Judaism and Gentile religions

The Jewish People nowadays find themselves, usually inadvertently, committing a grievous sin. In the name of Political Correctness, tolerance, and the equality of all people, we, even the so-called Orthodox and the rabbis, espouse the lie that Judaism is on par with other religions, that our Torah and our creeds come from the same source as their’s. This is a disgusting lie, in which we not only deceive ourselves, if in fact we as Torah observant Jews believe that nonsense, but also deceive honest Gentiles in their search for a connection to the Almighty G-D. The Torah forbids us to put a stumbling block before the blind. Now of course, this has more than just the literal meaning to it. It can be interpreted to mean that a Jew is not to deceive one who is not knowledgeable intentionally. We, as the People of The Book, as the People to whom HASHEM revealed Himself, and to whom He sent his Prophets, the descendents and students of the Talmudic Sages, we have an advantage over the Nations of the Earth in respect to knowledge of the Divine. The Gentiles, on the other hand, as Yehuda Levi in his book Al Khazari(Ha Kuzari) explains it, are descended of Ham and Yaphet, to whom matters of the Divine are obscured, as they did not possess the essence of Noah, as did Shem, who passed it on to Eber, to Peleg, to Abraham, who in turn passed it on to us, the Children of Israel. The Gentiles are descended of idolaters, of Nations to whom HASHEM has not made Himself known. These are not my words, but this is the discourse between HASHEM and Moshe Rabbenu, during Moshe’s second set of 40 days atop Mount Sinai(after Het Egel HaZahav and the smashing of the first Luhot, carved out by HASHEM and inscribed by HASHEM). After the spiritual fall of Israel from the heights of angelic beings which they reached with the utterances of "Naaseh v’Nishma’"(We shall do and we shall obey. Onkelos renders "nishma’" as obey instead of "hear"). With this utterance, the People of Israel showed that they were totally submissive to G-D, as were the angels, and this was set upon the Jews as two crowns: one for we shall do, and the second for we shall obey. With the Sin of the Golden Calf, these two crowns were taken away from Israel, and so Moshe Rabbenu feared that HASHEM would depart from Israel and choose another nation or people. Ever the loving leader, Moses pled for Israel’s sake, not only that HASHEM would restore His Presence to Israel. He pleads, "If I have now found favor in Your eyes, my Lord, let my Lord go among us- for it is a stiff-necked people, and You shall forgive our iniquity and our error, and make us Your heritage." With this Moshe asked HASHEM to truly make Israel a Goy Kadosh (a separated, set apart, Nation). Rashi, based on Talmud Berachot, contends that Moshe’s request was that not only HASHEM not destroy Israel and restore His Presence to Israel, but that He not rest His Presence or grant prophecy to any other people or nation besides Israel. To this HASHEM replies, "Behold! I seal a covenant: Before your entire people I shall make distinctions(Niflaot, rendered as such according to Ramban, Rashi) such as have never been created in the entire world and among all the nations; and the entire people among whom you are will see the work of HASHEM-which is awesome- that I am about to do with you." Here HASHEM responds with favor to Moshe’s request, and from that moment on, anyone who proclaimed himself to be a newly arisen prophet among the Nations was to be discounted as a liar. Thus Mohammad, the Bhudda, Baha’u’llah, Guru Nanak, Krishna, and all others are outright false prophets and liars. Any claims they made are discounted solely based on this. Even if they were to preach the Torah verbatim and call the Jewish People to HASHEM, they are not prophets, for only a son of Israel can be a prophet. Jesus, yimah shemo u’zichro, is discounted by a multitude of verses in Deuteronomy. Before I go further, I must expound on a certain misconception we Jews have: Jews and Christians DO NOT worship the same G-D. HASHEM, the G-D of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the G-D of Israel who has given us the eternal Torah, is One(I.e. a Unity, unlike any other for He is Unique, Ayn Yahid Ki Yahido. I have contemplated this concept over and over, for in this world there is no such thing as an absolute one. Everything is made of parts, those parts made up of cells, the cells of molecules, the molecules of atoms, the atoms of neutrons and protons and electrons, and recently discovered is that those are made up of strings, and even these strings might be composed of smaller parts. HASHEM, on the other hand, being that He is Unique and Immaterial, is the Absolute One, for He is like nothing we know or can comprehend. As He said to Moses, none can see HASHEM‘s face and live. Here, so He will show Moses His Back. "Face" and "Back" are not literal, as HASHEM is not a man nor is He corporeal. Face is a full understanding of HASHEM and His ways. These are above even the level of Moses, the greatest man to ever live, the father of the prophets before and after him. As HASHEM is inconceivable, so is His "make up", as it were. To call Him a Trinity is a disgusting oversimplification of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, into something our feeble minds can comprehend, yet we end up with a confusing anti-Biblical doctrine which makes less sense than a giant elephant carrying the earth on it’s back. As HASHEM is like nothing in this existence or any other, as He is the Unique One, as He is called in Genesis 3:22. Nothing in this existence is a true absolute unity, for they are material. HASHEM is not material, and He is an absolute Unity), Incorporeal, Eternal, Unborn, with no progeny(I,e, a literal son) unaffected by physical phenomena, untouchable, Immortal, with neither shape nor form, who cannot be killed or harmed in any fashion. The Christian idol on the other hand is a triune, three in one, composed of father, son and "holy" spirit, he was born of a woman’s legs, he is his own father and thus has a son by generation, he has a body, he has been tempted by what Christians call the Devil, he was challenged, killed as a criminal, requires blind faith as opposed to intelligent obedience and actions, and is claimed to have descended into hell and "resurrected". The same Deity CANNOT have both of these sets of characteristics. If a guy named Bob is fat with blue eyes and blonde hair, and another one named Bob is skinny with green eyes and red hair, they are NOT the same person. Now that we have established that Jews alone worship HASHEM, while Christians worship their own fancy, we are directed to the qualifications of a prophet from Israel to be recognized.
