Rabbi’s Commentary

An Absurd and Insulting Charge

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

February 23, 2012

Dear Friend of Israel,

If it weren’t so tragic, it would be laughable – calling Israel an apartheid state, comparing the one true democracy in the Middle East to the oppressive legal system once in use in South Africa. But that’s exactly what the organizers of the annual “Israel Apartheid Week” (IAW) believe. Their event takes place on college campuses around the world beginning early next week, as they seek “to educate people about the nature of Israel as an apartheid system.”

Under South African apartheid, black people were subject to laws that controlled practically every aspect of their public behavior and completely segregated them from the ruling white minority. It was a brutal system that thankfully was dismantled in the early 1990s after years of intense internal and international pressure.

The question remains: How could the word “apartheid,” which describes an evil system of institutionalized segregation, discrimination, and domination based on race, possibly be applied to Israel? IAW organizers wrongly use it to make the claim that the treatment of Arabs in Israeli society and the treatment of black South Africans under apartheid is similar.

How ridiculous. In apartheid-era South Africa, black citizens were totally disenfranchised and relegated to the status of second-class citizens. In Israel, on the other hand, both Jewish and Arab citizens have equal protection under the law, enjoy freedom of religion and speech, and have full voting rights. Arab-Israeli members are present in Israel’s 120-member parliament, the Knesset.

Benjamin Pogrund, a South African Jew now living in Israel who saw firsthand the horrible oppression and misery caused by apartheid in his native country, spelled out the absurdity of this comparison in a 2005 essay. “Two years ago I had major surgery in a Jerusalem hospital,” he wrote. “The surgeon was Jewish, the anesthetist was Arab, the doctors and nurses who looked after me were Jews and Arabs. Jews and Arabs share meals in restaurants and travel on the same trains, buses and taxis, and visit each other’s homes. Could any of this possibly have happened under apartheid? Of course not.”

Sadly, the truth, and real-life examples like Pogrund’s, means nothing to IAW organizers and their ilk. Anyone who promotes the idea of Israel as an “apartheid state” is either ignorant or motivated by bias against the Jewish state so intense that facts and truth no longer have any meaning to them.

We’ve mobilized to help fight this blatant anti-Israel prejudice. Be sure to visit our 4Zion website for resources that can help you counter the lies of Israel Apartheid Week. Now is a time for Israel’s friends to stand up and be counted — and that is exactly what I hope you will do today.

There is, of course, real oppression in the world. In Syria, anti-government demonstrators are shot and killed by the dozens nearly every day. Iran’s government has done the same to demonstrators who take to the streets against that country’s harsh Islamist regime. In Saudi Arabia, there is no such thing as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of assembly, and women are second-class citizens under the law.

And yet, Israel Apartheid Week protesters focus their indignation on one country – tiny, democratic Israel. In doing so, they reveal their true motives – not to seek justice for Palestinians or to promote peace, but to defame the Jewish state. Those who use these dishonest, underhanded tactics reveal much about their own hatreds and biases – and nothing about Israel.

With prayers for shalom, peace,


Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President

Josef – The Story of a Survivor

Josef, a 75-year-old Ukrainian Jew, is a Holocaust survivor. During World War II he was imprisoned at the notorious Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. For many years, Josef kept his horrific stories of the events during the war to himself.

But recently, after encouragement from a worker at a local Hesed center funded by The Fellowship’s Isaiah 58 program, he began telling his story. The center is a place of hope for Josef, where this impoverished man receives food and medical assistance on a regular basis. And now, it has also given him a means of release and a sense that his history will not be forgotten.

Josef began by saying, “I was working in the coal mine when the frontline was approaching. We marched in lines wearing prison clothes. We had wooden soles on our boots. It was cold and people were weak. Those who couldn’t go further were killed and stayed where they lay. We were driven forward this way for three days, day and night. When we felt that the front was coming nearer to us, we were put into carriages where the coal was usually kept. We were piled one on top of another.

