The Powerful and the Pathetic
By Jason Gold
So it has come to this. In a desperate attempt to salvage their credibility and prove that indeed their vote cannot be bought (but can be rented for a period of time) Shas MK's stand up and proudly proclaim that as soon as the Olmert government begins discussing Jerusalem, they are gone, oops they meant that if discussions continue, then they are gone. And while the insipid dithering goes on and Yahadut HaTorah tells us not to judge them by Shas's decision, eight beautiful Jewish boys are lying dead with 14 wounded after a savage attack at Mercaz HaRav by a so-called "Israeli Arab". Did anyone in Shas or Yahadut ask him if he was a moderate? A supporter of Abbas? Never have the holders of such potential power in their hands to completely reshape the Jewish Landscape, looked so pathetic.
How do you sleep at night Eli Yishai? How do you sleep at night Meir Porush? If only you realized how truly powerful you are; how you could do so much good for all of klal Yisrael; not just those who look like you, dress like you and speak like you but for all. Yet you only care about your constituents; making sure the yeshivas are full and that there are handouts for those who have large families and have no desire to support them. After all, that's what keeps you in power isn't it? So what if you are playing the game of Mr. 3% prime minister and all of those faithless incompetents that have come before them. Your mission is to put more torah scholars on the streets, regardless of cost to country or human life of those who do not vote for you. Your job is do this while alienating the secular Jews that you could draw closer while you hunker down in your shtetel or dhimi mindset and wait for Mashiach to knock on the door. It really makes me wonder if you tell the truth to your revered scholars Rav Ovadia and Rav Elyashav because in my heart I cannot believe if they truly knew what was going on outside the walls of their homes, be it in Bnei Brak, Jerusalem or elsewhere, that they would sanction this. Truly a band of the powerfully pathetic.
From one shomer Totah U'Mizvot Jew to another I ask you Eli and Meir how can you stand this? I can see your rationalization on Sderot, after all it's not Jerusalem. And even leading rabbinic figures at the OU can support your position as they freely admit it is not their place to mix in as they only care about Jerusalem anyway. But now, eight Yeshiva boys lie dead, their blood screaming from the ground for justice. Their families will not sleep well for a very long time. How do you sleep Eli and Meir? You and your cronies sit in a corrupt, Godless government of thugs, shysters and blatant incompetents. You are complicit in murder, you are no better than the savage that slaughtered these boys. You indeed are murderers Eli and Meir. You feign outrage shake your fist and then do nothing. In Rome, men would fall on their swords for allowing this to happen. Where are your swords? You have taken the torah and corrupted it in the most vile way running after money to put more rabbi's on the streets. Do we really need more rabbi's on the streets of Israel today if this is the cost? No, Eli and Meir, you are no better than idol worshippers and murderers no matter how many pages of gemara and zohar you learn every day because of your twisting of the torah. Nothing will change the fact that you enabled what happened today and what has been happening in Gaza all this time, going back to having been bought and paid for by Sharon for the disengagement.
Nothing will change Eli and Meir. Nothing will change until the chillul Hashem of the so-called religious parties in government propping up a kleptocracy such as this is swept out along with the trash that is currently the "ruling elite". Nothing will change until the people realize that they can and must have leadership that is faith-based and cares about ALL the people of Eretz Yisrael. Leadership that restores Jewish pride and Jewish justice. That truly believes that the Jews belong in Eretz Yisrael. That this is our land, God given, not the land of some mythical made-up Arab people. That lets the army do what it is supposed to do regardless of what CNN or the New York Times says. That when all is said and done, we have no real "friends" in the world; that we are destined to be a people apart and not part of so called "western" culture. Go Eli and Meir. Leave the government now with you perks and your bloated salaries and your Volvos and go beg forgiveness from the people of Sderot and the families of these beautiful murdered boys and at their graves. Olmert Livni and Barak won't. Neither will Peres or Beilin or Avineri or the others who have brought death and destruction down on Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael. Repent and perhaps your day of reckoning while not be as severe of the others. Do the teshuva you need to do, for all of us. Be powerful, not pathetic.