-Deuteronomy 13:2-11
On these grounds we see that Jesus tried to lead Israel to worship a god other than HASHEM, for we have not experienced the deity of which he speaks, only have we experience HASHEM, and there are no other gods or deities besides Him. Jesus by his many actions also violated Deuteronomy 13:1, forbidding adding or subtracting from the Law of G-D, the Torah. The fact that this verse comes right before the verses that tell us how to identify a false prophets indicates that a false prophet would try to change the Torah. Yes, we all know the "not one jot and not one tittle shall pass…" speech, but actions speak louder than words, and on many occasions Jesus not only violated the Torah, but encouraged others to do so as well. So therefore he is unequivocally a false prophet, preaching a non-Torah doctrine and whatever he says is not of HASHEM. The same, actually, applies to Mohammad, Baha’u’llah, and other preachers of new "Abrahamic" faiths. There is an age old adage which I paraphrase concerning these works of man’s fancy called religions and it states, "What is true is not new, and what is new is not true". As the Vilna Gaon said, there is no Torah among the Gentiles, meaning we can learn no religious truths from the non-Jews. ZERO. NONE.
Aside from this, Judaism has a unique character, a trait that it alone possesses among the religions of the world. The Torah itself testifies that never had a people experienced such a thing as the revelation of the Torah. This unique trait is mass witnessing of the Revelation at Sinai. Over 2 Million Children of Israel stood at the foot of Sinai and heard the Voice, they saw the fire and the thunder, they experienced it all firsthand. Now, is there any other religion under heaven which makes such a claim? Jesus supposedly performed miracles which are documented nowhere else but the "New Testament" in documents written at the earliest a century and a half after the supposed date of his death, and attributed to Paul, a man who had neither seen nor heard Jesus firsthand, but merely had heatstroke on the way to Damascus. Mohammad received his revelations from Gabriel in some obscure mountain, far away from the sight of anyone. No one else ever saw Gabriel descend and dictate the Qur’an to Mohammad. Al-Bab(Literally "The Door" in Arabic. NOT "The Gate" as the Baha’is would tell you. Gate is "Bawwaba") preached nothing new when he "foretold" the coming of a new prophet. In fact, his "predictions" arose from an ancient Islamic sect called the Khawarij who foretold the coming of a Persian prophet who would reveal a divine religion with a new sacred book on part with Judaism(lihavdil), Christianity and Islam. Baha’u’llah simply capitalized on this. No one ever saw him perform miracles, mass crowds never witnessed him receiving the Kitab-I-Aqdas, as he was in a prison cell the whole time it was "revealed" to him. As we can see, only Judaism has the aspect of mass witnesses. The others, just mass acceptance on the basis of blind faith. Judaism does not rely on faith. Not once in the Torah are we asked to BELIEVE in HASHEM, but always to KNOW. Judaism is based on logic, reason and knowledge. This with the Mass Witness of the Sinaitic Revelation makes the Torah the litmus test for all other prophets and creeds to come after it. If they do not agree with the Torah, then they are falsehood.
Our mistake as Jews, as those who know the truth, is to allow these Gentiles to believe that 1) Religion is based on faith and not on hard evidence. 2) That their religious creeds have some respect in the eyes of Jews and Judaism and 3) engaging in dialogue with these religions, thus giving them importance and legitimacy, for a dialogue always implies that we have something to learn from their religious creeds(The Vilna Gaon strictly opposed this, he said only in secular matters we can learn from them). Here we break three commandments of the Torah, 1) not to add nor subtract from the Torah, 2) Idolatry and 3) Placing a stumbling block before the blind.
By saying that the doctrines and books of other religions are from G-D, seeing as how they contradict the Torah, we are adding new things to the words and Laws of HASHEM. We are proclaiming that worshipping a dead man on a cross, an idol from Arabia or the pantheon of Hindu gods are acceptable in the eyes of HASHEM. This is not so. HASHEM revealed only one creed to man, and all others are unacceptable, their creeds and modes of worship are worthless. For a Gentile to enter Olam HaBa, they must not blaspheme in the name of HASHEM or commit Avoda Zara. We are supposed to be a Light unto the Nations, HASHEM’s Chosen to spread knowledge of the Holy One to all the nations of the earth. We are not doing our job. I am not saying bring them to Torah as Jews, but simply to expose the falsehood of their creeds, and not to pander to their whims, to what they want to hear, to what will please them and make them like us while we betray our roots and our Torah. The Rambam states that it is forbidden even under penalty of death to deny Him or His Torah. We are denying Him and His Torah for a kind word and approval of idolaters!
"Al taamod al dam ra’echa" the Torah tells us. Do not stand idly over your fellow’s blood. We are standing idly by while Gentiles destroy their souls with man-made religions of falsehood, and we do not lead them to the true and rightful path. It could be said because of our idleness that the Crusades, the Inquisitons, the progroms, the Islamic conquest and modern Islamic terrorism is our fault. Our failure, as the standard bearers of humanity, to stamp out these corrupt man-made ideologies led to their spread by the sword, and their perpetuation by the sword. The sins of Christianity and Islam are our fault, for with our knowledge of HASHEM and His Torah, we could have eliminated these ideologies before they started. I believe that leaving the early Christians to their devices, to continue to preach and spread their idolatry in the midst of Israel, is but one of the reasons that we were exiled. Christians would contend that it was because we did not accept Jesus, but that is an idiotic statement as we were returned to the Land of Israel without accepting Jesus. So Jesus is irrelevant. Obviously is was some other sin of ours, for which we are still being punished, this time with the rod of Islam. It is time that the Jewish People lived up to their name as HASHEM’s Chosen People to be a Light Unto the Nations and that we begin reversing the tide of these idolatrous faiths, as now they have begun to consume Israel. The words of Eliyahu HaNavi ring clear in this situation, "How long will you tarry between two masters? If HASHEM is G-D, then follow Him. If the Baal, then follow it." So to my Jewish brethren, especially those steeped in Torah, how long will you recognize other deities in HASHEM’s presence? If our Torah and our G-D are Truth, then are we not obliged as the Light Unto the Nations to spread this word among the Gentiles, so that He will be One and His Name will be One?
