If you have read my blog long enough, you will have noted that I make mention of the fact that I carry Native ancestry. My father’s family is of Nahua (Aztec) ancestry. My mother’s family carries some Cherokee, along with an ancestress whose background is still a mystery. Seems she was half Irish, half Native, from Alabama, and married a white man from a prominent Missouri family, much to his family’s abject horror. I mean, it was the 1800s, so of course the young couple faced some rather harsh discrimination. Nor is it a surprise that her tribal affiliation was never divulged. It happened a lot in those days, sad to say.
Given this, it goes without saying that I do have some rather strong opinions when it comes to the history of this nation, as it relates to the Native tribes that inhabited North America when the Europeans first stumbled across it. For clarification, while I am a proud American patriot, I am also very much a realist. What was done to my ancestors was beyond the pale in terms of horror, brutality, and evil. Make no mistake, I also recognize that those ancestors were doing much the same things to their neighbors, though on an admittedly smaller scale.
Our peoples were lied to, manipulated, and denied their basic human rights in various ways. They were ethnically cleansed from lands that they had occupied for millennia, which is heinous to say the least. Of course, I am referring to what was happening before the Europeans showed up on the scene and joined in the fray. Everyone took turns enslaving, marauding, conquering, and outright destroying each other in a way that clearly shows how and why the Europeans were so easily able to take over. Our ancestors had only themselves to blame, as tech was clearly not an issue.
Having covered that base, I want to ask a question that has been weighing on my mind for the last few weeks. Why do I see so many Native people supporting the Palestinians, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.? How is it that I see so many YouTube channels run by Natives, showing that (of course) they have access to the internet, and through it, to the sum and total of human existence, in all its messy and egregious glory, but so very few of us have caught on to the truth of the Israel-Palestine issue?
I am aware of the narrative that holds that the Jewish State, founded in 1948, was founded on what people refer to as “Palestine”, and the claim that these Jewish people stole this land from the native Palestinians. Anyone with more than five minutes of instruction in American History, OUR history, can see where the natural sympathy would go. According to this narrative, anyone with even a drop of Native blood in their veins ought to be outraged at what appears to be Europeans colonizing and usurping an indigenous population, and that outrage would be 100% warranted, IF that narrative were the slightest bit true. However, it really is not. The Palestinian narrative is based on no small number of historical lies, and we must now examine those lies, in the light of the truth, to better inform ourselves.
I will begin by stating that I fully support Israel. I do so without qualification, without an ounce of shame, embarrassment, or trepidation. As a man of Native ancestry, their story, which is fully supported by the evidence, hits somewhere in my DNA. There is a land grab taking place. There is an apartheid being perpetuated. There is an attempt at ethnic cleansing taking place. However, Israel is not the perpetrator. Israel is the victim. I intend to show how and why I say that, in the hope that other Natives might be persuaded to place their support behind the true victims of this horrific crime. If you are reading this, and are not Native, make no mistake, I encourage you to examine my argument and see for yourself, too.
Where we begin is in the Torah. Among other things, the Torah is an historical record. It covers many of the events that helped to form and shape the people we know today as “Jews”, and their religion, Judaism. It begins with a man from what is now known as Southern Iraq, Abram, a man from the city known as Ur of the Chaldees.
One thing we learn from the Torah is that the modern day Semitic peoples (including Arabs) descend from Shem ben Noach (Shem son of Noah) (Gen. 10:21-31). This is a hugely important element to the story, because the Hebrew and Arabic people are cousins. They descend from the same man, Avram ben Terach (Abram son of Terah), father of Isaac and Ishmael. It is from Yitz’chak (Isaac) and Yishma’el (Ishmael) that we get the Hebrews and Arabs, as they are the sons of Isaac (Hebrews), and the sons of Ishmael (Arabs).
According to the Torah, God promised Abram that his descendants would be numbered like the stars. He says, “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” (Gen. 15:5) Later, God would come to Abram, and formalize the covenant that would ensure the promise that he would be the father of many nations (Gen. 17). This Covenant would also be marked by the changing of Abram’s name from Avram (exalted father) to Avraham (father of many).
The land given to the descendants of Abraham is laid out in Genesis 15,
“And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.” (Gen. 15:17-21)
There is something very important of note here. The land God describes here encompasses all or part of the modern nations of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt; in addition to those of the modern Jewish State of Israel. How many of those nations are occupied by the sons of Isaac? Additionally, God states in Genesis 17 that this promise, this Covenant, is to be eternal (Gen. 17:7). There is no expiration date on that promise. It is to remain their land, but there is a bit more.
