I Stand with Israel

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

I stand with Israel.

There are no words to describe the evil occurring in Israel right now. The raping, mutilating and kidnapping of Israeli women, children and elderly by Hamas. It is gut wrenching to see what our Israeli brothers and sisters are enduring right now.

But to be honest, my voice has no authority to speak to the atrocities and devastation. So I will share someone who does:

I’m sharing Ben Shapiro’s episode today for you to watch. For those who don’t know, he is a devout Jew, and was just in Israel on Friday: missing the attacks by only 12 hours.

And his words for and about his people are powerful. And I highly suggest you watch this graphic episode. And yes: watch. Because we need to see the violence, and not hide from the gruesome reality of it. We need to look it in the face so as to be moved to stand up to it. **I cannot embed the video because it has graphic, age-restricted footage from Israel in it, and WordPress does not allow that type of content, but here is the link: https://youtu.be/U-b5ZOEcLOM?si=kvIgcIvSNuLEfHgS

Let us pray for our Israeli brothers and sisters who are under attack in the Middle East. Let us pray for peace in the middle east and the protection of all those fighting and standing up against the evil of Hamas. And let us pray for Jews all across the globe who are hurting, fearful and have lost loved ones.

God bless America, and God bless Israel.

  14. Please read the history of this issue before passing judgement.. 70+ years of oppression, inhumane conditions and treatment, indiscriminate violence against civilians without regard to age, torturing children in jails.. and a lot more.. is bound to result in explosion when the world chooses persistently to turn deaf to the continuous cries for help and justice

      1. It would be utterly unrealistic and delusional to expect that someone who steals someone’s house, usurps his resources, tortures and kills that person’s family, would live in absolute peace and comfort. Had this been done to you over the course of tens of years, wouldn’t you have tried to get your rights back? They tried for decades to appeal to international law to stop the atrocities but no one listened, cared or done anything about it. What kind of peace is expected there?!

  20. I’ve not commented but have followed you for years now. Mazal tov on your recent marriage! And thank you for always standing up for what is right, true and important: pro-life, the precious faith, and recovery. May G-d continue to bless you and Steven abundantly – and now for this.
    We live in the Galilee, about 1 1/2 – 2 hours from the madness. We are still numb with shock and have not had a moment to process this. I’ve lost friends. My friends have lost children. I watched as fathers donned uniforms and said goodbye to their young children and very pregnant wives. My husband and I prayed protection over our son who was called up to reserves at an undisclosed front line. (You can follow my daily updates at israeldreams.com). It’s worse than horrific here as we are told to prepare to stay in our safe rooms possibly without power for 72+ hours. Yet we remain strong and United with firm and unwavering faith in G-d.
    And I can’t thank you enough for speaking up for us now. I’ve You go, Girl!!! Love and prayers to you from the Holy Land

  25. It is important to pray for our enemies as well per the instruction of our Lord. This is not easy, and it does not mean we just lay back and let those enemies destroy us, but we must tread carefully with vengeance. This is Father’s domain.
    I pray earnestly with tears for Israel’s victims of the terrorists, but also FOR the terrorists. How better to stop their terror than for the Holy Spirit to open their blinded eyes and see that they are conversing with the devil!?

    1. The ‘enemy’ have suffered greatly from a US/Israel policy of denying them self-determination and a state, even though the world agrees that this is fair. Instead, the US/Israel have militarily occupied Palestinian land, regularly killed and imprisoned civilians and conducted a 16 year siege in Gaza.

      It is these ongoing human rights abuses that create the fertile ground for extreme responses, as some (not all) resort to violence as a way out of the predicament. Meanwhile, the US/Israel, in a way, welcome this extremism and resort to violence, knowing that they have the clear upper hand in weaponry and the capacity to wreak devastation.

  27. I totally abhor the violence perpetrated by Hamas but also the attacks on civilians in Gaza. The whole thing is messed up. Unless there’s a miracle, the actions of Hamas have set back any hopes for a just peace for many years.
    The Islamist aspect complicates things, but I am trying to see things from the point of view of ordinary Palestinians and Israelis who have been living with a situation of injustice brought about by the actions of the Zionist state of Israel. It’s all connected with how things have been since 1917, when The UK government and others decided (why on earth they had the right to, I don’t know) to carve up that part of the Middle East and reconstitute part of Palestine as a homeland solely for the Jewish people. (The Balfour Declaration).
    Ever since then, the rights and freedoms of the Palestinian people (whose homeland it had been prior to 1948) have been eroded. Much of the Christian world have blindly supported the State of Israel, and not understood the full picture, where for example Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza have very limited access to water, electricity, and other essentials, and have resticted freedom of movement which affects education, work and health care.
    The Palestinians living in the occupied territories and in Israel itself are not equal citizens with Israelis. Until Israel makes a just and lasting peace with the Palestinian people this conflict will continue.
    If you’re not sure about the truth of this, there is a small minority of Christian Palestinians who know the reality of how things are. Many of them are working for a just peace with a number of Christian organisations supporting the struggle for equality.
    For example, see the website of Bethlehem Bible College https://bethbc.edu/
    also Amos Trust https://www.amostrust.org/
    and Kairos Palestine https://www.kairospalestine.ps/

    Maybe there are some Christian people in the US as we have here in the UK who are surprised that there are Christian Palestinians. They need us to understand how life is for them, and give them the support they need. Grace and Peace. <

    1. I have personal experience of Palestinians and Palestinian Christian s. Nonetheless I remember the bible tells us we should bless Abraham’s descendants. Most causes have used violence at one point or another. This has almost always tended to make matters worse for ordinary people.

      Israel is in a fight for its very survival right now. Israel managed to make the desert bloom. They are continually treated as a pariah state.
      Hamas appear to have done nothing to improve the lives of ordinary Palestinians.

