Never Again! 100 Shofar Rally following Holocaust Remembrance Day, NIF exposed. Knesset Coalition Chairman Endorses Anti-BDS Protest - April 29, NYC, Afsi newsletter

bs"d

Why is this Shofar Rally tomorrow so important?  (See flier below) See how the NIF is actually endangering Israel by undermining the IDF. 

The message of the Yom HaShoa Rally in front of the Iranian Mission was Never Again!  That means we must stop the BDS enablers before it is too late. 

 

Rejecting the Boycotters at the Celebrate Israel Parade by Edwin Black Author of Financing the Flames: How Tax-Exempt and Public Money Fuel a Culture of Confrontation and Terror in Israel



"In his flyer, Allen of JCC Watch was referencing that the organized international Arab boycott against Jews began on April 1, 1933, after the Mufti of Jerusalem imported Hitler's April First boycott into the Arab and Islamic world. Few remember that April First Nazi boycott was launched by Hitler after a million-man, anti-Nazi protest in Madison Square Garden and elsewhere a few days earlier on March 27, 1933. Even fewer recall that the March 27 rally was preceded earlier that month by a scraggly, rag-tag assemblage of Jewish War Veterans, who marched in New York City calling for a pre-emptive boycott of Nazi Germany. As they marched, those JWV were vociferously denounced, disowned and marginalized by the leaders of organized Jewry who labeled them as "nobodies" and "extremists," saying they "speak for no one." History immutably records that the JWV actually spoke for many — and long before others were willing to speak at all."

How the NIF is undermines the IDF is documented in Edwin Black's book Financing the Flames.  Maybe that is why Chairman of the Coalition MK Yariv Levin (see below in Afsi newsletter) saw fit to send a letter of support to Richard Allen, head of JCCWatch.

Soros and Saudi Arabia Finance a Non-Profit War in Israel


"Many books have been written about the financing of war, but Edwin Black's latest book is about the financing of peace. That would seem like a positive theme, except that Black reveals that the financing of peace is really the financing of war.


Edwin Black has a history of writing investigative reports about the financing of conflict and Financing the Flames: How Tax-Exempt and Public Money Fuel a Culture of Confrontation and Terror in Israel is firmly in that tradition. Black picks up where he left off with his investigation of the Ford Foundation's bigoted Anti-Israel shenanigans at Durban to look at the left's financing of the conflict in Israel.

Financing the Flames breaks down everything from the dollar amounts paid to convicted terrorists ($400 a month for under 3 years, $1,690 for over 10 years and $2,000 for over 15 years) to how the viral videos of Israeli soldiers clashing with civilians are staged (taunt the soldiers, insult their mothers, get right in their faces, edit out the parts that show the incitement) to how a money trail that begins with George Soros ends with violence and hate.


An Arab farmer tells Edwin Black how social justice groups deliberately plant olives in a nature preserve and then stage confrontations for the cameras when the authorities tear up the trees.Black doesn't write in abstracts, instead he gets down and dirty with the personalities; from a meeting at a hotel with the arrogant director of the New Israel Fund to a trailer park in Florida that serves as the real base of operations for an anti-Israel activist group that uses false European fronts to cover its tracks. Financing the Flames takes the reader into encounters with Israeli soldiers and Arab sheiks who surprisingly agree on wanting foreign financed NIF social justice front groups like B'Tselem to go away and leave them alone.

"Why do they do it?" he asks rhetorically. "They are encouraged to make trouble."

Financing the Flames establishes how often "peace groups" act in such bad faith ways, engaging in pointless confrontations and promoting boycotts that only hurt the people they claim to want to help while appearing utterly disinterested in working toward peace.

The culture of activism that has grown around the conflict has made things worse, Black suggests. This isn't a new phenomenon. Western NGOs routinely make things worse when they egotistically and blindly interfere in foreign countries, but their actions in Israel are often uniquely malicious.

Some of the most shocking material in Financing the Flames includes the New Israel's Fund involvement in child endangerment as children are dispatched to harass Israeli soldiers. Paying children to throw rocks at soldiers was a common journalistic tactic back in the Intifada 80s and produced plenty of dramatic photos and videos, but there is something disturbing about a non-profit that is being heavily supported by American tax-exempt contributions helping finance this sort of behavior.

