| British Gas: A Deadly Deal: By Moshe Feiglin | | Manhigut Yehudit Weekly Update (July 3, 08) Issue: 6839 Translated from Moshe Feiglin's article on Ma'ariv's NRG website. It looks like the Israeli government is preparing to release approximately 1,000 terrorists in exchange for Gilad Shalit.
Question: How many Israelis will die as a result of this deal?
Answer: Anything over zero is likely to be right. A conservative estimate is about 100.
Question: How many soldiers will be abducted as a result of this deal? And how many parents will find themselves in the shoes of the Shalit family?
Answer: Anything over zero is likely to be right. A conservative estimate is about ten.
Question: If the implications of this deal are so clear, why is Israel's government proceeding with the plan?
Answer: The murdered and abducted of the future have no political significance at this point. It is the current captives that are shaking government seats. Due to the fact that Israel suffers from a complete loss of values and destiny, the politicians have nothing more to do than to ensure their personal political survival. Gilad Shalit is a threat to this survival. Future captives are not.
Question: So what should we do? Abandon Gilad Shalit?
Answer: Israel should eliminate the Hamas political leaders one by one until Gilad Shalit is freed. We will make it clear that if any harm befalls him, the entire political elite will be eliminated - with no exceptions. If the head of the Hamas is directing the negotiations for Shalit's release, that means that he is responsible for the fact that he is still in captivity. This fact means that he deserves to die.
Question: So why doesn't Israel carry out this plan?
Answer: This is where I have to explain things from my personal experience.
Most of us remember that Ariel Sharon released 436 terrorists in exchange for Israeli drug dealer Elchanan Tannenbaum. Sharon applied heavy pressure tactics to convince the ministers in his government to approve the deal. At the beginning, most of the ministers opposed the deal. I personally called some of them and discussed the issue with them at length. It was clear that the ministers had no answers for the objections that I brought up. In most cases, the ministers ended the conversation in embarrassed silence.
Ultimately, Sharon bulldozed the deal through the cabinet. Later, Tannenbaum was also released from an Israeli prison before he finished serving his sentence, and started a new career. At that point, I already felt that the only explanation for Sharon's strange behavior was that Tannenbaum had something on him. I could not explain to myself how the government could approve such an insane deal in any other way. Just to remind you, Tannenbaum was not a soldier captured in the line of duty. He was a drug dealer who put his own life in danger so that he could make some criminal money. According to reports from the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Knesset, 29 Israeli citizens have been murdered by terrorists released in exchange for this lowlife. The Tannenbaum deal also created motivation to abduct additional soldiers. Clearly, the motivation to kidnap Gilad Shalit was triggered in part by the inordinately high price paid in the Tannenbaum deal and previous prisoner exchanges.
At this point, I must ask another question - only seemingly unrelated to the abduction of soldiers. Why did Sharon insist on making Ehud Olmert the number 2 man in his government? Olmert was in 33rd place on the Likud list at the time - a most unlikely candidate for the number 2 spot. Why did Sharon make him Deputy Prime Minister - the position that eventually afforded him the premiership of the State of Israel?
I have recently read a 60 page report titled 'The British Gas Government.' The document is based almost completely on public sources. It ties Tannenbaum, Sharon and many other currently serving Israeli leaders to the British Gas Company and its owner, billionaire Martin Schlaf. It seems that Schlaf buys politicians like houses in a Monopoly game and then uses them for his business needs. Arafat was one of Schlaf's first 'acquisitions.' Schlaf received a hefty portion of the Jericho casino profits in exchange for his favors. Arafat's private jet was owned by Martin Schlaf.
This document explains the source of the surprising wealth of some very prominent politicians in Israel who have never worked a day in their lives. It explains why Israel did not develop the natural gas field off the Haifa coast, and preferred to sign a dubious contract with the British Gas company, which is drilling - you guessed it - off the coast of Gaza.
Yes, it seems that Tannenbaum has some very unpleasant information about a number of Israeli politicians who are snugly in the pocket of Martin Schlaf. Lucky for us, Schlaf is not interested in an Israeli military strike on Gaza that could endanger his business interests off the coast.
I often explain that Israel is in limbo because it has lost its Jewish vision. On the tactical plane, that essential loss of vision finds its expression in nearly incomprehensible levels of personal corruption.
If you have been asking yourself why Israel does not eliminate the terror leaders responsible for Shalit's abduction or other questions such as: Why are we stuck with this despicable character for a prime minister? Why can't Israel beat the Kassams? What is the tactical reason that always stops Israel's leadership from taking action? Just remember the name Martin Schlaf. |
06/29/08 ( IsraelNN.com) Almagor, a group which represents terror victims, said Sunday that the government's decision regarding the deal with Hizbullah means that the Second Lebanon War has ended in a fiasco and "all of the government's promises and bravado faded with a whimper." Almagor chairman, Lieut.-Col. (res.) Meir Indor said: "The governments' duty now is to explain to 117 families of the fallen soldiers in the Second Lebanon War, and to the families of civilian victims who died during the war, why did Israel go to war when it could have surrendered to the Hizbullah's demands from the outset?" When Israel attacked in Lebanon 2006, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the main objective was to rescue the abducted soldiers.
Peace Process By Stan GoodenoughJune 27, 2008 PLO chief and PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas' senior spokesman Thursday asserted presumptuously that the "successful" outcome of the land-for-peace process would make a greater impact on the Middle East than that made by Jesus Christ. Saeb Erekat was speaking at a conference funded by the ultra-leftist 'Peres Center for Peace' in Tel Aviv. "If we want a peace agreement – there are only six months left. This is the time to make decisions," Erekat said. He insisted that there are solutions to the "core issues" of who will get Jerusalem, what will happen to the "Palestinian refugees," and what the final borders of Israel and Palestine will be. "The Israeli and Palestinian (sic) leaders who reach an agreement will be more important to the region's history than Jesus," Erekat proclaimed. Abbas’ man, unsurprisingly, also expressed support for the ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza-controlling Hamas terrorists who are exploiting the truce to re-arm in preparation for the next onslaught on Jewish population centers in the south. "We want the truce in Gaza to hold. It is good to give a chance for peace, and the calm is necessary for us," he said.