Do we as Jews realize that, according to the Rambam based off of the Talmud, Christians and Muslims have no share in Olam Haba? Who does not have a share in the world to Come? He who denies the Torah(I.e. the one we have today) was divinely revealed and the apikoros. This is from the Mishna. So the Muslims who believe the Torah in our hands today is corrupted have no share in the World to Come, and the Christians who believe that the Torah is no longer valid after the death of Yoshke have no share in the World to Come, unless they believe that this is the Torah of Sinai and is still in effect today. According to the Rambam, in Yad Teshuva 3:6-8 states, "The following have no share in the world to come, but are cut off, and perish, and receive their punishment for all time for their great sin: the minim, the apikorsim, they that deny the belief in the Torah, they that deny the belief in resurrection of the dead and in the coming of the Redeemer, the apostates, they that lead many to sin, they that turn away from the ways of the [Jewish] community... Five are called 'minim': (1) he who says there is no God and the world has no guide; (2) he who says the world has more than one guide; (3) he who ascribes to the Lord of the Universe a body and a figure; (4) he who says that God was not alone and Creator of all things at the world's beginning; (5) he who worships some star or constellation as an intermediating power between himself and the Lord of the World.
"The following three classes are called 'apikorsim': (1) he who says there was no prophecy nor was there any wisdom that came from God and which was attained by the heart of man; (2) he who denies the prophetic power of Moses our master; (3) he who says that God has no knowledge concerning the doings of men.
"The following three are called 'koferim ba-Torah': (1) he who says the Torah is not from God: he is a kofer even if he says a single verse or letter thereof was said by Moses of his own accord; (2) he who denies the traditional interpretation of the Torah and opposes those authorities who declare it to be tradition, as did Zadok and Boethus; and (3) he who says, as do the Nazarenes and the Mohammedans, that the Lord has given a new dispensation instead of the old, and that he has abolished the Law, though it was originally divine"
You disagree with the holy Rambam? Fine. But can you disagree with David and Shlomo? In Tehillim 110:10, King David states, "Reshit Hochma Yirat HASHEM" , In Proverbs 1:7, Shlomo states, "Yirat HASHEM reshit da’at hochma". In Proverbs 9:10, he states, "Tehilat hochma Yirat HASHEM v’da’at kdoshim binah". This might seem irrelevant, but ok. Bear with me. Knowledge of HASHEM is the beginning of Wisdom. So one must be wise. The Talmud says, "ain am ha’aretz hasid". The first Law for the Ben Noah is to worship HASHEM. How can you worship Him properly, if you are following a corrupt line of thought? The only way to truly know how to worship and believe in HASHEM is through Torat Moshe. Without that, who knows what you are worshipping? Take the Qur’an. Allah is NOT HASHEM. Allah is the name of a pagan moon god from Mecca, whose name was Allah Hubal, Hubal the Deity. He was the Cheif Deity of Mecca. Is this HASHEM? NO! When a Muslim says the Shahada, he is in fact saying that there is not god but Hubal! So he is breaking the essential commandment, the miztvah reshit of all the mitzvot. The first commandment for Jew and Gentile is, "Ani HASHEM Elokechem". It is also halachically agreed that if one performs the mitzvot because, simply, they make sense, without first understanding that HASHEM, G-D of Israel, revealed and requires them, then it is not acceptable. As we can see, only Jews and proper Bnei Noah have this understanding. But we are a tiny, tiny, tiny drop in the bucket for the rest of humanity. Without Torah, no man can come to a proper understanding of HASHEM, for HASHEM revealed the Torah and ONLY the Torah as His Law, as the path to Him. The Qur’an, the Vedas, the New Testament, the Kitabi-Aqdas, these are all falsehoods and lies, the rationalizations of man, the works of mortals, and that imperfect at best and way off the mark at the worst. If this is the case, if this is what our sages are telling us, then what gives us the right to tell the Christians, the Muslims, the Baha’is and the Hindus that they are on the straight and narrow? We are lying, placing a stumbling block before the blind! These people did not have prophets to lead them to HASHEM, that is our job! Our tikkun in this world is to spread recognition of the Almighty, not to allow these people to continue in their self-delusion. This will be called into account more so against us than them, if it will be called against them at all. If their religions are acceptable to HASHEM, why then do we do all in our power to prevent Jews from attaching themselves to these false ideologies? There shall be one law for you and for the stranger among you. There is only ONE G-D, Perfect , Who does not make mistakes nor does He recant, His Word is Eternal. HASHEM did not create Jew and Gentile, He created Man and Woman. So why would it be proper for a Gentile to worship a stone, while we worship Him? It is NOT! In the Flood, He punished all of Mankind for disobeying Him. Since He does not recant nor change, that standard is still the same today as it was then. Are they not our fellow human beings? Do we not have an obligation towards them as well as Jews( Jews must come first, of course). Surely, if it is bad and harmful for us, we should not wish it on other people nor allow them to continue in it. If your cousin were doing drugs, would you allow him to do it, even though you yourself know it is bad and evil and harmful, and would never do it yourself? Why then is it ok for our fellow Man to be immersed in idolatry, while this is so repulsive and harmful to us and to HASHEM, yet we allow and encourage them in their path to spiritual destruction? And for what? So they will remain happy with us, and pleased with themselves? Is this true love of one’s fellow man? Pro 27:5 Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden. As Rabbi Hillel said, Love your fellow as yourself, the rest is just commentary. In no way am I endorsing through this that we love the Gentile more than the Jew or that we place the interests of the Gentiles above out own. But bringing these people into a proper understanding of G-D would virtually remove any animosity they have for us, and would usher in an era of Peace and Knowledge of HASHEM under the banner of Mashiah ben David. So in a way, it is in our best interest as well that the Gentiles truly know that HASHEM, He is The G-D, in Heaven above and on Earth below there is NO OTHER.

