Mistranslating peaceful Rabbi Yosef – anti-religious Haaretz’s bigotry

Mistranslating peaceful Rabbi Yosef – anti-religious Haaretz’s bigotry


How anti-religious-Jews, the radical Haaretz has mistranslated [again] R. Ovadia Yosef when he spoke about Arab terrorists.


Haaretz in “translating” the speech, used the term: “haters of Israel” in an attempt to translate “Sonei Israel” which was always (even before the re-creation of the state of Israel) and is really Jew-haters or ‘haters of the people of Israel’ – referring to the Jewish people, not connected to the state of Israel – which misinformation portal Haaretz makes it so erroneously sound.


True, the above terminology is used by religious Jews, some ignorant secular Israelis tend to mistranslate it, but one would expect more from such a [sadly] well known and recognized media outlet.


Had Haaretz properly translated the original speech, it would come out clear that R. Yosef was referring exclusively to Jew haters among the Arabs, not all Arabs. As well as the proper context – his reference to murder and terror within that speech, the unfair generalization of Arabs would then be avoided, and subsequently the demonization of religious Jews.


The sad part is that international media outlets like the BBC relies so strongly on Haaretz, especially in its anti-Jewish rant, which is why neither Haaretz nor the BBC have published R. Ovada Yosef’s own declaration on the Arab press that he clearly meant only Arab terrorists and murderers, and had included by no mean ‘Arabs’ per se.


So far, neither the BBC nor Haaretz, had publish R. Yosef’s declared clarification.


It’s just another cheap, yet vile attempt by anti-religious radicals in an effort to “equalize” the sides in [supposed] extremism, (Haaretz, caught up in major anti-Israeli Arab propganda, is also champion in Israeli media, to pull out -so irresponsibly- the term “racism” out of its sleeves, a lot, so quick to define any discomfort from the lack of security stemming from Arab attacks targeting Jews as “racist”, yet, will still hesitate to define the racism-motivated Arab attackers, in that fully deserving term) while the sad uneven reality is that the radical Mullahs preaching annihilation of Jews and glorifying mass murder in ‘jihadism’ are paraded routinely on “moderate” media of Palestinian and other Arab mainstream outlet, just look them up on PalWatch and on Memri.



Rabbi Yosef clarified that his sermon was misquoted, that he was referring to annihilation of Arab terrorists and not of all Arab people, and caled upon his party to look for peace and security…

 הרב עובדיה מסביר בראיון, המובא כאן במלואו, שכאשר כינה את הערבים “נחשים”, “נמלים” והציע להשמידם, התכוון רק לטרוריסטים. הוא אומר עוד: “הוריתי למנהיגי מפלגתי לחתור לשלום ולביטחון”


(In an interview published in 2001 in London-based al-Sharq al-Awsat and Kuwaiti paper al-Watan, he said, “I deeply regret the human suffering caused to innocents, but the source of this should be pinned on the Palestinian leadership.)



Rabbi Ovadia Yosef clarified the Arab press the “speech snakes”


הראיון נערך לאחר מגעים ממושכים עם העיתונים. The interview was conducted after lengthy negotiations with the newspapers. הרב עובדיה מסביר בראיון, המובא כאן במלואו, שכאשר כינה את הערבים “נחשים”, “נמלים” והציע להשמידם, התכוון רק לטרוריסטים. Rabbi Ovadia explains in an interview, presented here in its entirety, when he called the Arabs “snakes”, “ants” and offered to destroy them, meant only to terrorists. הוא אומר עוד: “הוריתי למנהיגי מפלגתי לחתור לשלום ולביטחון” He says further: “I told the party leaders to seek peace and security”

פרסום ראשון: מנהיגה הרוחני של ש”ס הרב עובדיה יוסף העניק ראיון רחב היקף לעיתונות הערבית העולמית. הראיון התפרסם היום (ב’) בעיתון הלונדוני “א-שרק אל אווסט” ובעיתון “אל ווטן” הכוויתי. (לראיון המלא ראו קישור מימין) First Published: Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef gave an extensive interview in the international Arab press. The interview was published today (Monday) in the London [based] newspaper A – Sharq Al Awsat  and in the  Kuwaiti Al Watan. (Full interview, see link right)



הראיון נערך בשבוע שעבר, יומיים לפני רצח השר רחבעם זאבי. The interview was conducted last week, two days before the assassination of Minister Zeevi. עורכי העיתונים שלחו את שאלותיהם בפקס והרב עובדיה יוסף כתב את תשובותיו בכתב ידו, התשובות תורגמו, הודפסו ונשלחו אל מערכות העיתונים הערביים. Newspaper editors send their questions by fax and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef wrote his answers in his own handwriting, the answers were translated, printed and sent to Arab newspapers systems.


