An Open Letter to Ms. Candace Owens
Israel National News ^ | Nov 21, 2023 | Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer

Posted on 11/21/2023 5:59:46 PM PST by af_vet_1981

Dear Ms. Owens, I have never met you but have appreciated you from your emergence in the public eye, as during that early Congressional hearing and your early debates on Fox with Cornell West. You became a superstar as your career was boosted by the likes of David Horowitz’s Freedom Center, Dennis Prager’s “Prager U.,” and Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire. I would write you privately if I knew how to reach you, but I don’t. Therefore, because I am blessed to write for Israel National News and other publications, I hope this letter reaches you.
br> I speak with some authority. I am an Orthodox rabbi of 41 years, a recent lung-transplant survivor at age 70, and national vice president of Coalition for Jewish Values, which represents 2,500 traditional rabbis. I also am a law professor of 20 years. Much of my last decade’s work and opinion can be found here. (And, yes, I long have supported your friend, Tucker Carlson.) But this is not about me. It is about my reaching out to you.


...


You also posted “Christ is King.” I love when Christians proclaim deep religious conviction. It means that, like Orthodox Jews, you love and care about protecting the lives of the unborn. You oppose assisted suicide. You detest efforts by teachers’ unions, woke school boards, and progressive “teachers” to groom children with garbage about “transgenderism,” lesbianism, and homosexuality.

You might also note that after the Romans crucified Jesus, the Temple was destroyed. A coincidence, who knows?

No coincidence; planned that way with deliberate foreknowledge, as is the restoration of Israel.

Acts 1:
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? [7] And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

I have FAITH, I believe in Jesus. The Church is the New Israel.

Half truth. God never made a Covenant with the Church, only with Faithful Judah/Israel, and those Gentiles grafted in. Gentiles are grafted in to to Church, the faithful of God, Jew and Gentile, built on the Jewish Faith in their Messiah, Jesus Christ. Like Jesus said, “Salvation is from the Jews.” Romans 11 says the blindness of the Jews has happened until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in, then all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. To deny God’s future salvation of unbelieving Israel is to deny God’s Word…

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I would simply point to history, and what happens to countries in the west that stop supporting Israel. Germany, being the number one point of reference..

I’ve been clear that I don’t support the US sending money to Israel. Number one they don’t need it. Number two we don’t have the money.

But, is this the restoration or has it been the restoration of Israel? Truthfully, we really don't know.

Every time, throughout Israel's history, after a short period of time, those people have been conquered and scattered throughout the world.

Why?

Because they, except for a few individuals, disobeyed God's Commandants and laws that were given to Moses.

Moses exhorted them to follow those commandments and laws before they crossed the Jordan.

Joshua, at his point of death, also exhorted them to follow those commandments and laws, as did all of the prophets after him.

They didn't! They began to worship the gods of the nations they defeated, they built alter on high places, built prayer poles to those gods and even burned their children alive at the alter of Molech.

“In other news, a leaked document from the NSA details how its employees are trained to see ‘gentiles’ and ‘Christians’ as privileged groups in American society. When asked about the revelation, an ADL spokesman reiterated the claim but urged caution because “people might start to think that the NSA is run by jews.”

Jeremiah 30:
[16] Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. [17] For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. [18] Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. [19] And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. [20] Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. [21] And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD. [22] And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. [23] Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. [24] The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

Nice ability to cherry pick what you want to say. But, the Bible had far more information in it than just that. And, one has to take into consideration the time and events that have occurred.

I’m persuaded the adversary and those deceived by him will never stop hating the Jews and trying to disinherit them until the Glorious Messiah comes and destroys the enemies with the sword of His mouth.

Jeremiah 23:
[5] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. [6] In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. [7] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; [8] But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. [9] Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

Did you happen to find out why Jeremiah had to walk through Nineveh and say all of this?

Also, you might research what happened to Annas and Caiaphus after Christ was crucified. Their deaths were not pleasant because they realized that they had murdered the Glorious Messiah.

Did he not destroy those enemies with the sword of his Mouth as well as predict the destruction of the Temple and the dispersion of the Jews by the Romans?

Read your Bible.

It was the Jews who wanted Pilate the set the criminal, Barabbas, free and shouted to crucify Jesus.

Jesus, the Messiah, told all of us what we had to do. Time and again. If we read the words. If we are unable to understand the words, then a dictionary comes in handy.

It seems that you have confused Jeremiah with Jonah. Jeremiah was taken to Egypt.

Also, you might research what happened to Annas and Caiaphus after Christ was crucified. Their deaths were not pleasant because they realized that they had murdered the Glorious Messiah.

Actually, if they realized their sins that would be good news. He will judge everyone by their works. Every soult is being tested.

Did he not destroy those enemies with the sword of his Mouth as well as predict the destruction of the Temple and the dispersion of the Jews by the Romans?

Deuteronomy 30:
[1] And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, [2] And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; [3] That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. [4] If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: [5] And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. [6] And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. [7] And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the
righteous and the wicked.