Israel's Cancer

Have you ever wondered why Israeli society is plagued with immorality? Why our youth have no convictions and are trying their hardest to be Hebrew Speaking Greeks and Americans? Have you evern contemplated on why Israel is faced with terror, war, constant threats of annihalation? Why the populace is living in fear of the next bus bombing?
The answer is not as complicated as you might think and in fact might be our fault. These problems have arisen because Israel has a tumor, one that we have allowed to grow unchecked for 60 years. This cancer I shall call the "Stranger in our Midst". I can just imagine the outrage of both religious and secular Jew as you read that last line. I just described the resident stranger as a cancer, something that could be considered a violation of the Torah, an outrage which goes against the very halacha that states that we are not to opress the stranger even by reminding him or her of their idolatrous origins. Well, all my Hasidim, Haredim, and Hachamim, maybe you should recheck your Halacha. The Halacha of the resident stranger, the Ger Toshav, does not apply to the Non-Jewish Tumor in Israel. In order to be considered Ger Toshav, and live in Eretz Israel, a Righteous Gentile must accept upon themselves the 7 Noachide Laws. In our day, even this case does not apply, for if that were the case the Druze would be considered as Ger Toshav. We cannot have Ger Toshav unless we have the Yovel, and since the count of the Yovel has fallen into disuse, in our day there is NO Ger Toshav, and therefore no non-Jew can live as a citizen of a Jewish State. FIRST MISTAKE.
The Torah, HASHEM Himself, commands us to expel the non-Jewish residents of the Land who do not accept the status of Ger Toshav, lest they be thorns in your eyes and thistles in your sides. Since we have no Ger Toshav nowadays, how come there are over 3 Million Arabs alone in the territory of Medinat Israel? They have indeed been thorns in our eyes and thistles in our sides, just as the long extinct 7 Canaanite nations of old were. The Arabs' very presence disheartens Jews, and causes us to water down our Zionism and our Judaism to accomodate their presence. In order to make Israel a "State of all of its citizens" we have to remove Torah, the very essence of Jewish morality and principle, from the public and hide it. The reason for this is that if we use one part of Torah in public, what stops us from using the other Laws that might be displeasing to "our Arabs", whose alleigance we think we have bought with a check and indoor plumbing? So, the price we pay is a great one: we are losing our youth and our morality. Drugs, promiscuity, teenage pregnancy, porn stores and gay parades in Jerusalem, crime, intermarriage, apostasy, and the IDF turning into a brothel of drunkards and whores with no discipline or character. This is happening because of the Culture of Guilt that exists in Israel, exacerbated by Oslo Syndrome(Israel's unique version of Stockholm Syndrome) and the lack of authentic leaders with backbone to stem this deadly tide. We compromise one aspect of who we are to please those bent on destroying us, then nothing stops the snowball effect of throwing out everything that makes us Am Israel and not Hebrew Speaking Greeks. When we lose that, we lose everything, we lose our souls and our country, for if we throw out what formed and sustained us as Jews, then nothing is too precious. And the Arabs know this and they are biding their time. They grow in numbers and strength, both physical and ideological, while we weaken ourselves in both to please. They are now 20% of our population, and still growing. They will use our democracy against us to take over, and we allow it. They will be thorns in your eyes and thistles in your sides. SECOND MISTAKE.
