yankel berelParticipant
Hebrew: פְּלִשְׁתִּים, romanized: Pəlištīm; LXX Koine Greek: Φυλιστιείμ, romanized: Phulistieím; Latin: Philistaei – were ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan during the Iron Age in a confederation of city-states generally referred to as Philistia.
[pasted from wikipedia]
—————————————————-note : latin – philistaei
not ‘palestinian’ as AAQ would have us believe
AAQ is playing loose -again- with the facts
.
this is the second time ….
.
.the first time AAQ ‘changed’ it , by his own admission , from ‘plishtim’ to ‘palestinian’
this is part of an established pattern of inconsistency with fact and reality ….
.
.
.yankel berelParticipantthe question was …. lets remember
not about russia or china ….
but specifically about israel and its supreme court
we do not change the goalposts in the middle of the game – right ?
whether the SC’s unauthorized [critical fact , not to be ignored] grab of power
at the expense of the elected representatives
renders israel into a pseudo democracy or not
to decide this one should employ HIS OWN critical thinking abilities
not outsource them to others
you do not even know who they are in person ….
.
.
.
blind cessation of thinking
.
.
against everything AAQ should stand for …..

.November 11, 2025 8:48 pm at 8:48 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2470823yankel berelParticipanthello how are you.
nice to hear from you for once
normally you conveniently disappear and do not answer
but I will not do the same
now re your post
do you know that official weapons embargoes against the medina
means more sakana for the yehudim on the frontline chvsh
and more sakana for the yehudim at home
and means extra hizuk for their enemies to kill them chvsh
do you know that policymakers in the US and in other countries from where those weapons are sourced
quote the anti zionist fools/ba’alei ga’ava who are on public record against the medina
as justification for denying this materiel support
thus endangering both the yehudim on the front and the yehudim at home
what I wrote here is only one part
so yes
their crooked propaganda is dripping with blood
its not hyperbole
its reality
.
.yankel berelParticipantTrue Torah Jews Org site would even say that the sun is not shining in the middle of the day if that would benefit their ideology.
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ really thinks that the leftist establishment likes the frum settlers who do serve ?
they are looked at with deep disdain and are considered abominable and hideous
even serving is not going to get the haredim sympathy
there is only one thing which will get them sympathy …
and that that is – joining the multitudes who threw their religion to the wayside
at the instigation of those very same secularists
time to open his eyes to …… reality , reality , reality ….
cannot say this pivotal word often enough ….

my comment was specifically re the non comparison between the choice then and the choice now
it almost reminds me of comparing the choice between vanilla and chocolate ice cream vs the choice between literal life and death
you seem from your answer to have missed my point
btw – that’s an example of what I mean when I complain that you change topics ….

there were no trains filled with jews going either way
not from the soviet side and not from the nazi side
read and establish the reality
.November 10, 2025 5:29 pm at 5:29 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2470283yankel berelParticipantthe torah from the NK is twisted and one sided
totally ignoring the opinions of the great rabbanim
and totally ignoring the clear pikuah nefesh danger hanging over masses of our brothers and sisters
that’s not called torah
that’s twisted torah used as propaganda
that’s dangerous propaganda
recognized as such by 99 % of orthodox jews
propaganda dripping with blood
blood from our own brothers and sisters
.yankel berelParticipantlol.
katan is arguing about clear verifiable facts
avnei nezer does dispute it and points to the list in this essay
hashmatat haposkim
katan would even say that the sun is not shining in the middle of the day if that would benefit his ideology
.November 10, 2025 12:21 pm at 12:21 pm in reply to: Tiferes Shlomo and the modern State of Israel #2469956yankel berelParticipantso many questions ….
so many questions katan , somejew and ujm are ignoring …
why are they not answering ….
does it have anything to do with the possibility that they simply do not have the answers …..
does it have anything to do with the possibility that they fear that their own answers will incriminate their own shittot …..
.
.yankel berelParticipantLol.
AAQ is looking down on haredim for their ‘groupthink’ and lack of independent thought
all the while
AAQ’s comments reveal astonishing groupthink and lack of independent thought
as is obvious in his blind adherence to ‘indexes’ and ‘scores’ , compiled by ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ needs to be interrogated stasi like
that’s the only way to keep him in some connection with reality
otherwise he ‘ll keep on suggesting totally disconnected suggestions and inferring that the haredim are to blame for rejecting his fantasies
that’s besides his habitual changing of the goalposts smack in the middle of the game
.
yankel berelParticipantNaive AAQ
Unelected SC [illegally] appropriated for themselves the right to cancel laws passed by the elected MK’s if they deem it ‘unreasonable’ .
