Dear Lovers of Eretz Yisroel, amv"sh

This is not merely a commemoration of the 22 beautiful Gush Katif communities razed to the ground.  Please help AFSI publicize this event!

Judea and Samaria is now under threat from those that endorse a Palestinian State.  The Gov't of Israel efficiently implemented the "Disengagement" from Gush Katif in 2005.  How can we be silent when we see them heading in this direction once again?  

The gov't of Israel  recently arrested leading Rabbis, Rav Lior and Rav Yaakov Yosef, who endorse discourse based on Torah sources on matters related to grey areas when it comes to matters of Self Defense.  Many protesters of these shameful arrests of leading Rabbanim were also arrested.  Freedom of Speech is being denied to the Right Nationalist Camp especially Torah Scholars. 

It is important that we come out in numbers to this AFSI event in NYC and show support  of Jewish Sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and our rights and  obligation of Self Defense.  Let us send the message, a clear message of support for the Right Nationalist Camp and  our unwillingness to tolerate delegitimization, victimization and discrimination against residents of Judea and Samaria.  The Right Nationalist Camp have proven their love of their fellow Jew above and beyond any normal natural human response.to the atrocities they have endured against them with their properties destroyed, their loved ones, literally interred from their graves, their family units uprooted and their communities displaced.. They are true and authentic models of Ahavas Chinam, baseless love between fellow Jews.   

When we remember what happened in Gush Katif, we remind ourselves our obligations to protect  Jewish Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and to support our wonderful brothers and sisters who are holding on to our birthright with their fingertips. .  . 

 AFSI is one organization that has been consistently working to prevent another Gush Katif from happening in Judea and Samaria. 

Please ask your friends and neighbors. Are your Jewish organizations doing anything?  When you read  or listen to the Jewish news are they publicizing the plight of Jews living in Judea and Samaria and the delegitimizations they endure?   WHY IS it only AFSI and her members THAT HAS PUBLICLY OPENED THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS TO HEAR THE PAIN OF THEIR FELLOW JEW IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA and ACT on it?   

I haven't seen major condemnations of the arrests of the Rabbanim other than coming from the Right Nationalist Camp. Has there even been much news about it other than from the Nationalist Camp?   

AL TAAMOD AL DAM REIACHA.  Why was all the property of the residents of Gush KATIF Hefker? What is the purpose of learning all the Gemaras on Property rights and then be silent when 10,000 people are made homeless and their source of Parnassa cruelly taken away.  Where is the major Jewish Organizations voice in this regard? 

 WILL YOU PLEASE PUBLICIZE THIS AFSI EVENT IN Print and/or in Radio Media SO THAT PEOPLE WILL KNOW ABOUT IT?  THIS DESERVES FREE PUBLICITY!

 IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FEEL THE PAIN OF YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ERETZ YISROEL COME TO THIS EVENT and meet with leaders of Judea and Samaria.  David HaIvri and Oshri David of the Shomron Liason   Council will be there.  I am sure AFSI WOULDNT MIND SOME COMPETITION. Please don't say your are too busy, but if you really are, they are always available to meet with you by email or by telephone, by skype and perhaps even in person.  Any endorsement and twinning with their communities is greatly appreciated!

 Meet with Dror Vanunu the sweetest guy from Gush Katif whose organization is there to pick up the remnants for the shattered communities of Gush Katif.   

Become involved and become active.  Don't allow JUDEA AND SAMARIA TO share the fate of  GUSH KATIF Chas VeCHalila!

WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 8 P.M., PARK EAST SYNAGOGUE, 163 E. 67TH ST., NYC, (between Lexington & 3rd Aves.) - you are invited to attend a free event to proclaim:    GUSH KATIF LIVES - That is the message we deliver on this upcoming 6th anniversary of the expulsion from 21 Gush Katif/Gaza communities, and 4 northern Shomron communities in August, 2005.  Despite the fact that promises were made to the residents of Gush Katif that there would be a "solution for every settler", the majority of the Jewish refugees are still jobless and still living in temporary trailers or make-shift homes. We deplore this situation and continue to support all efforts to help the refugees rebuild their lives.     It is especially crucial on this anniversary that we affirm NEVER AGAIN will Israel turn brother against brother in destroying Jewish communities. As we hear talk of abandoning Jews living in Judea and Samaria, in exchange for meaningless promises from the PA/Hamas duo, it is especially important to recall the horrors of the 2005 expulsion.   It seems obvious that the defamation of the rabbis of Judea and Samaria is preparation for the delegitimization of the "settlers." This atmosphere of distrust is deliberately being created within Israel, so that if and when PM Netanyahu swaps land for promises, the citizenry will have been programmed to accept the betrayal of those Jews who fought so hard to reclaim the land and rebuild biblical Israel.      DROR VANUNU, representative from the displaced persons of Gush Katif, along with DAVID HA'IVRI and OSHRI DAVID from the Shomron Liaison Council, will be our featured speakers. Their talks will be followed by a Q&A period. This promises to be a very important event. Please make every effort to attend.   For those living outside the NYC area who are receiving this notice, may we suggest that you organize a comparable event in your community. Jews and Christians throughout America should be aware of the dual nature of life in Israel - while amazing and miraculous accomplishments occur which benefit Israel, America, and the entire world, a poison exists within competing elements in the government which threaten Israel's very existence. Feel free to contact AFSI with any questions or comments.

 

HUNTING DOWN RABBIS UNDER THE GUISE OF LAW & ORDER by Adina Kutnicki Rabbi Lior being carried through the street after being interrogated by the police. Another dangerous phenomenon is developing in Israel. In addition to Israeli nationalists being arrested when attacked by Arabs, rabbis are now being arrested for what would normally be considered basic freedoms within any democracy. For the 'crime' of endorsing (issuing a 'haskama'), a leading Jewish legal treatise calledTorat HaMelech, the King's Torah, Rabbi Dov Lior, Chief Rabbi of Hebron-Kiryat Arba, was stopped on the highway and arrested last week while driving into Jerusalem. 44 were arrested in protests after Rabbi Lior and Rabbi Yosef were taken into custody. In addition to rushing to Rav Lior's legal aid,HONENU also defended 29 of his supporters arrested that day for civil disobedience. A few days later, a clear undemocratic pattern became evident. Rabbi Yaakov Yosef was also apprehended for his approbation of Torat HaMelech. Once again, hundreds protested and, HONENUwas called to assist the 15 participants who were arrested in the aftermath. Torat HaMelech, the epicenter of the office of the State Prosecutor's outrage deals with the issue of wartime, specifically, when is it permissible under Jewish law to shed the blood of non-Jews belonging to the enemy population? Alternatively, the present IDF code attributed toTel Aviv University Professor Asa Kasher has led to the death of hundreds of IDF soldiers. Sadly, Kasher's "morality code" has never been the subject of serious public debate. Many showed support for the rabbis over the last week. Another large gathering took place across from the Supreme Court building on Monday. See video. Aside from the blatant violation of the rabbis' basic freedom of speech, it is patently obvious that acceptable norms within a democratic society are no longer upheld in Israel. Thus, another pressing question becomes-why are rabbis arrested, yet leftist academics, cultural icons and Islamic leaders allowed to voice their highly inciting opinions, albeit without fear of arrest? Protect basic civil rights in Israel.  Donate to Honenu.  Make Israel a better place. Honenu representative, Shalom Pollack is available for speaking engagements in Israel year round & in the US in Nov. If interested please contact us.