Abraham had at least two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. The Israelite people descend from Yakov ben Yitz’chak, or Jacob son of Isaac, who would later be renamed to Yisra’el, or Israel. The Arab peoples descend from Jacob’s brother, Ishmael. Both were to be blessed by God, and both were to be the fathers of many nations. Ishmael was blessed when he was still in his mother’s womb (Gen. 16), while Isaac would be blessed much later. It is worth noting that their blessings included land, and that their lands were to be separate. We should also note what is said of Ishmael, and his descendants, in terms of their behavior,
“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” (Gen. 16:12)
The term used to describe Ishmael here is פֶּ֣רֶא אָדָ֔ם (Pere aDam, wild man), which makes clear that he would spend life in constant conflict with his brethren, as would his descendants. These would be the modern day Arabs, among other groups. The Arabs derive their name from the place of their origin, the Arabian Peninsula. This places them close to Israel, but not from it. Furthermore, the text shows that the Arabic people would live AMONG their brethren, which is true given that millions of Arabs live in Israel, and they are not all so-called Palestinians.
According to modern biblical archeology, the earliest reference to Israel is found on the Merneptah Stele, dated to 1205 BC, which lists the military victories of Pharaoh Merneptah. Israel is listed among the countries his forces defeated in battle. What is not listed on that stele is a country known as Palestine. That dates to more than 3,200 years ago.
The stele says,
Canaan is captive with all woe.
Ashkelon is conquered, Gezer seized,
Yanoam made nonexistent;
Israel is laid waste, bare of seed,
What we have then is an historically verifiable basis for the existence of Israel. Funnily enough, many Muslim scholars today dispute the idea that Israel ever existed, despite the evidence to the contrary. Interesting, is it not?
Moving forward, there is an historical basis for a place named Palestine, but there is a catch. The modern English word “Palestine” derives from the Latin “Palestina”, which in turn comes from the Greek “Philistia”. In Arabic, it is called “Filistin”. Where the name Palestina enters our lexicon is in 135 AD, when Hadrian, Emperor of Rome, chose to rename the Province of Judea to Syria-Palestina as punishment to the Jewish people for rising up against Imperial Rome. This was known as the Bar Kokhba Revolt (133 AD – 135 AD), which brought an end to Jewish resistance against Rome.
The intent behind renaming Judea was to drive a permanent wedge between the Jewish people and their lands. History shows that Hadrian failed miserably. The Jewish people persisted in Syria-Palestina, and remained there into the modern day. In fact, Mark Twain took a trip to the Holy Lands in the 1860s, and wrote about it. The resultant book, “The Innocents Abroad”, makes mention of Jews, Christians, and Arabs, but never makes mention of Palestine as a nation, or of a distinct people group calling themselves “Palestinian”. He refers to Palestine as a “country” in the same way that we would refer to a region, or a general area, but never as a distinct nation. (At the time, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, so it was not an independent nation) As Mark Twain wrote this at a time when no one was seeking to establish a Jewish State, he did not exactly have a dog in that fight, which certainly makes him an impartial observer.
Another aspect of Palestine that was covered in Innocents Abroad was the emptiness of the region. He took note of the fact that there was very little by way of agriculture, or wildlife. The entire region seemed to be awaiting something, and its depression showed in the people. He noted that the people there seemed to be as muted as the land. How interesting considering the land came back to life when the Jewish State was reconstituted in 1948.
Where did the Greek Philistia come from? It was their pronunciation for the country of people known as “Philistines”. Think David and Goliath. Hadrian chose to rename the Jewish homelands after their ancient, and no longer existent, enemies. He added insult to literal injury there.
They were a good and proper nation, but they had passed out of existence long before the events of the Bar Kokhba revolt. Between the fact that they ceased to exist before that time, and the fact that the Philistines were most certainly NOT Arabs, it is clear that the so-called Palestinians of today have no historical claim on the land, beyond the few descended from people who lived there prior to the reconstitution of Israel. It gets better.
On the day that Israel officially became a country, all of the surrounding Arab nations declared war and told their Palestinian brethren to leave, so that they may avoid being injured in the bloodbath that was about to ensue. At the same time, the newly formed Israeli government asked the Palestinian people to remain and live with them in peace, with full citizenship. Those Palestinian Arabs all left, entirely by choice, forfeiting any chance at being a part of the new Jewish State, and effectively rendering themselves stateless. Their descendants now live in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, and various other countries. They are also universally reviled as being terrible people in those countries.