Obviously SC deems refraining from gender folly ‘unreasonable’ ,
so there is no use in passing such a law ….
.yankel berelParticipantbtw steinzalts was controversial
I myself remember many prominent rabanim coming out publicly against his bonafides
on thev other hands many prominent rabanim did defend him
so in other words – he was controversial ….
.November 10, 2025 2:07 am at 2:07 am in reply to: Plan B – An Open Letter to Ultra Orthodox Community Leaders #2469863yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
bet that occupants of BOTH trains in your mashal of 1939
would literally give away everything they owned to be able to be on either plane , no difference whether to JFK or to Israel ….
BH that the dilemma today is between JFK and Israel and not between the Soviets and the Nazis …..
.
.November 10, 2025 2:07 am at 2:07 am in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2469862yankel berelParticipantif somejew’s INTENT is to get jews to reject normative judaism as accepted by the gdolei yisrael ,
and/or adopt the false kana’ut of NK , does that turn somejew into a meisit umadiach ??at least when we use somejew’s reasoning ….
food for thought ….
.
.yankel berelParticipant@ pure yiddishkeit
you omit the holy avnei nezer who was holek on the holy satmar rav
in other words it is a mahloket rabanim whether the 3 oaths are at all halachically applicable ….
..
yankel berelParticipantIsraeli democracy does not merely ‘have weak points’
It is being hijacked ,even as we speak.
By unelected crooks in an illegal way , aided and abetted by collaborators and useful idiots.
It will not be restored until the downfall of those crooks.
the above is a reflection of plain unadorned reality .
ignore it at your own peril .
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ
gerar is NOT a ‘palestinian’ city
it is a pelishtim city
substantial difference
another example of AAQ playing loose with reality ….
.November 9, 2025 5:02 pm at 5:02 pm in reply to: Tiferes Shlomo and the modern State of Israel #2469777yankel berelParticipantThought that somejew went on an extended holiday
but then he popped up on one of the other threads ….
so mr somejew …
we were in the middle of a conversation …
you were going to prove that zionism is a contradiction to the ikarei emuna ….
you were even going to pinpoint which of the ikarei emuna it contradicts and why …
you were going to prove that it is impossible to be a religious zionist , because those two terms have to contradict each other …
am still waiting ….
.
yankel berelParticipantAAQ :
… German Jews in British internment camps – they were learning about wars of Talmudic times, but totally ignored Normandy and such …
——————–Another example of AAQ’s tenuous grasp on reality .
There were no German jews in British internment camps at the time of Normandy , in the summer of 1944 ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ :
…. But, as the numbers I quoted above show, Israeli democracy is in a reasonable state overall and is improving over time ….
———————an excellent example of obstinate adherence to the religion of useful idiocy …..
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ
I rather think that the problem with our arguments is
or
that we lack a common starting point
or
that the arguments are not being conducted in good faith [changing subjects and ignoring reality]
or
both
.
.yankel berelParticipantYaakov yosefs posts are refreshing ….
.November 9, 2025 12:38 pm at 12:38 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2469390yankel berelParticipantlol.
99.99% of orthodox jews reject NK ‘s dangerous folly …
according to somejews crooked reasoning , 99.99% of orthodox jews are mu’m ….
if someone wants to know the definition of lunacy , he should read somejew’s posts ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantmost of square’s comments above have merit …
but the heading does not
there are many non zionists who do not hold the oaths as halachically applicable
and nevertheless are not zionists
for many good and valid reasons
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ is repeating his folly by proving his point by …. repeating his folly ….
if AAQ would bother to read and internalize my [repeated] post[s] regarding the idiocy of outsourcing your own critical thinking abilities to others
then he would not repeat his reliance on other people judgements re the ‘score’ of countries in their self designed ‘indexes’.
he would use HIS OWN sound judgement and stop being the useful idiot he is making himself into
his blind reliance on these brainwashers [and brainwashed] is fatally detrimental to his discovery of reality as it is
which is the first prerequisite in formulating sound solutions for the problems facing us.
instead he is , by his willful blindness, perpetuating the very problems he claims to address ….
.yankel berelParticipantYaakov yosef to AAQ :
…. now do you begin to understand what is going on? ….
—it seems that there is an inner , unexplained resistance in AAQ’s psyche , blocking him from ‘understanding what is going on’ …
AAQ prides himself on his openmindedness and preparedness to hear
from people from other and different persuasions and their arguments
why is he closed minded when it comes to establishing what reality really is ????
.
