Who is Doron Keidar? (Video)

So who exactly is Doron Keidar? The following video (h/t JewishIsrael) says it all. He is a zealous missionary. So why would Zehut's Moshe Feiglin participate in an evangelical convention in Jerusalem with such a spiritual predator? Is this the meaning of Jewish leadership? It wasn't that many years ago that a Doron Keidar would have been bounced out of the country on his head. Those days are gone. Today, he has the support of the highest levels of government, and the friendship of religious Jews. This is the problem.

"Cry For Am Yisrael": Portrait of A Chillul Hashem

Reminder: When Jews in public positions who fancy themselves leaders, make bad decisions which adversely affect Am Yisrael, EVERY concerned Jew has an obligation to address the outrage and call out the culpable party. Failure to do so renders one a silent partner in chillul Hashem. I am sure that Moshe Feiglin has many merits. But the intention of this article is to show that he lacks the requisite abilities for Torah based Jewish leadership.

On Chanukah, G-d-fearing Jews recall the legacy of Maccabee heroism and Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of Hashem's Name). Those of us who are fortunate to live in Israel have opportunities to witness and partake of great things to sanctify G-d's Name. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. The holiest place in the world is precisely where the greatest defilement of Torah values can occur. And because of our sins, this is commonplace today. 

On December 5th, 2018, we witnessed such an outrage against Hashem, when an interfaith convention was held at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center. It was even worse. In an age of social media, the sin was live-streamed to the entire world. We cannot calculate the extent of this vulgar display. Who knows how many millions of evangelical Christians witnessed religious Jews and one prominent religious politician, participate in a public event with renowned missionaries?

In the aftermath of this egregious chillul Hashem, I listened closely and I heard tumbleweeds. The sound of silence, save for a few brave voices who addressed the event and were largely excoriated on Facebook by the kinds of people who support such events. The outrage of the Torah community was non-existent.

Moshe Feiglin of the religious "Zehut" party spoke at the event. In fairness, Feiglin wasn't the only religious Jew involved in this disgrace. Many of the names in attendance are heavily involved in such forbidden relationships. Ari Abramowitz spoke. So did Yisrael Medad. And Tuly Weisz of course, the Director of the notorious interfaith organization Israel365. Other posts will deal with these and other religious participants. 

But this post is focused on Moshe Feiglin because he aspires to become Prime Minister of Israel one day. Forget about the likelihood of such an occurrence (it will never happen). He wants to be a leader. So his participation is even more egregious since it shows the kind of leader he would be. A Jewish leader has to be willing and able to combat Esau and Ishmael. Again we deal with issues of spiritual and physical survival. Clearly, Feiglin doesn't understand the missionary problem in Israel and abroad, and his participation speaks volumes about the kind of weak-kneed approach he would take to evangelical missionaries. Frankly, I don't understand why Feiglin ever left the Likud.  If he was going to sleep with Esau, he could have always remained with Likud, where such affairs are commonplace, public, and acceptable. And they are so much better at it.

So much for Feiglin’s past claims that he opposed such unholy associations. Baloney. And where are all those die-hard Feiglinites today who insisted that Feiglin opposed these problematic relationships? Over the years, more than a few people castigated us when we called him out for his past dalliances with questionable personalities. Anyone remember Joel Bell? (JewishIsrael) At the time, his defenders rose up with righteous indignation to defend him. These were innocent mistakes, we were told. Feiglin himself assured people that he would be more careful in the future. 

Furthermore, there were more recent issues relating to certain personalities who were chosen to be in Zehut. There was silence when we questioned the inclusion of those who are highly involved with halachically prohibited interfaith endeavors. Again we were told by certain Feiglinites that these issues were being addressed behind the scenes. What will they say now? Will they call for Feiglin's ouster from Zehut? I haven't heard anything from any of his supporters since his shameful participation at the convention last week. 

