Cagey Tactics
I’ve noted time and time again the proclivity of the foreign press photographers to convey through their photos the Gaza-as-a-prison narrative. Today we have yet another example.

Note where exactly the photo was taken.
End the Red Cross blockade of Gaza!

Kisufim sings Selichot
The Sephardi Jews have been saying Selichot - forgiveness prayers at daybreak - for over 3 weeks already. Tonight (Sunday morning at midnight), the Ashkenazim join in. Here are my very special friends, the Kisufim trio (Mordechai, Moshe, and Aviel from Tekoa in the Judean desert), singing Selichot in Sephardi style. Enjoy, and have a great Shabbat!

Earl: A Guest in the White House?
Dear Rabbi Brody,
I am a meteorologist and forecast as part of my profession. We look at computer data to forecast the weather, and while this data leaves quite a bit of room for error it still has nevertheless been used with quite impressive results because of H"s sophisticated and orderly conducting of the world and the information he allows us to peek at to see that weather is not random or chaotic but rather an intricate and orderly system that He guides with intense precision and Hasgacha Pratis.
The reason I am emailing you tonight (this morning your time) is because there are some very ominous signs developing over the tropical Atlantic Ocean that I have been monitoring and after a further review of this (and with more data coming in) decided I needed to let you know about this.
A hurricane is developing north of the Virgin Islands. It's name is Earl and its sustained winds are currently sitting at 100mph, with steady intensification occurring. The forecast models over the next several days feature a rather complex weather pattern with varying possibilities...however...the latest data shows this storm to continue to get stronger as it makes a turn toward the Eastern United States. Right now, the prognostic charts still feature the hurricane to stay just off the US East Coast, however, not by much any more. The latest run of one of the forecast models we are looking at shows this hurricane to become possibly very strong as it approaches the Mid Atlantic US from Virginia to New York to Boston around Thursday September 2 and Friday September 3.
This is the time of the US-forced Israel-Palestinian "peace" meeting to be held in Washington D.C.
As always I really appreciate your insight on Lazer Beams, and your message reaches scores of people all over the world. May Hashem bless you and Rabbi Arush as you continue to point people to the Truth, and encourage people to open their eyes! Most sincerely, Ilya, USA
Notice how Hurricane Earl has the shape of a boomerang. Interesting...
Will Earl be an additional guest in the White House? Time will tell...
Update, 12 Noon Israel time, 31 Aug 10:
The U.S. National Hurricane Center just now warned US coastal residents from North Carolina to Maine to watch Hurricane Earl's development closely.
Here's an amazing quote: Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said, "Earl's approach ought to serve as a reminder for Atlantic coastal states to update their evacuation plans."
Look at the connections: September 2, the day of the planned DC Summit aimed at forcing Israel into evacuating large sections of our holy homeland for an illusion of peace is the same day when Earl is expected to hit the US East Coast. Coincidence? Was Katrina a coincidence too, when 850,000 Americans were evacuated from their homes the day after 8,500 Israelis lost their homes in Jewish Gaza?
Heaven forbid that a single person should lose his home. Nevertheless, we all have free choice, and we should be aware that our actions have a strong spiritual cause and effect.

Ten Years On
During the Second Intifada in 2000, the Associated Press published a photograph of an Israeli police officer, baton raised, standing over a wounded man. The photograph’s caption indicated the wounded man was a palestinian, implying that the police officer beat the living daylights out of him. The photograph was disseminated worldwide, in publications such as The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
The bloodied and beaten man’s identity was soon revealed to be Tuvia Grossman, an American Jewish student in Israel, after his father wrote the following to the New York Times:
Regarding your picture on page A5 of the Israeli soldier and the Palestinian on the Temple Mount — that Palestinian is actually my son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago. He, and two of his friends, were pulled from their taxicab while traveling in Jerusalem, by a mob of Palestinian Arabs, and were severely beaten and stabbed.
That picture could not have been taken on the Temple Mount because there are no gas stations on the Temple Mount and certainly none with Hebrew lettering, like the one clearly seen behind the Israeli soldier attempting to protect my son from the mob.
Ten years late, Honest Reporting was able to bring together Tuvia – now a citizen of Israel – with the police officer who saved his life.

Sticking Up For The Jews
Australian media personality Derryn Hinch is well known Down Under as someone who doesn’t pull any punches, even when it gets him in to trouble.
Last week, he discussed on his show a story from my home town of Perth regarding a primary school awarding first prize at a costume party for a student dressed as Adolf Hitler, prompting a number of callers to bash Jews.
Thanks to my friend Roby and with permission from Derryn Hinch himself (who said he’d “be proud” if I posted it), here is the sound of a couple of a**holes being ripped (language warning)

Divestment (2004)
Today's cartoon is only six years old. I came across it but did not remember doing it. And I was struck by the point it made. Especially in light of the growing BDS movement. I decided to do some research. Here's what I found. "During the mid-1970's the United States adopted two laws that seek to counteract the participation of U.S. citizens in other nation's economic boycotts or embargoes. These "antiboycott" laws are the 1977 amendments to the Export Administration Act (EAA) and the Ribicoff Amendment to the 1976 Tax Reform Act (TRA), [which is found in Section 999 of the Internal Revenue Code]." Primary impact:The Arab League boycott of Israel is the principal foreign economic boycott that U.S. companies must be concerned with today. The antiboycott laws, however, apply to all boycotts that are unsanctioned by the United States.Who is covered by the laws?The antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to all "U.S. persons," defined to include individuals and companies located in the United States and their foreign affiliates. These persons are subject to the law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services between the United States and a foreign country. This covers U.S. exports and imports, financing, forwarding and shipping, and certain other transactions that may take place wholly offshore. -more * * * So is the cartoon correct? Are they getting away with possibly illegal secondary boycotts by calling them divestments? -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973
