Watching the eloquent speech that President Obama gave to AIPAC, it was easy to see how this guy got elected and how he just won the support of the Jewish lobby again. He knows just how to say what people want to hear, while maintaining his own agenda. Read More…
President Barak Obama is clearly a talented showman. He spoke eloquently about American values, while dancing between the raindrops to avoid mentioning the most important one, recognition of the Creator of the Universe.. This is not the first time that the President quoted the declaration of independence while skillfully avoiding mention of the Creator, which was part and parcel of that declaration by our forefathers.
Further, he augmented his stance by focusing upon the rights of all people all over the world to self determination and self rule. Again he spoke well… but made no mention of the Creator.

Ladies and gentlemen of the United States Congress, I stand before you today in sincere humility to apologize for the failure of the leadership of my country, since our miraculous rebirth, to honestly address our obligations to all of Mankind. It is my sincere hope to undo decades of misdirection and steer my country back to the path it was meant to travel. Read More…
As Passover, the Festival of Freedom, approaches, we would do well to focus upon the fact that the reborn Jewish State is but a continuation of Jewish Destiny. How can it be otherwise? What other people in the history of nations was rescued from slavery from the most powerful nation in the world via incredible miracles, returned to their homeland where they built a powerful Kingdom and lived under the Law of G-d, exiled from their homeland for two thousand years yet still maintained their identity, and, exactly as predicted in our Torah, returned to that very homeland where they reestablished Jewish sovereignty? Could this have been an accident or mere happenstance? Read More…
It may be that the latest terror attack in Itamar will have a deleterious affect upon the peace process. But more likely it won’t. Our golden tongued prime minister spoke eloquently as he condemned those nations who refused to give the same response to cold blooded murder as they did to Jews building homes in Israel. He expressed disappointment that the PLO didn’t condemn the murders as well. I wonder why he would think that Abu Mazen, the master mind of the Munich massacre of Jewish athletes, would have any regrets about the murder of Jewish children, whose murder he most likely approved.
I am continuously amazed at how, after decades of countless horrific murders of Jewish civilians by our Arab peace partners, our dauntless leadership continues to ascribe these attacks to individual “terrorists” rather than recognize that our “peace” partners are actually engaged in a war to destroy the Jewish State!

This is the key question which most are simply unwilling to address. It is the reason we have so much turmoil in our world. As we watch dictators in the Arab world being deposed after decades of complete control it makes you wonder. Have the masses decided to adopt “democracy”? Is this what is happening all over the world? I think not.
Democracy assumes that the majority is always right. But this is not always true. But, worse than this, human nature prefers to assign authority to a charismatic leader. As regimes are toppled we will see new dictators emerge. And, more than this, we will begin to see the true character of the nations who allegedly accept Israel. Our stalwart peace partner, Egypt, has a population which hated Mubarak for forging relations with Israel. His replacement will clearly not repeat that “mistake”. Turkey, another stalwart ally of Israel, has already shown its contempt for the Jewish State above and beyond the “flotilla” incident. Jordan, as well, despite its diplomatic image, has a rabid hatred for the Jewish State. If Abdullah wants to retain his throne he will have to show his people that he hates Israel as well. Read More…
Redemption is not and cannot be a static process. Once it begins it must continue unto completion. Unfortunately Israel does not have leaders who understand this process. They seek to create peace by violating Jewish principles and trying to negate miracles. When leadership is lacking the Creator of the Universe creates situations which force our leaders to take actions which they otherwise would never have dreamed of taking. Read More…
About thirty years ago my wife and I decided to move to Israel with our three young daughters. The move was not based upon dissatisfaction with our lives in the USA, rather upon a yearning to come home to the Land G-d promised to our ancestors. There were no “guarantees” and we did not really know what was in store for us. But we were young and filled with hope for a bright future.
Our first attempt was to live on a moshav shutafi, a cooperative settlement somewhat like a kibbutz. Moshav Katif was located on the Gaza Strip on the sandy Mediterranean coast. We were given a small house overlooking the sea and we worked with the others growing tomatoes and flowers in plastic hot houses. Read More…

Dear Friends, As I am sure you noticed, I had some trouble trying to post my video address in Washington on my recent email program. It seems that the program doesn’t like to embed videos, nor does it like to allow clicking. Youtube doesn’t like to post videos much longer than five minutes and this video was about a half-hour long. I uploaded the video in five pieces to accommodate this need.
Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbNVUoBsAVs)
Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rf–JbBBd4)
Part 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clzEBzyVZzU)

Thank you for your patience and understanding. With Chanukah Blessings from Hebron, Gary

The conflict between Israel and her Arab neighbors is a religious one. The Arabs have a religious mandate to prevent any non Moslem entity from having sovereignty in the Middle East. As such they cannot accept the concept of a Jewish State in any form. The Jewish State has a religious mandate forbidding it to give away Jewish Land to any non Jewish entity, but Israel’s leadership has little interest in religious mandates. Read More…
