Ahavat Am Israel
"You must love your neighbor as you love yourself." Vayikra
(Leviticus) 19:18
The Rambam writes (Hilchot De'ot 6:3):
"It is a mitzva for every Jew to love every other Jew like his own
self... Therefore a person must praise his fellow Jew and be careful
with his property the same way he is careful with his own property
and desires to be treated respectfully. Whoever seeks honor through
his neighbor's shame has no portion in the World-to-Come..."
Sefer HaChinuch writes (Mitzva 243 [219]):
"It is a mitzva to love every Jew deeply."
Our Sages said (Eliyahu Rabbah 28):
So said G-d to Israel: "My children! Have I failed to give you
anything? What do I ask of you? Only that you love, respect and
revere one another, and that you avoid all sin, theft and unseemly
behavior."
Our Sages also said (Avot 2:10):
"Let your friend's honor be as dear to you as your own."
"Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor. I am the L-rd."
Vayikra (Leviticus) 19:16
Of this King Solomon said (Proverbs 24:10-12):
If you faint in the day of adversity, your srength is small indeed.
If you forbear to rescue those taken to be killed and those ready to
be slain, if you say, "We did not know," does He Who ponders the
heart not consider it? And He Who keeps your soul, does He not know
it? Shall He not render to every man according to his work?
Similarly, King Solomon said (Proverbs 21:13):
"He who stops his ears at the cry of the poor shall also cry himself
but shall not be answered."
Our Sages said (Shavuot 39a):
"All of Israel (the Jewish People) are guarantors for one another."
When Rav Eliezer became ill (Berachot 28b):
His students came to visit him, and they said, "Master! Teach us how
to live so we can merit the World-to-Come!" He replied, "Be careful
to treat your fellow man with respect."

Anti-Semitism in Israel
Several religious people in Israel, feel the Israeli government is
anti- Jewish. They refer to the early days of the state when the
socialist government of Ben-Gurion, forced many Jews to abandon their
religion. They mention the forced assimilation of the Jews who
immigrated from the Arab and African states into Israel during the
40's and 50's. They also mention the abduction of several hundred
Yemenite babies, and the forced assimilation to which thousands of
young holocaust survivor orphan children where subjected at the
atheistic kibbutzim.
"The Orthodox Jews - black ants"
Today, the attacks upon the religious Jewish population is most
heavily felt in the Israeli media, including newspapers, radio and
TV. This attack is led by leftist politicians from Labor, Meretz, and
others. Meretz has called for violence against religious Jews, and
some of Meretz members proudly refer to themselves as "The Israeli
Nazi Party."
An Israeli institute that keeps track of anti-semitism in the world,
reported at a conference that in the last few years there has been a
significant rise in anti-semitic attacks worldwide. When asked if
they also keep track on the anti-semitic attacks in Israel, the
answer was surprising: "No, we don't do that because we fear our
funding might get cut-off." When asked to explain what she meant, she
replied: "I'm not talking about the Arabs. I'm referring to attacks
originating from the Israeli left. I'm ashamed to say that if the
same standars and definitions were applied in Israel, many left- wing
political statements and media reports would be considered anti-
semitic."
The sucking Jew!
An Orthodox Jew sucking
the blood of a secular jew!
In 1998, Yisrael Eichler, a prominent Haredi spokesman, charged that
many of the stereotypes used by the Nazis against Jews have been
translated into Hebrew and employed to delegitimize the Haredi
(religious) public by the Israeli left. He compared cartoons
appearing in Israeli newspapers, to those used by the Nazis in 1933.
They were identical, except that those in 1933 were referring to the
Jews in general, while the newer ones were about the Haredi Jews.
Yossi Sarid of Meretz immediately demanded that the Attorney-General
prosecute Eichler for his words. Ophir Pines of Labor filed a police
complaint against Eichler and urged that he be barred from journalism
and the media. Apparently, the Israeli Left seems unable to shake its
Bolshevik roots. For them, all is permitted, for their opponents
nothing.
Interviewed by Yediot Aharonot after Eichler's accusations, Moshe
Zimmerman, professor of German history at the Hebrew University,
admitted that Eichler's charges were not unfounded and that "many of
the images of Haredim found in the secular press are drawn from
classical anti-semitic sources, including the Nazis."
Above: "The new enemies!!! "
Underneath: "We should liquidate them
when they are still small!!!"
