About That Global March...
Zecharia 14:12:
The Islamic regime in Tehran was not satisfied with the public support the Iranian Jewish community’s was forced to confer on the Global March to Jerusalem for which Iran is recruiting Islamists worldwide. Now, the event’s organizers, Majlis Speaker Hossein Sheikh-ol-Eslam and Salim Ghafouri, have ordered the community to send a Jewish delegation to march with the Islamist groups in Lebanon, debkafile’s Iranian sources disclose.The delegations are scheduled to mass on the Lebanese and Jordanian borders with Israel and at West Bank and Gaza checkpoints on March 30, when Israeli Arabs mark Earth Day every year.
Iran’s ancient Jewish community of around 15,000 souls (9,000 in Tehran, 4,000 in Shiraz and 1,300 in Isfahan) has been living in fear of reprisals should Israel or the United States carry out a military operation against the country’s nuclear facilities. Now, they face a fresh danger of murder and abduction by Hizballah and Palestinian gunmen and terrorists in Lebanon.
Jewish communal leaders were instructed by the Iranian authorities this week to have at least 10 young men aged 18 to 22 ready for the march. They were to be given “the honor” of acting as vanguard for breaking through the Lebanese-Israeli border fence and leading a mass incursion across the border.
They suspect that this ploy is meant to prevent Israeli soldiers from firing on the trespassers for fear of killing the Jewish contingent, while at the same time, exposing them to violence when the event is over at the hands of al-Qaeda linked Palestinian groups under Hizballah protection.

What do you mean that Judah will be forced to fight against Jerusalem? How? Why?
This is how Rashi and Metzudat David explain these pesukim.
Rashi simply says that Yehuda will be forced to fight against Yerushalayim.
Metzudat David explains, based on verse 13, that there will be much confusion abound, and those whom they thought to help out - they will then consider them to be their enemies.
Amen!
So, like, the GMJ organizers/Iranian regime are actually going to send Jews to make aliya to Eretz Yisrael? Great! May our Jewish brothers (and sisters too! Everybody come home now!) in Iran arrive safely in Eretz Yisrael. And may HaShem then "slam the door shut" in the faces of all the hostile goyim around them -- with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with signs and wonders!
I hope the ground opens up and swallows the marchers [except for the poor Iranian Jews being forced].
I actually can't believe the world is sitting back and allowing this to happen, it's the act of a bunch of bullies against a tiny country. The world is trying to wipe out bullying, unless Israel is the target - then its ok.
I guess there's a lot more drama to come, this is just the beginning.
I should also mention that Zecharia 12:2 says the same thing, and there, Rashi, Metzudat David, the Radak, and Targum Yonatan all agree to this idea.
The world sat back through the Holocaust, they sat back through Tienanmen Square, they sat back through the slaughter in Rwanda, they sat back through the Second intifada when Jews were being slaughtered on buses and in cafes. They are sitting back now as Bashar al Assad obliterates his own people with armaments and tank shells. What's not to believe? Believe it! and know there is a G-d of Justice in the world and soon we'll, G-d willing, be a witness to His Justice!
Yaak, because of your postings, I am saying Tehillim whenever I can. May Hashem protect Klal Israel.
Who is considered "Yehuda" in this generation? The pioneers guarding the land in the ?southern west bank? (Yehuda)?
