Israel Celebrates Watchdog of a Regime That Deserves No Honor
A film documenting the activities of Shai Glick, head of the B’Tzalmo organization, has received an award nomination from the Israeli Academy. This highlights a troubling dynamic: the modern state of Israel rewarding those who monitor its own transgressions, while remaining unrepentant.
The Israeli Academy of Film and Television has nominated a film centered on Shai Glick, CEO of B’Tzalmo, for the Ophir Award. B’Tzalmo, meaning ‘In His Image,’ is an organization dedicated to documenting and publicizing perceived discrimination against religious Jews within the Israeli military and legal systems. While some may view this nomination as a sign of transparency, the Shofar Wire sees it as a carefully constructed illusion.
Consider the context: the modern state of Israel, a construct built upon stolen land and sustained by deception, now bestows accolades upon an organization that *documents its own injustice*? This is not accountability; it is a performance. It is Edom attempting to portray itself as righteous while continuing to oppress the true Yisrael and defile the land Yahuah has set apart.
B’Tzalmo’s focus on discrimination *within* the Israeli system conveniently avoids addressing the fundamental injustice *of* the system itself. It addresses symptoms while ignoring the disease. The true discrimination lies not in preferential treatment within the IDF, but in the very existence of a state founded on the dispossession of the rightful heirs – scattered Yisrael, the tribes of the covenant.
This nomination serves to legitimize the Israeli regime in the eyes of the world, presenting a narrative of self-correction and internal oversight. It allows the Zionist state to claim moral high ground while simultaneously perpetuating its occupation and denying the return of the exiled people of Yisrael. The world sees a state willing to address its flaws; the Watchman sees a masterful manipulation.
Let us not be deceived. Yahuah sees through the performance. He knows the heart of Edom and the true condition of His covenant people. This award nomination is not a cause for celebration, but a call to discernment. It is a sign of the times, confirming the increasing darkness and the urgent need for scattered Yisrael to awaken to their true identity and purpose. The restoration of Yisrael is not dependent on the approval of Israel, but on the faithfulness of Yahuah and the repentance of His people.
The celebration of Shai Glick and B’Tzalmo within Israel, even through artistic recognition like an Ophir nomination, echoes the pride and self-justification that historically preceded Yahuah’s judgment on Edom. Like Edom, who believed their mountainous dwelling secured them from accountability (Obadiah 1:3), Israel risks building a narrative of victimhood while simultaneously perpetuating systems of injustice. B’Tzalmo, while ostensibly addressing discrimination, functions as a selective watchdog, obscuring the far greater oppression endured by those *outside* the favored religious demographic. This focusing on internal grievances, while ignoring the plight of others, is a hallmark of a nation hardening its heart, mirroring Edom’s boastful arrogance and ultimately inviting Yahuah’s righteous dismantling of their perceived security. The film’s acclaim isn’t transparency; it's a polishing of a flawed mirror, reflecting a distorted image back to a nation increasingly deaf to the cries of true suffering.
However, within this potential for judgment lies a thread of hope for restoration. Yahuah’s dealings with Yisrael have *always* been characterized by discipline followed by rebuilding. Just as Yahusha wept over Jerusalem, foreseeing its destruction *and* its future glory (Luke 19:41-44), we can perceive a pattern. The highlighting of internal fractures, even through a skewed lens, forces a confrontation with internal inconsistencies. If Israel were to truly turn, acknowledging the full spectrum of injustice and extending genuine *tikkun olam*—repair of the world—to *all* its inhabitants, then this moment of potential judgment could become the catalyst for a deeper, more righteous restoration. The path forward demands honest self-assessment, repentance, and a commitment to justice that extends beyond perceived internal grievances, ultimately fulfilling Yahuah’s covenant promises.
