"The War of 2011" by Caroline Glick, Here is the missing component. Comments by Robin

bs"d

Dear Caroline, amv"sh

You know I love all that you do.  Let's make it simple.  The Key is G-d and the Torah. 

 If it is as you say, the  reason we claim the Land of Israel is simply  because our enemies deligitimize us and wish to annihilate us...

does that really Legitimize our Claim to Our Land?

If  for example someone has a bicycle and threatens to kill me if I insist it's my bicycle and show how much I really need the bicycle and the wonderful things I do with the bicycle, does that make the bicycle mine?   But if I can show that indeed that bicycle belongs to me then, he is terrorizing and bullying me into giving it up. If I can't show that the bicycle belongs to me, then people will just tell me to shut up so that he won't kill me.

And, if as you  so convincingly show that  Latin America, South America Europe  the Obama Administration the UN and various NGO's are supporting FATAH and Hamas directly or indirectly with money, militarily training or politically,  not to mention Iran and Saudi Arabia and the Arab countries who are collectively funding Hamas and Taliban in the billions and all are  engaging in political and/or military warfare against Israel,   who will help Israel  fight our battles if not the Creator of the World? 

Let us acknowledge His presence in all of this by speaking about the Covenant between G-d and our Forefathers and the Nation of Israel. There are many Bible Believers in the world so we are not alone..  We have a common denominator.  G-d and the Torah.  Many refer to Torah by the name "Scriptures". The Torah is our Guiding Light in this period of darkness. Only in the Land of Israel can Commandments be actualized to the fullest by the collective Nation Israel with support of the Bnei Noach and their commitment to the 7 Noahide Laws.  When we observe the Commandments in the Land,   G-d promises us security.  And if we fail, then G-d has His agents to wake us up or G-d forbid throw us out.  When we fulfill our obligations Laws and Statutes in the Land, then G-d protects us.  How can we do that when we agree even in principle to give the Land away?

Can we put on Tefillin w/o a hand? The hand is the vessel for the commandment of Tefillin. The Land is the vessel for the benefit of mankind via G-d's Chosen People Israel. Without the vessel we can not accomplish our G-dly mission.

The time has come to put G-d and the Torah in the forefront and to make it a public proclamation to the World and not keep it a private acknowledgment in the privacy of our homes  Because what is at stake here is the War of Terror on mankind.  If Israel doesn't take the lead to be the Lion Kingdom  of the World then the evil Scar and the Coyotes take over.  And Israel can not succeed unless the Almighty Powerful One is fighting for us.  Let's put our efforts and bucks in the Almighty with recognition and prayer  and implementing many of your wonderful suggestions while Saudis, EU, USA, the UN, Latin America, South American waste  their efforts and bucks in futility.

That is the key to our Victory.

Sincerely, Robin

Column One: The wars of 2011
By CAROLINE B. GLICK, The Jerusalem Post
December 28, 2010
Israel must be prepared for two things this upcoming year: A missile
war with Hamas and a political war with Fatah.

On Sunday thousands of Israel haters gathered in Istanbul to welcome
the Turkish-Hamas terror ship Mavi Marmara to the harbor. Festooned
with Palestinian flags, the crowd chanted "Death to Israel," "Down
with Israel" and "Allah akbar" with Hizbullah-like enthusiasm.

The Turkish protesters promised to stand on the side of Hamas when it
next goes to war with Israel. They may not have to wait long to keep
their promise. Over the past two weeks Hamas has steeply escalated its
missile war with over 30 launches. Last week, a missile that narrowly
missed a nursery school wounded a young girl.

Since Operation Cast Lead two years ago, Iran has helped Hamas
massively increase its missile and other military capabilities. Today
the terror group that rules Gaza has missiles capable of reaching Tel
Aviv. It has advanced antitank missiles. As Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida
said Saturday, "We are now stronger than before and during the war,
and our silence over the past two years was only for evaluating the
situation."

