Coronavirus Part V: urgent update: Remember, the Jihad is alive and well; is this one of the reasons there are so many coronavirus cases in Jewish communities all over?



To all,

This is so sickening Ein Milim: look what I found on Zerohedge: this video was filmed in Sweden. Notice the RACE of the youth? Remember there are huge numbers of these so-called refugees - in reality hateful Muslims- in Sweden, so much so that Jews are afraid to live there. It seems they are not only dangerous to Jews, but to whites altogether: you know that the Jihad is alive and well, and those Untermenschen somehow think they will own Europe - and America too - soon, and they would do whatever it takes to accomplish their goal. Until now it was suicide bombings, car rammings, knifings: is this their new weapon? After all several antisemites suggested to do just that, I don't know who those antisemites are since they usually publicize their rantings under fake names. I asked one of my correspondents, Mefaked..., ( he is a self-defense expert who knows the streets of New York very well from a security angle ) the following question: 

"Tell me please, ...: quite a few antisemites made threats to come to Jewish neighborhoods and deliberately infect people by coughing on them if they are infected, or bringing items covered with the virus. Do you think they might have executed their plans, or is it just hate speech?"

This is what Mefaked... replied:

"We’ll never know,,,,, but when you give an enemy an easy weapon I might suggest they would use it. 
The only deterrent at this time I think is that unlike  the suicide capable militant Muslims, the white supremacists are actually chickens and since it is likely they have friends and family dying from this, they would not risk their own lives to deliver their message in this manner.   This is just my opinion."


Well, this sickening video shows who is doing it in Sweden.


Read the text about what happened in Sweden here: not really a Swedish young man, clearly: 
https://www.zerohedge.com/health/authorities-blast-swedish-teens-over-deliberately-coughing-elderly-virus-challenge

Who is to say Sweden is the only place? Whoever knows Arabic, maybe it would be a good idea to follow their conversations, specially on the dark net, and see what they say to each other. Anybody an Arabist here?

I would also like to ask whoever lives in New York or any of the cities with large such populations to make sure they have their camera ready if they are outside and see something like this, and to quickly film and then make sure to post it on the internet with a comment.

Actually here in Israel we have a similar phenomenon, and shockingly the police is apparently supporting them. WHO ON EARTH IS GIVING DIRECTIVES TO THE POLICE IN SOUTH TEL-AVIV???

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/278126

And what is going on here? Arabs ( Muslims) certainly don't want to be restricted, how dare we, right?

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/278223

I think it is high time to seriously address this new threat, look for evidence everywhere that their publicized plan is being fulfilled. This is terror, no different from stabbings or car rammings, no matter how old the perpetrators; after all in Israel too very often terrorists are teenagers; so what? Who is sending them? Who gives them directives? WHO IS REALLY BEHIND ALL OF THIS?

What else do you expect from the UN and its many tentacles?? Can you quote one good thing about that despicable organization?

UNRWA tweets in support of terrorist, then deletes it

UN agency for “Palestinian refugees” glorifies PFLP terrorist, deletes tweet and blames "unauthorized access" to its Twitter account.

Flash 90
UNRWA, the UN agency for “Palestinian refugees”, on Monday posted a tweet glorifying a Palestinian Arab terrorist, then deleted the tweet, blaming what it alleged was "brief, unauthorized access" to its Twitter account.
The controversial tweet was documented by the Geneva-based watchdog UN Watch.
UNRWA's tweet had glorified Ghassan Kanafani as a "famed" Palestinian writer, when in fact he was spokesman and right-hand man to the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist group, when it orchestrated the Lod Airport Massacre in 1972, in which 26 were killed and 80 injured.
UNRWA’s tweet echoed complaints by Arab Israelis after a recent memorial to the terrorist was ordered removed in the Israeli city of Acre.
“There has been a brief, unauthorized access to UNRWA’s twitter account,” the agency later tweeted. "Measures are in place to prevent a reoccurrence. UNRWA is in the process of changing the password for its twitter account.”
Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, posted a screenshot of the deleted UNRWA tweet.
“UNRWA backs Ghassan Kanafani, spokesman of PFLP terror group when it perpetrated 1972 Lod Airport Massacre, killing 26—17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, a Canadian citizen and 8 Israelis—and injuring 80. Why do EU, UK, Germany & Canada fund UNRWA?” he wrote.