About Dividing Of Israel
May 07, 2008 There is a Bible story familiar to practically everyone that relates directly to efforts by the international community to divide Israel for the purpose of creating a Palestinian state. It can be found in 1 Kings 3. The young king Solomon dreams of a conversation with the Lord in which he asks for wisdom to judge God's people. God grants the desires of Solomon's heart as well as bestowing upon him a long life, great riches and honor. Immediately after Solomon claims this promise with sacrifices, peace offerings and a feast to all his servants, he gets to judge the most famous case of his life. Two harlots come before him – each claiming a baby as their own. "And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house. And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it. And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. "And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king. Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. "Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. "Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof. "And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment. That's the story everyone knows. But is there special meaning for today in these words? Could this story relate directly to the two-state solution being planned by the internationalist busybodies who seek to split Israel in half? Is it possible that this familiar old Bible story actually contains a prophecy yet to be fulfilled? Assume for the moment that King Solomon in this story represents the King of all creation, the Lord of the universe. The first woman in the story represents the Jewish people. Her baby represents Israel. Let's further assume the second mother represents the Arabs. Notice the second woman had her baby three days after the first woman. The Jewish state was first created 3,000 years ago. The Arabs are trying, 3,000 years later, to create an Arab Palestinian state where none has previously existed. The Bible tells us in both the Old Testament and the New Testament that one day is like a thousand years to God. There is the reference in Psalms 90:4: "For a thousand years in Thy sight are like yesterday when it passes by." And there is the reference in 2 Peter 3:8: "But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." So, three days, or 3,000 years, ago the Jewish people gave birth to the nation of Israel. Today, three days, or 3,000 years, later, Palestinian Arabs who are mostly recent migrants to the land with no established history there and no prior national claim arrive and try to steal the baby. It's also worth noting that a tactic used by the Arabs is to sacrifice their own children as suicide bombers in their effort to "liberate" the land. Further, did they not, perhaps even unknowingly, kill their own baby when they rejected a state of their own with the 1947 partition plan? Like the first mother, haven't the Jewish people expressed a willingness to give up half the land in a division plan just to keep their precious baby alive? And haven't the Arabs, like the bitter second mother, agreed to the division plan – the splitting of the child in two, knowing it would result only in the death of the baby. If my analogy is true, though, it's not going to happen. The baby will not be killed. Because like King Solomon, God Almighty has already decided the baby belongs to the Jews.
May 12, '08  Rabbi Aviner to Religious Girls: Don't Enlist
by Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) Rabbi Shlomo Aviner of Beit El published an article in Maayanei HaYeshua, a weekly magazine aimed at the religious and newly-religious audience, in which he called upon young women not to enlist to the IDF. "If it is a challenge you are looking for," he wrote in an open letter to religious girls, "we have a wonderful challenge for you: cancellation of young women's military service, until there is 'national service' for all of them, including the secular girls, just as secular women's groups demand. Create a movement of girls for cancelling the draft for young women. What a great challenge!" Under the headline – "Don't Enlist, G-d Forbid!," Rabbi Aviner wrote: "Never enlist to the army, in any framework and in any way. G-d forbid! Never!" He mentioned that all of the great sages of modern Israel forbade women's service in the IDF, including the chief rabbis and religious-Zionist rabbis, some of whom served in the IDF and attained senior rank. "It is forbidden! Forbidden like kashrut! Forbidden like Shabbat! And especially, forbidden like tzniut [modesty]!," he explained. Rabbi Aviner mentioned the argument offered by some young women, that they want to serve the country through the military service, but rejected it: "One does not do a mitzvah [commandment] by doing an avera [transgression]," he explained. Enlistment by women damages the army, he said. The role of women in war is to support the men of the family who go to war, he said, but their enlistment is a chilul HaShem [act of desecration]." 'Ah, the uniform!'
Rabbi Aviner questioned the true motive for the enlistment of young women: "You are not going to the army just for the country but for yourself. Be honest! You are going because it is a challenge, for the feeling and the experience, because it is a great window of opportunity – a profession, an education, academic studies. Generally speaking, being a soldier is an honor, and especially the uniform. Ah, the uniform!" The rabbi went on to suggest a plan of action: "As with any ideal, start with yourself. Then convince two girls who want to enlist to stop and see the light, and let each of them convince two others, and so on until we completely put an end to this evil. A mixed army is truly immodest, it is terrible…" If the IDF needs women, the Rabbi added, let it hire civilians. Rabbi Aviner said that comparing service in the military with boys to membership in a mixed-sex youth movement is "a despicable lie." The military, he explained, is not a place where get whatever you ask for. "There is a regime. There is obedience. There are orders. You cannot switch jobs if your assignment turns out to be problematic. Not only that, even if you are well off, you could get to another, problematic unit." The IDF has no unit which is protected from mingling between the sexes, he reminded his readers, and added that the situation in that respect is getting worse. "Swimming against the current is an experience, but don't swim in a muddied stream," Aviner wrote. "We need you for the Nation of Israel for your whole life and not just for these two years. We need you to function as a clean and pure woman, without a dark record from the past. Do not harm the building of your delicate, pure, spiritual personality. The army is a place where others make decisions for you and you are not free. The general atmosphere is far from pure, too. What could be fun and experiences for other girls may turn out to be a deep scar for your whole life." Zionsake Comment at the Article: This is what Barry Chamish reported about Rabbi Aviner:
...They have gathered damning evidence that Aviner is a Shabak plant inside the Yesha Council. They are certain he has already sabotaged the march beyond repair.
