David Forman-A Heretic's View Of Judaism

    The holiday of Succot (Booths) has come and gone.  As expected, someone from the Judianity community has spoken out against Torah Judaism.  Once again a heretical leader of Judianity has masked his heretical views as "Judaism."  David Forman, pro-Arab activist disguised as a "rabbi" has voiced his opinion-a collection of half-truths.
    Forman, like Silverstein and other members of the Judianic community use familiar themes of the past to justify their hostility towards Jewish sovereignty:  Yiddish culture, excerpts from Jewish scriptures, and most significantly minority worship.  The author states:
Unless a peace accord can be forged within a very short time, given the policies of Israel's governments - Labor, Likud and Kadima - the idea of Palestinians securing any foothold in a state that they can define as their own will be nonexistent (even though they are also to blame for this sorry state of affairs). They will be restricted to their own brand of succa, dictated by an intransigent Jewish nation that is incapable of interpreting Jewish tradition and history with any sense of universal understanding - a message expressed on Succot by the offering of 70 bullocks as atonement for the 70 nations of the world (Numbers 29:12-38). This practice, reinforced in rabbinic sources (Talmud Succa 55b), is also based on a prophetic vision that all nations will join the people of Israel in Jerusalem for Succot (Zecharia 14:16).
It is true that the Nations were represented in the festival of Succot.  However, Mr. Forman doesn't mention that the reason why the sacrifices have ceased is because the Nations have destroyed the Temple and have abused the Nation (Israel) who was responsible for making them!  Furthermore, in the Blessing After The Meal (on Succot) which Jews make after eating bread, the fallen House Of David is referred to in the sentence below, "The Merciful One will erect the fallen booth of David."  This is a reference to the Kingdom of Israel and its future ruler (the Messiah).
סדור תפלה-נוסח אשכנז-סדר ברכת המזון
הָרַחֲמָן הוּא יָקִים לָנוּ אֶת סֻכַּת דָּוִד הַנּוֹפֶלֶת

    Obviously it is important to be vigilant concerning the lives of others-including non-Jews.  However, the "Palestinians" have unified themselves only to inflict harm upon the Jewish population of Israel and to, simultaneously, degrade their own standard of living.  It is apparent to everyone that with the security wall and the death of Arafat, the violence, thank G-d, has lessened measurably.  That is the same Arafat who was award the "Peace Prize" of the Nations.  The same 70 Nations who were once included in a truthful, joyous, and harmonious ceremony have now, in modern times, repaid the Nation of Israel by rewarding a criminal serial murderer in a lavish false ceremony.   Should Israel be held accountable for its actions and those of the Arabs?  David Forman shows, that like Arafat's Nobel Prize, partial truths are total lies being disguised.

I stole this from JPost comments. Daniel Pinner שליט"א is well known in Jerusalem.

11. So Mr Forman, how many homeless Palestinians did you invite into YOUR Succa? How many Palestinians have you ever entertained in your house?
How many poor, homeless Palestinians have you ever fed or cared for? Come to that, are poor, helpless, stateless Palestinians allowed anywhere at all near YOUR house? Now be honest for once in your life, Mr Forman: we all know that you have never in your life allowed a Palestinian into your house; but if, by some remote chance, a Palestinian did somehow get into your house, would you be willing to go to sleep knowing that a Palestinian were in the next room? All your self-righteous hypocritical specious claptrap is third-person morality: always someone else must pay the price for your ideology