Why do EU, UK, Germany & Canada fund UNRWA? https://twitter.com/UNRWA/status/1077140765225222144 

“I hope that UNRWA’s removal of its shameful tweet indicates its recognition that it is inappropriate for a supposed UN humanitarian agency to be pronouncing itself on political controversies, let alone celebrating a terrorist involved in mass murder,” Neuer said in a statement.
“UNRWA receives massive financial and political support from Britain, Germany, Sweden, the EU and Canada, and they each bear responsibility; it’s time for those governments to demand basic accountability,” he added.
“We remind UNRWA that support for terrorism constitutes a gross violation of the UN Charter as well as UNRWA’s own internal policies concerning neutrality and impartiality, including with respect to public pronouncements.”
“I’m concerned that today's tweet reflects systemic radicalism within UNRWA that adversely reflects on the agency's integrity, independence and impartiality.”
“As we have documented in numerous reports, UNRWA has a pattern and practice of employing teachers who glorify Jihadist antisemitism and anti-Israel terrorism, amounting to a gross violation of its duty of neutrality. UNRWA must stop engaging in political, racial, religious or ideological controversies,” concluded Neuer.
Created in 1949, UNRWA supplies aid to more than three million of the five million people who are registered as “Palestinian refugees” in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and territories assigned to the Palestinian Authority.
However, it is also notorious for its anti-Israel activities. During the 2014 counterterrorism Operation Protective Edge, Hamas rockets were discovered inside a school building run by UNRWA.
Likewise, a booby-trapped UNRWA clinic was detonated, killing three IDF soldiers. Aside from the massive amounts of explosives hidden in the walls of the clinic, it was revealed that it stood on top of dozens of terror tunnels, showing how UNRWA is closely embedded with Hamas.
In a more recent incident, the director of UNRWA operations in Gaza expressed his supportfor the anti-Israel marches along the Israel-Gaza border and pledged that the organization’s medical centers will provide care for “Palestinian refugees” who might sustain injuries during them.
The US announced several months ago that it would be cutting its funding to the controversial UN agency. However, since that time UNRWA has received pledges of $100 million in additional funding from countries including Qatar, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, New Zealand, Norway, Korea, Mexico, Slovakia, India and France as a means of making up for the aid that was cut by Washington.
Just last week, the European Union announced it would commit a further 20 million euros ($23 million) to the agency.

Happy Chanukah! When this rabbi speaks, I listen - he's got a bigger head on his shoulders than all his detractors combined - confabulations about him notwithstanding.

A friend sent me this: I feel compelled to share it with all of you because it does have the ring of truth, coming from a source of deep Torah knowledge and understanding. I know, the Rav speaks with great flourish, but try to listen to his underlying message, which is unmistakable: only mass prayer to Hashem at the Kivrei Avot can save us now. I believe him. Not to mention that the whole world is also in complete Tohu Vavohu in case you haven't noticed, equally in weather, political, and financial terms.

Writing this from Rome where I am stuck for Shabbat Chanukah despite my plans, sitting on a super volcano ready to erupt any time now - not soon enough: I hope it takes the Vatican where it belongs already!

Shavuah Tov and Happy Zot Chanukah; and Chodesh Tevet Tov!