The evidence is indeed damning. In one of his books, Aviner admits to working for an Israeli intelligence agency. He told the Maariv reporter Kalman Lipskind that, "Every now and then the Shabak asks me to write an article for them." As the case builds, one scholar makes the claim that Aviner is a Sabbataian. He notes that his name appeared on an internet list of Israeli freemasons. He has been brought before rabbinic courts for falsifying decrees concerning the correct time for marital relations. In the
religious world, this is about as serious a charge as can be laid. It means he sanctioned children born into sin.
"And it's Aviner," I was told," who has been destroying the resistance movement from within. It is he who has ordered his soldier students to obey commands to attack us. It is he who has decreed no resistance to the police. And he is a major organizer of tomorrow's march, so you can be sure it will be a sham."
And now the Disengagement of Judea and Samaria is on. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) will be abandoning 40 villages, leaving in its place, rent-a-cops. And ten villages won't even get private guards. They are on their own. Don't ask why the residents pay taxes for protection. It's gone. And for this we can thank the Pipes Plan of '05. Why use the army to pull the Jews out of Gaza when all the army has to do is leave? http://israelirevolutionary.blogspot.com/2008/04/insanity-front.html
http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/287 - Should the [Israeli] government go ahead with the forcible removal of Jewish residents of Gaza, intra-Israeli violence appears to be a distinct possibility. Which in turn makes me wonder why the Israeli authorities do not take quite a different track and merely stop providing security for them.
-
- Faced with the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces, Israeli residents of Gaza can make up their own minds about what to do. Presumably, they will peacefully leave their houses. This should be done with much advance notice: "On some date in 2005, the IDF will be withdrawn from Gaza. Make your decisions accordingly."
The author of the ghastly plan is Daniel Pipes, a neo-con member of the Council On Foreign Relations, who got his money and influence not through any talent, he has little enough of that, but because his daddy Richard was head of the CIA's Soviet Office.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/125978In the latest in a series of decisions making Jewish life in Judea and Samaria more difficult, the army is leaving 40 towns.
The IDF is transferring the responsibility for protecting 40 Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) to private firms, and withdrawing protection altogether from ten others. The Yesha Council's Security Officer, Shlomo Vaknin, says, "The government is privatizing our security."
Recent decisions affecting the personal and communal safety in Yesha towns include the following: - Cancellation of Mivtzar program, in which a local emergency response team is trained by the army, to be utilized in case of a terrorist infiltration or other such crisis. "Mivtzar was the ideal response to the threat on our towns," Vaknin explains. "The fighters know the area, are well-trained, and their presence here was permanent and binding. The towns near Gaza and in the north want to copy this program - yet here the army is cancelling it..."
- Collection of weapons from the communities. The army explains that weapons had been stolen from residents, and that any trained resident who wishes to obtain a gun can do so.
- Cancellation of subsidies for enforcing private cars' windows from rock attacks.
- Withdrawal of National Service girls from security headquarters in the towns.
- Cancellation of budgeted funding for protecting school buses for special-education and handicapped children against shooting attacks. "We will not be able to open the school year next year if a solution is not found," Vaknin warns.
- Cancellation of budgeted funding for running security vehicles. "Some towns simply cannot use their security vehicles anymore," Vaknin says.
Of the neo-con agenda, Israelis were given a one evening course of their deranged thinking by one John Loftus in '03. Loftus was a member of the board of the Root And Branch Association, I add, my favorite lecturing ground in Jerusalem. And when he was scheduled to speak, chairman Arye Gallin invited me to watch his speech and present Loftus with my books. I did this but I wouldn't sign the books. I used to be a top drawer, getting up to 100 for my speeches. One DVD I sell, The Vatican's New Campaign For Jerusalem, was recorded at Root And Branch. But for Loftus, the crowds were around the block outside the building. Close to 300 were there for him. And did he disappoint! He began well, giving an overview of the oil cabal he described in the book co-written with Mark Aarons, The Secret War Against The Jews. The villains were the likes of J.D. Rockefeller, Prescott Bush, the Dulles brothers, John Foster and Allen, etc. When I asked him why he just didn't say that ALL his secret warriors were initial members of the CFR, he turned flush with anger and said, "Anyone who associates the CFR with the oil cartel is nuts. The President is his own man and takes no advice from his father." And then he added, "The Oslo Accord was good for you and you should not retaliate for attacks against it." Finally, the audience awoke. "Not retaliate?" one asked. "We've suffered 2,000 casualties since Oslo." I add, it's past 10,000 now. "Don't worry," he added. " WE have everything in control. Saddam Hussein snuck out his weapons of mass destruction at night by truck when our satellites couldn't see them, into the Bekaa Valley of Syria. After Iraq, we'll take them from Syria." Stunned crowd! Sitting next to me is Gemma Blech, the photographer of my book Bye Bye Gaza. She observes, "He's giving away the New World Order plan." And then, continued Loftus, "We'll sweep into Iran and polish them off." Loftus returned to America and to his commentator job at Fox-News. Twelve of the audience met at a Kosher Italian restaurant down the street to digest the insanity we had heard. We agreed, this was the Bush, neo-con battle plan. And whatever you may think of the Iraqi resistance, without out it, the Pipes-Loftus-Cheney-Rumsfield et al gang would have had their way with ease. But back in Israel today, the water will be a trickle by late July and the IDF is taking Pipes at his word.
