ACTION ALERT: Protest Condeleeza Rice's American Foreign Policy

bs"d
 
Protest Condeleeza Rice's granting freedom of movement to terrorists!  Only Am Yisroel in entitled to the Land of Israel! The Palestinians are terrorist trespassers and their intention to destroy the entire Israel is not even a secret.  Go to Palestinian Media Watch, Itamar Marcus for exact details. http://pmw.org.il/Latest%20bulletins%20new.htm
 
Call, write the President of the United States, Your Congressmen, Your Senators, Your Assemblymen and ask Condeleeza Rice to Bug off. 
 
Call established Major Jewish Organizations such as  Agudath Yisroel of America, OU, Young Israel and/or Chabad Headquarters, and ask them to use their Washington DC Liason and connections to protest Condeleeza Rice's efforts on behalf of the terrorists. How can we be SILENT while the lives of our brethren are hefker.  Are we waiting for another Mercaz Harav massacre? 
 
 

The relevant rabbis to contact r e s p e c t f u l l y  in this connection are:

Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky at the Yeshiva of Philadelphia 1-215-477-1000

and ask him to encourage the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation to mobilize the schools and shuls to protest the removal of the Roadblocks. This has put the lives of our brethren in Yesha in harms way.

 

Rav Perlow, Rosh Agudath Yisroel, leave messages at the Agudath Yisroel office.

WAITING FOR THE NEXT MAJOR TERROR ATTACK, THANKS TO RICE: THE STAGE IS SET: HEAVILY ARMED AND TRAINED TERRORISTS ON THE LOOSE, WHILE ROAD BLOCKS ARE REMOVED

Subject: WAITING FOR THE NEXT MAJOR TERROR ATTACK, THANKS TO RICE: THE STAGE IS SET: HEAVILY ARMED AND TRAINED TERRORISTS ON THE LOOSE, WHILE ROAD BLOCKS ARE REMOVED.

 

We know from bitter experience that we can expect the first murders within hours of taking down the roadblocks. What those screaming "Apartheid" at Israel, including Condoleezza Rice, do not know or do not admit or do not care about, is that before Oslo, when there were no territories controlled by "peace partners" like the "moderate" Fatah-dominated PLO, and the only force in Judea, Samaria and Gaza was the Israeli military, there were no roadblocks and no restrictions on "civilian" traffic and no roads where Arabs were not permitted to travel. If they truly want to improve the conditions of life of the "innocent Palestinian civilians" they should favor the return of exclusive Israeli rule. The "occupation" was the best government they have ever had.
 
 

50 Roadblocks, Better Security
23 Adar Bet 5768, 30 March 08 08:17by
(IsraelNN.com) Israel will give up 50 roadblocks and the Palestinian Authority promises better security in return, according to US officials traveling with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The deal was revealed in a statement released after a trilateral meeting between Rice, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on Sunday in Jerusalem.
"This is a program that will improve the daily lives of Palestinians and help make Israel secure," said the statement, which did not specify which roadblocks would be removed. The PA will increase security forces in Jenin; Barak already said last week he agreed to the deployment of 600 Jordanian-trained officers there.
 
 

PA's Only Commitment is to 'Work to Prevent Terror'
23 Adar Bet 5768, 30 March 08 08:20by
(IsraelNN.com) The agreements reached in talks between U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and PA "Prime Minister" Salam Fayyad include a series of concessions by Israel and only one commitment by the PA. "For its part, the Palestinian Authority will deploy security forces to provide law and order, and work to prevent terror," the statement issued by the American delegation said.
The statement went on to say that "both sides are committed to success of the Bethlehem investment conference and special arrangements will be made so that international visitors may attend." In addition, "the parties have completed connection of 27 Palestinian villages in [Judea and Samaria] to the Israeli power grid and, in an unprecedented action, have connected Jericho to the Jordan power grid."
Among other gestures, Israel "offered to expand significantly opportunities for Palestinian workers and businessmen to travel to Israel from [Judea and Samaria."