The Torah commands us to smash the altars and high places of the idolaters in Eretz Israel, to destroy all houses of "worship" that are not dedicated to HASHEM, be they Jewish or Gentile, to slay their priests and eliminate their cults from our Land. This is ONLY in Eretz Israel. Can someone give me a count of how many Churches and Mosques there are in Eretz Israel? Regardless of what your opinion may be, Christians and Muslims do not worship the same god, and they both do not worship our G-D. The Islamic "diety" is Allah, and the Christian "diety" is Jesus. The Jewish Diety is HASHEM. They are NOT one in the same. So, how many of these temples of baal exist in our Land? I mean, THERE IS A MOSQUE ATOP THE TEMPLE MOUNT. Actually, there are maybe 3 or 4. One of these, the Dome of the Rock is located over the Foundation Stone and in the exact same place where the Holy of Holies used to stand. In the same place where the Ark of the Covenant was housed and the Shechinah would rest, the stone from which all of the world was created, where Adam, Abel, Noah, Abraham, Jacob and others all built altars dedicated to HASHEM, now the name of an alien diety from Arabia is praised there. It is as if to say that HASHEM has been "replaced", as it were, in His own House by another "master". The outrage! And more than this, Jews forbid other dati loyal Jews from even mentioning HASHEM's Holy Blessed Name atop His Holy Mountain under threat of arrests or violent removal. Jews have "kicked out", as it were, HASHEM from His House and have "put in His stead" an alien diety and made it unchallenged master of the house, going so far as to punish those Jews who would disturb this dead idol by trying to return the House to its rightful Master. The rest of Jerusalem is full of more mosques and churches, full of idols, idolatrous prayers calling non-dieties the creators of the universe and the masters of all that is, and this is occurring in HASHEM's Holy City, the City upon which He declared His Name forever, the City that testifies to His Majesty and Rulership. Now, it testifies to Jesus with the countless Churches and Christian missionary centers, and every mosque of idolatry.This is not the end of the outrage. In every city there are countless Christian missionaries who go about unhindered stealing the souls of HASHEM's people to worship a corpse in His stead, in His own Land. The further outrage is that these activities, which have been successful in making Jehovah's witnesses and protestants out of Jews and laid the groundwork for at least 12 Messianic "synagogues" in Israel, are protected by the Israeli government as "freedom of religion", although Israel's laws forbid prostelyzing and consider any Jewish apostate's citizenship as forfeit. When righteous Jews, outraged at this occurrence respond by the only means they have, religious protests, the army and the police are unleashed against them with brutal force never to be used against the worst enemies of Israel. When Jews dismantle these houses of idolworship, they are arrested and tried. On top of that, when Muslims destroy or attack a synagogue(like those in Hevron or Gaza) and Jewish holy sites(like Joseph's tomb) and destroy the structures, desecrate holy books and sacred objects, the army, government and law enforcement are completely silent, producing not even the slightest response in defense of Judaism. On the contrary, the government withdraws its forces from the area and hands it over to the enemies of Israel.Countless sites in Israel are used for pilgrimige by these idolaters, and even some Jewish holy sites have been turned into either Muslim or Christian holy sites. A few examples are Ma'arat HaMachphela in Hevron, Elijah's grotto and David's tomb. In the site where our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried with their wives Sarah, Rebecca and Leah(as well as Esau's head), there is a mosque. Our father Abraham's coffin is adorned with Islamic tapestries, and the prayers of the Muslim faithful never cease from there. What does Abraham have to do with Islam? What relation does he have to their abominable faith and their abomination allah? NONE. He was a Hebrew, father of Hebrews, a servant of HASHEM. Even Ishmael, the father of the Arabs, would be outraged to see his father's grave desecrated in such a way. Elijah's grotto now resembles a tiny Christian monastery, complete with crucifixes, candles, icons and other idolatry. This is how a great and righteous prophet as Elijah is commemorated? By crucifixes and prayers to him and to Jesus! If my information is correct, the site where King David is buried also doubles as a place of worship for Christians. The sweet singer and psalter of Israel who wrote the most beautiful praises to HASHEM has to suffer to hear chants to an idol! The names of these prophets of HASHEM, these servants of HASHEM, are being desecrated and insulted, and His People, the same people to whom these prophets belong and to whom they came, allow this sickening display to occur. Will HASHEM not act?! Will He not punish?! Surely He will, and He does.Any visitor to Haifa, if asked about the most dominant structure in the city, would definitely cite the Baha'i World Headquarters/Temple. We Israelis and Jews have no authority over this site at all. The people inside, these idolaters, they have no respect for Torah, for Judaism, for Israel or for Jews. The use our hospitality, while they view as as no better than the Muslims who murdered their cult's founder!(This was told to me by a Baha'i). These people also have what I call Davidic Envy, the pathological need of the "Abrahamic religions" to STEAL the Davidic Throne from Jews and attribute it to an important figure in their religion. These idiot Baha'is, without a shred of proof, claim Baha'ullah was of David and the Messiah. They also believe that in time, they will rule a one world government earth with no borders, one language, one currency with them at the head of it all. They want to strip everyone of what they are and then lord their idiotic nonsensical religion over us. OVER THIS JEW'S DEAD BODY, and over my dead body if the center from which this divine communism will spread will be located in my country! Btw, on the Davidic descent, for one to be considered a legitimate descendent of David he also has to be of the tribe of Judah, and to be so, he has to BE A JEW. Baha'ullah did not have a Jewish mother, therefore even if he was a descendent of David(and I doubt the Davidic seed could become that corrupt), he was not a legitimate heir to David's eternal throne over Israel. Allowing idolatry to flourish,encouraged by Jews, and for Eretz Israel to be used as an instrument for the idolatry is surely a consequence of the Culture of Guilt and the removal and decentrilization of Torah. MISTAKE THREE.
Israel allows its enemies to call for its destructions in the streets, on the radio, and even in the Knesset. And these are not Lebanese or Syrians, but Israeli Arabs. In Yaffa, a Jewish city since time immemorial, Jews are afraid to leave their homes because Arabs run around screaming death to Jews, waving hamas flags and marching in favor of these terrorist organization. During the Second Lebanon War, when rockets were raining on Haifa, the Arabs of Haifa came out and marched...IN SUPPORT OF HEZBOLLAH, with chants like "Ya Nasrallah, Ya Habib, Fajjir Fajjir Tel-Abib"(Nasrallah, our beloved one, blow up, blow up Tel-Aviv) and encouraging Nasrallah(who voiced his apologies to Haifa's Arabs for shelling their homes) to continue sending Katyushot down on Haifa as long as he continued to murder Jews. In the Knesset, scum like Azmi Bishara and mamzerim of his ilk are allowed to call for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish State, and to travel to enemy nations such as Lebanon and Syria and meet with enemy leaders like Nasrallah and Al-Assad and reveal Israeli state secrets without even any fear of reprecussion when they return home. Yet if we Kahanists were to march, we would all be arrested. When Avigdor Liebermann called for the death of all traitors to Israel, everyone from left to right came down on him like a sledge hammer, and when Rav Meir Kahane zt''l inserted a verse from the Bible into his swearing-in ceremony at Knesset, he was reprimanded! Allowing our enemies full freedom to call and act on our destruction, MISTAKE FOUR!