“As we rode in the carriages, somehow people from one of the villages we were passing through learned that prisoners were in the carriage, so they threw us bread and meat. We were weak and hungry. We tried to catch the pieces of food. People were so hungry that the crowd crushed each other trying to get the food. The Nazi guards shouted, ‘Halt!’ and they shot the prisoners. A lot of people were killed. The guards made us take the bodies and stack them inside the carriage like a bench. Then they made us sit on them. Three days more days we lived through that, imagining the day when we could escape.

“Finally they took us from the carriage. Then they put us in columns and we began marching again. Many days passed. We found ourselves in a small forest. Suddenly we stopped and looked around and there were no guards around. It was night, dark. We saw a big barn. Very carefully, we approached the barn, crawled in, and slept there all night. We didn’t hear a tank coming near. We woke up and saw light between the boards in the barn. We looked out and saw a five-angled star. We didn’t know that Englishmen and Americans had a five-angled star too.”

At first, Josef and the others thought they were seeing a Russian tank. He continued, “We started whispering, ‘It’s a Russian tank, it’s a Russian tank.’ Then we understood that they were Americans.

“When the Americans found us, they were struck dumb at what we looked like. We were kids and there were middle aged people there too. The soldiers handed us chocolates and vitamins and water. I felt the strength coming into my muscles again. The soldiers told us how to get to the road. The American soldiers in jeeps came near I will remember them all my life. There were about 80 of us at that time. They took us to a town in Germany and settled us there, in former Nazi housing. We took off our prison clothes and they showed us piles of clothes and told us to take what we wanted. We washed, they fed us, and there were doctors there.”

Josef humbly thanked us for listening to his story. And, before we left, he added a heartfelt note of thanks to The Fellowship’s Isaiah 58 donors who he also regards as heroes for funding the Hesed center where he receives so much support. “Thank you for the help you are providing. Give these good people my regards.” He continued, “I pray there will be peace for them.”

Without the love and compassion of the Fellowship staff, Josef’s story might never have been told and without the Fellowship-funded Hesed center, Josef might not be alive today. Shockingly, tens of thousands of Holocaust survivors like Josef are living in the former Soviet Union in abject poverty, unable to afford basic necessities such as food and medicine. You can help these struggling elderly Jews find a measure of peace and comfort in their old age through a gift to Isaiah 58

PM adviser’s letter to ‘New York Times’
By JERUSLAEM POST STAFF
12/16/2011 08:47

Netanyahu’s senior adviser Ron Dermer writes letter to ‘New York Times’ explaining why PM “respectfully declined” to write op-ed piece.
Talkbacks (40)

Dear Sasha,
I received your email requesting that Prime Minister Netanyahu submit an op-ed to the New York Times.  Unfortunately, we must respectfully decline.

On matters relating to Israel, the op-ed page of the “paper of record” has failed to heed the late Senator Moynihan’s admonition that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that no one is entitled to their own facts.

A case in point was your decision last May to publish the following bit of historical revision by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas:

It is important to note that the last time the question of Palestinian statehood took center stage at the General Assembly, the question posed to the international community was whether our homeland should be partitioned into two states. In November 1947, the General Assembly made its recommendation and answered in the affirmative.  Shortly thereafter, Zionist forces expelled Palestinian Arabs to ensure a decisive Jewish majority in the future state of Israel, and Arab armies intervened. War and further expulsions ensued.
This paragraph effectively turns on its head an event within living memory in which the Palestinians rejected the UN partition plan accepted by the Jews and then joined five Arab states in launching a war to annihilate the embryonic Jewish state.  It should not have made it past the most rudimentary fact-checking.

The opinions of some of your regular columnists regarding Israel are well known.   They consistently distort the positions of our government and ignore the steps it has taken to advance peace.   They cavalierly defame our country by suggesting that marginal phenomena condemned by Prime Minister Netanyahu and virtually every Israeli official somehow reflects government policy or Israeli society as a whole.  Worse, one columnist even stooped to suggesting that the strong expressions of support for Prime Minister Netanyahu during his speech this year to Congress was “bought and paid for by the Israel lobby” rather than a reflection of the broad support for Israel among the American people.