Today, we are expected to believe that the Israeli government evicted these people from their homes and lands, and that is EXACTLY what did NOT happen. In fact, all Israeli Arabs not only enjoy full citizenship rights, but they occupy all levels of Israeli life, including serving on the Knesset. They serve as judges, and even serve in the Israeli Defense Forces. At this time, Muslim Arab members of the IDF are facing off against members of Hamas and Hezbollah in direct and close combat. (Prior to the “pause” in fighting) You must ask yourself why. Why would they face off against people of the same religion and ethnicity if Israel is such a horrible place for them? Trust and believe that the answer is not as complicated as one might think.
Another point to consider is the so-called genocide of the Palestinian people. Population figures have shown that the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank have not been in decline. In fact, they continued to experience population growth until the war Hamas started on October 7. If Israel were seeking to exterminate the Palestinian people, they have clearly lost the plot.
Until the resumption of hostilities on October 7, there had been a longstanding ceasefire in effect for several years. During that time, Israel provided Gaza with food, water, fuel, electricity, medical supplies, etc. Gaza was also receiving large amounts of assistance from the US, the UN, various Muslim nations around the Middle East, and had no good reason to be suffering at all. Israel had honored an agreement that required they pull out of Gaza entirely.
When they pulled out, they left behind fully functioning infrastructure and more than enough resources for the Gazan people to jumpstart their own economy. They could have been an independent nation living in peace with their neighbors, and they would have been prosperous. What happened? Hamas. Hamas happened. The Gazan people elected them as their government, and everything went downhill from there. They destroyed all the infrastructure, made life wretched for the Gazan people, and used the money and resources to carry on an unremitting war against Israel.
Finally, I want to address the specific targeting of civilian infrastructure by the IDF, because I know that is a huge sticking point for a lot of people. It is true that intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime under the Geneva and Hague Conventions. It is also true, under the same body of laws, that using civilian infrastructure for offensive purposes in war nullifies any legal protection said infrastructure enjoys. If a military force chooses to store weapons, munitions, and/or troops in or near a hospital, place of worship, school, residential area, etc., then targeting said structures become entirely legal.
No small number of videos have come out of this current conflict showing clearly that Hamas has been using the Gazan people as human shields, and as propaganda fodder. Furthermore, Hamas has not been shy about using outright lies to push international opinion against Israel. For example, there was the supposed bombing of a hospital in Gaza City that they claimed took the lives of over 500 medical staff and patients.
The problem with this story is that the rocket came from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), that the rocket had malfunctioned mid-flight, and had impacted in a parking lot outside the hospital causing minimal damage and reportedly killing a few dozen people. The images from the next morning showed that there was not much of an impact crater, and that all cars that had been parked there were burnt out. They also show that there is little to no damage to surrounding buildings. Even trees are still standing. If you examine this picture, you will see what I am referring to.
Note that there is a disparity between the strength of Israeli rockets, and Palestinian ones. Israeli rockets are far more powerful. Had it been an Israeli rocket, the cars not vaporized by the explosion would have been rather efficiently relocated several hundred meters away, most likely in several pieces. The hospital and surrounding buildings would have taken far more significant damage, and the actual death toll would have been far higher. In short, Hamas lied about what happened there, so that people like you can sympathize with them and condemn Israel. There are more examples of this running around the news cycle.
In recent days, the IDF has routinely released videos showing the tunnels they found under Al-Shifa Hospital, along with the weapons they have stored under there. According to Geneva and Hague, those are war crimes. Hamas simply does not care. They will do it again if given a chance. The civilian casualties said actions cause benefit them tremendously.
Compare that with the IDF going above and beyond to avoid civilian casualties by warning the Gazan civilians ahead of time. They use leaflets, phone calls, and specially designed missiles to warn the civilians. When they issue their warnings, they include where and when they are going to strike, which direction will take them to safety, and how they will deliver the final warning. They are demonstrating more care for the Gazan people than Hamas is, and it really boggles my mind that people cannot seem to see past Hamas’ obvious lies.

