the light of 19 Adar Alef 5784 | אור י"ט אדר א' ה'תשפ"ד
This great, viral-worthy video has many positive comments on its YouTube page. I'm trying to keep this commentary as short as possible.
First of all, REPLACE UNRWA (petition started by Hillel Neuer of UN Watch; its first goal is long past. And yes, I did.).
The big question is: Who benefits from Israel's destruction? It would seem that in the end the answer is: No one. God won't let them. You don't have to believe me; see Jeremiah 30 with commentary.
Eylon's video with Hillel reveals why this issue of the constant opprobrium of Israel keeps on going, like a certain commercial rabbit playing a drum advertising batteries. We may have overlooked a very important observation, unspoken between the lines:
The United Nations (however you want to fill in what UN really means) has one purpose, and one purpose only: To drive the Jewish people out of Israel, and possibly worse.
The above would sound preposterous if UNRWA employees were not found to have actually been involved in the Simchat Torah Massacre last 7 October. For this, we thank Hillel Neuer and UN Watch. Not only has Mr. Neuer been responsible for this discovery, but he has been pointing out for decades that Israel is singled out by this prestigious forum for the most international and military crimes of ANY nation on earth, even if we were the offended party and not the ones who started all the wars and the violence involved.I don't need to repeat any list of nations that obviously deserve the pariah treatment and even worse, far, far more than Israel.
In any case, though, my rough estimate is that over 95% of all UN activities are nothing but window dressing. If the UN were serious about all countries following laws based on common decency, countries we could all identify would be lined up for miles and miles before Israel would even get to the door.
Unless we're told we don't have to be in that line any more, that is.
I doubt it, though, because we do have our own problems with our political system, which should never have been ours in the first place. But that discussion is for another article.
I believe, despite the seeming impossibility, that the "deus ex-machina" ending will come shortly. God will come and rescue us, but not with a machine, as used to be in Greek and Roman times. He will be QUITE REAL and the whole world will know it when it happens.

MK Galit Distel-Atbaryan, speaking to the Education Committee in Israel.

Yet another sign of life coming from our nation! This Knesset Member's words should be heard by every Jew, male or female, who has any doubt whether our religious sources have relevance to all of us for all times. Men may look elsewhere, but please don't refuse to listen! MK Distel blew my mind, that she would be able to express the depth and hollowness of the gap that was left to her (and to most secular Israelis). Israeli society MUST correct it, IMMEDIATELY!
I believe this is a very positive sign of Jews drawing closer to one another. It must not be ignored but, rather, celebrated. It is the key to our recovery (dare I say, resilience?) from the constant trauma that has beset us from long ago. And, who knows, Mashiah might actually come quickly.
