by Moshe Burt
(Please note that all these people are doing is praying. There is no desecration. Thats right "anti-Zionists, go ahead and exaggerate the truth and lie and distort the TRUTH!!!!)
The English translation of the caption: Extremist settlers desecrate the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Yom Kippur 5771: Kohanim and the Jews; Do the Jews Measure Up as Paradigm for Mankind?
The Mussaf portion of any prayers; Yom Tov, Rosh Chodesh, Shabbos represent the essence, the main point of that day.
On Yom Kippur, the essence of the service, the ikar is the avodah of the Kohen Godol. So much so is this the case that the Mussaf service centers around the order of the Kohen Godol's service in the Kodosh Kodoshim (the Holy of Holies in the Beit HaMikdash). The service includes all of the preparations which the Kohen Godol makes prior to the service, the clothing he must wear at each step of the avodah, the number of times that the Kohen must bathe himself prior to each change of clothing and before each step of his service, the drawing of lots determining which goat is for Hashem and which for The Mountain of Azazel (the goat designated by lot to bear the burden of death to rectify B'nai Yisrael's sins) and more. And by virtue of our being Hashem's "most favored nation", The Kohen Godol is to the Jews a paradigm of Hashem's blueprint L'Chat'chila (the way things should be), of what the Jews are to represent to the other nations of Mankind.
Just as the Kohen Godol will be the Kli in praying for forgiveness of sin when we will again have the Beit HaMikdash, the Kohanim are the Kli of the Avodah of Tefillah, of prayer, both for service to Hashem and for conveying Divine Brachot upon B'nai Yisrael in our times in Galut when we still lack our Beit HaMikdash. By extension, the role of B'nai Yisrael, of all of us, is to be emulate the role of the Kohanim for Am Yehudi, to be as Priestly to the gentile world, to be examples of upright morality, closeness to Hashem rather than a factionalized, equivocating, hypocritical, anti-Torah, disunified group.
This author recalls the times, over 62 years, when gentiles expressed to me pride and admiration for an Israel which didn't quake, quiver or waver before an Arab foe bent on her destruction, that she did what she had to do to defeat the foe decisively and totally. It is still recalled how, while in traffic court fighting a ticket on the Eve of the first Gulf War, that a gentile policemen came and asked that we Jews pray for America in that war.
But sometime in the past few generations, particularly over the past 20 years, we looked the other way regarding our Brothers' matzav, we forgot Torah and abandoned HaKodosh Borchu as was stated in Parsha Vayeilech (Sefer Devarim, Perek 31, posuk 16);
And so it is that many today have forgotten Torah; have forgotten why there is an Eretz Yisrael, why it was given to the Jews for all time, why it is that we are living here now, why the land laid totally fallow in the years that our aveirot brought Hashem to banish us from it and how it is that Eretz Yisrael has thrived and flourished ONLY upon our return. We are blinded and forgetful, even now -- over 5 years later, to the fact of how Jews returned to Gaza making it bloom and how, after the expulsion, Gush Katif is nothing like the beautiful, flourishing place that it was when 9,000 Jews lived, worked and davened there -- and worked the land.
And so, uncomfortable Jews question:
And there are these words:
Undoubtedly, not many Gentiles can admire an Israel whose anti-Torah, anti-Jewish governance quakes before the nation's existential enemies, rejects all connection to Hashem and Torah, shamefully turns their backs on their every ally; from Jonathan Pollard, to the South Lebanese Christians, to the Druse, to the Arabs who literally risk life and limb to supply intelligence to the IDF, to allies in the U.S. Congress. Not many Gentiles can admire a morally hypocritical Israel, perceived based on such governance; as cowardly, as utterly lacking in national pride and self-image and giving away its land as but "another piece of real estate" -- cow-towing to the "bishop", seemingly in dread submission to super-power pressure. But in truth, this feigned submission disguises the true aims of Israel's governance, bureaucracies, institutions, universities and media; to erase, expunge and eradicate anything Jewish from the Israeli soul -- national security and survival be damned. And so, Israel's governmental leaders shake and quiver before and send soldiers with paint-guns to confront armed terrorists on a flotilla. In no way should moral hypocracy and bankrupcy be a paradigm of the Jews to be viewed by mankind when we ought to project as "a light unto the nations."
