The Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem?




In the darkest times of The Cold War (1959) Tom Lehrer's black humour song went:

For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbours too,
There'll be nobody left behind to grieve….

We will all go together when we go,
All suffused with an incandescent glow.

Have you ever wondered why the Palestinians are not Israel's allies when it comes to opposing the nuclear weapons program in Iran? After all, as Tom so memorably sang "We will all go together when we go".
A nuclear holocaust visited upon me and my family, here in Israel, will also get my neighbors, Ahmed and his family, living in a West Bank/Judea village just five minutes drive from my front door.

Iran is solely developing nuclear weapons to bomb Israel with, and this would also be the Final Solution for the Palestinian Problem.

There is no contradication between destroying Israel together with Arab Palestine  - and all the occupants of our region, both Jews and Arabs together "all suffused with an incandescent glow" – with the Iranian + Palestinian objective of "liberating Palestine".

How is this, you may ask – surely the destruction of Palestine is the polar opposite of what the Palestinians and Iranians want? Why else would they have sacrificed so much for the claims to "an independent Palestinian State, living in peace side by side with Israel"?

However, my friend, you and almost the entire world have mistaken the Palestinians' and their supporters' (such as Iran) true objectives.

They have sacrificed a lot, it is true, for their objectives. Palestinians have given their children to two intifadas (over 5000 Palestinian 'martyrs'). But their objective is NOT a peaceful Palestinian State, living side by side in peace with Israel.

Their objective is, and always has been, the destruction of the State of Israel, and the annihalation of the Jews/Israelis. Yes, some Palesatinians have sometimes voiced support for a partial Palestinian State, but only within the context of this being a tactical step towards that final goal.

And if you doubt me, then consider: why do the Palestinians support an Iranian Bomb?

They support it, because an Iranian Bomb, dropped on Israel will achieve their objective. The destruction of Israel and the annihalation of the Six Million Jews/Israelis. And the simultaneous and glorious martyrdom of two million Palestinians. What greater fulfillment could any devout Moslem aspire to – what could be even more glorious than sacrificing just five thousand of their own children - than the sacrifice of two million? If you believe this is far fetched, recall a world just fifty years ago, where two superpowers faced off, armed with thousands of nuclear bombs, apparently each willing to sacrifice the whole planet and all of its inhabitants for their ideals.

We will all go together when we go,
All suffused with an incandescent glow.

Marrying a Soloveitchik

Image
Mazaltov! My nephew, Gedaliah Kestenbaum married Devori Soloveitchik in Jerusalem last week. Gedaliah has married into rabbinical aristocracy .    Devori is the daughter of  Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, and the grand-daughter of Rabbi  Meshulam Dovid (Reb Dovid) Soloveitchik , who is Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Brisk (one of the two) in Jerusalem . The Soloveitchik's are a rabbinical dynasty descended from Rabbi  Yosef Dov (HaLevi) Soloveitchik (The "Beis Halevi") and his son Rabbi  Chaim Soloveitchik ("Reb Chaim Brisker"). Rav Chaim's sons Rabbi  Yitzchak Zev (Reb Velvel) Soloveitchik ("The GRIZ" The Brisker Rov) and Rabbi  Moshe Soloveitchik seem to have gone in different hashkafik directions. Whereas Reb Velvel's descendents are predominantly right wing hareidim, Rav Moshe's branch are leaders in the Modern Orthodox/National Religious hashkafa – most notably Rav Joseph Ber Soloveitchik ("The Rav")

Hoax Letter Sent to Synagogue

Image
            (Beis Tefillah Synagogue, Ramat Beit Shemesh) The following hoax letter has been sent to members of the Beis Tefillah Synagogue board of management, as if it was written by Rabbi CM [ed. name respectfully withheld] who serves as their rabbi: I think that as long as David Morris sets policy for L.A [ed. Lema'an Achai ], and is their public face,  I will not allow L.A. to use the Shul for fundraising purposes. This will change if: 1)David M apologizes publicly for stating,and insinuating again and again(in many forums,but especially in his childish Tzedek Tzedek blog) that , as a group ,  "Rabbis" (of RBSA ) are guilty of aiding and abetting and enabling child molesters.(And that of course that leaves LA to come to the rescue of our children.) OR IF  2)LA  publicly , clearly,and unambiguously disavows such statements .They must say--we clearly,and unambiguously ,disavow  statements or blogs which say or imply that  Rabbis  of RBSA (as a group ) aid or a
