1. Congratulations to a Rabbi with Guts
N B Shalom   (09.07.06)
To be more accurate Yesh din vyesh Dayon - Means there is judgement and there is a Judge(Hashem). But today I believe everyone understands the Folly of the expulsion. Made us weaker and that is how our enemies understand it. Running away from Lebanan and Gush Katif made Hezballah and Hamas stronger causing the disasterous war with Hizballah. There is no one to rely on only on our father in heaven. The shulchan Aruch clearly states we are not allowed to give up one Iota.
2. New Lows
Eileen ,   Ra'anana   (09.07.06)
Whenever we think these people can't reach any lower...they break new records. Their not so veiled threats to political leaders is pathetic, immature and..possibly criminal. What a sorry lot they have become, reaping satisfaction out of the perceived sorrow or misfortune of others....and hiding behind divine intervention as their justification.
3. What a bunch of racist facist lunatics!

4. Judge & Judgment...
Lance ,   NY, USA   (09.07.06)
Judgment IS in fact coming, and maybe sooner than many realize. I just hope and pray that the leadership of Israel realizes, soon, that placating or attempting to do so will not change the enemy's heart. They seek, and is known to the world, the total destruction of Israel, something, thank God Almighty, that will never happen, yet giving up land for a peace that can never be is suicide. Yet I know that God is still in charge of it all. Trust God and leave all the consequences to HIM.
5. Kidnapped soldiers
R. Sturm ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.07.06)
Before lifting the embargo on Lebanon, the PM HAS to get the soldiers back!!! Lifting it now means free passage for the terrorists to deport the soldiers to any Arab country. What did Lebanon/UN/Europe do to get such a price?????
6. Effective
gabriela ben ari   (09.07.06)
See how deeply the anti religious self - hating "jews" are bothered ? If this statement was nonsence as they claim, they wouldn't be over-reacting. Take a look at TBs #2 and #3, were they to believe this is trash, they would either ignore it or laugh at this. But my ! are they so touched that such a string of insults had to follow !
7. UNJUSTLY JAILED JEWISH HEROES - DEFENDERS of the FREE WORLD
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.07.06)
Persecuted Jewish activists fight against criminal Jew deportation and the installation of global Islamic Terror State Two in Judea and Samaria, a terror state that will threaten the world. Jewish patriots, defenders of the free world, fight a lonely, courageous battle against global jihad. How can the battle for the free world be won when terrorists are the preferred favorites for whom Jews are beaten, their bones broken, Jews jailed, their land stolen and given to the preferred favorites: global jihadists bent on the destruction and subjugation of Israel and the free world? israelnationalnews.com Children Challenge the System by Moshe Dann Aug 14, '06 / 20 Av 5766 This month, two 15-year-old girls, Oriah Shirel and Iska Federman, were released from N'vei Tirza, a maximum security prison in Israel, where they had been kept for eight weeks. Their crime: participating in a demonstration in a neighborhood of Hebron, where they live. Oriya was not charged with any violence or attempted violence; Iska was charged with throwing stones, but there is no proof. Oriah and Iska had come to protest the Israeli government's decision to rebuild a wall abutting the Jewish neighborhood of Avraham Avinu and a playground. On the other side of the wall is an Arab home from which Jews have been attacked... ...Since the evacuation of Jews from their communities in Gaza and northern Samaria, hundreds of Jews have been jailed, some for months, for minor misdemeanors, civil disobedience - many without charges or trials. Recently, in anticipation of the government's unilateral withdrawal from Judea and Samaria, scores of "activists", most with families, have been jailed or given orders preventing them from living in the areas to be evacuated. Hebron, specifically, has had a history of alleged police discrimination against Jews for many years... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6464
8. PEACE NOW TRAITORS Highly PAID by EU US CAUSED JEWISH DEATHS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.07.06)
Jewish Spies Against Israel By David Bedein FrontPageMagazine.com | May 21, 2004 ...Documents shared with the Knesset Interior Committee confirmed that the Peace Now organization received a budget in the amount of 50,000 Euros from the government of Finland to conduct intelligence activities in Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, the Golan, Gaza and Jerusalem. ...This included regular bi-monthly ground surveys... Also included was a provision for aerial photography: twice a month a light plane is rented in order to allow “settlement” watch staff to ascertain the extent of ongoing physical expansion in existing “settlements.”