This week at synagogue, one of the Torah portions we read was B'Midbar. It tells the story of the prophet of the decay of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Hosea. The breakaway state began with a strong king and then deteriorated into a series of inept and incompetent "judge" leaders.
Hosea was married to a faithless wife, Gomer. While she turned him into a laughing stock cuckold, he refused to stop loving her. He later realized that she served a divine purpose; her betrayals coincided with the moral downfall of Israel. He named the third of their children, Lo Ammi, or Not Of My People. Seeing the end of Israel, my synagogue's own interpretation of the Torah, concluded that Hosea's message was, "Israel was no longer the people of God's covenant." The end of the state came not long after.
The previous week I had unknowingly written Hosea's message for a Christian magazine, The Hope Of Israel. write yacob@bellsouth.net. It's hardly modern scripture, but you be the judge:
IS THIS GOD'S ISRAEL?
by Barry Chamish
In the summer of '82, I fought in the Lebanon War for the Israel Defense Forces. I was shot at a few times, survived some artillery barrages but came home in one piece. To celebrate
survival, I joined my very lovely friend, Michelle Benishu, for beers at a Jerusalem pub. Her family's experience of the war dampened my selfish joy. Her brother was a member of a religious armored brigade ordered by Ehud Barak into a Syrian ambush above Lake Karoun, ten miles from my position, in a wadi called Sultan Yakob. Before the brigade could be extricated, 23 soldiers had died and twice as many had been wounded. Her brother fell into the latter category, suffering severe shell shock. If that sounds minor, don't tell him that. He was hospitalized for weeks until he recovered enough to go home. Seeing two dozen killed will do that to you.
I asked Michelle, "So being religious has nothing to do with survival in war?"
Without hesitation she answered, "Not a thing."
It was only 15 years later that I discovered in Israel, being religious does have much to do with survival. It decreases the odds. I learned the real facts of the Sultan Yakob massacre as told by her brother's brigade commander Avigdor Ben Gal to the newspaper Kol Ha'ir. He set out on a jeep tour when two lower officers, took over the brigade command radio against all orders. Both would become leaders of the Labor Party; Amram Mitzna and Ehud Barak.
This was not a Labor Party war; it was initiated by the newly powerful Menachem Begin and his Likud Party. If the war went well, Labor wouldn't see power again for the foreseeable future. So Barak and Mitzna were ordered to sabotage it by killing Jews. But not Labor secular Jews. Only the religious would serve their purposes. So with the maps in front of them, they deliberately sent a religious brigade to its doom.
Also in on the dirty political game was Gen. Ariel Sharon. Eight years before, he created a secular left party called Shlomzion. After leaving the Yom Kippur War as the only hero, he was invited to New York for a meeting with Henry Kissinger. It was then, in Jan. '74, than Sharon was strongly urged to unite his party with Menachem Begin's Herut to form what became the Likud. After the debacle of the Yom Kippur War, it was understood that Labor's days were numbered. Sharon's goal would be to nullify the effect by destroying the Herut from within.
In September of '82, he had his chance. As Begin's Defence Minister, he ordered his supposed Christian allies, to attack the Palestinian population centers of Sabra and Shatilla on their own. Without the IDF to mollify them, the Christians massacred some 800 people. The attack began on a Friday, reports of the slaughter were publicized on Saturday and Sharon did not order the Christian troops out until Monday.
By then, Begin was all but finished as a leader of Israel. And the connivers against the Jewish and Christian troops, Barak, Mitzna and Sharon would all run for the job of the Prime Minister of Israel and Sharon and Barak would get the post. Pushing murder was its own reward.
The results of Israel's last elections showed that the vast majority voted for a Right-Religious government. The Labor Party led by Barak received all of 8% of the popular vote. However, with a clear majority at his disposal, PM Netanyahu turned away the religious parties and invited Barak and Labor into his government. The same thing happened when Sharon was elected Prime Minister. He snubbed the religious parties and made the hugely corrupt Shimon Peres his Foreign Minister.
The religious have no genuine say about Israeli politics. Nor were they ever supposed to.
THE CREATION OF ISRAEL - IN SHORT
In 1932, there were three branches of Zionism; Labor, Herut and the Orthodox. In the same year, over 250 organizations represented the Jews of Germany. That same year, Labor presented a deal to the Nazis that by 1934, would see the Herut and Orthodox removed from the Zionist shadow government of Israel, and reduce the number of organizations representing German Jews to one: Labor Zionism.
The deal became The Transfer Agreement. The Labor Zionists promised the Nazis to end worldwide sanctions and boycotts against their regime, in return for making life impossible for German Jews, forcing them to emigrate to Palestine. Herut got wind of the atrociously immoral agreement and fought it tooth and nail. To nip revolt in the bud, the Labor negotiator of the agreement, Chaim Arlozorov was murdered in Tel Aviv, and Herut was blamed for long enough to provide an excuse to remove them from power.
The leader of Labor Zionism, Chaim Weizmann, addressed the Herut and religious-less 1936 World Zionist Congress with the following dreadful pronouncement: "Perhaps only 2 million Jews will survive the upcoming Holocaust, (yes, he used that word) but they will be strong and good for the Land of Israel. The rest will be blown into the dustpile of history."
But the Nazi collaborator was wrong. Barely 100,000 Jews survived where the Nazis occupied and, they were the majority of the world's religious Jews. No attempt to save them was made and there is much evidence, as in the case of the Hungarian Jews, that they were purposely sent to their murders by the future leaders of Israel.
(Read my books, or the classic tragedy, Perfidy by Ben Hecht, for more details).
With so few secular Jews to populate Israel after its creation, the Sephardim of Asia and North Africa, the vast majority of whom were religious, were manipulated by created hatred to move to the new state. Their arrival was no cause for their celebration. In an act so horrid that it defies every precept of the 3000 year old Jewish holy works, the Labor governments of the1950s, led by Atomic Energy Commissioner Shimon Peres, had every single Sephardic infant and toddler, some 113,000, subjected to massive blasts of gamma rays through their brains. Some 4,500, mostly Yemenite infants, were kidnapped and sent to the US to die in God-awful, atomic experiments.