Yet instead of trying to balance these views with a different opinion, it would seem as if the surest way to get an op-ed published in the New York Times these days, no matter how obscure the writer or the viewpoint, is to attack Israel.    Even so, the recent piece on “Pinkwashing,” in which Israel is vilified for having the temerity to champion its record on gay-rights, set a new bar that will be hard for you to lower in the future.

Not to be accused of cherry-picking to prove a point, I discovered that during the last three months (September through November) you published 20 op-eds about Israel in the New York Times and Palestinian Arabs.   After dividing the op-eds into two categories, “positive” and “negative,” with “negative” meaning an attack against the State of Israel or the policies of its democratically elected government, I found that 19 out of 20 columns were “negative.”

The only “positive” piece was penned by Richard Goldstone (of the infamous Goldstone Report), in which he defended Israel against the slanderous charge of Apartheid.

Yet your decision to publish that op-ed came a few months after your paper reportedly rejected Goldstone’s previous submission.  In that earlier piece, which was ultimately published in the Washington Post, the man who was quoted the world over for alleging that Israel had committed war crimes in Gaza, fundamentally changed his position.   According to the New York Times op-ed page, that was apparently news unfit to print.

Your refusal to publish “positive” pieces about Israel apparently does not stem from a shortage of supply.   It was brought to my attention that the Majority Leader and Minority Whip of the U.S.  House of Representatives jointly submitted an op-ed to your paper in September opposing the Palestinian action at the United Nations and supporting the call of both Israel and the Obama administration for direct negotiations without preconditions.   In an age of intense partisanship, one would have thought that strong bipartisan support for Israel on such a timely issue would have made your cut.
So with all due respect to your prestigious paper, you will forgive us for declining your offer.  We wouldn’t want to be seen as “Bibiwashing” the op-ed page of the New York Times.

Sincerely,

Ron Dermer
Senior advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu

Ebook Short Description
Jacob’s Courage is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults during the Holocaust. This historical novel explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are murdered. From despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.

“A tender, coming of age tale. This book shows the critical roles that love, determination, and steadfast belief play toward battling one’s demons both physically and mentally. Jacob’s Courage is ultimately a tribute to the triumphant human spirit.” Jewish Book World… (Read more) “Gut Wrenching and Heart Rending.

“A tender, coming of age tale. This book shows the critical roles that love, determination, and steadfast belief play toward battling one’s demons both physically and mentally. Jacob’s Courage is ultimately a tribute to the triumphant human spirit.” Jewish Book World

“The reader sees events through the eyes of archetypal participants… a doctor forced to experiment on his own, a Sonderkommando and a hero.” The Association of Jewish Libraries

“The author maintains a driving, relentless pace. Jacob and his beloved Rachael try to escape the madness of Nazi Germany while maintaining their humanity; in the end, the visionary protagonist comes to echo his Biblical counterpart who fled danger in his own country and saw a life-changing vision in his dreams.” The University of Toledo

“Jacob’s Courage follows the young couple from the forced ghettos to the concentration camps and beyond, with several harrowing twists and turns that allow Weinblatt to illustrate the myriad tragedies Holocaust victims faced.” Toledo Free Press

“The love story was beautiful and touching. This was such an emotional read. Weinblatt’s vivid descriptions of the time beautifully entwines with the love story. Jacob’s Courage is a powerful story of how love does conquer all. No matter how hard the times are, love and humanity never lose their power.” My Love Affair with Books

“Jacob’s Courage reminded me of one of the greatest books of the 20th Century, Viktor Frankl’s, Man’s Search for Meaning. Weinblatt has painted a picture with words of the horrors of the holocaust. Jacob’s Courage is a personal, real life example of holding on to something greater than one’s self. The love that grows between Jacob and Rachael sustains them through the horrors of life in a Nazi death camp. We all could learn a lesson from these two teenagers, coming of age and faced with the greatest existential threat to life.” Frank Fiore, author