Fantasies of violence against Haredim abound. Not just anonymous wall
posters, but articles by leading journalists and academics in the
mainstream media. Haredim are dehumanized every day, portrayed as an
undifferentiated mass of black. In Josef Goebbels' propaganda films
images of Hasidim dissolved into images of running rats, and today,
in Israel, Haredim are once again portrayed as subhuman beasts,
breeding like insects. They are "black ants," "humming locusts,"
"crass baboons," "backward barbarians," "forces of darkness."
Once Jews were accused of killing Christian children and drinking
their blood. And today "bloodsucker" is a favored term for Haredim.
In place of body-snatchers, they are accussed of being "soul-
snatchers." The Nazis, in 1943, said that the Jews had to be
destroyed because they are like viruses. And today, the word
"Parasite" has been used so frequently in connection to Haredim that
the two terms have become virtually synonymous.
"Everyone should know what is a Rabbi"
Some have even found in the Haredim retrospective understanding for
the Nazis. "When I see the Haredim, I can understand the Nazis," said
Shulamit Aloni, founder of Meretz and "Peace Now." She sees the
Haredim as having usurped the traditional Jewish role of "taking
advantage of the gentile, trading in his blood, and laughing at him,"
only this time with the secular public in the role of the gentile.
One wonders whether she also sees the secular public in the
traditional gentile role of "avenger" of these outrages.
But how exactly did we arrive to this level of hatred? Even before
the founding of the State of Israel, leftist groups have wanted to
separate the Jews from Torah. The leftist want Jews to forget about
their culture and traditions, and assimilate into the sea of nations.
They are loosing the battle, and so they need to use this Nazi
tacticts.
The bulk of the secular population does not hate Haredim. Although
the control of the political left over the media does have its
negative effect. Two issues exploited by the left are most bothersome
to a large segment of the secular population. One is the refusal of
many Haredi men to serve in the Israeli army, and the other is the
refusal of many Haredi men to work for a living. Both these issues
are misleading and grossly exagerated in the leftist controlled
media, fanning flames of hatred against the Haredi.
According to the Torah, men should serve in the army and also earn
money with their work. So how could this ridicuolus situation have
developed?
During the first years of the State, Ben-Gurion needed the support of
the Haredi Rabbis. He made an agreement with them to grant army
exemptions to Yeshiva students. The Rabbis wanted this army
exemptions to save the Yeshivot. At the time there were only a few
hundred Yeshiva students in Israel, and the Rabbis saw that if they
would be sent to the army at a young age they would loose their
religiosity. Nevertheless, this agreement was valid only for full
time Yeshiva students. If someone will be caught working, he will
immediately be drafted into the army, and loose his Yeshiva
exemption.
Today, the number of full time Yeshiva students has multiplied to
tens of thousands. They still get their army exemptions and cannot go
to work to avoid being drafted. At the same time, the Haredi culture
has developed in a way that any Haredi young man that enlists in the
army is socially banned from the Haredi community. The lack of work
activities for Haredi men has resulted in serious poverty levels for
their families. Actually, the Haredis are suffering more from this
army exemptions than anyone else.
In recent years, a Haredi division has been formed in the Israeli
army. It was created with the approval of leading Haredi Rabbis who
understood that many Haredi boys were unable or unwilling to study
full time in a Yeshiva. The recruits into this unit were mostly
children of Haredi families, who had abandoned Haredi values. The
results of this army program were encouraging. Not only the
participants became better men and more responsible adults in all
respects, but they actually became more religious. Hopefully more
Haredi boys will join this program in the future.
The issue of the religious in the army is misleading. A recent study
shows that over half the combat units in the Israeli army are
religious. These include mainly students in the Yeshivot Hesder
program. High ranking army officials report that these soldiers are
also highly motivated. As opposed to the Haredi decision made several
decades ago, the National Religious Rabbis decided that Yeshiva
students must serve in the army as part of their Yeshiva program.
Hesder Yeshiva students combine their studies with army service in a
five year program. They are the most motivated soldiers, and their
level of Torah learning is actually much higher than in the Haredi
Yeshivot who avoid army service.
At the end of their studies and army service, Hesder Yeshiva
graduates can enroll in University and find employment without any
problems. Haredi students don't have this options because of their
own choice. Furthermore, a growing number of Haredi students is
leaving the Haredi world and abandoning their Torah observance. In
the Haredi world it's either all or nothing. For the National
Religious you can have the best of both worlds, be religious and be a
normal person. Rarely a Hesder Yeshiva student will abandon his Torah
way of life. Hopefully, more Haredi Rabbis will understand the
importance of sending Yeshiva students to the army.
The solution to the two problems mentioned above is clear. Yeshiva
students should attend Hesder Yeshiva programs to serve in the army.