That evaluation has not tempered Hamas's aim of annihilating the Jews
of Israel. As Obeida's colleague Ahmed Jaabari said Saturday, Israel's
Jews have two choices, "death or departing Palestinian lands."

IDF commanders are taking Hamas's new brinksmanship seriously. In
recent days several have said that Israel's deterrence has eroded.
Another Cast Lead is just a matter of time, they warn.

In the meantime, Fatah ­ Hamas's sometime rival and sometime brother ­
is preparing its next round of political warfare with its many friends
around the world. Despite some recent tactical repositioning, its goal
is clearly to proceed with its plan to declare statehood with maximum
international support within the next nine to 12 months.

To this end, Fatah and its allies are operating on multiple fronts. On
November 24 the UN General Assembly passed a resolution to hold a
Durban III conference on September 21. The first conference, held in
Durban, South Africa in September 2001, is mainly remembered as a
diplomatic pogrom against Israel and Jews which complemented the
shooting war in Israel.

As Jews were being butchered in pizzerias in Jerusalem, Jew-haters
gathered to deny that Jews have human rights. They used the UN's
anti-racism banner to assert that it is not racist to kill and incite
the murder of Jews. Jews were singled out and condemned as the only
nation in the world whose national liberation movement ­ Zionism ­ is
racist.

BUT EVEN more important than its service in glorifying suicide bombers
and their political commissars just three days before the September 11
jihadist assault on the US, the Durban conference was the place where
the blueprint for the political war against Israel was authored. At
the NGO conference which took place as an adjunct to the governmental
conference, self-proclaimed "human rights" groups from around the
world agreed that their job was to criminalize the Jewish state to
isolate it politically, diplomatically and economically. As key
organizers put it, the "activists'" job was to conduct a nonviolent
jihad to complement the work of the "resistance fighters" massacring
children and parents in Israel.

The Durban II conference last year in Geneva was supposed to
reinvigorate the political war that was launched in 2001. But it was a
bust. The only head of state to address the proceedings was Iranian
dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He used the occasion to again call for
the eradication of the Jewish state.

To prevent another flop, last month the Palestinians and their
supporters agreed that the 10th anniversary conference will be held in
New York during the opening of UN General Assembly. Their goal is to
piggyback on that conference to get heads of state that are in New
York already to join in their anti-Israel political war.

And they have every reason for optimism. Although Canada and Israel
have announced their plans to boycott the conference, the Obama
administration has been noticeably unwilling to distance itself from
it.

Given the swank locale of Durban III, the Palestinians and their
friends trust they will enjoy a reprise of the virulently anti-Jewish
NGO conference of a decade ago. The resolution clearly advocates such
an outcome in its call for "civil society, including NGOs to organize
and support" the conference "with high visibility."

For Fatah leaders like the Palestinian Authority's unelected president
Mahmoud Abbas and its unelected prime minister Salam Fayyad, the
Durban III conference will be the culmination of their current
campaign to delegitimize Israel.

Last week the PA announced it will ask the UN Security Council to pass
an anti- Semitic resolution defining Jewish building in Judea, Samaria
and Jerusalem as illegal. This move dovetails nicely with Abbas's
statement over the weekend that "Palestine" will be Jew-free. As he
put it, "If there is an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem
as its capital, we won't agree to the presence of one Israeli in it.
When a Palestinian state is established, it would have no Israeli
presence."

To date neither of these racist bids to deny Jews basic rights to
their homes and land just because they are Jews has been opposed by
any government or human rights group. And if the Obama administration
allows the PA's anti-Semitic resolution to go forward in the Security
Council, the move would be a massive victory for the political war
against Israel.

That war has already won some other significant victories of late. The
decision by five South American governments to recognize "Palestine"
along the 1949 armistice lines, like the decision by a number of
European states ­ following the US ­ to upgrade the PLO's diplomatic
status are tactical gains.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signaled this month that the Obama
administration is wholly on board Fatah's political warfare bandwagon.
In her speech at the Brookings Institute on December 10, she said the
Obama administration supports Fatah's plan to build facts on the
ground that will make it more difficult for Israel to maintain its
control over Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.