May we pour our hearts out to Hashem on Yom Kippur with purity and deep sincerity leaving "nothing in the locker-room" on a national level as well as individuals. May Hashem grant us a happy, healthy and sweet new year, a new year where a Jewish governance of national pride and self-image replaces the current shameful state of Israeli governance. As Rabbi Moshe Ungar would always say before a fast back in Philly, back in the "old country", "Daven hard, fast easy" -- Tefillah Kasher V'Tzom Kal!
But as we daven, we need all keep in mind the words of this golden oldie:
May we, the B'nai Yisrael be zocha that our brethren -- the refugee families from Gush Katif be permanently settled and be made totally whole, that our dear brother Jonathan Pollard, captive Gilad Shalit and the other MIAs be liberated alive and returned to us in ways befitting Al Kiddush Hashem. May we have the courage to prevent the possibility of Chas V'Challila any future eviction of Jews from their homes and the handing of Jewish land over to enemies sworn to Israel's and Judaism's destruction and eradication. May we fulfill Hashem's blueprint of B'nai Yisrael as a Unique people — an Am Segula, not to be reckoned with as with "the nations" and may we be zocha to see the Moshiach, the Ge'ula Shlaima, as Dov Shurin sings; "Ki Karov Yom Hashem V'Kol HaGoyim", the Ultimate Redemption, bim hay v'yameinu — speedily, in our time", — Achshav, Chik Chuk, Miyad, Etmol!!!
Good Shabbos! L'Shana Tova! Easy Fast!

The Huffington Post
Surprise, Surprise! Palestinians Won't Recognize Jewish State! Richard Z. Chesnoff
"The Palestinian Authority will never recognize Israel as a
Jewish state,..Such a declaration would directly threaten the Muslims
and Christians in Israel and prevent Palestinian refugees, who left
their homes and villages a number of decades ago, from being granted the
right to return to them."
-- Senior Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath shortly after the start
of US sponsored peace talks
This rather shocking comment made at a Ramallah press
conference last week by one of the supposedly more "moderate" members of
the Palestinian leadership produced headlines throughout both the Arab
world and Israel.
Amazingly it received nary a mention in the major American
media!
As Mr Shaath well knows, Israel was established and
internationally recognized as a Jewish state more than 60 years ago. He
also knows that Arab refusal to recognize that fact is at the very core
of the Mideast conflict. So how does Shaath expect to win Israeli
confidence and concessions for peace if Palestinians still refuse to
accept Israel's Jewishness?
And why is Mr Shaath so worried about Israel's Arabs, that 20
% of Israel's population of 8 million whose forebears were smart
enough not to run away during the 1947-48 Arab launched war? Surely
he knows that Israeli Arabs - Christian, Druze and Muslim - are full
fledged citizens of the Jewish state. They occasionally face problems -
but they always vote, elect their own members of parliament, work in the
Israeli government, in Israeli industry, agriculture and commerce, are
doctors and nurses in Israeli hospitals, teachers and professors in
Israeli schools and universities, serve in the Israeli army if they
wish, share in a democratic system unmatched in the Middle East and
enjoy a standard of living that is the highest of most Arabs anywhere!
Mr. Shaath also fails to explain that when he speaks of "a
Right of Return" he's not referring merely to survivors from 1948's
original 700,000 or so Palestinian refugees. He is talking about all
their descendants - four (sometimes five) generations of them - roughly
4 million souls by Arab count! Does the Palestinian leadership really
expect Israel to commit demographic suicide as part of a "peace deal"?
