IMPERFECT DEMOCRACY
Rabbi Berel Wein @historyrabbi Only time will tell how this drama will finally work itself out. For more, see: http://www.rabbiwein.com/blog/post-1653.html …
Democracy has worked wonders for the State of Israel. It has not done so well for any of our neighbors.
We live in an age with no simple answers. We must be wary of predicting that democracy or any other form of rule will salvage the situation.
Hamas was also democratically elected in the Gaza Strip. Like in Hitler’s Germany, no new elections have been held in Gaza since.
Hitler’s rise to power was by democratic means, but once in power, he did away with the nuisance of elections.

Quiet will be met by quiet, and force will be met by force. It is the only reasonable option left in our most dangerous area of the world.
Israel has tried for many decades to reach a peaceful accommodation with its Arab neighbors. It has been rebuffed time and time again.
It just continues to shoot rockets, knowing that it only guarantees that its own population in Gaza will pay the price.
Hamas and its rockets are aimed at us all, not just Leftists or right-wingers. Hamas does not care about ANY Jew’s life.
The police, who were also in the shelter, had to maintain order. But the absurdity of the situation did not register on everybody.
Both groups of demonstrators ran to the same shelter. Even there, the argument continued.
. . . by shooting six rockets at Tel Aviv at that very moment.
The police came between the two groups, both of which were shouting at each other and coming close to blows. Then, Hamas intervened. . .
That night in Tel Aviv, a small group of Leftists held a rally to end the Gaza campaign. Another group of Israeli citizens counter-protested
…while teaching Pirkei Avot, the air raid siren sounded. It was the first time in my career that anyone SHOT at me while I was speaking.
In my years of public speaking, I’ve gotten many reactions to my words. Once or twice I’ve been heckled. But last Shabbat afternoon…

Pillay alarmed at mounting civilian toll in Gaza, appeals to all sides to abide by international law
US Ambassador to the UN, Keith Harper, has stated that he intends to confront the anti-Israel bias in the UN Human Rights Council. Ambassador Harper said, “It’s not going to be easy, this bias is deep, its continual, its structural. No country should have to deal with the kind of bias that has occurred with the council from year to year.”
This is precisely why the international community will never confront Israel.
Why is the international community afraid to confront Israel on Palestine. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Wir wundern uns sehr, dass die Innenministerin auf EU-Ebene ein Resettlement Konzept vorschlägt, das von ihr und ihren VorgängerInnen immer kathegorisch abgelehnt worden ist. Dazu kommt, dass bei der Aufnhame von syrischen Flüchtlingen, die zum Teil nach diesem Resettlement Modell funktioniert (UNHCR macht die Vorprüfung und die Flüchtlinge werden direkt nach Österreich gebracht, wo sie sofort Asyl bekommen) keinerlei Konzept zur Betreuung und Integration dieser Flüchtlinge existiert. Vielmehr werden die Flüchtlinge von Traiskirchen in die Bundesländer überstellt und dort meist in Grundversorgungsquartieren untergebracht. Diese Quartiere sind meist nicht dazu geeignet Flüchtlinge mit besonderen Betreuungsbedarf aufzunehmen.