The journalists and the non-profits have a profit motive and an ideological motive to perpetuate the conflict. The money comes from American billionaires and foundations, from the Ford Foundation, which made the New Israel Fund possible, from George Soros, a former Nazi collaborator, while the people on the ground are treated like puppets manipulated into dancing for their amusement.

Black's journalism is meticulously researched and he brings to it the same moralistic eye for detail that informed his earlier work. Edwin Black had examined the funding mechanisms behind the Holocaust and with Financing the Flames he once again charts how modern day genocide is financed and promoted, from the Islamic Development Bank to the State Department to the donor down the block.

The wires cross as money from Islamic terror states and from liberal foundations in the United States go to finance the same organizations and seemingly for the same purposes revealing that when it comes to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Ford Foundation, George Soros and the Saudi king are all on the same page.

Sheikh Zaid al-Jabari of Hebron, a city that has become a favorite target of social justice activists looking to shoot viral videos targeting Israeli soldiers and residents, says, "Millions of dollars are given to these organizations, and they say it is for peace… instead of putting water on the fire, they are fanning the flames."

The non-profits of the left didn't begin this conflict, but Edwin Black's book establishes that they most certainly are fanning the flames.

The millions and billions of dollars flowing into Gaza and the West Bank from foreign aid and non-profits aren't making things better. Even under the guise of peace, there is still more money in war.


Edwin Black s latest book, Financing the Flames: How Tax-Exempt and Public Money Fuel a Culture of Confrontation and Terrorism in Israel, pulls the cover off the robust use of US tax-exempt, tax-subsidized, and public monies to foment agitation, systematically destabilize the Israel Defense Forces, and finance terrorists in Israel. In a far-flung investigation in the United States, Israel and the West Bank, human-rights investigative reporter Edwin Black documents that it is actually the highly politicized human rights organizations and NGOs themselves all American taxpayer supported which are financing the flames that make peace in Israel difficult if not impossible. Black spotlights key charitable organizations such as the Ford Foundation, George Soros' Open Society Foundations, the New Israel Fund, and many others, as well as American taxpayers as a group. Instead of promoting peace and reconciliation between Arabs and Israelis, a variety of taxpayer-subsidized organizations have funded a culture where peace does not pay, but warfare and confrontation do. Ironically, several Jewish organizations, scooping up millions in tax-subsidized donations, stand at the forefront of the problem. At the same time, the author details at great length the laudable and helpful activities of such groups as the New Israel Fund; he chronicles a heartbreaking conflict between stated intent and true impact on the ground. In addition to documenting questionable 501(c)(3) activity, Black documents the direct relationship between taxpayer assistance to the Palestinian Authority and individuals engaged in terrorism against civilians.

Americans for a Safe Israel
 
April 28, 2014
   

     Many thanks to Lynne Bursky and Nissim Tammam for their extraordinary efforts in once again planning and sponsoring the amazing Holocaust Remembrance Rally at the U.N. Iranian Mission on Sunday, April 27. Hundreds were in attendance and heard an array of excellent speakers, (Helen Freedman was privileged to speaking for AFSI) all pointing out the tragedy of the Holocaust and the need to prevent another such horror from occurring. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced these same feelings and concerns in his address to the Israeli nation.

    We know that Iran is moving forward with its plans to build a nuclear bomb to threaten Israel and the world. We also know that Secretary John Kerry, working under President Obama, is clearly Israel's enemy when he predicts that Israel will be guilty of apartheid if a two-state "solution" is not realized with the Fatah/Hamas coalition of terrorists. He threatens a reign of terror against Jews, and looks forward to a change in regime for Israelis and Arabs. It is he who should step down from a position that he is clearly unfit to hold. Americans for a Safe Israel goes on record opposing his statements and calling for him to leave office as Secretary of State.  

 

       We are aware that there are some who may not fully understand the dangers of BDS and the New Israel Fund which is its main supporter. Edwin Black's article below explains that clearly. In it he tell us that "Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Yoni Chetboun (Jewish Home) asserts that 'the main goal of the NIF is to undermine the Israeli Army, by knowingly financing left-wing Israeli groups that try to get young Israeli soldiers prosecuted for war crimes.' If that is not despicable enough, Black goes on to say that the NIF has "fueled well-financed NGO campaigns that portray Israel as a cruel, undemocratic, and oppressive apartheid nation that must be boycotted and sanctioned into either submission of oblivion." 