“Not since Corrie Ten Boom’s The Hiding Place have the horrors of the holocaust been brought to life in such vivid detail. Charles Weinblatt takes you to Nazi Germany through the lives of two young people whose world is torn apart at a time in their lives when it should be blossoming. Weinblatt does a masterful job of touching your emotions throughout the book by placing you inside the lives of Jacob and Rachel. I recommend you pick up a copy of this book and a box of tissues. Get ready for a good cry and a heartwarming ending as Jacob and Rachel find the courage to live.” Rick Rodgers, author

” Weinblatt weaves such detail into his story that the reader comes away with a powerful sense of what life was like for the Jews during this horrible period in history. Jacob’s Courage shines a spotlight on the truth. Anyone interested in World War II, the Holocaust, Jewish history, or a love story, should pick up Jacob’s Courage.” Darcia Helle, author.

“This is an amazing book… one of the best reads that I’ve had in a long while and I literally could not put it down.” Jodi Shepard.

“For a clear and no-holds-barred description of life as a Jew in Nazi Germany, you can’t beat Jacob’s Courage, by Charles Weinblatt.” Jennifer Feddersen, Editor.

My last two blogs have featured the State of Israel.  I believe the world press tends towards anti-Israel for a variety of reasons. Oil, for instance; the world needs it and the Arab countries have it so the world must stay on friendly terms with them because of it. Israel has only a few friends and many enemies. The question is WHY? Do you know why people hate the Jews, what have they done to you?

Palestinians are taught to hate the Israelis. It’s fairly obvious that they are brain washed from an early age. Watch the news and documentaries on the subject and you will see children, some even toddlers, carrying anti-Israel placards. One recent photo in Trafalgar Square, London, shows a 10-12 year old boy holding up the incendiary statement, FOR WORLD PEACE ISRAEL MUST BE DESTROYED“. What kind of mind does that child have? How can you possibly have peace in the middle east when that kind of hatred is being taught. No matter how much land the Israelis release to the Palestinians, it will not bring them one step closer to peace. And why should Israel release any land after all? It is not them who were attacking, It was the Arab world trying to obliterate another race. And, surely, every person/country has the right to defend themselves.

Hitler tried the same thing with the Jews in Europe. Arab schools do not teach about the Holocaust. Nor for that matter do many western schools. Some even claim that it ever happened. Go to Auschwitz and have a look at the museum. My father-in-law was one of the first British soldiers to enter that camp after its `management’ retreated. The horror of it stayed with him for the rest of his life.

I highly recommend the book, Jacobs Courage by Charles S. Weinblatt. It’s a love story set in the middle of the Holocaust,  available at Amazon, Barns and Noble, Smashwords and many others. See more details at http://youtu.be/GHqowym6wyU

We could all do well to learn this simple message: `Love thy neighbour. Hate destroys but love conquers all.’

When the Jewish People Return by Ira Sulim-Carlier published October 2011

The first time that I heard about God’s plan for Israel and the Jewish people was from my grandmother. I can still recall her words: “Once the Gospel has been preached over the whole world and the Jewish people return to Israel from dispersion, it is time for the Messiah’s return to Jerusalem.” This she read in the Bible.

As I grew older, there was more freedom in the Ukraine, and I never really thought about my grandmothers words again. She passed away in 2004 at the age of 92.

Once the Iron Curtain fell, I started going to church. Althougth we were , once again, allowed to discuss faith openly, Israel and the Jewish people were not referred to or mentioned in church.

In the early nineties, many American missionaries came to the Ukraine and other counties of the former Soviet Union.

Having studied English, I was often asked to act as translator. During such a visit to an orphanage for handicapped children, I met Koen-my future husband.

He was there to visit an orphaned Jewish boy, and spoke about his work amongst the Jewish people. He would visit Jewish people who wanted to go back to Israel, and about bringing Jewish families to the airport for departure to their Promies Land.

