Deja Vu

THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1968 41 years ago - Astonishing!

You probably don't remember the name Eric Hoffer. He was a longshoreman who turned into a philosopher, wrote columns for newspapers and some books. He was a non-Jewish American social philosopher. He was born in 1902 and died in 1983, after writing nine books and winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Eric Hoffer was one of the most influential American philosophers and free thinkers of the 20th Century. His books are still widely read and quoted today.

Here is one of his columns from 1968 -- 41 years ago! Some things never change.

ISRAEL'S PECULIAR POSITION...by Eric Hoffer - LA Times 5/26/68

The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it.

Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel , the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees.

Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single one. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.

Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious, it must sue for peace.

Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world. Other nations, when they are defeated, survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed.

Had Nasser triumphed last June [1967], he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.

No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Blacks are executed in Rhodesia.

But, when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one demonstrated against him. The Swedes, who were ready to break off diplomatic relations with America because of what we did in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troops in Norway.

The Jews are alone in the world.

If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts and Jewish resources. Yet at this moment, Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally.

We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us.

And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer [1967] had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war, to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.

I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us.

Should Israel perish, the Holocaust will be upon us all.

Devorah HaNevia: MBY

Guest post by Daniel Krentzman via Reb Ari Goldwag

By Devorah HaNevia and Barak Ben Avinoam, a'h, we have a precedent for the kind of dynamic where the mission of Mashiach ben Yosef is shared, in partnership, by two people (male and female דוכרא ונוקבא)

In ‫ שופטים ד' ד-ה‬it says:
‫ודבורה אשה נביאה אשת לפידות היא שפטה את ישראל בעת ההיא והיא יושבת‬ ‫תחת תמר דבורה בין הרמה ובית אל בהר אפרים‬
“Devorah was a prophetess, the wife of Lappidos; she judged Yisrael at that time. She would sit
under the date palm of Devorah between Ramah and Bet El on Mount Efrayim”.

This verse contains hints to Devorah HaNevia and Barak’s possession of the spiritual qualities of Mashiach ben Yosef.

Firstly, ChaZaL taught that: “Lappidos”, used here, which literally means “torch” is
actually another name used to describe “Barak”; for “torch light” and “Barak”, which means “a
flash of light”, are similar in meaning (see Redak).

Different forms of fire and light, such as "‫“ ,"שחר‬morning light”, "‫“ ,"אש‬flame”, "‫“ ,"ברק‬flash
of light” and "‫“ ,"נר‬candle flame” are all references to the spiritual qualities of Mashiach ben
Yosef (see ‫ .(קול התור ב‬

Thus Devorah HaNevia being described as: "‫,"אשת לפידות‬ implies that she was connected to the spiritual quality of Mashiach ben Yosef in her generation. This is also true by Barak, whose name also denotes manifestation of Mashiach ben Yosef.

It is also not happenstance that Devorah HaNevia chose to locate her authority in the area of Mount Efrayim, for "‫ "הר אפרים‬is in the territory of the tribe of Yosef, and “Mount Efrayim” itself is also a term used to describe Mashiach ben Yosef (see קול התור ב' א‬).

It is also not without significance that, in their song (‫שופטים ה' יד‬) Devorah HaNevia and Barak Ben Avinoam mention fighting against Amalek, which is also included in the mission of Mashiach ben Yosef (see ‫קול התור ב' נה סב‬).

Woe to us on the Day of Judgment

Asher (Maso'od) Biton is a popular resident of Kiryat Shmona. He made Aliya from Morocco at the age of 6 and at the age of 13 he began working in Chevre Kadisha. Asher loved his work so much, he continues till today. Many can testify that Asher works Leshem Shamayim with much love and happiness. It's strange to see a 13-year-old boy digging graves, "As a child, I was physically strong and anything that was needed, I was first to volunteer. I learned the entire system of Chevre Kadisha." People that know Asher describe him as a simple, modest, and humble person. Always smiling and very optimistic. What happened to him shocked the city and all prayed that his health return to him.

Clinical Dead
"A person cannot know what will happen tomorrow," quotes Asher when he begins describing what occurred to him. "It was a beautiful bright day but my body was feeling strange, I felt something unnatural happening to me." Asher drove to his parent's grave and asked them for forgiveness for hurting them. "I knew something is going to happen to me."

