriages - at the same time.  Islamic tradition tells us how he

fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had

prisoners of war executed.  Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish

tribe of Banu Qurayza.  If it is good for Islam, it is good.  If it is bad for

Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion.  Sure, it has a god, and a

here-after, and 72 virgins.  But in its essence Islam is a political ideology.  It

is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every

person.  Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.  Islam means

'submission'.  Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy,

because what it strives for is sharia.  If you want to compare Islam to

anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all

totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde

force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.  The

public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees

Israel as the aggressor.  I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of

times.  I support Israel .  First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two

thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz; second because it is

a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

 This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam & #39's

territorial advance.   Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir,

Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon ,

and Aceh in Indonesia .   Israel is simply in the way.  The same way West-

Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel .  It is a war against the

West.  It is jihad.  Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all

of us.  If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have

found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. 

Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay

awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream,

unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the

grievances of our Muslim minorities.  But if Israel were, God forbid, to go

down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our

Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept

our values.  On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous

encouragement to the forces of Islam.  They would, and rightly so, see the

demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed.  The end of

Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the

beginning.  It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. 

If they can get Israel , they can get everything.  So-called journalists

volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing

extremists' or 'racists'.  In my country, the Netherlands , 60 

percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims 

as the number one policy mistake since World War II.  And another 

60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat.  Yet there is a greater 

danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last 

man standing.  The lights may go out in

Europe faster than you can imagine.  An Islamic Europe means a Europe

without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual

nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies 

will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.  With an Islamic Europe, it

would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens

and Jerusalem ...

 Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts.  My generation never had

to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people

who fought for it with their lives.  All throughout Europe , American

cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and

whose memory we cherish.  My generation does not own this freedom; we

are merely its custodians.  We can only hand over this hard won liberty to

Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us.  We

cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams.  Future generations would

never forgive us.  We cannot squander our liberties.  We simply do not

have the right to do so.

 We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity

from destroying the free world that we know.

 Please take the time to read and understand what is written here, Please

send it to every free person that you know, it is so very important.

The Gordian  Knot

Before I present what I understand are 5 main conflictual matters impacting
the current stage of the Hamas War, I would like to make clear I am a Zionist

and pro Israel. That said, I hope any reader of what I am about to write will also 

conclude I am trying my best to be constructive and objective.

I believe there are these issues which conflict with each other:


a) Netanyahu's comments and objectives.
b) The impact of Israel's response to the Oct7, unprovoked and brutal Hamas
invasion of Israel and how Bibi's comments, actions and specified goals effect
Egypt's armistice agreement with Israel and the Philadelphia Corridor.
c) The current fighting in Khan Yunis on Palestinians caught in the middle.
d) The forthcoming European meeting of America's CIA Director,
The head of QATAR, Egypt's Intelligence official and Hamas' demands regarding
hostages
e) The aftermath of the War as pertains to who controls
GAZA.

Netanyahu has been clear Hamas' leadership ability capable of orchestrating
another Oct 7, must be eliminated as well as members of their terrorist military.
as an effective force.


It is this issue, in combination with demands Palestinian refugees be given access into 

Egypt through the Philadelphia Corridor, that creates sensitive problems for Egypt. 

Why? First, it is beyond the specificity called for in the armistice agreement. 

Second, even though Egypt may secretly take comfort in Israel' destruction of 

Hamas, Egyptians are Arabs and must not be seen embracing actions which cause angst 

among and increasing tensions with The Muslim Brotherhood.


There are Israelis who believe Netanyahu's demands, regarding Egypt's opening of the 

Philadelphia Corridor, does violate the specific terms of the Armistice Agreement 

and thus, causes unnecessary issues between Egypt and Israel.


Netanyahu is particularly offended by African demands Israel be tried before
the World Court for committing atrocities though, he recognizes continued
fighting in a concentrated area exposes Palestinian refugees. However, he
argues, Israel did not want or start this war, have every moral right to 

defend their nation and the IDF is the most moral army in the world.


The upcoming closed meeting in France is seen by those, with
hopeful views, as an effort by Biden to resolve the release
of the hostages. Obviously, there are those who are less positive
because they do not trust Qatar, believe they are biased
negotiators and Hamas will only keep increasing their demands.


Finally, Netanyahu, in a recent address to his people, held up a
copy of Mein Kamp with other hate documents taken from Gazan and West 

Bank Palestinian Homes, to demonstrate why Israel must protect itself 

against any future attack by Hamas and other such terrorist organizations. 

That Israel cannot depend upon others and must do so by itself.
Thus, he was adamant Gaza cannot be returned to being overseen by remnants 

of surviving Hamas elements, those capable of destroying Israel etc.


The various issues of each party are legitimate save, perhaps, those by Hamas,
possibly language intruded by Qatar in support of Hamas and irrepressible Palestinian

 haters..

Obvious the overlapping and crisscrossing produces dynamic obstacle 

pathways towards a peaceful resolution.

How this Gordian Knot is resolved is anyone's guess.