After calling Jewish presence in the areas "illegitimate," Clinton
pledged the US "will deepen our support of the Palestinians'
state-building efforts."

Among other things, she pledged to continue training and deploying a
Palestinian army in Judea and Samaria and pressuring Israel to
withdraw the IDF from the areas.

As she put it, "As the Palestinian security forces continue to become
more professional and capable, we look to Israel to facilitate their
efforts. And we hope to see a significant curtailment of incursions by
Israeli troops into Palestinian areas."

These then are the contours of the Palestinians' war plans for 2011.
Hamas will launch an illegal missile war to provoke an IDF campaign in
Gaza. Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, Turkey, the UN and a vast array of NGOs
and leftist governments from Norway to Brazil will support its illegal
war.

Fatah will escalate its political war. Its campaign will be supported
by the US, the EU, the UN and a vast array of NGOs and leftist
governments.

The purpose of these two campaigns ­ which complement one another and
which will likely culminate at the UN in September ­ is to weaken
Israel militarily and politically with the shared purpose of
destroying it in the fullness of time.

SO WHAT must Israel do? In the first instance, it must decide that its
goal is not merely to weather this storm, but to win both of these
wars.

In recent days we have been witness to a mildly entertaining fight
between Defense Minister Ehud Barak and former prime minister Ehud
Olmert. Olmert accused Barak of purposely failing to defeat Hamas
during Operation Cast Lead. Barak, Olmert alleged, "did everything he
could to defend Hamas and to prevent its downfall in the Gaza Strip."

Barak responded to Olmert's broadside by accusing the leader who
failed to defeat Hizbullah in the 2006 war of "phony Churcillianism."

Ironically, of course, both are right. Both of them led Israel in war
with extreme incompetence. Both refused to put together strategies for
victory.

Now as the country contemplates a reprise of Cast Lead, Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu must ensure that when the IDF acts, it acts
decisively and emerges victorious. If this means firing Barak, then he
must be fired.

The same is true in the political realm. The Palestinian offensive
must be met by a counteroffensive that is informed by a strategy for
victory. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman demonstrated the starting
point on Sunday when he told Israel's ambassadors that peace with the
Palestinians is impossible. But this is not enough.

Any strategy for victory in political warfare must begin with a clear
recognition of reality. Peace is impossible because like Hamas, Fatah
is the enemy. Its leaders and rank and file reject our right to exist.
They are building a state that will be at war with us. They are avidly
working to delegitimize us with the intention of destroying us
together with their brothers in Hamas ­ whom they finance with US and
other foreign aid.

A political war against Fatah would involve actively discrediting its
members and leaders. Today Fatah is running a campaign libeling IDF
soldiers and commanders as war criminals. Israel must file valid war
crimes complaints against Fatah terrorists and political leaders in
the international and foreign judicial bodies.

Fatah uses the UN to delegitimize us. Our delegations at all UN bodies
must daily submit resolutions calling for the condemnation of the
Palestinians for their efforts to criminalize us and carry out war
crimes against us.

Israel must also rally its allies to its side. We must ask our friends
in the US Congress to defund the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA. The
PA is a terroristic and criminal syndicate that uses US taxpayer
dollars to finance terrorism and pad the pockets of terror masters and
apparachiks. UNRWA, which is supposed to be a welfare organization,
openly acknowledges that it employs terrorists, allows its schools and
camps to be used as jihad indoctrination centers, training camps and
missile launching pads. The Congressional Research Service has stated
that it is impossible to claim that US funds to UNRWA do not at least
indirectly finance terror groups.

At home the government must stop all tax transfers to the PA. It must
prohibit the deployment of the US-trained Palestinian army in Judea
and Samaria. It must rebuff US pressure to curtail IDF counterterror
operations in Judea and Samaria.

