Guest Post on Mel Gibson's new movie coming out

As a fellow Jew I am asking you to do the following for the reasons that I am going to state. Mel Gibson has a new movie coming out very soon It is named "The Edge Of Darkness". I am asking you to not only boycott the movie but to forward this message to every Jew and every Jewish support group that you know. If you have any contacts with the media that can put this to print, it would reach even more people then we can imagine. 

If you recall Mel's father denies that the Holocaust ever happened. Mel supports his fathers beliefs. On Ash Wednesday February 25th, 2004, the movie "Passion Of The Christ" opened in thousands of theaters. Mel Gibson co-wrote, directed,and co-produced the movie. Gibson also financed the $25 million it took to make the movie through his own company, Icon Productions. Hollywood's major studios all passed on offers to distribute the film. New market films agreed to distribute it for a fee. The movie has probably created more controversy than any other movie in recent years. 

Some commentators have charged that the movie is Anti-Semitic because it blames the Jews for the death of Christ. The film portrays Jews who adhere to their Jewish faith as enemies of God and the locus of evil.. The above 2 paragraphs were taken from the web site of http://www.religioustolerance.org/chrgibson.htm. Yes, there is a web site. 

In July of 2006 Mel Gibson was stopped and arrested for drunk driving near his house in Malibu by Deputy James Mee. In his initial report, Deputy Mee described how Gibson bolted from custody and how he chased the actor back to his car where he handcuffed him. The report detailed repeated threats against Mee made by Gibson, who said that he "owned Malibu" and "would get even" with the deputy. The report also detailed Gibson's "barrage of anti-Semitic remarks" in which he said, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" before asking the deputy, who is Jewish: "Are you a Jew?" 

The article goes on to say that Gibson, because of his celebrity status received a $1300.00 fine and other minor consequences. He never apologized to the deputy or to the Jewish people. 

Can we support an individual who hates us? Please forward this to everyone you know that is Jewish

Secular Jews attacking haredi children

B"H

Every leftist is screaming against Haredim attacking women and children but hardly anyone is mentioning violent incidents taking place against the haredi population carried out by secular Jews:

Changes in EGGED Bus Fares / January 2012

The tram in Jerusalem

B”H 

Starting from January 1, 2012: The state - owned Israeli bus company EGGED raised many bus fares. A local one - way - ticket in Jerusalem as well as in Tel Aviv costs now 6,60 Shekels. The difference is that in Jerusalem, passengers are allowed to use a second bus with the same ticket. 

Usually we all expect a raise in bus fares but when I bought a ticket from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem yesterday (including the return), I found out that the price for the ticket got cheaper. From formerly 34 Shekels it went down to 30,60 Shekels. 

In case you are planning to buy a one - way - ticket for Jerusalem's tram: Although the tram is not part of EGGED, the fare is still 6,60 Shekels. 

How the radical left "Jewish Israel Fund" is planning to influence Israel

Playing around with national religious Jews as well as Haredim. The left - wing "Jewish Israel Fund" has set its agenda in order to destroy Israeli society from within.

The haredi bus driver

B"H

I am just coming back from my daytrip to Jerusalem. There wasn't so much to do in the capital today, as we had (and still have) ongoing heavy rain showers all over the country. The friend I was visiting suggested that we buy a ticket for the new tram and just take a longer ride to one of the final stops. So, we went from downtown Jerusalem to the outskirt Pisgat Ze'ev. 

The Pisgat Ze'ev neighbourhood was built about 15 - 20 years ago for the wave of new Russian immigrants streaming into Israel. However, it turned out that more Israelis were moving into the new neighbourhood than Russians. Surrounded by Arab neighbourhoods like Shuafat and Beit Chaninah, the Egged bus line often had trouble traveling. The bus was stoned by Arabs many times until Jerusalem's Municipality built a special tunnel for the bus. Now the new tram is directly going through Shuafat and Beit Chaninah until Pisgat Ze'ev. 

We had an interesting ride and I took quite a few pictures I am going to publish within the next days. 

On my way back to Tel Aviv, we had a haredi bus driver. In fact, I haven't seen too many haredi bus drivers driving bus no. 405 from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station. Tonight it happened. We were only very few people on the bus and one passenger started asking the driver about the latest leftist attacks on Haredim and Mehadrin buses. Only yesterday, a whole group of leftists again tried to strom into a Mehadrin bus but the bus driver refused letting them in. It is only them causing trouble but, in the end, even those leftists admitted, that the Mehadrin bus was not that bad at all and they left. 