Stop and consider: According to the Apostle Paul, Goyim not under the law. The Torah commandment of Moshiach, a key part of Jewish law. What distinguishes between Roman statute laws from Jewish common laws? No Xtian priest or pastor has ever asked or considered this fundamental question. Yet Xtianity assumes that its Gospels narishkeit holds a lock and key monopoly over the Torah commandment law known as Moshiach! LOL What a total joke. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. Can’t not be under the Law and at the say time declare absolute expertise over a key Torah commandment. Just that simple.
The Talmud by stark contrast learns the Torah commandment of Moshiach to the Baali T’shuva. What Torah commandment defines a Baali T’shuva? The commandment to shoo the mother bird from off sitting upon her eggs. How? Torah law delves primarily into tohor middot. Notice the noise new testament never once considers this key subject. For a Cohen to do service in the Mishkan the Cohen had to stand “tohor”. This word, a completely alien term to Goyim. Why? Goyim not under the Law.
To shoo the mother bird away from her eggs, a tohor middah. Another strange alien term to Goyim, for the exact same reason: Goyim not under the Law. Middah means “measure”. As in the judicial concept of justice: Measure for Measure. Judicial justice not important to Par’o of ancient Egypt and equally not important to any European courtrooms, who never held the Church accountable for its many war-crime guilts against Humanity.
The commandment of Moshiach qualifies as a tohor time-oriented commandment. Another alien term to Goyim for the same identical reason: Goyim not under the Law. All tohor time- oriented commandments stand upon the foundation of “fear of Heaven”. Meaning a person has to intend to dedicate holy to HaShem a tohor midda. In the case of shooing the mother bird from off her clutch of eggs, the midda dedicated holy to HaShem, the tohor midda of not inflicting unnecessary pain upon the mother bird.
What example of a rabbinic mitva/commandment perhaps best exemplifies this midda? Kosher slaughtering of animals. By the law learned in the Talmud kosher slaughter of animals learns from the slaughter of sacrificial animals dedicated unto the altar. What fundamentally separates the animal flesh burnt upon the altar in Jerusalem from butchering meats for consumer consumption? The first thing the Cohen throws upon the altar “the living blood” of the sacrificial offering. This means the Cohen had to cut the carotid artery which runs parallel to the thorax wind-pipe.
The common butcher does not require this ‘living blood’, which squirts out of the wound due to blood-pressure produced by that the beating heart of the sacrificial animal. Hence the Talmud on laws for butchering meat does not directly mention cutting the carotid artery, b/c the butcher does not require this ‘living blood’. Nonetheless, a sage in the Talmud, rabbi Yechuda, teaches that a person with “fear of Heaven”, ((the foundation of all tohor time-oriented commandments)), should cut the carotid artery. Why? Because not cutting this artery, the animal can live for some time there-after its throat gets cut. As a slaughter house rav, I personally have witnessed cattle getting up and walking around due to the failure to cut the carotid artery.
Not causing unnecessary animal suffering, a tohor midda learned from shooing the mother bird away from her clutch of eggs, this tohor midda defines the reason why Rabbi Yechuda of the Gemara warns butchers to, despite not requiring, needing, nor wanting the living blood of the slaughtered animal, nonetheless, to cut the carotid artery of the animal so that it dies immediately, like 2 seconds after, its throat being cut.
The concept “tohor time-oriented commandment” learns from Moshe going to Egypt. Recall that Moshe opposed going to Egypt! Moshe went to Egypt as a “baali t’shuva”. What defines a “baali t’shuva”? That a person arouses to address a current national crisis afflicting the Jewish people at that moment in time. The Torah anointed Pinchas “Moshiach of War” in the war fought against Moav and Midian & Bil’am the prophet.
The failure of the church abomination to learn the Torah commandment of Moshiach from Torah sources, proves that that false religion as an utter counterfeit of alien Roman origins. The Gospels, written after all in Greek – not Hebrew or Aramaic, the common languages spoken by the Jewish people at that time! The Romans, based their pantheon of Gods upon the Greek Gods of mount Olympus; Romans commonly spoke the language of the Greeks, something like Czar Peter the Great spoke French, as did all his court. The God-father of JeZeus and Hercules, an identical mythical story.
Hence, the tohor time-oriented commandment of Moshiach stands on the foundation of “fear of Heaven”; and “fear of Heaven” most essentially requires the dedication holy to HaShem of some specific tohor midda. Like as found in the tohor time-oriented commandment of shooing the mother bird away from sitting upon her eggs. The Torah commandment of anointing a baali-t’shuva Moshiach, the tohor time-oriented commandment of anointing a person dedicated to save Israel during a time of national crisis.
