In Hebrew, Latin, I presume Greek, the word for breath and spirit is the same. Spiritus in Latin and ruach in Hebrew which is what HaShem breathes into Adam to make him live, and keeps him alive every moment of his life.

How long can a person go without food? Days. How long without water? Likewise more than a day or three?

But breath? Air? Pearl divers can submerge for some minutes but they are the exception to the rule. G-d keeps us alive every minute with His breath.

And a people without G-d will not survive.

What is going on?

…Yeah, there seems to a serious concern in Jerusalem that in the works in the nasty head of the enemy agent in the Oval Office is a plan to force upon us what Samantha Power alludes to in the link posted on this webcast.

Yesterday in a speech delivered by Minister Yuval Steinitz at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, he forcefully expressed opposition to, according to the headline in JPost this morning, an international force as part of any peace deal. In other words, the very idea expressed by Power in this video clip of 11 years ago in which she entertained the idea of driving the IDF out of Judea and Samaria to be replaced by another military force.

Steinitz was quoted saying he would “vehemently oppose any deployment of international force to replace the IDF. And why would he say that yesterday if not for intelligence coming his way suggesting such a plan is in the works?…

But dreams die hard, and such as Livni and Kerry remain enslaved to the belief that there are really Balestinians out there just like us Jews who want a cute little state for their stateless brethren – when statehood is the last thing these Arabs want.

They were offered more or less the same two- state solution in July 1937 by the Brits, the Peel Commission recommendations. A decade later in 1947 the UN General Assembly also offered them more or less the same deal. Again they said, “No thanks.”

How long, O Lord, how long, before such as Livni and Israel’s Left open their eyes and surrender their ignorant really perception of our Hamitic neighbors?

I am afraid the Two-State Solution is no solution. The only one that will work is the Moshiach Solution…

Yair Lapid got his way and held a press conference to gloat, and in another apostrophe to a hypothetical Haredi youth he tried to persuade him that his rabbis were just trying to scare him, for this bill can only help by leading toward his absorption into Israeli society. Lapid said, “What is happening is not an attack on the Torah. We do not intend – God forbid – to force upon him secularism or our version of how to be an Israeli.”

And again, as observed last webcast, Lapid most certainly does have in mind Israeliness at the center of his identity. Like the liar Obama, he certainly does, like his father, yearn to see Haredim abandon Jewishness in favor of Israeliness…

To “revitalize”? That connotes restoring it to a former and healthier condition, which is simply detached from reality. How can you revitalize something that was never vital?

I remember Judea and Samaria right after the Six-Day War. Wretched is not too strong a word. I remember the few and crummy roads, the mean villages. I remember Jerusalem after 19 years of Jordanian rule with three stop traffic lights, alleyways where people along open sewers. No street lights. What is Kerry talking about?…

In all honesty I tried to read what he said at the National Defense University but I confess I couldn’t. Because I do not believe a word this man speaks.

Analysts who do take him seriously found his words unreal. His claim that the terror threat is now lower than before 9-11 was, as Steve Emerson said, a “total fabrication.” Newt Gingrich found his words ‘stunningly, breathtakingly naïve.”

Well, that is again where I part company with the otherwise highly intelligent Gingrich. I don’t think he is naïve. I have never thought he ever sincerely said anything. He is an empty suit with a sinister agenda.

I hope he is nailed for the dereliction of duty over Benghazi and removed from office for this alone…

Last week the famous Ancient Palestinian peace processor Saeb Erekat addressed the UN and whined about the apartheid here. Two years ago I had a medical problem which resulted in a 24-hour stay at Hadassah Ein Kerem, mostly for tests, and I was examined by Jewish doctors and Arab doctors, and served by Jewish and Arab male and female nurses, and spent the night in a room with three other men, two of us Israelites, two of us Ishmaelites. What in the name of sanity is this scheisekopf Erekat talking about?…

To be fair, there are voices here who have seen the classic blood libel at work here, but rarely do they belong to the secular elite…

…Anyway, the foregoing has been largely the fruit of today’s nerve-wracking news. Scenarios of flights of missiles targeting our cities and airfields and naval patrol boats.

It is not pleasant to wake to the morning’s first news with threats of missiles on Tel-Aviv made by Sultan Bashaar in Damascus if Israel again strikes a fourth time. The first three were on an arsenal of missiles, and a convoy of missiles, and chemical plant.

Israel has laid down its marker that Hezbollah will not take possession of these advanced missiles, and Assad has to respond at some point.

Israel in turn, it is rumored in the news. has countered that threat with its own to liquidate altogether the Assad regime if he does that.

With Putin and Russians making their own threats because they are determined not to see him go down.