Here's what the United States gets for the billions in taxpayer aid to Israel. They really like you, or your dollars, but if you are an American hostage, forget about them helping.

But, keep the money coming and keep sending troops, white troops because we need them. Israeli Official Admits Not Even Trying to Get American Hostages Released BEN BARTEE NOV 22, 2023 (Note: In the original version of this article, I stated that Israel jails Palestinian women and children on “no charges,” when, in fact, it jails Palestinian women on intentionally vague charges like “having contacts with hostile organisations” and then holds them and the babies they have while incarcerated indefinitely in pre-trial detention with no due process. I apologize for the error.) The Israeli state and Hamas appear to have reached a tentative hostage exchange deal. Via NBC News: “Israel and Hamas have agreed to a breakthrough deal to release 50 women and children who were kidnapped and held in Gaza, a potential landmark deal that will also involve a four-day pause in fighting, the delivery of hundreds of aid trucks, and the release of 150 Palestinian women and children* held in Israeli jails.” *Note that when Israeli civilians are held in Gaza, they were “kidnapped” and are termed “hostages,” but when Israeli jails Palestinian women and children with no charges or judicial process of any kind, they do not receive the benefit of the same designation in Western corporate state media. That’s how subtle propaganda can get, and it’s easy to miss it if you’re not attuned to the pettiness with which these organizations play semantical games. Curiously, though, Israel is not making any effort to get non-Israeli hostages released — only Israeli. Via NBC News: “Israel will not exchange Palestinian prisoners in exchange for non-Israeli hostages, a senior Israeli official who gave NBC News details on a tentative agreement with Hamas that is awaiting a vote from Israel's government According to the official, Israel is currently only negotiating for its citizens and that other countries will have to negotiate for their own terms with Hamas. Dual nationals, those who hold Israel citizenship along with another country, are included in Israel's deals, the official said.” So, the U.S. government hands Israel no-strings-attached billions of dollars every single year, to the tune of hundreds of billions in the aggregate, in exchange for zero effort to get American hostages freed when they’re captured within the territorial bounds of the Israeli state. When it is finally presented with one opportunity to repay in infinitesimally small part all of that generosity, it offers only its middle finger to its American patrons. Not that anyone who understands the nature of the Israeli state would expect otherwise. Its no-American-hostage-rescue policy is even more understandable in the context of its current geopolitical position. Israel’s strategic play here is obvious to anyone not blinded by its powerful propaganda network that extends, unfortunately, deep into American corporate state media. In the immediate term, the continued captivity of hostages of all nationalities by Hamas serves Israel’s interests more than their release would. It serves as a valuable propaganda tool to gin up anger and provides an ongoing pretext to do whatever Israel likes in Gaza with impunity under the guise of pursuing the release of hostages. All international criticism is deflected with the call on Hamas to “release the hostages.” Were they released, justifying the Israeli government’s activities there (carpet-bombing) would become much more diplomatically tenuous. (Of course, it’s unclear exactly how carpet-bombing Gaza could ever achieve the stated objective of returning the Israeli hostages unless they intend them to come back as corpses with limbs blown apart. Nonetheless, the Israeli propagandists have been beavering away trying to square that circle for many weeks now.) Furthermore, the continued captivity of American hostages, in particular, serves to maintain (nearly unconditional) American government support for its Gaza campaign — a weighty, some might say Herculean, diplomatic feat, given that virtually the entire rest of the world has condemned Israel for what it’s done. And that Herculean effort is costing the U.S. government big time in terms of its global cache. At this moment, the United States is Israel’s only geopolitical ally left that’s fully on board with the program. Another reason Israel would like to draw out the military operation in Gaza as long as possible using whatever pretext it can is that it’s stalling for time to figure out what to do with all of the Gazans it would like to displace. A leaked “concept paper” from the Intelligence Ministry proposed expelling the Gazans into the Sinai Peninsula to live in tent cities, which did not go over well diplomatically, to say the least. More recently, it’s been pressuring America and Western Europe to take the Gazans off of their hands. So it needs some wriggle room to devise alternative solutions. Related: Israeli Parliament Members Demand U.S., Europe Import Gazan Refugees However, at the same time, the state is under immense, unprecedented internal pressure to be seen to be doing something concrete to secure the Israeli hostages aside from posturing in the media. Netanyahu and his allies were already in existential political trouble before October 7th, and the threats to his and his ideologically expansionist base’s grip on power have only multiplied following the government’s clear de-prioritization of hostage release below annihilating Gaza, not to mention the “intelligence failure” of that day itself. It turns out that waging war can be just as difficult politically on the international stage as it can on the domestic front, even in a country as usually united in its militarism as Israel.

Ezekiel 37:
[15] The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
[16] Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
[17] And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
[18] And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
[19] Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
[20] And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
[21] And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
[22] And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
[23] Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
[24] And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
[25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
[26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
[27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[28] And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
