ReplyDeleteThis is Anon101. Jews living outside of Israel, do not think for a second you are secure. We are one body. Only prayer, charity and repentance can save us. Not Obama, UN or anyone else. Only GD. We should pray like we were under attack because if we do not, who knows who will be next. Sunday I am selling more stuff to be ready to run to Israel. There is no guarantee in the Jewish bible that the US, Europe, Australia or anywhere else will be safe for Jews.
ReplyDelete@Anon101 THIS is NOT the FORUM for such comments. You post the same comment indiscriminately all over the net - on articles inappropriate for the EMET that you are saying, regardless of others' feelings. A lot of sympathy & empathy, as well as knowing when to say what is proper, will go a long way & won't create animosity towards you! Kol HaKavod for you, for recognizing the EMET and acting upon it and we all wish you a Yishuv Tov! But, truly, this was not the place, or time, to rebuke your brothers & sisters, who are in mourning or suffering severe injury! Especially, this was an article about what is occurring in Eretz Yisrael, NOT Chutz L'Aretz! Have some common sense!