His story echoed my grandmother word: ” When the Jewish people return, it will be the last days.” Those words, it seems are being fulfilled today. I believe it is the truth. This was an absolute revelation for me.

As a contact person for the Jewish Agency, I can now practically assist my husband, Koen, with his work amongst the Jewish people. It is an honour for me to be able to be part of this prophetic work. ( Ira Sulim-Carlier is married to Koen Carlier fieldworker Christians for Israel- Ukraine)

The Bible tells us that in the last days the nations of the world will turn against Israel. Don’t we see that happening today?

What do the Arabs of East Jerusalem really want?

By David Pollock

According to face-face surveys conducted according to the highest international standards, more Palestinians in East  Jerusalem would prefer to become citizens of Israel rather than citizens of a new Palestinian state. In addition 40 percent said they would probably or definitely move in order to live under Israeli rather than Palestinians rule.

44 percent of the Palestinians in Jerusalem say they are very or at least somewhat satisfied with their standard of living. This is a very high percentage compared to other populations in the Arab world. Only about 30 percent sympathize with either Fatah or Hamas or with the Israeli Arab Islamic movement. Politics is not a major preoccupation.

Three-quarters of east Jerusalem Arabs are at least a little concerned,  and more than half are more than a little concerned, that they would lose their ability to write and speak freely if they became citizens of a Palestinian state rather than remaining under Israeli control.

Significantly 41 percent thought that armed conflict probably or definitely would continue even after a peace agreement, and this is from the most moderate population of Palestinians. Only a third say that a unilateral declaration of Palestinian independence backed by the UN would have a positive effect on their lives. Two-thirds say that such a unilateral step would have no positive effect.

For people who tend to assume that a fair and practical solution for the Jerusalem issue is for the Arab neighborhoods to become part of Israel, these findings suggest that this could be somewhat problematic from the point of view of the people who actually live in east Jerusalem. End.

Taken from Wikipedia

According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, the Arab population of Israel in 2010 is estimated at 1,573,000, representing 20.4% of the population.[4] The majority of these identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and Israeli by citizenship.[5][6][7] Many have family ties to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Negev Bedouins tend to identify more as Israelis than other Arab citizens of Israel.[8]

Most of the Arabs living in East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967, were offered Israeli citizenship, but refused, not wanting to recognize Israeli sovereignty. They became permanent residents.[9] They are entitled to municipal services and have municipal voting rights.[10]

Chapter One
The rest of your life – stress and struggle, or peace and joy?
Life is demanding in today’s complex society, and we are all searching for ways to smooth our path so that we are able to enjoy not only prosperity, but peace and harmony in our lives.

Life isn’t easy. Many people suffer stress, depression, fears and insecurity just because of the pace and complexity of modern life, making it difficult to cope and causing depression, breakdowns and illnesses.

Most people have forgotten what it feels like to wake up in the morning and look forward to a wonderful, interesting, creative day, and how to live and enjoy a life of peace and happiness.

There is Hope!
If you see yourself described above, don’t panic! This book has been written to offer you hope and a joyful, fulfilling future, by giving you tools and techniques to use which can help you to change and improve your life.

Even if life seems pretty good at the moment, it can always be improved, and you cannot know what will happen to you in the future, so it is important to be prepared.

Go with the flow
This is not just another vague self-help book. I am not promising “health, wealth and happiness” just by following a few simple rules, or thinking in the right way, but if you follow the suggestions and gain the knowledge you need you will most certainly show huge improvements in every area of your life.

What I do offer is the opportunity to improve in almost every area, by ‘going with the flow’ of the universe instead of trying to constantly swim against the current. Take advantage of other people’s research, trials and errors and mistakes, to help plan and design your own life to run in tune with the Universe instead of constantly fighting against it.

Universal Laws and the secrets to utilizing their power
Chapter two lists several natural laws, which govern the way the universe works. By gaining some understanding of these laws, and using the valuable tools which are described in Chapter three, you can ease your passage through life, by working with instead of against the universe.