Hence Rabbi Akiva considered Bar Kochba as moshiach. Alas the Bar Kochba revolt collapsed. But this does not change the facts on the ground. Jews confronted the Romans in a national crisis and anointed a General to fight the Romans. Just as Moshe anointed Phinehas to fight the war against Moav and Midian/Bil’am. Phinehas anionted eish Moshiach milchamah, the messiah anointed for war.

Herein a revisionist history of the gross failures of Rabbinic g’lut Orthodox Judaism down through the Ages, based upon the opening Mishna of ברכות ק”ש ערבית which the Gemara on this Av Mishna learns refined unto a single word: כעסו.
Modern church = Orthodox Judaism today. LOL In the blessing after eating bread, notice the blessing for Hannukka. The wicked Greek kingdom attempted to force Israel to abandon the Oral Torah. (The language “Oral” implied. Why? B/c the Written Torah was written).
What defines the “Oral Torah”? According to Rabbi Akiva, the kabbalah of Oral Torah refers to פרדס, an abbreviation for p’shat, r’miz, drosh, sod. Orthodox Judaism throws פרדס out like a fisherman places a worm on a hook.
But in point of fact Orthodox Jews, following the disastrous victory of the Rambam statute halachic code which perverted T’NaCH & Talmudic common law; these religious Jews do not know how to learn Oral Torah. Oral Torah became a lost wisdom. Which learns the Talmud as a fabric which contains a warp/weft, Halacha\Aggadah relationship. דרוש ופשט align with the Aggadah portions of Talmud and Midrash. While רמז וסוד align with the halachic portions of the Talmud. G’lut Jewry lost the wisdom, how to learn the Torah לשמה.
This requires proof. Oral Torah – a logic format by which the generations can interpret the k’vanna of the Written Torah. Two major branches of logic. Deductive logic and Inductive logic. Assimilated Roman statute law most essentially relies upon deductive logic. A rabbinic figure teaches a din to his students, and those students “interpret” the k’vanna of their rabbi’s halachic ruling. Rabbi Akiva had 5 major talmidim who survived. They passed the masoret of the Mishna to Rabbi Yechuda Ha’Nasi, primarily by means of their deductive reasoning in how they understood the words of Rabbi Akiva.
The halachic codes most famous today, the Rambam, Ben Asher, and Yosef Karo. These assimilated codes rely most essentially upon the logic format of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. They do not possess a grasp of the hidden kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס logic system. The story of Hannukka depicts not only a conflict between the Jews and the Syrian Greek empire. But equally a Civil War between the P’rushim (the forefathers of rabbinic Judaism) against the Tzeddukim (the assimilated house of Aaron Cohonim, who ruled the Banana Republic of Judea for benefit of their masters: the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans).
When the Persian empire permitted the generation of Ezra to return and rebuild Judea and the Temple in Jerusalem, the Persia kings did so b/c the Assyrian policy which removed the indigenous population of the 10 Tribes from their homelands, this policy opened the gates of that empire to foreign Invasions. The Babylonian empire conquered the Assyrian empire quickly due to this critical strategic blunder.
Hence Cyrus, the king of Persia, permitted Jews to return. And paid for the construction of the Temple, to cement shut this gateway of foreign invasion into the Persian empire. Jews rebuilt Judea and would fight to prevent a foreign army to conquer it again.
Aristotle rode with Alexander the Great, when that Greek general conquered the Persian empire of Iran. Approximately 1000 years later, with the invasion of Spain by Muslim armies, the Muslims rediscovered the writings of the ancient Greeks which Constatine concealed & cloistered, and only permitted Catholic monks to study, thus causing the Dark Ages.
The ‘Golden Age’ of Spanish Jewry, an utter misnomer. Ibn Ezra’s son converted to Islam. Jews living in Spain almost totally assimilated to the cultures and customs of the conquering Muslim empires. Specifically, where the Maccabees defeated the assimilated Tzeddukim (they wanted to turn Jerusalem into a Greek polis/City State) Rambam and the assimilated Spanish rabbis totally embraced the rediscovered ancient Greek philosophy!
Would Jewish refugees make t’shuva and expel the assimilated Tzeddukim from the Temple for a second time? No. G’lut Jews lost the wisdom of pursuing mitzvot observance לשמה.