... Peace Now defined its objectives to the government of Finland in the following manner: "To monitor settlement developments on the ground, accurately and reliably; to make this information available to the Israeli and international publics; to advance the fulfillment of the Road Map." ... Peace Now is far from being an indigenous Israeli organization, functioning instead as an agent for foreign governments. In fact, it indicated in the Finnish grant request that it also received $100,000 from the Americans and 150,000 Euros from "European Foundations" for its “settlement watch project.” Apart from the matter of funding, the major problem is that Peace Now documents sensitive information that can be used to jeopardize not only Israel’s public, but also its military. The Peace Now settlement expansion maps include military installations and the maps are featured in all PLO offices. Israeli army bases have been attacked and Israeli soldiers killed. These are the sons and daughters of Israel drafted to protect the country against a dangerous and heinous enemy.... For instance, in late May 2002, a settlement watch group organized by the “Christian Peace Makers Team” reported to its e-mail list that it had successfully photographed the fence surrounding the Carmei Tzur settlement. The CPT proudly reported that it had shown several breaches in the fence. The next day, the CSM met with the Fateh (Arafat’s mainstream terror group) in Bethlehem. Two days later, late at night, armed members of the Fateh infiltrated the Carmei Tzur settlement at the precise breach that the CPT had photographed. The Fateh used that breach to murder a civilian couple in their bed. The wife was eight months pregnant... http://www.frontpagemag.com/articles/Printable.asp?ID=13470
9. Olmert RESTRAINED IDF. PREVENTED IDF from WINNING the WAR
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.07.06)
Israel loses Lebanon war WND Jerusalem bureau chief says Olmert restrained IDF 'at every turn' August 14, 2006 By Aaron Klein WorldNetDaily.com ... Israel lost the war in Lebanon on all fronts. This is so largely because Olmert refused to allow the Israeli Defense Forces to do its job. ... the IDF presented Olmert with several battle plans it says could have devastated Hezbollah within an estimated three weeks. The plans, drawn up and improved upon over the course of several years, called for an immediate air campaign against Hezbollah strongholds in south Beirut; aerial bombardment of key sections of the Lebanese-Syria border to ensure the kidnapped soldiers were not transported out of the country and to halt Syrian re-supply of arms to Hezbollah; and the deployment of up to 40,000 ground troops to advance immediately to the Latani River... To the dismay of military officials here, Olmert did not approve the plan... ...the main smuggling routes between Syria and Lebanon, sites very well known to Israeli intelligence, were essentially off limits to the Israeli Air Force... When Hezbollah met Israel's air campaign with massive rocket attacks against northern Israeli communities, the IDF again presented Olmert with a plan for a large ground deployment to the Latani River. The Israeli Prime Minister...approved only a smaller ground offensive of up to 8,000 soldiers who were not allowed to advance to the Latani. ...Olmert limited the IAF to strategic bombings only. The air force was not allowed to clear the way for ground troops to enter... And so the IDF – with a force one fourth the size it asked for – engaged in heated, often face-to-face combat over the course of weeks with a well-trained, well-armed Hezbollah militia that had planned with Iran for up to six years for this battle... ...during Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice's visits here, the IDF was actually asked by the political echelon to halt most operations and troop advances for up to 36 hours while negotiations ran their course... Military leaders now charge that some troop battalions, instructed to hold positions outside villages but not to advance, actually became sitting ducks for Hezbollah anti-tank fire, which killed at least 35 Israeli soldiers... Tens of thousands of troops were put on standby in northern Israel, but were not allowed to enter Lebanon... ...The cabinet, though, left the timing of the new operation to Olmert, who held the advance back until Thursday morning. By Thursday evening, the IDF, which charged ahead from four main fronts, reached the Latani River and even beyond in full force and prepared for an intense battle to overtake the areas used by Hezbollah to fire rockets. The IDF estimated it would need another four to six weeks to successfully wipe out the Hezbollah infrastructure in the areas... But a day later a cease-fire resolution was adapted... Hezbollah remains intact, Israel's enemies emboldened ... Hezbollah has won the war. It put up an incredible fight against IDF forces paralyzed by Israel's leadership. The terror group maintains a good deal of its infrastructure in south Lebanon and still has the ability to fire hundreds of rockets per day into Israel... For Israel, an international force on its borders will impede the ability of the IDF to operate with freedom during any future conflict with Hezbollah... The cease-fire doesn't place an immediate arms embargo on Hezbollah, but only calls for future talks on stopping weapons transfers to the terror group. This leaves Syria and Iran free to rearm and regroup Hezbollah... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51519
10. Sedom & Gamorrah
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.07.06)
The Judge moves faster and faster. His patience has run out ! Those faithless Jews who surrendered to a corrupt nation and it's Road Map for Israel have betrayed God and His land. The hearts of those who flaunt His Law and rebel have become more evil ,brazen and bold and therefore all that is LEFT for them is their swift destruction. Hell's gates are wide open for the newest crop of wicked men and women which infest and polute Israel from the top down.
11. Wolpa is a heretic
Israel Ben Moshe ,   USA   (09.07.06)
To justify another person's suffering, to see something positive and gainful in another's pain, is callous, cruel and plain wrong. Unless you are a prophet (in which case G-d might appear to you and say, "Go to so-and-so and tell him that such-and-such happened, or will happen, because he did this-and-that" In which these days you usually find them in mental asylums), you have no business explaining other people's lives. Or defending G-d's way of running His world (He doesn't need your help).
12. Unfortunately, I feel this will fall on deaf ears.