It all makes more sense now. The writing is on the wall and those with Torah based common-sense can read it. It is clear to me and to many others that Feiglin's Zehut Party is desperate for money. I think it is reasonable to assume that the Jewish well ran dry after a 14 year failed experiment with Likud. And in the aftermath of that debacle, Feiglin seems to have made a pragmatic decision to hold hands with evangelicals, since they are generous and their money never runs dry. They are always eager to share it with religious Jews. Only a man of principles and integrity would reject such pragmatic resources. The kind of person who might indeed be fit to lead. 

Who is Doron Keidar? Here are some naked facts, without exhausting this issue. 

• FACT: Doron Keidar is a notorious missionary.

• FACT: "Cry For Zion" is a missionary organization. 

• FACT: Most of the speakers in attendance were missionaries.

Feiglin's attendance and participation speak volumes about his ravenous political ambitions. He is unfit for Jewish leadership. No sane Jew who truly gave a damn about these issues would participate in an event with Keidar. It also shows arrogance. He doesn't give a damn. He believes he can weather the resistance of the cadre of Jews who give a damn about these things.

Remember this when the next elections come around: This past Chanukah, on December 5th, 2018, Moshe Feiglin publicly chose Brother Esau as his partner.

A personal message for Moshe Feiglin: 

Shame on you. When it was time to become a Maccabee you became a mouse. On the night of Chanukah when we recall the heroism of fighting Hellenism, you contaminated the oil and defiled the Temple at a missionary convention. I ask you one question, Moshe. What would the Kohen Gadol Matityahu have done were he within arm's reach of a rasha m'rusha such as Doron Keidar? Don't answer the question. Heaven forbid the walls may be listening.  

Kipah or not, we Jews don't need such religious "Temple Mount" activists. On the contrary. Such a Mikdash would be unfit to enter. The oil would be contaminated.

"Zehut": Soft On Missionaries?

Moshe Feiglin & “Zehut” should be ashamed. Hitching their cart to someone so brazen about flaunting his friendship with spiritual predators like Jim Garlow, Hayovel, & others.

Who Let Them In? Part II (Stop Hayovel Podcast)

As I promised, in this podcast, I call out Zehut's Moshe Feiglin for his hypocrisy in his April article: https://www.zehutinternational.com/single-post/2018/04/27/PM’s-Serious-Identity-Blunder. By all means, Feiglin should call out Benjamin Netanyahu for hiring Youtube missionary Hananya Naftali, and for Bibi's general association with evangelical missionaries. But in the interest of consistency, he should first make sure that his own house is in order. If he calls out Bibi, then he needs to bounce Yishai Fleisher out of Zehut for his known associations with missionaries such as Robert Stearns, Mike Isley, Micke Huckabee, Glenn Beck, Jim Garlow, and Hayovel. I'm sick and tired of hearing (more than a few murmurings from insiders who are sensitive to this issue) about elements within Zehut (some in the hierarchy) who are tending to the "problem". If Feiglin is any sort of leader, he needs to deal with this immediately.

Who Let Them In? Part I (Podcast)

My reflections on the sudden feigned concern about missionaries, coming from certain "hasbara" circles. Ironically, some of the loudest voices come from those self-appointed religious voices who collaborated with evangelical missionaries. A foundation for a series of future audio posts providing further analysis. Warning: No quarter will be given. Part II will address Moshe Feiglin's (Zehut party) April article which addressed this outrage. My problem with Feiglin is one of intellectual honesty and integrity. Is Zehut's house really clean itself? https://www.zehutinternational.com/single-post/2018/04/27/PM’s-Serious-Identity-Blunder

Evangelical Missionaries: Who Let Them In? Part I

Benjamin Netanyahu’s hiring of YouTube "sensation" Hananya Naftali as his new deputy social media adviser is disgraceful. As a notorious online missionary, Hananya Naftali's brazen admissions of proselytizing while in the IDF are well known. This disgraceful act from Bibi proves once again, that even in an era of anti-Torah values where anything seems possible, there are always lower levels of chillul Hashem that a society can succumb to. It exposes how far Israel's leadership has fallen. This is well beyond the challenges of secularism as it relates to a Jewish society, albeit one that very far from a Torah society. This speaks of basic Jewish identity and self-respect, so necessary for us to survive as a religio-nation. In short, when a spiritual predator of Jews whose proselytizing efforts are documented on video, can nevertheless be hired by a prime minister of Israel, something is indeed very wrong with the Jewish psyche. 

