... And he still speaks of convincing people? What is needed is war against the Erev Rav, not words.
At least Rabbi Ronsky got it right - partially. Maybe thanks to him at least some people will awaken. But even he warns against even raising a finger against the Amalekites. How foolish: how on earth are you supposed to fight a war of passive resistance against a heavily armed enemy? The government is already speaking of sending thousands of troops there. It is like saying to the Jews of Warsaw, just resist passively; seriously, idiotic, recipe for failure, recipe for masses of people being hurt, maybe even killed; wrong, wrong... I guess his position doesn't allow him to tell the whole truth.
May Hashem give us the wisdom to know exactly how to handle this situation.

Rav Ronsky: Give 'Em Hell in Beit El
Former Chief Military Rabbi wants large scale passive resistance, says "rules of the game have changed" since 2005.

Brigadier General (res.) Rav Avichai Ronsky, the former Chief Military Rabbi, issued a call through
Arutz Sheva Wednesday for Israelis to come to Beit El and join the struggle against
the destruction of 30 homes in the Givat HaUlpana neighborhood.
Rav Ronsky, who heads the Itamar Yeshiva and is a part of
Naftali Bennett's new faction in
the Jewish Home,
explained that he is less naïve than he was during the 2005
"Disengagement" pullback from Gaza. "Since that sorry expulsion, the
rules of the game have changed," he said.
"I have sobered up in the course of the last year," he said. "There
is a battle of titans here inside our society, a struggle for the
character
of the country. Will the state of Israel be Jewish and democratic, or
will it be 'a country of all its citizens.' And on the other side we
have all kinds of elites that are close to the media and are also inside
the systems of the state and the State Attorney's Office, for whom the
end justifies all means."
Those who hold Israel's character dear must come to Beit El, he said.
"We have to go there and protest. Protest like we did in the distant
past in Samaria. In all of the times we ascended to Elon Moreh, when
there were attempts to evict, we lay down on the floor. The soldiers and
police took us with their hands. That is passive resistance, but when
many thousands are there, carrying out the eviction is a very difficult
thing."
"We must not be naïve and sit on the sideline and let the convoy pass as the
dogs bark,"
the rabbi added.
"We need a harsh protest here, of course – without
raising a hand on soldiers or cursing, but rather a tough passive
protest by masses of Jews."
Rav Ronsky said that he is convinced that this is a war against the
forces of evil. "Any thinking person who sees the coldness and meanness
of the authorities, both legally and morally, understand that there is a
wicked intention here, which cynically uses all means including lies."
Rav Ronsky said that his eyes were opened when he saw the
representatives of the State Attorney's Office lying. This happened, he
said, when a parole committee was convened to decide whether Shlomi Dvir
and Ofer Gamliel (
of the "Bat Ayin underground" group) could go free after serving two thirds of their jail sentences.
"I saw with my own eyes how the representatives of the State
Attorney's Office lied," he recalled. "I gave an affidavit in which I
said they were lying, and I was ignored. That is shocking and as far as I
am concerned, that is when things changed. Government officials lie to
advance their world view."

Expert: Court Acted Illegally in Ulpana Case
Legal expert Attorney Aharon Papo: The residents of the Ulpana neighborhood weren't properly represented.By Elad Benari

Legal expert Attorney Aharon Papo said on Wednesday that it is now
clear beyond any doubt that the Supreme Court order to demolish the
Ulpana neighborhood in Beit El was illegal.
Papo explained in a conversation with
Arutz Sheva that the demolition order is illegal because the Court did not hear the position of the neighborhood’s residents.
“The Supreme Court acted illegally in this case,” he said. “How could
it be the Supreme Court issued an order following a petition without
giving the residents a chance to respond to the petition and defend
themselves?”
He said that the fact that the petition of the leftist organizations,
headed by Peace Now, against the Ulpana neighborhood was accepted, did
not exempt the judiciary system from
protecting the defendants.
“How could the State Attorney’s office accept the claims made in the
petition without holding a hearing on it?” said Papo. “The Supreme Court
always says that whoever may be affected by the petition must be a part
of it. The respondents in this case simply did not receive any
representation.”
Papo added that he believes the Ulpana case must go back to the
Court, saying, “This is legal practice in all petitions; a person who
may be affected by the petition must be represented.”
“The residents of the Ulpana neighborhood
should have
responded to the petition and taken an attorney to argue in their
defense,” he said. “They could have offered to compensate the landowner,
if there is one, or to expropriate the land. They would have required
those left-wing organizations and Arabs to prove their claims in the
Magistrates Court or in the
District Court. The order was given here without justice being done.”

Ashton: Settlements are the key obstacle....
May I also remind you how NATO decided to tackle the Israel issue piecemeal, as they realized that they didn't have the manpower or the means to do it all at once. This is why we see this drip-drip effect, one settlement at a time. This is their tactic; let's stop being blind and see the ongoing implementation of their strategy.
Make sure to read the two follow-up articles here, the first one of which contains a radio show interview, on the Barry Chamish show. Please listen to it, you won't be sorry.
You can also read the preceding two articles here, they have additional information about the Erev Rav and Amalekites, in particular, and some cosmological - is that a word? - perspective.

Thanks. I saw some of our 'soldiers'
today: no Jew to be found among them. How much longer are we going to
tolerate this? The IDF and/or the israeli police managed to attach to itself types the likes of
which were responsible for pogroms in old Europe. Really time to open
our eyes to the reality. Somebody has to speak up, it is not going to
get better on its own, everybody is so scared, so brainwashed, so meek:
one would think it is old Europe all over again.
Even when the Jews had to face the Philistines they were petrified;
when they had to face Pharaoh's army they were petrified. Jews have been
cowards for times immemorial. We are one cowardly nation. Then came
David who did have the guts, and Hashem helped him: it only takes a few
courageous ones, and everything can change in an instant. What we need
is sudden enlightenment, sudden understanding of our predicament. We are
facing the Philistines, and we are scared. The goons, the Yassams, the
Turks, the Druze, the Russian goyim, the Arabs that Ehud Barak enlisted
in the IDF are scary, they are big, "like giants". We need to find the
same spirit Yehoshua and Caleb had, we need to understand that against
these brutes it only takes one David who has Hashem's blessings, and
that's it, they will flee like flies and topple over.