 

        I trust you are as horrified by this information as we. If so, you MUST attend the 100 Shofar anti-BDS rally on Tuesday, April 29, 5 P.M. - full details below. Please also see the letter of support from Israel's Knesset Coalition Chairman, MK Yariv Levin.

 

 

"The NIF's financial records for 2012 indicates that it granted $109,615 to Breaking the Silence, $255,477 to B'Tselem, and $209,161 to Adalah. These three groups are among many NIF grantees that operate at the front line of anti-Israel information."

Dear Mr. Allen,

 

As coalition chairman at the Knesset in Jerusalem, I am deeply 

moved by the tireless supporters and marchers in the Celebrate Israel Parade and by the courageous stance of so many friends of Israel involved in the parade, calling to delegitimize those who delegitimize Israel. It is not logical or reasonable for Israel supporters to condone or overlook or indirectly cooperate with BDS groups which represent the antithesis of support for Israel. Refusing to recognize the State of Israel's sovereign right to develop and maintain an independent legal position on any issue of national importance is not legitimate.

The State of Israel came into being by virtue of our people's unassailable rights having historical, legal and religious foundations. I am certain that by mutual effort our just path will surmount any attempt to strike down Jewish survival and the Jewish way of life in the land of our forefathers.

 

MK Yariv Levin,

Today is Yom Hashoah VehaGevura!  

What a strong way to show Am Yisroel Chai!

This100 Shofar Rally is much more than just protesting BDS marchers at the Israel Day Parade.  It really is about legitimizing settlement in our Biblical Birthright and the right for the pursuit of a livelihood of any Jew and in this case specifically in Judea and Samaria.

 In the 1930's the Holocaust started with a boycott of Jewish stores and products.  Never Again!  KT Robin

The UJA-Federation / JCRC is permitting the following anti-Israel groups to march in the June 1, 2014 Israel Day Parade:

 

1) Partners for Progressive Israel lists on its website Israeli companies that it wants you to  boycott, including  Ahava cosmetics, SodaStream and wine from nine Israeli vineyards.

 

2) The New Israel Fund finances Israeli NGOs (non-governmental organizations) that promote boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS)  against Israel. Five New Israel Fund grantees (Machsom WatchCoalition of Women for PeaceWomen Against Violence, Social TV, and Mossawa) signed a letter to the Norwegian Government Pension Fund, urging it to divest from Israel. 

   

3) B'Tselem produced the anti-Israel video shown at the infamous "Israel Apartheid Week" events held at Universities worldwide. The chair of  B'Tselem's board, Oren Yiftachel, has publicly called for "effective sanctions" against Israel. B'Tselem is a major grantee of the New Israel Fund.

Defense Minister Yaalon, Can you please protect the Jewish children physically and emotionally rather than slandering them???? End occupation of "Od Yosef Chai" Sign Petition, Holy Criminals, Yitzhar , Holocaust Rememberence Day UN Iranian MIssion, Sunday 11:30am, Tue Night 100 Shofars blasts American Taxpayers Must Just Say NO to Funding PA/Hamas terror. Manhigut Dinner!

bs"d

What is going on in Yitzhar?  What is happening on Har Habayit? What dangerous psychological tactics are being waged by Prime Minister Netanyau and Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, against and at the expense of  the settlers and the youth.  This settler community is already weighed down with lots of emotional baggage going back to Yamit, Gush Katif expulsions, Amona etc.  