.November 9, 2025 12:37 pm at 12:37 pm in reply to: Plan B – An Open Letter to Ultra Orthodox Community Leaders #2469385yankel berelParticipantCommunity Leaders. Please implement common sense. It would be really sad to see Jewish Americans losing their yiddishkeit because of an ill advised and unprepared move. When your leaders lose their minds and see you as an extension of the state of Israel, it wont help to convince them otherwise. It is a sure call for hizuk in torah and ma’asim tovim !! If you all go to Florida or to Israel – it could happen there too. Hashem is calling his children home , back to Him and they refuse to listen, instead they speak about Aliyah ! Thats ridiculous! Strengthen your selves with Emunah and come HOME , back to your loving Father in heaven ! Anywhere on the globe ! Do not move without consulting a Rav who knows you , your family and your situation .
Otherwise , you are foolishly endangering your own and your children’s yahadut !November 8, 2025 6:37 pm at 6:37 pm in reply to: Tiferes Shlomo and the modern State of Israel #2469122yankel berelParticipanthello mr somejew
this is not a competition in intellect at all
this is a conversation re the proof that , zionism nowadays, is against any ikarei emuna
where we are still waiting for somejew to substantiate this claim
we are waiting along time already …..
.
yankel berelParticipantAAQ
you are totally misunderstanding the essence of the IDF and the leftist establishment in the legal system and the MSM
so much so , that your suggestions sound like applicable for the moon …
===
you really think that the leftist establishment likes the frum settlers who do serve ?
they are looked at with deep disdain and are considered abominable and hideous
time to open your eyes to …… reality , reality , reality ….
cannot say this pivotal word often enough
this word should lodge itself in your skull and not move until it enters your brain …..
.
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
you left out part of my post
seems that this rov knows you well …
or is zocheh that shamayim put the right words in his mouth ….
…………..
that was the correct guess , it definitely is one of those two.=================================================================
re this rav ‘s reaction to your query ….hazon ish writes in letter that if there is no common starting point between two divergent opinions , then arguments are futile
it seems that this rave sized you up – even without reading your posts – as someone with whom he has no common starting points
thats why he withdrew from the argument …..
.
yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
I will repeat :
you change the subject of the argument
the original statement was re comparing : enemy civilians’ life vs own soldiers life
so you changed that to : own soldiers life vs other political or personal objectives
like getting to berlin before the US or a competing soviet general ….
—
was the conversation changed in your post ? yes or no ?
.
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
@yaakov yosefas introduction :
we have to use our own sechel rather than outsource our own critical thinking to others ,
especially when we outsource it to those , either less qualified , or more biased than us , or both …
therefore we will have to reexamine all information we take from the outside world , check the facts and reality and thereafter
employ a thorough and critical spotlight to determine what we do or do not accept
otherwise we will fall into the same trap millions of useful idiots fell into.
—
now re the supreme court ….
there are two terms which are very important : de facto and de jure
the reality is that the supreme court calls the shots in ey
so I agree that de facto the supreme courts decisions are binding
—-
the enabling act of 1933 was passed in berlin with over two thirds of the votes
and was de facto law in germany for the next 12 years
but de jure was not the law of the land
thus illegal
therefore all subsequent decrees and regulations which derived their power from this enabling law
were as illegal dejure as their source
same with supreme court in israel
.
yankel berelParticipant@yaakov yosef
I could kiss each and every word you wrote in your post to AAQ
it is time AAQ opens up to reality …
.
.November 5, 2025 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2468648yankel berelParticipantmy cousin in Belgium tells me that there is one of the nturei karta there – originally from Manchester England
who travelled to Iran to participate in the holocaust denying conference there
according to ujm
he is covered by the staiplers so called ‘love and respect’ letter ….
ma la’asot …
this very same neturei karta person continued with his nefarious activities ….
and initiated legal action against shechita and mila claiming that they are against animal and human rights
my question to ujm – is that ok ?
maybe we should use the staiplers letter
after all the staipler is referring to neturei karta ? !
who bizhut the letter , enjoy blanket immunity for all their future actions …… ????
ujm ‘s position is plain ridiculous .
.
yankel berelParticipant– form a cybersecurity unit from the computer-educated charedim
– pass army tests or equivalent
– propose to the army to deploy you as a unit
– bonus: include farsi-speaking sefardi charedim
– extra bonus: perform some action against sonei yisroel on your own to demonstrate your capabilities. There are plenty of hackers who do that.

