Israel By The Numbers

This was presented by Aish.com.  It is very well done and can open your eyes to this mysterious place called Israel -- different from any other country in the world.

http://media.aish.com/documents/Israel+by+numbers+-+infographics-A4.pdf

I thought I would include some other interesting facts:

• The Arab nations surrounding Israel have approximately 650 times the amount of land as Israel.  All the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, by international law and of course scriptures, is Israel.  The only occupied territory is where Arabs are occupying Israeli land and convincing the world it is theirs. 
• Include Islamist nations and it exceeds 1000 times the amount of land.
• Before 1948 the Palestinians were the Jews.  I still have Jewish neighbors who remember when they were children, their families were Palestinian.  The Arabs called themselves Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc, etc, etc.  In 1964 the newly formed PLO rewrote history and the Jew-hating world loved it, including the Jew-hating media.
• Palestine was never a sovereign nation and was illegally named by the Romans (it was actually Israel).
• The Arab terrorist groups in Israel (the Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, etc) have never said they wanted the land (when they talk in Arabic), only that they want all non-muslims dead -- "first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people" is the popular expression.  Of course, that statement pertains to all the people of the world and we can see how the Sunday people are starting to get their treatment.  Yet, the Sunday people still blame the Saturday people for everything that goes wrong in the world (Esav still is trying to kill Yaakov).
• Jews are approximately 1/4 of 1% of the world population (about 1 Jew out of every 400 people).

Look What's in the News

This is the beginning of a news item today:

Devastating droughts in the Southwest, ruinous floods in New York City, killer wildfires in Colorado, intense heat waves in the Plains: These are the some of the disasters that are being exacerbated by global warming, and problems will continue to worsen in the decades to come, according to a massive federal climate report released Tuesday at the White House.

They forgot to mentions the terrifying tornadoes of last week.  They also forgot to mention the increase in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; wait a minute, they aren't due to global warming.

The world doesn't have a clue.  This past winter, which is one of the coldest on record, they were getting away from the "global warning" idea.  Now, the so-called experts are back to the same nonsense (even though it is known that there are evil elite individuals who are making much money from this agenda -- the continued greed).

If they would just listen to Rav Nir Ben Artzi, shlita, they would have all the answers.  Hashem is doing exactly what He wants and it is working.  The evil ones are in more danger from so-called natural disasters than threat of war.  Who will be protected from this devastation?  I know, I repeat myself, those who measure for measure are following Hashem's ways.  The evil ones will be gone soon.  It will be those who just didn't believe in the absolute truth but instead believed a White House report.

By the way, the weather in Israel has been beautiful and very inviting (even though we need more rain).  I guess it is time to move here.

We Must Focus On The Truth

Discussion with Moishela (with his family)

A Handicapped child

3 Nissan 5774   (April 2, '14)

Well time seems to be dragging again. Really it isn’t but since we have gotten used to all kinds of crazy incidents in the world, when one maniac thing happens after another and it has become like everyday life, like what you would expect to happen. This is a planned operation to wear us down, planned by the Reshoim to wear us down to get us “dumbed down” and used to all kinds of things that normally would frighten us very much. However we keep going, dragging our feet, our minds jumbled more and more. We're heavy of limb and our minds are confused and I guess that’s where the term zombie comes from and definitely they are making most of the world into zombies. Hashem is letting the evil ones do their utmost important job and that is to squeeze out from every corner of the world the evil so it rises up to the top where we can see it clearly, and then Hashem will whisk it off the face of the earth like the whipped cream in a hot Milchig coffee. The thing is that all of us have become so weary that we can't even feel our spiritual side. In order to get to our spiritual side, we have to break through this terrible weightiness that has engulfed us.

We have to break away from what is happening in the world, at least for some part of the day, and come close again to reality which is our connection with Hashem. As time goes on we are going to see many more crazy things happening, things that normally we would never take seriously. For now we have to be able to disconnect from those things and strengthen the contact that we have with our Father in Heaven, and that will keep us sane, and that will keep us balanced, and that will keep us on top, not with the Reshoim, Chas Vesholom, but with Hakodosh Boruch Hu which will put us above everyone, above the Reshoim safe under the wings, so-to-speak, of our Father in Heaven. This isn't a simple job. We have to have a lot of willpower. We have to force ourselves to see the truth. We have to force ourselves to see what's real in life and what isn’t real in life. We have to force ourselves to see where our weaknesses are so we don’t get confused and we have to see where our strengths are so we can build on them in order to come closer to the truth. It's not easy. The whole world is under the spell of the evil and only a few Yidden and even a few Goyim are in any way wise to what is happening. The vast majority are not. They see evil as the devil himself, which is true, but they don’t realize that the devil himself, Yimach Shimo Vezichro, is at this moment ruling the world with Hashem's permission, taking over every nook and corner of the world, Shelo Naida.