Subject: ACTION ALERT!!! Security Guards who defend Jews are treated as the criminals.


bs"d

Dear List, amv"sh

The Police and the Justice System are punishing trained security personnel for doing their job and protecting the lives of their fellow Jews.   There have been too many instances where soldier and security guards that respond in self defense are imprisoned for doing their job or asserting their right to defend themselves.  This is a terrible situation where the police, the judicial system and the government of Israel actually persecute and criminalize those that defend themselves or others.   THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!.  This does not only occur in the settlements.  The government of Israel has simply abandoned their obligation to defend their citizens and then persecute those that have taken up the slack.  They have abandoned their citizens of Sderot and arm their enemy with weapons.  They don't even want Sderot to have fortified bunkers.  They want to give away Yesha thereby putting all of Israel in Danger.  When Jews defend themselves they put them in jail.

These 2 boys is a symptom of a much bigger diseases.  It is imperative that we use all of our international clout to raise awareness of the government of  Israel's persecution of those that defend the people of Israel, and the dismal failure  of the government of Israel to defend and protect their loyal citizens thereby betraying their public trust.  This evil government chooses instead to empower the enemy with supplying them with weapons,

ACTIONS ALERT

4) IN ISRAEL
 In addition to pressuring in the States, we must pressure the authorities in Israel too.The only  way the Halamish brothers can get out of going to  jail is by having the President of Israel pardon them. A demand for a pardon has been filed by the family with the President and with the Department of Pardons at the Justice Ministry. The more faxes and phonecalls they will receive from the friends of Israel in Israel and abroad, outraged by this injustice, the more chance we have to save Itzik and Danny from prison.

Brigette Gabriel was interviewed on Dov Hikind radio tonight.  American Congress for Truth (ACT) was founded in October 2003 by Brigitte Gabriel.
Ms. Gabriel, a Lebanese immigrant, came to the United States after losing her country of birth to militant Muslim fundamentalists during the Lebanese Civil War.

Now an American citizen, Gabriel founded ACT to give Americans their voice
back.

She says that Israel must fight back!!!  She understands the Arab threat!  She is very powerful but we shouldn't need someone else to tell us what is the obviously the right thing to do.

IsraelNN.com) IDF combat unit veterans Danny and Yitzchak Halamish are set to begin 7-8 month prison terms next month - unless President Peres accepts their request for a pardon.

They have been convicted of attacking Arabs who infiltrated the fields of their town - but they claim they did not shoot at all, and that the Arabs attacked them.

On April 10 two brothers are scheduled to begin serving prison
sentences for a crime they never committed. Yitzhak and Daniel
Halamish were convicted of aggravated assault and were sentenced
respectively, to seven and eight months in jail.

The two men, who live in Ma'aleh Rehavam south of Bethlehem, were
arrested on February 22, 2004. The day before their arrest, the
brothers were serving as IDF-trained and armed security guards in
their community. They were called by Baruch Feldbaum, the head of
security at the neighboring Sde Bar community, to assist him in
dispersing an illegal gathering of Beduin in land adjacent to Sde Bar....

Brigette Gabriel was interviewed on Dov Hikind radio tonight.  American Congress for Truth (ACT) was founded in October 2003 by Brigitte Gabriel.
Ms. Gabriel, a Lebanese immigrant, came to the United States after losing her country of birth to militant Muslim fundamentalists during the Lebanese Civil War.

Now an American citizen, Gabriel founded ACT to give Americans their voice
back.

She says that Israel must fight back!!!  She understands the Arab threat!  She is very powerful but we shouldn't need someone else to tell us what is the obviously the right thing to do.

IsraelNN.com) IDF combat unit veterans Danny and Yitzchak Halamish are set to begin 7-8 month prison terms next month - unless President Peres accepts their request for a pardon.

They have been convicted of attacking Arabs who infiltrated the fields of their town - but they claim they did not shoot at all, and that the Arabs attacked them.