13. Israeli Leaders DESPICABLE BETRAYAL of KIDNAPPED IDF
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.07.06)
As courageous IDF heroes fight and die for Israel, IDF soldiers are forced to suffer the anguish and demoralization of leaders who refuse to stand behind them. The UN resolution only refers to a return of the kidnapped soldiers in its preamble and not among the document's actual clauses. There is no mention of the kidnapped soldier in the south, Gilad Shalit. For the first time in the history of Israel, Israel's leaders back down in war and treasonously support the UN Resolution which gives victory to Lebanon/Hizbullah/Syria/Iran and threatens Israel's survival. In addition to callously ignoring securing the release of the kidnapped IDF, the U.S. EU UN via the UN resolution were highly successful in preventing the goal vital to Israel's security - eliminating the rocket threat from Lebanon.

Israel Ben Moshe, are you an apologist for evil doers and for evil? If you are, shame on you.

Avraham ,   Netivot   (09.07.06)
Just look what happened to Sharon.
18. #15, Kate
steve ,   USA   (09.07.06)
Kate, I went to the link and the web-site you sent. It says in part: "People, who operate the "Disengagement" are human beings, family men, high positions bearers. They are adults who are thoroughly knowledgeable of the implications of the felony they are committing by carrying out the uprooting and expulsion of their fellowmen...." What do you consider fanatic? The word felony, is a crime such as murder, rape or burglary. Isn't the uprooting and expulsion of our fellow countrymen, women and children from their property an act of burglary?
19. Trials For All Participants
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (09.07.06)
I look at the words of this Rabbi and the SOS group in a very simple context. The people who carried out, who aided and abetted those who did so, (the expulsion of 10,000 ! Jews, and made them refugees in the Jewish homeland) have alot to answer for. Their decisions have directly led to the national security disasters emanating out of Gaza and with Hizbullah et al. No sane or rational person can argue with these 'facts on the ground'. Therefore, these guys and gals must be held to account. The first arena to do so is to place them on trial for derelection of duty, in as much as they willingly ! created a national security disaster. Plain and simple, even if you don't believe in divine retribution.
20. Join the group!
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens,NYC   (09.07.06)
I thought only schizophrenics and Christians think God is cutting them in directly on his plans. Looks like it's the Rebbe Wolfe, Jesus and Bad Chemistry on the bus with Iran's Ahmadinejad at the wheel as it roars towards the cliff of religious prophecy. Also, The Lord could use some Photoshop lessons. . . . perhaps there is a Reuters phtographer who can help him?

22. Olmert: "WE are TIRED of DEFEATING our ENEMIES"
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.07.06)
"We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies." -- Ehud Olmert in a June 2005 address to the Israel Policy Forum in New York. Olmert makes the stunning admission that he's tired of defeating Israel's enemies. In the 2006 Lebanon war, Israel shockingly backed down in war. Tired of defeating Israel's enemies, Olmert agreed to the UN resolution that threatens Israel's survival. Israel surrendered Gaza - Jewish land in exchange for war to PA/PLO/Hamas terrorists. Tired of winning, Olmert is determined to surrender the strategic high ground of Judea and Samaria to Israel's implacable enemies so that they can win. Peace never came through phony peace agreements or resolutions. Peace comes only through utter defeat of the enemy. Dear Israelis - take to the streets. Demand a stop to the surrenders. Demand that your enemies are utterly defeated.

25. DENIAL RUNS DEEP IN ISRAEL
Knave Dave ,   Honolulu, Hawaii, US   (09.08.06)
There is no cause-and-effect between Disengagement in Gaza and what happened in Lebanon. In fact, there is no cause-and-effect between Disengagement in Gaza and what has been happening in Gaza. The Palestinians captured Israeli soldiers just as much when Gaza was under Israeli control. They launched rockets into Israel just as much when Gaza was under Israeli control. And Israel is just as able to penetrate Gaza and beat up on it with army tanks in retaliation now that Gaza is under Palestinian control. Disengagement changed nothing. The intifada continues as it did before Disengagement. But denial allows people to see reality as they want to. They wanted to believe losing Gaza would be a security disaster, so they now try to forge an invisible connection between Disengagement and the losses in Lebanon via the invisible God. Maybe they should let God speak for himself instead of proclaiming judgment on his behalf.
26. # 25 Denial
steve ,   USA   (09.08.06)
Better to reprove bad behavior than remain silent in denial.