The government must outlaw all organizations assisting the
Palestinians in their military and political warfare operations. It
should support class action lawsuits against the PA by terror victims
in local courts. It should withhold diplomatic visas to
representatives of countries like Britain where Israeli politicians
and military personnel are barred from travelling due to Palestinian
lawfare operations.

The government should implement Netanyahu's open airwaves plan and
encourage the launch of a private all news network along the Fox News
model.

The Palestinians clearly see the coming year as a decisive year in
their war to destroy Israel. The Netanyahu government needs to muster
its forces to battle. These are battles we can win. But to do so, we
must commit ourselves to victory.

To Whom It May Concern, amv"sh

In all due respect to Stand with Us and the wonderful work you do(see below), the Palestinians, (who really never were a people so for lack of a better term let us call them Muslim Obstacles of Peace and Occupiers of Judea and Samaria), are the ones who don't belong in Judea and Samaria and are illegitimate occupiers. We can also call those who glorify suicide bombers in their schools aka FATAH or PLO, the Muslim Jihad Lovers or MUJL (which actually sounds like MUGGLE (from Harry Potter). 

What to do with all these Arabs in Judea and Samaria? 

Let them choose from 22 Arab STates who refuse to take them in or else choose to accept Jewish Sovereignty in the one and only Jewish State.  They can leave as they wish. With Israel absorbing hundreds of thousands of Jews over the years, the Arab Countries whose collective size is 400 times the size of Israel, can absorb these Muslims who reject Israel and the G-d of Israel.

Israel as you point out is an ancient Jewish Homeland.

 Israel was Promised by G-d only to the Nation of Israel. Foreigners are welcome as long as they accept Jewish Sovereignty and the 7 Noahide Laws. 

This basic fundamental fact based on the Torah is one that you shy away from.  But it is Truth and it should be included in your educational material regarding the Israel Palestinian conflict.  It is the root source of this theological conflict. 

Who are the real legit occupiers?  Aren't they the Jews in Judea and Samaria? AFter all, isn't this ancient Jewish Land based on the Bible, History, Archeology and International Law?

Or does it belong to this newly created unknown fabricated nationality that does not have its roots in anything except its desire to wipe out any Jewish presence which is their only connection of the Palestinians of the past.

Will the real legit occupiers please Stand With Us?

Now that the issues is raised, it  is an excellent opportunity to seriously examine the hundreds of millions of dollars of American Tax money going to support terrorism. Please Visit...

We are the merchants of death

and

Our President and Arafat's fragrant keffiyeh

Facts:
  • The PA does not recognize Israel's right to exist. 
  • They glorify Jihad and suicide bombs in their education. 
  • They join with Hamas and  hide behind ambulances and school buildings and UN buildings to launch rockets against Israeli civilians, clearly War Crimes. 
  •  Israel responds as any Sovereign Nation should in self defense. 
Clearly it is Palestinian War Crimes we are talking about!  Israel puts its money into building homes, settling the Land,, farming, technology and medicine.  They have won more Nobel prices in all fields than all the Arab Nations combined.  They are the first to send aid for any international disaster since they really care about the world. This is the fact and truth. 

The Palestinians claim Jewish Land even though they have no justified claim based on the Bible, history, archeology and International Law. All their money is used for warfare against Israel and to support terror and to teach their children the same.

Update on the Seattle Anti-Israel Bus Advertising Campaign

As you may know, an anti-Israel group is planning on running billboard ads on Seattle buses beginning Monday, December 27.


WHAT StandWithUs Northwest HAS DONE


  StandWithUs Northwest Alerts and Lobbying

Last Friday evening, we confirmed that an anti-Israel group was planning to run anti-Israel "Israeli War Crimes" ads on at least 12 buses running through downtown Seattle. Saturday evening, we sent out the first of our three email StandWithUs alert messages and you responded. People from all over the world wrote to the suggested recipients and are working to make a difference.