Not a pleasant day, news-wise here today…

…Yeah, there is an abyss separating civilization as we know it in the Judeo-Christian West and the world of Islam as we know it in Araby, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Iraq, where the bombs never stop going off, and of course Turkey, where, while there are no bombs going off, for sure the despot at the top who met today in Washington with his pal in admiration of Islam, named for the second martyr in Islamic history, Hussein ibn Ali, remains a fervent Muslim and Jew-hater who is dragging his country back into the universe of Islam which for 80 years since Ataturk had been suppressed.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama’s best advisor on the Middle East, has locked up more journalists than any country in the world. 20% of the generals in the army that used to preserve democracy are also in prison. He is Obama’s most trusted advisor on the Middle East and as Efraim Inbar of the BESA think-tank says, he is a full-blooded antisemite.

I hope Obama does not survive the cascades of scandals dominating the news…

And there you have it. Crusading Islam in a nutshell: 1-He beats his woman 2-He talks insane nonsense 3-He hates America.

And this is the religion of the fan of Islam in the Oval Office.

HaShem yirakhem/G-d have mercy...

Dershowitz writes as if the Oslo years, the Handshake on the White House Lawn, never happened. That was truly a major effort at trading land for peace with the Balestinians, but it failed. Failed big time, Alan, but you seem not to have noticed or learned from the experience.

Dershowitz writes as if those horrendous explosions here did not lead sober people to declare the initiative a bust, big time. It got so bad on Pesach 2002, when a dining-room full of old Jews were obliterated in an explosion so powerful it left no bodies to bury, only gore and splatter to vacuum up, after which Prime Minister Sharon ordered the army of Israel to take back all the land we traded for peace, Alan. But you want to try it again?…

Not only should this imposter be removed from office, he belongs in prison for his anti-American polices and behavior. The country has been bloodied again and again by Muslims over the last half-century, since the late 1960s, and he is a president in full denial of the reality that there are Muslims out the who hate America religiously, Islamically, and are supported by Islamic priests. I think the country could save a lot of money by shutting down the CIA with its 44 billion dollar annual budget and just have a skeleton staff watch YouTube sermons by Islamic priests. It’s all you need to know about the Middle East…

Now, dying for one’s religion under certain circumstances is even a Jewish value. Knowingly going to one’s death for a religious principle deserves honor, but tragically the Muslim barbarians, 40% of them who think this way, suffer from a kind of monocular vision. All they see is the act from the point of the suicide bomber sacrificing for a cause greater than his own life; what they don’t see are his victims: innocent passersby, undefended, women, children, old people at random whose lives the suicide maniac takes from them. He may have the right to sacrifice for his beliefs in order to reach Paradise, but he does not have the right to sacrifice me and others for his quest.

Gai gezunterheit, go kill yourself Abdul, but leave me and us Jewish people out of it…

And before 1967, before Evyatar Borovsky had started living in Samaria, there were Arabs just like his murderer today who stabbed Jews to death. Before 1967 there was terror, which is a way of saying that the new Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria since then are not the cause of the homicidal hatred, so removing them would solve nothing…

If I could I would force these MKs to watch a few episodes of the prime minister’s question time in which the opposition mostly certainly has the right to challenge, laugh at, mock the other side but it had better be a verbal barb well fired with intelligence and wit…

What the Arad seemed not to khap, Yiddish for “get,” is that Obama is not in office to look after American interests. He has another agenda…

Like the radical feminists who cannot tolerate Orthodox Jewish practice, so the Enlightened want to dejudaize Jerusalem.

In this they are sort of like the Muslims who cannot tolerate the existence of our little island of a state in the vast sea of Middle Eastern Muslim states…

…John Brennan is on video calling Jerusalem “Al-Quds” and took his oath of office not on the Bible of his upbringing as a Roman Catholic but a copy of the U.S. Constitution.

Chuck Hagel also had, through high school, a 100% Roman Catholic education pre-Vatican II, and probably like Mel Gibson’s father and Pat Buchanan, because Vatican II which absolved the Jews of deicide. did not sit well with him. Jews until 1965 were all seen as Christ-killers and treated accordingly, and it is no coincidence that Chuck Hagel was most famous during his 12 years in the Senate for his defiant protest against the normally pro-Israel senators. I suspect Rep. Lamborn – married for 36 years, raising five children, living in Colorado Springs, ground zero for Christian Conservatives – knew exactly what he was doing when put in the record classified information. Why classified? Why should that fact be hidden? How does hiding it enhance the security of the American people? On the contrary, exposing it could energize Americans to pressure the administration to take action…

In Araby and Islam they are saintly, pious, heroes of the faith…

And there supporting these so-called Balestinians are the likes of Bill Van Esveld of Human Rights Watch who is completely blind to the human rights of us Jews who have the human right, I think, not to be pelted with rocks as we drive by in our cars.

