5. Bauch Dayan HaEmet: Bibi remember your father with honor
(04.30.12)
by upholding his most basic beliefs. He was 100% right that understanding the past leads to understanding the present situation and knowing what to do in the future when the time calls for decisions and action. He was right in opposing the Gaza disengagements vociferously and witnessed the promised peace shattered as rockets have incessantly been launched since from the closer strategic position that we gave them. Remember these lessons and mistakes and honor your father by not repeating them. Hold on to Israel -- every inch of it. Hold fast. Hashem should grant you and your family comfort and strength in this difficult time.

30. Honor thy father
Just another Jew ,   United States   (04.30.12)
Bibi, yours was someone uniquely qualified to be chosen ( from our Creator) as your father and mentor, may you heed his teachings and his warnings, Israel must end any bowing to the 'western' pressures that never did represent Israel, but, rather had hoped to rule you from afar. As we see, these same 'western' nations are bankrupt and did little to end the massacre of 6 million Jews. Why should they thrust their own failures upon Israel? The decisions of Israel's future belongs solely to her citizens and her elected officials. Build Israel defend Israel. That is all Israel must concentrate upon. Do not listen to the 'wisdom?' of those nations that cannot manage their own affairs with honor. Israel is the promise kept, it is the duty of every faithful Jew to claim the land given her by her G-d. "Thou shalt not bow thyself down to them." Hear, O hear O Israel.
