“…put them with the mice….”
A furor arose in Israel after Kan News revealed a recording of a Shin Bet senior official saying that Jewish residents of Yehudah and Shomron are arrested “even without evidence” for several days.
In a recording, the Shin Bet officer, the head of the Jewish Department, is heard speaking with Cdr. Avishai Mualem, the Yamam commander, about several Jews who were arrested in Yehudah and Shomron.
“Put them in cells, with the mice,” says the officer, who is identified only as A.
A. adds: “We always want to detain them for interrogation as much as possible. You’ll see how they deal with Shin Bet investigations. We arrest these shmucks even without evidence for a few days.”
Mualem warns: “They’ll tear us apart for this.”
A.: “It’s under the aegis of the Shin Bet chief and Defense Minister.”
The conversation continued, during which A. referred to IDF forces as “death squads.”
Following the report, the Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement saying: “The shocking recording of the head of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet is a real danger to democracy. In light of this serious recording, the Prime Minister will demand a thorough examination of the activities of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet.”
“It is unacceptable that in a state governed by law, citizens of the country are arrested without evidence and placed in detention under illegal and cruel conditions. Only in dark regimes does the secret service operate in this dangerous way. There will be no dark shadow government within the state of Israel.”
Shas chairman Aryeh Deri responded: “The report published tonight about the head of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet against settlers in Yehudah and Shomron are very serious and should concern every citizen for whom individual rights are important. It is unacceptable that in a state governed by law, citizens are placed in detention without evidence and without a legal basis. A thorough internal investigation is required in this department.”
Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich responded: “For years we have been crying out against the use of the Shin Bet’s draconian powers against the settlers in an undemocratic, unequal, and illegal manner. The recordings published tonight prove unequivocally the criminality of the Jewish Department in the Shin Bet and the hypocrisy of the Israeli judicial system that covers up its lies and approves its actions over the years.”
“The settlers of Yehudah and Shomron are not second-class citizens. The head of the Jewish Department must be fired tonight, taken for questioning, and brought to justice – just like Ronen Bar, who has caused and continues to cause immense damage to the organization, completely eroding public trust in it. The Shin Bet is a critical body for the security of Israel, but it needs a thorough cleansing and urgent rehabilitation.”

A Message From Rabbi Pesach Lerner
A Message From Rabbi Pesach Lerner
Chairman, Eretz HaKodesh
Dear Friends,
There has been much discussion and confusion surrounding the World Zionist Organization (WZO) and Eretz HaKodesh’s role within it. To help clarify things, we’ve put together a few key points.
Let’s begin with some facts about the WZO:
The WZO played a major part in creating the State of Israel. It has evolved since then and today plays a significant role in shaping Jewish life in Israel and around the world as the voice of the Jewish people, particularly American Jewry.
It is governed by parties elected every five years at the World Zionist Congress and is determined by party size and coalition building.
The WZO has a huge influence on many aspects of Israeli society.
This influence is primarily gained through its annual income of $2.3 billion from its share of purchase taxes on land it owns in Israel.
These funds belong to Jews across the world. That includes us.
The distribution of these funds and the influence the WZO exerts are determined by delegate representation and control.
Historically, the vast majority of WZO funds have been used to support the infrastructure and growth of the State of Israel, benefiting all its citizens.
For decades, this structure remained largely unchanged — until a dramatic shift occurred in recent times…
Let’s explain:
Facing a challenge of minimal relevance in Israel, the American non-Orthodox and liberal-left movements decided to make the State of Israel a central part of their agenda. Sensing an opportunity, they mobilized their membership to vote in the WZO elections.
The results speak for themselves:
For the last 25-30 years, the Congress has been controlled by the non-Orthodox and liberal-left movements. As the majority of the WZO, they claim to represent Diaspora Jewry — including YOU. Using their influence, they have utilized WZO funds to promote their agenda, undermine our Torah values, attack traditional family values, and challenge the Kedusha of Torah and Eretz Yisrael.
Perhaps their most effective tactic has been their use of challenges in the Israeli Supreme Court to attack many aspects of Orthodox religious life in Eretz Yisrael. Court cases have been brought against the use of Mechitzahs at Mekomos Hakedoshim, specifically the Kosel, against Mehadrin buses, Kosher cell phones, and most dramatically, welfare and childcare benefits for tens of thousands of Torah students and their families.
That’s when Eretz HaKodesh stepped in.