"At 10:30 am, I arrived at the cemetery and felt excruciating pain in the chest. I felt my left arm very heavy and was unable to lift it. I told Machluf (Ochana, his cousin: Chevre Kadisha manager) that I'm in pain and they took me to HMO (health center). When we entered the elevator, I suddenly was unable to see, I became blind. Everything was dark and my head was spinning and unable to breathe. The Doctor immediately did an EKG and discovered that I had an heart attack. During treatment, I cried and said to my cousin Machluf, "Please forgive me. I am dying today." That minute I had a heart attack and died.

"My soul exited my body and was floating 2 meters above my body. I saw and heard everything. Machluf hugged my body and said, "My brother, goodbye." Doctor Boris Sidlekovsky didn't give up. He gave my body electric shots and after 5 attempts, he ruled I was dead.

Did you feel the electric shots?
"I felt turbulence. It was difficult and was crying and praying they should have mercy on this body."

You say that you floated over your body. What did you see?
I was dead for 45 minutes and during this time, I entered different worlds.

Heavenly Court
"I left Kiryat Shmona, Israel, the world and entered the world of truth," continues Asher.

How did the soul arrive there?
I felt a very strong wind pulling me to a small river that expanded during my upward 'flight'. During this time I felt a very special air that is indescribable, it cannot be described in this world. From there I saw a light that slowly became stronger - an infinite light with many colors. Suddenly I saw 4 images, 2 from each side and they were grabbing my arms.

What did they look like?
Their eyes were glazing fire. Suddenly they called, "Maso'od Biton!" 3 time and said, 'go to Heavenly court.' On the way there I saw many images in black with red eyes. In the background I hear, "Come to heavenly court."

In this place, did you have a body or a face?
Nothing. I felt I was in space. Like a small sheep against 70 wolves. When I arrived at the heavenly court, the black images were staring at me in a cruel way and were screaming and yelling, "Wicked, wicked, wicked."

What did you do? Are you wicked?
(Asher began crying and his breathing became difficult. I waited...) I was unable to answer them. It was prohibited for me to speak.

Why?
Because one is prohibited to speak in the heavenly court. They began bringing all my files. I see the black images running back and forth, they wanted me and I felt so ashamed.

Who are these black images?
They are angels of destruction. Their gaze is very cruel and eyes blazing fire. They showed me my signatures. Meaning, they were showing me all the transgressions I committed. They whispered between themselves and decided that my judgment is Gehenom. They continued screaming, "Wicked, wicked, wicked." I felt so disgraced and shamed. I now understood the meaning of "Woe to us on the Day of Judgment".

Asher continues to describe the heavenly court. Four images of young children in white surrounded him. "They defended me. They demanded we approach the Rabbinic Heavenly Court and claimed that it's not fair that that I was judged so quickly to Gehenom without anyone hearing the good deeds I did."

From there we went to a different world. A world that is a copy of this world. We arrived at the IDF cemetery of Kiryat Shmona. We saw five rows of soldiers of IDF, all were wearing white.

Do you remember the soldiers you saw?
Of course. I know all of them. Eli Ochana ben Rachel, Mordechai Pinchas, Uri Azulai - he died sanctifying HaShem's great name. I saw him with the same smile he used to smile. I saw Eyal ben Margi and many other soldiers. They are saints. They were all dressed in white. When they saw me, I heard them happily chanting, "Masu'ud arrived". They were very excited.

I don't understand - when you saw them, were you in this world, our world?
I saw my body in this world but my soul was in the upper worlds. We all went to the Rabbinical Heavenly Court. The soldiers defended me against the black images (the angels of destruction) and said to them, "Leave him alone, he is with us."

What does the Rabbinical Heavenly Court look like?
There are 71 judges. Their faces has an infinite light. Their beauty is indescribable.

Do you whom they are?
Yes but am not allowed to reveal. The first four Tzaddikim I recognized - two of them are alive and breathing and the other two passed away in our generation.

Asher describes important details of his judgment, tens of young children, angels, and many more details but to describe all this a book is needed to be written, not an article. In the Rabbinical Heavenly Court there are scales and on one side is weighed the person's good deeds and on the other side are weighed the transgressions. After placing all the good deeds vs. the transgressions, it is judged which side is heavier. This procedure is done only after a soul entered the pure Mikveh in the upper world. This Mikveh is the place where all transgressions are cleansed. The details are without a doubt very scary but in a place of reward and punishment, one pays for his transgressions and this place is very just, to put it mildly.

