Hamas fills the world

"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.