Under the guidance of Gedolei Yisrael, Eretz HaKodesh was founded to counter the non-Orthodox and liberal left movements and to give Torah Jews a much-needed voice.
In the past five years, we have stood on the front lines, fighting against the expansion of pluralism and the growth of alternative forms of Judaism in various areas of Israeli society.
In addition to many positive projects and endeavors, Eretz HaKodesh has successfully directed much-needed funds to vital causes. Since winning 25 delegates in 2020, Eretz HaKodesh’s representatives helped direct millions of NIS from the Jewish Agency and KKL/JNF toward causes close to our hearts.
This includes:
120,000,000 NIS for Youth and At-Risk Programs
35,000,000 NIS for American Yeshivos and Seminaries
40,000,000 NIS for Religious Cities (Youth Movements, activities)
6,000,000 NIS for Tuition Support for Israeli Seminary Girls
The next election is NOW.
In the last election, the liberal movements gathered 50,000 votes.
We, who truly care about the kedusha of Eretz Yisroel, must do much better.
We all need to vote to preserve Kedushas Eretz Yisrael!
VOTE Slate #11 today at www.ERETZHAKODESH.org.
Remember, not voting is, by default, a vote for the non-Orthodox and liberal left movements.
Wishing you a Chag Kasher V’Sameach, and a beautiful Yom Tov.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Pesach Lerner
Chairman, Eretz HaKodesh
Rabbi Michoel Green: ANALYSIS Part VII
Part VII: Sacrilege of Religious Zionism
As explained in Part II, Zionism is statism with a pseudo-Jewish veneer. The nationalist movement to return to Zion en masse was a pretext through which statism was imposed on Jews. What made it so insidious is how it sought to appeal to not only non-religious but religious Jews as well. For the latter, Zionist statism was painted as Judaic creed with astonishing efficacy. By winning over so many in the observant Jewish population, Zionism succeeded where other statist movements, such as Jewish Communists, failed.
Religious Jews were lured into joining the Zionist movement by means of a tempting doctrine called "religious Zionism."
Religious Zionism preaches that the state is nothing less than the first phase of the long-awaited Redemption promised in scripture, or ithchalta d'geulah in rabbinic parlance [1]. In religious Zionist liturgy, the state is referred to as ראשית צמיחת גאולתנו, the "beginning of the sprouting forth of our redemption" [2].
This audacious claim is based on a midrashic teaching in the Jerusalemite Talmud that describes the process of redemption as a gradual one [3].
The existence of a supposedly-Jewish state that instigates a mass Jewish return to the Land is regarded by religious Zionism as the "ingathering of the exiles of Israel" described in scripture [4]: "And the Lord your God will return your captives and... will gather you from amongst all the nations to where He had dispersed you."
The obvious problem is how to deal with the previous verse, "you will return to God with all your heart...?"
Furthermore, how can a political state claim to be the harbinger of redemption? Did poverty, greed, illness, crime, cruelty, etc. [5], miraculously disappear with the glorious advent of the supposedly-long-awaited Jewish State? No, it didn't.
Moreover, how can a Divinely-inspired redemption be achieved at the hand of a secular state run by atheists?
Religious Zionist apologetics has an answer: at least the redemption process has begun, albeit gradually. Supposedly, if all Jews would return to the Land and pledge allegiance to the "redemptive" State, then the rest of the Redemption would follow.
Early Christian theologians had a similar problem when claiming authentic messianic status for their messiah. How could they explain J…’s’ failure to deliver the actual redemption, a time when the "wolf will lie with the lamb"[6], an end to evil and bloodshed, etc.? Consequently, they contrived the novel idea of a "first" and "second" coming. The redeemer was no longer required to actually redeem anyone, at least not in a practical and physical sense. Supposedly, he just needed to die for their sins and achieve their "forgiveness," while the actual redemption could occur millennia later. Or so goes the apologist Christian rationale.
Of course, this was a significant departure from authentic Torah faith, so it was roundly rejected by Jews throughout all of history.
All false messianic movements dealt with this same conundrum: how to explain your messianic candidate's failure to achieve actual redemption?
Religious Zionism attempted to address this problem by reducing the redemption to a geographic and political reality. It was claimed that a mass return to the Land, and a revival of supposedly Jewish sovereignty therein, by definition constitute redemption, or at least the "first stage" thereof, i.e. the "physical redemption." All other aspects of redemption would invariably follow, religious Zionism promises, including repentance and "spiritual redemption."
Similar to Christianity's dogma of first and second comings, religious Zionism dissected and dichotomized the messianic advent into two, a physical redemption and a spiritual redemption.