Israel is encouraging its own destruction and refuses to consider the only possible solution to all of its problems :Torah. Remove the Arabs, the Churches and Mosques, and the missionaries, execute traitors and reward patriots, inculcate a strong Jewish identity and love of Torah, and Torah observance, in the people, put Judaism in the public, make Judaism something to be proud of in Israel again, and not only will we have worldly success and security, but HASHEM's countenance will shine down upon us, and we will see the Redemption, speedily and in our days!

Why are they after us?

Almost since the birth of the Jewish People, the nations have had an unnatural obsession with this small, seemingly insignificant people. The question that begs to be answered is 'Why?' Of all of the tiny, dispersed and alien populations, the world has only set its sights on us. Even back in our own Land, with a rebuilt and prosperous Jewish State, the world still hounds us and no one else. Attributing this constant and consistent focus on the Jewish People to antisemitism is a gross misnomer, for even those who claim to love us, such as the Baha'is and the Christian Right would like us to melt away from being a distinct culture and religion.
Every culture we have interacted with, from the Egyptians and Canaanites, to the Christians and Muslims have tried to get rid of us, sometimes by the sword and sometimes by converting us. Our presence and our Torah were, and still are, such a threat to the greatest Empires, such as Babylon, Persia, Rome and Greece have outlawed our religious observance and tried to root it out through the sword and forced assimilation. And when both failed to remove us and our Torah, they resorted to the next best thing: demonization. For those of you who think that antisemitic libels started with Christian Europe, you are mistaken. The Egyptians(under Roman occupation), Greeks and Romans all had antisemitic libels against the Jews. But the great Empires never enacted similar actions against any other conquered peoples or their religions, they never banned their worship and put their holy books on trial as they did with the Talmud. Even Christianity originally declared the pagan religions as 'innocence', while from the outset Judaism was outdated, and the Jews were forsaken and hated by their 'god'. The Muslims pressured both Christian and Jew, but they added more restrictions and humiliations upon the Jews, they massacred Jews and took their children in Algeria and Yemen respectively. Recently, when the Pope, as they saw it, insulted Muhammad they rioted and went a little crazy for about a week. No one was killed. When we reclaimed our Land, offering protection and respect to Islam in our country, we have had nothing but constant terror, war and bloodshed against us, they have destroyed and desecrated many of our holy sites and had as banned from the Temple Mount. The Greeks and the Romans not only allowed their conquered subjects to continue worshipping their gods, but they adopted them as their own! Yet when it came to HASHEM and His Torah, they were made illegal, Sabbath observance was banned and the Greeks took our Temple and slaughtered pigs inside it to intentionally desecrate it, and the Roman Vespasian had sex with a prostitute inside the Holy of Holies on top of a Torah scroll before having the Temple destroyed. Hitler, arguably the most powerful man to have ever walked the earth since the Roman emperors, was so threatened by us that even our absolute assimilation and renunciation of Judaism was not enough, and the only solution was the Final Solution.
Now, the simpleton or the Jew-hater can accept the libels against Jews as truth, and our evil, destructive, greedy, sneaky, backstabbing, sabotaging natures, or that of our 'religion', as the reason why we have been chased out from every country, including our own, and why every religion has a Special Clause on converting Jews, to save us from our evil selves or our evil outdated Torah. But we Jews have always been thinkers, we have always been people who do not accept things at face value. The fact of the matter is our very existence is a threat, and our adherence to the Torah is a destructive force, and the nations know this, especially the so-called Abrahamic 'daughter' religions of Judaism: Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i Cult.
Christianity preaches "to the Jew first", Islam demonizes us and our religion and recently has started to adopt the Christian stance to Jews: convert and don't kill, and the Baha'is parade around, uniquely, the 'first Jewish believer', with no mention of the first Christian or Muslim believer in their absurd cult. Again, why the focus on us? In fact, a pamphlet on converting Jews from the website www.JewsforAllah.com (Incidentally there is no ExChristiansforAllah or ExHindusforAllah) spells out exactly why conversion of the Jews is necessary: We are a spigot in the neck of Islam in it's attempt to spread throughout the ME and the world. Who would have thought that 14 Million people would be any challenge to one of the world's largest and most powerful religions! The fact of the matter is, if one looks at history, the Jewish convert is always worth a million Gentile converts. These Abrahamic faiths especially ,who view themselves as having replaced us, treasure the Jewish convert beyond reason and consider each and every one a personal victory over Judaism. This demands an explanation. Why did the Catholic Church devote its energy and manpower to rooting out and destroying Judaism and why does Evangelical Christianity, our supposed ally, spend BILLIONS of dollars on campaigns to convert Jews and to create evil movements under the umbrella of Messianic 'Judaism'(nothing more than Christianity translated into Hebrew) to make their religion seem more acceptable to us? Why did the Muslims aid Hitler in trying to wipe us out, and why have they virtually bankrupted their countries and sacrificed thousands of their people in the last 60 years to destroy the Jewish State? It can't be because we have 'conquered holy Muslim land', for India was once under Muslim control, Iraq, once the seat and beacon of Islamic learning and knowledge, is now under American control and Afghanistan was under Soviet and now American control. Other than random terrorist attacks in India over Kashmir, not to liberate it from the heretical Hindus or to eradicate them, a terrorist campaign against Soviet and American soldiers in Afghanistan, and an upsurge against the Americans in Iraq to 'liberate' these countries and not to wipe out Americans or Russians, not ONE Muslim soldier or tank from any of the countries that rushed full force against Israel has been mobilized to free the 'holy Muslim land' and to 'eradicate the occupiers'. Islam's hadith contains no end-time scenario of Christians being wiped out completely from the face of the earth by Muslims as it does for the Jews. The Baha'i Cult has its World Center in Israel, even though they consider us and our religion as equal to the Muslims, yet they don't have a single Temple of the size of the one in Haifa in their countries. Again we see the focus on the Jews, and this GARBAGE about them adhering to the seldom enforced law forbidding preaching to/converting Jews in Israel is just that :Garbage. The Baha'is one day aim to establish a one world government with them at the head of it, and their World Centre just happens to be in Israel?