The Rambam named his assimilated Roman Statute law code the “Mishnah Torah” due to his total ignorance that the term Mishna Torah refers: not only to the 5th Book of the Torah (this he clearly knew), but that Mishna Torah means: common law (this he clearly did not know).
Rabbi Yechuda Ha’Nassi wrote the 6 Orders of the “Mishna” because he understood that the Book of דברים makes a Mishna Torah common law Case/Rule reinterpretation upon the other 4 Books of the Written Torah, with the k’vanna to grasp the prophetic mussar applicable to all generations of Israel.
NaCH serves as mussar precedents (called בנין אב in the logic of Rabbi Yishmael’s 13 rules of logic); the Aggadah portions of the Talmud (about 1/4th of the Sha’s Bavli), together with the Geonim Midrashim, specifically Midrash Rabbah, serves as a commentary to the Aggadah (Which organizes its drosh around the order of the Mishnaot rather than the order of the T’NaCH like as does classic Midrash commentaries.); the Aggadah makes a drosh back to T’NaCH Primary mussar sources with an eye to learn the k’vanna of prophetic mussar. Prophets command mussar – the T’NaCH definition of prophesy.
Following the Rambam Civil War, {{{[[[[(( Rambam published his assimilated Roman statute law halachic code in about 1185 ce. He died in 1205. The Spanish court of Rabbeinu Yonah place the ban of charem upon the Rambam {like as similarily a later court condemned Spinoza} in about 1215; and burned his corruption with the evilly named Mishnah Torah.
Despite foreign travel being highly confined during the Dark Ages due to a lack of functioning roads and bandits, the fires of the Rambam Civil War in Spain spread first to France. In 1242 the Pope and the king of France ordered the total destruction of all Talmudic hand written manuscripts in France. {The printing press not developed until about 2 Centuries later.} The public destruction of all Talmudic manuscripts in France, its impact upon European g’lut Jewry compares to the impact of the Romans expelling the Jews from Judea and renaming the land Palestine!
In 1290 the flames of this Jewish Civil War spread to England which culminated in the expulsion of Jews from England. Then this international Jewish Civil War returned back to France. The king expelled the Jews of France in 1305; this disaster destroyed the common law learning on the Torah and Talmud. (Rashi p’shat employs inductive learning by means of comparative precedents. This Rashi Chumash p’shat totally different than the Rashi’s Talmudic commentary of “p’shat”. The criticism made by the Baali Tosafot commentaries on the Talmud, it learns the common law inductive reasoning methodology of the Talmud, by means of a common law inductive precedent search/based commentary to the Talmud. Rashi p’shat on the Talmud most essentially lacked this essential understanding of Talmud as Common law.
Rashi’s Talmudic simple deductive reasoning p’shat commentary on the Talmud, written to conceal from the Pre-1st Crusades church, the inductive reasoning of common law. Hence Rashi p’shat on the Chumash, there Rashi showed his understanding of inductive reasoning precedent based p’shat. His Chumash commentary most essentially entails the inductive comparison method of a judicial case juxtaposed to similar judicial case/law ruling ie common law.
The expulsion of the Jews from France in 1305 destroyed the Rashi-Tosafot common law school of Chumash and Talmudic inductive logic reasoning common law scholarship. Disasters followed one after another. The Talmud refers to this type of crash as ירידות הדורות: which means domino effect/ripple effect.
The kingdoms of Germany imposed crushing taxation without representation upon the Jewish stateless refugee populations living within the German kingdoms. As did the king of England the Germans likewise pauperized the Jewish refugees almost over-night with their criminal taxation without representation theft of virtually all Jewish wealth. When the Germans could not squeeze more gold out of “their” Jews, they expelled these Jewish refugees from their kingdom. Jews fled from one German kingdom to another only to be abused in the exact same way – over again and again.
Then in about 1415 the Pope imposed the ghetto war crimes upon the Jews of Western Europe. Jews would remain imprisoned in these ghetto war crimes for over 3 Centuries, till Napoleon kicked the Pope in his balls, and freed the Jewish refugees from the ghetto and granted French citizenship to French Jewry!
This revolution likewise witnessed the economic transformation from Lord/serf agricultural based economies to citizen/democracy industrial-based economies. The last Lord/serf feudal based agricultural-based economies: Czarist Russia and the Confederate South. Both of these agricultural wealth-based economies witness military defeat. Czarist Russia tasted the bitterness of the Crimean War of 1856. While the Southern Confederacy tasted this bitterness after the battles of Gettysburg and Shermans burning of Atlanta.
