Never Again is Now, Powerful Youtube video from Buddy Macy and Stan Zir

bs"d

Dear Activist List, amv"sh

We all know Buddy Macy.  We know about his caring and his sincerity.  We know that above all he is a kind and refined person who does not promote violence and bloodshed. He is vegetarian and  promotes healthy living lifestyles. 

 What drives him to produce this Youtube which calls for the destruction of the nuclear capabilities in Iran? What inner strength drives him to produce this gory picture of a pending Holocaust unless we act!

It is precisely his hatred of death and violence that is driving him to raise awareness.  Buddy wishes  us to wake up and respond to the real nuclear threat facing us.  As Rav Amnon Yitzchok said. "i am not hear to scare you.  I wish merely to inform you...."

Stan Zir, a Holocaust survivor's personal life experience speaks for itself.  He does not want history to repeat itself.

As a daughter and daughter-in-law of Holocaust Survivors , I believe with my heart and soul that Never Again is Now unless we are Chozer Beteshuva, return to G-d  and take the Torah to heart and proclaim Hashem's promise to Abraham "Lezaracha Etein Es Haaretz Hazos", To your seed i will give this Land.  Please sign the petition

Subject: Video: Holocaust Survivor Says "NO" to Iran Nukes/Two-State
To: faigerayzel@gmail.com



Israelites - Stop the politicians from playing Russian roulette with Israel's life!

 


The vultures of death are circling Israel. There is a nuclear inferno burning in Israel's backyard that is threatening to engulf the entire nation of Israel in flames, and a proposed two-state FINAL "Solution" that will lead to the destruction of the Jewish State from within.

 

Visit www.NeverAgainIsNow.com, and watch and listen as a Holocaust survivor explains what must be done to rescue Israel, America and the World. Then, please read and sign the Jewish People's Declaration of Independence. The signatures will be presented to Congress and the White House during the week of November 9, 2009, the anniversary of Kristallnacht, in remembrance of those who perished in the Holocaust. We, the living, have a moral obligation to speak out for Jews in peril.

 

Please share this email with your entire list and discuss its contents at your synagogue or church, school, work…everywhere. Help us make this the Number 1 video on YouTube; for, we must let the world know that "Never Again" is not just a hollow phrase, and that the Jewish People will never again go silently into the night.

H1N1 Vaccinations in Israel against Swine Flu can be dangerous! Public be aware

--------------------
Subject: About the upcoming mass H1N1 vaccinations in Israel:

To all, please share this information with as many people as you can, and try to influence the Department of Health so they stop the madness. A great crime is about to be perpetrated on Am Yisrael, on our doctors, our soldiers probably, etc., and on many others. Let them be SHAMED INTO STOPPING THIS.Thank you.

From ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES:

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
The reasons why you should NOT take the H1N1 influenza virus vaccine - in Israel, in Europe, or also in the US.


October 27, 2009

"Since the beginning of the week, about 250,000 doses of vaccine produced by the Swiss Novartis pharmaceutical company have arrived in Israel. An additional 100,000 vaccine doses with the additive, which are manufactured by Novartis and by the British firm GlaxoSmithKline, are expected to arrive by the end of the month.

A nationwide vaccination program against swine flu will begin in Israel within two weeks. Health care workers and chronically ill patients older than 3 will be the first to get vaccinated."

"An estimated 80,000 women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, along with chronically ill children between 6 months old and 3 years old, will be offered a swine flu vaccine in November that does not contain the additive. That vaccine is manufactured by the French drug company Sanofi Pasteur."

       ( Haaretz)



"250,000 doses arrived on Monday and the Health Ministry will hold a press conference next week to detail its distribution."

"September 25, 2009

Novartis announced today that Focetria®, the Novartis Influenza A(H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine, has received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMEA).The positive opinion clears the way for European Union approval in all 27 Member States as well as in Iceland and Norway. Today's announcement marks a significant milestone in bringing a pandemic vaccine to market in Europe."


Slight problem: a large part of the budget of the EMEA comes from BIG PHARMA! Clear conflict of interest here.

http://www.facebook.com/l/9a0b7;www.dialogosuifarmaci.it/documents/ConsultTransparency_PressReleaseFINAL.pdf



A study funded by Novartis, published in Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, claims, "antisqualene antibodies are not increased by immunization with vaccines with the MF59 adjuvant. These data extend the safety profile of the MF59 emulsion adjuvant."

However, there is a significant body of scientific evidence that squalene was responsible for the autoimmune diseases, afflicting about 25 per cent of the veterans of Iraq with the Gulf War Syndrome, as well as causing thousands of deaths, and a US federal judge prohibited the use of these adjuvants in 2004.


B"H

To all,

As you can see from the above, the campaign to vaccinate the Israeli population against the H1N1 virus is in high gear. That is why it is very urgent to EDUCATE THE POPULATION, and WARN THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL IN THE STRONGEST TERMS THAT THIS VACCINE SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO THE JEWISH POPULATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Why should people NOT take the H1N1 influenza vaccine?

Let us clarify some issues.

In general, there are two categories of H1N1 vaccines: the vaccine WITH ADJUVANT - ADJUVANTED -, and the vaccine WITHOUT adjuvant - UNADJUVANTED.

