Everyone seems to be trying to understand why HAMAS chose to attack Israel now. Many have speculated this and that for the cause. While the situation in the Middle East is complicated and interwoven with a myriad of cause and effect, the answer is really quite simple.
Hate and Evil are prevalent against the State of Israel. Jew hatred which has always existed from the time of the Exodus (over 3300 years ago), the rise of the competing One G-d religion of Islam in the 7th Century CE and the need for an international scapegoat have made the industrious, intelligent and small but thriving group of peoples known as Jews/Hebrews easy targets for the venting of such evil and hatred that is inbred in humanity.
That is the simple and most clear answer. All the rest is just diversion from this fact.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

I wanted to thank all those who have donated to this site, our YouTube & Rumble Channels for your generous support for Shmu's Views on Locals all this time. Your help has been so appreciated. As you may have noticed I no longer post videos and lessons as much as I used to. I have curtailed much of our channels on Locals, YouTube and Rumble for age-related reasons.
As a result, I cannot in good conscience continue to ask for your monthly financial contributions to the site.
Thank you so very much for all you have provided to ensure quality teachings on Judaism and politics.
I would ask that you find another worthy charity or a rabbi who teaches Torah and truth. I know they too would appreciate your support.
Again thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Shmuel ben Shlomi
