Straight talk from Munich: >> A Muslim—of all people—the Emirati political writer and journalist Amjad Taha (see photo), issues an urgent warning to the West. Excerpts from an open letter to the public:

„Stop confusing cowardice with tolerance. What you call illegal immigration is a premeditated invasion of your country—without tanks or soldiers.

There are countries that have recently poured billions of pounds into Muslim Brotherhood terrorists who have become activists and citizens in your nations. Their mission is to defend every criminal, to act as counsel for every rapist, and to ensure that those residing in the country illegally gain legal status—eventually becoming governors, members of parliament, or even prime ministers. This is a long-term plan.

They use democracy like an Uber to take them to power, only to complain about the destination once they arrive.

Look around you. They are now protesting against you and your Western civilization. They label you ‚Islamophobic‘ if you dare to mention Muslim Brotherhood terrorists—such as Hamas terrorists or the Muslim Brotherhood-led army in Sudan, which is alleged to have claimed the lives of over 2 million Christians and 500,000 African Muslim women and children.

They will control your democracy through dictatorial rules.

They have discovered your greatest weakness: your tolerance can be weaponized against you.

They exploit your freedom of speech to defend Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.

They use your courts to shield Hamas and Iranian networks.

They wield accusations of ‚Islamophobia‘ to intimidate critics.

They use democracy as a ladder to power, then attack the very values ​​that made that ladder possible in the first place.

Yesterday, the Muslim Brotherhood ideology demanded a platform. Today, it demands political influence.“ Tomorrow, it will demand your silence.

Stop confusing cowardice with tolerance.

Investigate the Muslim Brotherhood. Ban terrorist organizations. Prosecute the financing of crime and terrorism. Deport non-citizens who can be legally expelled due to serious crimes or terrorism, and never allow extremists to use citizenship as a weapon against the country that took them in.

Your children should not inherit a country that is too afraid to defend its own laws, freedoms, and civilization.

Democracy is not a suicide pact. Tolerance does not mean capitulation. Freedom does not mean handing extremists the means to destroy freedom.

Wake up. Defend your country. Defend your children. Defend your civilization before those who despise it become powerful enough to determine its future…

May God bless your beautiful civilization and protect it from extremism, terrorism, and backwardness.

Today, at the start of a new day, I engage with the words of our Torah. It is the Parashah Ki Tavo that will be read publicly for everyone this coming Shabbat…

Ki Tavo translates roughly to „When you come,“ and it begins with sentences that speak to me personally and touch me deeply…

It is the opening sentence of the Mishneh Torah (Deuteronomy/Devarim):

„And it shall come to pass, when you come into the land that the Eternal your God gives you as a possession, and you take possession of it and dwell therein…“

It is important to understand that this refers not merely to a state of consciousness, but also to the actual Land of Israel.
It is also crucial to grasp and recognize that it is the Eternal Himself who gives this land and entrusts it to us as a possession. God is the Owner, and we are His stewards. He entrusts the land to us, and we are called upon and obligated to treat it accordingly and to shape our own conduct so that we prove worthy of it.

I ask myself: what does it mean, „and you dwell therein“?!!

Our consciousness must find rest and establish a state of harmony with the Creator—much like settling into a home where one feels at ease, making it the center and starting point for all of a Jew’s activities.
We must acknowledge that the Book of Deuteronomy (Sefer Devarim) is a retrospective account. This means that these words—promising the land—were first addressed to the Jewish people a very, very long time ago. Right there in Chapter 26, verse 2, there is mention of the first fruits of the soil that each individual (note the use of the singular „you“) brings in from „your land.“

The land as a state of consciousness given by the Eternal. The land as a state of consciousness that is brought forth.

I do not wish to expose myself further by discussing the subsequent words in a public forum; yet it is significant that we are instructed to speak to the priest: „Today I declare to the Eternal, your…“ „…to the land that the Eternal swore to our fathers He would give us.“

It is important to understand that this refers to „our fathers“—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—and, at the same time, to all the generations of Jews who came before us, whose legacy we uphold and to whom we are accountable.

God gives the land to US—not to individuals, groups, or privileged elites.

Shavua Tov!

Hendryk M. Broder puts it in a nutshell:

„The artificial distinction between Islam and Islamism is like distinguishing between alcohol and alcoholism.“

Note:

21st-century Islam is violent, intolerant, and destructive. We cannot ‚wait‘ for it to reform itself slightly over the coming centuries.

Therefore, here and now, we must identify and push back against its actors, those responsible, and its supporters, and subject them to the rule of law of civil society; Huntington was right—we are witnessing a clash of civilizations, only it is even worse:

Islam is expansionist, and as soon as it is able to establish parallel Sharia-based values ​​within immigrant-receiving societies, it will do so. The values ​​that make this possible will then be gradually replaced and abolished.

Tyranny does not begin with a Muslim state, but with the naivety and defenselessness of societies that fail to recognize this and remain idle. The reasons for this are manifold. Manipulation and instrumentalization take place; institutions are infiltrated; and alliances are formed with parties that likewise aim for the disintegration and decline of the social order.

This also explains the Islamist-Leftist alliances in the USA, Germany, England, Scotland, and elsewhere.