Link: http://hlincarchive.multiply.com/journal/item/17I read Barry Chamish's latest newsletter, titled, "FROM YOM KIPUR 1973 TO PASSOVER 2008" late last night. It cost me a lot of sleep, especially when I linked it to a report earlier the evening about 6,000 Druze in the north of Israel demonstrating about their land being dispossessed for a gas pipeline. It reminded me of a conspiracy some years before to get Israel off the Golan so that an oil pipeline could be built over it from Iraq. Here is the info about that: Why The Golan Squeeze? By Barry Chamish
April 9, '08 Israel Facing Severe Leadership Crisis by Sarah Morrison  (IsraelNN.com) Former Director General in the Prime Minister’s Office under then-Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir, Yossi Ben Aharon, recently discussed current leadership in Israel with IsraelNationaRadio's Yishai Fleischer. Ben Aharon, who has served in almost every Israeli government, believes that Israel is facing a "very severe crisis of leadership."  "It is for the simple reason that previous leaders have failed time and time again [at peace]," Ben Aharon said. "Current leaders fail to understand the lessons derived from failures in the past. They don't study the reasons for the failure. Therefore, they fail to adopt the policy that will take Israel into a new reality that has hope and some kind of prospect for a better life for our people."
  Ben Aharon is not looking for a Messianic type of peace, but a peace that won't allow things such as the Sderot crisis to happen. "A major township is being attacked day in and day out," Ben Aharon said. "We have the power to put an end to this shameful situation, but the leadership has pretexts. They look into defensive measures of strengthening the roofs of buildings... it's an utter inability and a bankruptcy."
Ben Aharon believes that the challenge for Israelis today is to truly understand the political issues of the day and avoid the strong media angles that influence their decisions. He stated that the media needs to present the hard facts and let the listener reach his or her own conclusion.  "I have faith in our people," Ben Aharon said. "So many times, the people are wiser than the leadership... We have, unfortunately, a media that is failing in its mission... but apparently [Israelis] are marching in the same direction. There is a kind of paralysis. They're all under the same kind of influence. They believe constantly that this leadership and the previous leadership is the only one that is capable of providing solutions that are vital for our existence."
Ben Aharon also said that the media and the leadership "go hand in hand." He said that they provide intellectual support for each other, and "they are all sitting in musical chairs. They all change their opinions. They think everyone is listening to them and that they're providing counsel to the people, but they don't realize that they are only providing it to each other." Ben Aharon attributes the public’s disappointment in failed peace treaties to a "false diet of peace" that Israelis are fed to trick them into believing that peace is just around the corner. "The people of Israel look to the leadership. They thought that they were capable of bringing this about. They thought Prime Ministers would bring peace, and they were disappointed. However, they refused to believe that their leadership failed. They were brainwashed. They were made to believe that peace was obtainable. These politicians came one after the other and promised that they could provide. I think we have reached the end of the tether to this approach. Hopefully, the current leadership will step down and will be placed in a corner of history that will be completely marginal."
Link: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/125751 (IsraelNN.com) The Jabotinsky Heritage House in Tel Aviv recently completed a study on the psychological training given to IDF soldiers before the 2005 “Disengagement” and its effect on subsequent IDF operations. The psychological training given to soldiers had a serious impact on soldiers’ performance in later conflicts, researchers found. Dr. Gadi Eshel said the research team managed to collect a vast amount of material on the mental preparation for the eviction and the eviction itself. The material showed that the army put a great deal of effort into creating terms that would help soldiers to feel that they were doing the right thing, said researcher Ruthie Isakovich. Isakovich labeled the training given to soldiers to mentally prepare them to evict Jews “brainwashing.”

15 Adar I, 5768 (Feb.21) Issue 6821 | The Finger in the Gaza Dike: By Moshe Feiglin | | Feb. '08 Translated from Moshe Feiglin's article on the Ma'ariv NRG website.  The children of Sderot are the finger in the Gaza dike. They are there to save us all from the great flood. The difference between them and the Dutch Hans Brinker is that they did not volunteer for the job. We have forcibly stuck their fingers in the dike, and returned to our own affairs.
After one (Italian) bomb, the children of pre-State Haifa were evacuated to Hadera. Haifa's residents were no less patriotic than today's Israelis. Winston Churchill evacuated London's children during the Blitz. Chruchill was certainly no less a patriot than Olmert. So after seven years of missile bombardment, why hasn't Israel evacuated the children of Sderot? Are we braver than the War of Independence generation? The answer is simple. If we evacuate the children of Sderot, their parents will follow, and they won't come back. They won't come back because the State of Israel is not capable of winning a war that it does not understand - a war that it denies. Unlike the War of Independence or London in World War II, we know that we will not win. That is why the children of Sderot will not return and that is why their parents will follow suit. If we evacuate the children of Sderot, the same scenario will quickly take place in Ashkelon and Ashdod - until everything collapses. We have stuck the children of Sderot in the Gaza dike to maintain Peres' 'peace legacy' - and then we changed the channel. At one point or another, Olmert's prime ministerial chair will begin to quake, and he will have to send the IDF into Gaza. Even if we momentarily ignore the outrageous lack of moral standing of those responsible for the Expulsion, it is still clear that it is absolute folly to send the IDF back into Gaza. A military incursion into Gaza that is not for the purpose of conquering it, solving its overpopulation problem in other places in the world, declaring full Israeli sovereignty there and making the entire area flourish with one hundred Gush Katifs - will achieve nothing but the pointless deaths of our soldiers. Our sons will run through the alleys of Jebalyah, being sure not to harm 'innocent civilians.' And with maximum consideration and concern for our foes, our sons will be murdered as they fight from house to house, until