During his suffering in this place, he heard loud screaming at him, "Wicked, this is what happens to a person that speaks in shul!" After all the suffering for his transgressions, they continued to hurt him, "Wicked, why did you speak in shul?" (As Asher was describing the pain and shame, he almost choked while crying).

Where you not able to defend yourself?
No and even worse, they showed a 'movie' of my life from the minute I was born till I died.

How did you see the 'movie'; on a TV screen?
I don't know how to describe it but to differentiate between holiness and secular, it's like a screen. You see everything including my Bar Mitzvah, what I did in total privacy, in public, everything! And like I said, I was punished severely for speaking in shul. I was shown how many time I spoke, with whom I spoke, who spoke to me and how I replied...

What other punishments did you receive?
Many. Including desecration of the holy Shabbat. Such as crying, getting angry, and being sad on Shabbat. One of the most severe punishments is for desecrating the holy Shabbat.

What about the little details of desecrating the holy Shabbat, such as sorting, carrying, etc.?
Of course. Even though I was very careful not to carry anything, I was accused of these transgressions because I was told that I did not properly learn these Mitzvot.

After viewing the 'movie' of his life, Asher was returned to the Rabbinic Heavenly Court. The court is conducted in a method of judging good deeds (credit) vs. obligations (debit). "When I arrived, they brought a jar full of water and said to me, "This is all your tears collected from the pain you endured.' Everything is counted for in the upper world. They took the suffering I endured vs. the tears and placed it on the scales. You must understand that I was petrified. I didn't understand what is happening to me, what they are going to do with me. After weighing the good deeds and obligations, I was judged that I have more good deeds.

Two persons wearing white took me to the purifying Mikveh. They 'showered' me and took me to a large Mikveh and dunked me and it was then that I was permitted to enter the lower Gan Eden. It's a place you can enjoy eternally and every minute and second is pleasurable.

Who was there?
I saw my parents, including David Marco and my brother Eli. They were all so happy and asked me, "Why did you come here?" I saw most of my family members, may they rest in peace. I saw everyone. I also saw a row of Tzaddikim and Rabbanim with crown on their heads and learning Torah and Gemara.

What were you thinking and feeling?
It was an indescribable pleasure. I did not want to return to this world. I wanted to remain there. You must understand that I was allowed entrance to Gan Eden only after long stormy arguments between the images in white and images in black and the images in black were 100 times more than the images in white. But after I was judged entrance to Gan Eden, the images in black disappeared like they were never there. They showed me a table of gold and said to me, "these are your sins." They showed me a large green garden with all sorts of plants and fruits, all in green, and told me "this is your portion."

How did you return to this world?
I was shown a very holy man and light come forth from his face. I was staring at him for a long time. He told me in an angry tone, "I don't want to see you here. I want to see you in Miron." He repeated this 3 times. He hit me on my forehead where we place the Tefillin of the head with his right hand. From there, I was taken while accompanied by persons wearing white to an enormously large room. Suddenly I felt someone pushing me and immediately I was returned to my body in the operating room. I felt I was floating on top of my body and crying, "Help me, help me" and entered my body.

Since returning to his body, Asher Biton's health is slowly returning. Chasdei Shamayim, he is now able to do things independently. He began writing a book on his heavenly court experience and publicly speaks about it.

Doctor Boris Sidlekovsky, the doctor that treated Asher says, "After the 5 electric shots I gave Asher, I gave up but something in me could not give up. I called Rav Amram Afergan Shlita from Kiryat Ata and told him the situation. He asked that I give Asher one more electric shot and said we will see a miracle. As a believing person, I believe in miracles but to actually see Asher Biton return to life after 45 minutes, is something totally different.

Did you believe he can return to the living?
If I did not believe, I would have not called the Rav. But when it actually happened, I pinched myself and asked if this is real. It was a very difficult situation because Asher had a heart attack and he was clinically dead. The person did not breathe. All the doctors gave up and when he began breathing again, we were all shocked! There is no other word to describe except a miracle. A true miracle.

Comment: Asher continues to go to shul and can be found in Vradim shul in Kiryat Shmona. Anyone can ask him questions and more details.

