IDF, who are you???

 Light of 4 Tammuz 5785 | אור ד' תמוז ה'תשפ"ה

 

a beautiful song...may the hostages in Aza be freed from the Gazan prison!

This is about the incident in a place in a small Shomron place called Binyamin, that took place on EREV SHABBAT KORACH 5785: This past Friday night at this writing.  

A teenage civilian was shot in the shoulder in the chest (you can see how the different versions of the story go); a live bullet was found in his ribs — according to the hospital where he was taken for treatment — and the rest of his companions were threatened by the battalion commander (the IDF officer) in the Shomron. A summary of details, with links to full stories, will follow.

The father of one of the civilians (they're known as "hilltop youth" in the territory they live in) wrote this article, published on Israel National News. This is not the youth who was shot with live ammunition, not a rubber bullet. 

The police went to see him in the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) and decided not to interrogate him due to his medical condition.

Attorney Shimshilashvili revealed that contrary to IDF spokesperson claims that only sponge-tipped bullets were used, Hadassah Hospital issued an official statement confirming that a live bullet was discovered in the teen’s body. “The police understood that questioning a minor in such a condition was not feasible — and I commend them for that,” he added.  

Naturally, I have questions and observations from what I've read so far... 

Could this be in any way a modern-day version of Korah's argument with Moshe Rabbenu? Is Moshe any more deserving of running the people than Korah, his cousin?

Could the IDF be considered hero or criminal? Schizophrenic, perhaps? Could our soldiers be heroes in Gaza, and at the same time criminals in Yo"sh (Judea and Samaria, known locally as Yehuda and Shomron)?

Did an IDF battalion commander threaten to KILL the group of "hilltop youth" in the Shomron? The father of one of them has seen the videos and says they support the civilians' statements.

When this article calls IDF out to have committed criminal activity, it is not against Arabs, but against their fellow Jews. A stranger looking at this situation would think we'd be clearer on this since "OCTOBER SEVENTH." The people are, but our armed forces seem to be selective in their assessments and not to understand why the people would hold that their main job is to protect the Jewish population. Remember that the world presumes both Gaza and Yo"sh to be Arab territory and not Jewish. I say again, that those who believe that should throw out or burn their holy bibles and qurans! Not ours, not mine, but their very own. They clearly testify otherwise.

Many religious Jews believe that the IDF is the only part of the government system that has the capacity for good as well as evil; they call it klipa Noga (In Hebrew, Noga is Venus, the planet with the brightness of a star.). 

The rest of the system has become a promoter of evil, just like the rest of the world that openly hates Israel and Jews, and is only in place until Mashiah is revealed. This shows itself particularly with regard to territory that should be part of Israel unequivocally, but has not been enacted at least in the last thirty-five (35) years — since the 6-Day War is more like it, 58 years, to be exact. Especially since Aharon Barak, the former Chief Justice, brought the current corrupt practices to the Israeli justice system.

The main thing is that the mission of the Jewish People is clarified further, provided that the title question is asked and answered.

I'm still waiting for Honenu to post.  I'm working on a followup to this post that a friend is providing me.

613: The ultimate irony...

 17 Sivan 5785 | י"ז סיון ה'תשפ"ה

 

613* 

 ***UPDATE BELOW***

 ...is that today, the day we were alerted that Iran is attacking us, is FRIDAY THE 13TH.

Not only that, today's date, June 13, is numerically written as 6/13 (at least in the US). 

Remind anyone of anything? 

For many of the nations of the world, Friday the 13th is an inauspicious day. An unlucky day. (Other numbers are said to take on this role, for example some of the lands of the Far East have a different number. But, today I'm focusing on 13.)

For Jews, however, especially appreciated by those who speak Hebrew and are aware of gematria, 13 is a particularly auspicious day. Very positive words in Hebrew add up to 13:

Love — ahava — אהבה

One — echad — אחד

God (the unpronounced name) is double-13, or 26. יהוה

And yet another layer: 613 is the number of mitzvoth in the Torah. 
Whatever we can take on today, we should do now. Shabbat is upon us, for a start, even if we have to keep it in our shelters.

 

IRAN, YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD. 

YOU ARE ATTACKING GOD as well as the JEWS.

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.

Shabbat shalom umevorach to all the Jews of the world, and a great weekend to all the people who love God enough to love His people too.

*Thanks to a neighbor in my neighborhood for the heads-up about the 6 in 613. Another neighbor advises that the alternate way to write the date, 13/6, is also auspicious; it refers to the Hebrew words ביד חזקה (b'yad hazakah, with a strong hand...).  

***UPDATE***

24/6/2025/28 Sivan 5785: The peace declared today lacks, at least the following: 

  • Civilians were killed on 24 June (4 according to Israel HaYom, Jerusalem Post) in Beersheva while sleeping in their beds. We hadn't even buried them yet, nor found those buried under the rubble, whether in Beersheva whether dead or alive, just before the ceasefire. The point here is that, even though it was before the ceasefire was to start, THE VICTIMS WERE CIVILIANS. Only one of those killed in Beersheva was a soldier. The rest were CIVILIANS, in every sense of the word; to target them is a war crime!
  • WHERE ARE OUR HOSTAGES??? ARE THEY HOME YET??? President Trump, did you forget that HAMAS is a proxy of IRAN??? Did you forget that "October Seventh," still ongoing, is the responsibility of IRAN??? Considering that we are expected to have and maintain a full peace, don't you think this is an important thing to have resolved? If the US experienced anything like we Israelis did, would you expect a mediator to neglect the issue of your people trapped behind enemy lines?
  • DON'T FORGET BUSHEHR (see Bushehr phase 2 here). This is the one nuclear site that currently exists (that we know of) in Iran and is being prepared for use as I type. It seems to be closer to Israel than the other sites were, from what I could tell. Two more are coming, thanks to RUSSIA. Let's not forget them, either, and note where they are on the map when they are shown.

 *** 

We must not forget to put our trust ONLY IN GOD, and only give HIM credit for our victories, whenever and however they come. For the above reasons and more, I believe we're still not done with the Iranian shadow, and possibly other shadows, over us, the Jewish people.
