One thought on “22 of 45 Meron victims laid to rest before Shabbat; PM vows full inquiry”
  1. While we should all Ponder slowly without haste
    the tragedy &
    on top of what was going on for the last year, We must throw this into the mix and would be derelict if we did not

    And that is the past weeksפרשיות השבוע

    ו לא תקיא אתכם את הארץ
    “The Earth will not spit vomit you out”

    Let Us go back less than two years ago

    Between the first and second Israeli election smotrich wanted to be Justice Minister. He made a comment that ideally
    the state should
    be a state based on Halacha

    Immediately leiberman & co
    jumped all over him and how the whole traditional right are bunch of religious legalistic Fanatics

    Bibi to prove them
    wrong went to the Other Extreme and took a deviant pervert as of Justice Minister.
    Minister Ohana the first-ever Pervert deviant LGBT minister since
    the beginning of the state
    Was there any protests from the haredi and religious parties?

    Fast forward to a few weeks ago

    During this current negotiations for government
    aguda and Shas their biggest issue was more than anything else opening up Meron

    Lag
    B’omer was more than anything else

    So who did they meet with cute photo ops and smiling together publicly? Pervert Ohana

    Celebrating for the _one_ who never had a _rainbow_ in his life with a ️‍
    together

    In addition, the Torah puts
    perversed immorality reeking with flattery embedded for
    the land cannot tolerate

    ולא תחניפו את הארץ
