Eretz Yisrael - The Place to be for the Jewish people

2008-04-09T14:02:04+02:00

ISRAEL HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER OFF!

(text below from the person who uploaded it to YouTube with a very slight adjustment)

It's only TV and the media that make people think that the end of the world is coming.

Only 60 years ago, they were leading Jews to their death like sheep to the slaughter!

No Country, No Army. 55 years ago!!

Seven Arab countries declared war on the small Jewish State, only a few hours old!!

We were then 650,000 Jews! against the rest of the Arab world!

No IDF [Israel Defense Force]. No mighty Air Force, just tough people with nowhere to go.

Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia, attacked all at once.

The country the U.N. "gave us" was 65 % desert.

The country started from scratch!

35 years ago!! we fought the three strongest armies in the Middle East, and wiped them out in six days.

We fought against different coalitions of Arab countries, with modern armies, and masses of Soviet Russian weapons, and we still won!

We have today a country, an army, a strong Air Force, a Hi-Tech Economy, exporting millions.

Intel - Microsoft - IBM develop their stuff here.

Our doctors win world prizes for medical developments.

We made the desert flourish, selling oranges and vegetables to the world.

Israel has sent its own satellite into Space! Three satellites all together!.

We sit proudly, with the U.S., with 250 million people, with Russia, with 200 million people, with China, with 1.1 billion people, with the Europeans -- France, England, Germany, with 350 million people, the only countries in the world to shoot something into space!!

Israel is today in the world nuclear power family with the U.S., Russia, China, India, France, and England. [We don't admit it, but every one knows...]

To think that only 60 years ago, we were led, shameful, with no hope, to our death!!

We crawled out of the burning ashes of Europe, we won our wars here with less than nothing in our hands, we built an "empire" out of nothing.

Passover was celebrated; let's not forget what the story is all about.
We overcame Pharaoh, we overcame the Egyptian Empire, we overcame the Chaldean Empire, we overcame the Babylonian Empire,we overcame the Greek Empire, we overcame the Roman Empire, we overcame the Byzantine Empire, we overcame the Spanish Empire, we overcame the Ottoman Turkish Empire, we overcame the British Empire, we overcame the Austro-Hungarian Empire, we overcame the German Empire, we overcame the French Empire, we overcame the Russia Empire, we overcame the Soviet Empire, we overcame Hitler, we overcame the Germans, we overcame the Holocaust, we overcame the armies of the seven Arab countries, we overcame Saddam.

Take it easy, folks, we will overcome the present enemies too.

No matter which part of human history you try!

Think of it, for us, the Jewish people, our situation has never been better!!!

So, let's Lift our Heads High, let's Remember:

Any nation or culture that tried to mess around with us was destroyed - while we kept going!

Egypt?

Anyone know where their empire disappeared to?

The Greeks?

Alexander of Macedonia?

The Romans?

Are there any Ceasars around?

The Third Reich?

Anyone heard any news about it lately?

And look at us, the Nation from the Bible, from slavery in Egypt, we are still here, speaking the same language! right here, right now.

The Arabs don't know it yet, but they will learn that there is one G-d.

As long as we keep our identity, we are eternal.

So, sorry for not worrying, not complaining, not crying, not being scared.

Things are O.K. here. They surely can be better, but still:

Don't fall for the media junk, they won't tell you that there are festivals going on, that people keep on living, that people are going out, that people are seeing friends.

They are part of our strength. It might help some of them to keep their heads up high.

Tell them that there is nothing to worry about.

Tell them to think BIG, and to see the whole picture.

"See You Next Year in Jerusalem."

