Netanyahu Viewed As Scapegoat For Americans

 Nadene Goldfoot                                            

Whoopie Goldberg on The VIEW this morning woke me up to realizing that it is Netanyahu who is causing her to blame all things bad on him.  He's today's scapegoat.  She said so, can't understand the cause of what is his fault, the War that causes all prices to be hiked.  That's all she seems to be upset about.  

Though I've written about the cause of what's happening these days, it certainly isn't reaching Whoopie.  Does she even try herself to find the answer with a little reading?  Does anybody out there?  I think my answer could  be shown on the typical graph with a few people at either end and the majority in the middle;  relying on what sticks in their mind from all the election propaganda on TV. It's a big brain washing production.   I don't know about the radio.  There is one I know which is pretty direct in facts, and not blaming Netanyahu.

And myself, I do know very well the history involved in Netanyahu's decisions and involvement, which are made with Trump over his head.  Not only does he have the pressure of Trump, but also his party politics, his government.  He's pressured both ways.  And now he has pressure from the people Whoopie stands with---the majority of the population of the USA, I'm afraid who are the accusers, making Netanyhu the scapegoat.  

We've been scapegoats of the world ever since Bible Days when the first real goat was sent out into the field bearing all the sins of the people, and people have picked up this name.  I discovered that Syrians were still blaming Jews for everything;  the weather, whatever caused them problems as late as in the 2000s of today.  So it's not unusual for Whoopie to fall into this pit of blame.  

That doesn't make it okay, however.  People need to start breaking away from leaning on a scapegoat, who are the people that get hurt, in this instance, as usual. 

Since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks in Israel, Jewish communities worldwide have faced a dramatic, historic surge in antisemitism, harassment, and targeted violence, alongside widespread expressions of fear, resilience, and internal community mobilization. has happened to Jews everywhere since October 7, 2023, the day Jews were massacred--who had become the bloody victims of hatred, and people hopped on this train of hatred instead of feeling empathy for the VICTIMS!!!  I will never understand this.

Along with never understanding, I feel a never in accepting a Palestine alongside the 10% of land left for the Jews to live in, either.    At this point, they had tried to take over all of Judea and Samaria, the original homeland of the Jews that is so historically and religiously important to Judaism.  How England could have done such a botched-up job of division, one wonders, but it happened, only to turn around and give away about 80% of it to the Arabs.  That error was fixed in the Norwegian meetings that divided this sacred land into 3 parts;  A, B, and C.  But it looks like holding some of the actors to the law has been neglected.  Arabs have been squatters in C land where they shouldn't, causing rifts and tempers out of control. This is just one of the Middle Eastern problems for Netanyhu.  His political opponents have also brought in accusations of Netanyahu of keeping property he must not;  like cigars-a gift.  All this nonsense has taken him to a very very strict court in Israel, so he has had to spend these past years dealing with this stupid issue along with all the important ones. Though he's given 16 years of his life to Israel as PM here and there, he is still the example of communication with the world for others.  He's given security, and dependability to the people.

Enemies: Distant Cousins To Jews

 Nadene Goldfoot

Science revealed 26 years ago that they discovered the fact that the very causes of Wars that Israel has had to defend itself from has been caused by the very people told about in our Bible !  Today they are the Syrians, Palestinians and Lebanese.  

The reason I give for listing Syrians first is that many Palestinians said they were Syrian Palestinians, coming to Israel from Syria where life for them was too hard.  Palestinians living in Israel had come from Syria, basically, and then many other surrounding countries, too.  Reference, Joan Peters wrote the 1984 book From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine, Late Migration: Peters argued that many Arab residents were not indigenous to the area "from time immemorial," but rather recent economic migrants who arrived in Palestine starting in the late 1800s and early 1900s, often drawn by development from Jewish settlement.

On May 9, 2000, this was revealed in the Science Daily Article:  Jews Are The Genetic Brothers Of Palestinians, Syrians, And Lebanese. The Y chromosome (male)  was studied in 1,371 men from 29 world-wide populations, Jews and non-Jews from the Middle East, North Africa, Sub- Saharan Africa, and Europe.   

It showed we share a common ancestor and are more closely related to one another than to non-Jews from other areas of the world.                                   

Two women living in the same camp; one a slave having given birth before the true wife, and the story is set up with resentment, and jealousy, for this older son of a slave is not getting the respect and love he needs from his father.  We have many fathers facing such a story today, with families from 2 different wives.                       