This Sunday night, Zot Chanuka, Rav Eliezer Berland has called for a huge prayer gathering in Hevron, the city of the Patriarchs. The Rav has put out a number of urgent messages in recent days, encouraging people to attend the event, and underlining the importance of participating – because the situation is looking extremely grave.
Here is the full translation of the Rav’s most recent message:
(If you can help to defray some of the expenses of the tens of buses that are being chartered to and from Hevron for Sunday night, please click HERE to donate.)
“The whole of Am Yisrael is currently facing a terrible, threatening situation. Every part of Israel is now under threat of being deluged with rockets. After we saw 400 rockets falling on Ashkelon and the surrounding cities, including Beer Sheva, Netivot, Ofakim and Sderot, now they are preparing thousands and thousands of rockets, which will reach to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
“And we have no possibility of stopping this from happening, because the whole world is against us. They can launch 10,000 missiles, and if we fire back even just one, they will say that we are the aggressors, and they are the victims.
“They will say that we began [hostilities], and that they are simply defending themselves.
“We have no [military] might, we only have the power of tehillim (psalms). All of the State of Israel’s efforts to stop the missiles of Hezbollah and Hamas ended in failure. Every day, we are threatened with thousands of new rockets. They can reach any target precisely…
“Am Israel is in the greatest danger, mamash, and our only possibility of coming through this lies in our mouths: “The voice is the voice of Yaakov, and the hands are the hands of Esav.” (Bereishit, 27:22).
“We are now, mamash, at the final moments that we can stay in Eretz Yisrael, in the State of Israel, because the goal of the Arabs is to destroy everyone here. They don’t care if its dati’im (observant Jews), chilonim (secular Jews), Chareidim, Neturei Karta - they aren’t interested.
“They want to annihilate every single Jew, until the very last one of us – regardless of whether he’s secular, or religious, or Mizrachi (Sephardi traditional), or kipat srugah (National Religious).
It’s written: “And I will divide them, into the light and into the dark” (Bereishit 1:4).
They are not going to distinguish between the ‘light’ and the ‘darkness’. Right now, we are all in the gravest danger, mamash.
So, we need to really urge people to attend this Prayer Gathering, so that almost 50,000 thousand people will come.
“And everyone should read the whole of the Book of Tehillim, which will [form] the shoes for the Shechina, the shoes of Yosef [HaTzaddik], that the brothers quarreled about. Because, never before have we heard of a brother selling his brother for a pair of shoes. The ikker (main point) is that a brother shouldn’t sell out his own brother. (The argument was really over whether they should finish the whole book of Tehillim the whole week, which is the ‘shoes of the Shechinah’.)
“This was the real argument between Yosef and his brothers…and so, every single person is obliged to complete the book of Tehillim at the Prayer Gathering, and to make good use of this opportunity for 50,000 people to say tehillim together.
“This will (be considered in Heaven) as though a billion people are saying tehillim (psalms), and this will certainly stop the tillim (rockets).
“Only tehillim can stop the tillim – not the IDF, not weapons, not tanks, not Patriot missiles, no Iron Dome – none of these things can stop the missiles. Only the tehillim that we will say at this Prayer Gathering can stop the missiles.
“And in the merit of this, everyone will have a long life, like Yitzchak, in the merit of participating in this Prayer Gathering.
“There is also an obligation to donate to help defray the expenses [of hiring the buses], 1,500 shekels, because hundreds of buses will be needed. And the Rav will of course be coming, without doubt.
“The whole of Am Yisrael is invited to come to the Prayer Gathering, and to finish the book of Tehillim, and this will erase Hamas from the face of the earth.”


PS: December 10th: 

I managed to attend, arriving just on time after my return from "the other side" ( Arameic translation: the Sitra Achra - we know what that is! ) literally, i.e. Rome. It was an awesome event! I don't believe close to 50,000 attended, but still it was a very large and significant crowd easily in the thousands. After 100 or so Tehillim were recited by a Chazan, the Rav arrived, lit the Chanukah Menorah, and then the singing and dancing began: wow, what joy, what energy, what enthusiasm, what uplifting and extraordinary music: it felt just like Meron on Lag Baomer! I was delighted that they even managed to sing Bar Yochai songs; I absolutely loved the Atzeret, and so did everybody present. After that the Rav led a Tikkun Klali and some prayers, and then people started home - it was about 4:00 AM. To say I was happy I went is an understatement, although I have to make it clear I am not one of those (very special) women walking around looking like nuns, and probably never will be. Still, I appreciated the event very much. Specially, the fact that it was in Hevron made it so much more powerful; there is no way to deny it: Hevron has an energy all its own which makes things deep, intense, joyful and amazing. So, get ready for next Chayei Sarah, or, if you are in a hurry, Pessach!.... Hopefully with the Rav too, B"H; he magnifies the power of Hevron multifold, just watch the video below and I am sure you will agree with me: what a great union, a Yichud mamash, a Chibbur as in "Hevron"!


