The need for the vigil as strong as ever
March 2026
Middle East violence continues. Over 1,000 dead as Lebanon attacked. Al Jazeera reports over 1,500 dead in Iran with many injured and 18 killed in Israel. The economic effects promise to be catastrophic with many economies under great strain if the hostilities continue. Killing continues in Gaza where the death toll is put at 72,268.
Ammendment
The bombing by US Tomahawks of the Minab school in Iran has received coverage in the UK. Around 175 were killed the majority of whom were girls. A moving video has been produced by protestors at Fairford in Gloucestershire from where the bombers took off. It was claimed by the prime minister that UK facilities could only be used for defensive purposes. President Trump claimed it was done by the Iranians themselves. As they do not have this weapon this is virtually impossible. Added 25 March.
Violence in the West Bank is increasing and some suggest it is because the world’s attention is focused on the current hostilities in Iran and the closure of the straight of Hormuz. This enables Palestinian villages to be attacked by settlers. There is however, an interesting report in Haaretz who say that JD Vance, the American vice president, ‘castigated Benyamin Netanyahu’ over the increased settler violence since the Iran war started. Trump promised action to the Arab nations about this violence but does not appear to have done anything.
Lebanon is under attack including the capital Beirut. The Defence minister Israel Katz is quoted in the Jewish Chronicle as saying: “hundreds of thousands of residents of southern Lebanon who evacuated northward will not return south of the Litani River until security for the residents of the north [of Israel] is ensured“. It would appear from some statements from Israeli politicians and military people that the occupation of southern Lebanon may be permanent: “the Litani [river] must be our new border with the state of Lebanon, just like the ‘Yellow Line’ in Gaza and like the buffer zone and peak of the Hermon in Syria,” Katz added, in reference to the current IDF deployment to Gaza and the Israeli presence in southwestern Syria.
‘There are no innocent children in Jenin’ a member of the Knesset said following a Palestinian family gunned down on the West Bank (source: Haaretz).
Golders Green violence
Four ambulances belonging to Hatzolah in Golders Green were set on fire and destroyed on 23rd March causing immense distress to the Jewish community in the area. The reasons for the attack or who committed the crime is unknown at present and the police are investigating. UPDATE: 27 March: two men have been arrested (26th inst) according to the Metropolitan Police.
Salisbury vigil
People are still disturbed by the continuing violence, the attacks on Iran by Israel and the US, and how the conflict is widening. There was strong attendance at the latest vigil. Deaths, including many civilian deaths and starvation, continue in Gaza, the war has spread to Lebanon and Iran as already noted. Although we do not know the precise objectives of the Iranian attacks, there were speeches by President Trump and other senior cabinet members which suggested regime change was one hope. This does not look likely now.
120 vigils and no sign of the local MP Mr John Glen and no mention of them in his weekly column in the local paper. In a letter to the Salisbury Journal (19 March) he said he was a ‘proud member’ of the Conservative Friends of Israel group.

Amnesty in Salisbury & South Wiltshire 
LOL shallow reactionary sophomoric translations suck.
Psalms 58: 1-8, 10 does not compare to Moshe struggling with his own Yatzir Ha’Ra together with the survivors of the Wilderness generations who both endured death and exile from the oath sworn lands of Canaan. The mitzva of Yovel and the pursuit of justice go hand in glove. Only in conquered Canaan where a free Independent Israelite nation rules the land can there exist “justice”. Even in the land of Canaan, whenever foreign kingdoms conquer the land and rule it, neither the Yovel כלל or the Justice פרט apply.
Goyim never accepted the Torah vision of justice at Sinai. Hence despite their “Courts of Law”, just as the Court of Par’o validated beating Israelite slaves for their failure to meet their daily quota of brick production so to all the Goyim courts throughout history ever once forced either the Church or Mosque to stand before the Bar and address their violent war crimes.
Psalm 59: 1-4, 9, 17 communicates emotional themes during times of peril. Numbers 20 re-introduces the Central “Curse” theme of the Torah – g’lut. G’lut as the negative Torah key theme opens with the expulsion of Adam from the garden, the exile of Noach in the Ark, the scattering of the people who built the Tower of Bavel, the destruction of Sodom, the exile of the sons of Yaacov to Egypt and the ensuing slavery that followed thereafter. Numbers 20, reintroduces this, the Central negative Torah theme of g’lut; which comes from the Evil Inclination known as ערב רב who came out of Egypt and reject – to this day – the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. The ערב רב by Torah definition: אין להם יראת אלהים. These assimilated and intermarried Jews – no different from Goyim – who likewises reject and do not accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai לשמה – the first and Greatest Sinai commandment which defines the whole of the revelation of the Torah. ערב רב and Goyim have no brit inheritance not to the Avot as the fathers of the chosen Cohen people nor to the land inheritance given to the chosen Cohen people – the brit descendants of the Avot.

Your foreign book of James fails. Written some 1500 years after the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, it shares no connection to the Torah because Goyim never accepted the Torah at Sinai revelation. Plus, the book of James addresses Goyim concepts of spirituality — not Jewish visions of Sanhedrin courtroom common law justice. Your apostle Paul fails to distinguish Torah common law judicial justice from Greek & Roman statute law decrees. T’NaCH Prophets, follow and compare to Moshe as a Torah prophet. Aaron and his House anointed Moshiach, whereas Moshe through Torah prophetic mussar serve as the model for later prophets who functioned as the chief enforcers of Sanhedrin courtroom judicial rulings of justice. The foreign idea that prophets predict the future, and therein “fulfill Torah commandments”, confuses witchcraft with prophesy. Torah prophets command mussar to all living generations of the chosen Cohen people. Bil’aam predicted the future as the definition of his foreign prophesy.
Hence the NT jargon of “fulfilling the words of the prophets” as off as Muhammad’s declaration that prophets sent to all Goyim and spoke in the tongue of these Goyim – who reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. The Koran, for example, declares that the Jews changed the Torah and replaced Yitzak for Yishmael at the Akadah. However, the Koran fails to show this theme where HaShem choses his Cohen people, rather than first born birth! The concept recorded twice in the opening kre’a shma blessing תמיד מעשה בראשית, understood that wisdom commandments “create” the chosen Cohen people rather than race. The “human race” shares a 98.7% genome match with Apes. Starting with Cain, through the rejection of Esav and even the first born of Israel! The still later Koran and the NT, both fail to distinguish: that korbanot exist as Torah time-oriented commandments which require k’vanna – based upon the rejection of Cain’s positive commandment and acceptance of Hevel’s wisdom commandment!
This fundamental Shabbat/Chol distinction both alien spiritualities universally fail to discern the distinction between Primary wisdom Torah commandments from secondary positive and negative Torah commandments – which serve as precedents to derives the k’vanna of wisdom commandments. Its the latter wisdom commandments which obey the Creation story whose משל metaphor of creation in 6 days – introduces the subject of wisdom time-oriented Primary Torah commandments. The Torah commands not to do מלאכה – create מלאכים – on shabbat. The Torah דיוק\inference, that the 6 days of Chol/shabbat dedicate wisdom time-oriented Primary commandments and on the last day of the week (also called shabbat, like all Torah commandments wisdom vs positive & negative secondary precedents – equally called “commandments”).