The adjuvant, whether MF 59 in Novartis vaccines, or AS03-AS04 in Glaxo-Smith Kline vaccines, is a very dangerous substance, squalene, which has been shown to cause severe disease in lab animals, and has been implicated in causing the GULF WAR SYNDROME in US soldiers in 1991, killing at least 30,000 US soldiers and incapacitating many, many more for life.

Since 2004, SQUALENE IN VACCINES HAS BEEN BANNED IN THE US, and the H1N1 vaccine currently being distributed in the US does NOT contain squalene. To be noted, however, is that the US has purchased a huge quantity of adjuvant from Novartis, and under the EMERGENCY ACT, which has been declared last week, is theoretically authorized to USE that adjuvant. So it is only a matter of time before the US finds an excuse to use it as well.

In addition to squalene, there are numerous other toxic agents in influenza vaccines in general, which have caused many severe reactions, including deaths. The most notorious toxic compound in the H1N1 vaccine is THIMEROSAL ( mercury), which is to be found in MULTIDOSE VIALS. Sanofi's vaccine does NOT contain thimerosal. There is plenty of REAL evidence to show the causal relationship between thimerosal and autism and other neurological disorders, despite the denials by many physicians, who don't realize that the studies they quote are seriously flawed and biased.

So influenza vaccines altogether are a big question mark, specially considering the many additives and contamination in them. Whether to take vaccines at all in the first place is a question that each person should answer individually; I still think that at the very least, one should evaluate the evidence before deciding. But this is a separate topic.

To return to the H1N1 influenza vaccines:

The big deception being perpetrated on the public is that the STUDIES the vaccine approvals by the FDA, the EMEA, and others, have been based on, were conducted, not with the H1N1 influenza vaccines themselves, but with the TRIVALENT, SEASONAL VACCINE! All companies state that in their insert. So EVEN with the vaccines that DON'T contain squalene, serious question marks remain.

But the most deadly of all the ingredients is the adjuvant. ALL VACCINES CURRENTLY BEING USED IN ISRAEL CONTAIN THE ADJUVANT.


I just spoke with Kupat Cholim Meuchedet: apparently it will be MANDATORY FOR THE MEDICAL STAFF TO TAKE THOSE IMMUNIZATIONS. In some other countries, the policemen, firemen, and SOLDIERS are being forced to be immunized as well.

GIVING THIS ADJUVANT TO OUR SOLDIERS WOULD COMPLETELY WEAKEN THE IDF; we only have to take the Gulf War Syndrome as an example. It would be CRIMINAL AND SUICIDAL TO INJECT OUR SOLDIERS WITH THIS VACCINE. IT IS AS GOOD AS DISMANTLING OUR ARMY, WITH TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL OF US.

Reports are coming in from Sweden that the medical staff, who was also advised to take the adjuvanted vaccine ( from Glaxo), became seriously ill. Hundreds of nurses became very sick, in a way that no vaccine ever caused them to be. Four deaths have already been reported from this vaccine.

Also to be noted is that Novartis's H5N1 influenza vaccine Aflunov was recently responsible for 21 deaths: in a study of 350 people conducted on homeless people in Poland, 21 died!

There is another aspect to the story: BAXTER.

 I really hope that Israel does not deal with Baxter; but still, of all countries, ISRAEL SHOULD KNOW THAT H1N1 VACCINES ARE A DEADLY BIOWEAPON. One of Israel's scientists, Moshe Bar Yosef, was involved in a serious incident in Los Angeles a couple of months ago. Apparently, according to reliable witnesses, he was about to be a WHISTLE BLOWER, AND REVEAL THAT THE H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE PRODUCED BY BAXTER BIOPHARMA IN THE UKRAINE, WHERE HE HAD BEEN EMPLOYED, IS IN FACT A BIOWEAPON. THE DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS ARE SQUALENE, THE VERY SQUALENE CONTAINED IN NOVARTIS'S VACCINE, AS WELL AS RNA OF THE REAL , LIVE VIRUS, WHICH WAS DELIBERATELY DESIGNED TO MULTIPLY IN PEOPLE'S BODIES ONCE INJECTED. Moshe was arrested in a dramatic move by the US government and apparently deported to Israel. So Israel KNOWS THE STORY - if the reports are correct - ; HOW CAN THEY THEREFORE DECIDE TO TAKE A CHANCE AND GIVE H1N1 VACCINE WITH SQUALENE TO THE ISRAELI POPULATION???

IN FACT, BAXTER WAS CAUGHT RED-HANDED VIOLATING SECURITY REGULATIONS IN AUSTRIA AND SENDING 72 KILOS OF LIVE H5N1 VACCINE TO 16 LABS IN 4 COUNTRIES. LUCKILY IT WAS DISCOVERED JUST ON TIME AND STOPPED. THEY ALSO RELEASED LIVE VIRUS VACCINE ON A TRAIN IN SWITZERLAND. THE INTENT WAS CLEAR, AS SUCH A SECURITY BREACH COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT.