Besides being absolutely obsessed with us these three international cults have other things in common: Absolute rejection of the Talmud with acceptance, to some degree, of the Torah with full acceptance that it is the word of G-D, the usurpation of the Davidic Throne, the replacement of Israel as the Chosen People, and the rejection of Jerusalem as the Seat of G-D's Holy Presence, and adopting a foreign deity claiming that he is the G-D of Israel(Lihavdil!). This means they have delegitimized the four pillars of Judaism: G-D (by replacing Him with the idols Jesus and Allah), Torah, both Oral and Written, (either by saying that a new covenant has superseded it, that it has been changed and the new revelation corrects the errors, or that the 'ritual law' has been rejected while the 'moral law' remains in force, and by absolute rejection across the board of the Oral Law), Chosenness (by saying they are G-D’s new people and taking the claim of David’s Throne), and Israel (by replacing Jerusalem).
Personally, I view the acceptance of the Written and rejection of the Oral Law the most important point. A Written Law is unmovable, it is set and open to a plethora of interpretations, that is why HASHEM gave us the Oral Torah, which is an ongoing discussion where all of the arguments are presented and the incorrect ones rejected, but they are known. The Talmud has been called by many the central pillar of Judaism. Notice, all of the heretical sects, from the Sadducees, Boethusians, and the Karaites to the Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Liberal and Secular humanist, all reject the Talmud, and aside from the first two who are already extinct, the others are slowly but surely fading away. Why is it that rejection of the Talmud is necessary? Because within the bounds of the Talmud, all other religions besides Torah-True Judaism would not be able to survive. Acceptance of the Talmud would have destroyed Islam, Christianity and the Baha’i Cult, and it is this Holy Writing alone that is most dangerous to them. Notice how in Christian Europe it was put on trial, out of all of the Jewish holy books, neither the Midrash nor the newly concocted Kaballah was put on trial, censored and made illegal. Islam views the Talmud as unnecessary and burdensome rules that the Jews placed upon themselves, and which Jesus came to alleviate. Ironic, since a lot in the Qur’an, Hadith and Islamic dogma is stolen from the Talmud. I’m not sure on the Baha’i stance on the Talmud itself, but they view that the ‘Ritual Law’ has been replaced, and since the Talmud details ritual and proper observance, well, you figure that out. One thing I’d like to digress on here is the ridiculousness of the belief in a Moral vs. a Ritual Law. The Sabbath for instance is considered a Ritual Law, yet G-D called it ETERNAL, ‘and this is an eternal sign between me and the Children of Israel for all of their generations’. What about, ‘you shall not add or subtract from this Torah that I have given you’, or the commandment to observe ALL of the Torah?! Nowhere in the Torah does it make a difference between so-called Ritual and Moral. In fact, it is the violation of many ‘ritual laws’ that incurs a death penalty or karet, while most ‘moral laws’ do not! Also, it seems that G-D tells us that observance of the ‘ritual laws’ is what brings morality, for instance after the laws of Kashrut. Anyways, the point is they must reject and take away the sanctity of the Talmud for them to even exist (an irony here is that Christianity preaches strict reliance on Scripture yet has developed an Oral Tradition of its own, in specific instances concerning ’Mary’s’ genealogy in Luke and Mary Magdalene being a prostitute, which do not appear in the NT).
The replacement of G-D or attempting to change His Nature is not so serious, but reflects the pagan origins of all three religions. Whether the concept of a dead man-god Triune or the pagan moon deity of the Kaaba, Hubal, renamed “Al-Lah”, the G-D, which is also adopted as the name of the Baha’i ‘god’, they reflect the inability of the founders of these religions to separate themselves from paganism and idol worship(If you will say that Jesus wasn’t a pagan, so he couldn’t have had these ideas, well, the NT wasn’t written by Jesus or even by Jews and not even in his lifetime, and he preached idolatry which idolaters accepted).
The Messiah has always been considered a redeemer(not a SAVIOR!) of the world, in that he will return the world to worship of G-D and G-D alone. Obviously a very important figure. And if an important figure in my religion lead the world back to G-D, surely my religion must be the One True Religion, no? This is the line of logic that all three Abrahamic bastard child religions of Judaism follow. The problem is that no one has ever fulfilled THAT messianic prophecy. Hell, we Jews would know since the concept of the Messiah is a JEWISH one, so naturally we would hold what is truth and what isn’t as to the Messiah. Can you teach Einstein about the atom, or understand a Ford car manual for the Model-T better than Henry Ford, who wrote the damned thing? Can you tell an author what he meant when he wrote something? Obviously not. So what’s the next best thing you can do? Lie. And that is exactly what the nations have done. They claim the Jews have been blinded, a veil has been put over their eyes, they have falsified interpretations, or that revelations are progressive and the newer generations are considered smarter and thus G-D gives them more understanding. WHAT HORSESHIT! Especially the latter, which is an exact opposite of the Jewish belief that the farther from Sinai, the less understanding we have. Baha’u’llah had more understanding than Moses? Really?! He ascended to a mountain where G-D has descended to meet him, and he spoke with Him as one speaks with his fellow? The fact of the matter is, all of these latter arguments are easily refuted by a proper reading of the Tanach with no idolatry adultering one’s thoughts, and shown to be put for by weak apologetics for weak-minded ignoramuses. Anyways, to have the Messiah be ‘theirs’, Israel has to be rejected. If Israel weren’t rejected, then G-D would have at least two absolute true religions, and thus our arguments are still 100% valid and thus would trump theirs. They have to replace us in every way. And even the Christians who claim that they believe we are still G-D’s Chosen People in fact view us as rejected and eternally damned. For all of you blind Jews, Christians want us to return to Israel so that the anti-Christ can come, slaughter a large amount of us, then Jesus comes and kills him, then kills off the remainder of the Jews who didn’t believe in him (i.e. Jesus), and those Jews, along with every Jew who did not accept Jesus, burns in hell for eternity. If we weren’t rejected, cursed, and damned how are we going to go to Hell? THINK!
