The Hope of the Jewish People and the Wizard of Oz

A query upon opening Facebook is; " What is on your mind?

Upon seeing the swill that passes for "news" on today's "woke" mass media outlets were journalist integrity is now no longer exists. I yearn for the day that the people of the world will awaken to the fact that they are being manipulated by unscrupulous owners of the "Social Media" and mendacious liars who pervert the truth that is shown and printed. 

Above all else as a father and as a grandfather I hope and pray for sanity as I hope for an end to hatred,especially towards my people and my nation. It is this same  "Hope" of freedom from hate filled persecution that we Jews have yearned for, for centuries.

“Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, the 1939 classic and Academy Award winning song from “Wizard of Oz” was composed by Harold Arlen (born Hyman Arluck; February 15, 1905 – April 23, 1986) a Jew whose family immigrated from Lithuania. The lyrics were written by Edgar Yipsel "Yip" Harburg (born Isidore Hochberg; April 8, 1896 – March 5, 1981)  the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants who grew up in a Yiddish-speaking, Orthodox Jewish home in New York.

Together they put together a song that has won awards and garnered global fame. Among other things they won an Oscar in 1940 for “Best Music, Original Song” for “The Wizard of Oz” and the song was voted the number one song of the 20th century by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The song is about hope, that the bad times will one day be over. It is this feeling of hope within the song that we can all relate to and it is hope that helped the Jewish people through the ages. 

Yip and Harold did not know what the future held for the Jewish people when they wrote this song, but the question is; How much of their experience as Jews affected the lyrics. 

We as Jews can readily relate to the song. Our people experienced troubles throughout our history and they were tired of being in a sad place and yearned to be somewhere better. So when you apply this tremendous desire for hope that this song manifests in the Jewish people, the words of the song take on a whole new meaning.

[Verse 1]

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream,

Really do come true.

[Chorus]

Someday I’ll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

High above the chimney tops,

That’s where you’ll find me.

[Verse 2]

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh why can’t I?

[Outro]

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can’t I?

The song was first published in 1939, at a time when the Jews in Europe were coming under increased hostility. Their freedoms were being taken away, their identity being dragged through the dirt, and many of them were feeling isolated. They were trapped, unable to “fly”.

The song is about hope, that the bad times will one day be over. It is this feeling of hope within the song that we can all relate to and it is hope that helped the Jewish people through the Holocaust.

Yip did not know what the future held for the Jewish people when he wrote this song. The lyrics “chimney tops” take on a harrowing new meaning now that we know the horrors of the Holocaust. I am sure many Jews looked to the skies above Auschwitz’s chimney’s, longing for the day they were free.

It was less than ten years after the song was written that the most powerful words of the song were fulfilled.

“There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.”

We Jews have dreamed of returning to our ancestral homeland Eretz Yisrael - "Zion" ever since our expulsion in 135CE. We have dreamed of having a country of OUR own where we can live in freedom and to worship our maker as one people without the control of others. This dream was fulfilled in 1948 when the nation of Israel was reborn. If anything Israel is a testament to the Jewish people that the “dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”

It seems that our world is once again on the edge of dark times. This song reminds us that though we face uncertain events, we still have hope, and our hope is in "Him who blessed the people of Israel".

The Official Palestinian Troll guideline to public relations (dezinformatsiya)

After seeing SO MUCH endless rectal brained BS by the "Detractors of Israel" all over the Internet I thought it worthwhile to lighten my day…..

FLASH: Mossad Center

An agent of ours found this in the basement under the remains of the UNWRA school in Gaza among the piles of rubble from the secondary explosion of rockets and weapons stockpiled in the tunnel underneath where the supposed English Lab was. Was a guideline sheet entitled: 

"The Official Palestinian Keyboard propagandists ™  guideline for "click bait" replies and dezinformatsiya for the minion of sycophantic followers of  the Tragedy Tourists of the self-inflicted Castration and Fantasia of Nachbaland™!"

Our Slogan: 

"The more mendacious the lie the better!" 

(kudos to our friends at the NYT)

1)      EVERYTHING is the fault of the ZIONISTS.

2)      Jews are Not REAL Jews they are Europeans! Khazarim!

3)      The ZIONISTS are colonizers! (Ignore the fact that our Prophet and our own Quran says the land belongs to the Jews.)

4)      Ignore the fact that Arabs ONLY conquered the land in 635CE

5)      Al Aqsa has always been on Haram al-Sharif [Noble Sanctuary] though Islam was begun only around the time of Muhammad 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE

6)      When we say Zionists, we mean ALL Jews! (Shhh but don't tell our JINO buds)

7)      When we say a "Two State Solution" it means we hope that the duped fools won't notice our little innocent litany "From the river to the Sea."

8)      We have cried and groveled over the loss of Falestine since King Daoud.

9)      We develop amnesia when it comes specific details of the "Country /State" of Falestine -which we claim begins with a P in English.

10)  We wave a flag that we claim is ours but we stole from that Kingdom created from 72% of the European Colony. 