   * TO BE NOTED ALSO IS THAT THE CEO OF BAXTER, ROBERT PARKINSON, IS AN OPEN JESUIT, ON THE BOARD OF JESUIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE JESUITS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR POISONING PEOPLE THROUGHOUT HISTORY; ACTUALLY, THE "CUP OF BORGIA" WAS THEIR FAVORITE METHOD OF ASSASSINATION OF POPES: POISON!

   * TO BE NOTED IS THAT THE VIRUS IS PRODUCED BY THE W.H.O., WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.

   * W.H.O., BAXTER AND NOVARTIS ARE DIRECTLY IMPLICATED.

   * To be noted, also, is that the THE GERMAN ARMY- 250,000 soldiers -,  will receive the UNADJUVANTED VACCINE.

***


   * REMEMBER THAT THE W.H.O. IS THE U.N., AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE U.N. WANTS FOR ISRAEL.

   * REMEMBER THE SMALLPOX BLANKETS USED AGAINST THE AMERICAN INDIANS CENTURIES AGO TO DECIMATE THEM.

   * REMEMBER THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR AND POISON GAS.

   * REMEMBER HOW RAV YECHEZKEL LANDAU, THE NODA BIYEHUDA IN BRODY, HAD TO FORBID BREAD ONE LAST DAY OF PESSACH BECAUSE OF A PLOT TO POISON THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY.



****


   * WE DON'T DRINK NON-KOSHER WINE;

   * WE ONLY EAT PAS YISROEL;

   * BUT WE WILL ACCEPT  DEADLY VACCINATIONS FROM OUR ENEMY THE U.N.??

   * WHERE IS THE YIDDISCHE SEICHEL ??

To:


Great Matriarch remembered over 3600 years for her good deeds. Great Cause. Great Speakers. Great Program. Great food. Great guests. Great dreams. Tell your friends who are in NYCity area. We have guests coming from Suffolk, Nassau,  Conn to MD and Pa. Post to all lists, in your shuls. Twin with Kever and Rachel Imeinu Yahrzeit from NY . Just your passing on the word is perpetuating Ima Rachel's message for aliyah for Bnei Rachel and Klal Yisrael.
 
 
Press Release: Rachel's Children Reclamation Foundation's 15th Commemoration of the Yahrzeit of Rachel Imeinu will be held Thursday evening, October 29 at the Manhattan Beach Jewish Center.

 It won't be an ordinary dinner. It is much more than the glatt kosher food catered by New Star Caterers at the Manhattan Beach Jewish Center on 60 West End Avenue, Brooklyn NY, that will make this another most meaningful event. 2009 was a very significant year for RCRF. It was so fulfilling to celebrate Tu BShvat at Beit Bnei Rachel. Although our pomegranate and fig trees are inside the house within the walls, they are growing. The number of people coming to our events and to Kever Rachel are increasing. This 5770 Yahrzeit will see the tens of thousands again. The 11the anniversary of the Sefer Torah on Rosh Chodesh Tammuz began with Beit Orot Yeshiva boys laining, sharing breakfast with guests and a shiur on why Rachel Imeinu merits to bring the Geula.  Rebbitzen Tsippora Heller, Rabbi Yosef Klausner, Rabbi Ephraim Sprecher, Rabbi Yaakov Gurwitz were some of our inspirational speakers.  Rabbi Leff's Rosh Chodesh Elul shiur was filled with exceptional ruach by being in Beit Bnei Rachel. The spirit of this time surpassing message is at  http://www.rabbileff.net/shiurim/special/index.htm.

         RCRF 60 West End Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11235, 718-648-2610 is over active in Israel and the US. Working overtime to reclaim our roots, Jewish identity and connect with the "good ideology",  RCRF has initiated a very timely program with a memorable theme, "Derech Eretz in the Merit of Rachel Imeinu". Although many are hinting at this necessary subject, this will be the theme of weekly classes at Beit Bnei Rachel, the RCRF majority owned Jewish property within the walled Rachel Tomb Complex because Rachel Imeinu's virtues are an example for us all especially in these trying times. She sacrificed herself for the future of Israel and is remembered over 3600 years as Mother Israel and is a role model for the whole civilized world.

          Besides visiting the injured in the Gaza War, RCRF has also begun a Newsletter: The Rachel Tear, which can be viewed at theracheltear.blogspot.com.

         The Keynote Address at our dinner will be by Rabbi Raymond Beyda, a well known speaker and author of "1 Minute With Yourself". He will be introduced by Rabbi Yaakov Farhi of Torah Israel Sephardic Congregation of Manhattan Beach. Rabbi Moshe Snow who was a guest speaker in our Beit Bnei Rachel on Derech Chaya Rachel will explain "A Monumental Task". The Community Chessed Award will be presented to Mozelle Sammell by Gail Friedlin. The Community Activist Award will be presented to Myrna Zisman by Arlene Fox. Malky Grunwald, a new student at SKA who had the first Bas Mitzvah at Beit Rnei Rachel on Rosh Chodesh Elul 5757 will also address the audience about the meaning of Bas Mitzvahs at Kever Rachel . Please rush your ads and donations as this is our major fundraiser that supports Torah readings, weekly shiurim and the development of a Museum of Jewish Aliyah, a Beit Midrash, a Simcha Center and a Biblical Garden with a replica of ancient Kever Rachel as a chuppah. As we learned about being strong on Tisha B'Av, we were taught that Tu B'Av overcomes. What simcha when the weddings of our Bas Mitzvah girls are celebrated under the chuppah dedicated in the RCRF Biblical Garden.  Remember it was RCRF since 1995 and we petitioned for the Egged buses, initiated the shiurim, dedicated two Torahs, conduct classes and work so hard to fulfill the Rachel Prophecy, V Shavu Banim L'Gvulum. Remember, A visit to Israel without going to Kever Rachel is like going home and not visiting your mother." Evelyn Haies