they complete their mission with supreme heroism. (Assuming that the Four Mothers don't mix in too early.) And then the Prime Minister (no matter who he is) will ceremoniously give Gaza to the Fatah - the good terrorists. Simply put, we are about to sacrifice our sons so that we can transfer the Gaza Strip from arch-murderer A to arch-murderer B. Since Oslo, Israel's political strategy has been compelled exclusively by the Oslo option. Rabin brought Arafat to Israel so that he would fight the Hamas. Now terrorist B is launching missiles at us. So we will conquer Gaza, this time for terrorist C. Or even worse and more absurd, we will send our sons to be killed to conquer Gaza and return it to terrorist A. After all, Yossi Beilin is sure to sternly warn that if we do not take advantage of the 'window of opportunity' and get killed for terrorist A, we will get terrorist D or who knows? Maybe even terrorist E. And we will continue to transfer Gaza from one terrorist to the next. And each and every one of them will continue to fire missiles at Sderot. Do we really think that the world will allow us to rebuild Gush Katif? Of course not. So let's be serious. Maybe we should just cut off their electricity and water. But if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that the world will not allow us to do that either. And rightfully so! Because if Gaza is not part of our land, Sderot is not part of our land either. And of course, if we gave the Temple Mount to the Moslems, there is also no justification for the Jews to settle in Tel Aviv. The fact that the world claims that every potentially effective action that Israel takes in Gaza is illegitimate does not stem from a sudden outbreak of uncontrollable world-wide humanism. In the eyes of the world, it is illegitimate for Israel to defend Sderot because the world is convinced that the Hamas is right. Just imagine if, in the beginning of World War II, Churchill would have announced that London actually does belong to Hitler. Or even worse, just imagine what would have happened if Churchill himself had destroyed the border towns of England and then ceremoniously bestowed them on the Nazi murderer. Would he have enjoyed world support after that for bombing Dresden? But we have already left Gaza? Very true. And by fleeing Gaza, we have also proven that Sderot is not ours, either. The entire world has seen how Israel has driven the Jews who believe in the Jewish claim on the Land of Israel from their homes. Everyone saw how Israel destroyed their towns and abandoned their synagogues to the Arab hordes. In full view of the gleeful world media, the State of Israel performed the most amazing moral hara-kiri of all times - obliterating any measure of justification for Jewish sovereignty over even one grain of the Holy Land in the process. The Hamas terrorists may not be nice, but in the eyes of the world, they are just. They bomb civilians? So what? The British and Americans also bombed civilians. The world is with them because they are convinced that they are right. Israel has already made that clear. So now what do we do about Sderot? The solution is to re-build one hundred Gush Katifs. That is impossible to accomplish under our present circumstances? Then we must evacuate the children. But the children of Sderot are the finger in the dike! We have only two choices. Either we create leadership that will fight, liberate the Temple Mount and Gaza and restore the justice that we lost in Gush Katif, or we will continue to live in Oslodian denial - at the expense of the blood of Sderot's children.

| It really is time to wake up by David Wilder
February 20, 2008
Have you ever wondered why, when you have an infection, it hurts. For example, if you have a tooth that's rotted, or you've cut yourself badly, but in a place where you don't necessarily see the wound, what would happen if it didn't cause you pain? The answer is quite straightforward. The infection spreads, or if you're bleeding, you keep bleeding, and eventually you die. It's as simple as that. In other words, even though we go to great pains to avoid pain, such aches can save our lives. Israel is hurting, but for some reason we don't feel the pain. Or perhaps we're ignoring it. How long have we been hurting for? I suppose I could go back hundreds and thousands of years. There's original sin, but back then there still weren't Jews. Perhaps though, as far as Jews are concerned, there's a second version of original sin: bowing down to the Golden Calf or the rejection by ten spies of Eretz Yisrael. Today, thousands of years later, we are still suffering from the identical afflictions. Let's not go back so far. Let's start with the 'first intifada,' in the late 1980s and going into the early 1990s. There were numerous terror attacks which left many too many Jews dead and wounded. But that war is primarily remembered for 'rock-throwing,' which was not considered to be a very serious crime. Aside from the fact that rocks can, do, and have killed people, the significance of that period was twofold. First, our enemy organized himself to rebel against the state of Israel and its Jewish inhabitants, with the set goal of eventually wiping Israel off the map. True, rocks doesn’t seem that dangerous, but look at where they’ve led! That can be examined though point number two: That is, they attacked, they declared war, and we, collectively, the state of Israel, the prime minister, the defense minister, the cabinet, the armed forces, ignored them. In their eyes it was not a war, rather it was an 'uprising,' which could be quelled. However I remember quite vividly Defense Minister Moshe Arens, who then had the power and authority to do whatever was necessary, saying that 'it would take time.' Look how much time has passed and where we are today. The infection had taken hold and was starting to spread. But where was the pain? Then came Rabin-Peres-Oslo-Hebron-Wye. The disease had made its mark. Rather than fighting the infection with a good strong antibiotic to kill the illness, Israel's so-called leaders decided upon radical surgery: Amputation. Cut off a limb or two to save the rest. But sometimes the disease spreads faster than originally thought and local amputation isn't enough. Israel kept hurting, the infection kept spreading. The pain continued but we insisted that it really didn't hurt. We offered to amputate more – Camp David II, version Barak, included a lobotomy. To no avail. Intifada II. Major warfare. Hundreds and thousands of civilians and IDF personnel murdered in cold blood. Yet again our 'leadership' refused to accept the reality of the situation and continued to deny the throbbing of open, festering infections, swiftly spreading through the body of our country, our land, our people. Again they attempted major amputation. Gush Katif and the northern Shomron. Some ten thousand people expelled from their homes and their land, our land, abandoned to the cancer eating away at our souls. But