לריאיון הנדיר קדמו מגעים שנמשכו חודשים בין דובר תנועת ש”ס איציק סודרי לבין עורכי העיתונים עבדול רחמן אל רשיד ומוחמד אל ג’זים באמצעות צד The rare interview was preceded by negotiations that lasted months between Shas spokesman Itzik Sudri and newspaper editors Abdul Rahman Al Rashid and Mohammed Al-gill by side
 
שלישי. Tuesday. הרב עובדיה יוסף נתן את הסכמתו כבר בחודש ספטמבר, אולם פיגועי הטרור בבנייני התאומים דחו את ביצוע הראיון עד לשבוע שעבר. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef gave his consent already in September, but the World Trade Center terrorist attacks postponed the execution of the interview until last week.


בהנהגת ש”ס ראו חשיבות רבה בקיום הראיון וזאת בשל סדרת ההתבטאויות של הרב נגד ערבים בשנה האחרונה, התבטאויות שגררו איומים על חייו. בין היתר כינה הרב יוסף את הערבים “נחשים”, “נמלים” ואמר כי “צריך להשמיד אותם ולתת להם טילים על הכיף כיפאק” (ראו קישור מימין). Shas leadership saw the conducting of the interview of great importance due to the rabbi’s remarks series against Arabs in the past year, statements dragging death threats. Among other things, Rabbi Yosef called the Arabs “snakes”, “ants” and said that “We must destroy them.. “(see link right).


בראיון מסביר הרב יוסף שבדבריו אלו התכוון רק לטרוריסטים הערביים ולא לציבור הערבי כולו. In an interview with Rabbi Yosef explains his words are meant only to Arab terrorists and not to the entire Arab public. לדבריו, סולפו דבריו: “וכל מה שרציתי לומר הוא שהתכוונתי לאותם שפלים האחראים לשפיכת דמם של ישראלים ואחראים להתקפות שביצעו רוצחים מהשטחים הפלסטינים”. He said that his words were distorted: “all I wanted to say is that I referred to those  responsible for spilling the blood of Israelis and are responsible for attacks committed by killers from the Palestinian Territories.”


לדברי מנהיג ש”ס, כל ממשלות ישראל, כולל ממשלת שרון, רוצים להגיע להסכם עם הפלסטינים, “בתנאי שאלו יפסיקו את פעולות הטרור והשנאה”. עובדיה מוסיף: “הוריתי למנהיגי מפלגתי לחתור לשלום ולביטחון, גם אם הדבר כרוך בויתור על אדמות הכלולות בהבטחת אלוהים לבני ישראל”. According to the leader of Shas, all Israeli governments, including the Sharon government, want to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, “provided that these [Palestinians] end their terrorist acts and hate”. Ovadia adds, “I instructed party leaders to seek peace and security, even if it means relinquishing land included in God’s promises to the children of Israel. ”


מנהיג ש”ס מביע צער על כך שההנהגה הפלסטינית חסרה את האומץ להגיע לשלום עם ישראל. לדבריו, הדת היהודית מעדיפה את ערך האדם על פני כל דבר אחר, כי ליהדות ולאיסלאם היסטוריה מפוארת של חיים משותפים. Shas leader expresses regret that the Palestinian leadership lacks the courage to make peace with Israel. He said that the Jewish religion would prefer the human value over anything else, that Judaism and Islam glorious history of living together.


הרב סיפר בראיון כי חלק מהספרות היהודית נכתבה במדינות המוסלמיות במהלך תור הזהב של השפה והספרות הערבית. The Rabbi said in an interview that some Jewish literature written in Muslim countries during the golden age of Arabic language and literature. מנהיג ש”ס קרא לשיפור תנאי החיים של הערבים בישראל ואמר כי נתן הוראה ברוח זו לשרי ש”ס. Shas leader called for improving the living conditions of Arabs in Israel and said that this spirit has ordered Shas ministers.


בעקבות הריאיון צופים בש”ס שיתקיימו מגעים בין הרב עובדיה יוסף לבין מנהיגים דתיים איסלאמיים. Following the interview, expect to be held contacts between Shas Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and Islamic religious leaders.

Tips to posters on public forums fighting anti-Israel bigotry

June 23, 2010

Tips to posters on public forums fighting anti-Israel bigotry 


IMPOSTORS

* Arab, Muslim posters have been known for being impostors, posing as “Christians,” as “white Nazis,” even as “Jews.”

* True, there are some radicals in the west, that post against Israel, yet, the overwhelming majority of the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish posters, today, are Muslims.

* Anti-Israel posters –like anti-Israel bigoted “activists”– cover their intolerance-agenda by “worrying” about “poor Palestinians,” which in reality, no one could care.

PRO-PALESTINIAN IS A SHAM – ITS ANTI-ISRAEL

Don’t buy the “pro-Israel” face, its never about caring FOR Arab Palestinians, otherwise they would divert all the energy in helping them get out of their self-inflicted  misery, instead they try very hard to damn Israel in front of cameras and making anti Israel headlines in the media, it’s just easier to go against Israel in a frame of “pro Palestine activism.”

Real pro-Palestinianism is almost an extinct specie.

CASUALTIES

[BODY COUNT IS NOT ALWAYS TELLING WHO THE VICTIM IS]

* What would have happened if ‘mighty’ Israel’s army wouldn’t be so humane and careful about Arab civilian lives?  The question is not how many would die, but, How many would survive?