The Palestinian exodus during the Arab war on nascent Israel
is part of history.. Most fled out of fear of war, others because they
were urged to make way for "victorious" Arab armies, and some - but
certainly not most - because Israeli troops drove them out in the heat
of battle.
Other mid-20th century refugee problems were all quickly
settled (the millions who simultaneously fled Pakistan and India, for
example). But the Arab refugee problem was made to fester with the
compliance of the Palestinian leadership. Israel, with millions of
Jewish refugees at its gates, understandably refused to allow a hostile
Arab refugee mass back onto Israel's sliver of land.
The Muslim world turned its back on its brethren. With the
exception of Jordan, no Arab state has ever granted Palestinian refugees
citizenship let alone a permanent home on any of its millions of open
acres . Instead Palestinian Arab refugees were kept penned up in
overcrowded refugee camps - tent cities that have become squalid towns.
They still live off massive international welfare doles, are used as
political pawns by corrupt officials, and sit waiting for Israel to be
destroyed so they can invoke a "Right of Return".
Compare that to the other, lesser know Mideast refugee crisis
that coincided with Israel's birth - the forced exodus of almost 900,000
Jews from their centuries old homes in the Arab world; from Iraq, Syria,
Lebanon, Yemen, Aden, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia , Algeria and Morocco.
These Jewish communities, some of which had existed 1000 years before
Islam, were rich in culture, with their own Judeo dialects and
traditions, their own scholars and religious literature. The true story
of this other Mideast refugee saga, is now told in a powerful new book
by prize-winning British historian, Sir Martin Gilbert called "In
Ishmael's House; A History of Jews in Muslim Lands" (Yale University
Press).
To be sure, says Gilbert, Jews in the Arab world were subject
over the centuries to occasional violence and forced conversion. Nor
were they ever accepted as anything but Dhimmi - "protected" but
always second class citizens.
Still, by 1947, close to a million Jews lived in the Arab
world. Many played primary roles in local economies, global trade, and
medicine. Some became senior advisors to kings and presidents and helped
enrich the cities of the Arab world ((EG Baghdad's pre 1948 Chamber of
Commerce was 50% Jewish).
The historic decision to establish the State of Israel changed
all that. Outraged by the idea of even a tiny Jewish state in their
midst (and with an avaricious eye on their Jewish citizens' belongings),
the Arab world turned on its Jews, targeting them with legislated
discrimination, government sponsored anti-Semitic riots and murderous
pogroms. Faced with growing threats, outright violence (some were hung
for public amusement) and moves to completely disenfranchise them, close
to 900,000 Jews were forced to abandon their ancient homes between 1948
and 1967. In Cairo, the former home of Egypt's wealthiest Jew became the
residence of the Egyptian president.
[Photo: Right: Egyptian Jews being deported]
Almost all were eventually "allowed" to leave their native
lands on condition they signed agreements never to return and - most
important - to leave their property and belongings behind. Recently
uncovered documents indicate that much of this massive theft was a
coordinated scheme by several Arab governments to grab Jewish property
worth as much as $100 billion today.
Left: 1951, Baghdad Jews line up outside a synagogue to forfeit property
to the Iraqi government and register for emigration permits.
Today, with the exception of small communal pockets in Morocco, the Arab
world is effectively Judenrein. Egypt which once had 180,000 Jews now
literally has a handful of mostly aged Jews living in Cairo and
Alexandria; Iraq which had 160,000 Jews now has 10, Libya and most other
Arab states have none.
But here comes the difference between the fates of Arab and
Jewish refugees. While the corrupt Arab world condemned Palestinian
Arabs to statelessness, squandered opportunities to make peace with
Israel and stole mega-millions in welfare funds, the Jewish state and
the world Jewish community worked tirelessly to resettle its fellow Jews
from Arab lands. More than half a million have settled in Israel where,
after early years of economic and sometimes social hardship, they and
their descendants have been successfully integrated and now form more
than 50% of the Jewish population. Others found new homes in South
America, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, United States, Canada -
rebuilding lives while trying to retain their own unique cultural ties
and communal institutions.