This is what happens after years of sleeping with evangelicals. Sleeping with the enemy is bad enough when it's just a one night stand. The torrid love affair with evangelicals is an enduring one.

Contrary to what too many brain-addled daati-leumi types think, evangelical money doesn't come free. The cost is high: a growing missionary presence in Israel that is more sophisticated, ambitious, and powerful than it was even five years ago. Thanks to Jewish collaboration. The reaction from the enemy is nauseating. Gloating and celebration.

The messianics and missionaries (in Israel and abroad) are celebrating because they know that missionaries are normalized in Israeli society and by the Israeli government. They understand that not only is Hananya Naftali no longer viewed as toxic, he is seen as a friend and an advocate for Israel. If in the past, Israel's anti-missionary laws were weak and ineffectual, they are entirely impotent today. Once upon a time, decent traditional secular Israelis would have wept. Today, more than a few religious Jews couldn't care less. Some are even glad.

In the aftermath of this perversion, certain voices rose up in outrage. Outrage is correct and understandable. But when did they wake up? And have they really? As I noted, the Likud has been in bed with missionaries for years. So it was inevitable that a friendly online missionary would become mainstreamed in an age of mindless, blathering, pandering, hasbara. Why not? Naftali “defends” Israel on YouTube. This is the end-goal, so why should hasbarites be surprised.

Yet the chutzpa of certain voices is beyond the pale.Some of the voices of outrage come with those who collaborate & collude with evangelicals. From the kinds of people who write books with missionaries, engage and dialogue with them, and even have tanach sessions in Knesset. Consider Rivka Adler Lambert and her "Ten For The Nations" book, which has chapters written by missionaries. She had the nerve to recently open her mouth on Facebook about Naftali. Shortly afterwards, she deleted the post when some of us "hijacked" her wall (the precise word used by an anti-missionary activist who disliked our aggressive approach) and demanded accountability from her. As these respectable types see it, Lambert should be praised. I believe that it is a clever diversion by a guilty party who is trying to sanitize her credentials from odious associations.

Similarly, Zehut's Moshe Feiglin has no credibility when he opines on Naftali yet ignores Zehut's Yishai Fleisher's enduring friendship with Hayovel missionaries, and his regular participation in the Knesset's tanach sessions with evangelical soul-snatchers. Such Torah sessions are well beyond the pale of anything acceptable in Torah society, and as such they are a clear violation of Rav Soloveitchik's strong position against any form of interfaith dialogue as expressed in his classic essay, "Confrontation". I am still waiting for JewishIsrael to explore Feiglin's failure to address this troubling issue. After all, JewishIsrael has written extensively on these issues in the past.

Take the hasbara blog Israellycool as another example. They celebrated Hananya Naftali until they could not. But even then, they gave him a slap on the wrist and refused to really tear into him. They attacked me relentlessly for calling out their soft handed approach. They never mentioned that "The Israel Project" still uses him, or gave it to "StandWithUs" for merely scrubbing him from their system. That would be hasbara suicide. The "Elder of Zion" blog had him listed for their coveted "hasby awards" in 2017. In the interest of complete candor, they recently published Varda Epstein's article against Hananya Naftali. Although it was a flawed effort which neglected many of the more difficult questions, it is nevertheless interesting that it wasn't featured on Israellycool, where her past articles were given a forum. 

My understanding is that Israellycool is now reticent to address Hananya Naftali, further proving my point that they have no spine or integrity. They get angry at me for my past assertions regarding their craven platform, and they then confirm my arguments. I am no mind-reader, but they are as predictable as the sunrise. Their mindset is clear. If it is good enough for the Prime Minister of Israel, what is any self-respecting hasbarite to do? Fight the PM and call him out? This would be a shanda for the goyim!