The Rise of Nuclear Iran - Scary - Rav Amnon Yitzchok might have the only answer

bs"d

Dear Doris and my Fellow Activists, amv"sh

I just want to share with you some of the material I have been listening to in Brooklyn, NY. Of course, please check it out yourself since I admit to being human and please don't hold me accountable if there are mistakes in the repeat of what Rav Amnon said). Please go to the source yourself.  I myself just went on their website and found a wealth of video material.

I've been listening to Rav Amnon Yitzchok on radio10.com 95.1 fm in Borough Park Brooklyn, NY when I am in my car and his tapes are programmed   many hours during the day.

 Rav AmnonYitzchok, founder of the Shofar Organization 001-972-3-677-7779 shofar.net   (videos with English subtitles http://www.shofar.net/site/ProductsList.asp?id=864&Category=3)  says that it is written in the prophets (i believe he quotes Yechezkell, possibly the Zohar) that at the end of days (B'Acharit Hayamim) the Ishmaelites will take over Israel for 9 months, the whole world will come to fight over Jerusalem and finally the world will recognize the G-d of Israel.  He said 9 months compared to the 9 months of pregnancy before the birth of a new baby.   He says that the present situation with the Arabs is a result of not keeping our part of the Covenant with G-d.  He says that doctors, the army (Tzahal) would be unnecessary if we would keep the Commandments as we should since G-d would heal and protect. us, fight for us as He promises in the Torah.  Rav Amnon doesn't want to scare us but rather inform us.  I Believe he was referring to the present Tzahal which is lax in enforcing  the laws necessary to keep the soldiers in a holy frame of mind which is a prereq for victory)

Regarding the end of Days I believe that he says that that  it is written that 2/3 of the world will be destroyed. He said that in Eastern Europe 60% assimilated and there was a Holocaust.  He says that now  in America there is 90% assimilation rate.... 

He said that Enemies of Israel from the past will reincarnate and this period in time will be G-d's justice to them.  He says that Yishmael will have the zechut of taking over Israel for 9 months because of the fact that they did a Brit Milah at the late age of 13. 

Rav Amnono Yitzchok speaks in Hebrew primarily and personally I am amazed at the way he quotes pesukim, phrases literally from the Tanach on the spot, as he answers questions from the audiences.  He is sharp, funny,  entertaining, compassionate, clearly loves and is loved by his fellow Jew and  is making me into a Baalas Teshuva as well even though I was ffb (frum from birth).  As he explained, each and every Jew can/should be a Baal Teshuva..

He blesses individuals in the audience for health, prosperity,  children, marriage, fear of G-d etc in exchange for commitments to wearing head coverings, wearing Tzitzit, observance of commandments in the Torah daily commitments  to Torah study a certain allotted  time etc. .  In addition many people  in the audience who hear a request for blessings for a child or blessings for a complete recovery from a serious illness, take upon themselves additional commitments n Torah observance or Torah Study in order to help the blessing come into fruition for a particular individual..

He speaks of the necessity of unity of the Jewish people and how each straw alone can be easily broken but a bundle of straw can not be easily roken.

His unfaltering faith in G-d and G-d's ability to heal, protect and save the Jewish People is  for real.  He is bringing this nation to the level of faith in the desert.  There is no one we can depend on except G-d.  G-d is all powerful.  He can heal, He can protect - G-d wants nothing else but to bring good to His people and good to the world.  Simple faith of  a little child.  His powerful songs, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Anachnu Ohavim Otcha (The Holy One, Blessed be He, We Love You!) Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Anachnu Mamlichim Otcha (The Holy One, Blessed BeHe , we makeYou our King), Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Anachnu Hayeladim Shelcha (The Holy One , Blessed Be He, we are Your children)  has brought hundreds of thousands of Israeli's to become Baalei Teshuva and if he has had such an impact on myself and others, I am sure that when people in America  hear him as well, it  causes an inner revolutions within many individuals.  Because what he says makes a lot of sense.  He is extremely logical for those that speak reason.  He is extremely knowledgeable and he addresses about every topic under the sun  when asked.  So many times I have said to myself, "that makes so much sense, how come I never heard or thought  of it  before".

It's worth inviting him to California and anywhere else.  Jewish schools and synagogues should have his tapes and videos all the time for free periods and easy access.   Many are subtitled into English as well as other languages.  I wonder if it is utubed so that our children can watch this instead of the last 20 years of sitcoms.   The internet is taking over the minds and hearts of our children. Kids spend hours upon hours watching baseball, football, basketball, tennis, that it takes over their lives not to mention utube and disney and whatever else is out there.  Let's not forget the secular library that has a large variety of enticing books and dvd's.