According to religious Zionism, these two stages were predicted in the above-mentioned midrashic teaching that describes the redemption as a gradual process.
However, in authentic Jewish faith, midrash aggada carries little weight with regards to actual practice. While these insightful homilies are studied for their moral/ethical/spiritual value, this sort of midrash is not law and often has no practical application, especially not when it's contradicted by explicit halachic rulings.
In this case, the redemptive process is clearly delineated in Maimonides' Mishneh Torah [7]. There is indeed a process but the sequence is reversed:
"If a king will arise from the House of David who is diligent in Torah and observes its commandments as prescribed by the Written Law and the Oral Law like David, his ancestor, will compel all of Israel to walk in (the way of the Torah) and rectify the breaches in its observance, and fight the wars of God, we may, with assurance, consider him the moshiach (i.e. messiah, iterally the ‘anointed’).
"If he succeeds in the above, builds the Temple in its place, and gathers the dispersed of Israel, he is definitely the moshiach.
"He will then improve the entire world, motivating all the nations to serve God together, as it is stated [8]: 'I will transform the peoples to a purer language that they all will call upon the name of God and serve Him with one purpose.'"
Halacha clearly rules that national repentance led by a human messiah precedes the construction of the third Holy Temple on Mount Zion, and only later does the ingathering of the exiles occur.
Authentic halachic eschatology doesn't recognize a "physical redemption" devoid and independent of a spiritual one.
The correct sequence is clearly described in the same scripture cited above [9]:
"And you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children."
"Then, the Lord, your God, will bring back your exiles and... once again gather you from all the nations, where the Lord, your God, had dispersed you."
Our people's teshuva (return to God) precedes our geographic return to Zion, or at least the national return to Zion that scripture identifies as messianic.
To deal with this obvious conflict, religious Zionism fabricated a new idea, a bold subversion of teshuva, that "returning to God" is a code word for returning to God's land. In religious Zionist dogma, Jews' return to the Land en masse constitutes a "national teshuva" of sorts. Okay, but what about the continuation of the verse: "and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day..."? In a bizarre eisegetic attempt, "all that I am commanding you this day" was interpreted to mean the all-embracing commandment of returning to, and taking "national possession" of, the Land. Funny how "all" that God had commanded us in the plains of Moab -- the entire Book of Deuteronomy and part of Numbers -- is somehow reduced to one single value, the one dictated by religious Zionist theologians.
Religious Zionism mirrors Christianity in this regard as well. Both have reduced our covenant with God comprising six-hundred thirteen eternal Commandments to one single value that eclipses all else [10]. For the latter, it was belief in a savior. For the former, it's belief in a state. In fact, for Religious Zionists, the state is their savior.
[Parenthetically, there’s a debate among Jewish scholars as to whether the virtue of residing in the Land or "taking possession" thereof, is even considered a Biblical Commandment at all. It's not listed among the six-hundred and thirteen Divine commandments in the authoritative Maimonidean code nor is it cited as a rabbinical commandment. Some have suggested that living in the Land is indeed not a particular commandment but rather an all-embracing value that makes observance of many other commandments possible (i.e. those dependent on the holy soil and non-applicable abroad, such as many agricultural commandments). However, this argument itself proves the fallacy of religious Zionism. If residing in the Land is important only because of the commandments one can now fulfill, certainly "all that I am commanding you this day" means quite literally all the Torah's Commandments. "National teshuva," then, cannot be achieved by a national return to the Land's mere geographic borders, but rather by a return to observing all of God's commandments. (emphasis blog) Now, if the national return to Zion had achieved this result, there might have been some grounds for this debate. The reality, however, is sadly the reverse. Hundreds of thousands of formerly-Torah-observant Jews immigrated to the fledgling "Jewish State" and abandoned their observance. This was not by happenstance.The Zionist state had an obvious agenda to dispossess and disenfranchise sephardic and mizrahi Jewish immigrants of their faith-based communities. Just visit the slums and prisons in Israel today and you will discover thousands of men of Moroccan and Yemenite descent, drug dealers, deadbeats, and criminals whose grandparents had been pious and steadfastly Torah-observant Jews in Morocco and Yemen respectively, prior to their communities' alleged "national teshuva." Many of these men had been cruelly separated from their families as young children and forced to grow up in secular kibbutzim by the Zionist regime. I learned of this tragic phenomenon when I conducted passover seders in Israel's highest-security civilian prison in the late 1980s.]