* What would happen if the Arab Muslims would be so successful military-wise, would there be an Israel? or how many God-forbid Jews would have perished in their ultimate genocide goal?

* If the Arab-Muslims (Palestinian or Hezbollah) hadn’t used their civilian population, would there still be “massacres,” as they like to call it?

* Who are the targets of the Arab-Muslims? Army personal, or predominantly unarmed Israeli men, women & children?

DAVID VS GOLIATH

* Did you get a chance to look at the N.E. map lately? who’s threatening whom? including the “misunderstood” genocidal Islamic president in Tehran seeking to wipe off map 7,000,000 ?

* Arab Palestinians possess a much more powerful weapon, Israelis don’t have, as Israeli soldiers’ hands are tied every time there’s a crowd of unarmed Arabs, the cynical terrorists surround themselves by.

DETECTING BIGOTRY LURKING BEHIND “INNOCENT CRITICISM”

Pay attention to those that in the habit of:

* Highlighting any rare abuse case by an Israeli policeman, more than in such cases when occurring in the west.

* Obsession about Israel, singling it out.

* Demonization of all of Israel, the entire state/society/nation.

“Seeing” women & children only on the Arab side and ‘seeing’ all of Israel as nothing but one big “tank.” [This dehumanization can be detected easily through the lines, of never admitting of Israeli suffering].

* The racism of labeling all Israel does as ‘racist.’ mainly, ignoring the real picture of Israel’s fight for survival – constantly.

* Simple, crude lies about Israel’s democratic system (albeit, this might be tricky, many are simply unaware and plain ignorant, in that case it might not be intentional).

RACISM?

* Unlike the scene of the Arab-Palestine side, Israel’s a cosmopolitan country, society, with colors, races raging from the whitest of whites to the darkest of blacks.

* Israelis, Jews or Arabs are equally subject to check points, security -saving lives, is what motivates Israel’s policy, always, though the frequency of ‘checkpoints’ on roads, are stricter and more scrutinizing in the Palestinian-Arab areas, where terrorism is more frequent.

* What motivates Arabs,Muslims to target Jewish civilians (excluding Arab Israelis) just for being Jews? Is it not Arab racism & Islamic bigotry?

* What were the excuses of the Arab-Muslims in 1929 Hebron massacre on the verge to ‘kill Jews.’ was it the “occupation” of almost 40 Years later?

* Can you point to me 25% of Arab Palestine to being non-Arab, as a parallel in pluralistic democratic Israel where its 25% Arab population have full rights?

Or any Jew is prohibited from residing in racist apartheid Jew-free Arab-Palestine?

* Point to me a group, organization equivalent of B’tzelem or any other Jewish Israeli human rights groups advocating on behalf of Arabs, Is there anyone on the 100% racist Arab side that cares about Jews?

RACE, ARAB RACISM & “SEMITES”

* If there’s such a thing as “race,” then, Arab Israelis and Arab-Palestinians are of the same “race.” Even Jimmy Carter (who used the “apartheid” slur in his book after he was paid by the Arab lobby) admitted on CNN (Larry King Live) that Israel is a free and equal democracy for Arabs & Jews alike.

* If Arabs are pure “Semites” can be disputed, however, anti-Semitism, historically was always referred to anti-Jewish bigotry, exclusively, [come to think of it, if Arabs are in fact "semites," then Zionism can never be "racism," the hypocrite racists Arabism can't have it both ways], in reality, racism is in one’s mind, as long as the Arabs see the Jews as a separate creed and hate it blindly, they are the true racists. Sorry, but they just can’t hide under “we are Semites” crap.

Virtually all minorities in the Arab world are effected one way or another (through violence, persecution or “plain” discrimination) from Arab racism, Kurds by Syria currently, by Iraq mainly under pan Arab racist: Saddam Hussein), Assyrians, pre-Arab invasion true indigenous Lebanese (Phoenicians), indigenous N. Africans (Berbers), Persians (Iranian), Blacks (in Sudan, Mauritania and in Arab countries), Copts (indigenous Egyptians), Jews, Asian maids (slaves – rather) in the gulf states, etc.

RELIGION AND THE BIGOTRY BY ISLAMISTS

* Israeli society is not religious, most IDF soldiers are secular, Israel’s policy is monitored by security issues and realism only.

Arab-Palestine society is by in large religiously Muslim. So is the “conflict” from their point of view. The “Allah u Akbar” when (attempting in) massacring Jews is a Muslim thing, of course.

In fact, Jews are hardly the only ones, fallen prey to the religious intolerance by Muslims, virtually all non-Muslims in the Muslim world, and many, even beyond, have been effected (more noticeably, Christians in the middle east and in Asia, non-Muslim Chinese in Indonesia, Hindus in India, Buddhists in S. Thailand, and Bahai in Iran) either by direct terror violence, expantionist Jihadism, religious fanaticism and any part of Islamists’ attempts in their Islamicizing the globe [by any means necessary] goal.