On the other hand, Hashem has allowed a few Jews who do see the truth to stand up and say the truth, and more and more Yidden have become wise to what's happening and are coming closer and closer to Hakodosh Boruch Hu. Boruch Hashem that this is happening, but again in order to survive we must focus on the truth and not on the lies that are found in such great numbers.

What can I say? I can only tell you again to keep your focus. All of our Gashmius, all these years of Gashmius that started from the beginning of the 20th century until now, all of these years of Gashmius that’s just gotten larger and larger greater and greater taking over most of our lives, this Gashmius is an absolute lie. It takes us from the truth that the only one that can help us in anything is Hakodosh Boruch Hu. We rely so much on the lies, the lies of who's really supporting us and who's the real doctor and so on and so forth. These lies have become so prevalent that it's understood to be the truth, but it's not the truth. We must realize that no one cures us except Hakodosh Boruch Hu and that we'll get the same doctor if we stay here or if we fly off to America. We will get the same treatment even if the doctor is nicer or not so nice. Hashem cures us and not them. We have to realize that a person can work day and night and have no Parnassa. When Hashem deems it is time for us to have Parnassa we will have Parnassa. So if we do Hashem's will and we come very close to Him, all we have to do is raise our voices high and beg Him for Parnassa, Refuah Sheleimah and for every wish that we have, for children, for Erlicha children and so on and so forth. He's the only source, the absolute source of everything. Those who trust the Gashmius are losing. They won't have this world and not the next. I beg you, Am Yisroel, open your eyes. Put the emphasis on your closeness with Hashem. Don’t be afraid of anyone or anything, just from Hashem. Be His servant always. And your eyes and your mind and your heart will always see the truth and that truth is what's going to save us because that truth is what we are nourished from. It gives us eternal life and without it we're not only dead, we're nothing, Chas Vesholom.

So all of these shenanigans that they're pulling on us these rich people who are trying to control this world, all these episodes like the plane that got lost or this so-called war in the Ukraine or whatever is happening in the world, it's only an illusion that they are creating to confuse us. The only truth is Hakodosh Boruch Hu, so ignore all the nonsense and come back to Hakodosh Boruch Hu. There are however people who say, "Right, I don’t listen to any of this nonsense. I just go about my day and ignore them. Hashem will take care of everything." However most of those people don’t really believe that. It's just easier for them to say that because it prevents them from being frightened by what's going on, and it does allow them to continue their belief in and their desire for their Gashmius. This Gashmius is way above what anybody really needs. To those people I say, better you know what's going on in the world. Better you know that the world is in danger of being destroyed, at least most of it. Better you know that we're all in danger in order that you should, besides Davening three times a day and putting on Tefillin and so on, really, really focus on the truth and that is that Hashem is a HaKol Yachol, not only about wars but also about every single thing that is in your everyday life. So again I'll say health insurance, theft insurance, whatever insurance you've got will not insure you. Your bank account might disappear. Your doctor might give you the wrong injection or whatever he prescribes won't work and so on and so forth. They're only Hashem’s messengers. Even if they're the biggest experts in their field Hashem with no effort can make them make mistakes. So get on the right side, the side of Hakodosh Boruch Hu. Live your life totally in that direction and then Be'ezras Hashem we will all achieve eternal life which means growing constantly and getting closer and closer to Hakodosh Boruch Hu and to the truth.

I want you both, Mommy and Tatti to realize that this is very important. The everyday life besides Davening, learning, and coming close to Hashem has to be filled with Mitzvos and that’s the way we'll survive.