Jerusalem is replaced as a symbol of G-D’s rejection of the Jews. Christians only view Israel as ‘holy’ because Jesus walked there and it is the ‘land of the bible’(Ironically, the Torah was given in Sinai and records events in Iraq and Egypt, half of Ezekiel was given on the way to Babylon, the books of Daniel and Esther occurred in Modern day Iraq and Iran, yet there are no Xian pilgrimages there. Only where Jesus walked and where Jews can be found to be converted. In fact, as is attested by many modern day evangelicals, America is the promised land. I didn’t say it, Pat Robertson did). Muslims put two cities ahead of Jerusalem, Mecca and Medina, the first because Allah is an inconsistent fool and can’t figure out which city he wants to be called his and the latter because Mohammad walked there. The true reason why Mecca was chosen was because 1) the Jews told Mohammad to piss off so he rejected their ‘Qiblah‘ and conveniently a stone statue name allah revealed to him that allah chooses and rejects whatever he wants and this way it would be more convenient for Mohammad, 2) it was his home town, 3) it was a major trading hub and a pre-existant pagan Arab holy site to many even outside of the Quraysh tribe. Jerusalem didn’t even register on the map to the Muslims until 693, and only because of a feud between the Sharif of Mecca and Abd-Al Malik, whereupon it was interpreted that the Isra’ and Mi’raj, i.e. the Night Journey, actually brought Mohammad to Jerusalem on the back of a flying horse/woman named Al-Burak. In subsequent centuries, though, Jerusalem’s insignificant status to the Muslims became more apparent as it turned into a backwards trash-heap(that Golden Dome is very recent). Jerusalem only became such a focal point to Islam when the Jews liberated it. It only has any holiness because Mohammad walked there. The Baha’is have apparently replaced it with Haifa, the Carmel and Acco because Baha’u’llah said so and he was imprisoned in Acco. CULT!!!!
As we can clearly see, these three religions have been built around rejection and refutation of Judaism. But our existence is a very real threat to these people. Always the one who holds the truth in a sea of lies is considered a threat. So they try to silence us in any way possible, and now we even aid them. A Jew with a knowledge of Torah is the biggest danger to these cults. We Jews make up less than one percent of the world, while the Christians, 1.5 BILLION, and the Muslims, 1.3 BILLION together make 2.8 Billion, almost half of the entire world, almost 25% each. Yet they are obsessed and unnaturally focused on this tiny speck, this insignificant 14 Million Jews, this less than 1% of the world which has risen to the heights of the world, outlived the greatest empires, succeeded wherever they set foot and finally returned to their homeland, all in accordance with and in affirmation of the Holy Torah. If we were a threat to their foundations when we were dispersed and degraded, as their holy books said we always would be, how much more so when we defied the words of their gods and returned to our homeland? Is it a wonder why almost a billion Hindus, almost half a billion Buddhists and every other religion receive virtually no attention or vilification from either Christian or Muslim? They don’t spend 1/4th the amount of energy or money on these other groups who make up over a billion people as they do on the Jews, whether to convert or destroy them. The fact of the matter is, the Jews, as the original people of the Torah and the prophets, can either make or break a religion. Wholesale Jewish conversion to any religion is the ultimate stamp of approval of authenticity of that religion. But since Jews have been(overall) so stubbornly adherent to the Torah for the past 2000 years, this has been virtually impossible. So the next best thing is to get rid of us completely, but that also has proved impossible. The Nations attribute it to G-D knows what. We Torah-True Jews attribute it to the promise G-D made us, that even if we are in the lands of our enemies, He will not forsake us to allow us to be destroyed. So they take a lesson from the Greeks and the Romans: the way to get rid of Jews isn’t to overtly try to convert them, or to attempt to eradicate them, but to assimilate them, to destroy them culturally and cut all of their ties to the Torah, and then they will come on their own, begging to join the dominant culture. And a superficial look at the general Jewish population reveals a very dominant desire to join the majority Jewish culture and fully assimilate, because we have forsaken Torah study and Torah knowledge. I was once told by my classmate, a Jehovah’s Witness, during one of our discussions, that he didn’t preach to me or ‘Orthodox Jews’ because it’s impossible to convert a Torah-observant Jew. The Ramban is another perfect example of a dangerous Jew, in his debate with Grand Inquisitor Torquemada before the king of Spain. Nowadays, conversion of Jews has become much easier due to assimilation and ignorance of the Torah, even among many kippah-wearing Jews. All of the nations’ pressure on us is to weaken our link to Torah, bit by bit, to eventually sever it. They have learned their lesson and now know this is our Achilles’ heel, for as Rav Saadia Gaon said, Israel is only a nation by virtue of the Torah. Without that, we are nothing but prey for one false ideology after another.
So as we can see, the new tactic to convert us is separating us from the Torah. The absolute need and focus of the Nations to do so is to feel secure, it is because our very existence and propagation of the Eternal Truth of the Torah, Written and Oral, exposes them for the falsehoods that they are, but their faith and belief clouds their reason. They won’t admit, even to themselves, that we have the truth, even though HASHEM and His Torah has shown Themselves to be the Absolute and Eternal Truth time and again.
