Burning christian churches is justified -- Israel Jewish leader


Burning of Christian churches in Israel justified, far-Right Jewish leader says
Head of Lehava, known for violent campaign against Jew-Arab assimilation, risks arrest with public defence of setting fire to Holy Land churchesAlso arrested was Meir Ettinger, grandson of the late Meir Kahane, a Jewish rabbi notorious for racist beliefs who was murdered by a Palestinian in 1990.

Mr Gopstein, Lehava's founder, is a one-time member of Mr Kahane's Kach party, which was banned because of its racist philosophy.

However, Shin Bet - Israel's domestic intelligence agency - recently concluded that there are no legal grounds for similarly outlawing Lehava, despite a request from Mr Ya'alon to consider doing so.

Two of the group's members were recently jailed for setting fire to Jerusalem's Jewish-Arab Max Rayne Hand in Hand school last November. Hebrew graffiti reading "Kahane was right" was sprayed on a wall of the school.

Mr Gopstein was arrested along with 20 other Lehava members for suspected incitement to violence last last year but has so far not been charged.

Lehava - whose name means "flame" but is also the Hebrew acronym for "prevening assimilation in the Holy Land" - regularly holds open gatherings in Jerusalem's Zion Square, where members distribute literature warning of the dangers of relationships between Jewish women and Arab men.

The group held a demonstration at which members chanted "death to the Arabs" outside a wedding between a Muslim and Jewish woman who had converted to Islam during last summer's Gaza war.

It also staged a protest against last week's gay pride march in Jerusalem, where an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man attacked six participants, leading to the death of a 16-year-old girl.

Killing christians is justified

JERUSALEM (AP) — The head of the Roman Catholic Church in the Holy Land has warned in an interview that the rise of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government has made life worse for Christians in the birthplace of Christianity.

The influential Vatican-appointed Latin Patriarch, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, told The Associated Press that the region’s 2,000-year-old Christian community has come under increasing attack, with the most right-wing government in Israel’s history emboldening extremists who have harassed clergy and vandalized religious property at a quickening pace.

The uptick in anti-Christian incidents comes as the Israeli settler movement, galvanized by its allies in government, appears to have seized the moment to expand its enterprise in the contested capital.

“The frequency of these attacks, the aggressions, has become something new,” Pizzaballa said during Easter week from his office, tucked in the limestone passageways of the Old City’s Christian Quarter. “These people feel they are protected … that the cultural and political atmosphere now can justify, or tolerate, actions against Christians.”

Spitting on Jews is an ancient Jewish tradition - Yered

Spitting on Jews is an ancient Jewish tradition

You’ve got to hand it to the Israeli Haaretz (The Land) newspaper and its editors, prominent among them are Gideon Levy and Amira Haas.

In a cauldron of madness and turmoil, today Haaretz and the Israeli online blog +972 Magazine (as they have been) are perhaps the only Israeli voices of conscience.

And in its rabid descent into mayhem and chaos bordering on anarchy, Israeli society, under Benjamin Netanyahu and his cohorts of rightwing xenophobic coalition of convicted felons and religious ideologues, is finally unmasking its heretofore shellacked over and camouflaged fault lines of Israel’s past and present.

The Gutsy Haaretz did what no major American or European media dared do.

On October 3, 2023 under the title Prominent Settler Activist Says Spitting on Christians ‘Ancient Jewish Custom’, Haaretz reported that “Israeli settler Elisha Yered, who is suspected of involvement in the killing of Palestinian teen Qosai Mi’tan, made the comment amid a rise in incidents of Jews spitting on or near Christian worshippers in Jerusalem’s Old City.” For the disgusting ocular proof, the reader is invited to view footage of a spree of spitting incidents by Settler and Haredi males of all ages, from the 5-year-old to the elderly.

Elisha Yered’s October 3, 2023 comment on Twitter “that spitting at Christians is ‘an ancient Jewish custom,’” drew Haaretz’s ire. The daring Haaretz report on Yered’s comment is merely an ongoing journalistic investigation reporting on this sordid practice, many of which were filmed on Sunday and Monday. This most recent news report according to the Haaretz, “ gives more evidence to the fact that these attacks have become widespread.”

When I was a child in the early and mid 1950s still living in Jerusalem, my uncle had a much smaller version of a Bed Bath and Beyond store. Located in upper Bakaa, a southwest suburb of Jerusalem, the store was positioned on the Jerusalem Bethlehem road. Because we are Christian Palestinians, my uncle closed his store on Sundays, yet opened it on Saturdays. We, a handful of Palestinian families, and mostly off the ships European Jews, lived in this suburb. Practically all of the Saturday customers were secular Jewish men or women. And on Saturdays observing Jewish men (men only), dressed in their Shabat best, would walk by the store and spit on the inside.

