Giving a Bad Eitza to Anti-Zionists

Sefer “Vayoel Moshe” writes that just as one may not judge a case in which they have a personal interest (like city inhabitants regarding the city bathhouse), likewise Bnei Eretz Yisrael cannot decide on anything to do with Zionism. And therefore we all ought to listen to him, instead (perhaps overstated, but that’s the gist of his position, certainly as understood by the public).

Ah, but there’s a problem; every Jew owns four Amos in Eretz Yisrael, including our betters suffering luxury in holy Galus Williamsburg. So, they cannot judge either!

This must not be taken lightly. As Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 37:21 states:

דברים אלו תלויים בדעת הדיין ועוצם בינתו שיבין עיקר המשפטים וידע דבר הגורם לדבר אחר ויעמיק לראות אם ימצא לזה העד צד הנאה בעדות זו אפי’ בדרך רחוקה ונפלאה הרי זה לא יעיד בה וכן לא יהיה דיין בדבר.

But worry not. They just need to do siluk to lose even this small portion in the land, and then they can bloviate freely (see Choshen Mishpat 37:12)!

If you think I’m giving bad counsel, and ‘Placing a stumbling block before the blind’… You may be on to something!

But see Tosafos Bava Basra 44b:

דלא הוה ליה ארעא מעולם. מכאן תשובה לאומרים דמה שנהגו לכתוב בהרשאות ונתתי לו ארבע אמות בחצרי אע”ג דלית ליה קרקע משום דאין לך אדם שאין לו ארבע אמות בארץ ישראל דקרקע אינה נגזלת אי נמי דאין לך אדם שאין לו ד’ אמות לקברו דהכא משמע דאפשר שאין לו קרקע וכן משמע בפ’ שלישי דקדושין (דף ס: ע”ש) הרי את מקודשת לי על מנת שיש לי קרקע משמע דאפשר שאין לו ודוחק להעמיד בגר שאין לו חלק בארץ ועוד דא”כ לא יעשה אדם שני שטרי הקנאה שהראשון קנה ארבע אמותיו ונראה לר”ת דהיינו טעמא כיון שמודה שיש לו קרקע וחוב הוא לו שהרי על ידי קרקע מקנה לחבירו אפילו יש כמה עדים שמכחישים אותו הרי הודאת בעל דין כמאה עדים ולא חיישינן למיחזי כשיקרא כדאשכחנא (לקמן דף קמט.) גבי איסור גיורא דנפק אודיתא מבי איסור ואף על גב שהיה איסור משקר הקשה מהר”ר חזקיהו דמכל מקום ניחוש הכא דלמא אקני ליה מטלטלין אגב קרקע והודה שיש לו מקרקע אע”פ שלא היה לו מעולם ונראה דכולי האי לא חיישינן שמא שיקרו להודות ונראה לו דבזמן הזה שרגילים לכתוב והקניתי לו ארבע אמות בחצירי א”כ מילתא דשכיחא היא וא”כ מכר לו פרה וטלית אין מעיד לו עליה אע”ג דאיכא עדים דלא היה ליה ארעא מעולם.

Remember ‘Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread’?

Ugly Covid Lies

After two years of unprecedented government tyranny in the name of fighting a virus, the prime instigators of this infamy are walking free, writing books, and openly pretending they never said the things they clearly said over and over.

Take Trump’s White House Covid response coordinator Deborah Birx, for example. She was, as the Brownstone Institute’s Jeffrey Tucker points out in a recent article, the principal architect of the disastrous “lockdown” policy that destroyed more lives than Covid itself. Birx knew that locking a country down in response to a virus was a radical move that would never be endorsed. So, as she admits in her new book, she lied about it.

She sold the White House on the out-of-thin-air “fifteen days to slow the spread” all the while knowing there was no evidence it would do any such thing. As she wrote in her new book, Silent Invasion, “I didn’t have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them.”

She was playing for time with no evidence. As it turns out, she was also destroying the lives of millions of Americans. The hysteria she created led to countless businesses destroyed, countless suicides, major depressions, drug and alcohol addictions. It led to countless deaths due to delays in treatment for other diseases. It may turn out to be the most deadly mistake in medical history.

As she revealed in her book, she actually wanted to isolate every single person in the United States! Writing about how many people would be allowed to gather, she said: “If I pushed for zero (which was actually what I wanted and what was required), this would have been interpreted as a ‘lockdown’—the perception we were all working so hard to avoid.”

She wanted to prevent even two people from meeting. How is it possible that someone like this came to gain so much power over our lives? One virus and we suddenly become Communist China?

Last week in a Fox News interview she again revealed the extent of her treachery. After months of relentlessly demanding that all Americans get the Covid shots, she revealed that the “vaccines” were not vaccines at all!

“I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection,” she told Fox. “And I think we overplayed the vaccines. And it made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization.”

So when did she know this? Did she know it when she told ABC in late 2020 that “this is one of the most highly-effective vaccines we have in our infectious disease arsenal. And so that’s why I’m very enthusiastic about the vaccine”?

If she knew all along that the “vaccines” were not vaccines, why didn’t she tell us? Because, as she admits in her book, she believes it’s just fine to lie to people in order to get them to do what she wants.

She admits that she employed “subterfuge” against her boss – President Donald Trump – to implement Covid policies he opposed. So it should be no surprise that she lied to the American people about the efficacy of the Covid shots.

The big question now, after what appears to be a tsunami of vaccine-related injuries, is will anyone be forced to pay for the lies and subterfuge? Will anyone be held to account for the lives lost for the arrogance of the Birxes and Faucis of the world?
