1. US Does What Is Right
From: Doc3@aol.com
Subject: Re: "Brit-Am Now"-226
Reference question 3
What does the US get for support of Israel?
Does it matter if we get anything or not? Sometimes right is just right.
Europeans don't understand that principle lately.
2. Enemies of Brit-Am are the enemies of the USA and of Israel
From the Archives: <<Three days later, on Sabbath, Jan. 19 (4 Shevat
5750) [1991], the Lubavitcher Rebbe devoted a large part of his public
address to the war against Saddam Hussein. The Rebbe viewed Saddam - a
person who chopped off the ears and noses of dissidents, tortured children
in front of their parents, gassed thousands to death and craved the death
of Israel - as a truly evil person.>>
Saddam is evil. Saddam is the enemy of the USA and of Israel. It is
interesting to note that certain individuals who in the past have attacked
Brit-Am are now attacking the USA for defending the peoples of Israel
(including themselves and others) by invading Iraq
3. Jeremy in Canada: Right on Betty
Subject: Right on Betty
Give'm hell Betty. Her article is so right. In Canada over and over again I
listen to the muslim leaders complain and complain about the Wests
treatment of arabs and our meddling ways in their countries. Yet not once
do I hear them take responsibility for their own actions. Every problem is
because of ether Israel or America. I am so sick of hearing their insults
yet the arabs in North America can enjoy all the freedoms that we have
created. What hypocrites. I pray that this war becomes something much
bigger and these arab nations which I agree with Betty can't be from
Abraham reap the wind of the scorched earth.
There is such a thing as a just war and now is the time for such an event.
It was predicted that Israel will be Gods tool of punishment in end day's
we could only be so lucky if these predictions are now coming true. The
time for Israel's redemption is drawing near and the evil nations of the
world will fear us because Hashem is with us.
4. Bill Rasmussen: Betty told it like it is
Subject: Re: Jerusalem News-200
Shalom Yair: G-d bless you and G-d bless Betty Matteson Rhodes! Betty
really told it like it is regarding the Arabs and their culture. Her
comments echo mine and those of countless others. Our own frustration with
their devilish support of Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat, Osama Bin Laden ad
nauseum is creating great unity among the Israelites and is perhaps a
preparation for fighting future wars against them.
Betty is so right on about the "Useful Idiots" or should I say, "Useless
Idiots" of the antiwar movement. The radical Muslims I expect to hate the
U.S. and Israel. That is a given. We are the only barrier in the world to
their conquest of the world under "Dar Al Islam". But to see Americans in
government, entertainment, and education hate America so much and delight
in our downfall is just plain enraging.
In any event, what we allowed to happen during the Viet Nam war when the
protesters took over the course of the war, this time I believe, there is
enough support in opposition to the antiwar/anti-America stance. Thank you
for posting Betty's comments. She speaks for multitudes of us. -Bill
Rasmussen

Dear Yair,
What an excellent article by Betty Rhodes; it is exactly what I personally
believe.

6. Dolmens
The site below has many links to pictures of dolmens, etc. After that is a
shortened commentary on their significance according to Jeremiah 31:21. For
a more complete explanation see the relevant chapter in Ephraim. See also
our commentary on Jeremiah.
... The Stone Pages
website has photos of a pile of stone circles, dolmens, megaliths,
etc. from all over Europe:
http://www.stonepages.com/
[Jeremiah 31:20] IS EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON? IS HE A PLEASANT CHILD? FOR SINCE
I SPAKE AGAINST HIM, I DO EARNESTLY REMEMBER HIM STILL: THEREFORE MY BOWELS
ARE TROUBLED FOR HIM; I WILL SURELY HAVE MERCY UPON HIM, SAITH THE
LORD.
<EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: [the word Ephraim
means] someone who grew up in a palace [i.e. a noble]. Rabbi Yehoshua ben
Nachman said: [the word Ephraim means] a master and governor. Said Rabbi
Pinchas, our forefather Jacob when he passed away coronated Ephraim with a
crown and made him the head of the tribes, the chief of the assembly, the
most handsome and exalted of my descendants will be called by his name.>>
(YaYikra Rabah 2;3). W
This Midrash refers to the fact that the very name Ephraim connotes
nobility (as explained at length in our work Ephraim) whereas Menasseh
connotes representative Accountable Democracy. Ephraim dominates Britain
and Menasseh is prevalent in the USA. Ephraim (nobility, the aristocratic
principle of government) still prevails in Britain whereas the democratic
Principle is paramount in the USA.
The following verse (31;21) in Jeremiah refers to dolmens
which are large stones set table fashion over others and often covered by
large piles of rocks and stone. The dolmens and other related stone
monuments form a connecting link between Israel, Britain, West France, and
Scandinavia. More dolmens (over 5000!) have been found in Denmark than in
any other country. On the other hand the oldest dolmens are believed to be
those of Israel. More than 20,000 megalithic monuments of all types
(including dolmens) have been found in the Land of Israel especially on the
eastern "Jordanian" side since for various reasons those on the west were
destroyed by local inhabitants. The verse in effects links dolmens with
Ephraim.
[Jeremiah 31:21] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS, MAKE THEE HIGH HEAPS: SET THINE
HEART TOWARD THE HIGHWAY, EVEN THE WAY WHICH THOU WENTEST: TURN AGAIN, O
VIRGIN OF ISRAEL, TURN AGAIN TO THESE THY CITIES.
Abarbanel: <<The prophet therefore spoke concerning the Kingdom of Israel
[of the Ten Tribes] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS saying that when you g into Exile
make signs by the routes and waymarks like piles of rocks [i.e. cairns] or
stone monuments [Hebrew: Matzavah, i.e. dolmen] so that you may set your
heart to the route and remember in order that you may return in the way you
went in, return to your city.>>
The most literal explanation of this verse amongst the
Classical Authoritative Rabbinical Commentators is that given by the
"Radak" (Rabbi David Kimchi, 1157-1236) of Narbonne, France. The Radak says:
"SET YOURSELF UP WAYMARKS" (Jeremiah 31): This was directed to
the Community of Israel, that in the generation when they would be exiled
they should set up waymarks [i.e. "tsionim"] such as PILED-UP STONES OR
STONE MONUMENTS. The purpose of these monuments was to mark the paths [of
migration for the sake of future recognition]. The meaning was to say that
even though you will be exiled, hope is not lost and you are still destined
to return to these your cities. "MAKE YOURSELF HIGH HEAPS" [Hebrew:
"tamrurim"]. The same message is repeated though the wording is changed
since both "tamrurim" [i.e. "high heaps"] and "tsionim" (i.e. "waymarks")
connote elevated-height [from the root "tamar"]...
Bearing in mind that according to the previous verse (31;20)
Jeremiah is addressing himself to Ephraim, the verse in Jeremiah 31;21 may
therefore be understood to say:
"Set yourself up stone monuments [menhirs, dolmens] and high
heaps of stones [cairns] [i.e. Megalithicmonuments!]. Set your heart
towards the prepared way: The way in which you went. Turn back o virgin of
Israel, return unto these cities of yours.
[Jeremiah 31:22] HOW LONG WILT THOU GO ABOUT, O THOU BACKSLIDING DAUGHTER?
FOR THE LORD HATH CREATED A NEW THING IN THE EARTH, A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A
MAN.
Abarbanel on this verse says it refers to the Ten Tribes who at first would
be weak like a woman but later would gain strength like a man and overcome
the Gentiles.
Radak: <<A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN: It is the way of the world that a man
goes after and hangs around a woman, as the sages said: Someone who has
lost something seeks after what he is lacking. Here the female goes after
and around the man, that is the Children of Israel will repent and return
to their God who will redeem them>>.
The expression A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS A MAN is considered an allegory to the
Children of Israel attempting to return to God, as if Israel is symbolized
by a female wooing her man who is the God of Israel.
