  • Israel Has Lost Any Sense of Moralıty and Become Golıath
    ısrael HAS LOST ANY SENSE OF moralıtY AND BECOME golıaTH Hassan Ghani 12 February 2011 / Scotland Hassan Ghani (1985) is Scot of Pakistani origin. He is currently a cor- respondent of PressTV news channel based in London. He was free- lanced, and supplied material to BBC Scotland and Al Jazeera in the past, and has worked in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Gaza, Egypt and across Europe. Why did you join the Gaza Freedom Flotilla? What was your mo- tivation? As a correspondent for my channel, PressTV, it’s my job to cover significant events around the world. I’d already been sent on two aid convoys to Gaza that had departed by road from London. Having already been in contact with the IHH, which had been one of the organizers of Lifeline 3 Convoy led by Viva Palestina, it made sense for me to be onboard the Mavi Marmara and cover the story. Did you expect an Israeli attack before setting off? As you know, the Israeli authorities state that they warned in advance that they would not allow the Flotilla to go through. Israel was making all sorts of noises before our departure. They had shown to Israeli press the processing centres they had setup at Ashdod for the Flotilla passengers, and had leaked information about the military unit training to intercept us. However, my feeling was that this was probably just a rouse to scare off the Flotilla – a bluff in the hope that aid workers would back down in fear. If they did intercept the ships, we thought they would disable the engines or find some way of physically blocking the Flotilla’s path.

  • The Corona Ushpizin
    אושפיזי קורונה THE CORONA USHPIZIN Rabbi Jonathan Schwartz PsyD Congregation Adath Israel of the JEC Elizabeth/Hillside, NJ סוכות תשפא Corona Ushpizin Rabbi Dr Jonathan Schwartz 12 Tishrei 5781 September 30, 2020 משה תקן להם לישראל שיהו שואלים ודורשים בענינו של יום הלכות פסח בפסח הלכות עצרת בעצרת הלכות חג בחג Dear Friends: The Talmud (Megillah 32b) notes that Moshe Rabbeinu established a learning schedule that included both Halachic and Aggadic lessons for each holiday on the holiday itself. Indeed, it is not only the experience of the ceremonies of the Chag that make them exciting. Rather, when we analyze, consider and discuss why we do what we do when we do it, we become more aware of the purposes of the Mitzvos and the holiday and become closer to Hashem in the process. In the days of old, the public shiurim of Yom Tov were a major part of the celebration. The give and take the part of the day for Hashem, it set a tone – חצי לה' enhanced not only the part of the day identified as the half of the day set aside for celebration in eating and enjoyment of a חצי לכם for the other half, the different nature. Meals could be enjoyed where conversation would surround “what the Rabbi spoke about” and expansion on those ideas would be shared and discussed with everyone present, each at his or her own level. Unfortunately, with the difficulties presented by the current COVID-19 pandemic, many might not be able to make it to Shul, many Rabbis might not be able to present the same Derashos and Shiurim to all the different minyanim under their auspices.

That became strikingly evident when in virtually the same diplomatic breath Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he’d divert 100 million Euros from France’s staggering economy to wage war on the anti-Semitic virus engulfing his nation, while his foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, was peremptorily flogging a proposed UN Security Council resolution that would send Israel back to the 1949 “Auschwitz” cease-fire lines, impose a “Palestinian state” on Judea and Samaria, with its capital in a re-divided Jerusalem, and compel the Jewish state’s submission to a “fair resolution” of the Palestinian “refugee” claim. So let’s get this straight: On the one hand, 500,000 Jews must, at all costs, be dissuaded from running off to Israel and other locales because, per Msr. Valls, “France without its Jews is not France.” On the other hand, 6.3 million Israeli Jews must be prepared to cede their defensible borders, their historic highlands and their 3,500 year-old capital to a Fatah kleptocracy partnered with a politicidist Hamas because, per Msr.

  • Ismail Ali-Mustafa Ismail Nashwan
    ı wıtnessed THE MASSACRE OF THE zıonıstS FOR THE fırst tıme ın MY vıllAGE, AL-DAWAyıma, ın 1948 Ismail Ali Nashwan 17 March 2011/ Jordan Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan (1929) was born in the village of al-Dawayima, located on the west of Hebron, in Pales- tine. In 1948, in a raid on al-Dawayima, the Zionist 89th Battalion – composed of the Haganah and Lehi organiza- tions – under the command of Moshe Dayan, occupied the village and killed over 400 of its residents. Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan is one of the eyewitnesses to this massacre. Then the Zionist Occupation Forces exiled those residents that remained alive.… In 1956, he was arrested by the Israeli forces and spent two years in prison, then exiled from Palestine to Jordan. He has been living in Jordan since then. While dreaming of returning to his homeland, he has made use of every opportunity to go back to Palestine. He joined the Lifeline 3 convoy and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. In October 2010, he also joined the Lifeline 5 convoy, but the Egyptian administration prevented him from entering Gaza on the grounds that he posed a threat to the national secu- rity of Egypt, and that he had also a Turkish citizenship(!). THE FREEDOM FLOTıLLA ACHıEVED MUCH GREATER GOALS THAN ANTıCıPATED Mustafa Ismail Nashwan 17 March 2011/ Jordan Mustafa Ismail Nashwan (1969), the son of Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan, was born in Amman, and completed his educa- tion there. Since 1990, he has been working as an imam and a preacher. He joined the Lifeline 3 convoy and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla with his father, and was refused en- try to Egypt as part of the Lifeline 5 convoy.