Many of you have copied us with the emails you've sent in to the King County Councilmembers and Metro. We've received copies of over 1,800 emails so far. And we know that that is only a small portion of the emails that have been sent - not everyone copied us on their emails. Plus, the phones at Metro have been ringing off the hook with complaints about Metro accepting the anti-Israel "Israeli War Crimes" ad.

Since Monday, StandWithUs Northwest's professional and Seattle lay leadership have been on the phones, calling King County Councilmembers, lobbying them to come out in opposition to the anti-Israel ad. We've been calling all our other political contacts asking that they (1) call the councilmembers and Metro and use their political powers of persuasion to get Metro to reconsider the ad in light of the language of its own policy, and (2) be prepared to come out publicly in opposition to the message of the ad and in support of U.S. aid to Israel.
 
  The Results So Far

As a result of your emails and calls, and calls from other community members and leaders, along with StandWithUs Northwest lobbying, we know that at least three King County Councilmembers have publicly come out in opposition to Metro running the ad. The first to speak out was Councilmember Peter von Reichbauer. Yesterday both Councilmembers Reagan Dunn and Jeanne Hague also came out very strongly with statements opposing the ad.

Please let them know we appreciate that they have taken this public position. Let them know that we appreciate their political courage and that we know the political risk they take by clearly speaking out in the Seattle metropolitan area in opposition to the anti-Israel ad and in support of Israel.

To thank these council members, click on the following names to email Councilmember von Reichbauer (206-296-1007), Councilmember Reagan Dunn (206-296-1009) and Councilmember Jeanne Hague (206-296-1006).

  Closing Down Ballot Stuffing on KING 5 TV Poll

Many of you are aware that KING 5 TV, which first broke the story, had an on-line poll on whether or not Metro should carry the ads. It very quickly became the most visited page on their website, with tens of thousands of people voting. Blogs across the country directed people to vote in the poll. By Monday evening, slightly more than 50 percent of the votes were against Metro running the ad. Then, between late Monday evening and early Tuesday morning, more than 15,000 nearly unanswered "yes" votes came piling in, supporting Metro running the ads.

StandWithUs Northwest realized that someone had set up a computerized voting application that created unique but false email addresses so that thousands of fake votes could be automatically sent in to the poll. The supporters of the anti-Israel ad were ballot stuffing.

StandWithUs Northwest's co-chairs, Carolyn Hathaway and Sharon Finegold, called KING 5 and explained the problem and showed them that it was statistically nearly impossible for so many no votes to come in so quickly in a legitimate way.

KING 5 responded immediately by investigating the problem and, within an hour, pulled the poll off the web.

  Meeting with the King County Executive Office and Metro Management

This afternoon we met with representatives of the King County Executive's office together the senior management of Metro.

We were joined for this meeting by three other community organizations: the AJC, Federation of Greater Seattle and ADL.

Together, we urged Metro to hold off on running the ad until they review it in light of the threat to public safety and the danger to the Jewish community in Seattle - especially in light of the attacks against our community organizations in recent years, including recent vandalism and threats at Jewish schools.

We asked that they apply their own advertising policy, which specifically states that they will not run ads that include "material directed at a . . . group that is so insulting, degrading or offensive as to be reasonably foreseeable that it will incite or produce imminent lawless action in the form of retaliation, vandalism or other breach of public safety, peace and order."

We explained that the "Israeli War Crimes" language is incendiary, that the ad could result in a mentally unbalanced person attacking Jews or Jewish organizations - or even Metro's buses. We expressed that this is very a serious concern in the Jewish community - a community that needs to spend an inordinate amount of money on security for our schools, synagogues and organizations.

Both the King County Executive's office and the Metro management heard our position. No decision was reached at the meeting, but we expect to hear from them shortly.


WHAT Stand
WithUs Northwest IS DOING NOW


Again, StandWithUs fervently hopes that Metro will not run the anti-Israel ad. But if they do, we are prepared to run our own ad. It's a tough ad, but we feel that we have to respond to what will be four weeks of repeated "Israeli War Crimes" ads running through our downtown corridor. In today's world of sound bite news, it is that phrase that people will remember long after the ad campaign is over.

