Yishai Fleisher Interviews Orit about The Settler and the Gaza War

I challenge radio host Yishai Fleisher about his faith in Israel’s strength on a recent interview on his show in Voice of Israel. We talk about the evacuation from Gush Katif, the gap between the culture of Tel Aviv and the culture of Gush Katif, and Israel’s dangerous sentimentalism.

Netanyahu has failed the people of Israel

I recently sent out this letter to my list. Read the rest here. Dear friends,As you know we are on the fourth or fifth (can’t keep track) sham ceasefire that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has brokered with Hamas terrorists. This means the leader of the Jewish world has negotiated and trembled before bloodthirsty, genocidal maniacs. We in Israel are outraged. We know we are not safe. We know it’s a matter of time until rockets slam into our cities again, killing our women, children, men and soldiers. The people of Israel are willing to put their lives at risk for a real, solid victory, which Netanyahu has proven that he is unable to bring. He is not willing to completely crush Hamas and build the deterrence of the country, most probably due to fear of world opinion and who knows what kind of political and economic extortion by US President Barack Obama. What’s worse – he doesn’t seem to know what victory is. Victory is not mere “quiet.” Victory is joy. Victory is our strength and pride as a people who have self-respect, sovereignty and complete safety. Victory is Hamas’ surrender, not Hamas’ victory party.

Don’t Pray for the Missing Soldier

[Warning: This post is not for the faint of heart.] I’m not going to begin this post by saying that I’m praying for the return of the missing IDF soldier, Hadar Goldin. I’m not. (But read on.) Immediately when we heard of his abduction by Hamas terrorists, calls for prayer on Facebook were louder than the Muslim calls for prayer that come through the Palestinian mosques happily annoying their Jewish neighbors. This is also what happened when Gilad, Naftali and Eyal were abducted. Everyone prayed. Everyone doled out their Hebrew names so we could say Tehillim, Psalms, in their honor. Looking back, how useless were those prayers? Not only were the boys not returned, but they were already dead when people were praying for them! People were praying for corpses, and no one knew it at the time. Prayer is a natural reaction to the helplessness we feel when tragedy strikes. Prayer makes us feel we’re doing something. It connects us with the fate of the victim, which is noble and kind. Collective prayer causes unity, which could be valuable in creating change. But prayer is usually just as useless as the “hope” enshrined in Israel’s anthem. It’s passive. It’s mystical. It’s sentimental. If you want to make an effective prayer, then don’t make just say, “God, safeguard him and bring him back.” Hamas has cut off any communication lines with the God of Israel. At best, state an intention:

Muslims Promote “Let the Jordan Run” Temple Mount Music Video

This is the kind of hatred were are dealing with. While Jews only ask to pray, these Muslim haters ask to kill. Where is the Muslim outrage at the calls for genocide by their co-religionists? Do they stand by this? Do they believe in religious tolerance? #LetJewsPray The lowlife YouTube comments reveal that the “conflict” in Israel isn’t about a strip of territory, it’s about Muslim intolerance that is coddled. This is the atmosphere that encourages cold-blooded murder and kidnapping of Israelis and Jews. #LetJewsPray I thank the haters for raising awareness of Muslim intolerance by spreading the video through social media, calling for Jewish subjugation and death. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=312045045586754&set=a.201466739977919.19424.201132936677966&type=1&permPage=1 Let’s not forget the tweets, either: @irenerabinowitz @Oritar U are the most disgusting humans @ earth!

The warped narrative of Ami Kaufman and the fringe Left of Israel

Firstly, I’d like to thank Ami Kaufman, a blogger at the radical Left +972, for his constant encouragement and for promoting my YouTube videos. Without his first post seeking to trash my famous “Jews Can’t Stop” Miley Cyrus parody, I might not have achieved a wider platform to promote my views (to as far as the UK) on human freedom, Jewish pluralism, Arab-Israeli coexistence, and the respect of individual rights as a means to end the Israeli/Palestine conflict. Ironically, even +972 was open enough to allow for refreshed dialogue when it posted my piece “Can a Settler Be Against the Occupation?” I thought perhaps my new video, “Protect You,” might open his cold heart, that feeling the plight of a little girl crying to her father to protect her from rocket fire might elicit some compassion from a man who poses as a “humanitarian.” The Twitter conversation ensued, revealing his warped narrative and the psyche of a man who would probably love to see all Jewish settlers shot in a ditch, including women and babies. He was none-to-happy that I caught him in his tactics, so here he goes again, trying to “expose” me when he only further exposed his hatred for Israel and his strange anti-Israel bedfellows. Seeking to discredit me and my new video “Protect You,” he wrote in “The warped narrative of a settler – and of mainstream Israel”: It’s the narrative of government after government for