The question about whether a large-scale return to Zion before the actual redemption was halachically permissible is a different question, not germane to this discussion, and quite frankly, a distraction to the real dangers of Zionism given what we now know [11].
Rather, what we're discussing is the odious deception of religious Zionism by endorsing a false messianic movement, one that requires its adherents to subjugate themselves to a modern state as a cardinal religious tenet.
Herein lies the danger of religious Zionism. It objectifies the state by according it messianic status. In religious Zionist dogma, Ben Gurion, Golda, Sharon, Bibi, et al, rule by divine right in the so-called Third Commonwealth. The Zionist oligarchy is on par with the Davidic Kingdom. Total subservience to the state is now a religious duty of supreme priority, or so goes the religious Zionist rationale.
Even without playing the Messiah card, religious Zionism attempts to accord religious authenticity to the lie of statism, that the state's authority constitutes the rule of the people.
Religious Zionism deceptively claims that the state's administration of the Land is equivalent to Jewish national possession of the Land.
By returning to the Land and subjugating yourselves to the state that wields control over its borders, religious Zionism preaches, you are supposedly fulfilling the Torah's commandment: "And you shall possess the Land" [12].
According to religious Zionism, "possessing the Land" means establishing national control over the land by means of a modern state controlled by a nominally-Jewish regime.
Religious Zionism views the regime as "Jewish national leadership," albeit not observant of Torah law. Supposedly atheists like Rabin and Peres are no less sovereign than the wicked King Ahab to whom Prophet Elijah accorded respect due to this royal status [13], or so it is claimed.
The Torah states: "Set over yourself a king whom the Lord your God will choose, from amongst your brethren shall you set a king over yourself..." [14]. This commandment was only incumbent upon Israel once they entered the Land [15].
Religious Zionism claims that this is a commandment to accept the authority of the allegedly sovereign "Jewish State." It declares that Jews are obligated to impose a "national Jewish administration" over the Land by agency of the Zionist regime.
The reality, however, is that the Zionist regime is neither Jewish nor sovereign, nor does it constitute "rule by the people" in any way.
The government includes Jew-hating Arabs and misanthropic atheists who are sworn enemies of the Jewish faith. The state serves not the population but its super-wealthy handlers. The Land is not in any "national Jewish possession." Instead, the Land is ruled by a puppet government that answers to Jew-hating sociopaths, the same predator class that holds the puppet strings to all other modern states.
"Backroom diplomacy" is business-as-usual for the JINO state, secret deals to which the public is oblivious and powerless to oppose. Elections are a sham, since the ruling class controls every major candidate and/or his party. There is no constitution, no rule of law, no recourse. In the name of "keeping you safe," citizens of the state are subject to extraordinary 24/7 surveillance, perhaps more so than in any other nation in earth. The Jews of our Holy Land are perpetual prisoners of the state, its propaganda media, its extreme-Leftist judges and their kangaroo courts, all of which are anything but Jewish.
Ariel Sharon was a non-Jew [16]. Of course, who else could preside over the forced expulsion of thousands of innocent Jews from Gush Qatif?
Bibi is a traitor who funded, enabled, and opened the border to jihadist butchers, allowing them to murder, torture, rape, and abduct defenseless Jews in the south for many hours.
All other prime sinisters likewise behaved not as Jews but as pagans. Any Jewishness they may have demonstrated was a mere token gesture. The Jewish-in-name-only establishment peddles non-Jewish and anti-Torah values. Secularist and LGBTQ wokeness is forced upon the population. The state routinely suppresses Jewish morals, Jewish pride, and Jewish identity.
However, the fact that the "Jewish State" is actually anti-Jewish is peripheral to the true evils of religious Zionism.
Alas, the “Jewish State” isn't controlled by Ahabs and Jezebels as Religious Zionists would have us believe, but by Amalek [17], Israel's nemesis. Whereas Jezebel sought to eliminate only the religious Jews and the Jewish religion [18], Amalek seeks to eliminate the Jewish people in its entirety, “להשמיד להרוג ולאבד” – to destroy, murder, and obliterate all the Jews, young and old, as Haman attempted in this time [18]. Today's Amakekites vie to destroy not just the Jews but the entire human race and subjugate the survivors to totalitarian digital enslavement.
In its endorsement of the statist Zionist objective, religious Zionism is complicit in crimes against humanity, and in particular, unspeakable crimes against the Jewish people.
Religious Zionism is a sacrilege of epic proportions, a cruel and cynical exploitation of religion and religious belief.