                        Abram/Abraham and Sarah with Isaac

Found in Book of Genesis (spanning from Genesis 11:27 through Genesis 25:10).

Abram/Abraham: Patriarch of Jews and many Arabian tribes who lived in 1948 BCE, the 2nd millennium, son of Terah, father of Isaac-by Sarah and Ishmael by his concubine Hagar .  He left his birthplace in Ur of the Chaldees and pitched a tent among the Canaanite and Philistine people of Eretz Yisrael;  visited Egypt, returned to live in Hebron.  He fought saving his nephew, Lot from people he tried to  live with-of king of Elam, another king of Shinar, and they had allies, terrible people. 

                  Hagar and Ishmael walking by Abram's tent
  

The First Split (Ishmael vs. Isaac): Abraham had his first son, Ishmael, with Hagar, the slave of his wife. However, God established the covenant through Abraham's second son, Isaac, born to his wife-who was also his niece,  Sarah. Ishmael became the patriarch of the Ishmaelites (associated with Arab nations), while Isaac carried the promise forward.             

                                      Our Deception

Though  this shows deception, it was for a good cause of selecting someone to do the better job of a higher level of leadership, and it happened just like it could today in any family.   

The split of family lines was recorded in the bible several times on different occasions.  One time was   the story of Jacob and Esau (along with their father, Isaac), though it involves two different famous family incidents in the Book of Genesis:

 These twins were not identical ones; but carried different genes causing:  Isaac was their father, son of Abraham. Isaac favored Esau and the mother favored Jacob.  They were showing favoritism which caused the whole problem setting up wars in the future.   Jacob used threatening and then lying to get the outcome he wanted, caused by the urging of his mother!!!.  As a young person, Jacob was a mama's boy, doing the cooking while Esau was doing the hunting which Isaac saw, as the manly one.  This caused a family line separation. 

• The Meal for Esau (Genesis 25): Jacob cooked a red lentil stew. When Esau came in exhausted from the field and begged for food, Jacob made him sell his firstborn birthright in exchange for the meal. (They were fraternal twins)
The Stolen Blessing / Deception (Genesis 27): Later, when their elderly father Isaac was blind and thought he was dying, he asked Esau to hunt game and bring him a meal so he could bless him. Encouraged by their mother, Rebekah, Jacob disguised himself in Esau’s clothes (and goat skins to feel hairy), brought the food to Isaac, and lied, claiming to be Esau in order to steal the primary family blessing.


What amazes me is the information has been here for us to read all along.  The set-up of the story is amazing in explaining these important differences in people divided for so long a period. It's told so honestly, not covering up these mistakes the Israelites (Jews) made with their brothers.   It's so convoluted, proving its true, people then could not make up such stories.  This is what was told to Moses who wrote it all down. (1391-1271 BCE)

The Ashkenazi Road To Yiddish: A Special Way Of Thinking

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                 

In looking through the years of when this special family, Jacob and Leah and Rachel grew into the Jewish people of over 3,000 years of development, I can understand the hows and whys of what appears in today's world.  Israel is at a point of being hated for its elusiveness, of being a family still and yet being one of the strongest, a leader  in intellectual endeavors along with technical ones.  

What is Yiddish and where is it spoken?

In their development, they lived in Germany, and their language of Hebrew was easily invaded with a special line of  German, helping their minds to develop and grow even more dendrites;  making them pretty darn smart.  These are the Ashkenazi line of Jews. That's not to say that the Sephardis weren't this smart--they were and they developed this way, too.  But the German Jews picked up a new language they alone created----Yiddish, with a special way of showing with words a deep understanding of life.  

  I'm sure her sayings came from Yiddish sayings.....she was known for her sayings, they were so wise.  

“Don't be so humble - you are not that great.”
― Golda Meir

Yiddish is the traditional language of Eastern European Jews and is today spoken primarily in Israel, USA, Russia, and a handful of European countries. Yiddish originates from a German dialect mixed with Hebrew words and other languages. It is a wonderfully expressive language. Here are some great Yiddish sayings and expressions.                                                 

Of course, my favorite saying in Yiddish is:  Oy Gevalt!!! Oh my G-d, or Oh my 

"Oy is the Yiddish equivalent of “oh” and gevalt means “violence” or “force.” Thus, oy gevalt (“oh violence”) would be a cry for help in an emergency.