Column One: Israel's accountability problem
Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST
March 28, 2008

http://www.carolineglick.com/e/2008/03/israels_accountability_problem.asp

On April 10 two brothers are scheduled to begin serving prison
sentences for a crime they never committed. Yitzhak and Daniel
Halamish were convicted of aggravated assault and were sentenced
respectively, to seven and eight months in jail.

The two men, who live in Ma'aleh Rehavam south of Bethlehem, were
arrested on February 22, 2004. The day before their arrest, the
brothers were serving as IDF-trained and armed security guards in
their community. They were called by Baruch Feldbaum, the head of
security at the neighboring Sde Bar community, to assist him in
dispersing an illegal gathering of Beduin in land adjacent to Sde Bar....

ACTION ALERT: Pidyon Shvuyim Itzik and Danny Halamish

bs"d


Dear fellow activists, amv"sh

B"h we were successful with Tzvia Sariel.  The settlers are being targeted and dealt with unfairly.  We must protest their right to self defense.  The following was sent to me by Women in Green and Datya Ithaki of Pidyon Shvuyim who are working on behalf of the Halamish brothers.  Please do what you can to see that this injustice of imprisoning innocent settlers when they are forced to defend themselves is not actualized. This injustice goes beyond these two boys.  It will empower the Arabs to more acts of violence knowing that their victims will be persecuted if they respond in kind.


Ruth and Nadia Matar writes:

Dear Friends,

 

As we told you after Tsviya Sariel's release from almost 4 months in prison, the next case we must deal with and act is the case of the two brothers Itzik and Danny Halamish.

Danny and Itzik are supposed to go to jail on April 10th (in less than two weeks) for a period of 8 months. Their "crime"- defending themselves against Arab attackers.

 

As has lately become the norm in our anti-Jewish Israeli Injustice system, the judges decided to believe  the version of the Arab attackers rather than Itzik and Danny's version. Below you will find more details about the case, written by Pidionshvuim, a group of lovers of Israel who are active in an effort to help Jews persecuted by the Israeli judiciary because of their loyalty to the land of Israel.

 

Many Women in Green leaders and members know Itzik and Danny personally for many years. Two Israel loving Zionist pioneers, sons of parents who founded the community of Ofrah, they are the salt of the earth. Itzik, 28, is single. He is a carpenter. Danny, 37, is a computer programmer. He is married to Limor, and is the father of Naama, two and a half years old and Yirel, half a year old.

 

The very thought that those two youngsters would go to jail instead of the Arabs who attacked them, is simply unbearable.

 

We urge all of you to read the letter below and act by faxing and calling the different people mentioned at the end of this email.

 

With love of Israel,

Pidion Shvuim Alert: No. 5

Two Jewish Brothers Sent to Prison for Protecting Jewish Community

Danny and Yitzhak Halamish are two quiet young men who under any other circumstances would be regarded as the pride of the Jewish people. They both served in top Israeli combat units, and when they finished the military they fought for Jews under threat of expulsion from the Gaza Strip. They also founded the community of Maalei Rehavam in the Judean Desert.

Today, the brothers await the start of their jail sentence. They are convicted of aggravated assault by a corrupt police force and a lackadaisical judge. Their appeals of innocence have been rejected by the judiciary.

Are the Halamishes guilty of a crime? Absolutely not. Indeed, the only crime committed was by an army that abandoned the two brothers and an Israeli court system that convicted them without evidence. But the brothers are lovers of Zion and builders of Jewish life in Judea and Samaria. And that makes them dangerous to the government of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who pressured by Washington plans to destroy Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and parts of Jerusalem over the next year.

The Halamishes, as part of their reserve military service, were members of a security response team organized, equipped and trained by the Israeli Army to help protect their community and surrounding region from Arab attack. On Feb. 21, 2004, the brothers were summoned by another security officer, Baruch Feldbaum, to help expel Arab Bedouins who trespassed into the Jewish community of Sdei Bar and were encamped near a student dormitory. Arab Bedouin tribes in the area had been deemed responsible for the killing of several Jews in the area in previous years.

