TALIBAN JEWS CAN'T BE REASONED WITH
This conflict is shaping up in predictable fashion. If Christian Zionists had hoped of falsely re-enacting events of 2,000 years ago in hopes of ushering in their bogus second coming, the scenario that is about to unfold is eerily similar to events during biblical times when Judea rebelled against the Romans. I have always believed this would happen and have said as much that the settler wackos would revolt against the atheistic secular state of Israel.
They would carry the mantle that they are the true super "Jews" who must restore the Mosaic commonwealth. Forget about peace folks, these Jews are on a masada trip and they are going to take the entire world down with them if we allow them. The Christian Zionists are only happy to push American aid and egg them to fulfill their false theological dreams of an Armaggedon bash.

Rabbis' Union rails against road map
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent, and Reuters
Hundreds of rabbis on Monday denounced the
U.S.-backed road map to Middle East peace, urging
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon not to hand over
biblical land in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for
a Palestinian state.
"We speak on behalf of the
Jewish people - past, present
and future. It is forbidden to
give the land away," Shalom
Gold of Jerusalem's Har Nof
congregation said at a
conference called by the
Rabbis' Union for the People
and Land of Israel.
Formed by Orthodox leaders opposed to 1993
interim accords giving Palestinians limited
self-rule, the Rabbis' Union was mostly dormant
until Sharon accepted the road map and its
vision of a new Palestinian state co-existing
with Israel by 2005.
The Rabbis' Union reflects the rancor of
Israel's right-wing. This has only increased at
the sight of the army dismantling unauthorized
unauthorized settler outposts in the West Bank
as required by the road map, which Sharon
affirmed at a June 4 summit with Palestinian
Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.
"The terrible act of evacuating outposts is
liable to lead to an all-out plan of uprooting
settlements," the Rabbis' Union said in a
resolution. "The government is under a biblical
prohibition against evacuating any outpost or
settlement."
Rabbis have urged settlers occupying the hilltop
redoubts to resist passively. But there have
been scuffles with security personnel as well
as injuries - reminiscent to many, of the
infighting that preceded the 1995 assassination
of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by an
ultranationalist religious Jew.
On Monday, a representative of some 250,000
settlers called for recruits in the fight
against the road map.
"We have decided to struggle against this," Zvi
Hever of the Yesha settler council told the
Rabbis' Union. "We are asking you to do all you
can to enlist people for this cause."
“We have never been in such danger as we
are now,” said Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, the
rabbi of the West Bank Jewish settlement Elon
Moreh to 500 of his colleagues at a meeting of
the Federation for the People of Israel and the
Land of Israel in Jerusalem Monday.
“The government has decided on alien
sovereignty over the land of Israel and the
earth is burning beneath our feet. We are
defending with our bodies against the great
danger every single moment and we have no rear
lines. I call upon the great rear line to arise
and come to life, from Metulla to the Negev.
The truth must be reawakened. And meanwhile we
shall remain on the hilltops, as a spearhead
with no rear lines.”
Former Sefaradi chief rabbi Rabbi Mordechai
Eliyahu said: “No one in the world, from
drawers of water and hewers of stone to prime
ministers, has the right to give up one grain
of the land of Israel. The Holy One, blessed be
He, gave us the land of Israel. There is
holiness in every single grain.”
He also said that if a Jew eats the fruit of a
tree that a gentile has planted and cultivated
in the land of Israel, he is obligated to tithe
the fruit. Furthermore, he said, “The
houses could today be the private property of
an individual Gentile, but when the Messiah
comes we will ask the Gentile to pay
rent.”
Rabbi Avraham Shapira, a former Ashekenazi chief
rabbi, said that handing over territories is a
“particularly grave transgression.”
Rabbi Avraham Druckman, the head of the Bnei
Akiva yeshivas, asked: “Have we been
dazzled? Have we been taken over by blindness?
The road map is worse than Oslo, and now after
more than 1,000 dead and thousands of wounded
and disabled, the eyes of the government have
ceased to see.”
Beit El Yeshiva head Rabbi Zalman Melamed said
that at Yitzhar there was “martyrdom for
the sake of the Holy Name... For every outpost
that is evacuated, five new ones will
arise.” |