Many children and adults have forgotten or are sometimes clueless about  how to rake the leaves, paint the house, hangi;up fixtures, make furniture, sew clothes, install gas and electric, grow plants,fruits and vegetables, help  cook, clean, set the table etc. even learn computer skills.  They are too busy with other activities like being online, watching sports, playing poker, watching movies, entertaining utube and learn what they need to know to advance their entertainment etc.

As long as Moshiach still hasn't come the above skills are still useful and necessary things to know.  Once Moshiach comes, Rav Amnon says, we then revert to the Status of being in the Garden of Eden where all our physical needs are taken care of.  But in this point in time it's premature and we still need to uplift the material world with our efforts.

 Interpersonal communication skills are being modeled for us from the internet from TV shows of the past  and movies etc and the models are less than ideal. 


Working on our Middot are fantastic topics of  Rav Amnon Yitchok as well.

If we really want Never Again, Listening to Rav Amnon Yitzchok is an important first step. He might have the only answer.

Welcomes

Ambassador Dore Gold

Monday, November 2, 2009 - 7 p.m.
Skirball Cultural Center
2701 North Sepulveda Blvd. ●
Los Angeles


One of Israel's greatest living foreign policy experts, Ambassador Dore Gold will be speaking about his new book The Rise of Nuclear Iran: How Tehran Defies the West and about the threats posed by a resurgent Iran arming itself with weapons of mass destruction.

Gold has served as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations and has been direct envoy to the leaders of almost a dozen Arab states. In The Rise of Nuclear Iran he brings his unique experience and knowledge to bear on the diplomatic and military dimensions of Iran's drive for nuclear weapons. Sounding the alarm about the nuclear threat has earned Gold vociferous attacks from America's liberal foreign policy community, which seeks to avoid a confrontation with Iran at all costs. He will be speaking about all that and more, before taking questions from the audience.

The Rise of Nuclear Iran systematically lays out the elements of Iran's weaponization program: highly enriched nuclear material, long-range ballistic missiles, and nuclear-capable warheads. The revelation of the Qom enrichment facility and Iran's subsequent missile tests have confirmed all of Gold's warnings, making his book required reading for anyone who seeks to understand Tehran's current and future plans.

Now Ambassador Gold will lay out a bleak case against the West's "sticks and carrots" engagement policy and highlight the consequences of its likely failure: a "nuclear umbrella" for global terrorists, a Middle East dominated by Shiite hegemony, a Western hemisphere subject to Iranian threats, and a ever-present genocidal shadow over the Jewish State.

Shame on General Shamni for expelling Jews from Yitzhar before beginning as IDF envoy to Washington

bs"d

For a background on Shamni and his  past as someone who goes far beyond his orders
and makes an effort to persecute the Jews of Yesha in order to please the Left:

SHAME ON GENERAL SHAMNI
 
Three beautiful Jewish families from the Jewish community of Yitzhar (the Manhigut Yehudit Jewish Leadership group just visited there last week) have been told that their breadwinner fathers have to leave their homes and jobs for six months for the crime of living and working in Israel.
 
Akiva Hacohen, Ariel Gruner and Eliav Eliyahu have been given five days to leave their homes.
 
This order to expel these Jews is the only criminal act and was signed by IDF Central District Commander Maj-Gen. Gadi Shamni who is scheduled to begin as IDF envoy to Washington beginning next week.
 
Isn't it enough of a black mark on the IDF that 8000 Jews were expelled from their homes in Gush Katif? There is almost no one right or left who doesn't see now the terrible consequences of expelling Jews from their rightful homes.  
 
Those who support the current leadership in Israel and give money or bonds should make their voices heard and look towards real Jewish leadership in Israel. Moshe Feiglin, head of the Jewish Leadership faction of Likud and increasingly Israeli's choice for future P.M. will never allow Jews to be expelled from their homes.  
 
For those who believe that P.M. Netanyahu has changed his spots, remember that this expulsion order is happening right under the nose of P.M. Netanyahu. His eloquence in words apparently have no correlation with his deeds.

Fwd: AFSI'S LETTER TO ISRAELI MINISTERS AND THE ISRAELI EMBASSY RE: 3 MEN EXPELLED FROM YITZHAR

bs"d

What a fantastic letter from Helen Freedman of Afsi a real Jewish Heroine in her own right! 

Dear Activist List,

Please note that I sent  this letter to Jewish newspapers in USA and CC'd to Israeli Ministers. Perhaps if they get multiple  letters they will get the message that people are not happy with lack of due process in the Israeli "democracy".

Gentlemen,

          We are appalled to learn that AKIVA HACOHEN, ARIEL GRUNER and ELIAV ELIYAHU, all residents of Yitzhar, have been given orders, signed by Maj-Gen Gadi Shamni, expelling them from their homes for a minimum of six months. Each young man has a wife, children, or is expecting a child, and earns his living working in the community.

          Shockingly, there were no specific charges to the expulsion orders and the only explanation given was that the men "are a danger for the public order." Is this the thought police in action? What danger is expected? Why are these young men singled out for what is thought their intentions might be? Doesn't this sound more like it is happening in Orwell's 1984 than in democratic Israel? Where are the instruments of justice?

