Once again Shimon Peres said yes and no: Mr. President said that one should not rely on history (in a speech about the destruction of Gush Katif) and that one must rely on history (in a speech on International Holocaust Day) * And, the media language there is no "extreme left", just "left" (on the other hand, the right is always "extreme", not just right)? About this and more – get your answer

* A few days ago President Shimon Peres, delivered a moving speech on the occasion of International Holocaust Day. Peres clung to the tortured history of Israel in the last generation. Four years ago, Shimon Peres spoke to high school students, and decried the reliance on history; "learn less history" the sweet grandfatherly Peres taught this lesson to the younger generation... Don′t bother with what happened yesterday, because what you worked on yesterday – is almost not worth anything today." According to Shimon Peres should we heed history or not? This is the question.
* The right to demonstrate is one of the manifestations of democracy. Israeli leftists protest with anarchists from abroad at the fence. They riot, wound, and what not. They are, of course, mere "leftists". There is no such animal as "extreme left". The title "extremists" are entitled only to those Jews whose only wish is to live in Eretz Yisroel, Jews who do not want, somehow, to experience expulsion again in Gush Katif style taken from our recent history. Those "extremists" don′t want to experience expulsion that occurred in our relatively distant history, either, when the Russian Czar Alexander, when wicked men moved crowds of the village Jews from their homes and livelihood of (and there was no lack of ideological excuses). These are the people referred to as "extreme right". Why is it that one faction is called just plain "leftist" and its opposition called "extreme right"? Why do the leftist demonstrations get treated with a display of restraint in the courts, as opposed to the lack of patience and tolerance regarding the rightists? This is the question.
* Advocates of peace are willing to give away half the land of Israel, including the Kosel Maarovi (Western Wall) and the Meoras Hamachpela (Tomb of the Patriarchs). If you still do not know, all this was done simply to be left with a "Jewish majority". So why are they so opposed to the expulsion of goyim from foreign nations who are illegal residents in Israel? Why do they so encourage the aliyah of goyim- men and women- to the country? Why is a MK married to a German Xtian now well received in the Labor party? And how does all this work out with the desire for a Jewish majority? This is the question.

The answer to the above questions (and there are many more contradictory questions) is: "We were slaves" and obviously we remained in an enslaved mental condition…
In the present delusive atmosphere of confusion, given the festival of lies and bluff, apparently some have came to the decisive realization that they must leave the unclear atmosphere and connect to the clear and unambiguous path.
Here′s a title of an item that appeared last weekend on Radio Haifa, and speaks for itself: "Exclusive Scoop: Hundreds of teenagers from prestigious neighborhoods in Haifa, are newly religious. The article reads as follows: A new trend is sweeping up hundreds or even more – of young people fed up with their routine life, and decided to find meaning to their lives through Torah and Judaism. One of the youths said: ′I am not the one who establishes how to live, the Torah states how we are to live". |