The growing support for far-right parties is therefore not the problem, but rather a symptom of the transformation that is already well underway.

If centrist, mainstream parties—wherever they may be—fail to consistently address this complex situation using all legal means available, and fail to articulate and communicate this transparently (often due to short-term considerations), radicalization within the public mindset and society will accelerate rapidly, further fueling the divisive processes that lead to their own decline.

Ich sende nachträglich meine besten Wünsche für eine herrausragende Persönlichkeit, wie Hendryk M. Broder. Mazal Tov nachträglich zum 80. Geburtstag. Ein Mann, der über seine eigene Jüdischkeit und Innenleben nie viel erzählt und darüber hinauswächst, um es möglich zu machen, Klartext zu reden und der bundesdeutschen Gesellschaft den Spiegel vorzuhalten – dabei nie vergisst, wer die Feinde von Demokratie und Freiheit sind. Er vergisst dabei nicht uns Juden zu adressieren und motiviert uns mutiger zu sein und wehrhaft unseren gesellschaftlichen Beitrag auch weiterhin nach Außen zu tragen. Es gibt nichts schlimmeres als ein passiver Jude, der verängstigt sich auf „das Religiöse“ beschränkt.

Alles Gute!!!

In these times of uncertainty for Israel: Will Eisenkot sacrifice national unity on the altar of an Arab state for the so-called Palestinians?!! Will Eisenkot completely devalue all the sacrifices made thus far for national unity?!! And will Eisenkot plunge Israel into its greatest crisis by disregarding the will of Hashem?!! This must be clarified before the election, for the voter’s responsibility has never been greater than it is now—and a military prime minister alone will not save Israel!

Decoding the news: „Ben Gvir strips the Waqf foundation of authority over the Cave of the Patriarchs“

We need to distinguish between two things currently circulating simultaneously:

1. What actually happened at the Cave of the Patriarchs?

According to reports from about two months ago, it was not Ben Gvir personally who revoked the Waqf foundation’s authority, but the Israeli government under Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

• Announcement: Israel has stripped the Palestinian Authority of its powers regarding planning and construction at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
• Legal basis: This revokes an agreement from the 1990s. Under the 1997 Hebron Protocol, the Palestinians held control over planning and construction in the city, including the site of the Cave.
• Smotrich’s stated goal: to strengthen Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank. He called it a „historic step.“

Reactions:

• The Palestinian Authority condemns an „attack on the political and legal status of Hebron“ and a violation of international law.
• The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union condemned a „project to Judaize“ the shrine and the transfer of administration from the Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs to Israel.

The idea of ​​“returning control to Jewish hands“ stems from this resumption of administrative authority at the site, as well as from the political rhetoric of far-right ministers linking the move to sovereignty. 🇮🇱

2. Analysis: Why is this site of central importance?

The Cave of the Patriarchs = Me’arat HaMachpelah for Jews, Ibrahimi Mosque for Muslims; located in Hebron.

Today, the building is divided: three-fifths serve as a synagogue in the northwest, and two-fifths as a mosque in the southeast. Consequently, the planned transfer by 2025 is perceived by Israel as a further step toward direct Israeli civil control, and by the Palestinians as de facto annexation.

Israel’s right to control the West Bank—captured in 1967—is not internationally recognized.

3. Abraham’s purchase of the tomb according to the Torah

The relevant account is found in Genesis 23.

Summary:

1. Context: Sarah dies in Hebron/Kiryat Arba.
2. Purchase: Abraham negotiates with Ephron the Hittite. He wishes to buy the Cave of Machpelah to bury Sarah there.
3. Price: 400 shekels of silver. Ephron offers to give the tomb away for free, but Abraham insists on paying the full price. The biblical text presents this as a legitimate purchase made in the presence of witnesses „before the sons of Heth.“
4. Significance: This is Abraham’s first purchase of land in the Land of Canaan. In Jewish tradition, it establishes a legal and ancestral connection to the land.

Following Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah are buried there—hence the name „Tomb of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs.“

In Muslim tradition, it is also the burial site of Ibrahim, Sarah, Ishaq, Yaqub, etc.—hence the name Ibrahimi Mosque.

---

In summary:

• There was no decree titled „Ben Gvir strips the Waqf foundation of authority.“ The measure from June 2025 concerns the transfer of planning authority for the site in Hebron from the Palestinian Authority to Israel—a move advocated by Smotrich.

Politically, the current government presents this as an affirmation of sovereignty over a site regarded as a biblical cradle. It is condemned internationally and within the Palestinian community as a process of Judaization and a violation of agreements.

The site is claimed by both religious traditions, based on the story of Abraham purchasing the cave from Ephron for Sarah.

Muslims are viewed as usurpers of this Jewish site.

I have been reflecting on the reasons behind Islamic Antisemitism.

On the surface, it manifests as violence directed against anything that refuses to submit to the yoke of Islam.

At an internal level, it stems from the humiliation of unfulfilled delusions of grandeur—frustrations that prevent the release of testosterone-driven urges. There is no other way to explain the specific, systematic rape of women belonging to other religions.

Moreover, Islam explicitly commands and encourages the use of sexuality as a weapon of subjugation and destruction.