          In addition to these intolerable expulsion orders is the fact that during the period of forced expulsion there are no provisions made to compensate the expellees for the cost of an apartment, the move which must take place in a few days time, and for the loss of their income from employment. How cruel and inhumane can a government order be? Even prisoners are given more consideration. This is outrageous.

          As Americans who are very aware and concerned about events in Israel, and who spend a great deal of time and energy working to ensure a safe Israel, we plead with those in charge to cancel the expulsion orders against Akiva, Ariel and Eliav.  

          Please contact us at afsi@rcn.com or 212-828-2424 to inform us of positive action in this urgent matter.

Thank you

Helen Freedman

Subject: HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR FELLOW JEW
To: Izzy Kaplan <israelkaplan@yahoo.com>


Israeli gov't denial of due process to jews


Read the following news stories about the Israeli gov't  wisking away Jews from their families in Samaria, without indictments and without trial.

Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria do not yet have civil liberties and human rights since these areas have not been annexed by Israel.

The gov't acts as if Israel's basic law, which protects civil liberties and human rights, simply does not apply beyond the green line.

Such a precendent was established in August 2005, with the Israeli government demolition of all of Katif and four communities in the Shomron.

Orders in this regard are issued by the office of the Prime Minister.

Orders in this regard are carried out by the Defense Minister.

If you object to the orders of the PM to expel Jews from their homes, without trial, express your feedback to the PM cabinet sec'y, Atty. Zvi Hauser, 02-6705532 (dir.)02-5632580 (fax)or e-mail
memshala@it.pmo.gov.il

The Israeli gov't is particularly sensitive about bad feedback from outside of the country. That is why the lobbyists for foreign workers are working the international media to stop their expulsions.

Get friends and relatives to send in letters to the PM office and to local consulates and embassies abroad to protest the Israeli gov't denial of due process to Israeli citizens.

The Israeli government assumes that you will act with passivity and turn the other cheek.

You have a choice.

1. Make sure that the Prime Minister of Israel hears strong feedback or wait until it is your turn to have your human rights and civil liberties abused.

2. Go into denial and live a normal life.

ISRAELI MILITARY EXPELS THREE JEWS FROM WEST BANK HOMES
Israeljustice.com
Date added: 10/12/2009
www.israeljustice.com/news2.asp?key=173

  JERUSALEM -- Israel's military has served administrative expulsion orders to three Jewish residents of the West Bank community of Yitzhar.
    Israeli Army Central District Commander Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni signed administrative orders to evict three Jews from their homes in the northern
Samarian community of Yitzhar and to distance them from Judea and Samaria for six months.
    The three, Akiva HaCohen, 25, Ariel Groner, 24 and Eliav Eliyahu, 19, haven't been charged with any crime.
    Army officials said the administrative orders were issued after "information was received of their involvement in violent and illegal activity and in light of the genuine danger foreseen from them to security and the public order.
    "This is not connected to the olive harvest," HaCohen said. "They [the police] said this is connected to confrontations between Jews and Arabs and the eviction from and destruction of outposts."
    HaCohen, a father of four together with his wife, Ayelet Hashachar, who is in her ninth month, said that he had not yet decided how he was going to respond to the order.
    HaCohen said he drove to the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva on the morning of October 11 to purchase building materials. As he got out of his car to pay the parking, he was surrounded by four police officers who served
him the administrative expulsion order. Another eight police officers remained in the police vehicles.
    The order allows three days for HaCohen to appeal and one week to leave his home for six months or face imprisonment.
    "This is anti-democratic and is discrimination against Jews," HaCohen said. "What about the left-wing and the Arabs?"      HaCohen and Groner, also a father of four with a newborn, are not newcomers to this scenario. HaCohen was expelled from his home in Yitzhar in October 2006 for over three months after sitting in jail for attempting to
enter the now destroyed Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip in August 2005.
    In August 2007, Groner was jailed for two months for breaking an administrative expulsion order from Yitzhar and was then ordered to live under house arrest in a mobile home in the scorching Beit Shean valley without air conditioning for three months. He was then forbidden from
returning to Judea and Samaria for another three months.
    In previous years, security forces said they served the
administrative orders during the Palestinian olive harvest to prevent confrontations between Jews and Arabs but by October, the harvest is almost complete.
    "It's not connected to the olives," Daniella Weiss, one of the leaders of the Land of Israel Faithful Movement said. "It's connected to the eviction of outposts and to [Defense Minister Ehud Barak] who wants to destroy them."
    The Land of Israel Faithful Movement issued a statement criticizing the government for its use of undemocratic tools and for failing to tell HaCohen, Groner or Eliyahu why they were expelled from their homes.
    "We sharply and unambiguously condemn these expulsion orders," the statement said. "We demand that the Government of Israel, a nationalist government, immediately stop the erroneous use of these undemocratic tools that are reminiscent of dark periods in our history."