A 14-year old with a good pitching can probably throw a baseball-sized rock at maybe 70 miles an hour into the windshield of an oncoming Jewish car moving at 40 miles an hour, for an impact at 110 miles an hour a rock thrown into a car window, into a Jew’s head and you’ve got a dead Jew. These kids are would-be murderers which the likes of Bill Van Esveld go to bat for in the name of their human rights.

And what about our human rights, Mr. Van Esveld, not to be stoned as we have been stoned constantly throughout 14 centuries of Islam?

But the top story today in Israel continued to be the assault on Jewishness by a handful of women arguably neurotic for accusing others of their own sin…

This business of Jews allegedly teaching their children to hate non-Jews is nothing but, this deep accusation, a projection of the antisemite. Observe the irony: here is Jimmy Carter teaching his Sunday school classes, his church’s children, to hate Jews, to hate and fear us. And that is because in the relationship it is Jimmy Carter who teaches hatred of Jews, not Jews teaching hatred of Christians like himself.

Evidently Simon and Schuster marketed tapes of Carter’s Sunday School talks for some time, only now people are paying attention to them their perverted view of Jews plainly on display for all to hear.

Not that anyone should be surprised. Everything in this man’s attitudes toward Israel was a function of his functionally medieval fears, hatreds and fantasies about us Jews…

…What the West has been doing for 20 years now is forking over billions to these grafters in exchange for relative peace with Israel.

This has been the American posture toward Egypt since the 1979 peace treaty. All that foreign aid to Egypt went to the army, the second government there, in exchange for which the army maintained the peace with Israel. Foreign aid as extortion, rather, extortion as foreign aid, which was the tribute Western countries used to pay the Barbary cities not to hijack their merchant marine and enslave their passengers and crews.

Dealing with these Arabs is like living in a state of permanent blackmail…

This character spent some years (I guess) as CIA station chief in Riyadh and apparently had no problem living in a culture where women are functionally slaves. How John Brennan could live in that country so bereft of civilization and want to convert to the religion of that society is beyond me…

…Well, in addition to the failure of Zionism mentioned before to extinguish lunatic Jew-hatred in the world, the recent visit here by His Holiness Imam Barack Hussein did nothing to advance the so-called peace process which has never really been a peace process because it began with and was based on a lie: that the Arabs here had had a change of heart and mind when it came to Israel and the Jewish free state. Oslo was a monumental act of self-deception by those two socialist-educated fools Rabin and Peres and his poodle Yossi Beilin who is more of an anti-Jew then the two of them combined. The self-deception was that the enemy was no longer the enemy; that Arafat, Abbas & Co. really had come around to accepting the right of Israel to exist and that all they wanted for themselves was just Yesha…

But over thousands of years of recorded history only one whole country claimed to be holy, and it is an international fact that when people talk about The Holy Land, they all have the same place in mind.

This is a major reason why a third of the work of the United Nations deals with this country and not others. The United Nations are nations united around Israel as around no other issue…

…Sharia Law in effect goes the concept of the Promised Land a quantum leap further. The Holy One Blessed be He promised this little country to this little people but no more. This people had the obligation to expel the current inhabitants when they crossed over Jordan, which they did not meet for over 400 years.

But that was it. The map of the Promised Land is described in words in the Torah more than once but that’s it.

Versus the Muslim belief that believing in Muhammad as the final and greatest prophet of all means ultimately the taking possession of every country on earth. Islam is a license to conquer, in order to steal, the world…

But not Dr. Abbas, PhD. This guy is as much of a nutcase as David Irving but is still seen as the great white hope of peace between his victimized authentic owners of Palestine people and the Jews in Israel…

Israeli being Israelis, they of course focused on the exoneration in this instance but overlooked the moral pollution of the larger context in which both sides are held to the same standard. The report’s idea of even-handedness is taking both sides to task for “failing to respect international law.”

I read that and got morally nauseous. Doesn’t this High Commissioner on Human Rights know that the Hamites in Gaza are terrorists, international terrorists, criminals who are known solely for their terrorist atrocities, the grossest violation of human rights imaginable, the murder of fellow human beings at random? These are people whose very existence is coterminous with the criminal violation of law…

So this latest maneuver by the Obama administration, bringing this bin Ladin son-in-law into Federal court in Manhattan, he who surely knows lots of secrets about al-Qaida but will not be interrogated as he would be in Guantanamo… this latest Obama-Holder stunt is grounds for impeachment and removal but of course no one in Congress will lead that campaign.

And I think one of the reasons for this, one of the reasons no one has truly campaigned to expose his birth-certificate as a forgery is fear. Real, live, human fear of violence from this man Obama and his supporters. I find him a scary dude. There are expressions on his face photographers capture that I have never seen on any American presidents’ faces. I think he is liar, an imposter but nobody is standing to him precisely because he is so scary.