A tiny note, in Judaism, there’s no call to convert anyone to Judaism, tolerant Judaism says you don’t have to be a Jew in order to enter heaven. (see: Noahide laws).

Sorry, but ‘all religious extremism’ today are NOT all alike.

* The most extremist Zionist will only reach its “peak” to an attitude of asking Arab Palestinians who won’t accept Israel’s state and rule, to just leave the area towards Jordan (which was the original Transjordan-Palestine idea, to grant the Arabs, this idea by the very tiny minority among radicals is also known as “transfer”), nothing resembling that total genocide aim by their Islamic counterparts.

* A 2007 poll of Palestinians, where 75% don’t “give” Israel a right to exist, speaks volume of the radicalism in mainstream Arab-Palestine VS Israelis that by-in-large are even willing to go the extra mile and give the Arabs another state, a new one, which never existed before in history, an ‘Arab-Palestine,’ on top of the already 22 Arab states.

Try to conduct a poll about Jews in any moderate Arab country (as a matter of fact, a few years back, PEW’s finding about attitudes towards Jews in such an Arab country like Jordan, showed 100% negative) or street, you might already guess what you’re about to find out about mainstream Arab-Muslim bigotry.

Also, that despicable diabolic Islamic mythology of dehumanization of non-Muslims, like: ‘Christians are pigs and Jews are apes,’ [often shown in Palestinian media, and Mosques and in Saudi Arabian schools] is exclusively that, Islamic.

IT DIDN’T START IN 1948

The usual Palestine-song is “all was fine until the (re)establishment of Israel in 1948′

Fact: Arabs, Muslims have been attacking the Jews of Palestine in 1834 (Safed, many indigenous Jews – victims of a massacre & mass rape campaign of 33 days), 1920 (Jerusalem, and other locations), 1929 (Hebron massacre), 1939 (Tiberias), etc.

CAUSE = INTOLERANCE

It [historic perspective] matters, because the root cause was never about land, but about intolerance. Though the slogans sometimes change, according to the conditions, providing any “updated” excuses.

The Satanic Arab-Muslim theme running through their childhood education and inspirational religious icons are along the lines of: “Jews are not humans,” and ‘Kill a Jew – go to heaven’ doesn’t exist in the Jewish education system.

INDIGENOUS “PALESTINIANS” FROM… ARABIA, SYRIA & EGYPT

Prompted by that racist Arab Helen Thomas’ outburst of calling to an ethnic cleansing of Jews (June, 2010), we should all remember and remind everyone else, to the true origin of Palestinian Arabs, who were (previously) either called Arabs or S. Syrians, where their majority’s roots are from, some have migrated from Egypt, S. Arabia and other regional Arabian zones.

The two major differences between both immigrations are, 1) The Jewish immigration was highlighted, scrutinized and restricted by the British, while the Arab migration was allowed to flow and not even recorded so frequently. (It might have been a result of attempting to appease the Arab population).

2) [Unlike Arab relatively new history in the area] There was always a Jewish presence in the area, it is a well known fact that some Jews in Pekiin (for example) have stayed for all the generations, dating back 2,000 years, to the destruction of the second Jewish temple by the Romans who changed the name Israel to “Palestine.”

Don’t be fooled by such ideas like: color, as Arab Palestinians are “brown” so they must be from there… and yes, over 50% of Israeli Jews are of “brown” color as well.


A note about posters “inspired” by Nazi-hate sites.

1) FACTS?

Yes, we have all seen the crappy “facts” the “jew watchers” haters put up, never highlighting what Jews by-in-large help around the world in an over-representative way, like over 2/3 of their donations are to non-Jewish causes, or doctors without borders, helping the homeless, feeding the poor, or in any humanitarian cause where the Jewish minority in the world is so PROMINANT and over represented, but they will highlight ONE (out of thousands, or even in a larger ratio) dubious obscure “story” [true or false] of a person, that may, or may not be connected to a “jewish” origin, Well, that’s what hate is for.

2) INFERIOR ARAB RACE & NAZIS
The amazing thing is how such low life losers-Muslims are involeved in the “white nazi oroginated” supremacy sites, as we all know how Hitler has regarded the Arabs as a inferior race almost as LOW as the Jews, he saw them as half apes… he only managed to use the Arab Muslim nazi Mufti in his war against the Jews, but he would have burned them all in the oven, after that… of course.

3) NON-JEWISH COMMUNISTS & WHITE CHRISTIAN JOSEPH STALIN
Most of the communist were non Jews, but why not blame anything you can think of on the MINORITY Jews? While the awful truth is, the butcher of those so many Christians, Joseph Stalin was rather a white Christian who studied to be a PRIEST, he especially persecuted the Jews, very much so.

4) FAKE QUOTES
They also like to repeatedly quote the FAKE (or out-of-context) “quotes” of the Talmud (already exposed many times over), when they will NEVER quote the real peaceful humanitarian quotes of the Talmud.
Nevermind that most Israelis are secular, so is the army and most don’t even know what the Talmud says.

