A LIFE-THREATENING DISEASE

A LIFE-THREATENING DISEASE

Like the beginning of every new year - and especially after the one just passed - we hope that the new year will bring to the world a change for the better. Tragically, one thing never changes….

It should come as no surprise that Jews are in the forefront of scientists and others dealing with the COVID-19 virus. To name a few: Mikael Dolsten is the Chief Scientific Officer at Pfizer; Albert Boria is the  Pfizer CEO; An Israeli, Tal Zaks is the Chief Medical Officer for Moderna ; Drew Weissman is one of the two scientists responsible for pioneering a breakthrough with the development of the mRNA vaccine used by both Moderna and Pfizer; Jeff Zients will be Joe Biden’s overseer for the entire CORONA response; Dr. Rochelle Walensky  is Biden’s new Head of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  

It also comes as no surprise that Jews  are being blamed for the latest pandemic, just as they were blamed for the Black Death in the fourteenth century. But the longest hatred began far earlier - at the most portentous execution in human history. The hatred born of the Gospels’ depiction of the crucifixion has risen again, violently.

Written over the course of almost a century after Jesus' death, only four gospels out of many different ones were canonized. Bart Ehrman, the distinguished professor of religious studies contends that the Gospels are riddled with “discrepancies, embellishments, made-up stories, and historical problems. The depiction of Jesus’ arrest and execution must be taken with a pound of salt.”

The problems with the Gospel’s account of a Sanhedrin trial were too numerous to count. The greatest New Testament scholar of the late twentieth century, found twenty-seven discrepancies between the Gospels’ accounts of the trial and rabbinical law.

The writers of the four Gospels have Jesus brought before the Sanhedrin on the first night of Passover, an absurdity which only a Gentile audience ignorant of Jewish law and custom could have credited.

The Gospel of Matthew adds the most implausible (and sinister) absurdity of all, the words “His blood be on us and our children.” These are the very words that have been invoked through the centuries to justify persecution of Jews. Not only by believing Christians, but by their secularized offspring who declared that “there is no God, and the Jews murdered him.”

GRANDMA'S ARMY AT WAR

  Six-and-a-haIf years ago I began to write a blog “Grandma’s Army”, as I had seven grandchildren serving in the army at the same time.   Little did I dream that today, that number would jump to seven + ten, Apart from two in the regular army, all the rest are in the Reserves. Both of my sons, who are over 60 years-old, are in army uniform again. They have volunteered to drive army trucks for transport purposes all over the country, after taking a special driving course. Since I began this blog, Azriel and his wife have returned to live in their home on the moshav. They had been evacuated since the beginning of the war, since their home is in the “Gaza envelope”. Azriel has four children and one son-in-law in the army since the beginning. His officer daughter, Adi was called up to the War room of the Gaza Brigade on the second day of the war: “When the first Givati ground forces of the regular army entered Gaza, I knew that my fiancé, Hillel, was amongst them serving a...

A DIABOLICAL STRATEGY

It’s a verified fact that Hamas has been planning the ongoing war with Israel for decades. Hamas knew that they could not beat Israel militarily.  They also knew that  Israel would retaliate very strongly after the massacre on October 7 th - and the kidnapping and abuse of 252 men, women, children and babies. Hamas spent almost twenty years preparing the Gaza Strip as a killing ground for Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians. The  massive network of tunnels spanned more kilometers than the London Underground and  New York metro combined!  By integrating their military operations throughout civilian infrastructure - these tunnels served as missile launchers and storehouses of lethal weapons underneath kindergartens, schools, hospitals, even mosques, etc. The IDF had no choice but to fight the terrorists from, or close to, residential and commercial areas. In all those years, Hamas deliberately prepared nothing to protect it’s own civilians. On the co...

He was on his way to volunteer at 11:00 a.m. on October 7 th , before his call-up papers arrived. His present service is connected to Intelligence activities and is not for   the public ear. Omer, from the Givati Battalion, also went straight to his army base on the 7 th of October, before his call-up papers arrived two days later. Givati forces are in charge of combatting terrorism in the Gaza Strip area His first assignment was as Deputy Commander of the Forward Command Squad. Because of chronic back problems, he was transferred to the Battalion’s War Room where he is part of a small team. He monitors orders between the Battalions and Brigades, deals with problems of the ground forces in his command, and records the day’s military activities.