Now as to the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip 

11)  We shoot our explosive laden rockets ONLY from those homes and buildings that we built to hide our launchers or weapons

12)  We make sure to use only the best cannon fodder as human shields, preferably the elderly and children of those families who are in fear of retribution.

13)  Since we control the Ministry of Health, we can control the details of the dead and HOW they were killed.

14)  It is forbidden to report deaths due to our Hamas activities. Those murdered by errant misfires are only murdered by Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets.

15)  We -Hamas - threaten ALL who report on our activities and especially any International News Agency.

16)  We widely advertise the use of the term's "occupation" and "genocide" in our propaganda knowing full well that it is untrue! But it does trigger our minions of brainwashed followers into rages of anti-Israel hatred. ;-)!

17)  We appreciate the millions in "Aid" money you shell out for the desperate civilian population -read non-Hamas's cronies to repair out tunnels and our villas! Keep them Euros and dollars coming!

18)  Children under 18 are ALL children!! Well not really...since we urge them to stand and play next to our launchers and weapon storage facilities to be "martyrs for the cause".

19)  A true "Win, Win situation! The parents get paid #Paid4slay and we can ALWAYS count on the world press to paste the photos on the front page and the News channels to broadcast the gruesome images to blame those Zionists!

20)  We entice and recruit 16- to 18-year-old boys to be our "martyrs" by luring them with tales of sex with 72 virgins! But when they die as "cannon fodder" we label them as "children" (see the NYT photo of dead children)

21)  We especially love those Jews In Name Only - those washed up "you know Who's" of Hollywood - who love bashing the "Zionist State." Those who are desperate in their desire to feel remembered whose bitterness to their Judaism stemmed from their hatred of getting dressed to go to "Temple" as children.

 Remember all these salient facts when the gullible pro Hamas fools speak about the Zionists!

 

 

 

Want "Peace between the "palestinians and Israel"?

Here ARE THE steps to take!

1) - STOP the palestinian dezinformatsiya!!! The world needs to take a step back and realise that it is up to the PEOPLE of "palestine" WITHOUT their overly corrupt and fanatic Islamic leadership and the people -the JEWS of Israel, to resolve the problem. 

2) The UN MUST revoke UNWRA established in 1949 by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) UN Resolution 212 (III) by a "mandate" its renewal must be voided IMMEDIATELY!

3) The UN MUST revoke the clause; "The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children, are also eligible for registration as refugees."

4) The UN MUST declare that ALL Arab countries -specifically those Arab countries members of the "Arab League" must accept ALL those who -were born- and reside in "Refugee Camps" as citizens with full rights and equal rights . ALL "UNWRA" facilities will be closed. 

5) The "Arabs of the Mandated Area" aka the "palestinians" MUST be cut off from ALL funding THAT IS NOT handled by supervised AND recorded accounting to prevent money going into corrupt pockets and weaponry. 

6) UWRA schools MUST be CLOSED and ONLY "revamped" schools MUST be opened. International Monitors must verify that HATRED is removed from their curriculum and -most importantly-  ALL texts that do NOT teach to educate MUST be destroyed. 

7) ALL those who HAVE donated money MUST be held held accountable that the funds are ACTUALLY USED for the construction of proper housing and infrastructure and NOT stolen for nefarious purposes!

8) They -the PEOPLE of "palestine" those used as pawns and cannon fodder - need to told the actual TRUTH just WHY the leaders of the Arab world have refused to absorb them for 74+ years!

That the Arabs of "Palestine" need to confront the truth of THEIR "Nachba". 

            ****AND WHAT "IS" THAT TRUTH?****

The TRUTH that THEIR leaders refused to accept the Partition -UNR181 in 1948 and set out to murder those Jews who LIVED in Eretz Yisrael -and in doing so THEY LOST and "THEY"- the PEOPLE of "palestine" have been systematically used by THEIR leaders as pawns and cannon fodder - have paid the price of misery and death ever since!

THEY - The "Arabs of the Mandated Area" aka the "palestinians" need to realise THEY cannot "Turn back the clock" nor can they DEMAND back what THEY LOST. 

When you set out to murder and defeat someone do not be surprised should you lose.

Just as the some 850,000 Jews of "Arab Lands" who paid the price for the utter defeat of the "Great Arab Armies" in their vain attempt to "Throw the Jews into the sea" in their war against the nascent "Jewish State" because of this Jews who had lived for centuries were "ETHNICALLY CLEANSED" and cannot retrieve their belongings and properties. They too, as well, cannot expect a return to THEIR homes, shops and fields. 

SO too the so called "palestinians" need to "Wake up" and realise WHAT THEY brought down upon THEMSELVES by their blind obedience to hatred in their "Nachba" - that  THEY LOST.

Once the "Arabs of the Mandated Area", aka the "palestinians", learn that war and hatred are not going to remove "US" or NEGATE "US".

That there is NO fantasy of "Return"!

That there is WHAT there is!

There are- no more "give mes"!! 

There is ONLY take it; "As you left it for yourselves" or keep suffering and dying!

WE JEWS are here to stay and we will NOT be your Dhimmis NO more. 

Then and only then will there be Peace !