We also know that many other organizations from outside of the state are planning to run ads. One of the reasons we hope that Metro will decide not to run the anti-Israel ad is because it will bring the Middle East conflict to the buses of Seattle. It will result in organizations using Seattle as their advertising battlefield. It will be divisive and hurt our larger community. And because issues like the Mideast conflict are far more complex than sound bites.


LESSONS LEARNED


Over the past three years,StandWithUs Northwest has sent speakers out throughout the community - to schools, campuses, churches, and civic organizations - to speak to thousands of high school and college students, church members and Northwest community members in support of Israel. We realize how little most people know about Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But it has been an eye-opener and evidence of the need for even much greater outreach and education to realize that the Metro management had no idea how the anti-Israel "Israeli War Crimes" ad would affect our community. They had no idea that it would elicit the incredible response from you and members of the Jewish community across not only Seattle, Washington or the U.S., but from Jews around the world.

They asked us, "What's so bad about this ad? We just don't get it."

Clearly, we have a lot of work to do. We need more speakers, more meetings with church leaders, more programs in the community, more educational opportunities and more chances to confront, face-to-face, in public debates and forums, those who distort the truth and demonize Israel. We need proactive education and we must be prepared to respond to misinformation.


THANK YOU'S GO TO:


AJC and Wendy Rosen for heading the Seattle Anti-BDS Task Force.

AJC, Federation, ADL and various other organizations and individuals for their work on the Anti-BDS Task Force.
The Federation of Greater Seattle for the alert it sent out this week.

The metropolitan Seattle community's rabbis, synagogues and organizations for sending out to their members and supporters our alert this week.
 
You and the thousands of other community members who have written, called, and created the political pressure that has led to the County and Metro's reconsideration of the anti-Israel ad.

Now that the issues is raised, it  is an excellent opportunity to seriously examine the hundreds of millions of dollars of American Tax money going to support terrorism. Please Visit...

We are the merchants of death

and

Our President and Arafat's fragrant keffiyeh

Facts:
  • The PA does not recognize Israel's right to exist. 
  • They glorify Jihad and suicide bombs in their education. 
  • They join with Hamas and  hide behind ambulances and school buildings and UN buildings to launch rockets against Israeli civilians, clearly War Crimes. 
  •  Israel responds as any Sovereign Nation should in self defense. 
Clearly it is Palestinian War Crimes we are talking about!  Israel puts its money into building homes, settling the Land,, farming, technology and medicine.  They have won more Nobel prices in all fields than all the Arab Nations combined.  They are the first to send aid for any international disaster since they really care about the world. This is the facts and truth. 

The Palestinians claim Jewish Land even though they have no justified claim based on the Bible, history, archeology and International Law. All their money is used for warfare against Israel and to support terror and to teach their children the same.

Ending the "Occupation". The case for a Sovereign, Independent Judean Autonomy.

bs"d

When Obama is publicly calling for the end of the "occupation"  he is clearly suggesting that the occupation of Israel in Judea and Samaria is illegal. While occupying my own house is the norm and legal, clearly President Obama is rejecting Israel's occupation as legal.

Perhaps we need to turn the tables on President Obama and complain that he is "occupying the White House".  Let's ignore that he was elected in a democratic election.  However he has yet to produce a valid American Birth Certificate thereby questioning the legality of his occupation of the White House. .

But nothing in this world is happenstance.  Why is Israel being accused of "occupying" the Land so to speak illegally?  Perhaps Israel must be introspective and go back to our entitlement of the Land of Israel which is clearly based on the obligation  for Jews to occupy the Land with Torah and Mitzvoth. 

First let us examine whether Jews from the Diaspora are coming home to the Land in order to occupy it with Torah and Mitzvoth.  Then let us examine whether Israel today is a Land where the Law of the Land is Torah and Mitzvoth with a Sanhedrin rather than a hodgepodge of Turkish, British and International Law. 

