Portion VaYeytzey: was Jacob a refugee:

Portion VaYeytzey: was Jacob a refugee:
Read Zohar - and the Laban War
 
 
Do you remember any wars?
 
Most Israelis have lived through a few.
 
My father in law - of blessed memory - today is his first Yahrzeit - fought in a few
 
But his attitude was always POSITIVE
 
And he ALWAYS acted POSITIVELY
 
But No , most Palestinians dont remember the 6 Day War (1967, 54 years ago)- 
Or starving under Jordanian conquest...
They 
certainly do not the Israeli Independance war of 1948 and capture by Jordan
 
So the Torah says 
 
Laban and His Gang chased after Jacob and family who 
Were just going home to
The Other Grandparents
 
Why His Gang? The Zohar explains,
To Make War with Israel/Jacob
 
Would the UN have given Jacob
Refugee assistance like 
It does to Arabs who claim to be refugees?
 
Or to my father in law and
800000 other Jews
Who fled from Arab lands in 1948?
 
Now, it is  80 years later ,
And this week the US decided to keep paying UNRWA to make believe that
 3rd generation Arabs in Israel are refugees
 
Why?
 It is not just stupid and stealing from   taxpayers
 
But also promoting terrorism and
Sadly
Making War instead of HEALING RIFTS
 
Israelites like Jacob later -were fleeing drought to Egypt - and then enslaved there
 
Would the US have given  aid to Israelites? Actually we were enslaved for 210 years
 
But we came out with G-ds help,
And brought others with us - the eruv rav
 
And today
No other people solvd the "covid mysteries" like israeli researchers - 
FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
and 
The POSITIVE THINKERS at Pfizer
 
To heal the world
 
We need an Anti Hatred Vaccine today
 
Shabbat Shalom
