Blessings should come with warnings. The best blessing that could be given to Jews in Georgia, and all over Europe, is for Jews to "vamoose" out of there as soon as possible. Rabbis must not repeat the deadly misjudgement made by great Jewish Rabbis, especially the Chassidic Rabbis, in Europe before WW2. The majority advised their communities to stay where they were; We all know what happened to 6 million Jews.! All Rabbis in the Diaspora should "bless" their communities with a blessing of Redemption. TIME TO COME HOME TO ERETZ YISRAEL>

The Orthodox Church is strong among the Georgians. He should trust more in his own people and in turn his people, the Ossetians including, will trust in him. Thanks to Rabbi Shteinman, of course.

Give me a break! Why did the Georgians try to take over South Ossetia in the first place? They were certainly no match for the Russians. And the West looked the other way as the Geogians took a beating. Forget about the Iranians. They don't even look half as brutal as the Russians.

What are you talking about? Whether the rabbis would have said stay put or go to E"Y in the 1930s and 1940s, the fact remains that there was nowhere for the bulk of the murdered six million Jews to go. E"Y has a Jewish population of maybe half a million in 1940s, and its borders were shut pretty tight by the Brits (illegal aliyah could not sufficiently penetrate the British blocade). Have some respect for the rabbis.

Why do you resent that Georgian PM has asked a saintly man to pray for Georia in a time she is in great danger?

But unfortunately some Georgians and others paid for the mindless war crimes of these characters with their lives. The blood of all who perished in this Zionist-inspired war is on Israels hands.

Have you experience any brutality in the hands of Iranians at all?

I could not agree more. Just one thing though, I noticed from your email address that you still seem to be in SA. Time to come home bru??

...brutalizing EVRERYBODY - it's neighbors, EU and the Americas. For that matter, Iran has declared numerous times (in Farsi of course!) that it seeks a world-wide Holocaust to hasten the return of their pagan "prophet", which ironically, is hated by Arabs, especially Sunnis too. I would say that Iran has been brutalizing everybody for a long time. It's high time to put an end to this and remove the Barbaric Monkeys hwo will bring only doom to the simple Iranians. Shah's secret police and brutal methods are a walk in the garden compared to the vicious branch of Islam preached by the crazed mullahs and the brutal midget who hops up and hown waving with his Nuclear, Chemical and Biological arsenal.

HAHAHA! Russia's genocide in Georgia is Zionist-inspired! You make me laugh! Maybe you murdering your minorities and bullying the world is also Zionist-inspired? That means that we can tell Russia to kick your butt too??? I wonder why we haven't done that already! But it is typical to shed crocodile tears as Georgia - a deeply Orthodox-Christian country is being bitten by another global bully who supplies you with Uranium for destabilizing the whole region. You cannot fool us! You could not care about Georgia any less. Georgia's misfortune is only a platform for you to deliver - as usual -your racist rant.

But unfortunately some Iranians and others paid for the mindless war crimes of these characters with their lives. The blood of all who perished in this Muslim-inspired terror is on Teheran's hands.

...apart for them existing despite your crazed government trials to wipe them off the face of the Earth? Actually Israel has done NOTHING at all to 90% of the Muslim/Arab people, except for those who have been attacking it. But we know what the problem is. You and your kind are the worst racists since the Nazis and today you can also teach them a lesson or two about genocide, murder, terror and racism. So don't play "what have we done to you?" demagogy game. When applied in reverse to your kind, this question receives a question mark of monumental proportions!

Is the current conflict between Cambodia and Thailand over the Buddhist temple, Zionist-inspired too? Sheesh. You would think with all of the violence and crime that is so easily connected to Islam that Muslims wouldn't be so quick to open their mouths like that.

As Georgia had once been subjugated by the Islamized Persians during the Middle Ages and she dreams of this empire again, the reassertion of Georgia's independence makes those prospects look bleak. How disappointing.

Gee whiz, Rich, you tell me. Why did Canada try to take over Quebec and Labrador? Why did John Bobbitt decide to have his braggiole reattached?

Actually, you're wrong about the Arabs and Sunnis hating the "prophet" (by which I assume you mean the Hidden Imam). The only distinction is that the Sunnis believe that he will be (or rather is, since its pre-ordained stuff, and all that crazy grammar!) an ordinary mortal that will die, wherease the Shi'ites believe that he will be (ibid) divine.

First to Avraham; The point is that most Rabbis were anti-Zionist, and dissuaded many many Jews from making Aliyah. Today when it is very easy to do so, there are great Torah leaders in the Diaspora who still believe in strengthening the Jewish presence in exilic Lands. To Rick in Rannana; I did make Aliyah 3years ago (at the age of 73). Unfortunately it has been interrupted due to the mental health of my daughter. We had to return to S'Africa, but we hope to come back to our real home a.s.a.p. B'ezrat Hashem.

Your thoughts are mine exactly.

Neither are they the Levites that G-d directed to be in charge. Big mistake to substitute Gods directives and give power to those who are not appointed by G-d to that office! Israel should have listened to G-d and had the sons of Aaron for judgment. Rabbis are not in their proper place.

Your reference to John Bobbitt is hilarious. Hopefully, it wasn't wasted on a clueless Canadian.

God Bless all the Jews!Amen!

God bring healing and wholeness to your daughter.