If one argues that it is difficult to convert Israel's legal system to one that is based on Torah and Mitzvoth, they have valid and strong arguments. 

Therefore, perhaps let us take our cue from the Palestinians themselves who call for a Sovereign and independent State.  Just instead of calling it Palestine let us call it Judea.  Given that Judea and Samaria is not officially annexed by the State of Israel but rather is under miilitary occupation of the Israel army,  let us call for an Independent Judean Autonomy as a prototype government based on Torah and Mitzvoth.  Let this be a revolutionary model small scale that would not upset the existing Jewish model of government known as the State of Israel, whose official law of the Land is not based on Torah and Mitzvoth officially.

With time, surely this Judean model will prove to be a Land occupied by a  Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation for the benefit of peace and prosperity for Israel and all of mankind.

However, even that is not enough to combat the evils that threaten us all. 
 
We are well aware of the devastating lessons of the Holocaust and must never again allow unconscionable acts to occur.  It is incumbent upon all of us to be ever vigilant and always vocal to prevent the tragedies of the past. 
 
With your contributions, we can continue to create the necessary dialogue, spur needed action, and obtain positive results in countering those who attempt to destroy the values we hold dear.
 
Your financial support allows CJHS to host an ongoing series of important presentations given by American, Israeli, and international opinion leaders.  We open our programs to everyone in our communities to build awareness and provide a forum for discussion on issues so critical to our welfare.

 Tzipi Hotoveli eloquently expresses my exact thoughts.  Security reasons can not be the reason we are entitled to this Land.  The Land of Israel belongs only to the Jews. Foreigners are welcome as long as they accept this given.

Excellent newsletter in this Media War of Delegitimization: TZC-Newsletter-Dec-17-2010- please print and distribute,

bs"d

Dear Friends and Media, amv"sh

Please download the attachment.

There is an ongoing  Media War regarding the delegitimization of our entitlement to Eretz Yisroel.  Each one of us are soldiers that must fight in order to win this war.

The Toronto Zionist Council puts together a fantastic newsletter with articles that generally don't make it to the mainstream press here in NY.  Those of us that care passionately about Eretz Yisroel will get such news from Caroline Glick or from Arutz7. However the typical Flatbush or Boro Park Yid is confused about  Jewish entitlement of the Land of Israel.  President Obama says Jerusalem should be divided and labels Jewish presence in PA claimed areas as "illegitimate".    Jews respond with silence.  Hillary Clinton treats Tzipi Livni and Ehud Barak as esteemed politicians after they put the blame on the failed "peace process" on Netanyahu..  .

Therefore, please review this newsletter and put the best Hasbara into your Shuls and News. 

Why Hasbara from the Israeli Gov't in ineffective?
Hasbara by the Israel Gov't  taking the lead from Netanyahu, only emphasizes that we do not have a peace partner.  It fails to speak of our G-d given entitlement and legitimate claim to the Land.  Such "Hasbara" in principle supports a 2 State Solution and in so doing actually aids to advance the "Peace Process"  which clearly is a  "Terror Process".   This kind of Hasbara is ineffective and  fails  to fight the PR Campaign of delegitimization since It does not refute the lie that Jews are "occupiers". It does not assert our claim to Eretz Yisroel.

Let us take the offensive which is based on truth. Foreigners that  fail to recognize Jewish Sovereignty and those that desire the destruction of Israel and the Land of Israel are the real "occupiers"

Only the Torah can refute this lie of "Occupation". Listen and quote Helen Freedman, a shining star, spokeswoman of AFSI  as she speaks for ACT for America in Florida(see last article in newsletter) .
 
Presently, former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, and many Ministers among Evangelicals will powerfully and openly unabashedly quote the Bible and support Jewish Sovereignty in all of Israel including Judea and Samaria. They believe that this is the key for blessings of mankind based on what is written in the Torah.