A Jew, yehudi, denotes one who rejects polytheism in all its iterations [19]. Zionism is an insidious form of idolatry that objectifies the state. By peddling an idolatrous and sociopathic false messianic movement, religious Zionism betrayed Jews in the darkest of ways. Nothing can be less Jewish.

Rabbi Michoel Green: ANALYSIS Part VI
Part VI: Lies, Lies, and More Lies
The Myth of Palestinianism, Occupation, and Two-State Solutions
In a brilliant web of lies and sophistry, the ruling class created an ethnic group called Palestinians. Prior to 1948, Palestinian meant anyone who lived in Palestine, Jew or gentile. Now, Palestinian refers exclusively to Arabs whose ancestors at any time may have lived in Palestine under Ottoman rule and/or British Mandate. The narrative is that this population was rendered stateless by the "Jewish State" and earnestly wishes to have a state of their own, a “Palestinian Arab” state.
Of course, this story is false. There already is a Palestinian Arab state, one that predates the “Palestinian Jewish” state by two years. It is the State of Transjordan [1], so-called because it occupied the lion share of Palestine across the Jordan River to the east.
After waging a coordinated bloody attack on the Jews of the newly-declared “Jewish state” in 1948 together with the armies of numerous other Arab states, the Palestinian State of Transjordan occupied and annexed Judea and Samaria west of the Jordan river and henceforth changed its name to Jordan. Gaza on the far-western corner of Palestine was occupied by Egypt, and the Golan in the north was occupied by Syria.
There was nothing ethnically unique about the Arabs living in any of these regions. They had simply been part of the pan-Arab population of the Levant. The Arabs of these areas had never sought a “state of their own” in a positive sense. When statehood had been offered to them prior to 1948, they flatly rejected it. An Arab state on only part of western Palestine would have conceded the existence of a “Jewish state” in the remaining coastal portion.
When the hostile Arab states began preparing for war again in 1967, Israel attacked preemptively and these three territories fell under Israeli rule. That is when the Arab inhabitants of these areas began to protest an "illegal occupation" and demanded statehood.
This population, or the demagogues who speak for it, don't want a Palestinian Arab state. There is one, Jordan, and they don't wish to be part of it. When the so-called Palestinians demand a “state of their own,” it means only one thing, the negation of Jewish settlement therein. Their only definition for a state is one purged of Jews.
When Palestinian Arabs protest “illegal settlement,” they don't just mean Kiryat Arba or Itzhar, i.e. Jewish homes in Judea or Samaria. They mean Jewish homes in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Palestinianism, therefore, has no positive self-identity. Instead, it implies a Judenrein Palestine, one from which Jews are forcibly expelled (or worse) "from the river to the sea."
Palestinianism is a hoax. It claims to be a worthy cause advocating for a stateless population, when in fact its true objective is a pretense for genocide and ethnic cleansing. The so-called Palestinian society has become nothing more than a weaponized chess piece for the ruling class of sociopaths, radicalized, indoctrinated, and incited to harbor irrationally xenophobic hostility towards Jews.
Palestinianism has nothing to do with historic Palestine. Palestine was a foreign-occupied region by definition. Never was Palestine a sovereign entity. The last sovereign kingdom that existed there was some 1,900 years ago. The name Palestine had not yet existed at that time. Instead, it was known by its original name Yehuda, land of the yehudim (Jews), or Judea in Latin.
Conversely, “Palestine” was occupied throughout its history, first by Romans from Rome, later by Byzantines from Byzantium, Arabs from Caliphate Arabia, Crusaders from Europe, Turks from Seljuk and Ottoman Empires, or Brits from the UK.
Jews, who descend from Jewish survivors of the former Judean kingdom, lived in Palestine through all this time without interruption, for 1,800 years prior to the founding of the State of Israel from the time the Romans changed the occupied province's name from Judea to Palestine in circa 135 CE [2], and for two additional millennia prior to Rome's occupation and its invented name “Palestine” [3].
By definition, any place called Palestine ought to tolerate and make space for Jews, the true original inhabitants of the Land [4].
Palestinianism has nothing to do with Palestine much like Zionism has nothing to do with Zion (l'havdil [5]).
They are both Trojan horses, fabrications whose objective is to impose tyranny, in Israel, in Gaza, and everywhere else.
Jews are not occupiers of Palestine just as Jews aren't occupiers to Zion.
However, every lie perforce contains a grain of truth [6].