That’s the true reality. When a person dies, Shelo Naida, all the people that love this person are very sad. They feel they will never see him again, but they don’t know the real truth. The truth is that this person right now in this generation is only part of a Neshoma. It's not a whole Neshoma and when they get to Olam Habah this Neshoma connects with other Neshomas that they are part of, it doesn’t disappear. Just we as people are convinced we need these people, we've made certain contacts that we feel that we can't live without. We feel we can’t live without seeing them, without talking to them, but it's not true. It's not true because it's only a short amount of time until everybody is reunited, maybe not in the same form, but reunited in some way and this is the truth and when everyone comes back we'll see the most amazing things and nobody will miss anybody because everybody will be connected in the right way, not in an emotional way but in our true place in the Divine future of Creation.

I want also to give an example of Zaidy, your father. You don’t see him but he's there. He's here. Again I'll tell you the next world is very close. Zaidy, your father could be sitting right next to you. You wouldn’t even know it because the other world is not very far. However saying that, the Neshomas have to get permission to go anywhere, to come back here in any form even in a dream, because the connection between the two worlds is not allowed to be so evident at this point, until one day when the two worlds will merge into one.

I want so much that Am Yisroel should know that if we would only have Achdus, the Reshoim would be afraid of us. They are afraid for us to be one. They are afraid for us to have Achdus. They sent all kinds of people in to break us apart in every way and that itself is making them feel very great. Those biggest Reshoim that are so-called Jews who are for sure either Erev Rav or Amalaikim, and those Jews who are not real Jews, make the evil ones feel that they have made inroads  through them into the Frum community, and therefore those inroads have to be shut and we have to come together as one Am with Hakodosh Boruch Hu our Creator and show the world that we are with Him.

Here in Eretz Yisroel the Chareidim are close to one 1/4 of the population, which no one wants to admit to on the other side, and they're trying their best to split us up in every way. We have Askonim between us that are getting paid to split us up, to raise the level of the hatred between one Jew and another. If we would all come together, really, and say no to them and all decide that we are going to break away from them, they would have no strength against us because we are great in numbers in Eretz Yisroel, and if we are also close to Hashem no one could do anything to us.

In Chutz Laaretz it’s the same. If there would be no Machlokes, and all the Yidden would do Ratzon Hashem and beg Him to save us, then everything would be different. But since we are weak and we let this happen then I'm afraid for Am Yisroel and I don’t know how many will be left at the end to receive Moshiach Tzidkainu.

 בס"ד

  

G-d has shown the government of Israel and the Jews in Israel the true face of Abu Mazen and his friends!  Thank G-d that nothing has come out of this peace process!   The goal of the Palestinians, Hamas, and Fatah is to get all of their captives, take land from the holy land of Israel and then continue to fight and send missiles and bombs into Israel without end.

Until this moment, they continue to dig tunnels toward army bases, working 24 hours a day.  They dig tunnels from houses that Palestinians live in.  Even now they are smuggling ammunition and weapons from the Sinai Desert and are also manufacturing ammunition themselves.  They do not want peace, only to conquer the land of Israel.

Now the government of Israel and the Jews need to be even more careful!  Everyone has discovered that the Hamas and Palestinians are united - not from today.  Jews finally know that Arabs hate us, they know the truth!  There are Jews that live in an illusion that the Arabs and Palestinians can be trusted.

Memorial Day is a very sad and happy day!  Because thanks to the IDF soldiers who have fallen, we sit in our homes, live in our country, the land of Israel, and are not being persecuted.  We cannot forget for one moment the IDF soldiers who have fallen!  Thanks to them, we live safely!  The people of Israel need to bow their heads to every IDF solder!  Nothing can replace the pain.

Dear Jews living in Israel, you must not take the law into your own hands!  You are ruining your good name and it is a shame!  It is a shame that the good name of youths will be ruined.  It causes violence and tension in Israel and later on, G-d forbid, it will cause Jews to lose their faith in other Jews.  You need to be careful, don't do things that are wrong.

The government of Israel and the Jews need to support every IDF soldier so that they know they have someone to rely on!  First on G-d, and then on the government of Israel and the people of Israel!

The IDF soldiers must follow the rules as they are trained.  Footage and photos about IDF soldiers only lower the value of the IDF and lower the motivation.  You need to give soldiers confidence.  You cannot punish IDF soldiers when the truth is not known!

The IDF must be vigilant. There are units of terrorists in the West Bank and in Israel and some of the Arabs that live in Israel help the Arabs outside of Israel.

IDF soldiers - don't hitchhike!  Follow IDF rules.  Arabs are dressing up as Jews, religious women, Jewish men, looking like Jews to kidnap, G-d forbid, soldiers and harm Jews.