It has further been expanded to be an expression of wonder at anything disastrous. It is perfectly normal to say, “Oy gevalt, my cake flopped again!” even though there is no violence and not much of an emergency."

 Oy vey!  Literal meaning: "Oh, woe!" or "Oh, pain!" (oy means "woe/oh" from Hebrew/German roots; vey means "woe" from Aramaic or Middle High German).How it is used: An emotional shorthand for frustration, sorrow, exhaustion, or anxiety when faced with everyday troubles or bad news. 

Yiddish Words and Sayings On Being a Mensch

Jews use a Yiddish word to express the notion of being a full, honorable human being: Mensch. Here are some classic Yiddish insights into what constitutes menschlichkeit (being a mensch).Be a mensch !  

Az ich vel zayn vi er, ver vet zayn vi ich? If I’m going to be like him, who will be like me?  (being a copycat, a yes man, afraid of your own shadow, )

This saying echoes the words of Rabbi Hillel: “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” (Pirkei Avot 1:14)

Vos m’iz geveynt af der yugent, azoy tut men af der elter. The habits we develop in youth are what we follow in old age. 

Az der man iz tsu gut far der velt, iz er tsu shlecht farn vayb! If a man is too good to the world, he could be too hard on his wife!

This classic Yiddish saying recognizes an elusive truth: it’s easy to be kind to acquaintances and people outside our daily lives. It’s more difficult to maintain kindness and patience for those with whom we have to live, cooperate and compromise.(Doesn't this sound like your mate?  Lots of comedians have had this problem in marriage, great on the stage but not at home)

Az me muz, ken men. If you have to, you can.

On Business

The Torah cautions us to be scrupulously honest and honorable in business, and contains numerous rules and laws ensuring principled behavior. Yiddish reflects this ethic, offering penetrating advice on business matters. (This makes me shudder, reading about many wealthy Jews getting away with rules and becoming wealthier, etc;  It seems like  ignoring the basics of Judaism, forgetting to go to shul (house of worship) (Synagogue) using the gift of a sharp mind their ancestors handed down to them, took them down the wrong path).  

Ehren is fil tei’erer far gelt!  Honor is dearer than money!

Az me ken nit vi me vil, muz men vellen vi me ken. If you can’t do what you like, you must like what you can do.

Mit gelt ken men nit shtoltsiren, me ken es laycht farliren!  Don’t be boastful about money, it’s easily lost.

Far gelt bakumt men alts, nor keyn sechel nit. Money buys everything except common sense.

Di kats hot lib fish, nor zi vil di fis nit ayn-netsn. The cat loves fish, but doesn’t want to get her feet wet. (This is a great one to show that work's reward, money, doesn't happen unless you work for it.) Get off your butt and get going!  

Sometimes you just have to wade in and put in the work to get what you want.

Kinder un gelt is a shaine velt. Children and money make a nice world.

On Determination

Zog nisht keyn mol az du geyst dem letstn veg. Don’t ever say you’re traveling your last road.

This saying comes from the “Partisan Song” by Hersh Glick, a Jewish partisan resistance fighter who was killed in 1944 at the age of 24. His Partisan Song became a rallying cry for Jews in the darkest days of the Holocaust and still inspires today.

On Common Sense

“Seichel’ in Yiddish means common sense. It is actually the Hebrew word for intelligence. In his autobiography Songs My Mother Taught Me, Marlon Brando uses the word “seichel” to sum up his view of the Jewish people as a whole: “There’s a Yiddish word, seychel, that provides a key explaining the most profound aspect of Jewish culture. It means to pursue knowledge and to leave the world a better place than when you entered it….”

Me varft nit aroys di umreyne vasser eyder me hot reynes. You don’t throw out the dirty water until you have a clean replacement. (I love this one--like don't leave a job unless you have a replacement.) 

A nar geyt tsvey mol dort vu a kliger geyt nit keyn eyntsik mol. A fool goes twice where a sensible person doesn’t even go once. (this is like don't do something again you know is wrong, and many of us are guilty of this.  We'll do it again and again).  

A mensch tracht un Got lacht. Man plans and God laughs.  (So there, Iran!)  

True wisdom means recognizing that not everything is in our control. Judaism urges us to focus on putting in our best efforts while realizing the outcome is the hands of the Almighty.                            