[Photo: On wings of eagles; Yemenite Jews Are Flown to Israel]
Most important, not a single Jew from the Arab world remains a
"refugee", not one lives in a squalid camp or demands UN funding or a
"Right of Return" to the Arab world. Above all, not one angry Arab born
Jew has ever strapped a terrorist suicide bomb to his or her waist and
climbed aboard a bus to murder dozens of innocents.
There are reports Shaath is fighting to win the primary seat
on the Palestinian negotiating team. The buzzing swarm of apologists for
the Palestinians will argue that Nabil Shaath's statement was strictly
for "Arab street consumption". Therein lies the problem. It's time for
the Palestinian leadership to tell their people that the only hope for
peace is a two state solution - to recognize Israel as the Jewish one,
to build permanent homes for Arab refugees in the Palestinian Arab one
and to seek resettlement for those who can't fit on it in other Arab
lands.
Won't somebody please send Mr. Shaath a copy of Sir Martin's
new book?

Hamas PLC Speaker Ahmad Bahr: 2.5 Million Virgins Await the Prophets, the Righteous, and the Martyrs in a Single Palace in the Garden of Eden In a recent speech, Hamas PLC Speaker Ahmad Bahr, extolling the virtues of martyrdom and Jihad, said that 2.5 million black-eyed virgins were waiting at the gates of a single palace in the Garden of Eden, a palace which could be entered only by prophets, by the righteous, and by martyrs:"In the Garden of Eden, there is a palace... with 500 gates. At every gate, there are 5,000 black-eyed virgins.' Brothers, 500 multiplied by 5,000 is 2.5 million." In the speech, aired on the Hamas-owned Al-Aqsa TV on September 5, 2010, Bahr also said: "When a man is having sex with his wife, he should be praying for a son who would wage Jihad for the sake of Allah... As long as we continue on this path, nobody on Earth will be able to confront the resistance, or to confront the mujahideen, those who worship Allah and seek martyrdom."

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
2.5 Million Virgins Await Prophets, the Righteous, and Martyrs Ahmad Bahr: "It is said that 'Omar [Ibn Al-Khattab] wished to become a martyr. It is said that one day, 'Omar addressed the people: 'In the Garden of Eden, there is a palace – hear me well, brothers – with 500 gates. At every gate, there are 5,000 black-eyed virgins.' Brothers, 500 multiplied by 5,000 is 2.5 million. [...] "He said that only prophets may enter this palace. He looked at the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad, and said: 'Blessings, oh Messenger of Allah. Only the prophets and the righteous may enter the palace.' Then he turned to the tomb of Abu Bakr, and said: 'Blessings on your martyrdom for the sake of Allah.' Then 'Omar said: 'Martyrs [enter the palace] too.' Then 'Omar said, as if to himself: 'Blessed be your martyrdom, oh 'Omar.' [...]"
The Israeli-Palestinian Talks "Are Aimed at Uprooting Islam and the Resistance Here in Palestine, in Gaza" "Ibn Hajar explicated a hadith, saying: When a man is having sex with his wife, he should be praying for a son who would wage Jihad for the sake of Allah. If this is the culture of the nation today, who will be able to stop it? Brothers, on the Night of Al-Qadr, bestowed upon us by Allah, I say to you: As long as we continue on this path, nobody on Earth will be able to confront the resistance, or to confront the mujahideen, those who worship Allah and seek martyrdom. "I say to you, loud and clear: the negotiations, conducted first in the U.S., then in Sharm Al-Sheikh, and wherever, are aimed at uprooting Islam and the resistance here in Palestine, in Gaza. [...]"
Israel should not be fearing world opinion. Israel should be making the world fear her!!!
