Why are these idiots allowed to incite hatred and preach genocide? See how close the fundamental Christians and Jews have joined hands to flaunt International Law, continue settlement building and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. As US generals have spoken out: Israel has become a liability for US national interest if we don’t act. In Washington DC there is no resolve to follow through on the United Nations Security Council resolutions and neither is there appetite to criticize the extreme right politicians in their acts of war crimes against the Palestinian people. Fear Inc and Islamophobia is a creation of these same idiots and are funded by Jewish organizations. The Israel lobby is as strong as ever writing legislation in Washington DC for the legislators of U.S. Congress representing “We The People” over here, not over there!

Christians and the Salt of the Earth …

Because salt seasons a sacrifice? In Old Testament times, sacrificed animals, like bulls or rams, had to be salted: “You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.” (Ezekiel 43: 24, NIV). Since meat tasted better with salt, those things offered to God would be more pleasing to Him with the same addition. The New Testament makes reference to this practice as well: “For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt” (Mark 9: 49, KJV).

Ehr Daw 2014 – Given on Rosh Hashanah, 5775
by Rabbi Shalom Lewis | Congregation Etz Chaim blog | Marietta, Georgia | Sept. 29, 2014 |

And so, here were are in a place of unimagined chaos and cowardice, paralysis and brutality. The beast roams the earth; we are stymied, stunned and continue to fiddle. My friends, “Ehr Kumpt Part 2, the Sequel.” This is not a time for delicacy. For tiptoeing. It is not a time to parse words nor worry about offending someone with unfiltered vocabulary. Time is no longer a luxury we possess. Distance no longer provides protection. We are being threatened like no time before, by an enemy obsessed with an apocalyptic endgame that will bring only disaster. An enemy that worships savagery. An enemy that celebrates depravity. An enemy that glorifies the death of the young. There has been a seismic shift in our world. We feel it. We see it. We know it. We dare not deny it. Pick up any newspaper on any day, the first page, the second page, the third page, the fourth page and beyond – – most of the articles are about radical Muslims, not just ISIS, immersed in a vicious culture of blood and slaughter. Skip to the sports page or the crossword puzzle if you wish, but that doesn’t make the uncomfortable news go away. In fact, it brings joy to the jihadists who hope for our indifference. If we deny evil then we need not fight it. It doesn’t exist – just a few lunatics, thousands of miles away, pounding sand, blowing each other up and occasionally beheading an unlucky journalist. Not so bad.

For years, we have been mercifully spared the ugliness and intimacy of war. The Battle of the Bulge and Iwo Jima were a black and white MovieTone newsreel after Tom & Jerry and before the Pride of the Yankees. We planted victory gardens, rolled up tin foil, bought Liberty Bonds, said goodbye to fathers, sons and brothers. But the trenches were on the other side of the Atlantic and Pacific. So too, every other subsequent conflict. The Yanks were coming but the shooting was “over there.” We suffered little. But today, war has been redefined and relocated. Geneva is finished. We are all combatants in the cross hairs. We are all on the front lines, like it or not. The battlefield has no boundaries and the war, no rules. The enemy targets deliberately, fiendishly, any place of innocence. All are vulnerable and so we must recalculate our strategy, re-examine our tolerance, re-energize our resolve and unequivocally identify the evil doers. Let us not be silenced by fear, by feckless goodwill, by reckless hope, by meaningless rhetoric…..

Atlanta Rabbi calls for Genocide of Muslims | Muslim Perspective |

    There are one billion Muslims in the world and authorities agree that 5% are committed Islamists who embrace terror and wish to see, by any means possible, the Muslim flag fly over every capital, on every continent. I was relieved when I heard only 5%. Thank God it’s only 5%. Now I could sleep soundly. But wait, let me figure this out, 5% of a billion is… 50 million Koran-waving, Allah Akbar-howling Muslim murderers out there planning to slit our throats, blow us up or forcibly convert us. . . .

    But what disturbs me is, where are the other 950 million Muslims who are not terrorists? Who are not bomb-blasting, acid-throwing zealots? Where are the other 950 million Muslims who tuck their children in at night with a lullaby, who are okay with Christians and Jews, crave a peaceful world and wish nothing more than a tasty bowl of hummus and a friendly game of Shesh Besh with a neighbor? I want to believe they are out there, for their sake and for ours. I want to believe they weep in pain over the desecration of their faith. I want to believe that we have partners who dream the dreams we do and wish upon the same star. I want to believe – – but where are they? A silent partnership is no partnership. Sin is not just in the act of commission – it is also in the act of omission. Most Germans were not Nazis – but it did not matter. Most Russians were not Stalinists – but it did not matter. Most Muslims are not terrorists – but it does not matter.

Rabbi Lewis is not only alarmed by the expected au courant bogeymen such as ISIS, but also criticism of Israeli policy and BDS activism which he attributes to an “alarming surge in Islamist rhetoric, violence and influence.”
