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.