DS


See here the video of the event starting from the lighting of the Chanukah Menorah by the Rav: didn't he actually bring Meron and the light of Kabbalah to Hevron? Amazing.





UPDATE,  December 11th: :

Do you trust Rabbi Glazerson's work with Torah codes? Is he a respected Talmid Chacham? Do you mock his discoveries or don't you? If not, then look at what I just stumbled upon, then make up your own mind: unbelievable! I wonder what the relationship is between the two Rabbanim.

You just never know: the Hand of God leads one from minute to minute. I was looking around, ready for a nice, interesting YouTube program.... and found this, and the one above... can we understand Hashem's ways???


DS








UPDATE December 24, 2018, midnight Israel time, going on December 25th - interesting timing - just as the goyim are lighting their own lights and candles to worship their idol!


I had an interesting insight, looking at my Hevron calendar coming from the Jewish community of Hevron;  they had the intuition to add this year, as a passuk at the bottom of the page of the month of Tevet, the following Zohar ( Zohar Chadash):

"Why is Hevron called Kiryat Arba ( the City of the Four)? That name is based on the FOUR ELEMENTS: Fire, Air, Water and Earth /Dust"

Well, to think of it ( I should know, I live here!), at this season, in the depth of winter, in Kiryat Arba-Hevron, we have plenty of air ( strong winds), plenty of water ( plentiful rains, specially this year), and plenty of dust ( we constantly have to battle dust here, coming from the desert). What we don't have is FIRE. 

Of course Chanukah brought the element of fire with its lighting of the Menorah. 

But what Rav Berland did, in effect, by lighting the Menorah here on Zot Chanukah, is bring his own fire - he has plenty of fire! - , the light of the Zohar, the fire of Meron, and the greatest oil lighting/fire of Chanukah to the Mearah. That was the element missing, and Rav Berland COMPLETED the four elements with his august presence. That was truly a kabbalistic Yichud in my understanding. He brought the missing heat, the missing light, the exaltation - just listen to the music and look at the lights!!!! to cold, wet, stormy Hevron. In effect he fulfilled the essence of Kiryat Arba-Hevron, the City of the Four.  It is a principle that whatever happens in Yerushalayim has to first happen in Hevron. So who knows, maybe by "completing" Hevron he made it possible for Yerushalayim in turn to reach completion?

.... And just today we heard that we will have new elections. Will Mashiach be the next ruler of Israel??

Thank you, Rav Berland!

Animals! And I don't mean MS-13. This breaks my heart - and is in a way a continuation of yesterday's post. ... Goes to show you.

 ... Of course I am speaking of these unspeakably sickening Fakestinians, terrorists by nature, hateful even from their mothers' wombs. A "non-people" if there ever was one.

These animals are so envious, so evil; they can't even stand Jewish trees, for G-d's sake! So imagine what they do to people; just reshaim she be reshaim, evil as can be. May G-d give them their just deserts very, very soon.

URGENT NOTICE! A chance to make a difference: if you live in Israel, Yesha, and particularly around Jerusalem, please come stand with Asher Palmer, HY'D's father and Jonathan, HY"D's grandfather at the next court hearing of their savage murderers. Shabbat Shalom.

Who Will Stand With the Victims of Terror?

The family of Asher and Jonathan Palmer has called for the public to come support them at the next hearing in their murderers' trial.

Supporters of the terrorist murderers of Asher Palmer and his infant son Jonathan were allowed to come to the first hearing at the court where the trial is being held.
Michael Palmer, Asher's father, sent Arutz Sheva a letter in which he asked to publish his request that the Israeli public to come and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the family at the next hearing in two weeks.
"In the previous hearing, approximately 20 supporters of these terrorist killers sat in court, encouraged them, and shouted cries of support," Palmer explained. "My other son and I, just the two of us sitting alone, represented Asher, little Jonathan and all the victims of terror in Israel."
"You can imagine the pain we felt when we saw the murderers receiving vocal support for killing my son and my grandson, and we were alone," wrote the bereaved father.
Palmer informed Arutz Sheva that the next hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., on March 11, at the Ofer military base. The hearing is open to the public, but everyone entering the court has to be cleared by security first.
Those interested in supporting the Palmer family in court should email Michael Palmer by March 6 at mcpfiveone@gmail.com, so that he can submit the names to the army for security clearance.
Asher Palmer, 25, from Kiryat Arba, and his son Jonathan, a one-year old, were murdered five months ago while traveling on Route 60, near the village of Halhul, north of Hebron.
Arabs hurled large stones at Palmer's vehicle, one of which smashed through the window and struck him in the head. Palmer lost control of the vehicle, which rolled of the road killing him and his son.