Government of Israel, all of the parliament members and ministers, G-d is asking you to unite.  You need to develop the economy in Israel, construction for young couples, education of youth, develop the Negev, Samaria and the Western Galilee, and build settlements.  Jews, there is no need to live in the center of Israel, that is how evil will decrease in unclean places and there will be livelihoods and happiness in the holy land of Israel.

Saudi Arabia has seen that the United States does not have power and has taken out its ammunition and weapons for show in order to say that it is here and on the map.

Iran can never harm Israel.  They know full well that G-d has chosen the Jews; they know that if they want to do something to the state of Israel, they will be swallowed by the earth and water will cover them!  They laugh at the Americans and the rest of the world.

Russia listens to no one.  It does what it wants - "I will do what is best for Russia and everyone else can bite me."  They only care about themselves and their civilians.

G-d is doing great work so that the United States will stop bothering Israel and stop blaming Israel, as if it took the whole world and left the gentiles only a small piece of land.  G-d, praise Him, has given the United States troubles on end, in their economy, nature, and even the Russian army, so that they have something to deal with.  They will deal with each other and will eventually leave Israel alone.

Syria is eating itself, one is eating the other and they are being finished more from day to day.  No one can help them.  At one time, countries wanted to help and there was almost a world war between them.  They do not want to get complicated with Syria.

Nasralah and Hezbollah are disappearing.  First they had Syria and Iran, and now they are complicated among themselves.  Iran is sending them weapons and ammunition secretly.  Once they sent an air train, today they try in every way, in secret.  The IDF has eyes open everywhere.

Hamas, Fatah, the Palestinians, and jihad have very devious plans.  We need to be very careful to ensure they do not surprise us inside Israel.

Egypt is being eaten from within; it has no solutions and is under alert to avoid a revolution.  Nothing will help them, a revolution will come, patience.

In Jordan the king is very disappointed.  It pains him that the fugitives have doubled and tripled and Hamas together with the fugitives are ruining Jordan.  He has no help from anyone in the world.  The peace has been canceled and their truth has been discovered.

In Turkey, the president comes to everyone with love and peace so that there are no demonstrations and problems, nothing will help him.

Anti-Semitism is increasing every day.  Jews living outside of Israel need to be very careful!  You need to run for your lives and come to Israel to settle in the holy land.  Nothing will help you, anti-Semitism will never stop - quite the opposite, it will increase.  They will see on camera Jews being chased and running away in humiliation.

There will continue to be natural disasters, floods, volcano eruptions, earth quakes, rain, winds, confused planes and ships, colliding trains, disasters on the roads, confused animals and beasts.

Every day they will wait for night, and every night they will wait for a day.  The world is in chaos and it is by G-d's hand.

G-d is waiting and expects from his children the Jews to ask for the Messiah to be crowned!  There is a Messiah in every generation who protects the state of the Jews, the state of Israel so that no Jew will miss the crowning of the Messiah!

Jews, stop being complacent and ask G-d to crown the Messiah because only this can save the situation of the state of Israel and all of the Jews in the world!

Message from Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, shlita Parshat Emor תשעד

בס"ד

G-d, Creator of the Earth, since the time of Exodus until now, has used angels, messengers on earth to do the work.  Now, all of the floods on Earth, the fire, volcano eruptions, lightning and thunder, earthquakes, conflicts and complications, cold here and heat there, strong rains, darkness, disease and harsh plagues in all kinds of places in the world, complications in planes and ships and the defense of the holy state of Israel - all this, G-d does himself!  His acts on Earth teaches everyone a lesson as He did with the Tower of Babel!  He Himself, G-d Himself came down to this world to manage it and guide it to purity and holiness, just like He came down to strike the firstborns in Egypt.  Not angels or seraphs, G-d Himself is fighting on Earth to lead it towards purity and holiness, love and peace, and to prevent nuclear war on earth!

G-d says to all of the seven billion gentiles on earth: I have given you the entire earth, please stop bothering my Jewish children living in Israel, and leave them alone!  Stop bothering the smallest place in the world, don't bother the state of Israel and the Jews in it, it is the center of the world! G-d has chosen the Jewish people, the Jewish people feed off of G-d directly!  Through Torah, prayer, good deeds, and correcting wrongs, the light comes down and gives Jews living in Israel life!  Stop bothering my children and the holy land!