And each Saturday at least three such dastardly acts played out. And yes, there were repeat offenders.

Most of those promenading throughout the day on Saturdays were Haredi Jews of European (Ashkenazi) extraction. Their trademark attire was white shirts, full-length dark suits, and skull caps over which a shtreimel, better known as a fedora, would crown their heads. As a youngster, I always wondered what furry animal had to give up its fur for the massive, round, headdress, akin to a crown of fur. While some of the Haredi men would expectorate on the go, others would take one or two steps past the store’s threshold, stand defiantly on the inside, take a deep breath, and spit their saliva and phlegm on the tiled floor.

Because The Jerusalem Bethlehem Road had inviting wider sidewalks conducive for leisurely promenades, the Sephardic (Oriental) Jewish men would wander from their ostracized and segregated neighborhoods to the south to enjoy their Shabat strolls. Like their Haredi counterparts, the Sephardic men were afflicted with the same spitting malady, and they differed in only one manner: armed with sacks of roasted sunflower, watermelon, and peanuts, the Sephardic men (mind you, only men) would fill their mouths with spent sunflower seed shells, walk by, or step into the store, and spew a jet of saliva and an abundance of slimy shells on the store floor.

So much for tolerance and Shabat behavior after a morning at the synagogue.

Our Saturday family routine was as follows: by 8 a.m. my twin brother and I would trek the half-kilometer distance from our house to Uncle Naim’s store to spend the morning hours; with children out of the way, our widowed mother loaded the tub of her vintage hand-cranked wringer Maytag washing machine and performed the mundane household chores; in between customers uncle Naim would, and in preparation for Sunday morning church attendance, place us in his lap to trim our nails and or cut our hair, but mostly to read to us from his favorite poetry and other books.

Only seven years old at the time, Ramzy and I had to witness and experience the spitting sprees with much anguish. And what surprised us most was Naim’s stoic resilience at the ghastly behavior of adult men and occasionally, their copycat children. And why do they do this sort of thing? Why don’t you tell them to stop? Why don’t you report this ghoulish behavior to the police? And so many other questions our 7 and 8-year-old mouths would utter.

Niam’s responses are deeply inscribed in the cortex of my brain: They don’t know any better, they are misguided, you should never emulate this behavior, one must forgive and forget, and God will forgive them for their unbecoming behavior were some of the responses we heard.

Standing in a corner behind one of the doors was a broom, a mop, and a bucket full of disinfectant. And many times a container of vinegar from which a generous sprinkling was poured as an added cleanser.

October 1 through October 6 is the week of Sukkot, a week-long Jewish holiday during which the fall harvest is celebrated. And sadly 70 years after my Jerusalem sojourn this uncivilized behavior of spitting on non-Jews has become a brazenly institutionalized behavior by Israeli Settlers and some of their Haredi supporters. The Haaretz reported that “tens of thousands of Jews joined in events and prayers for the Sukkot holiday during which many of the spitting incidents were recorded.” Footage of the Haredim, men only, of course, and children of all ages are seen spitting on Christian tourists (from Latin America and the Philipines) on their pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Dressed in their traditional Haredi orthodox attire, The videos depict Haredim of all ages marching in the narrow streets of Jerusalem and spitting on Christian tourists carrying crucifixes.

How come American media ignores this egregious behavior? And, are there any adults in Israel’s ultra-religious community?

In his post, Yered states “It’s a good time to mention that spitting near [Christian] priests or churches is an ancient Jewish custom, and there’s even a special blessing in Jewish law that should be recited when you see a church.” He goes on to say “Perhaps under the influence of Western culture we have somewhat forgotten what Christianity is, but I think the millions of Jews who suffered in exile from the Crusades, the torture of the [Spanish] Inquisition, blood libels and mass pogroms – will never forget.”

To his credit, Tourism Minister Haim Katz condemned this thinking and iterated that even though this “is an ancient and even acceptable custom,” it “ is horrible. The actions of a handful of extremists make people hate Judaism, damage Israel’s image and affect tourism.”

Likewise, Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Israel David Lau and Religious Services Minister Malkieli condemned the repeated spitting attacks on Christian tourists.

And I am still waiting to hear similar condemnations of spitting attacks on Palestinian Christians and attacks on their churches and cemeteries, including the unconscionable attacks on the Al Aksa mosque.