 
  • Why is there zero tolerance on Jews but infinite tolerance for Arabs rioting threatening little Jewish kids on Temple Mount,  as reported on Algemeiner.  Moshe Feiglin writes, "Over Pesach, I wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, urging him to fire Internal Security Minister Aharonovitz because of the Arab riots on the Temple Mount. Here is a fresh example of how the minister safeguards the security of Israeli children in the holiest Jewish shrine in the very heart of our 'sovereign' capital, Jerusalem. A must see video.  Brave Chareidim and their children clearly being threatened. A miracle that nothing worse happened http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/04/24/jewish-children-assaulted-by-muslims-on-temple-mount-video/
  • How about having zero tolerance for the Jihad education of the Palestinians in the UN schools? Read all about it on frontpage by David Bedein The U.N.'s Child Death Cult Education http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dbedein/the-u-n-s-child-death-cult-education/
  • Here is another example or framing young girls: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/179837#replies Police 'Waste Public Funds' Against Three 'Price Tag' Girls Attorney slams police for attempting draconian measures against 'girls playing with sand', after alleged 'vandalism' of Muslim cemetery.

Let's return to Yitzhar.  In Yitzhar, Arutz 7 reported that the IDF tore down a new house l belonging to Avi and Shoshana Lazar. The Lazar family was due to move into their new home  with five children. It seems like a 16 year old kid slashed a tire of an IDF officer  in response.The demolition in Yitzhar comes on the heels of the destruction of the Kaisler family's new home in Kida, Samaria, in early February. The youth was labeled as a terrorist which escalated matters. More tires were slashed apparently to make a statement not to demolish any more homes and the Border Police  then demolished 4 more homes in Yitzhar!  Very Macho of the Border Police! Zero Tolerance against fellow Jews as per orders of Defense Minister? Then the Yitzhar community reacted in kind and destroyed an IDF post. The Border Police then took over the Od Yosef Chai Yeshiva Building. 

Let's get to the root of the matter. Who issued the orders to destroy the Jewish Settlers homes?  Was it Bibi?  Was it Boogie?  How are these immoral acts justified? Is it merely to teach the settlers how to be law abiding citizens?  My guess is it was a political move, using the settlers as a "sacrificial lamb for peace"  to impress Kerry that Israel is indeed doing it's part to continue the "peace process", 

 As AP News reports, "The Palestinians - and Kerry - questioned Israel's commitment to peace when it continued to build settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem throughout the talks. The Palestinians claim both areas, along with the Gaza Strip, for a future state."..." Israel captured all three areas in the 1967 Mideast war" 

Now let's go to today's news:

Link to AP News: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/ML_ISRAEL_PALESTINIANS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT "Israel broke off Mideast peace talks and brought the U.S.-brokered process to the brink of collapse Thursday, protesting a reconciliation agreement between the Western-backed Palestinian Authority and the militant group Hamas, the Jewish state's sworn enemy."The rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah announced the reconciliation plan Wednesday, meant to end a seven-year rift."... For U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the Israeli decision was the latest - and perhaps final - blow to the peace efforts he has led for the past nine months"

 It seems from this article that Israel is the one being blamed for the breakdown of the "peace" talks. 

In defense, and in a statement issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, the government said it would not hold negotiations with a government "backed by Hamas." "Instead of choosing peace, Abu Mazen formed an alliance with a murderous terrorist organization that calls for the destruction of Israel".  Netanyahu puts the blame on Abbas. 

In our situation, Yaalon destroys homes,and then blames the Yitzhar community for reacting.  To add insult to injury and perhaps in a subconscious attempt to remove any evidence that perhaps the settlers are justified in living in Yitzhar, the IDF then  takes over Yeshiva Od Yosef Chai.  http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/brave-israel-police-stand-guard-at-empty-yeshiva-to-stop-violence/2014/04/24/ 

Please, sign the petition demanding that the government leave the premises  of the Yitzhar Yeshiva http://www.eish-l.org/s/qfa2tx

Apparently, the Yeshiva is a place where the Youth is being "radicalized".  There is some truth in the fact that in this Yeshiva, as in all Yeshivot, the youth are being taught Torah.  In Torah, it is taught that the Nation of Israel have rights to the Land, especially Judea and Samaria and the territory of Judea and Samaria  falls within the delineated boundaries of Israel and in fact is the heartland of Israel. By teaching such Torah and living by the Word of Torah these kids are being "radicalized".  By taking over the Yeshiva when the kids are on Pesach break, the Police continue the facade on behalf of the political stage to impress the likes of Kerry and Obama.

So what was the technical excuse for the Lazar's home in Yitzhar demolished?   Apparently they didn't have a legal permit. I think the founding fathers of the Thirteen Colonies would have called such an action as demolition of ones home for lacking the necessary permit denied for political reasons as an "intolerable act".  

