Dear Uriell Heilman of JTA,

Thank you for your response about how you stand by your reporting.

Mr. Heilman, Reporters pick and choose their stories. 

10,000 peoples lives were uprooted, their homes destroyed, synagogues, playgrounds, cultural centers in Gush Katif were bulldozed. Today as we speak their pain is still raw.  The wound is festering.  Beit Hashalom is merely another inflicted pain on this festering wound.

 A Nazi State that glorifies martyrs iis being slated to take the place of settlers in Judea and Samaria, who love the Land and their communities, the same kind who grew bug free lettuce, tomatoes etc.  and flowers in Gush Katif. 

The Mufti of Jerusalem was a partner with Hitler and he is the founding ideological  father of Fatah. 

Maybe you should visit Yad Veshem or review the pictures of Palestinians massacring the 3 soldiers. Why don't you report on the rapes and dismemberment of body parts in the massacre of 1929 to the Jewish Community of Hebron when they did nothing to provoke the Arabs and rather befriended them?  Compare their violence to the Jewish Violence.  Compare the hate speeches of their Leaders prior to the Massacre in Hebron  and the speeches of hte Jewish Leaders in Hebron while Beit Hashalom was in the process of being dismantled and the families expelled.

Why is your reporting so one sided?  I stand by my charge that  some of the news from JTA  is Treif reporting and that all authentic Jewish News Sources should choose their Jewish News from sources that reflect our Torah and our Biblical Heritage.

Why are you so blind to see the whole picture. What will  it take to wake you up?  Will the only way you  can relate to the settlers is if  someone comes to  destroy your home, chas vechalila, and you will find yourself forced to swallow your emotions, restrain your feelings so that others will report (or not report on your good behavior) and your ability not to be violent in the face of their "legal rights" to your home. 

Of course we would never want you to experience the Arab Violence as did the Jews in the 1929 Massacre. 

Arabs have a history of lying for PR and public sympathy.  They  have a history of blood libels and using Jewish compassion as their weapon.  They have a history of barbarity and cruelty. Just go on the PMW website (Itamar Marcus,) and report in JTA what they are saying iin Fatah news and teaching in Fatah schools.  Let your readers know after whom do they name their schools?

 I would strongly suspect any reports about acid throwing Jewish settlers.  I have lived and been n the Nationalist  circles and I can attest that the teachers in these circles do not encourage acid throwing against ARabs.  Never, in the many lectures and shiurim have I heard this being preached. Rabbi's do emphasize the Bible which  clearly teaches that the Land of Israel is G-ds gift to the Jewish people and that we in turn are obligated to keep the commandments in the Torah.  Jews also have the obligation to defend our Land and Protect our lives.

I suppose you wish to pick and choose which commandments in your opinion is "civilized" and which is not.  Perhaps, a certain number of the commandments you might find distasteful.

My guess is that  you have serious issues with some commandments of the Torah and since it is not political correct to admit that you have issues with what is written in the Torah since it might offend too many religious Jews who subscribe to your news, so you conveniently target the "fringe right wing fanatics, extremists,etc." and portray  them as extreme fanatics who hate Arabs.

Sincerely, Robin Ticker

From Mattot Arim:

Whose Fault is it that We All Hate Settlers?
Hatred -- of any group -- does not drop out of the sky like rain. It is cultivated. Let's ask the JTA (the news agency which supplies most American Jewish newspapers) not to cultivate hate and not to falsely accuse settlers of criminal deeds.
 
Dear Jewish Telegraph Agency, Your website  http://jta.org/about  states that the JTA strives to be "the definitive, trusted global source of ...current events". But this past year you printed a series of 3 one-sidedly negative articles against settlers which does not fit this description.
 
I am told that Mattot Arim www.mattotarim.organ Israeli grassroots organization, has approached you several times regarding the most distasteful "fact" presented in your series:  "[R]adical settlers ...have ...thrown acid at Israeli soldiers" http://jta.org/news/article/2009/06/24/1005829/behind-the-headlines-radical-jewish-settlers. I understand that Mattot Arim told you they have carefully looked into this matter with the Hebron spokesperson, the Shomron Council spokesperson, Women in Green founder Nadia Matar, Gush Katif spokesperson and others and all believe that this allegation is not factual.
 
I also understand that you (the JTA) have claimed that an un-named Israel Police spokesperson made this allegation to you and you merely reported it. Could you, the JTA, possibly confirm this to me by return email. This will allow the un-named spokesperson's behavior to be raised in the Israeli Knesset or cabinet by Mattot Arim. Could you also write to the Israel Police, inform them that the information they gave you has been challenged and ask them to corroborate their allegation by providing the JTA in writing some elementary details regarding their allegation (copy of the chemical analysis performed if any, who (names, dates) purportedly witnessed these events, were any soldiers purportedly injured and if so where are the medical reports, etc.).
 
Or, since it's Yom Kippur season -- the traditional apology season -- could you simply publish a correction and apology indicating that no facts are available to support this allegation so it is hereby retracted until further notice! I look forward to hearing from you, sincerely, Robin Ticker

 

Dear Jewish Print Media,

You are Jewish aren't you?... and some of you are even Orthodox and Chareidi....

Why  bring your news from treif sources even if they call themselves Jewish?  Can't you syndicate from the following Kosher sources regarding Settlements in Judea and Samaria? A Palestinian State has its ideological partner with Nazi Germany.  Settlement in Judea and Samaria has its ideological roots in the Torah.  Why isn't your news waking up the Jewish People that the Land of Israel is our entitlement based on our Jewish Heritage?  Front Page Coverage of Women in Green and Matot Arim will tell the authentic Jewish news. Netanyahus handshake with Abbas is newsworthy but so is the fact that he is willing to negotiate away Land that does not belong to him making this agreement as well as Oslo null and void based on Biblical entitlement. Freezing Jewish Settlement in Judea and Samaria  and removing outposts indicates weakness in our ideological religious and historical conviction and claim to our Land. (The Land belongs to G-d and He chooses to whom he will give it.  First Rashi of Breishit). Yasher Koach to 5TJewish Times for their news coverage....

GOOD and Kosher NEWS SOURCES

Women In Green  Unbelievable!

Mattot Arim  Unbelievable!

Please send your own letter to the above media and let them know that you'd appreciate front page non skewed, objective media coverage that reflects the position of the settlers and Torah