TODAY
Religious Jews are as under attack as ever. The issue now is Jerusalem or the historic biblical homes of the Jews claimed, with the backing of the world, by a historical non-entity called The Palestinians. Unfortunately for them, they are now as caught up in the war against the Jewish religion as the religious Jews themselves. The sad part is, they don't get it. Even sadder, that today's religious Jews equally, haven't caught on that their worst enemy is and always was, secular Labor Zionism.

Did you hear about the new chain restaurant serving Louisiana seafood; Black Lobster? You might have if you joined my paid newsgroup. We've been following the disaster from the first day. We learned that it was no "accident" but was a crime served to the world by BP with a side of gumbo:
When drilling resumed, oilman Mike Williams says there was an accident on the rig that has not been reported before. He says, four weeks before the explosion, the rig’s most vital piece of safety equipment was damaged. Down near the seabed is the blowout preventer, or bop. It’s used to seal the well shut, in order to test the pressure and integrity of the well, and, in case of a blowout, it’s the crew’s only hope. A key component is a rubber gasket at the top called an annular which can close tightly around the drill pipe. Williams says, during a test, they closed the gasket. But while it was shut tight, a crewman on deck accidentally nudged a joystick, applying hundreds of thousands of pounds of force, and moving 15 feet of drill pipe through the closed blowout preventer. (A month later) the BOP that was supposed to protect us and keep us from the blowout obviously had failed.

I want my so called accident investigated in Israel. If you are an Israeli lawyer or know one, read this and write me back:
On the evening of Yom Atzmuat, 2006, I was invited to a party off an obscure road outside of Modiin. At about 1:30 AM, I left the road and was hit by a car so seriously that I was dead and revived on the hospital table three times.
I stayed in Sheba Hospital for ten days where my treatment was scary to the point that I asked my attorney Dov Even Or to get me released, but more important, to handle the police and insurance sides of my case.
Within a day or two, he informed me that the police would not tell him basic information like who hit me. He had never encountered such an illegal handling of an accident before. Once released, I phoned my insurance agent, Yardena, of Hamburger, Levy Insurance (Jerusalem). She said the Police would not give her any report, nor would they even inform her who had hit my car. Confused by it all, she told me she suspected a police coverup was taking place.
Even Or suggested that I make my police statement to him and he added that I should take a holiday abroad while he handled the police investigation. That was four years ago.
Two months ago, I asked my friend Baruch to pick up my file from Even Or. He sent me the police report and it was shocking. The police concluded that I had hit the vehicle and caused the accident. It was the polar opposite of the truth.
Now I'll be frank. Israel terrifies me and I believe I was set up to shut down my political writing. But I am owed serious money for this "accident," and I want my insurance company to pay:
14,000 NIS for the car
100,000 NIS for a separated shoulder which would cost $25,000 to repair in America.
100,000 NIS for head injuries which have caused constant dizziness and fainting for four years now.
You will find I have been the victim of other instances of injustice. If you take the case, you may ask for whatever contingency you desire.
That is my short summary. There will be more to say if you accept my proposal.
