"Rabbis Threaten Kerry
with 'Divine Wrath'"
Dear friends:
See article from Israel below. I believe the rabbis are
correct. Kerry, Obama, et al will suffer God's judgment
for what
they are doing or trying to do to Israel.

Rabbis Threaten Kerry with 'Divine
Wrath'
by Ari Yashar
From Arutz Sheva 7 IsraelNationalNews.com, Daily Israel
Report
A group called Rabbis from the Committee to Save the Land
and People
of Israel sent a letter to US Secretary of State John Kerry
this Sunday,
warning him to end his "antagonism" towards Israel.
The rabbis sharply criticized Kerry for his plans to establish
an
Arab
capital in Jerusalem for Palestinian Authority (PA)
Chairman
Mahmoud Abbas, and to have Israel
withdraw
to the 1949 Armistice lines. On Saturday, Kerry
threatened
Israel with an international boycott if peace talks
fail,
in addition to previous threats of a
"Third
Intifada" last year.
"Your incessant efforts to expropriate integral parts of our
Holy
Land and hand them over to
Abbas’s
terrorist gang, amount to a declaration of war against
the Creator
and Ruler of the universe. For G-d awarded the entire Land of
Israel to
our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in order that they
bequeath it,
as an everlasting inheritance, to their descendants, the
Jewish people,
until the end of all time," opens the rabbis' letter.
The letter was signed by Rabbi Gedalya Axelrod, emeritus head
of the
Haifa Rabbinical Court, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, Chairman of the
Temple
Institute, Rabbi Ben Tziyon Grossman of Migdal Haemek, Rabbi
Shalom Dov
Wolpo, Dean of the Institute for the Complete Code of
Maimonides, and
Rabbi Yigal Pizam, Dean of Yeshivat Kiryat Shmuel.
Warning of the imminent
security
threat that Kerry's plans would place Israelis in, and
bringing the example of Gaza's having turned into a
launching
pad for rockets, the rabbis slammed the plan for seeking
to
immediately uproot "20% of the Jews now living productively in
Judea, Samaria and the Jordan valley."
The letter adds that Kerry's plan "would force tens of
thousands of
Jews to be evicted from their homes and livelihoods,
devastating their
lives financially, economically and psychologically, as
happened to those
expelled from the flourishing Gaza settlements, most of whom
still
suffer from the expulsion’s ruinous after-effects."
Drawing on Jewish history, the letters declares to Kerry: "If
you
continue on this destructive path, you will ensure your
everlasting
disgrace in Jewish history for bringing calamity upon the
Jewish people –
like Nebuchadnezer and Titus who destroyed, respectively, the
first and
second great Temples and the entire Holy City of Jerusalem,
and who, by
Heavenly punishment, brought eventual disaster upon
themselves,
too."
"By the power of our Holy Torah, we admonish you to cease
immediately all efforts to achieve these disastrous agreements
– in order
to avoid severe Heavenly punishment for everyone involved,"
warned
the rabbis.
The letter closed with a reference to the upcoming Jewish
holiday of
Purim, in which the Book of Esther records Haman's genocidal
plots
against the Jewish people were turned against him and he was
"hung
on the very same gallows he had prepared for Mordechai, the
Jew."
Employing the language of scripture, the rabbis warned
“conspire a plan
and it will be frustrated; talk the talk and it will not be
fulfilled,
for G-d is with us" (Isaiah 9:5).