that too wasn't enough to eradicate the infection, the disease. Despite the tears of so many thousands of people, the pain of expulsion and destruction, the rest of the country was insensitive to their misery. Where are we today? Rockets, falling by the hundreds and thousands on Sderot, fired from the same land we abandoned, shouldn't surprise anyone. Neither should the total disregard of the Israeli government shock anyone. After all, why shouldn't the terrorists shoot at us? When was the last time Israel reacted to attacks on its people? Mortars fell on Gush Katif for years and years, yet no one saw them, heard them, or felt the trauma and physical injury they caused. Gunfire was directed at Hebron and other communities throughout Judea and Samaria for two years, the source of which, again, was land that Israel GAVE to the enemy. For two years the Israeli government totally overlooked the suffering of its own people. Ditto Kiryat Shmona and other northern cities, who lived with Katusha fire from Southern Lebanon for years, yet had to watch as Israel fled, only to leave them again at the mercy of terrorists who utilized the vacuum to prepare and then shoot hundreds of missiles into Israel. One more brief current example fresh out of Hebron. The Supreme Court recently ruled that, despite the continued rocket attacks on Israel, we must provide the 'civilian population' in Gaza with 'humanitarian aid.' Yet here in Hebron, twenty families in Beit HaShalom, legally purchased property, were not allowed to install windows or electric lines or tar the roof, despite the freezing winter weather. The windows have arrived but electricity still runs through a generator and apartments are full of puddles from water draining through the roof and walls to the floor. Where do we stand today? The foreign minister, (an extremely apt title, because she is foreign to everything Israel ever really stood for) declares that we must continue to chop up our country for the sake of peace, even though the other side is incapable of keeping their side of the deal. We have a Prime Minister, (reminiscent of Chamberlain, holding an umbrella over the head of Abu Mazen), who insists that "Jerusalem is not on the table," or will only be discussed 'last.' But his counterpart denies this and proclaims, 'everything is being discussed.' Simultaneously, political parties such as Shas, continue to contradict reality, remaining in a government on the verge of amputation, stage III – this time the head and heart go. Where are the people? Does anyone remember that only a few weeks ago a member of an official national committee of inquiry admitted that their conclusions were based, not on the virtues of a specific event, in this instance, the behavior of Olmert during the Second Lebanese War, rather on political factors: if he can bring 'peace' that must be a major consideration before any conclusions are reached. Let's go back to our toothache. Such a small piece of bone, yet it can cause such excruciating pain. Sometimes, as first aid, the doctor or dentist will fill the area with some kind of temporary painkiller, to numb the pain. It seems that this is what Israel has done to itself. I'm not sure if we have injected ourselves with some kind of Novocain which has totally dulled our senses, or have swallowed a large dose of sleeping medicine. But one way or the other, these 'medications' have seemingly killed all pain, thereby allowing the infection invading our body to run rampant, totally uncontrolled, bring us to an extremely dangerous threshold. Unfortunately there are times when the doctor, referring to a gangrenous limb, says, 'either the limb or the life.' Many years ago, Rabbi Meir Kahane hy"d suggested transfer of Israel's Arab population from the State. He was called a racist, imprisoned and forbidden from running for Knesset. Another Jew, Rehavam Ze'evi, (Gandhi) hy"d, also suggested 'transfer' as a solution to the Arab-Israel conflict. He too was called a racist. The Arabs took both men seriously. Both were assassinated. Presently Israelis, including ministers and MKs are offering payoffs to Jews, as incentive to transfer (expel) them from their homes in Judea and Samaria, in the name of peace. They are not called racists. They are called 'lovers of peace.' The Jews in Judea and Samaria are, at present, the only people keeping Israel alive. They are the only ones who have not succumbed to the Novacaine-Sleeping Pill cocktail ingested by the rest of the country. But it is very difficult for a small number of people (percentage wise) to swim against the current of the rest of the population. We haven't been able to stop or prevent past catastrophes and I'm not sure that we'll be able to this time either. By ourselves. It is time for the rest of the Jewish world, in Israel and around the globe to stop the medicine, to arise, to feel the pain – no not the personal aches of individuals, but the pain of Am Yisrael over the ages, the pain of Eretz Yisrael, who seeing her children come home is now witnessing a process of self-destruction. I highly suggest, as a way to start coming out of the stupor, that every single person reading this article find or purchase a DVD called 'Farewell Israel,' written and directed by Joel Gilbert. It can be ordered at www.farewellisrael.com. This is one of the most important, and also one of the scariest documentaries I've ever seen. I cannot recommend it enough. And after viewing it a few times, internalize it and pass it on to a friend. If this, together with present current events in Israel doesn’t stir you, I'm not sure if anything ever will. It really is time to wake up. Web: www.hebron.com Ma'arat HaMachpela: www.machpela.com

The Jewish Leadership Weekly Newsletter Feb. 7, 2008 Issue 6819 | No Price Tag for 'Responsibility' | |  How can Ehud Olmert get away with proclaiming that "the responsibility for what happened (in the Lebanon War fiasco) is all mine" and not resigning? Something strange has happened to the concept of responsibility in Israel. In Israel, when a leader says he is accountable for a failure, he expects to be lauded as a 'responsible' leader without paying the price for his blunder. The roots of the strange immunity enjoyed by some of Israel's leaders can be traced to the security ethos that has developed in Israel, starting from the pre-State Palmach days. The new, pre-State Israelis attempted to develop a culture based on the future -- while negating the past. The Second Aliyah Jews who came to settle the Land of Israel expected their children -- the first generation of sabras -- to be free of any trace of the Jewishness that they associated with the European Diaspora. They practically worshipped the new generation. Every young kibbutznik who bravely attacked and defeated his enemy was proof that the experiment had worked. The Second Aliyah had successfully created a new strain of humanity -- formed on the ruins of the Jewish nation -- the New Israeli. Israel's