Additional comments:
The Kaf HaChaim (ibid. Siman 151:8) describes the severity of the sin of talking in Shul and says that one who talks in Shul would be better off not coming at all. He also criticizes even people who learn Torah and discuss it publicly during davening; he concludes that one must be even more diligent about all of this on Shabbos.
The Chayei Adam (Klal 17 Sif 6) writes that the Mitzvah to revere a Shul is MideOraisa and quotes that one who talks in Shul is as though he denies Hashem.
The Magen Avraham (ibid. Sif Katan 3) notes that the AriZal was very careful to say only words of Tefillah in Shul, avoiding even discussions of Mussar and Teshuvah, lest he be led by them to improper topics.
The Mishnah Berurah ( ibid. Siman 124 Sif Katan 28) indicates that one should educate and train one's children by encouraging them to display the proper feelings in awe in Shul, and adds that it would be better if children who run back and forth and play in Shul would not be brought there at all because they will grow up having bad habits in Shul and because they disturb other people.

Shana Tova

Wish you all a Shana Tova - may this year 5770 only bring joy to the whole world and bring us to the completion of the unfolding of our redemption.

My prayers are that all of us to have a Shana Tova filled with happiness, peace, health, prosperity and security, and to be able to make our lives meaningful by tapping into the will of God and partnering with Him in a partnership for the betterment of this world, through the incredible power of Tzedaka...

Moshiach is Coming!

In continuation of what Rav Kanievsky Shlita said about the coming redemption, that by next year Moshiach will be here and we will no longer be fasting 9 Av, HaRav Dov Kook Shlita said in Teveria in his weekly shiur to his students, "Do not leave the borders of Israel between 9 Av till Rosh HaShana because difficult things will occur in the world during this time."

Harav Binyahu Shmueli Shlita said 2 weeks ago that within 80 days the redemption will begin.

Harav Eliezer Berland Shlita told his Chassidim not to purchase flight tickets to Uman this year till further notice. He also said some hair-raising warnings about hostilities that could erupt in the world before Rosh Hashana.

When Will Moshiach Arrive?

While the fast of 9 Av is still in the air, a resident of Bnei Brak visited the honorable Rav Kanievsky Shila to ask him a few questions regarding the fast. The revered Rav answered him, "The answers I'll give you will not help you. By this time next year, Moshiach will be here and we will no longer be fasting."

The above rare answer from the Rav is extremely extraordinary. All those present in Rav Kanievsky's house were astounded to hear this surprise answer.

If I Forget Thee, Oh Yerushalayim

This post is in loving memory of the Lubavitcher Rebbe of blessed and saintly memory, whose 15th yahrtzeit is today, 3 Tammuz.

The Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'kl, forewarned: “Yerushalayim will have to be freed once more”

Recently, Yom Yerushalayim was celebrated. We bring a relevant excerpt of an interview with former MK Geula Cohen, who relates what the Lubavitcher Rebbe, zs'kl, told her years ago regarding Yerushalayim.

“I visited the Lubavitcher Rebbe immediately after the Six Day War. During the course of the conversation, the Rebbe spoke harsh words also about Yerushalayim.

“The Rebbe said that Yerushalayim wasn’t occupied because of a deep inner desire to free our holy places, rather due to external pressure. This was obvious in the way that the IDF was requested not to damage anything, and cost the lives of soldiers.

“He also spoke of the uncertainties that were part of the war that they hadn’t prepared to occupy our holy places, and didn’t identify themselves with those places, and have no empathy for them. Therefore the Rebbe said that he is concerned that Yerushalayim will have to be occupied once again.

“In that same conversation, he said that this occupation will not hold out, and that the city will have to be fought for again.

"When the Rebbe told me this, I was extremely alarmed. When the Rebbe noticed this, he tried to calm me, and said that certainly things may change, if the leadership changes their mode of thought. But this is what the Rebbe felt, and what he told me at that time.

“At first I was wary of publicizing what the Rebbe said. At the time, his words seemed unrealistic. Only after a while, when we all see the situation, I publicized the Rebbe’s words.”

Excerpt from an interview aired on Reshet Moreshet, with Uri Revach. www.sos-israel.com

Yosef HaTzaddik's Hillula

* Yosef HaTzadik, zs'kl, (Joseph the Righteous) was the gilgul of Noach HaTzadik, zs'l. He returned as Yosef HaTzaddik to correct the Brit HaKodesh (Holy Covenant).

* Yosef HaTzadik was not born handsome and as he grew up, he was an average-looking teenager. When Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, met with his brother, Esav, Yosef HaTzadik was afraid that Esav will see his beautiful mother, Rochel Imenu, a'h, and will want her. Therefore, he stood in front of her covering her beauty. As a reward for protecting his mother, he instantly became very handsome.

* Yaakov Avinu took the birthright away from Reuven, a'h, and gave it to Yosef HaTzaddik. (Bava Batra 86:6, 123a).

