1)
I consider the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, at least partially responsible for taking positions that pandered to the antisemites and Muslim extremists.
And now, people are dead, many critically injured.
2)
Clearly an anti-Jewish attack
By Arab-Muslims, one named Naveed Akhram
Who also placed several IED. (Explosive bombs that fortunately did not explode before being found)
Why terrorism in peaceful Australia that based guns and made use of guns severely punished?
3)
Easy answer. A Government, under Anthony Albanese, which put emphasis on getting Muslim votes, and that rushed to condemn Israel for defending itself and recognized a fictional Palestine State, and failed to respond to the warnings of its own security people."

NO CULTURE IN THE WORLD IS MORE ABOUT COMPASSION THAN IS JEWISH CULTURE AND THE TORAH ON WHICH IT IS BASED.
1)
3360 years ago, Moses taught several concepts that most of the world has not yet implemented. That all people are created equal and should be treated as such by a just law system, that everyone is to be considered innocent until proven guilty, and
2)
that guilt must be proven by fact, not circumstantial evidence, that women should have a voice and be able to own property on their own, that there is a responsibility, a personal responsibility, not to be delegated elsewhere, to care for those who cannot care for themselves,

"THIS IS A REQUEST — NO. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE A DEMAND
THAT REPRESENTS A SILENT MAJORITY OF AMERICANS

1)
That means ending all economic connections, leaving the military base in Qatari territory and moving all US interests elsewhere.
2)
Qatar is the center, the facilitator, the initiator sometimes and the middleman sometimes, for the Muslim Brotherhood, for support to terrorism worldwide, from Hamas and Hezbollah to radicals in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.

I was thinking about this, not because some great Rabbi recently made any comment, nor because of the debate in Israel about what Shabbat should be.
1)
It might seem strange that I was thinking about it because of what the widow of Charlie Kirk said and because of what Charlie Kirk wrote in a book to be published this month.
2)
You see, Charlie, according to his own words and his widow’s, every Friday night would put the telephones in a drawer, say prayers, and make the next 25 hours a time for family, thinking, rest, an escape from the world of obligations.

In a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision written by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Court has ruled that federal courts cannot review certain visa revocations in cases involving sham‑marriage findings... 1) supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/…
because those decisions are committed to the discretion of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In the case Bouarfa v. Mayorkas, 604 U.S. ___ (2024) the issue was whether federal courts have jurisdiction to review the revocation of an approved immigrant visa petition...

when the government later determines the underlying marriage was a sham.
The Supreme Court held that revocations of visa petitions under 8 U.S.C. § 1155 — including where the agency later determines the marriage was for the purpose of evading immigration laws —

The traditional translation - Praised are you, Lord our G-d, Ruler of the universe, who performed amazing deeds for our ancestors at this season.
2)
This implies that it was done for our ancestors and we are just celebrating that. But that is wrong.
Because a better translation is with emphasis on great miracles for our ancestors in their days, and in these times. Think about that, not only miracles 2200 years ago,

ABOUT 2240 YEARS AGO, the Seleucid Empire was going through administrative problems with the control of the Empire, which imposed Hellenistic culture on a culturally diverse population from Persia to the Mediterranean, and 1)
like many despotic rulers, decided to solve the problem of dissension and division in the Empire, demanding uniformity - something that we can do, repeat in every era around the world - of culture and religious practices.

You see, despots need money and nothing brings money like control and uniformity of belief.
In Eretz Yisrael, orders to conform met resistance, and when the Beit Hamiqdash in Jerusalem was desecrated by the order of the Empire,