Under the direction of Feldbaum, the Halamish brothers ordered the Arab squatters to leave. The Arabs refused, and about 20 of them approached the Jewish security officers with sticks and rocks. Feldbaum shot toward the ground when the Bedouins continued to move closer.

The response team later said that they shot in self-defense. An army medic who arrived at the scene determined that nobody was struck by the gunfire, an assertion disputed by the Arabs.

At that point, the military abandoned its own security team and allowed a police investigation. Feldbaum was sentenced to nine months in prison, but later was pardoned by President Moshe Katsav.

The Halamishes weren't as lucky. Although police refused to conduct ballistic tests or even a lineup of suspects, the brothers were convicted of shooting toward the Bedouins. Danny was sentenced to seven months in prison; Yitzhak, to eight months. An Israeli appeals court said ballistic tests or a lineup were not necessary. The word of the Arab Bedouins -- who refused to show up to police headquarters to identify their purported assailants -- was enough.
The court also rejected a recommendation by the probation officer for community service. The three-judge panel said it wanted the Halamish brothers to go to jail to serve as a lesson to others.

Unless we act, the Halamish brothers will be sent to jail on April 10 and their tiny community of Maalei Rehavam will be seriously harmed. As we see it, the Halamishes have been abandoned by the army and railroaded by the police and the judiciary.

Therefore, we urge you to act as you did so valiantly for Tzvia Sariel.

 

For US Citizens:

Call, rather than e-mail, the Israel Embassy in Washington [telephone 202-364-5500] and demand to speak to the military attaché.

 

Tell him or his aide that you are outraged by the abdication of military responsibility of its own soldiers, who will go to jail because they helped protect Jews. Say that as an American citizen who contributes to the $2.4 billion of U.S. military aid to Israel, you demand the immediate release of the Halamish brothers. Say that you also plan to discuss this case with your member of Congress.

The Olmert government, with an approval rating of near zero, has refused to admit any accountability to the Israeli people, and respects and fears only the Bush Administration. Unless we act now, there will be many more young Jews in jail. If you agree with this, please act quickly. What could be more important than saving the lives of our fellow Jews?

With Love of Israel,


Datya Itzhaki

Hashomer Hayisraeli Hahadash - Our World - The New Guardians of Israel by Caroline Glick, The Jerusalem Post, Jewish Pride renewed

bs"d

Thank you Women in Green for sending. 


Our World: The new Guardians of Israel
Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST
March 25, 2008

Moshav Tzipori, in the Lower Galilee, is a microcosm of the history of the Land of Israel. A regional capital under King Herod, Tzipori was the seat of Jewish learning and the preservation of the Torah through some of the most tumultuous periods of Jewish history.

After the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, refugees from Jerusalem fled to the Galilean town. Rabbi Yehuda Hanassi, who presided over the writing of the Mishna, or oral law, moved to Tzipori from Beit Shearim, and it was there that he codified the six books of the Mishna and died.

The Jews of Tzipori revolted against the Roman Emperor Constantine, refusing to accept Christianity and the city was destroyed. The Jews later returned during the Islamic period. On and off, for the next millennia, Jews settled, were forcibly removed and resettled the city several times under various conquerors of Israel.

During the 1948 War of Independence, the ancient city was the site of a major battle between the new Israel Defense Force and the neighboring Arab villages assisted by invading forces from Syria and Lebanon. The Arabs were routed. In 1949, Moshav Tzipori was founded.

LAST FRIDAY afternoon, the struggle for Jewish control of Tzipori, the Galilee and the Land of Israel as a whole continued on the ancient ground. On that quiet afternoon of Purim, under the blistering sun, three horses stood happily grazing in a field of shrubs and grasses. The only problem with the otherwise pastoral scene was that the horses belong to Arab squatters from the Kablawi clan. In recent years, the Kablawis have built themselves an illegal village of some 20 houses masquerading as storage containers on stolen Jewish National Fund land adjacent to Tzipori's fields. The horses, who entered through a hole cut into the field's fence, pranced about and ate, destroying the field that was painstakingly cultivated for the moshav's cattle herds.