* After the brothers, a'h, sold Yosef HaTzaddik, they regreted it and ran after the Midyanim to buy him back but were not able to catch up. The brothers blamed Yehudah and at that moment, it was decreed in Shamayim that Yehuda's wife and 2 sons will die, a'h.

* Yosef HaTzaddik, zs'l was 17 years-old at the time he was sold into slavery.

* The wife of Potifar had her servants tie down Yosef HaTzaddik and placed a metal brace around his neck with a sharp point right under his chin. Yosef HaTzaddik still refused to look at her and each time he would lower his head, it cut open his chin. This happened every single day for a period of a year, as it says "They bound his legs in rope and metal pierced his soul" Tehilim 105.

* The day Potiphar's wife tried forcing him to sin, he visualized the image of his father Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, and meditated on the name containing the Mystery of the Ketonet Pasim. This was the last thing his father had taught him. With this he overcame his desires as he stabbed his fingers and toes in the ground placing his full weight on them until the desire left him.

* Potiphar visited Yosef HaTzaddik in prison and knew that Yosef HaTzaddik was innocent. He was afraid to speak up because his wife was a very powerful woman and was afraid that Pharoah would place him in prison.

* Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l, was living in Hevron at the time and he knew thru Ruach HaKodesh that Yosef HaTzaddik is alive in Egypt but he did not reveal it to his son, Yaakov Avinu.

* Yosef HaTzaddik was in prison for 12 years and the prisoners would abuse him daily because of Potiphar's wife. HaShem caused for 2 important ministers to err so Pharoah would throw them in jail. This caused the prisoners to stop abusing Yosef HaTzaddik and instead, to talk about the 2 jailed government ministers.

* The wife of Potifar would constantly sneak into jail and continued tempting him, offering him freedom and money. She had him tortured when he refused.

* When Yosef HaTzaddik was released from jail he received an incarnation of the soul of Chanoch ben Yered, a'h (who became the angel Matatron). That same night the angel Gavriel appeared to Yosef HaTzaddik and taught him 70 languages.

* When Yosef HaTzaddik became ruler over Egypt, the daughters of kings would peek out of the lattices and pelt him with jewelry and rings so that he would look at them - but he did not look. Every day he saw daughters of kings - sometimes adorned, sometimes perfumed, sometimes unclothed - but he did not allow himself to be tempted.

* Because Yosef HaTzaddik did not give in and won the battle, he earned the title Yosef Hatzadik, Tzadik Yesod Alom.

* The rape of Dina bat Yaakov, a'h, by Sh'chem ben Chamor, produced Osnat, a'h. Yaakov Avinu gave Osnat a scarf with HaShem's holy name on it and sent her to live in Egypt. When Yosef HaTzadik became ruler of Egypt, Osnat threw the scarf on him and that's how he knew she was a Jewess. They married and from their union, Menashe and Efraim, zs'l, were born.

* When the Jews wanted to cross the Yam Suf (red sea), it refused to split until it saw the coffin of Yosef HaTzaddik.

* Rabeinu Yosef Chaim's (Ben Ish Chai , zs'l) soul was rooted in the soul of Yosef Hatzadik.

* Yosef Hatzadik's soul returned as one of the Asara Harugei Malchut (Ten Martyrs), (an incident which took place after the destruction of The Second Temple), Rabbi Yishmael Kohen Gadol, zs'l, was the reincarnation of Yosef Hatzadik.

* Gematria numberic value 217, same as אני יוסף, I'm Yosef, same gematria value Devorah דבורה (HaNevia, a'h). She was from Shevet Efraim and was Moshiach ben Yosef of her generation.

* Gaon of Vilna, zs'l, says that Esther HaMalka, a'h, descendant of Binyamin, zs'kl, was Moshiach ben Yosef of her generation.

* פותח את ידך ומשביע לכל חי רצון "You open Your hand, and satisfy every living thing according to their needs".
לכל חי רצון - Roshei Tevot RoCHel, all in the merit of Rochel Imenu, a'h.

* Moshiach ben Yosef is the secret of the Ox.

* “Yosef’s bones, which the children of Israel had brought up from Egypt, was buried in Shechem”. Why Shechem? R. Chama the son of R. Chanina, zs'l, taught, “From Shechem he was kidnapped him and so to Shechem his lost body must be returned.” (Sotah 13b)

* The city of Shechem, is the secret of Yosef, who corresponds to the sefirah Yesod. This is why Shechem was given to Yosef HaTzaddik [and his descendants) for his attribute is Yesod."