Palestinians and their proponents protest an "occupation," and indeed there is one, except they have conveniently misidentified the occupiers.
"Occupation" implies a foreign power who colonized a land and marginalized its native inhabitants.
Palestinianism identifies Jews as foreign colonizers. Of course, this is patently false. Jews were never foreign to the Land of Judea, Palestine, or whatever you wish to call it.
Who are the actual foreign occupiers? Zionism and its Arab props.
Zionism is the insidiously foreign ideology that has been forced upon the Jewish people by foreign overlords.
Zionism is the occupation. And so is Anti-Zionism and Palestinianism. Foreign powers fabricated these fake ideologies to wreak havoc in the region and impose NWO tyranny.
In truth, Palestinianism is another form of cleverly-disguised statism. "Two-State Solution" is just another name for "Final Solution," since that's the true objective of every modern state, totalitarian subjugation and elimination of the world's human population.
"Two-State Solution" is a hoax of epic proportion.
Jews are already suffering under the first state, the one that's supposedly their own. The last thing they need is another state of unambiguous Jew-haters to finish off the job, Heaven forfend, in collaboration with the nominally-Jewish first State.
Demands to “free Palestine” is a monstrous lie. Palestinian Arabs won't be free in an Islamic police state, or in any modern state, for that matter. It will only intensify their servitude.
No, we don't need a "Two-State Solution." Instead, we need a "No-State Solution." We need salvation from the one State that's already assaulting us with democide. We need a completely new grassroots administration of the land, one that's independent from the cabal of predatory sociopaths.
This would resolve the Arab suffering as well. Once Jews are freed from the democidal state, they're free to defend themselves from all other genocidal enemies. When all mortal threats are eliminated, Jews and Arabs can then learn to live together peacefully, just like they did for generations in historic Palestine.
Moreover, Israel can then be true to its name, the "one who walks upright with God and men and perseveres" [7].
Once we discard the counterfeit state that insidiously usurped our name, we, the true people of Israel can achieve our destiny as People of the Land [8].
May it be speedily in our days.
Notes:
[1] It assumed the name Jordan after occupying Judea and Samaria west of the Jordan River.
[2] “Common Era.” This refers to the time period that Christians refer to as “AD,” or “Anno Domini” or year of their lord. Since we do not wish to ascribe divinity to a human being, Jews typically replace BC and AD with BCE (before common era) and CE (common era) when referencing dates on the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
[3] The Romans sought to revive the name “Philistia,” an ancient tribe that had been hostile to the Israelites and Judeans. The Philistines ceased to exist after the Assyrian conquest and forced exiles of the sixth-century BCE, at least seven or eight hundred years prior to the Roman rehashing of that name. The purpose for the renaming was an obvious attempt at discrediting the authenticity of Jewish entitlement to the Land, since Philistine tribes had inhabited the seacoast prior to Israel's arrival under the leadership of Joshua in 1,273 BCE. However, it should be noted, for history's sake, that the Philistines were not indigenous to the Land. In fact, the very name פלשת (Philistia) connotes invaders. That's because the original Philistines were marauding seafarers, like the later Vikings, who came from overseas, invaded and occupied the Land in pre-Exodus times.
[4] Even though ancient Israel, who had returned from Egyptian exile, conquered the land from its Canaanite inhabitants in the times of Joshua, see Rashi on Genesis 12:6. The Land was originally bequeathed to the descendants of Shem, Abraham's ancestor. The Canaanites, descendants of Ham, subsequently invaded and inhabited the Land, driving out the Shemite inhabitants. When the Land was later promised to Abraham, it was because it had been his family's rightful inheritance. Abraham's descendants Jacob/Israel and his family lived in the Land prior to their descent to Egypt. In Gen. 40:15, Israel's son Joseph related how he had been kidnapped from the “Land of the Hebrews,” i.e. the descendants of Eber, Shem's great-grandson. Abraham had also been called “Abram the Hebrew” due to his descent from Eber in Gen. 14:13. Pharaoh similarly referred to the Israelites as Hebrews. Scripture describes how the Children of Israel are the sole heirs to the legacy of Abraham and Isaac. Edomites and Ishmaelites have no lawful claim to the Land.
[5] L'havdil means "to separate (i.e. between holy and profane)." This term is used when comparing or juxtaposing holy and unholy terms or ideas. In this sentence, "Palestine," "Palestinianism," and "Zionism" are all profane terms. "Zion" is the anglicization of a sacred term that originates in scripture, even if it's been misconstrued by Zionism.