5) ARAB CONTROL ON MEDIA & ON U.N.
…Not only are the majority of Jews in the media anti-Israel critics… (remind me again on who’s side are CNN journalists or a tycoon like Joe Soros?) but the owners of mainstream media is controlled by such Arab Muslim billionaires as Saudi Bin Talal, checkout how much he owns of the elephant CNN or evn of Foxnews…

That’s besides the very “original” pure own Arab media flooding the west like Al Jazeera…

Or BBC? They have admitted openly (a few years back) of being anti-Israel biased, so much for “control in the media.”

The case of total ARAB MUSLIM CONTROL in amnesty and in the UN (aided in part by the international Arab oil lobby power), is far worse, which “exlains” the obssessive senseless almost boring “condemnations.”

Humane – Jewish – Charity and Giving for All

January 7, 2010

Jewish Donations to Humanitarian Causes
According to research conducted by the non-profit Institute for Jewish and Community Research, 25 percent of the largest donations that are received by educational institutions are from Jewish donors. More than 70 percent of grants that Jewish foundations make for humanitarian needs go to non-Jewish causes. Tzedakah as a Jewish ethical and religious principle has a profound effect not only on the survival and success of Jewish charities, but upon the health of North American humanitarian causes in general.

So many benevolent Jews lose so much money to one twisted [Madoff] guy and anti

December 26, 2008

 

So many benevolent Jews lose so much money to one twisted [Madoff] guy and anti
Jewish bigots applause.

Worth mentioning –at this juncture– the unknown fact that ‘most donations
by Jews go to non-Jewish causes.’

Then again, what is classic garbage of anti-Semitism if not picking one
‘bad’ Jew and omitting all ‘good’ Jews?


The very first self proclaimed “writer” to dance the evil dance was no
other than the already infamous Nazi: HERR Jöran Jerma, that has adapted
(among a list of names like ‘Adam Ermash’, also a) “Hebrew” name: Israel
Shamir.

 

This awful human being couldn’t wait and not cede the opportunity and
provide “antisemitic wisdom for the perplexed”…, it’s worth mentioning 
that for years, this “aryan-writer” has been posing as a “pro-palestinian
advocate”, decrying how “poor palestinians suffer”, imagine such a
white-supremacist telling us how he “aches” for brown Arabs, actually, this
tactic of damning the Jews (who are trying to survive against terrorism and
genocide) with a mask of caring for palestinians have been used by KKK’s D. Duke
too…

 




Websites carrying his “work” are:  (KKK’s) David Duke, Rense, some
other “white power” or “white powder” pages.

 

Because they are jealous of Jews’ special morals and kindness…

Only one-tenth of Jewish philanthropists limit their giving to Jewish
charities alone, while one-fourth give only to non-Jewish causes.
. – Why Aren’t Jews Giving to Jews? Jewish philanthropic donations to the secular community are outweighing those going to the Jewish community. Poll: Richest U.S. Jews give mostly to non-Jewish causes

Israel Shamir (AKA: Adam Ermash, Jöran Jermas), a diabolical Nazi, posing as an “Israeli writer”

Israel Shamir is an infamous (non Jew) Nazi who resided in Israel for a short time and preaches hatred and LIES.

Any wonder he appears on all hate – grabage sites like KKK’s davidduke, [Hitleristic and 'idol worshippers of A. Hitler' pages:] vanguard, stormfront, zundel, philipweiss, comeandhear, humanbeingsfirst, adelaideinstitute, nationalsocialistworkersparty, christianparty, biblebelievers, revisionisthistory, jewishtribal, and other nazis’ sites (or Islamic militant’s radioislam)?

AKA: Adam Ermash, Jöran Jermas.

Israel Shamir presents himself on his website as a leading Russian-Israeli intellectual and a writer, translator and journalist. But in 2001 he changed his name to Jöran Jermas and has surrounded himself in Sweden and Norway … (An empty bag cannot stand) and was published by the openly nazi publisher Nordiska Förlaget.

I make no comment here on the rights and wrongs of the Israeli-Arab conflict, or the appalling historical episode of which Mrs Allaf writes; I merely refer you to the source whose judgement Mrs Allaf proffers. “Israel Shamir” is the nom de plume of a writer whose real name is Jöran Jermas. So far from being, as he claims, a leading Israeli intellectual and translator, Shamir is of Russian origin, and has lived in Sweden for the past 20 years. His writings, which are widely circulated on the Internet, are unambiguously antisemitic.

Israel Shamir, the “Israeli-Jewish” enemy of Zionism (and now of Judaism too) has a secret identity which he won’t deny or speak about. He just smears his critics. Here is photgraphic evidence that Shamir, the darling of White Supremacists… and other racists is a Swedish bloke called Joram Jermas.