The Vatican imposition of the ghetto war crimes upon Western European Jewish refugee populations cause a huge population transfer, wherein millions of Jews fled from Western Europe unto Eastern Europe, specifically the Ukraine and Poland.
Disaster followed disaster. While the rediscovery of the ancient Greek philosophical writing significantly contributed with terminating the Dark Ages and ushered in the Rennaissance. The ensuing Catholic corruption erupted in the Reformation and the terrible 30 Years War. Europe’s population during the 30 Years War, about 1\3rd the size of Europe’s population during WWI.
Yet about as many people killed in the 30 Years Protestant/Catholic Wars as died during the War to End All Wars! Soldiers on both sides slaughtered Jewish ghetto imprisoned refugees, like lions often play with their prey.
1648 with the Peace of Westphalia finally terminated that horrible barbaric war. This war forced European governments to demand laws of war, following the horrific abominations and war crimes committed by both sides.
But for Jewish refugee populations disaster followed disaster! The same year of the Peace of Westphalia witnessed another more horrific explosion! The Khmelnytsky Uprising – which lasted about 9 years and resulted in the slaughter of approximately 1.5 million Jews. This disaster followed up by the Sabbatai Zevi & Yaacov Frank false messiah absolute disasters.
After Napoleon kicked the Pope in his balls and freed Western European Jewish refugee populations from the criminal ghetto war crimes against Humanity, Jews freed from the ghetto prisons came out of the Dark Ages unto a modern world! Reform Judaism declared Karo’s Shulkan Aruch assimilated statute law based upon deductive reasoning, and not inductive precedent based reasoning, as archaic and not relevant to the Modern age.
Disaster followed by disaster defines the Jewish g’lut refugees experience in Europe and Muslim/Arab lands. Reform Judaism caused “Orthodox Judaism” to cling to the Neturie Karta abomination: Berlin our New Jerusalem – what-ever country Jews live, that’s our homeland Av tumah avoda zarah. Orthodox rabbis in the early 20th Century condemned political Zionism’s attempts to find a great power patron who would support the Jewish return back to our homeland. The Orthodox assimilated statute law addicted rabbis despised the Balfour Declaration of 1917!
These Orthodox rabbis tended to duplicate the error made by Pope Pius XII; they held that Orthodox Judaism has a monopoly over the Torah, that the opinions expressed by the Reshonim – infallible! They decreed that ירידות הדורות means that later generations of Jewry cannot criticize earlier generations of Reshonim scholarship. Despite the fact that the Reshonim failed to lead Jewish refugee populations back to our homelands. Orthodox Neturei Karta Judaism despises the phenomenal success achieved by late 19th Century Political, Cultural & Labor Zionism!
Just as the Wilderness generation rebelled to rise up and conquer the oath brit homelands of Canaan, so too Orthodox Judaism behaved like dogs who return and eat their own vomit. Those arrogant rabbis who imagine that Orthodox Judaism has a monopoly-hold on the inheritance of the Torah; who embrace the deductive reasoning “monopoly” perversion of T’NaCH and Talmudic inductive logic common law; who favor their copy-cat “Xtian replacement theology” assimilated deductive Aristotelean logic statute halacha model monopoly. Just as the Wilderness Generation has no portion in the World to Come, so too Orthodox Judaism/Shoah has no portion in the World to Come.)))}}}]]], Jewish g’lut refugee populations experience destruction after destruction after destruction after destruction.

The commandment to shoo the mother bird from off sitting upon her eggs. How? Torah law delves primarily into tohor middot. Notice the noise new testament never once considers this key subject. For a Cohen to do service in the Mishkan the Cohen had to stand “tohor”. This word, a completely alien term to Goyim. Why? Goyim not under the Law.To shoo the mother bird away from her eggs, a tohor middah. Another strange alien term to Goyim, for the exact same reason: Goyim not under the Law. Middah means “measure”. As in the judicial concept of justice: Measure for Measure. Judicial justice not important to Par’o of ancient Egypt and equally not important to any European courtrooms, who never held the Church accountable for its many war-crime guilts against Humanity.
The commandment of Moshiach qualifies as a tohor time-oriented commandment. Another alien term to Goyim for the same identical reason: Goyim not under the Law. All tohor time- oriented commandments stand upon the foundation of “fear of Heaven”. Meaning a person has to intend to dedicate holy to HaShem a tohor midda. In the case of shooing the mother bird from off her clutch of eggs, the midda dedicated holy to HaShem, the tohor midda of not inflicting unnecessary pain upon the mother bird.