       Charlie and Moses (Morris) Yiddish only speakers-born 1906 and 1908 

Yiddish has words for more, of course.  Germans can understand quite a bit of the Yiddish language.  My father spoke nothing but Yiddish until he had to go to school.  When he got together with his sisters and mother, Yiddish was spoken.  That's all my bubba spoke!

Abdul el Sayed, A Fierce Critic Of Israel Running For Power In USA

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                

His importance is that he is a young progressive Democrat, El-Sayed defeated U.S. representative Haley Stevens in the 2026 Michigan Democratic Senate primary.  Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed "Abdul" El-Sayed  born October 31, 1984) is an American epidemiologist, public health administrator, academic and politician who is the Democratic nominee in the 2026 United States Senate election in Michigan.  He faces Republican nominee Mike Rogers in the general election. If elected, El-Sayed would be the first Muslim member of the U.S. Senate. Born and raised in southeast Michigan, El-Sayed graduated from the University of Michigan and was a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, where he earned a doctorate in public health. He then earned his medical degree from Columbia University and became an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. He was the executive director of the Detroit Health Department from 2015 to 2017, and from 2023 to 2025 he served as director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services.

In 2026, El-Sayed said the US should not fund foreign militaries at all, and in particular he identified Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

 Does he have a good chance?  

 The more mature Michael Joseph Rogers (born June 2, 1963) is an American politician and former FBI agent who served from 2001 to 2015 as the U.S. representative for Michigan's 8th congressional district. A member of the Republican Party, he chaired the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2011 to 2015.  Rogers is a longtime supporter of Israel and was aligned with AIPAC during his congressional tenure. In August 2025, he defended Israel's right to defend itself and criticized opposition to its conduct in the Gaza war. Rogers has longstanding ties to pro-Israel lobbying groups, including AIPAC, and attended four AIPAC-hosted fundraisers in Los Angeles in August 2026 while his allies explored ways for the organization and its donors to support his campaign without publicly highlighting AIPAC's involvement.

Israel

In 2026, El-Sayed was widely described as "a fierce critic of Israel". He has criticized US military funding to Israel, AIPAC, and Israeli influence in US politics. El-Sayed has said that his criticism of Israel should not be conflated with hostility toward Judaism or the Jewish people, whom he "love[s] and revere[s]" based on his experience with Jews in Michigan.

On a January 2024 podcast, El-Sayed called the war in the Gaza Strip a genocide and called for a ceasefire. In a May 2026 TIME interview, he asked: "If you can't call it what it is, which is a genocide, then how are you going to stand up to Donald Trump? How are you going to stand up to pharma CEOs?" In April 2026, El-Sayed said in a CNN interview: "Killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil. It's not how evil is this one versus that one. Hamas: evil. Israeli government: evil. We can say both."

El-Sayed has said he recognizes Israel's right to exist, but not its right to be an explicitly Jewish state. He has called Israel an ethnostate, saying, "I don't believe in ethnostates, and I certainly don't believe that our country is responsible to sustain ethnostates."El-Sayed supports "self-determination for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike".

^{Jews have gone through art least 3,000 years of distrust of those around us who were not Monotheist, but Poly-}

^{They would not accept us as full citizens, putting us in the 2nd class or worse.} 

                                                                          Iran war

El-Sayed has attributed the 2026 Iran war to AIPAC's influence in US politics. AIPAAC stands for American-Israel-Public Affairs -Committee. Jews here and in Israel are like those long ago living in Babylon and Palestine at the same time;  we have this Jewish connection;  like our navel.  Call one a name and it hurts all of us.  He called Israel a "rogue state" and said the U.S. should "stop funding the Israeli military unilateral blank checks".

In October 2026, El-Sayed discussed the war in interviews with Fox News and NBC News. He called the war illegal and said it did not increase American security and had prevented the U.S. from transporting oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz. El-Sayed also said that Israel had dragged the U.S. into a war aimed at expanding Israel's borders. He said the U.S. had paid $2.8 billion to buy 2,000-pound bombs for a foreign government in September and that he would prefer to spend the money on American schools and infrastructure.

El-Sayed was born and raised in southeast Michigan, and lives in Ann Arbor with his wife, Sarah Jukaku, whom he married in 2006, and their two daughters. He is Muslim. His father-in-law, Tayeb Jukaku, is a nephrologist, and is tied for the top individual donor to the main PAC supporting El-Sayed's Senate campaign, having given $300,000; according to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Tayeb Jukaku served as president of Michigan's chapter of the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) and he remains on its board of directors as of 2026,