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/04/309818.html

responses to racism and antisemitism…
In early February, the extreme left-wing party Rød Valgallianse (Red Electoral Alliance − RV) demanded that one of its local politicians, the teacher Hans Olav Brendberg, withdraw from the party due to numerous antisemitic statements he had made on the Norwegian Internet discussion forum KK-forum and to his close ties with Israeli anti-Zionist Israel Shamir.
http://www.tau.ac.il/Anti-Semitism/asw2004/norway.htm

Shamir also once tried to sell Nazi memorabilia to David Irving, a famous British Holocaust denier. Even Palestinian activists Ali Abunimah (who has his own pro-Palestinian website) and Hussein Ibish have denounced Shamir as an anti-Semite.
http://media.www.mcgilltribune.com/media/storage/paper234/news/2001/11/26/Oped/Stop-The.Press-151236-page2.shtml

Israel Shamir… is a fringe character who apparently once tried to enter into a business arrangement for the sale of Nazi memorabilia with the notorious British Holocaust denier David Irving. Irving’s web site includes his very curious correspondence with Shamir, and there is independent confirmation that Shamir was indeed involved in such schemes. (London Times, September 1, 1998; Evening News (Edinburgh), September 1, 1998)
If that were not enough, Shamir, who usually adopts a left wing persona for his harangues against Israel, has also written for extreme right-wing periodicals in Russia under the name Robert David, even denouncing Andre Sakharov as a “Zionist agent.” Thus, according to the late Israeli Sovietologist Mikhail Agursky, a right wing Russian journal known as Politika featured an article:
.. written by one Robert David denouncing [Andre] Sakharov. The article is full of allegations that Sakharov was a harmful Zionist agent. Robert David is presented as an “Israeli”. His identity is well known. As Israel Shamir (Shmerling), he came to Israel in the late 1960s from Novosibirsk and soon became an extreme leftist.
.. Shamir now lives in Moscow under the name Robert David; and, under his own name, he now loses no opportunity to claim that Zionists are the worst enemy of the Russian people, and to call Russian liberals Zionist agents.. He glorified Saddam Hussein and indirectly calls for the destruction of the State of Israel.
.. Shamir is not only in open friendly relations with Iraq and Arab terrorist organizations, but also actively participates in the campaign to delegitimize Israel. (Jerusalem Post, August 15, 1991)
http://camera.org/index.asp?x_context=8&x_nameinnews=92&x_article=154

It’s not the first time Israel Shamir has been promoted by an extremist self-styled “traditionalist” Catholic. Back in July we had noted E. Michael Jones’ “Culture Wars’ Troubling Praise of Israel Shamir” (Fringewatch July 3, 2006) and Shamir’s own controversial reputation among the left. Apparently once a darling of the Palestinian cause, his anti-semitism proved so toxic that he was deemed a public relations disaster and eventually disowned by his comrades (See Nigel Parry’s The Israel Shamir Case and Roland Rance’s Israel Shamir: Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?, from the Socialist Viewpoint). One might get a sense of Shamir’s worldview by his conclusion from his recent essay that:
Armed with Schmitt’s thesis and Bauer’s testimony, we may conclude: “the ‘liberal democracy and human rights’ doctrine carried by the US marines across the Tigris and the Oxus is a form of secularised Judaism. Considering the predominance of Jews…
Shamir’s writings are similar to that of other anti-semites: society’s ills perceived through the lens of a global Zionist conspiracy, “Talmudic” (or in some cases, secular) Judaism set against Christian civilization.

Some True Quotes from the Holy Talmud


By Michael Gruda: mgruda@netvision.net.il

The following brief list of quotations from Talmudic literature clarify the attitude of the sages to non-Jews. Many more examples can be adduced but this short list should be sufficient for the purposes of this article.




1. “They said of Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai that no man ever greeted him first, even idol worshippers in the market” [i.e., Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai was the first to greet every person, even idol worshippers] (Berachot 17).

At the same location the sage Abaye advocated soft speech and words of peace to everyone, especially including idol worshippers.

2. “[it is proper to] support the idol worshippers during the sabbatical year …. and to inquire after their welfare [commentators: even on the days of the holidays of their idols, even if they do not keep the seven Noahide commandments] because of the ways of peace.” (Shevi’it 4,3)

3. The rabbis taught: ‘We support poor Gentiles with the poor people of Israel, and we visit sick Gentiles as well as the sick of Israel and we bury the dead of the Gentiles as well as the dead of Israel, because of the ways of peace.” (Gitin 61a)

4. The Talmud contains many references to righteous gentiles whose behaviour is held up as a model for all people. The example of Dama ben Netina is known to all Jewish children (Kidushin 31a):

‘They asked R. Eliezer how far one should go in honoring parents. He said to them: Go and see how one idol worshipper in Ashdod honored his father, and Dama ben Netina was his name. The sages wished to purchase gems from him for the Ephod [for a tremendous profit] … but the key [to the box containing the gems] was under his father’s pillow [while his father was sleeping] and he did not trouble his father [by waking him even though he gave up a tremendous profit].’ Dama was rewarded for his virtue the next year when a red heifer [required for the Temple service] was born in his flock. When he sold it to the sages he told them that he knew that they would pay any price he asked for it, but he asked only for the amount he had not earned the previous year when he refrained from waking his father.