To fully use the tools, you need to have some understanding of the laws which govern the universe. Many people do not know about these laws, and therefore do not discover the tools which could ease their burdens and give them success in their daily life.

My desire in writing this book is to explain these natural and supernatural laws to you, and guide you into using the tools which are available, to ease the stresses and fears in your life and to give you guidance into achieving a more successful and satisfying life for yourself and your family.

The tools described in Chapter three work by taking advantage of these natural and supernatural laws which were put into place at the beginning of time, and they enable us to work with these laws to have peace and joy and deal with almost any situation that we face.

The Construction of the Universe
The Laws of the Universe exist whether you believe in them or not. You could say you do not believe in the Law of Gravity, but if you jump from a high building, Gravity will surely prove itself to you.

The following is only a very simple outline of what we understand about the construction of the universe, but I think it helps to explain how seemingly unconnected things can be linked.

We live in a world which is not what it seems. All matter is made up of atoms, which combine together to form molecules. The atom was thought to be the smallest particle that could exist, but then it was discovered that the atom consisted of a core, or nucleus, with electrons orbiting like moons around it.

The nucleus also consists of Protons and Neutrons, which combine in many different ways to produce all the elements that make up the universe we are familiar with. Just as the atom was originally thought to be the smallest non-divisible unit, so the neutrons and protons until 1968 were thought to be the smallest unit of matter, but with the advent of Quantum Physics, it has been discovered that protons and neutrons also contain particles called quarks, with each proton and neutron containing 3 quarks.

I say that the universe is not what it seems, because all matter is, on a molecular level, mostly space. In an atom, the electrons orbit the nucleus like the moon around the earth, but to give you some idea of scale, more than 20 million hydrogen atoms would take up less than a millimeter, and most of that would be space. Because the protons are electrically charged, the space around them is electrically charged, and is affected by other electrical charges from outside.

This in part explains how thoughts, actions and emotions, which all involve electrical charges, can change and affect the world around us.

The God Particle
“They call it the God particle: a mysterious sub-atomic fragment that permeates the entire universe and explains how everything is the way it is. Nobody has ever seen the God particle; some say it doesn’t exist but, in the ultimate leap of faith, physicists across the world are preparing to build one of the most ambitious and expensive science experiments the world has ever seen to try to find it.” – David Adam, The Guardian, August 21, 2004

Scientists are designing a huge machine, more than thirty kilometers in length, to try to prove the existence of the ‘Higgs Boson’, which they believe is the glue which holds the universe together.

This is just an example of how science is still making new discoveries which change our view of reality and the world and how it works.

What is reality?
What has all this to do with how you feel? Let me explain. In Quantum Physics experiments, scientists have found that energy and sub-atomic particles do not behave in a reliable or predictable manner. These particles are so small, that we only know they are there by the effect they have on surrounding particles. To prove their existence, in effect we have to change them, to see the effect on the surrounding matter.

By changing them, we are actually changing reality, because the changes in the minute particles change the surrounding ones, and so on. This can be said to produce several ‘realities’, where the very act of trying to observe particles changes them such that a new ‘reality’ has been created.

In experiments, scientists have observed these minute energy particles disappear and reappear in a different place. This gives us some indication of the way matter can move around the universe, creating different realities in different places.

What does this mean for you?
This is all very confusing, isn’t it? But I have included it to show that although it doesn’t explain exactly how the laws work, it does show that there is more to reality than we have the capacity in our human brains to understand. Thoughts, for instance, which are electrical charges, even though very weak, can affect other people and even objects as they travel into the ether, and can easily cause a reaction, using the Law of action and reaction.

The Incredible Mind
Our mind is very difficult to understand. Is it contained in our brain? Or does it somehow extend beyond our body? What we do know is that the mind is tremendously powerful, and it is generally recognised that we only utilise a small percentage of its huge capacity.