What example of a rabbinic mitva/commandment perhaps best exemplifies this midda? Kosher slaughtering of animals. By the law learned in the Talmud kosher slaughter of animals learns from the slaughter of sacrificial animals dedicated unto the altar. What fundamentally separates the animal flesh burnt upon the altar in Jerusalem from butchering meats for consumer consumption? The first thing the Cohen throws upon the altar “the living blood” of the sacrificial offering. This means the Cohen had to cut the carotid artery which runs parallel to the thorax wind-pipe.
The common butcher does not require this ‘living blood’, which squirts out of the wound due to blood-pressure produced by that the beating heart of the sacrificial animal. Hence the Talmud on laws for butchering meat does not directly mention cutting the carotid artery, b/c the butcher does not require this ‘living blood’. Nonetheless, a sage in the Talmud, rabbi Yechuda, teaches that a person with “fear of Heaven”, ((the foundation of all tohor time-oriented commandments)), should cut the carotid artery. Why? Because not cutting this artery, the animal can live for some time there-after its throat gets cut. As a slaughter house rav, I personally have witnessed cattle getting up and walking around due to the failure to cut the carotid artery.
Not causing unnecessary animal suffering, a tohor midda learned from shooing the mother bird away from her clutch of eggs, this tohor midda defines the reason why Rabbi Yechuda of the Gemara warns butchers to, despite not requiring, needing, nor wanting the living blood of the slaughtered animal, nonetheless, to cut the carotid artery of the animal so that it dies immediately, like 2 seconds after, its throat being cut.The concept “tohor time-oriented commandment” learns from Moshe going to Egypt. Recall that Moshe opposed going to Egypt! Moshe went to Egypt as a “baali t’shuva”.
What defines a “baali t’shuva”? That a person arouses to address a current national crisis afflicting the Jewish people at that moment in time. The Torah anointed Pinchas “Moshiach of War” in the war fought against Moav and Midian & Bil’am the prophet.
The failure of the church abomination to learn the Torah commandment of Moshiach from Torah sources, proves that that false religion as an utter counterfeit of alien Roman origins. The Gospels, written after all in Greek – not Hebrew or Aramaic, the common languages spoken by the Jewish people at that time! The Romans based their pantheon of Gods upon the Greek Gods of Mount Olympus; Romans commonly spoke the language of the Greeks, something like Czar Peter the Great spoke French, as did all his court. The God-father of JeZeus and Hercules, an identical mythical story.
Hence, the tohor time-oriented commandment of Moshiach stands on the foundation of “fear of Heaven”; and “fear of Heaven” most essentially requires the dedication holy to HaShem of some specific tohor midda. Like as found in the tohor time-oriented commandment of shooing the mother bird away from sitting upon her eggs.
The Torah commandment of anointing a baali-t’shuva Moshiach, the tohor time-oriented commandment of anointing a person dedicated to save Israel during a time of national crisis.
Hence Rabbi Akiva considered Bar Kochba as moshiach. Alas the Bar Kochba revolt collapsed. This false Moshiach when given the opportunity to drive the Romans out of Damascus refused this Torah mitzva. When king David, anointed as Moshiach conquered Damascus, did he establish that city as a City of Refuge and build the Small Sanhedrin common law lateral court there?
A great dispute in the Jerushalmi Talmud disputes this question. The mitzva of Moshiach learns from the last mitzva of Moshe Rabbeinu who built the small Sanhedrin courts in the 3 Cities of Refuge. The mitzva of Moshiach does not learn from the רשע king Shlomo who built an assimilated Catholic Cathedral/Temple – who worshipped Av tumah avoda zarah.
But this does not change the facts on the ground. Jews confronted the Romans in a national crisis and anointed a General to fight the Romans. Just as Moshe anointed Phinehas to fight the war against Moav and Midian/Bil’am. Phinehas anionted eish Moshiach milchamah, the messiah anointed for war. Rabbi Akiva supported the anointing Bar Kochba as Moshiach.
Alas this false messiah failed to conquer Damascus and build a City of Refuge. The Romans could send a new Army from Rome and prepare to reconquer Judea. Strategically this false messiah likewise failed to coordinate the Jewish revolt against the Romans together with the Jews of Alexandria Egypt. This permitted the Romans to more easily put down both failed revolts in a piece-meal fashion.