Concerned about the spitting phenomenon “ Last week, chief of the Israeli army’s Central Command, Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fuchs, ordered Yered to be barred from the West Bank for a period of five months and prohibited him from contacting five known settler activists.”

In closing, had the incident involved Christians spitting on Jews anywhere in the world, those doing the spitting would be accused – as they should be – of being anti-Semitic, and it would have been a 24/7 news cycle.

Until and unless Israelis and their supporters around the world have an honest discussion about justice, xenophobia (in all its forms), colonial settler expansionism, tolerance, pogroms and daily killing sprees sanctioned by a government attempting to change its political system so as to get a corrupt Netanyahu off the hook and give its religious fanatics more power, Israel is on its way to more chaos, more anarchy, and certainly more fragmentation.

The birkat haminim is a prayer in the weekday Jewish liturgy for the removal of those categories of humans who prevent messianic redemption. Its earliest known texts, themselves medieval, curse apostates (to Christianity), sectarians, Christians, enemies of Israel, and the insolent empire. Jewish sources place the origin of the prayer in the late first century, in response to an ambiguous group challenging rabbinic authority. Some Church Fathers knew of the prayer and complained that Jews were cursing Christians. The origins of this prayer, were they knowable, should illuminate early Christian-Jewish relations. However, the story of the prayer continues until today. Drawing on the shifting liturgical texts and polemics and apologetics surrounding the prayer, Langer traces the transformation of the birkat haminim from what functioned without question in the medieval world as a Jewish curse of Christians, through its early modern censorship by Christians, to its modern transformation into a generalized petition that God remove abstract evil. Christian censorship itself had opened the door to this transformation by destabilizing the prayer’s language. The true transformations in its meaning, however, accompanied Jewish integration into Western culture and consequent changes in mindset. Thus, even when censors ceased to concern themselves with Jewish texts, changes to the text only enhanced the trajectories already in place. The prayer both lost its function as a curse and its references to any specific categories of living human beings.

Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), a military task force, maintaining peace in Plateau, Bauchi and Kaduna States, has uncovered a gun factory at Kafachan, Jama’a Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.

Capt. James Oya, the Media Officer of the operation, disclosed this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Jos.
He explained that the feat was possible owing to a week-long operation conducted by its troops.

”In line with our resolve to deal decisively with sponsors and perpetrators of crime as well as mopping up illegal weapons in our joint operation area, our troops have uncovered a gun manufacturing factory in Kafanchan, Jama’a LGA of Kaduna State.

”This followed a week-long intelligence operation that finally led to the capture of a wanted gunrunner, Napoleon John who has been on our wanted list.

” The suspect, who confessed to the crime, led troops to a concealed factory where arms of different calibre were sold by another miscreant identified as Monday Dunia.

”Dunia confessed to have been in the business for more than five years, fuelling the crisis in Kaduna State and neighbouring Plateau.

”A thorough search of the factory led to the recovery of 22 different weapons, including seven pistols, two locally fabricated AK-47 rifles, two military grade AK-47 rifles and nine revolvers,” he said.

Oya said that its troops also recovered one submachine gun, rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, machine tools and a gas cylinder.”In a follow-up operation held between Thursday night and early hours of Friday, troops raided another hideout in Adua 1 community of Kafanchan and recovered additional two AK-47 rifles, two revolver rifles, live rounds of 9mm and 7.62 ammunitions, six dangerous daggers, one hacker axe.

ISLAMIC ROOTS OF PSYCHOLOGY: The solutions to Mental Health challenges as an solutions

By, Dr. Rania Awad
( _Professor of Clinical Psychology, Stanford University School of Medicine & Founder of Stanford Muslim Health and Islamic Psychology Lab._ )


Throughout the history of Islam, numerous scholars and personalities made their contributions to the development of Islamic philosophy and psychology. The psychological tradition in Islam takes its roots from the Islamic Golden Age that occurred in Middle Ages from the 8th to 15th century. Islam scholars such as al-Ghazali stated that there is a connection between spiritual life and psychological wellbeing. Those who could not maintain their mental health were at risk of developing abnormalities within their mental condition or struggled to sustain a close relationship with God.