The Multifaceted Mind
Our mind is split into the conscious, sub-conscious and super-conscious mind. The sub-conscious mind is programmed by influences from the world around us as filtered through the conscious mind, and the sub-conscious mind feeds back to the conscious mind the results of its work on the data supplied. All this will be dealt with in more detail in Chapter four, but for now we need to understand that our reality is as we perceive it, and can be influenced and changed by our thoughts.

Just because we can’t see a particular power it does not mean that it isn’t there and that it can’t work. In the same way that electricity can’t be seen, we know it exists because of cause and effect. Turn on a light switch and the bulb lights up. The electricity cannot be seen activating the light, but we know it has worked. Mind power in the form or cause of prayer, speech, affirmations and thoughts can’t be seen to be working but during the passage of time the effect can be seen, felt and measured.

When we are thinking normally and telling ourselves to write or do the ironing we can see that the mind is working and directing our muscles to activate our hands to perform the tasks we have thought about. Thinking about future things can also put actions into motion through the power of our subconscious mind. There is obviously a time-lapse before we can measure the thought versus the actions that they produce, so we do not so easily see the correlation between the thought process and the result, and the strength of the result depends on the intensity and duration of the thoughts which caused it.

Scientifically we have to put our mind to work and experiment to prove to ourselves that these actions do produce the desired effects into our lives.

Because thoughts can affect others, people can sometimes pick up your thoughts without knowing it, and act upon them. This is one of the ways that your thoughts change the world around you. You may think this is impossible, but it is widely accepted. For instance, how many times have you thought of a person only to have them telephone you shortly afterwards? These ‘powers’ are often more evident in the case of emotional trauma, such as accidents, anger or illness, suggesting that emotion plays a big part in the efficiency of the mind.

We have to be responsible for every thought we think and every word we speak   because, like it or not, they have a huge effect on the happiness we experience. The mind is like a radio transmitter that is constantly sending messages to our subconscious, other people, to God, and into the universe. It makes sense to recognise this and start to train ourselves to be in a position to receive the very best outcomes that we want to experience in our lives.

Body, Soul, Spirit
Human beings consist of body, soul and spirit. Our body experiences the world physically, our soul consists of our ego or personality, which affects the way our body interacts with the world and our spirit, is the part of us that interacts with the Holy Spirit and other people’s spirits, regulating the reactions of our soul. You may question this, but I am sure you have experienced instances when you have met someone for the first time, and either taken an instant liking to them, or have felt something, usually something you can’t explain, which makes you feel uneasy. This is your spirit interacting with their spirit.

We were created to have dominion over the world and its resources. It is only through poor management of these resources that the world suffers famines and lack. If we can learn to live in harmony with the universal laws, we can enjoy a life of abundance, good health and happiness.

Wouldn’t you want to know how to change your life to a more consistent one of happiness and abundance, one of plenty, love and joy? It is possible to achieve this, but it takes time and effort, on a consistent basis to succeed. It takes time and practice to change old habits to produce new ones that are much more enjoyable and workable. Start to practise the Laws that will bring you the life that you desire now. Don’t put it off another day!

Hackers escalate cyber war against Israel
Israel continues to face cyber terrorism as a network of Saudi Arabian hackers, known by the name “nightmare group,” managed to shut down the websites of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Israel’s national airline, El Al.

A group of Israeli hackers named “Israel Defenders” struck back by bringing down the websites of Saudi Arabia’s monetary agency and Abu Dhabi’s security exchange. Israeli and Saudi hackers have been going back and forth with cyber attacks for a number of weeks.

Saudi hacker 0xOmar (not to be confused with the Israeli hacker known as 0xOmer) has warned that he will continue the cyber-attacks against Israel until the Israeli government apologizes for the “genocide of the Palestinian people.” A pro-Israeli hacker named Hannibal shot back that if the Saudis continue their attacks, he could retaliate by publishing banking information of four million Arabs as well as credit information of ten million Arabs.

Cyber attack now joins violence, propaganda, and political warfare as another tool for Israel’s enemies to use against her. Like it or not, Israelis will have to adjust to this new reality. If the actions of Israel’s cyber warriors are any indication, they already are.