security culture has created a failing and atrophied security establishment. The main reason for its colossal failure is its ethos. Capability is not relevant. The only thing that really matters is that the person in question serves the ethos. If you happen to be a brigade commander with sunglasses who seems to be in control of the situation, then you add substance to the theory of the New Israeli and all your failures will be forgiven. It makes no difference what you have actually done in the army. What really counts is what rank you have achieved and in which elite unit you have served. Being a kibbutznik has traditionally been a ticket into the elite Matkal commando unit. Fighters in the Matkal unit are card-carrying New Israelis who are revered by Israeli society. These are the people who naturally assume leadership of the country. It is o.k. if they fail time and again. It is fine for them to flee the battlefield and evade fire contact with the enemy, just like Yitzchak Rabin. And like Ehud Barak, they may disappear with an entire battalion during the Yom Kippur War, evade responsibility for the battle of Sultan Yaakob in the First Lebanon War, ignore the dying soldier Madhat Yousouf in Joseph's Tomb, abandon the soldiers of the Southern Lebanese Army, bring Hadera into range of the Hizbollah rockets and flee Tze'ilim -- and all will be forgiven. As long as they come from the right place, served in the right unit and perpetuate the right ethos. Even Winograd will not dare to ask who exactly it was that brought much of northern Israel into missile range or why it is that Israel had to (unsuccessfully) re-capture the Lebanese towns that it had fled. What does all of this have to do with Olmert's responsibility? The 'New Israeli" ethos is upheld by Israel's security ethos. The security ethos has created a distorted culture that measures people by the positions that they have achieved -- and not by their accomplishments. The person most responsible for bringing this warped culture from the defense establishment into the political field is Yitzchak Rabin. In an attempt to ram Oslo down the public's throat, Prime Minister ("I am responsible!") Rabin insisted on assuming the position of Defense Minister. From that position, he enlisted the security ethos to help him actualize the Oslo values collapse. At first, the army high command refused to give Rabin the backing that he needed to perpetrate his hallucinatory scheme. But the officer from the right family, the right kibbutz and the right commando unit was finally found. When he joined Israel's Oslo negotiating team, he propelled Israel's betrayal of the Land of Israel and Zionist values straight into the warm embrace of the security ethos. His name was Uzi Dayan. (Dayan is just an archetype. We have not forgotten Amnon Lipkin Shahak, Oren Shachor and others). Since then, Oslo has never stopped. It explodes in our faces time and again, but we don't understand how it is that nobody has taken responsibility. After all, we warned them! Even worse, those responsible for Oslo continually progress in the system. They become prime minister, president, media stars, respected academicians and fellows in all sorts of strange institutes for democracy and centers for peace. Responsibility is an impossible concept in the Kafka-esque reality that has evolved here. Just imagine what would happen if Olmert would tell the real truth: "I wanted to assure my place in the pantheon of the New Israelis. To do that, I had to get rid of Biblical Israel and the settlers who insist on living their vibrant, connected-to-history Judaism at the expense of the New Israeli myth. So I went to war to create momentum for the Convergence plan. But it turns out that the entire New Israeli theory has exploded in our faces. So I am taking responsibility and resigning." A statement like that from Olmert would signal the complete collapse of the hundred-years-old house of cards that the New Israelis have built here. It is not an option. So the entire Left and the media join forces to preserve Olmert. And the Winograd Committee follows suit, asking only how the debacle occurred -- never why. Now that everything is clear, Olmert can sink back into his padded chair -- and 'take responsibility.' |
 Please Folks The Winograd Report turned out to have simply been an official whitewash to keep this destructive Olmert government in power. In view of the fact that the Lord has obviously started bringing down these whitewashers of the whitewashed wall, viz. the vegetable-lization of Sharon, the resignation of his CoS Halutz, etc., I feel it's justified to try to help with the process. Will you please send this e-mail below to the various Olmert coalition partners. Let's help to bring Olmert down at this high point of his arrogance! Shabbat Shalom. Philip Ezekiel 13:14 I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the LORD. 15 So I will spend my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign LORD."

Just in time to accompany the Winograd Report!
Iran is threatening to nuke the Jews, the Pestilinians are on the rampage, anti-Semitism is booming all over the world, it is a drought year, the stock market is in trouble. But the Israeli government is right on top of things: The Israeli government has issued an official apology to the Beatles for canceling their concert trip back in 1965. The story does recall the Bolshevik micro-control that the Mapai socialists exercised arbitrarily back then. The Mapai geezers decided that Beatles music was harmful to the pioneering spirit of Israeli youth, unlike unemployment and bolshevik state planning of the economy. Speaking of Israeli Bolshevism, interesting to not who is opposed to it: Amnon Rubinstein! Meanwhile, now that the Beatles are the top item on Ehud Olmert's national agenda, my poetic juices go a-stirring. To the tune of Yellow Submarine comes: "We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine"!!! (Just in time to accompany the Winograd Report!) In the land where Jacob's born,
Lived a man who failed to see,
And he sold us down the creek,
with his brain of soya bean,
So he waved the banner white,
and appeased the terror spleen,
Jews to swim soon 'neath the waves,
All thanks to that Wolverine,
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine,
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine.
And our friends are all aboard,
While the jihad grows next door,
And the cabinet sits and plays.
(Trumpets play)
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine,
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine.
(Full speed ahead, Mr. Nasrallah, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Appeasement station! Appeasement station!
Aye, aye, sir!)
Olmert lives a life of ease,
Every one of us, condemned to bleed,
Sky of blue and sea of green,
He's a yellow wolverine.
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine,
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine.