Yosef Hatzadik's Hillula is today Rosh Chodesh Aleph Tamuz (June 23, 2009).
May the merits of Yosef HaTzaddik protect us all, Amen.

The (non) secret message to American Jews to leave the USA immediately and come home.

Obama's Mission: Destruction

A MESSAGE FROM BINYAMIN GOLDEN

Barack Hussein Obama is a messenger sent from Heaven, and Hashem is causing him to do strange and illogical things which are almost foolish. However with much help from Heaven he achieved his role as the president of the United States and Hashem has put in him the will to rule the world. He is an evil messenger who will cause the destruction of most of the world [See Zechariah 13].

Obama wants to be a dictator over the USA and he is succeeding greatly. He is in control of at least 30% of the businesses in America. It is very interesting that he manages to do things that no other president would have dared to try. He can't even prove that he is American, and this is amazing. He has signed hundreds of laws since he came to the white house. No other president had ever managed to pass so many laws in such a short time and some of them are very, very strange as well as anti-democratic and anti-American.

Barack Hussain Obama is a combination of Edom, Yishmael and Amalak and he reached the presidency by open miracles. He supports all sorts of things that are forbidden not only to Jews but even to B’nei Noach.

He wants to rule America more like a king then a president. He came into the world as if he were the secular Messiah, the goyish Messiah who does not believe in anything even close to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. He believes he can save the world. It's unbelievable and supernatural that such a wicked and unintelligent man could advance as far as he did. It's a miracle [all of which shows that he was sent from Above since he did not arrive by normal, natural processes].

Lately he has revealed even more his true hatred for the state of Israel which is based upon his hatred for Jews. It is now becoming clear that he wants to destroy Israel, tear it apart, and he doesn’t care if the Arabs eliminate the Jews, chas vesholom. It doesn’t interest him one bit.

Pharaoh then and today...

Measure for Measure

France denounced PM Netanyahu's statement that Jerusalem would remain Israel's undivided capital for ever.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, "No one would think seriously about peace in the Middle East without giving the Palestinians a state they have been persevering for years. It is their legitimate right." Sarkozy added that the construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank should stop as it is an obstacle to peace.

One Week Later...
France Plane Lost - An Air France jet with 228 people on a flight to Paris vanished over the Atlantic Ocean.

Meanwhile in America...
Following American president’s meeting with PA Chairman Abu Mazen, America has increased pressure on Israel to lift the Gaza embargo along with other steps in line with supporting PA demands against Israel, including a total and unconditional cessation of construction in all “settlements” which includes areas of Yerushalayim in addition to Yehuda and Shomron.

America -- HaShem will judge your actions.

Zohar HaKadosh:
A nation will arise from one end of the world (Korea) against the wicked Romi (xtian nation; USA) and will war against them for 3 months. Other nations will join the war and will fall into their hands (the nation from end of the world), till all Edom will unite against this nation. Then HKB"H will 'arise' against them, as it says, "וטבח גדול בארץ אדום" A gigantic massacre in the land of Edom (USA/Europe).
זוהר ח"ב לב ע"א:יתער עמא חד מסייפי עלמא על רומי חייבא, ויגח בה קרבא תלת ירחין, ויתכנשון תמן עממיא ויפלון בידייהו, עד דיתכנשון כל בני אדום עלה מכל סייפי עלמא, וכדין יתער קודשא בריך הוא עלייהו, הדא הוא דכתיב (ישעיה לד ו) כי זבח ליהו"ה בבצרה וטבח גדול בארץ אדום וגו’.

(Prophet Ovadia's prophecy, zs'kl)
Because of Edom's arrogance it will eventually suffer humiliation, as Hashem will humble Edom. Eventually Edom's enemies will deceive her, plunder her and rob her. It will be trapped into going to war, which it will lose.

Edom's land will become desolate, because she opposed Jacob. Edom mistreats its brother nation, Israel.

Due to Edom's sins its ultimate punishment will be retribution. Edom will be repaid measure for measure for tormenting Israel.

Finally the Jewish nation will be redeemed. Israel's exiles will return and its' future borders will be restored. Hashem's Kingdom will be established forever.

Tzaddik Nistar Message to American Jews
"Although things change in Shamayim, the decree to leave the diaspora by Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5769 (May 24, 2009) has not been changed!"
