Tenenboms Continue AFSI's ISRAEL @ 70 Speaker Series with Great Success!! | | Judy Kadish delivers introduction | | | AFSI was pleased to present acclaimed author, Tuvia Tenenbom, and his wife and muse, Isi, as guest speakers on Monday night, May 7, at the Manhattan East Synagogue in NYC. Rabbi Elie Abadie graciously agreed to host the event at his Synagogue, and he was in the audience of close to 100 people, as they listened attentively to Tuvia and Isi.
Tuvia's latest book, HELLO, REFUGEES! speaks to the refugee situation that he and Isi discovered in Germany. Although Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel opened up her arms to the refugees, the government and the people were not consulted about this welcoming position. The Teneboms found the refugees housed in containers converted into sleeping areas. Toilets, running water, and ventilation were not to be found. When the refugees were moved, after about a year, into "homes", these were not much better than the containers. Tuvia was told that HISTORY was the reason for opening the gates. Germans proclaimed, "We are not like the Jews - like Israel. They are sub-human." Tragically, every opportunity to tarnish Israel and the Jews is used to do so. The Tenenboms found that the Germans were more anti-Semitic than the Muslim refugees, but were concerned with representing themselves as "nice".
Reference was made to the infiltrators from Eritrea and Sudan who have invaded south Tel Aviv. Once again, the progressives, who advocate for the refugees, as long as they remain "over there" and not "here", amongst them, create an intolerable situation.
Isi spoke positively about Israel being the safe spot, as is the eye of the hurricane. She declared that the dangerous hatred comes from the left, with the right-wingers being more pro-Israel. She concluded by deploring the self-hating Jews in the U.S., Germany, and Israel. They defy understanding.
A lively Q&A followed the presentation, with Rabbi Abadie making some concluding remarks.
This is just one of AFSI's programs dedicated to Israel @ 70. Stay tuned for information about our next event. | | America is OUT of the Iran Deal!!
Today, May 8, 2018, President Trump announced that the U.S. is withdrawing from the JCPOA – the "deal" with Iran, which was NOT a treaty, but an AGREEMENT, which former President Obama pushed through, in order to strengthen Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
The "deal" was supposed to protect the world against the building by Iran of its nuclear bomb, BUT, it allowed the continuing enrichment of uranium, the lifting of sanctions, and the building of ballistic missiles which could deliver nuclear warheads. President Trump cited Israel as showing the history of Iran's building of the nuclear bomb. The billions of dollars that Obama gave to Iran did not go to the Iranian people, but into Iran's military budget which has grown by 40% since the "deal."
President Trump spoke about the efforts to work with France, Germany, England, and the Middle Eastern states to have them cooperate in this withdrawal from the "deal," which he describes as a decaying, defective, rotten structure.
He concluded his talk by reaching out to the eight million Iranian people, who he described as suffering for the past forty years since the dictatorship took power. He said the Iranian people are entitled to a nation that does honor to its history. He is hoping that a new understanding with Iran will accomplish that, as well as bringing peace and stability to the Middle East.
At the end of his talk, he sat down to sign a memorandum on economic sanctions that would be placed on Iran and on countries that would do business with Iran. He concluded, "America will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail." | | Trump and Mattis's Grand Strategy in Syria
From the ashes of the catastrophic Obama's "Iran-First" years, and at almost no cost in American precious blood and treasure, President Trump and Secretary of Defense Mattis have executed what I called "rock-paper-scissors-shoot" strategy.