Aliyah: Live the Dream - Move to Eretz Yisrael

2008-04-09T12:55:20+02:00

About Nefesh B'Nefesh Inspiration & Mission Statement Founders: Rabbi Yehoshua Fass & Tony Gelbart The core mission of NBN is to revitalize Aliyah and to substantially increase the number of future olim by removing the financial, professional and logistical obstacles that prevent many individuals from actualizing their dreams. In the process of fulfilling our mission, we aim to educate and inspire the Jews of the Diaspora as to the centrality of the Jewish State to the Jewish people and its desirability as a Jewish home. Such enhanced awareness will send an unmistakable signal of Anglo-Israeli Jewish solidarity and of our mutual determination to strengthen the State of Israel and thereby increase the likelihood of an ever expanding Aliyah reality. NBN provides comprehensive support for olim by directly interfacing with them, both in the pre-and post-Aliyah stages. We offer financial assistance, employment resources, social services and guidance through governmental absorption procedures in order to help make each individual's Aliyah as successful as possible. In 2006, NBN extended its Aliyah expertise and success experience in initial efforts to assist in boosting Aliyah from the United Kingdom.

The Entebbe operation (1976)

2008-03-28T17:53:23+01:00

One of the many of Eretz Yisrael's greatest and daring achievement was the rescue operation at Entebbe in Uganda where Yisraeli army forces rescued the hostages from the terrorists who a few days earlier had hijacked an Air France airliner. It will afterwards always stay in the mind of the peoples of the world that it, that this evil can be defeated, that we should not fear it, but stand shoulder to shoulder to fight it till victory together as Jews and gentiles (Noahides), and this relentlessly till the last terrorist is killed or has layed down his/her weapons.

Let me say just ad one thing more to this in the form of an additional quote:

Whoever saves a Jewish life, who stands shoulder to shoulder with Eretz Yisrael the Jewish state, and with Judaism, will save his/her own, will redeem/salvage his/her own life as well, and even that of nature.

The Six Day War (1967)

2008-03-28T17:47:48+01:00

Another major achievement that stunned the entire world was its victory during what became called the Six Day War. It reminds us of those recorded battles Israel faced during Biblical times when it too was faced with enemies of a much greater strength and miraculously still won, and its existence secured. Now the entire soil of Eretz Yisrael became liberated from its enemies after almost 2000 years, a prophecy being fulfilled and in the process of becoming fulfilled entirely.

In this documentary at the end it is said that victory was also achieved by a great deal of luck, an enormous amount of luck beside the hundreds of hours of training. Personally I would add to that: Thank G-d it was so, thank G-d for His help as well. Time to be not afraid anymore of saying this, of coming out for it no matter being a secular Jew or even ultra orthodox for it's reality.

There is even a story, true or not I can't tell, that states that when a Syrian soldier who fought the Yisraeli army during the Yom Kippur war in 1973 was asked what happened, why that the Syrians lost, then his answer was: How could we fight an entire army of Heavenly angels siding with the Yisraeli army?

It is said that you can't yourself regard as a real Yisraeli when you don't belief in miracles in the very land of miracles. An interesting thought to consider.

Yisraeli airstrike on Iraqi nuclear reactor (1981)

2008-03-28T17:43:49+01:00

This is a very informative documentary on one of the most succelful, amazing, courageous and daring missions the IAF has ever undertaken in its entire history, namely the destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reaction that was being build at the time with the help of France.

Out of pure economic reasons, and of course also to have a bit of power in the region of the Middle-East, France completely ignored the consequences of its actions, of what this deal could cause to hundreds of thousands of innocent lives Jews and gentiles (Noahices). It was Eretz Yisrael that once again had to clear up their mesh.

Over the course of the Jewish Diaspora, the exile from their Homeland Eretz Yisrael, it was a general view within Jewish society, even sadly enough still today, that their lives are considered very cheap within certain parts of the world and minds. This documentary also shows how correct and just this interpretation is.

It's good to have Eretz Yisrael back, and the ability as a Jewish nation to once again have the force to defend itself against this inhumane and barbaric behavior that also lives vividly within quite a few political circles throughout the entire world, even in the West, and sadly enough still today. And this is not only so within extreme circles, even politically!!