Every Jew, orthodox, religious or non-religious, must read a few chapters from the Torah and Psalms every day and he/she will have peace of mind and wisdom.  This is for working Jews who don't have time to learn Torah and read Psalms.

The iPhone has come to the world because G-d has chosen it.  It is not an invention of the other side. There is TV and internet, computers and the iPhone and G-d says to use these tools for purity and holiness, to learn Torah through them, to do good deeds.  In everything there is both good and bad.

In heaven there are no deadlines and schedules, they decide and that's it.  It happens whenever it happens.  In the heavens, they know that something needs to happen on earth, the crowning of the Messiah, and they wait, they have their own time.  We the Jews in Israel believe, and will believe, that G-d has pity on the people of Israel before any plan that anyone wants.  One wants the Messiah now, and one doesn't want him now – May G-d give everyone wisdom and knowledge to understand that there is a Messiah and he is active!

The United States is turning its face concerning the fake peace with the Palestinians and Israel.  It has seen the ugly face of Abu Mazen as he acts poor and miserable, pulling everyone's strings, leading them through impurity and in the end he has fooled them all.  The United States had better take care of itself, its economy and Iran.  Iran is dangerous; it is making a fool of the United States and is backed by Russia.

Russia also does not care about the United States, they listen to no one.

Iran is nothing compared to Israel.  The physical and spiritual power of Israel, the IDF, can hurt Iran and so they fear Israel.

G-d does not want to bring destruction and a third world war!  G-d does not want a nuclear war and will not let it happen on earth, thanks to the Jews living in Israel who have a G-dly spark in their soul from G-d.

The government and the Israeli delegation thought that Abu Mazen will reach an agreement, that he is not connected to the Hamas.  G-d has thwarted Abu Mazen and his entourage and has revealed to the people of Israel and the Israeli government the scheming and conning done in front of the "peace" with the Jews.  He has made a fool of everyone, at first telling the Hamas to be quiet in order to fool the people of Israel.  But, G-d has revealed him and all of his lies, his stench and schemes.

The government of Israel must stop being naive!  Until this moment, the Palestinians, Hamas, and Fattah are digging tunnels nonstop in order to abduct IDF soldiers.  Wake up from your coma!  G-d is dismantling and destroying Syria, the Hezbollah and all of the Arab countries so that there is quiet for the people of Israel and so that we are not bothered; and, you want to give parts of Israel away to the Palestinians?!  He has taken Syria off of your backs and you are playing around with the Palestinians?!  The Hamas is reconciling with the Palestinians and Fattah and everyone is uniting so that they have the power to influence and take parts of the land of Israel.

The Israeli government must overcome the threatening and living in illusion; G-d has revealed to you who Abu Mazen is and who his friends are!  G-d has told the government of Israel: stop the fighting among yourselves immediately; cancel this false peace with the Palestinians, this conflict is ages old, they want to end the people of Israel.

Syria will continue to be annihilated by the hand of G-d.

Jordan and his king are traumatized by what Abu Mazen has done.  They are saying: why did he open his mouth now and not wait until after the agreement?

Egypt does not love Abu Mazen's talks with the Hamas, they hate the Hamas and not because of terrorism.  The Hamas is doing the opposite of the Ten Commandments, sowing evil and destruction in Egypt and the entire world.

The Hezbollah and Nasrallah don't have power or brains; there is no one to help them.

In Turkey, Arduan is giving all kinds of gifts to his people, especially the strongest of his people, so that there is no revolution.  It will not help; all those he fired are waiting to pounce on him soon.

The government of Israel needs to work hard against all drug dealers bringing drugs into Israel who work with the Arabs to destroy Jewish youth and interfere with their growth to be future IDF soldiers. Thanks to these youths, there are soldiers in the IDF and the state of Israel exists.  Open your eyes, Israeli government; you need to find an urgent solution to the drinking and gambling problem.

You need to urgently publicize that there is cruel and harsh anti-Semitism against Jews, just like before the holocaust.  You need to uproot anti-Semitism against Jews; the gentiles wear a nice suit and have a black heart.

Every year we remember the holocaust so that the Jews don't forget what they went through, so that they remain vigilant and protect the people of Israel.

When all of the Jews obey the Ten Commandments, the people of Israel will be completely protected!

When the world reaches its peak, the worst state of imbalance on earth, suffering and harsh complications, and this is very soon, G-d will crown the Messiah with mercy.
