"And the world was filled with Hamas" (gen. 6:11)
"And The World was Filled with Hamas" (Gen. 6:11) The Weekly
Torah Portion in the Light of the Jewish Idea by Nachum Shifren|
While most of Israel is shaking their hands nowadays about the
Hamas election fortunes, a few of us recall the prophetic words
of Rabbi Kahane (HY"D) in the 1988 Knesset elections: "In the
next elections there are only 2 people running: Myself and
Arafat. You don't want me? Then you'll get Arafat!" Outrageous.
Preposterous. Chutzpah. Those were some of the positive
reactions of his detractors. Now we see and now we understand
the import of his prophesy.
However, the rise to fame and fortune of these dogs (sons of
dogs) was really quite predictable. In addition, coincidentally,
so is the fall of what we call the present State of Israel. When
did it start? After the miraculous, Divinely inspired victory in
the Six-Day-War of 1967, the Lubavitcher Rebbe gave a press
release stating that Israel would give back everything: Judea,
Samaria, and Jerusalem (see p. 1, "Peace, Peace, But There is no
Peace"). Moshe Dayan tripped over himself to give the keys of
the Temple Mount to the Wakf, the Muslim cleric responsible for
the Al Aksa mosque (may it burn in Hell- speedily in our days!).
The G-dless Israeli dwarfs snatched defeat out of the jaws of
victory. Embarrassed? You bet they were! Their sense of unease,
self-debasement out of being "chosen", "special" was palpable.
And the Arabs? They expected to be slaughtered-and rightly so.
For months afterward, they were in dread about Jewish revenge
upon them for their hysterical calls of "Itbach al Yahud!"
("Slaughter the Jews!") emanating from every mosque in the Arab
world. Right around that time, Jewish guilt started to do its
thing, accompanied by the usual hand wringing, self- doubt: "We
can't have a wave of Arab deportees, what will the world
think?", "We are not Nazis, we're Jews after all!"
The cowering, head-bowed Arab, once ready to accept an
inevitable decree from the hand of Hashem- slowly understood
whom he is dealing with. He is witness to an insane people,
giving up their lives, property, and sovereignty, step-by-step,
practically without firing a shot. He understands that this
former "people of the book" has been transformed into a "people
under GW and Condi"- both of whom they will eventually kill as
well.
We are a sick people--addicts of Western culture and idolatry.
We are like Pharaoh, who in this weeks Torah portion, exclaims,
"Who is G-d that I should listen to Him?" The same people that
spawned a Itzchak Rabin ("The Temple Mount has the same sanctity
as a tennis court") has now, in a total affront to logic and the
will to survive, declared as its "peace partner," a gang whose
only disagreement is how we should be slaughtered. They openly
say it. They mean it. They don't apologize for it. They've told
us over and over: "Israel is Palestine, Jerusalem is its
capital." And as addicts, before we recover, we have to hit rock
bottom. Sleeping in his own urine and excrement, the addict at
some point decides he's had enough. Only then can we possibly
ask our Father in Heaven for forgiveness for the massive
desecration that we've committed.
"The world was filled with Hamas--total depravity, as Rashi
notes, where perversion even of the animal kingdom was rampant.
Rashi explains that the word Hamas implies sexual perversion and
idol worship, but that prior to the Great Flood, the final
decree to destroy the world wasn't rendered until thievery
became rampant. The desecration and the thievery of the Land of
Israel- by both Arabs and Jewish accomplices- isn't taking place
in a vacuum. It occurs amid a total breakdown of Jewish values
in Israel.
Gay-pride marches, teen drug and alcoholism, violence in the
schools, the kidnapping of religious Yemenite children by the
Jewish Agency, forcing them to live in Marxist kibbutzim- these
are the tip of the Israeli iceberg. As of this writing, our
"peace partners" continue a rain of terror, shooting Kassam
rockets into our cities. In total delirium, we watch, we wait,
we are helpless. After all, how can you have a war with your
peace partners? And what will the Americans think? What can we
do? Moses hints to us after the incredible show of force against
Egypt: "There is no one like our G-d!" If we return to him, He
will surely return to us.