Our bus driver reacted very emotional and stated that this has been going on for more than a week now. Israel's left trying to storm into haredi buses or yell at haredi bus drivers running other bus lines than the Egged Mehadrin buses. "They (the left) is receiving funding from abroad in order to cause trouble in Israel. All those attacks are just disgusting and the media is not ashamed of itself. Cutting Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef's statements out of context and publishing everything the way they (the media) want". 

People on the bus agreed and, fortunately, we didn't have any of those crazy haredi - hating leftists on the bus looking for trouble.

Going to Jerusalem

B"H

I am going to Jerusalem today in order to look around and catch a bit of the ongoing atmosphere in Ge'ulah and Mea Shearim. If this is possible because the weather is freezing cold. Last night it was pouring rain and no one is in such a good mood either.

Anti - Semitism in Israel's and Germany's Media

B”H 

Israel's secular press just doesn't get it what kind of a new anti - Semitic wave their anti - haredi propaganda causes abroad. On the one hand, the Israeli government as well as the secular media is always upset and complaining about the rise of anti - Semitism all over the world; on the other hand, it is the Israeli press having a tremendous impact on this particular rise of anti - Semitism abroad. Just look at the present wave of hatred against Israel's haredi society. "Every Haredi is bad, a parasite and hates women !" This is the message being spread. Today it is the Haredim, tomorrow the press is running attacks against national religious settlers. Next week it will be the new Russian immigrants again who are, according to the media, all Mafiosi and the women are prostitutes. As soon as another Ethiopian immigrants kills his wife, Israel's media starts a new attack on all Ethiopian immigrants, as they are "all" primitive and criminals. 

However, what you don't find the secular media complaining about is, for instance, the 40,000 illegal Africans spreading in Tel Aviv . Our secular left - wing press considers those illegal Africans as the true future Israelis because they want to work and join the army. How sick can anyone be thinking that religious Jews are worth less than an illegal Muslim African coming to Israel because he wants to earn money and nothing else. The African has no ideology towards the State of Israel. Place him here today, and he will tell you that he loves Israel. Tomorrow, give him a plane ticket to Europe or the United States and he will claim to become a great American or European.

It is Israel's media having a great part in the rise of anti - Semitism as well as anti - Judaism worldwide. Lets look at the German left - wing magazine DER SPIEGEL. The magazine has always been anti - Semitic towards religious Jews and has been hating the guts out of them. The same with Israeli settlements and any right - wing Knesset member. Don't read what DER SPIEGEL has to say about haredi society these days and don't you ever read the German comments. I made the mistake and did read them and now I understand why Hitler had been so successful in Germany. 

Jewish man attacked by Israel's leftists

B”H 

I know Yaakov Pauchi for about ten years and I also know that he lives in the small Jerusalem neighbourhood called “Shimon HaZaddik”. Right between the Jewish neighbourhood of Ma’a lot Dafna and East Jerusalem. Between Mea Shearim and Ramat Eshkol. 

Who was Rabbi Shimon HaZaddik (Rabbi Shimon the Righteous), whose grave is located in the neighbourhood named after him ? 

Rabbi Shimon was one of the first High Priests (Cohen HaGadol) of the first era of the Second Temple. Not the beautiful building we know. That one was built much later by Herod. After the First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and thousands of Jews were taken in exile, many finally returned under Ezra (the Prophet). When they returned to Jerusalem, they began rebuilding the Temple. Actually the Talmud lists us one opinion that only the roof of the First Temple got destroyed by the Babylonians. Others say that the entire building was destroyed. 

Rabbi Shimon HaZaddik himself is mentioned in theTalmud . I read that he was one of the last, or even THE last, righteous Cohen HaGadol because shortly after he died, corruption began. Anyone with money could become the new High Priest and didn't even have to be a Cohen anymore. Jerusalem's upper class became greedy and didn't care about G - d and Torah. The only thing bothering was that every Yom Kippur, the newly appointed Cohen HaGadol died because he had to enter the Kodesh HaKedoshim (the Holy of Holies). And, as we know, only real and righteous Cohanim (Priests) are able to do so. Other will die and not come out alive. 

Israel's radical left has been demonstrating together with the Palestinians in front of the grave as well as the neighbourhood. They don't care about Jewish history and the leftists claim that the area belongs to East Jerusalem. 

Yesterday another demonstration took place and Yaakov Pauchi got injured by one of the left - wingers. I was shocked seeing his picture in the news this morning.

Why Jews don't believe in Joshke

The true haredi face

B”H 

There is no doubt that haredi society is anything but perfect and that there exist enough internal society problems. However, what no one should forget is the tremendous Chesed (kindness), haredi organizations carry out. Soup kitchens, any support for the needy, medical supply, medical help; haredi organizations even rent out glasses for someone who cannot afford a new pair at the moment. Any Jew can ask for help and no one will ask you if you wear a Kipa or a long skirt and long sleeves.