(fading)
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine,
We are Ruled by a Yellow Wolverine,
Yellow Wolverine, Yellow Wolverine. |

A couple of days ago a few young people were arrested for pasting posters of Bush, Peres and Olmert wearing Kafiyas, in Jerusalem. Today, three others were arrested for distributing information about our 'moderate piece partner,' Fatah, to foreign journalists. (It should be remembered that moderate Fatah security forces were responsible for the murder to Achikam Amichai and David Rubin two weeks ago.) Israeli democracy at its best. This is, of course, nothing compared to the police brutality used against demonstrators against Oslo during the dark days of the Rabin-Peres regime. But fear not, the present opposition has just begun, and too, the rallying forces of those bent on quashing any and all opposition Olmert's follies. This is not the only example of Israeli despotism. In a week and a half the Supreme court is scheduled to again meet concerning Beit HaShalom in Hebron. The justice heading the supreme court panel of three judges is the court's president, Dorit Beinish. Beinish was reported to have met with the American ambassador to Israel a few weeks ago. The subject of their discussion: Judea and Samaria. This is a judge? This is a justice on the supreme court? This is the equivalent of the Chief justice of the supreme court? No, no, and no. Beinish is a politician, of the worst kind, who is utilizing her position on the high court of justice to espouse and implement her own political ideologies, without any hint of law or justice. However, the problem is not only on the Israeli side. Our prestigious visitor's country has it's problems too.
U.S. presidents are experts in involving themselves in Israeli political activity. George W's daddy can be held responsible for knocking Yitzhak Shamir out of office. George Sr. refused to allow Israel to hit back when we were being bombed by Saddam, during the first Gulf war. He realized that Shamir's 'inaction' wouldn't play well in Israel. He rewarded Shamir's patience by intentionally refusing to grant Israel (Shamir) necessary load guarantees, which played up by the media, led to Shamir's defeat and Rabin's victory in 1992. We are still eating the fruits of Shamir's defeat today.
During the 1996 election between Peres and Netanyahu, then President Clinton came to Israel for a special 'conference' during which he addressed the Israeli public, saying, 'you have to choose between peace and the alternative.' The American president was, for all intents and purposes, campaigning for Peres. So much for foreigners not getting involved in internal Israeli politics. And so it is today. It is quite customary that a foreign leader, when visiting Israel (or other countries for that matter), meet the premier, the president, the defense and foreign minister, and usually also the leader of the opposition. George W, however, refuses to meet opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu and hear his objections to the Annapolis process, which includes dividing Jerusalem, expulsion of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Jews from their homes, and creation of another terror state in the Middle East. Bush's short conversation with Shas leader Eli Yishai has already made headlines. Would Shas really pull out of the government as a result of negotiations ? "Meet the chairman of Shas," said Olmert to the American president, who shook Yishai's hand warmly. Bush had done his homework. Bush said he understood he needed to talk to Yishai the next day to convince him to stay in the government, and Olmert translated. Yishai smiled.
"We will definitely talk about it," Yishai said. [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/943324.html] I have no doubt that Bush will attempt to 'lean on' Yishai, and who knows, maybe even pay a surprise visit to Rav Ovadiah Yosef, who determines Shas policy. Yishai isn't the only politician in Bush's sights. Avigdor Lieberman can't be far behind. He is also threatening to walk out of the Olmert circus should 'core issues' Jerusalem, borders and refugees be discussed. And these are the exact topics Bush is pressuring Israel to negotiate away. Bush is pushing. He is determined to be the father of the state of Palestine prior to the conclusion of his presidency. Olmert is feeling the heat – lots of heat. He knows that in three weeks, with the release of Winograd, his position in Kadima and as prime minister is in jeopardy. The only way he can save himself is to prove that he, and only he, can be the savior of Israel, palestine and the piece process. This being the case, both will know no limits; whatever it takes to achieve the goal is legitimate. The ends justify the means. This is the farce called democracy. | |
Jerusalem police detained several activists and confiscated public relations materials Wednesday night. Police: "Booklet is 'seditious material.'" by Hana Levi Julian (IsraelNN.com) Three people were taken into custody and their literature confiscated as they were handing it out to foreign journalists outside the Dan Panorama Hotel in Jerusalem Wednesday night. The Dan Panorama is where most of the journalists who are covering the Bush visit are lodging. The literature in question is a booklet authored by Arlene Kushner entitled, "Fatah as 'Moderate': A Hard Look Post-Annapolis, published by the Center for Near East Policy Research at the Beit Agron International Press Center in Jerusalem. The booklet may be viewed in its entirety by clicking here. Israeli and foreign journalists at Bush welcoming ceremony
Flash 90 Plans to distribute the material to foreign journalists were put into place last week as a joint project of the Center and the National Council of Young Israel, a Jewish American organization with chapters in every state. "A number of activists with several organizations were working on assisting the Center to distribute this crucial information to the foreign media," said activist Suzy Dym. "One policeman said we can't stand in front of the hotel, that we should go to the corner, so that's what I did," related Jeff Daube, another volunteer at the site. "I was standing around, waiting to see if any reporters would come around, when a police officer tapped me on the shoulder, said 'Come with me,' and took my material and Israeli identity card. Daube said that he and his two companions were bundled into a police car and taken to the Russian Compound. Dym was arrested after pointing out that she could not be detained unless she gave her consent – which she would not do. Daube and the third volunteer were detained because they didn't realize the law was on their side. "If you don't consent, then they arrest you, or let you go," explained Dym. "I told them that I cannot agree to be detained because I need to talk to these foreign reporters, that that's what I came to Jerusalem for," she added. "Then you are arrested," responded the police officer, "for distributing seditious (treasonous) material." Dym said Police Superintendent Chaim Moshe told her if she didn't "come along quietly to be arrested" that they would use "considerable violence" against her. In less than two hours, however, all three were released, their personal belongings were returned -- minus the booklets -- and the charge against Dym was dropped. "They haven't really charged us yet, but they still could," she emphasized. "We like to hope that in a democracy that doesn't happen, but we know it does." The real concern, said Dym, is the lack of information reaching public figures in American Jewish organizations about Fatah's continued involvement with terrorism against Israel. "Our real hope is that public figures and organizations will take this very seriously," she said. "We pray we won't be abandoned by the American Jewish community on this issue."