Other major contributors to psychology in medieval Islam include Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi, Abu-Ali al-Husayn ibn Abdallah ibn-Sina, and Abbu Zayd al-Balkhi, among others. Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi was one of the first scholars to provide descriptions and treatment plans for mental issues in his works El-Mansuri and Al-Hawi. Abu-Ali al-Husayn ibn Abdallah ibn-Sina was the author of Canon in Medicine, where he described conditions such as depression and male sexual dysfunction. In addition, he was one of the first scholars that described the connection between mental and physical state. Abu Zayd al-Balkhi had one of the most complex approaches to mental health treatment. While developing positive thinking in his patients, he managed to connect factors such as physical activity, housing, and nutrition to the mental state of a person. In addition, al-Balkhi identified differences between neurosis and psychosis and categorized neurosis into smaller groups, namely obsession, sadness and depression, fear and anxiety, and anger and aggression. Hence, his findings are another example of how psychology in medieval Islam is relevant to findings of modern psychology.

The development of psychology during the second part of the 20th century was addressed by Islamic psychologists who wanted to match the latest development in psychology to the Islamic perspective. Islamic psychological movement aimed at adding the spiritual element to the trends in psychological science. This movement essentially resulted in the creation and development of the dialogue between eastern and western psychologists. This exchange of ideas was further reinforced by international organizations such as the Indian Council on Islamic Perspective in Psychology (ISIPP) that emerged in 2016. The ISIPP conducted numerous seminars and meetings that contributed to the dialogue between the East and the West. The exchange of ideas affects psychological education in Islamic countries and makes western colleges and universities more inclusive. The International Association of Islamic Psychology is another organization that is devoted to developing Islamic Psychology.
In addition, the teaching of Prophet Muhammad addressed the spiritual needs of people who suffer. As such, prayers, tasbeeh, and recitation will help in reducing anxiety and feelings of uncertainty associated with stress and grief. It is also important to always remember Allah. Morning and evening zikr routine ensures the connection to the divine and helps people to cope with stress.The understanding of Prophet Muhamad’s approach to psychology comes with a thorough study of his life and teachings. There are many examples of how the Prophet experienced emotional hardships known to every human. For example, grief, stress, and other emotional difficulties during the prophethood. One of the episodes where Prophet Muhammad experienced year-long grief after the death of his wife Khadija and his uncle Aby Talib. His sadness was so intense that historians point to this period of life as a “year of sadness”. Another example can be seen in the life of the Prophet Jakub, who experienced intense grief and sorrow after separation from his son. Furthermore, those feelings led to his partial loss of eyesight. Hence, even the prophets were subjected to the emotional hardships, stress, and grief that are part of human experience.It is crucial to note that Prophet Muhammad had also addressed the aspects of mental health in his teachings. He provided guidance on how to deal with mental health issues and address the stress and grief in one’s life. The Prophet taught his companions that suffering might also be a blessing; hence, people who suffer developed healthy coping mechanisms for their traumas. This allowed a cognitive reframing of suffering into something that provides benefit. Secondly, Prophet taught his companions to embrace their emotions. After the embrace, one should take responsibility for the regulation of his emotions in a healthy manner.The management of emotions can be done easier if holistic habits such as sleeping, eating, and exercise are taken care of. The Prophet encouraged his followers not to suffer in silence and seek help and cure among their brothers and sisters. Those recommendations match with recommendations that modern psychologists give for the maintenance of general mental health that was developed more than a thousand years later.Historical analysis reveals that the last sermon, commonly referred to as khutabat al-wida, delivered by Prophet Muhammad, has become a fundamental religious hallmark among Muslims. The sermon, which was delivered during his last pilgrimage, has become the center of the Islamic narrative. Different sources have presented the sermon, which has led to the difficulty of identifying the actual origin of the initial copy of the speech. It is important to point out that based on the sermon and the present concerns in the Islamic faith, it is evident that a few issues have emerged regarding the fundamental practices associated with the religion before and after the death of Prophet Muhammad, as illustrated in this essay.Prophet Muhammad gave his last sermon on the Mount of Arafat, where he focused on the key issues associated with Islam as a religion. The exhortations were founded on the basics of the Quran. The Prophet called on Muslims to bear witness that there exists only one God, Allah. He stressed how all humans are equal and created by God. This theme in his sermon goes hand in hand with the element of human dignity, which he also addressed in his last speech. He affirmed that as embedded in the Quran, the most honored before Allah is one who is God-fearing. He called on the believers to preach Islam to every corner of the world and fulfill the mission. He reminded the people of the role and essence of brotherhood. He expressed his sentiment on the need to respect the rulers by being obedient and considerate. In his sermon, he called on Muslims to embrace human dignity, uphold the rights of women, remain honest, and foster individual accountability. He also addressed controversial issues such as adultery, repayment of the debt, the abolition of hood revenge practices, and the abolition of interests.