5. Another example of righteous gentiles whose behaviour is held up as a model is to be found in the story of the King of Katsia and his subjects.

One of his subjects purchased a ruin from his neighbor and found a treasure in it. He insisted on giving it back to his neighbor, claiming he had purchased only the ruin, and not a treasure. His neighbor refused to take it, insisting that he had sold the ruin and everything in it. The two litigants came to the King to decide the issue. When the King discovered that one neighbor had a son and the other one had a daughter he ruled that the children should marry and share the treasure. It is related that Alexander of Macedonia saw this judgement and was amazed by it. He told the King of Katsia that in his country the two neighbors would be executed (since in his land found treasure had to be delivered to the King at the pain of death). The King of Katsia is reported to have asked Alexander if the rain fell and the sun shone and if there were animals in the land of Alexander. When Alexander answered affirmatively the King of Katsia told him that the sun shone and the rain fell in the merit of the animals, not the people of his land. (Gen R 33 – further sources are referenced at this location).

6. Baba Kama 38a: “But we learned: R. Meir says – whence do we learn that a gentile who is occupied in the Torah [the reference is to those commandments which apply to gentiles] is like the High Priest? As it says [a proof text is given]….”

7. Kidushin 32 contains descriptions of the manner in which our sages honored and respected the elderly. The passage specifically refers to elderly gentiles who were honored in various fashions by the sages.

8. In TY Baba Metzia there are a number of descriptions of sages going out of their way to return lost objects to gentiles (Elu Metziot).

9. Avot 3,14: “He [Rabbi Akiva] was accustomed to say: Beloved is man [commentators: the reference is to all mankind], for he was created in G-d’s image ..”

10. Tosefta BK 10,8: “.. it is more grievous to steal from a gentile because of the desecration of G-d’s name ..”

11. Tosefta BM 2,11: “.. one who sees a lost donkey of an idol worshipper must take care of it exactly the way he takes care of the lost donkey of an Israelite ..”

12. At Avoda Zara 18a the Talmud relates the remarkable story of how a Roman guard of one of the sages who was brutally murdered by the Romans repented. It was made known to the sages that the guard and the sage were welcomed to the World to Come together.

13. At Hullin 7a there is a report of how the sage Pinchas ben Yair miraculously split a river in order to speed his way to carry out the commandment to redeem captives. He went out of his way to split the river again in order to allow a gentile who was accompanying his group to also cross the river to speed his way.

This approach characterized sages throughout all generations. Some examples have been quoted in the earlier parts of this article. Two further examples of interest follow. Many more appear in the literature.

14. Maimonides (over 800 years ago) in Laws of the Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, Chapter 13, Halacha 13, writes .. “and not only the Tribe of Levy [merits special closeness to G-d] but every single person of those who walk the earth who … walks straight in the manner G-d created him … behold this person is sanctified as the Holy of Holies and [he will receive his reward in the World to Come] as the Priests and Levites.”

15. Tiferet Yisrael (Boaz) (approximately 150 years ago) on Avot 3,14 writes, ” … even if our sages had not explicitly taught [that righteous Gentiles have a place in the World to Come as we learn in Sanhedrin 105 and Maimonides Chapter 8 of the Laws of Kings] we would have understood this ourselves since G-d is righteous in all His ways … and we see many of the righteous Gentiles who not only recognize the Creator and believe in the divine origin of the Torah and also act charitably … we will say something which is a commandment to publicize … for behold, some of the them have done tremendous good for all mankind, such as Yenner who invented the … which saves tens of thousands of people from disease and death and deformities … and Draka (?) who brought the potato to Europe thus saving [people] from hunger … and Gutenberg who invented the printing press, and
some who never received any reward in this world such as the righteous Reuchlin who risked his life [to prevent the burning of the Talmud] … Can anyone imagine that these great deeds are not repaid in the World to Come? ..”

Never expose yourself unnecessarily to danger; a miracle may not save you…and if it does, it will be deducted from your share of luck or merit. The Talmud

‘An Eye for an Eye’ Literally? Not according to the Holy Talmud!


One of the most (Characteristic) noticeable of the Need of Talmud’s interoperation of the Bible -Old Testament, is probably the commonly misconception about the Bible’s text: ‘An eye for an Eye’, it might be very surprising for so many to hear that the Holy Talmud explains that it does not mean –at all– ‘taking someone’s eye out as a ‘retaliation’ or ‘punishment,’ but rather merely a (high) penalty in monetary payments.




FACTS!

The Talmud puts a high emphasis on honoring other human being, Jew or
Non Jew
,
‘KeVod HaBryot,’ furthermore, the Sages of the Talmud have publicized, revered, the great morals every time they encountered distinguished merits by other human beings,
non Jews

, and even adopted them as guiding features.

While it is true that all religions do pride themselves as being better than ‘the other’, haters-supremacists can not ‘justify their evilness by lying on the Holy Talmud’ that actually preaches to love every CREATURE, not just mankind. (Ahavat HaBriot).

Jews are not just a race, but a religion, anyone: Black, German, Arab, Indian, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginals, (you name it) etc. can be a Jew.

