Rabbi Wein speaks In memory of...Eyal, Gilad and Naftali HY and the Federal Reserve AND FED UP WITH DEAD JEWS

See the Good in Your Past

When you look at your past, focus on the things you have to be thankful for.

Love Yehuda Lave


I thought you might get something from watching the memorial service by Rabbi Wein to the three boys killed last week. Rabbi Wein is one of my teachers and expresses thoughts better than I can, but I can explain some of this discussion of deep Jewish issues, if you have any questions.

As long as we are talking about unbelievable events here is one more. I generally am upbeat and positive about life, and I appreciate that is one of my fortes, but I did not want to share happy news with the memorial speech, so I included some more reality that is not real.


Subject:  Unbelievable - Did This Really Take Place?

 Be sure to watch this but make sure you're sitting down and holding on to something!

Fed Up With Dead Jews

Posted: 07/03/2014 5:51 pm EDT

There have been other murdered Jews at the hands of terrorists, countless in fact. Walk the streets of Jerusalem and see all the plaques on cafes', pizza shops, and street corners to Jews murdered by Palestinian terrorists.

But something changed with the murder of these three innocent teens. It was not just the senselessness of the act, three defenseless teen boys killed for no reason other than that they were Jewish, for no other purpose but to indulge Palestinian hate. Rather, it was a feeling that this had happened one too many times. That there was a critical mass of dead Jews that had now been reached beyond which the Israeli public and the world Jewish community was not prepared to mourn any more. That we were finally fed up. That we weren't going to take it any more. That we weren't going to make peace any longer with the fact that Jews are born to die. That Israel doesn't have to make do with the site of children's carcasses found rotting in caves. That Israel, even after all the innocent men, women, and children it has buried in the Arabs' 66 year war to annihilate it could still be shocked by the site of more young Jews dying just because they wore yarmulkes. That it was a gruesome site that should not come to be expected but should make our stomachs turn.

Israel and the Jews are fed-up with the site of dead Jews.

Fed up with some Palestinians justifying barbaric murder in the name of their grievances.

Fed up with the foul moral equivalency of Jews dying as targets of terrorists and Palestinians dying undertaking acts of terrorism.

Fed up with a world that has indulged anti-Semitism for thousands of years continuing to scapegoat the State of Israel and overlook dead Jews.

Fed up with Western media that makes more of Israelis adding rooms to apartments in east Jerusalem than 150,000 Arabs killed in Syria.

Fed up with the United Nations condemning the only democracy in the Middle East while overlooking the ghastly human rights abuses of its Arab neighbors.

Fed up with watching Jewish mothers and fathers wailing over the coffins of their children.

Fed up with certain Palestinians ululating at the same scene.

Fed up with Islamic terrorists believing they were getting sex with virgins in heaven for killing children on earth.

Fed up with haters of Israel being more concerned with how Palestinian terrorists are treated in Israeli jails - which is humanely - than with their victims families whose lives are destroyed forever.

Fed up with an American government which, with the best of intentions, pushes Israel to recognize a Palestinian unity government with Hamas when the United States would never even talk to Al Qaida who murdered so many innocent Americans.

Fed up with seeing Israeli communities in the West Bank surrounded by barbed wire to keep killers out while the Palestinian villages live openly and without fear because they know Israelis don't target children.

Fed up with the big lie that Israeli settlements are the reason for Palestinian terror when the PLO was founded before Israel ever conquered the West Bank in a defensive war and Hamas has launched thousands of rockets at Israel even after Israel forcibly removed every last settler.

Fed up with morally confused Churches like the Presbyterian Church USA initiating boycotts against Israel for simply protecting its citizens from terrorists while overlooking Arab atrocities against Christians throughout the Middle East.

Fed up with having to teach your children to fear basic neighborliness that was once so common in Israel, like hitching, lest your children never arrive home.

Fed up with Arab nations claiming to feel humiliated by, and swearing eternal enmity toward, a tiny little sliver of Jewishness that is a but a small fraction of total Arab land.

Fed up with a never-ending river of Jewish tears.

Fed up with a tragic history that never seems to recede.

And we have every right to be fed-up. No nation should have to live like this. No nation should have to die like this. Something has to be done. The status quo is unacceptable. No one quite knows how it can be remedied. But what we do know is that the option of dead Jews is no longer acceptable. We have a right to live.