ISRAELI STATE PROSECUTION RELENTLESS IN PURSUING JEWISH DISSIDENTS
Israeljustice.com
Date added: 10/14/2009
 
  JERUSALEM -- An Israeli court reversed a decision to release a Jewish dissident after the state prosecution petitioned to appeal the release in a higher court. 
    On October 14, Jerusalem Magistrate Ram Vinograd ordered Elhanan Groner distanced from the home of Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan until the end of judicial proceedings against him. Immediately, the state prosecution requested an order delaying the judge's decision and asked that Groner remain in custody pending an appeal to the Jerusalem District Court
    Several hours later, the state prosecution rushed through an indictment for offending a civil servant, punishable by six months in prison. The law, introduced by the British Mandate before the founding of the Jewish state, was reintroduced prior to the government's destruction of the Gush Katif block in Gaza in August 2005. Nitzan, who was instrumental in devising and implementing special guidelines to prosecute opponents of the government's policy in 2005, including minors who were first-time offenders, has relentlessly appealed all acquittals of anti-government protesters. 
    Groner, 19, is the younger brother of Ariel Groner who, on October 11, was served an administrative expulsion order from his home in the Jewish community in Yitzhar in northern Samaria and from the West Bank for six months. Groner is charged with insulting Nitzan on the evening of October 13. Groner, who is married and lives in Yitzhar, was visiting his parents who are neighbors of Nitzan in a Jerusalem neighborhood. He allegedly went to the state prosecutor's home and told him he should be ashamed of himself for the latest administrative expulsion orders. Groner is also charged with telling Nitzan's childen, aged eight and 11 that they should be ashamed of their father. Groner has denied the charges. 
    Groner was immediately arrested and investigated by police in Nitzan's home. He was then taken to Jerusalem's Russian Compound jail where he remains in custody despite the magistrate's decision to release him. 
    "This was a good decision for them [the state prosecution]," Shmuel Meidad, head of the Honenu Legal Aid Organization, said. "But they want him held until the end of judicial proceedings. They also arrested his wife and she is being investigated." 
    Groner, then 18, was distanced from Judea and Samaria in November 2008 for three months on the eve of the army's eviction of Jews from the peace house in Hebron also by an administrative expulsion order signed by Israeli Army Central District Commander Maj.-Gen.. Gadi Shamni. Meidad said that the three young men, Ariel Groner, Akiva HaCohen and Eliav Eliahu, who just received administrative expulsion orders from Judea and Samaria for six months have not yet decided how they will respond. Non-compliance with the order results in imprisonment.

Which Story is more News Worthy? Jewish Press JTA article about Iran or Women In Green article about Harassment of Jewish Settlers?

bs"d

Why doesn't the Jewish Press put INN on the front page?

Which news is more newsworthy?

The fact that Europe and the  US are showing 'Unified Stance on Iran" - This weeks Front page news of Jewish Press (JTA) Friday October 16, 2009

or ...

that the government of Israel is expelling 3 innocent Jewish men with families from Yitzhar from their homes with no charges and without compensation for loss of livelihood....another clear example of settler harassment.

(Let's analyze...Tachlis, what real difference will it make  to know that in tone, America and Europe show a unified stance regarding Iran, especially when we read that these world powers are frustrated that they have been unable to stop nuclear proliferation in Iran,  and that there is strong skepticism in Europe that strong sanctions on Iran are not effective  and there is fear that sanctions will create security problems word wide.  In my opinion, this JTA article does nothing except create anxiety on the part of the reader.  After all there is not much a typical reader can do about nuclear weapons buildup in a country that espouses Terror.  What point is this knowledge when it merely serves to make us nervous.

On the other hand, reporting about 3 religious family men who for no apparent reason except perhaps political are being expelled from their homes serves to raise awareness that will hopefully stop a miscarriage of justice.

Please read the kind of story that usually does not get  prominence in the Jewish press.  Giving it the prominence it deserves is responsible reporting and also a Mitzva not to stand by idly when evil is happening when we are witness to it.

You got a few days to pack and leave your house!!

By Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover

 

Imagine the following scene:

You are a building contractor on your way to work. You have been asked to deliver some building material to a client. You park your car, and out of the blue, 10 to 12 detectives and policemen run towards you, surround you and hand you a piece of paper telling you: "This is an expulsion order. You are being expelled from your home and community and area for the next 6 months. You got  5 days to pack. If we find you in your home after that, you will be arrested and jailed". Not sure yet whether this is true or just a bad joke, you ask the police: "But why? What did I do? What are the charges?".

 The police answers: "No comment. That's the way it is."

 

Sounds like a scene from Kafka? Well, this is what happened this past Sunday to Akiva Hacohen, 25 year old resident of Yitzhar, building contractor, when he delivered some building material to a client.

 

On Sunday October 11 Akiva was given orders expelling him from his home and  from Judea and Samaria for 6 months at least. Akiva is married to Ayelet and they have 3 children. Ayelet is pregnant with number four please G-d.. Two other residents of Yitzhar were given similar expulsion orders. Ariel Gruner, 27 year old, married and father of 3 children and  Eliav Eliyahu, 20 year old, recently married and they are expecting their first child.

 

Like in previous times when this has happened, here too it is IDF Central District Commander Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni, known for his animosity towards Land of Israel lovers, who has signed the expulsion orders. For the entire story you can click on the link to the Arutz 7 report about it at the end of this article.

 

As usual, there were no specific charges to the expulsion orders.

