Tikkun Olam

Today there was a new type of terror attack in Yerushalayim. An Arab drove a bulldozer through a major street deliberately targeting civilians in private cars and public buses. He drove into two buses repeatedly until they overturned, and he drove over several cars, crushing the occupants. A brave young off-duty soldier took the initiative and climbed onto the bulldozer in an attempt to stop the murderer. He succeeded in shooting the driver several times, and finally a police officer also climbed onto the 'dozer and put the final shot into him. Read more about this young man who helped save countless lives, here . Below is the Israel Channel 10 video (also on Tamar Yonah's blog on Israel National News, Arutz Sheva): This is the second terror attack on civilians since the Mercaz HaRav murders of eight young unarmed Yeshiva students. Thank G-d, at least in this attack in Jerusalem, there more people who were ARMED, were already there and ready to TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATE...

(This post is a bit long, but please bear with me...) I had already joined Manhigut Yehudit ("Jewish Leadership") a year or two ago, when just recently I discovered they also had a site on Facebook; so I joined that, too. Why did I do it? It's because I saw no other Israeli politician, nor any other spokesperson for Israel other than Moshe Feiglin , its Founder and President, Shmuel Sackett, its International Director and Yehudit Dassberg, their Eretz Yisrael activist--who were able to cut straight to the point of why and how Israel should exist as a Jewish State , as opposed to merely a "state of the Jews." I read one of his books, Where There Are No Men , and it made a lot of sense to me and spoke to my soul. It reminded me of Rav Meir Kahane's The Jewish Idea. It seems to me that this is a good time--right after we mourn the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash on Tisha b'Av, and right after Israel is again trying to appease the PA, this time by r...

My "Open Letter to the World" which I had placed as a permanent addition to my sidebar has suddenly disappeared from my blog. Hmmmm...you think it might have been politically incorrect??! Here it is again; of course, Rabbi Kahane was right. The world was just not ready for him yet. The question is, is the world ready for him now. . .? (if there are any techies out there who know how to get it back on my sidebar, please email me!)

Yes (sigh), we are dealing with pure evil here. I feel like hitting the world over the head with a baseball bat. They don't see it? They don't care? They wait until it's coming to a theatre near you? Problem is, it already came; they saw the film and didn't get the message. Am I referring to Harry Potter (Voldemorte=Hezbollah)? Not really; it's a metaphor for Israel , the * Islamo-Fascist Evil , and the world's lack of response). (*credit for this term goes to Michael Savage, conservative talk-show host.) Ok, folks - the comedy hour is over for now, although I might post some jokes here again some day. Israel is now into a so-called 'cease-fire' (- translated into Arabic it means 'time to re-arm.') after not really having 'won' anything (despite what our illustrious Mr. Malaprop-er, President said) and suffering terrible losses of outstandingly good and exceptional soldiers and civilians. These soldiers, such as Roi Klein (zichrono livrac...