The farmers and ranchers of the Galilee, like their counterparts in the Negev are at wits' end. Fearing Arab riots or political condemnation by the Israeli Left, Arab leaders, the Islamic Movement and their allies abroad, the police and the state prosecutors have simply stopped enforcing the laws against the Galilee and Negev Arabs. Surrounded by increasingly hostile and lawless Arab and Beduin villages, local Jews' livestock and crops are continuously plundered.

They are faced with three equally unacceptable options for contending with this state of affairs. They can do nothing and let their livelihood and lives' work be destroyed. They can pay protection money to Arab criminal gangs, who in exchange agree not to rob them. Or they can try to sell off their lands and abandon agriculture altogether.

The obvious recourse - filing a complaint with the police - is an exercise in futility. Thousands of complaints are filed each year. Almost none of them end in indictments or trials. Most of the files are closed by the police due to "lack of public interest."

ON FRIDAY, the field in question belonged to a cattle rancher named Haim Z. Over the past few years, Haim has filed more than 250 complaints against local Arabs from the Kablawi family and from neighboring Arab villages like the Islamist stronghold Mashad with the police. None have ever gone anywhere. Last year, a helpful police officer recommended that Haim simply start paying protection money.

Last year Haim told his son that he had had it. The son of the moshav's founding generation, Haim said that he just couldn't go on anymore. The state's refusal to protect Jewish property rights had forced him to devote all of his energies to playing cat and mouse games with Arab poachers. He couldn't invest in his herd. He couldn't develop his land. All he could do was sit by and watch as year in and year out, his lands were plundered, his cattle stolen and the work of his life and his father's life was destroyed.

HIS SON, a 23 year old soldier in one of the IDF's elite commando units decided that it was up to him not only to save his father's farm, but to stem the tide of Arab infringement on Jewish land and property rights. Due to his position in the IDF, his name is classified. We'll call him J - for Jew.

In response to his father's desperation, J. took a storage container to a hilltop that overlooks Tzipori's fields, the surrounding Arab villages and the access routes to the moshav's fields. He placed a sofa, a bookshelf full of Jewish history books, religious texts and philosophy classics, and canned food inside and moved in during his furloughs from the army. Rather than hang out with his friends, he began standing guard. He confronted every Arab he caught infiltrating the moshav's fields, and both filed complaints with the police and chased them away.

Given his impossible schedule, J. enlisted his friends to help out. The sons of other desperate farmers, who also serve in combat units, they joined him enthusiastically. Within months, J. had set up an organization of more than a hundred young volunteers - soldiers, college students, and high school students from his moshav, other moshavim in the lower Galilee and surrounding non-agricultural communities.

He called the organization, Hashomer Hayisraeli Hahadash - or the New Israeli Guardsmen. The original Hashomer, or Guardsmen was established in the Galilee in 1909 for the same purpose - protecting Jewish farming communities from Arab marauders who demanded protection money from the farmers. It was the progenitor of the Haganah, which in turn, became the Israel Defense Force.

As J. puts it, "We're not simply a security service. We see ourselves as a new movement. Our activities rest on three foundations: securing the land, expanding our operations throughout the Galilee and the Negev, and teaching Zionist and Jewish values to our members, our communities and the general public."

TZIPORI, ONE of the stops of the Cross Israel Hiking Trail, is a popular destination for school groups, youth groups and just regular hikers. J. has organized visits to his guard post for thousands of hikers over the past year. During their visits the hikers listen to lectures about the New Guardsmen, about the Jewish history of the Galilee and the development of agriculture in the area, and topics of general interest provided by local residents, politicians and professors.

Friday afternoon, after noticing another encroachment on his father's field, J. called the police at the Nazareth police station. Joined by two of his fellow guardsmen, who are also sons of farmers and soldiers in commando units, they waited in the sun for over an hour for the police to arrive and planned their moves. They approached the horses with reins and bits.

"We will seize the horses and bring them back to our stable. If the Kablawis pay the damages, then I'll give them back, if not, I'll sell them," J. explained.