Even better, all secular Jewish soldiers should be able to join
Hesder Yeshiva programs. It should be an army requirement that all
secular soldiers attend at least a 3 month Hesder Yeshiva program, to
clear all the missinformation they may have about Judaism and the
Torah world. Hesder Yeshivot should be used to unite the Jewish
Nation, and create peace and love among fellow Jews.
A more serious problem
The main objective of Ahavat Israel is to bring peace, love and
understanding among fellow Jews. After several years of intensive
research, interviews to thousands of secular Israelis who have
expressed some degree of hatred or complaints about the religious
Jews in general and the Haredis in particular, an interesting pattern
has been uncovered.
What bothers most secular Jews about the religious is the fact that
although the religious claim to live according to higher moral
standards, their actions prove otherwise. In other words, many Haredi
Jews do not behave in accordance to the Torah they claim to observe.
Many examples are readily seen: Smoking is prohibited according to
the Torah, while many Haredis smoke heavily. Young Haredis stand
outside their Yeshivot smoking instead of being inside learning.
Several young Haredis interviewed confessed to having taken drugs and
using prostitutes. The reason they gave was: "The only thing my Rosh
Yeshiva cares about is that I dress in black and white, and I always
wear my hat."
Several Haredi youths critized the Haredi political leadership: "The
goal of the Haredi political parties is to get money for the
Yeshivot, and of course, for their own pockets. They would agree to
anything for money, even giving away our Land to Arab murderers. An
act specifically prohibited in the Torah that is supposed to be
studied in the Yeshivot they finance with the bribes and blood-money
they get from the Israeli government." Obviously, the wrong lessons
are being thought to some Haredi youths.
A growing number of Haredis is involved in criminal activities,
mainly in the areas of financial fraud. A well known fact, most
Haredi Yeshivot falsify the number of students learning in those
institutions, because they receive money from the Israeli government
for each student learning there. The number of false charity
organizations is growing at an accelerated pace, getting money from
unsuspecting people for orphan homes and Yeshivot that don't even
exist.
Several of the Yeshiva and Kollel students getting deferrals for
their army service are actually working illegally, sometimes in their
own businesses. Of course they don't pay taxes because they are
officially studying and don't want to loose their army exemption.
Particularly bothersome was the discovery of shelter homes housing
and protecting young Haredi girls that had been raped by their
father. This was to be kept in secret and not to involve the police,
so the family will not be shamed.
Apparently, the Haredi groups are becoming less Torah observant every
day and more like cults. They abandon the Torah commandments, while
keeping non-Torah based behavior like dressing in black and white.
An extreme example of this phenomenon is the Naturei Karta cult, they
cannot longer be called a Jewish group. Naturei Karta followers are
shown below holding anti-Israel signs and PLO flags during an anti-
Israel protest held on Shabbat in New York City. According to the
Torah, it is prohibited to carry items in a public domain during
Shabbat. These pictures prove that the Naturei Karta don't keep
Shabbat. The other picture shows them having lunch with Louis
Farakhan, a Jew hater in the USA.

protest held on Shabbat
These pictures were used by Farakhan to show off his "Jewish"
friends, and by Islamic-Arab organizations to show that religious
"Jews" also oppose the existence of the State of Israel.
Nevertheless, leading Haredi Rabbis in Israel have called on their
followers to avoid having any contact with members in the Naturei
Karta cult. The Naturei Karta cult members are considered mentally
insane, and obviously have no knowledge of Torah. Naturei Karta is a
splinter group from the Satmar Hassidic group, who wanted to wait for
Moshiach before creating the Jewish State. Even Satmar Hassidim
consider the Naturei Karta's actions today outside of any Torah
values.
In recent years, a few Reformed "Rabbis" have also joined forces with
Israel's enemies and called for Israel's destruction. Where do all
self-hating Jews come from? They are indeed mentally insane. Israeli
self-hating Jews, are the result of a communist based education that
denied all Jewish values. A culture that taught them to hate Torah,
they came to Israel but wanted to assimilate and ignore the Torah
commandments. Naturei Karta are the result of those who wanted to
keep Torah but not come to Israel, they ended up hating those who
came to Israel, and forgot the little Torah they knew. The Reformed
self-hating Jews did not want to live according to the Torah, nor
come to Israel. And this is their pathetic and shameful outcome.
To prevent you from becoming a self-hating Jew, you must learn and
keep the Laws of the Torah. You must also have a strong connection to
the Land of Israel. Jews living in exile should do their maximum
effort to emigrate to Israel. This is a process that may take several
years. And most importantly, you must learn to understand, respect,
and live in peace with your fellow Jew.