And even were Israellycool to go after Naftali they have a dilemma. What kind of credibility can they have, when they still ignore their own contributor Kay Wilson’s documented messianic past which she has never admitted. They will scream slander in the face of unread, ignored, evidence, yet once upon a time they made an interesting claim themselves. At the time of the incident, when she was unknown and they had no relationship with her, they were eager to get the scoop, and the following comment was posted on their blog. I bet they wished they hadn't been so ambitious. 

And what of the so-called experts who defend a Kay Wilson while touting their so-called credentials and ignore the naked facts of an unrepentant former(?) messianic?Self-proclaimed expert, Penina Taylor comes to mind. Personally, I have no patience for such disingenuous behavior. Ms. Taylor might benefit from further investigation into Kay Wilson, starting with JewishIsrael's article "Will The Real Kishkush Stand Up?" To date, Penina Taylor has never presented a public refutation of the article's contents. As I see it, her sanctimonious assurances of having "vetted" Kay (as articulated in her Times of Israel article, "The Witch Hunt") are devoid of any credibility, if she cannot answer questions. 

Tragically, certain individuals and organizations today who previously fought these issues, were bullied into submission over the years. Some of them are reticent to address these troublesome issues. Some pop up from time to time to offer their expertise. More than a few nakedly pander to the same forums and personalities who bashed them yesterday. (We have screenshots.) My advice to these weathered veterans. Call them all out, or shut your mouths and go away. Or do what the mainstream hasbara forums do and blog about celebrities and the BDS movement. But don’t lecture the few who are consistent and unafraid to demand equal accountability from everyone. It is normal to be broken by bullies, and to lose resolve. It is a tragic, but normal human reaction in the face of unrelenting bullying. If this is the case, retire gracefully and go away. Because one responds to bullies by punching their lights out, not by appeasement. 

I want to reiterate that’s Hananya's hiring is indeed an outrage and the kind of thing that should destroy a coalition (were there principled traditional/religious Jews in Bibi's coalition). Every day, the chillul HaShem grows stronger, and because he can, Bibi will continue to do what he wants. A simple and attainable goal would be to demand Naftali's firing. It will require extraordinary muscle, and I fear that at this point the collective Jewish voice is atrophied. 

In truth, the only voices that can argue such a position in good conscience are those whose conscience is clear. Not from those shtetl syndrome types who grovel before goyim and seek arrogant token gentiles to "defend" them with un-Jewish arguments. And not from those timid "hasbarites" who pine for popular attention and yearn for those coveted "hasby" awards.

To be continued......

David Wilder's "Hayovel" Revelation

"The head Pharisee in Har Bracha approves of our work!"

Several years ago, noted Hebron activist David Wilder wrote an article where he correctly identified Tommy Waller and his "Hayovel" ministry as missionaries. After assessing the evidence and internalizing Waller's own damning words and actions, David Wilder was honest enough to reconsider his previous friendship and inform the public. It was evident to Wilder that Waller was bad news. The fact that David Wilder no longer comments on this issue today is unfortunate, but he has never retracted his words. And even if he did, what would that mean? Clearly, at the time of his admission, he was terribly disturbed by Waller and his terrible ruse.

Today we have so much more damning evidence on the Waller clan, and yet too many Jews continue to court and befriend this terrible missionary organization. These deluded types are easily duped by false smiles and assertions of brotherly love. Read about David Wilder's candid revelation in JewishIsrael's article: http://jewishisrael.ning.com/page/david-wilder-retracts-on-cufi-article

Here is an excerpt from Wilder's article:

"We spent quite a nice day together, and talked quite a bit. Tommy seemed somewhat upset about the fact that some Jews in Israel suspect him of missionary work, which he denied vigorously. I was a little taken aback by the seeming defensiveness of his comments, numerously repeated. I was also a little upset when he suggested that the dialogue he initiated, also be carried over into the ‘messianic Christian’ community in Israel . ‘Messianics’ are former Jews who have accepted jesus as a deity.  I told him that this wasn’t a very good idea; that these people are very dangerous, actively and deceptively attempting to convert Jews, and that any contact with them was to be rejected. He didn’t answer, but didn’t look overly happy with my comments.  I let it pass."