As the young men approached the horses, Yasser Kablawi, the head of the clan appeared. According to Haim, over the past year, the Kablawis have trampled his fields with their animals on more than 20 occasions.

Haim, who arrived at the scene some 10 minutes before the police made their grand appearance turned toward Kablawi and said, "Why are you doing this?"

"This land belongs to the JNF, not to you," Kablawi said.

"Why are you lying? I sat in your home with the JNF inspector months ago, and he told you straight that this is my land. You know you are stealing from me, and you're doing it while you're illegally squatting on JNF land. You've caused me tens of thousands of shekels in damages by trampling my fields today alone, and you know it."

By the time the police arrived, J. and his friends had roped one of the horses. Kablawi was joined by three grandsons and four sons. J. was joined by another seven Guardsmen. It was a standoff.

THE POLICE, who were informed of the presence of a journalist at the scene, acted with some resolution. After speaking with the JNF inspector, they explained to Kablawi that he could either sign a statement acknowledging that the land belongs to Haim and that he would be arrested if he trespassed again, or they would allow Haim to seize his horses. Kablawi signed.

J.'s activism is not just a personal quest to save his father from economic ruin. "If it were just about me and my family, my brother and I could take care of the thieves. They'd leave us alone. But then they'd just move on to our neighbors. It isn't about one family. This is a question of control over the land of Israel. The state is weak. We need to be strong if we want to remain here."

Last month, J. registered the Guardsman as a non-profit organization. He has a grand vision for the future.

"In the space of just a few months, I have brought in thousands of people, exposed them to our mission. I have more than a 100 volunteer guards. We have reduced theft by 80 percent.

"I want to raise money to buy night vision goggles and some all terrain vehicles to do proper patrols. I'd like to be able to give students scholarships so that they can guard and study at the same time. I've been in touch with farmers and ranchers in the Negev and they are anxious for us to expand to the south. I believe that within five years, the Guardsmen can end the protection rackets."

BACK IN June 2005, then vice premier Ehud Olmert gave an American audience his opinion of the Israeli people. "We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies," he whined.

Young people like J. and his colleagues, secular, yet deeply rooted Jewish sons and daughters of Galilee and Negev farmers, like their religious friends prove everyday that Olmert was not speaking for his countrymen. Whatever messes Olmert and his colleagues in the government still manage to make before they are finally thrown from office, it is absolutely clear that these young people and millions like them are willing and able to clean them up for themselves, their countrymen, and for the next generation of Jews in the land of Israel.

Rav Lior's call to Rabbanim

 bs"d
 
Thank you Avi Conway for forwarding. 
 Rabbi Lior calls for Rabbonim to forbid participation in any further evacuations of settlements. * The "leaders" are stupid because they eat non-kosher food *The Halachic ruling will be publicized in next weeks' copy of "Ertez Yisroel Shelanu"

Rabbi Dov Lior, Rav of Chevron and Kiryat Arba,has issued a Halachic ruling forbidding the hiring of, and renting of homes to Arabs anywhere in Israel. In an interview with Rabbi Lior in this weeks' "Eretz Yisroel Shelanu" newsletter, he states: "Being that we are dealing with a very obvious life threatening issue, as is clarified in the Halacha, it is absolutely forbidden to rent homes to Arabs, and forbidden to employ them. This pertains not only to yeshivos but includes hotels, factories, etc. This is particularly imperative in the light of the halachic injunction that "the poor of your city precede the poor of other cities".
Rabbi Lior offers an explanation for the irrational behavior of our political leaders: as our Rabbis state-the ingesting of non-kosher food causes befuddled thinking. We are under the rule of the Erev Rav. Being so close to the Geulah, we are witnessing a re-run of the sin of the spies who wished to reject Eretz Yisroel.
Rabbi Lior justifies not allowing PM Ehud Olmert to pay a condolence visit to Yeshivas Merkaz HaRav. "How can one host someone who acts in defiance to our holy Torah and continues to endanger the Jewish nation? Is it possible to honor such a person? Until this very moment he has not expressed one iota of remorse for all he done, and he is planning more of the same. Meanwhile they are unable to carry out their plot, but they strive towards it. Therefore it was proper not to have him visit at the yeshiva."
Rabbi Lior also commented on the halachic ruling that one may shoot into a populated area and possibly harm innocent bystanders. "There is no Jewish law that states that we must take 'innocent bystanders' into consideration during a war. We act out of defense, and therefore there is no problem. Obviously if we must stop the terrorist shootings, we are allowed to strike at innocent bystanders, if there is no other alternative."
Rabbi Lior attacked those Rabbis that didn't listen to the ruling of Rabbi Avraham Shapiro that one must not take part in the disengagement. If they would have followed the ruling of Rabbi Shapira and (yibodel l'chaim) Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, and ruled that one must refuse to participate in the disengagement, it is possible that the disengagement would not have happened. Unfortunately, so called "Rabbonim" ruled otherwise, and we are paying the steep price for this to this very day. "Those who take the advice of the Elders do not stumble".