The Media creates the politics as Caroline Glick points out in her article "Bringing Down Bibi"  (Kadima she reports was created by the Leftist Media) Can't we then create a reality based on the truth of the Torah using the tools we have be it a Newspaper, radio program or simply equipped with  internet, our PC and printer.    The ball is in our court. 

Dear List, please make copies and distribute in shul.  email tzc@torzc.org or the editor Yossi Winter, cooljoe@torzc.org to  get your weekly newsletter emailed every Thursday night ,

I hope you will also read the following article by Daniel Greenfield who blogs as Sultan Knish entitled Who Will Teach Tolerance to the Muslims?

Undercover's Revolutionary Guard reveals
mosques in the U.S. used for terrorism


Dear Robin,

This week's edition of "Stakelbeck on Terror" gives us a glimpse into the world of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. In an interview with a CIA operative who worked undercover within the Guard, we learn how Islamists are using mosques in the U.S. to advance terrorism and jihad.


  Video of the interview is available here. A transcript of the segment about mosques in the U.S. is available below, and can be seen at the 24:57 timing mark on the video.

Members of the media often ask us at ACT! for America why there is growing concern about mosques in the United States. The reason is simple: Americans are waking up to the realization that jihadist ideology and planning is being promoted in many American mosques.

 



Khalili: Mosques are supposed to be a place for prayer. A place for submission to God. But they are used as a recruitment center, for backdoor meetings, transfer of arms and cash and putting together terrorist activities and I was involved in some of their meetings.

E.S: You made a key point, that Iran used mosques and Islamic cultural centers in the West to further its agenda...could you get a little bit more specific about that? How does Iran uses mosques here in the U.S. and in Europe to plot terrorism?

Khalili: I can tell you from experience: I was part of the operation, I was involved in the Islamic community, and I can tell you clearly that out of mosques, there was a big effort with the Afghan communities by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards members--and with Pakistanis, Turks and others. And they would recruit from them, they would transfer cash and arms. And mosques provided a safe haven, and actually, in my view, were one of the centers of the operation. So if an intelligence agency such as the CIA infiltrates a mosque and understands that there is a specific Guards member who runs it, then actually they could be very successful in drawing a chart of all the terrorist activities in that specific region. That's how central the mosque operation was.

E.S.: And that's in Europe--you were involved in some of these operations in Europe. How about the U.S.?

Khalili: It's absolutely the same. They recruit, they train, they sell the ideology of martyrdom, and many, many are guided and connected to terrorist groups. And you've seen this: many U.S. born citizens, Muslims, unfortunately, have been sold this idea and are sent to Al Qaeda camps or others. But the Iranians are very active in this country through the mosques and Islamic cultural centers to make those connections and run those operations.

גבולות הארץ


Dear List, amv"sh


My comments. Than you Rabbi Dov Stein for sending. 


Beautiful Maps of the borders of Israel as delineated in the Torah.


Let us study, review and publicize the boundaries as delineated in various places in the Tanach.  Perhaps  direct negotiations should begin using the extended boundaries promised by G-d to Abraham in the Brit Bein Habesarim.  Note that parts of Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and the Sinai desert are included in these Biblical boundaries. Clearly then, Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem would not be on the negotiating table.. .


Hatikva party should review these maps carefully before suggesting that Jordan is Palestine.  My guess is that the Hashemite Kingdom in Jordan has no interest absorbing a bunch of terrorists who align themselves with jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood. and wishes the takeover of all of Israel via an armed struggle as is taught in the educational material of the Palestinian Authority.)In fact which Arab country wishes to absorb the?m

Finding Your Passion

It's fascinating to read about people and their passions. For example, there is a woman named Evelyn Hayes who has a passion for the tomb of our Matriarch Rachel (Kever Rachel). Her heart and soul are devoted to Israel, particularly to Kever Rachel. She bought property nearby, does fundraisers for Kever Rachel, writes poetry about it, etc. I wonder where this comes from! I wonder, who was she in a previous incarnation?!
