Earthquake in the North, None Hurt - Inside Israel - Israel News - Israel National News

Earthquake in the North, None Hurt - Inside Israel - Israel News - Israel National News

Hey! I didn't feel a thing!

There was an earthquake in J'lem a few years ago, back when I lived there. I remember I was in bed and then the bed just kinda went like a wave passed through it. That was scary. It only occurred to me later that maybe I better get out of the house or go near a door post or something.

Warship Worries


Okay, for those keeping up, you know Iran sent some warships Israel's way.  They didn't pass the suez canal yet.  Egypt did its fancy footwork (saying to the media it will not allow this ship to pass. then quietly trying to let them pass).

Now American ships blocked up the Suez canal passage way.

feels like a confrontation. Story at Debka.

Protesters chant outside as Werdesheim brothers plead not guilty to beating black teen - Baltimore Sun

Protesters chant outside as Werdesheim brothers plead not guilty to beating black teen - Baltimore Sun

Looks like there may be more to the story than the article puts out....stay tuned....

This is either real complicated or real easy.

(1) there are groups who really want a rift between black and Jews -more than that, they want/need Jews to look bad.  So for them any story will be stretched, exaggerated, lied, etc. from different directions.  We have to be mindful of that and get info while keeping our emotions in check

This group will write articles slandering and really stretching the wrongs that Jewish people do, especially if its Ashkenazi white Jews.

This group will also find Black converts, Black born Jews, Hispanics, etc and hammer into them the ills of the Ashkenazi Jew.  They will feed on the feelings of helplessness and eternal victimhood and create a very angry, very emotional new Jew who is basically useless to the klal.

(2) We can't forget that there really is racism amongst us. Its REAL. So, its not fair to just sweep it all away and say "I know these ppl, they'd never do this!" maybe not to other Ashkenazi Jews who showed any sign of compassion towards "others"., but in the night, when nobody's looking -who knows what's in the hearts of man? and

(3) even if this kid WAS a criminal, if he wasn't caught doing an actual crime, then it still wasn't right to beat him like that.

(4) then there are the ones who want the Jews to look good no matter what. They will find no fault.  This is like the NAACPs of the Jewish world --they will defend no matter what the crime is- they will defend the Jew regardless of whatever moral, legal, code was breached. Not helpful.