Blood Libel March 2008 in Novosibirsk, Russia.

nk

Thank you rosewalk@concentric.net for sending.  And there are those that still believe that Silence will stop antisemitism.

Russian blood libel: Jews use children's blood for matzot

Hundreds of anti-Semitic pamphlets distributed in Novosibirsk,
Russia, warning residents of supposed Jewish practice of kidnapping
children to use their blood for Passover matza

Yael Branovsky Published: 03.19.08, 20:34 / Israel Jewish Scene

Hundred of anti-Semitic announcements warning Russian parents to
beware of the supposed Jewish practice of using children's blood to
prepare Passover matza were put up around the city of Novosibirsk,
Russia in southwest Siberia on Wednesday.

"Beware Russian parents. Keep watch over your children before the
coming of April 2008, the Jewish holiday of Passover. These
disgusting people still engage in ritual practice to their gods. They
kidnap small children and remove some of their blood and use it to
prepare their holy food (matza). They throw the bodies (of the
children) out in garbage dumps," the announcements read.

"Esther", a resident of Novosibirsk, told Ynet: "I saw the
announcement, however I won't be afraid of going to synagogue during
Passover. In my house, we will have matzot.

"Anti-Semitism exists in the city and it never disappears. You can
walk around in the streets and see derogatory sayings scrawled on the
walls of houses; 'Jews go home' and such. The announcement simply
disgusted me.

"These anti-Semites merely want to divert the attention of the city's
residents away from the problems that exist in the area and blame the
Jews for everything. I personally am not afraid because my children
are in Israel."

Approximately 13,000 Jews live in the Novosibirsk area, with most
living in the city itself.

Since the beginning of this year, Russia has experienced dozens of
anti-Semitic acts – including violent attacks on Jews, derogatory
graffiti and the vandalism of Jewish cemeteries.

Anti-Semitism on rise

Recently, the US government published its yearly report that stated
that anti-Semitism, which promotes hatred towards Jews under the
guise of criticism against the State of Israel, has increased in the
last 10 years.

The report claimed that the Belarus government openly disseminates
anti-Semitic material. It also said that government-controlled media
outlets in Saudi Arabia and Egypt broadcast anti-Semitic programs.

Additional acts of anti-Semitism were recorded in Poland, Russia,
Ukraine, France, Germany, the UK, Argentina, Australia, Canada and
South Africa.

"Contemporary anti-Semitism appears openly and in disguised forms in
place where there are Jewish communities just like in places where
there are few Jewish people. Violent anti-Semitic crimes are carried
out – beginning with from terrorism carried out against Jews to
desecrating and destroying Jewish property such as synagogues and
cemeteries," the report stated.

Amos Hermon, the Jewish Agency official in charge of the fight
against anti-Semitism, told Ynet following the incident in
Novosibirsk that "this is an appalling and extraordinary incident. I
really hope that we're not going back to the period at the beginning
of the previous century in which Jews were blamed and put on trial
for killing children.

"We hope and we are sure that the Russian government will find those
who distributed (the announcement) and work to stamp out the