I think that AIPAC and the Jewish Democratic senators are afraid of him too…

…There is anxiety here and among pro-Israelites abroad that the Prime Minister Netanyahu is ready to give away the store – which he likely wants people to think. I will believe it when I see it. My guess is that Netanyahu’s tactic today is the same he used in 2009 when he offered to create a state for the Ancient Ones in the heart of the Promised Land but so hedged and conditioned his offer as to make it impossible for it to happen. I suspect once again he is sending out trial balloons to prove what a nice guy he is – no greedy Jew – but again will hedge these talked of concessions with impossible conditions…

Michael Oren and Bibi Netanyahu and Haaretz and AIPAC live in a world where the Two-State Solution is The Solution. Everybody knows that – but in reality the Two-State Solution, as the enemies of Israel conceive of it, will never happen.

No Israeli regardless of political or religious or atheistic bent who is not insane wants to see the high ground overlooking Ben Gurion Airport in the hands of Arabs absent the presence of the IDF and the Jewish communities who live on this high ground.

Nobody, regardless of political party who is not suicidal thinks it would be a good idea if all the Jews abandoned their homes and all the Israeli police and army too, and in their place 100% Arab sovereign rule would take over, which is what Barack Hussein has in mind. And all antisemites like him. But this is not going to happen…

Well, this delusion of a globe-encircling Jewish subterfuge to dominate the whole world is Erdogan’s too. In other words, this guy is as clinical about Jews as Hitler was…

Chuck Hagel like Louis Farrakhan made a name for himself via his hostility to the State of Israel and Jewish people in general. Farrakhan without his Jew-hatred would be nobody, and likewise Chuck Hagel in the Senate stood out not his rhetoric or eloquence or leading for some great cause, or as an expert in some field; Chuck Hagel stood out for his anti-Jew animosity…

I find this weird. It is a political system in which you don’t vote for the one you want to lead but his rival?

This crummy system of voting for party lists only not only is not democratic, it perverts democratic thinking. It messes up the way people think about politics…

Indeed, those words have been powerful beyond imagining in producing Jewish civilization, Christian civilization and the spread of Islam -which is just a rip-off of Judaism. Indeed, unbelievably powerful words if but not in the way the Philistines thought.

And so these Ishmaelites have invented “Islamophobia” to compete with antisemitism…

Every word hear signals his anti-Jew bias. “Palestine Guerrilla.” Again, there is nothing “Palestinian” about these people, and until the 1960s their leader Haj Amin was adamant there was no such country as Palestine. Yet Kurtzer uses the term.

And “Guerrilla.” No, guerrillas traditionally attack the soldiers of foreign armies to drive them back to their countries of origin; versus the PLO terrorists who preferred to murder defenseless civilians rather than engage with the IDF…

In effect, we Religious Zionists don’t want peace. Given the choice between peace and living in Judea and Samaria, we reject peace. This is the thought-process of Israel’s Enlightened.

For the Enlightened, religion is a synonym for voodoo and bigotry, hating the Ancient Ones, hating the men and boys of Sodom…

And now we have his boneheaded choice for Secretary of State, john Kerry, whose first policy initiative since being sworn in 12 days ago is to see that another 700 million US dollars are given to the Fatah killers masquerading these days as the PA…

…These Arabs here are the same Arabs who brought down the World Trade Center 12 years ago and just last month slaughtered 38 oil industry workers in Algeria.

When one reads dispatches from Palestinian Media Watch and Memri.org the picture could be not clearer: these Muslims truly are a less developed society, a less developed culture than found in Judeo-Christian countries. And that means one cannot deal with them as one deals in the West.

I think Israel’s biggest mistake is humoring them by catering to their delusions. Like Bibi saying “Yes, the Ancient Palestinians should have a state in Judea and Samaria, but only under certain conditions.”

I wish – contrarily – our leaders would respond to the demand for a “Palestinian” state by answering that there is no Balestinian nation and certainly not one entitled to Judea, homeland of the Jewish people…

…History. His story. History is the events of man, G-d’s greatest creation, who since the Garden of Eden has rebelled against his Maker. And one major chapter in this endless unfolding of the wars of man against G-d was the Holocaust. World War II saw the killing of 50 million people, and the most important engine of that war was the infernal Jew-hatred of Adolf Hitler and the millions of people who supported him not only in his native Austria and adopted Germany but in every land his rampaging army overran. Not just Germans but many nationalities participated in the mass slaughter of Six Million Jews, which gargantuan human sacrifice included the stripping of every one of those Jews of their material wealth. The Holocaust was also the greatest armed robbery in history…