 

 During the period of forced expulsion the government does not provide the expellees with any compensation or help to find alternative arrangements. The expellees have to find and pay for a place to live, and employment. At the present time, Akiva is working as a contractor building homes in the area of Yitzhar, where they live, and grinding wheat and selling the flour. This will no longer be possible. Likewise for Ariel and Eliav who will also lose their job.

 

Women in Green call upon all of us, friends of Israel in Israel and abroad, to express our outrage at this persecution of these wonderful Jews, lovers of the Land of Israel. The more noise we make about this, the more the authorities will reconsider and think twice about ever doing this again. See below for WHAT WE CAN DO.

 

The official, ridiculous, explanation given is that those Jewish fathers " are a danger for the public order". Our message is: If Akiva, Ariel and Eliav have violated the law, why aren't they charged and brought into court? Why are the reasons for their expulsion secret? The answer is clear: Because those expulsion orders have nothing to do with law and order. In fact they are a violation of basic norms of all enlightened democratic systems when one is only accused with due process. We know those great Jewish men. The only so-called "crime" they can be accused of is that they are proud Jews and loyal to the land of Israel. The expulsion orders are political tools meant to demoralize the national camp ; who knows, maybe before what might soon come G-d forbid, a new wave of destruction of outposts and communities. We protest this and demand that the expulsion orders against  Akiva Hacohen, Ariel Gruner and Eliav Eliyahu  be cancelled immediately.The more noise we make about this, the more the authorities will reconsider not only the expulsion decrees, but any other decrees they might be planning for the next few weeks.

 

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

1) Maj-Gen Gadi Shamni, who signed the expulsion orders and is known for his animosity to the national camp,  is leaving Israel next week to become the IDF's military attaché in Washington. If he thinks he could sign those expulsion orders and then go to Washington where nobody will remind him of the shameful expulsion orders, he should reconsider. Women in Green call upon all Washington friends of Israel to find out where exactly Gadi Shamni will be located  and organize lawful vigils in front of his home and work with a clear message: Shame on you for expelling Akiva, Ariel and Eliav. Cancel the expulsion orders and let these 3 Jewish fathers go back home!

Vigils like these are very effective and important.

 

2) For those living abroad: Please contact the Israeli Embassy or consulate  in your country to protest these expulsion orders

For the link to the Israel Embassy and consulate Directory: http://www.science.co.il/embassy.asp

Let Israeli embassies in Holland, France, belgium, Australia, Canada etc...receive emails, calls and faxes in support of Akiva, Ariel and Eliav.

 

 

 Same for  US Citizens: please contact the Israeli embassy in Washington, Ambassador Michael Oren, and your local Israeli consul  

        Israeli embassy in Washington:      Tel: 202-364-5500               Deputy Chief of Mission: Mr. Dan Arbell Fax: (202) 364-5560

Defense and Armed Forces Attaché  Major General Benjamin Gantz  Tel: (202) 364-5403   Fax: (202) 364-5503

link to all other departments in the Embassy in Washington: http://www.israelemb.org/about_us.html

 

3) Obviously we must also contact the Israeli politicians. Emails are ok but phonecalls and  faxes are better.

For all contact info (telephone and fax) for Israeli ministers please click on:

http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMOEng/Government/Offices/

Emails of Israeli ministers (thank you to Suzy Dym):

sar@moch.gov.il ; roeil@moin.gov.il ; minister@most.gov.il ; ministerts@most.gov.il ; sar@tourism.gov.il ; sar@mfa.gov.il ; sar@mof.gov.il ; sar@mops.gov.il ; yedelstein@knesset.gov.il ; gerdan@knesset.gov.il ; bbegin@knesset.gov.il ; myaalon@knesset.gov.il ; mcachlon@knesset.gov.il ; yiskatz@knesset.gov.il ; llivnat@knesset.gov.il ; gsaar@knesset.gov.il ; ypeled@knesset.gov.il ; ysteinitz@knesset.gov.il ; sshalom@knesset.gov.il ; iaharon@knesset.gov.il ; aliberman@knesset.gov.il ; ulandau@knesset.gov.il ; slandver@knesset.gov.il ; smiseznikov@knesset.gov.il ; dhershkovitz@knesset.gov.il ; mnahari@knesset.gov.il ; aatias@knesset.gov.il ; eyishay@knesset.gov.il ; ymargi@knesset.gov.il ; yakovm@dat.gov.il ; sar@sviva.gov.il ; sar@moc.gov.il ; sar@moia.gov.il ; sar@environment.gov.il ; sar@mni.gov.il ; zelkin@knesset.gov.il

 

Please ask others to join this effort, especially prominent community leaders and rabbis.

 

4) Lastly, the families to be expelledfrom Yitzhar need apartments for 6 months.

 If anyone can help, or knows of someone who has an empty apartment,

 please let them know: Akiva: 054 765 7556, Ayelet: 054 638 2106,Zangy (Honenu): 052 566 5975

 

The police have given Akiva, Ariel and Eliav a few days to comply, after which time they will be arrested, so time is of the essence.

The families have hired lawyers, but so far they have not been able to stop the proceedings. 

 

As the famous quote goes: "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing "

We are doing! For Jerusalem's sake we will not be silent!

 

With love for Israel,