The term “Jews” refers to all of the children of ancient Israel, as we found already in the book of Esther.

The Sages of the Holy Talmud, when noticing a Woman’s great morality, adapts it immediately and documents it for generations to come, thus becoming part of Torah’s writing. Bruria.

Contrary to other mono ethical religions, Judaism does NOT require one to be Jewish in order to fulfill his duty, or to enter into Paradise, Good News from Judaism… You don’t have to become Jewish to go to Heaven but complying the 7 Noahide Laws, is suffice for non Jews.

Jews are not to proselytize others, [Why Should there be any attack against Jews who merely do not want to change their origins, roots and religion?]. unless approached persistently.

From Talmud,
Avot:

Be among the disciples of Aaron:
Love peace and pursue peace;
Love all fellow creatures,
And bring them near to the Torah.
- ”Hillel




Translation note (1:12): This begins: “Hillel and Shamai received from them. Hillel said …”.


“Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.”

 

“Join the company of lions rather than assume the lead among foxes.”

 


“Receive – Embrace All Human Beings with Cheer and Joy.” Talmud – Avot  

 


Avot d’Rabbi N. (33:4) teaches: “If a person gives his friend all the gifts in the world with a sour face, he has given him nothing. But one who receives his friend with a cheerful face, even if he has given him nothing else, has given him the greatest gift in the world.” Talmud – Avot R.N. (33)
 



Civility is, indeed, a Torah value. Derakheha darkhei no’am: pleasantness is the hallmark of the path of Torah Judaism. Hevei mekabel et kol ha-adam be-sever panim yafot: greet each person with a pleasant demeanor. De-alakh sani le-chaverakh la ta’avid: do not do unto others that which you dislike.

The Jews are (and obliged to be) Compassionate, Humble and Charitalbe. –  
The children of Israel share three traits: they are “bayshanim,” modest, “rachmanim,” merciful, and “gomlei chasadim,” doers of acts of kindness and generosity. By giving willingly, lovingly, the giver provides a sign that he is part of this nation.

“Say little and Do Much.” Talmud – Avot 1

Israeli-Azerbaijani commission to investigate murder of Mountain Jews in Azerbaijan in 1918 by Armenians, April 21 Siren is heard in Israel on this day and people commemorate 6,000,000 of their compatriots, who were brutally killed just because they were Jews

October 18, 2008

Lev Spievak: “I suppose that the Israeli-Azerbaijani commission to investigate murder of Mountain Jews in Azerbaijan in 1918 by Armenians will be created in 2009″

02 October 2008 [10:54] – Today.Az

The translation of the book “March of death” by Azerbaijani professor Rovshan Mustfayev about the crimes, committed by Armenians against Jews into English and Hebrew sheds light on the still little studied issue – the crime of Armenian nationalists against Jews, said director of the Institute “JC public relations research” Lev Spievak in his interview to Day.Az.

“As is known, the memory of victims of the disaster of the European Jews is an integral part of the Jewish self-consciousness in Israel”, said he.

According to him, the country marks the day of state commemoration of the victims of Holocaust every year on April 21.

Siren is heard in Israel on this day and people commemorate 6,000,000 of their compatriots, who were brutally killed just because they were Jews. The biggest memorial complex of Israel is a museum of the victims of Holocaust “Yad-va-shem”, which is also the institute of the history of disaster and holds the complete information about this terrible tragedy for the next generations.

In this connection the scientific and historical importance of the said work is great. This is an influential name in the international scientific circles. “March of death” views the previously studied historical events under a completely new angle”.

He noted that Alexey Pisman, Israeli historical and sociological scientist, described the importance of this scientific work the most exactly in the introduction to the English-Hebrew edition of the “March of Death”:

“On the basis of this book by professor Mustafayev, we see the undoubtedly new scientific consideration and exposure of the global Armenian system of falsifications and lies, including in the attempts to join the genocide of Jews as people, who suffered equally, though facts prove the contrary – Armenians themselves incited and participated in committing the genocide of Jews, both historically and in the mid 20th century

The books, like “March of Death” must be introduced to a wide circle of scientists, public activists, simply members of the society to resist the flow of lie and falsifications of history, which the Armenian historical science has been engaged in for years”.

According to Spievak, the proposal to create the joint Israeli-Azerbaijani commission to investigate murder of Mountain Jews of Azerbaijan by Armenians in 1918 was made at the presentation of the Russian edition of “March of Death” in Israel.

“This project is put off due to the preparations for presidential elections in Azerbaijan on the one hand and internal political events in Israel due to the upcoming municipal elections on the other hand. I suppose that the Israeli-Azerbaijani commission to investigate murder of Mountain Jews in Azerbaijan in 1918 by Armenians will be created in 2009. The commission is proposed to include famous Azerbaijani and Israeli historians and anthropologists. This is a normal process.

As for the upcoming presidential elections in Azerbaijan, his answer was laconic: “Ilham Aliyev is an extremely political personality and he can be considered the leader of the whole South Caucasus”.