Commentary: The first notion that something was wrong. Most Hayovel supporters usually bury their heads in the sand at this point and they begin to make rationalizations.

"A few days ago I received information about ‘my friend’ Tommy Waller, that almost made me sick to my stomach. I found information directly tying him to David Ortiz, a ‘messianic jew’ living in Ariel (where Tommy and his family also live). Oritz’ son Ami was injured in a bomb blast, an attack allegedly perpetrated by Jack Teitel.  He was badly hurt, but recovered. Waller posted numerous ‘updates on Ami Oritz’ condition, as can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/EMeMS.  Note some of his terminology, which is frequently used by such ‘messianics.’

The Waller family is also prominently featured in Korean-made movie about Ortiz called ‘Restoration,’ and extremely anti-Israel, anti-Semitic feature, parts of which can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/60m1N."

Commentary: Wilder's gut reaction receives confirmation. But there was more to come.

"However, the icing on the cake is from a movie about the Waller family, that they helped produce. Called, ‘a journey home,’ about 35 minutes into the film: Tommy’s son Brayden says: “we work in their (Israeli’s) fields, we visit in their homes, and we pray that god will use us to have an impact on families we come to know and love in Israel …”

Tommy: “For us, sharing the gospel is not only verbal, it has an action to it. It’s based on relationships, that’s the impact I think we can have on the nation of Israel . It’s just one family at a time or one person at a time. As we’re working with these people, we’ll be able to share with them this jesus that we know, and it’s not going to be something that, ok, we don’t really trust you guys. They’re going to know us.”

This is an extremely accurate description of what the Wallers have been doing here in Israel : building up personal relationships with people, one at a time, earning their trust. They do it quite well. They fooled me!"

An excerpt from the above referenced documentary "A Journey Home":

Shouldn't Yishai Fleisher have a conversation with Wilder?

In light of the evidence, we have another troubling issue to contend with. Zehut's Moshe Feiglin needs to explain to the public why Hayovel supporter Yishai Fleisher is running for a slot in his party. And I don't want to hear about freedom of expression and libertarian values. The Torah understood free will better than any proponent of libertarianism. And no person involved with evangelicals and missionaries should be associated in any way with a Jewish party. Fleisher can rant all day and troll this blog ( he has) about how he is "more anti-missionary than we are". The facts remain facts and if Fleisher won't be honest, Moshe Feiglin wil have to address the issue eventually. Because there is a small army of Jews who don't give a damn that the craven masses are afraid to stand up to a handful of self-serving Jewish bullies whose actions (whether misguided or not) are endangering the Jewish people. I would venture to say that this is a greater issue than the legalization of cannabis in Israel. 

Some final questions for Moshe Feiglin, or anyone qualified to speak on behalf of Zehut:

• What is your position on interacting with evangelicals, missionaries, messianic movements and the like? Do you approve of taking money and forming alliances with such groups? What Rabbi or Torah figure do you refer to when assessing these issues as it relates to your organization?

• What is your position on Hayovel? Does Zehut support their efforts? If not, how can you reconcile Yishai Fleisher's involvement in the party? Fleisher also has associations with Mike Huckabee (who supports the missionary organization "One For Israel") and was even photographed with notorious missionary Mike Isley.

• Why is the issue of interfaith relations, dialogue, and associations not addressed prominently in Zehut's platform?

• Why are there internal rumblings (we are aware of them) in Zehut over this issue, and why should these murmurings not concern Jews who might consider voting for Zehut?