Do all the Arabs in the area have legal permits?  Are their homes also being  demolished? Can Arab children walk, play, pray on Temple Mount undisturbed and without harassment? Where is fair play?

 It seems quite clear to me that these demolitions,  and Yeshiva takeover are clearly  criminal provocations on the part of the Border Police acting according to their orders. It seems to me that it is slander to portray the Yitzhar community as criminal, or violent.  It serves their political end but not one based on truth nor consistent with Torah.

The act of vandalism and attack on an IDF post was not done in a vacuum.   Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense MInister Yaalon have yet to  take any responsibility for the emotional pain and  trauma suffered by the Yitzhar community as a result of the destruction of 5 homes in their community. It is/was especially painful since the demolition was executed by orders of the leaders of the Jewish State and perceived as a betrayal especially among the youth, coming from orders from Defense Minister MosheYaalon.  Yaalon as well and Netanyahu are leaders who understand or should understand and show some empathy for those who share a deep love and connection with the Land of Israel.  These families are Israel's passionate Zionists, no different then the secular chalutzim who established the Kibbutzim in the early establishment of the State. Defense Minister Yaalon clearly knows that these families are not terrorists, and they do not educate/ indoctrinate their children from early childhood on, in glorifying Jihad and terrorists and suicide bombers and nor do they act violently against civilian populations or against the IDF. 

Quite the opposite.  They are proud IDF soldiers who love their fellow Jew, notwithstanding immoral orders of throwing  fellow Jewish bro's from their homes.  

So the IDF righteously stand passively by and let the" violent" settlers respond in a way that is consistent with a normal response with the destruction of ones home clearly after a provocative, immoral and criminal act and do not in any way address why 5 homes were demolished in such a cruel fashion. The photographers of those who wish us harm,  have a field day in "proving" that there is a "marginal, radical, violent group in Yitzhar" who are attacking  and causing "damage to its security forces, who are doing their job and enforcing the law".  

I would like to know.  Who takes responsibility for the destruction of the 5 homes by the hands of those security forces who are "doing their job and enforcing the law?"  Not Yaalon?  Not the IDF?   Who gave those orders to the Border Police????? Who should be held accountable and apologize to the Yitzhar community?   Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "We will act with zero tolerance against whoever harms IDF soldiers and their commanders. The assailants will pay for their criminal acts." 

Is it fair to ask the community of Yitzhar to act with restraint and tolerance while the "assailants" who destroyed a home and did their job " enforcing the law"  defended?  Surely it is not very difficult to judge the perpetrator, the kid who allegedly slashed the tire, with a bit more  compassion and understanding. Surely, these families should not have had  their homes demolished! http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/1.584563



Americans for a Safe Israel
 

April 24, 2014
   

   The news is abuzz with word of the accord between Hamas and Fatah which puts the final nails in the coffin of the "peace" talks between Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah and the Israelis. Now that Fatah has shown its true face of being one with terrorists, as many, along with AFSI members,  have long known, it is clear that American taxpayer money MUST stop being funneled into the PA purses. It is also crystal clear that only applying sovereignty to Judea, Samaria, the Jordan Valley, and any other disputed areas, will stop the world obeisance to Arab demands. The demonstration at the Temple Mount on Wednesday, where Jewish families were spat upon and threatened by Arab mobs, was a disgrace. Israel must assert its sovereignty over the Temple Mount and keep the Arab hordes from using it as their playground, picnic grounds, school yard, and private territory from which Jews are banned. The situation is out of control and must be reversed. 
           Please see the link to Arutz Sheva today, Thursday, April 24, with numerous articles on the above subjects:
           As you know, we have been fighting the BDS groups and protesting against their inclusion in the parade by the sponsors,  UJA/Federation/JCRC. Edwin Black, famous author and journalist, recently interviewed our Judy Kadish and JCC Watch leader Richard Allen, for his article on the subject. Link to article 

   The announcements of the upcoming demonstrations, protests, and meetings, require your immediate attention and participation. After noting them, please put the dates into your calendar to ensure your participation, and RSVP to AFSI for the special April 30 event at Mark Langfan's home.