 I contacted Asher Palmer, HY"D's father, Michael, asking for details, as I myself would like to go there and show support. I also contacted certain friends of mine who are showing interest. Please let's be there as a group; this is our chance to effect a change and awareness of the terrible situation on our roads in Yesha. This is what he sent me, below; no excuse not to go, there is public transportation, it is a public hearing, it is in the Jerusalem vicinity - all it takes is MOTIVATION! 

After being firebombed less than a week ago in Beit Umar, watching the bus I was sitting in catch fire, smelling the petrol, and seeing the impotence and deliberate neglect of these life-threatening situations by the IDF, I am more than motivated.

Please join us, and let us report publicly on what happened at the hearing.

Shabbat Shalom.

The Beith Din of 71, the 'Sanhedrin', is taking a stand regarding deliberate disarming of Judea and Samaria Jews. Thank you, rabbis!


For translation, please use the box in the sidebar, or Google Translate.
And here is my response to this declaration:


Dear Rabbi Stein:

  It is very good and courageous that you are telling people to refuse to hand over their weapons: it could put you on "their" black list, if you are not there already. However, how practical, how possible will that be? What will the police's response be to such behavior? Will they attack, even kill, a person who refuses to hand over his or her weapon?
 Still, it is wonderful that some rabbis are finally taking action in this matter.

On the other hand, very importantly, your letter fails to mention the DELIBERATE disarming of the settlers. Take Honenu's Zangi, for example ( SHmuel Meidad): He is becoming very much  a thorn in the side of the Supreme Court, the left, etc. So he is on their ELIMINATION list, obviously.( Please review the information which I have repeatedly posted about this matter, last in the post about Rav Lior). There is a very clear plan to eliminate leaders of the settler movement. Both of the people mentioned in your letter fit the picture, and both had their weapons taken under spurious pretexts, and withheld in an apparently negligent manner. Of course there is nothing negligent about it, it is wholly deliberate. The aim? MURDER. Let the Arabs do the dirty work of the police, the Shabak, Peres, Rome, etc. Somebody from the Shabak, or whoever, will tip the Arabs as to the whereabouts of the targeted person, and surprise, surprise, that person will be attacked by Arabs. Oh, those bad Arabs; what horrible terror, etc.

But WHO PLANNED THE TERROR ACT? WHO CONDEMNED THESE PEOPLE TO DEATH? That question needs to be addressed publicly too. I don't know if your Beith Din will have the courage to do so, but unless these questions are openly asked, nothing will change.

At any rate, thank you for a good beginning. Yasher Koach to your Beith Din for their courage to at least do this.

By the way, for years already my family has been refused a weapon for self-defense.

And see in the following post how the exact same scenario is being played out in Arizona, how law-abiding citizens of the opposition, 'good' Americans who refuse the New World Order and corruption, are being targeted for murder by a criminal police chief and his minions. 

Shabbat Shalom

Your thoughts? Question of false flag attack in Norway. In addition, evidence of close collaboration between Fatah and Norway, right at that camp!



 I really haven't followed Norwegian politics, but the way Alex Jones puts it, it  reminds me of the Rabin assassination and other staged events here. What do you think?? See various responses in the 'Comments' section.

It would also explain the discrepancy between Anders' manifesto ( which I did not read, just reviewed what intelligent others said about it) and this massacre.