yankel berelParticipantaaq:
rav to aaq : we can’t fully understand politics of another country
—————————–if the nail could talk , he would say: oh , my head hurts , someone banged it so hard …
seems that this rov knows you well …
or is zocheh that shamayim put the right words in his mouth ….
—-
baruch shekivanti – aaq is not sufficiently acquainted with reality in ey .
it shows in nearly every second comment he makes about the situation there
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
aaq, I am disappointed that you repeatedly non-respond to me. ignoring the issue raised is NOT an acceptable response to a clear fact . If you have an answer , gezunte heit, let us know what your answer is. Simple ignoring or change of subject might work when you talk to your close friends, but it is not bringing any clarity to an online argument with people you do not know. Try harder.
November 5, 2025 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm in reply to: Plan B – An Open Letter to Ultra Orthodox Community Leaders #2468643yankel berelParticipantsquare seems as brainwashed and closed to facts and reason as somejew and katan ….
seems that I have to ask mehila from all three …..
.
.yankel berelParticipant@yaakov yosef
as you rightly point out , many of the activities of the supreme court in Israel are plainly illegal , as is obvious to any astute and objective observer
.to use their illegal judgement to label non enlistees as criminals
is the moral equivalent of thieves sending innocent lifesaving ambulance drivers to jail
not only are they thieves who ought to pay for their thievery
they also are committing a terrible injustice by jailing innocents and hampering the ambulance drivers’ vital vocation
and to top it all off – the crooked thieves end up giving a mussar derasha to the lifesavers of the ambulance service
if this sounds surreal … that’s because it really is ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantOh hello mr somejew …
have not seen you for a long time …..
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
…. yb quotes chazal and his rebeim in a way that sometimes run against my preconceived ideas and I disagree with his logic because of those ideas and I am looking for the logical argument to present.
—-
the above would be an accurate self description of AAQ ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ changes the subject of the argument
original statement was re comparing enemy civilians’ life vs own soldiers life
so AAQ changes that to own soldiers life vs other political or personal objectives
like getting to berlin before the US or a competing soviet general ….
this is happening too often …
.
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
… this is “nullification of democracy” when both sides reject the others as legitimate. This is not a good siman.
[aaq]—-
this a very good siman
this is a siman of honesty and calling things as they are
instead of politically correct hiding behind feel good slogans
which have no resemblance to reality
.
.
this is not a nullification of democracy at allthis the exact opposite ,
this the DEFENSE of democracy
.
.democracy is translated as ‘will of the people’
whenever nazi’s , communists or crooks masquerading as judges and attorneys, subvert the will of the people
then democracy is in mortal danger
.
.to reject the abovementioned nazi’s , communists or crooks as illegitimate
is absolutely life saving for democracy
your whitewashing of those crooks is the ultimate death knell to democracy !
you should stop your insidious attacks on democracy
.
.yankel berelParticipant@ujm
@non politicalthe concept of zayin tuvei ha’ir is similar to the concept of democracy
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
… could you in return ask people to stop saying “arrested for learning Torah”? [aaq]
——————–suggestion accepted.
we will stop saying that .
We will rather say the following true and correct statement : “arrested for dedicating their life for Torah”.
those blatant illegal summonses [or rather kidnapping threats] are the diametric opposite to a life of dedication to torah
at least in the opinion of 99 % of all torah scholars on this planet , as measured in quantity and quality
.
.November 5, 2025 8:53 am at 8:53 am in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2468021yankel berelParticipantseems I am winning my bet here
ujm is not responding to the clear objective understanding that staipler is not referring to the neture karta as we call them
not those from once , not those from now
he is referring to the edah people
that much is clear from the context
otherwise mr ujm , WHY IS HE SUDDENLY ADDRESSING THEM in the middle of the letter about voting ?
WHY IS HE NOT ADDRESSING THE EDAH PEOPLE ??
who are the ones who are on record to prohibit voting , and who the staipler mentions specifically in his letter ?
any answer to those questions – mr ujm ??
or are you made out of the same materiel as your compatriots katan and somejew
who only speak when their automated answering machine is working and properly preprogrammed ???
.
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
its not a cute proof at all …
its a gross distortion and no proof whatsoever …
it sounds more like willful blindness ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantthose so called self appointed ‘guardians of the law’ are nothing more than corrupt and self serving ‘distorters of the law’
.
.the reason why so many are still falling for their charade
is that the so called ‘guards of democracy’ , the ‘free’ press , are
as corrupted as their brothers in crime on the plum comfortable chairs in the courtrooms and legal offices
.hope that their downfall is imminent
and will signify the restoration of power to where it legally belongs …. the innocent citizens of this country .
