Daughter of Zion…

The world was shocked and repulsed by the brutal terrorist slaying
of five members of the Udi Fogel family as they slept in their beds
this month. The terrorists broke into the Fogel home, and slit the
throats of Udi, the father, and baby Hadas, and stabbed 4- year old
Elad in the heart. They then killed Yoav,an eleven year old boy, as
he read in bed, and overpowered Ruth, the mother of the family as she
emerged from the bathroom.
Did I mention that the world was repulsed by this act of wanton
barbarity ? I meant to say the civilized world, for in the Gaza strip
the murders were celebrated with street prayers to Allah, dancing and
passing out sweets.
The family is survived by a remarkable 12-year-old girl named
Tamara, and siblings Roie, an eight year old, and Shai a 2-year old.
Tamara discovered the murders when she arrived home at night from a
sabbath party to discover the scene of horror in her own home.
She has since spoken out, to the nation of Israel, and to the
Prime minister, with remarkable poise and strength in the light of
the shocking nightmare , first by insisting that she herself would
“mother” her two surviving younger siblings, and second with an
otherworldly call for Israel to “rouse herself and clothe herself
with splendor”, as in the words of the prophet Isaiah.
Tamar
Fogel Speaks Out
I don’t know about you but I got the goosebumps listening to
this remarkable young lady, who is a true daughter of Zion if I ever
saw one.
So much that is wrong in our own nation’s treatment of Israel is
embodied in the story of the Fogel family. It turns out that they
were among the inhabitants of the Gush Katif communities of the Gaza
strip, who were forcibly evicted by the Sharon Government, pressured
by the Bush Administration, to make room in the Gaza for a
Palestinian State.
She recounts in the interview above, that though the family didn’t
violently resist expulsion, that her mother wanted to make a banner
for all to read that said,”Shake off the dust, Arise! Put on your
splendid clothes my nation!”.Tamar was seven years old at the time.
The Jewish families evicted out of their own homes in the Land God
gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, left 4000 greenhouse businesses to
the incoming Palestinians, as a gesture of goodwill, but within days
of the Government ordered pullout, the greenhouses were smashed to
pieces by the new Gazans.
The Fogel family had lived in Judea/Samaria, (the West Bank) for
about a year and a half before the massacre took place. The Obama
administration has delegitimized the settlers of Judea and Samaria
from the start. His notorious Cairo speech called for a “No natural
growth policy” for Jews in the heart of Biblical Israel, and is
vigorously condemning any new settlements or housing for Jews even in
east Jerusalem.
You could say that the two seminal events in Tamara’s young life
have occurred because of the treachery of the US Government, as well
as the Israeli Government’s compliance, and in direct defiance of
the Word of God. The eviction from Gaza, and the denunciation of
Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria. The one caused her to lose her
home and the other led to the murder of her family.
Yet look at the poise, the dignity and the confidence of this
young Ruth, or Deborah. “Israel will not break, we are not afraid,
we will rise up, and flourish, we will continue to flourish, and we
will continue to grow… to build the land.” Consider what this
young woman has been through in the light of what she is saying.
The message that came out at the funeral and that is echoed in
Tamara’s testimony, and in articles in the Jerusalem Post and other
Jewish press is “Wake up! Arise from the Dust!” wake up to your
high calling Israel!
But perhaps Wisdom is crying out in the streets to a wider
audience yet. Although CNN ,ABC, and even Fox news will not give the
Fogel story the coverage that they gave to the fake Koran flushing
story a few years back, there is a message in it for those who have
ears to hear.
“Wake up” America, to the pathological evil of the so-called
“religion of peace”. Look at what Tamara’s original home town
of Gaza did when they heard of the slaughters. Grown men and women,
mothers and Fathers, wildly celebrating the brutal murder of infants,
toddlers, a sleeping father, a mother!
“Rise up out of the dust of multiculturalism”, and paralyzing
political correctness, realize what we have done to our only friend
in the region, betraying Israel, forcing her to make concessions to
savages. Repent America, for “I will bless those who bless
you(Israel) and I will curse those who curse you!”.
The Eulogy at the funeral mentioned the theme also, to “Shake
off the dust, Arise, put on your splendid clothes my nation,Shake it
off already arise! Put on your splendid clothes! Have we asked of you
too much ? That David Ben Yishai should come? Is that unclear? its
not too complicated!” Do you hear the urgency in this lament?
David Ben Yishai, is the Messiah, the Jews are crying out for the
Messiah to come. Let us pray for Israel!
Finally this remarkable young lady, when told by Netanyahu that
Israel would build, replied, “but you will vacate!”. I think I
hear wisdom crying out in the streets in this young lady…
All she has known in her young life, is capitulation to
terrorists, to evil, and the evacuation of God-given position. How
long will we all vacate to evil? How Long must we make room for
terrorists, false religion, homosexuals,atheists, and accommodate
every perversion, while we force the decent, productive and upright
to vacate? How Long?
