Scolding and the Biblical Law.
by Steven Shamrak.
Real Zionists are often criticized for their strong, uncompromising points of view. Israel is criticized for not doing enough for peace, too. But the same people are able to find any inconceivable justification for the horrendous actions of Jewish enemies. Many critics are Jewish and, in their strange way, they do care about the Jewish state. Regrettably, a well designed and executed propaganda campaign, supported by terror acts does affect people on a deep psychological level. Therefore even decent members of the public, who have been exposed to and brainwashed by anti-Israel propaganda for a long time, are unable to evaluate the reality and the facts behind the news.
Even committed Zionists have
become indifferent and cynical, due to self-destructive policies and inaction
by successive Israel governments. There is an atmosphere of despair among many
staunch Zionists and supporters of the state of Israel. Even they began to use
‘politically correct’ terminology and self-limiting ideas. This creates the
perception of hopelessness and facilitates an inability to follow through the
realisation of the Jewish national goal. I would like to address the most
commonly expressed scoldings:
“We can’t have everything” – We do not want
‘everything’! It is ‘others’ have been ‘acquiring’ all they could for
centuries. And now, they are imposing limitations on Jews, so we wouldn’t even
try to return what is rightfully ours!
“One must be pragmatic and
realistic” –
The reality is perceived illusion. It is created by action. Why should we
accept ‘sh***y’ reality imposed on us by our ‘friends’ and enemies? Only by
setting the ‘Big’ goals can anything great can be achieved!
“What about 3 millions Arabs
living in Israel and territories” – What about them? Most of them came to Palestine
after Zionists started reclaiming Jewish land. The goal of their masters, Arab
and British, was to prevent the creation of the state of Israel. There are 22
Arab countries. It is time for them to return home. The message must be clear:
Their sinister plan has failed!
“They will not allow us…” – Those mysterious ‘They’
again: ‘They’ were silent and did not want Jews to survive the Holocaust,
‘They’ did everything possible to prevent creation of the only Jewish state.
‘They’ have been doing nothing to stop Arab terror against Israel. Must we care
what ‘They’ think? We must do what is right for us. Nobody else will. This is
the only way!
It is written in Torah that if a thief is trying to tunnel into
your house at night, you are allowed to kill him (The reasoning is that your
life is without a doubt endangered). Arabs have continually said that they want
to remove all Jews from Palestine. Only recently, they actually spent 4 months
digging a 730 meter long tunnel and killed 5 Israelis. For two thousand years Jews
let robbery and killings go unpunished. We closed our eyes on too many
‘tunnels’. The time has come to invoke the biblical law!