Please answer these pressing questions, Moshe. Because we will continue to ask them. Rosh Hashana draws near. And these troubling problems are the spiritual equivalent of the Arab/Islamic threat. The Jewish soul is in danger in Eretz Yisrael. Hayovel is a primary player on the scene today, and they have tentacles in the Shomron. I would hope that Zehut doesn't decide to ignore and whitewash these issues, and thus perpetuate the scourge of corruption involving Jewish collusion with missionaries.

When Blessings Become A Curse

H/T Tomer Devorah for sharing this video: Portrait of "Hayovel" missionaries perverting our sacred Sukkot with pagan mockery, all in the worship of their man-god. A grotesque spectacle of xtian women co-opting the dress and head-coverings of religious Jewish women. Bearded men waving lulavim, flailing them about with fervor, as they sing their songs of praise for idol worship. All under the confines of a Sukkah, nestled in the confines of the closed religious community of Har Bracha. Funny, how the Har Bracha website makes no mention of missionaries dwelling in the yishuv.

Pagans love garish, outlandish, spectacles. This immediately comes to mind:

• How many religious Jews in Israel and abroad know what is happening in Har Bracha and the greater Shomron region, as evangelical missionaries plant their roots and work on forming "relationships" with Jews?
• How many religious rabbis are aware of this sin? How many open their mouths and scream out in outrage?
• Does anyone really give a damn?

Who would have thought such a thing possible? 

As always, we ask the question: Who let them in? In this particular case, the town's Rabbi, R Eliezer Melamed, gave Hayovel permission (and his blessing!) with his radical halachic psak (hebrew original) English version). JewishIsrael's Rabbi Sholom Gold's excellent response can be found here: http://jewishisrael.ning.com/profiles/blogs/jumping-the-geula-gun-a-response-by-rabbi-sholom-gold-to-rabbi-el

Daati-Leumi Gone Wild? Or are they just plain mad?

Shabbtai Tzvi would have a field day with this unbridled messianic fervor,which has much more in common with xtianity than anything remotely Jewish. Spitting on G-d's miracles and the miracle of Eretz Yisrael. Brother Esau sure knew what he was doing when he put down his bloody sword and put on his cowboy hat. All he needed were unscrupulous Jews, and a big sack of gelt. 

And then the enablers of these evangelical asps have the nerve to complain to us about our website featuring a "Wall of Shame"! What would King David and Hezekiah have done with Hayovel, and how would they address those Jews who gave them a foothold in the land? What about Elijah? The early Chashmonaim? What would the Gaonim, Rishonim, and Acharonim say? This is an unprecedented chillul Hashem in Jewish history. Where in our history did religious Jews allow missionaries to set up shop in a Torah community?

"They aren't missionaries, our detractors claim." They need to open their damn eyes already. Stop playing games with us. The evidence is overwhelming. Hayovel are spiritual predators.

"Wall of Shame"? Appropriately titled. And to those who have a problem with it, if the shoe fits, hit yourself in the head with it. The Wall of Shame is for those with zero shame. Zehut's new golden-boy Yishai Fleischer recently came on this blog to hurl insults and lies, without addressing the issues we raise. Evidently, he would rather rail against JewishIsrael and others (including us) who call out everyone who has a hand in this sin. 

Yishai Fleischer seems upset. Perhaps he deemed the #8 slot in the Zehut primaries to be an insult? Perhaps he wants to skate from his associations? Perhaps he is unhappy that there are cracks in Zehut's camp? In any event if Zehut's Moshe Feiglin wants to prove that he cares more about the missionary issue in Israel than the ever pressing issue of cannabis legalization, the public needs to know why a supporter of Hayovel and Mike Huckabee is even in the party.

As I always say, it isn't personal, It's just halacha. I am pleased to hear from inside sources that there is discontent in the ranks of Zehut's followers. Some are wondering the very same thing. And many are bothered. It won't go away by itself. And perhaps the Zehut stage will be another vehicle to expose the evil Waller family and their nefarious agenda.

May the names and memories of the Waller family be obliterated.