    1. My friend reminded.me of Israel’s tiny size. I swear they could have 6 inches of land and some would still complain. I am assuming you are American. What would you have felt like if America had been told all about Afghanistan’s issues following 9/11. America enjoyed the total support of nearly the entire world following 9/11. Israel has suffered an equivalent loss. They need our support right now.

  34. What defines the goal of the current war in Gaza?

    The over 200 kidnapped captives a clear priority. However Israel fights a regime change war. The total unconditional surrender of Hamas defines the Will of the People of Israel to achieve justice for the slaughter of some 1400 Israelis on October 7th. Just that simple.

  40. Sharing how my son-in-law and myself learn Talmud together. As opposed to other family members who learn by an entirely different sh’itta\methodology of learning. Persons not fluent in Hebrew can copy/paste Hebrew words to Google Translate.

    The location of our בנין אב\precedent found in other Gemaras, to this point, no בנין אב — ever located at the conclusion of the sugia/sub-chapter as this Case located within בבא בתרא. Am interested to see how you “connect the dots” to form your sh’itta straight line interpretation whereby you employ it to make the critical משנה תורה/{common law} reinterpretation of the language of the Mishna. Remember your failure to observe the language of the Mishna in מנחות parallel vessels of the Mishkan contrasted by perpendicular position of the Ark of the covenant vis-a-vis to the other vessels of the Mishkan? Interpreting, based upon a sh’itta (A logical methodology. Logic based upon Order) of a Gemara sugya(sug-chapter) בנין אב(precedent), means making a משנה תורה{common law} interpretive learning of the Mishna common law legal system.

    Statute law has no such learning discipline, which requires interpreting a halachic ruling learned in context by contrasting that halachic opinion to fit it within the language of a far greater Mishnaic authority. For this reason alone statute law halacha, as in, for example, the codification of the Shulchan Aruch — just flat out wrong. No exceptions to this rule. Rav Nemuraskii, my Rav, did not take, the above opinion, to this extreme. Statute law halacha – exceptionally easy to learn. Rav Nemuraskii instructed baali t’shuva students who had no Torah background whatsoever at all. But you and I, we both have learned the Sha’s Bavli, do not qualify as snotty nose assimilated kids, who never learned Talmud in their entire lives.

    But Rav Nemuraskii did encourage me, when I first came to him as a University educated left wing Socialist, to study these statute law codes … with a stern warning! To learn these statute halachic codes within the context of its sugya of Gemara, and then use that knowledge of that Gemara sugya to relearn the language of the Mishna of that Gemarah. [[The Universal chief flaw of the Rambam statute halachic code, his failure to bring Gemara sources for all his halachic rulings. The Tur and Shulkan Aruch duplicated this Universal error. Statute halachic codes כאילו equate Gemara halacha as equal to and on par with Mishnaic sources. This logical error which attempts to “equivocate”(כאילו) the authority of the Gemara equal to that of the Mishna, alas a very common logical falacy.]]

    This latter learning step, all the Reshonim commentaries ever written on the Talmud failed to learn the Gemara as a precedent to re-interpret the k’vanna of the language of its Mishna. But no commentary can replace the Primary source which the commentary explains. The Gemara has a commentary relationship to the Mishna. The scholarship of the Reshonim fundamentally erred in their failure to discern between Primary and Secondary sources of scholarship. The same error likewise ocurred in how the Reshonim (950CE to 1400CE) learned the T’NaCH, which tended to restrict scholarship to a טיפש פשט rather than learn the T’NaCH as mussar משנה תורה {Common mussar Law}.

    The fundamental distinction which fundamentally separates Aggadita from Halacha in the Talmud: the former addresses mussar common law precedents whereas the latter compares Halachic precedents to similar {parallel} Halachic precedents.

    Rav Nemuraskii opposed learning the Mishna based solely upon the טיפש פשט\Bird-brained, simple reading of the language of the Mishna. He drilled this contempt for טיפש פשט learning into my consciousness! The sh’itta Geh-Geh (a family member) learns, he became a Rav based upon the Shulchan Aruch. The way he perceives the Talmud, compares to the way that Xtians view the “Old Testament”!

    Xtian replacement theology has subsumed the T’NaCH. Making the T’NaCH as a secondary source vis a vis their new testament forgery, a document on par with, in my estimation, to the Czarist secret police, late 19th Century forgery known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. My contention, that the Gospels exists as — a Roman forgery. The statute halachic codes: the Yad Chazaka, Tur, & Shulkan Aruch they have effectively replaced Talmudic common law scholarship, just as the noise new testament has replaced, in order of priority and importance, their Old Testament.

    JeZeus did not know how to make the required הבדלה {distinction} that separates and distinguishes איסר מלאכה מן איסר עבודה {skilled labor from unskilled labor}. JeZeus never kept the זמן גרמא מצוה שבת. This type of Torah commandment stands upon the יסוד יראת שמים{foundation of mastery of a Good Name}.

    JeZeus did not know that the Torah defines אמונה{faith} as צדק צדק תרדוף{the pursuit of justice}. [[That common law judicial sanhedrin courtrooms which serve to fairly make restitution of damages inflicted by a Jew upon another Jew defines the Torah concept of justice.]] Muhammad too/likewise did not know how the Hebrew T’NaCH defines faith. Both this and that avoda zarah therefore focused upon faith as a personal belief system in this or that God. The Torah defines the prioritization of a personal belief in Gods, as the Av tuma avoda zarah which shatters the Torah revelation, learned when Moshe shattered the two tablets at Sinai. Herein defines the k’vaana/{intent} of the revelation of the 2nd Sinai commandment.

  42. We must never substitute a doctrine of Black supremacy for white supremacy. For the doctrine of Black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy.