( According to Aryeh - or is it Jack? -:

"The only thing that occurred to me was that he targeted the Marxist cabal that is pushing multiculturalism in order to destroy Western Civilization and institute totalitarian control. This place was the summer camp of the socialist party establishment. 
 His manifesto is not a "rant." It is an entirely lucid, logical, orderly, researched and positively scholarly exposition of the history of Islamic brutality, social dysfunction, mass murder and genocide. I have not read it all, of course, and probably never will but that much stands out boldly on every page. If it were written by a big-time university professor, it would be taken to be authoritative. It would be vilified, of course, b/c it is so NOT PC and all, but authoritative. No one would even try to confront it. They would just shout it down, like Joan Peters' From Time Immemorial. It would change the mood and tenor of the presentation of multiculturalism. It would be the ever present elephant in the room. Peruse it and you will see. It is no rant.

Another interesting question: perusing it, more or less at random, there seems to be nothing in it about doing anything like what he did. Bringing up the Crusades in the 12-minute video, and the way it is presented, clearly contemplates civil war to eject the Muslims from Europe, it is true. But an armed attack on teenagers at camp, murdering them face to face or as they fled, over an extended period of an hour and a half? That seems stunningly out of the blue.)"


Meanwhile, the fact is, Norway, and in particular the Norwegian Labor Party and its minions, really, really deserved this tragedy; they were, among others, close associates of Fatah! See below, and the Norwegian response to this attack. Any more doubts as to where Norway stands? With friends like these, who needs enemies.



 Fatah Youth condemns Norway attacks, over 90 killed
Monday 25/07/2011
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Fatah Youth released a statement on Saturday condemning attacks in Norway which have reportedly killed over 90 people.

"It is with consternation that we have received the dramatic news of an awful terrorist attack against a summer camp ran by our comrades of Norwegian Labor Youth 'AUF,'" the statement said.

The Fatah Youth group had taken part in the summer camp in the past on the Island of Utoya, near Oslo, where over 90 people were reportedly killed in a shooting spree on the Island and a bomb attack in Oslo on Friday, news reports said.

"Fatah Youth declares its consternation about the terror attack. There are no words to describe an attack against people that have been our comrades in our struggle for freedom and independence. Very few people have stood by our side as much as the Norwegian people, and particularly our AUF comrades."

"We know those who have been cowardly assassinated. Those are people that have stood for the human and national rights of the Palestinian people both in Europe and while visiting Palestine.

"Fatah Youth has participated for almost 15 years in the same summer camp and our youth has benefited by learning and sharing experiences on democracy and advocacy for peace and justice.

"We hope that those responsible for this criminal terror attack will be brought to justice. Such sick minds should not have a place in any society.

"As a people that has been victim of state terror for the last 64 years, the Palestinian people and particularly Fatah Youth presents its condolences to the families of those killed and sends a strong message of support to our comrades from the Norwegian AUF as well as from other sister parties that were participating in this summer camp," the statement concluded.

Envoy contrasts terror in Israel, Norway



July 26, 2011 JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Norway's ambassador to Israel drew distinctions between the Oslo and Utoya massacres and Palestinian terrorism.
Svein Sevje said in an Israeli newspaper interview Tuesday that while the Norwergian bomb and gun rampages that killed 76 people and Palestinian attacks should both be considered morally unacceptable, he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases."
Palestinians, the ambassador told Maariv, "are doing this because of a defined goal that is related to the Israeli occupation. There are elements of revenge against Israel and hatred of Israel. To this you can add the religious element to  their actions."
"In the case of the terror attack in Norway, the murderer had an ideology that says that Norway, particularly the Labor Party, is forgoing Norwegian culture," Sevje said, referring to suspect Anders Breivik, a Christian nativist who is opently anti-Islam and anti-immigration.
Unlike European Union states, Norway has engaged Hamas and often been fiercely critical of Israel, to Jerusalem's dismay.
While Sevje voiced sympathy for Israeli terror victims, having experienced "the inferno" of such attacks during his posting, he saw little chance of Norway reviewing its Middle East policies.
"We Norwegians consider the occupation to be the cause of  the terror against Israel," he said. "Those who believe this will not change their mind because of the attack in Oslo."
He added, "Can Israel and the Palestinians solve the problems without Hamas? I don't think so."
