Fwd: Chilling Reports on Obama and Iran. Sanctions on Iran lifted.

bs"d
 
Esteemed Rabbanim, Honorable Knesset Members, Journalists, Fellow Activists and Friends, , amv"sh
 
Are you aware of this? Please report and share!  If this news is accurate, and it comes from a reliable source, surely Obama can not be trusted to keep America nor Israel safe.  When we still have a chance to expose him don't turn a blind eye. 
 
The Holocaust happened because nobody stopped Hitler Yemach Shemo VeZichro in time.  By the time Morgenthau spoke up it was too little too late. The American Jewish community in the 1930s and 1940s could not find the moral fortitude to unite and stop it from happening. 
 
Perhaps they were afraid of Antisemitism rearing its ugly head at them. Perhaps they did not want to risk their political clout and funding.
 
Back to present.  Aipac is promoting Obama's agenda!!!!  
 
OMG. 
 
 Aipac and the Jewish Community in the Diaspora must work together, with all its resources in Media, Politics. networking etc. to expose Obama's agenda. 
 
When one like Obama,  has clearly shown that he has endangered those under his command knowingly and purposefully and  there is reason to believe his leadership is endangering the world,  it must be addressed. It can not be ignored or treated as if it will disappear miraculously.
 
Netanyahu, in partnership with Influential Jews in America, and that includes us all,  need to know that the time has come to publicly denounce and reject Obama's current diplomacy strategies of continued talks and negotiation with a deceptive Iran while enabling them to move full speed ahead towards developing nuclear capability. Furthermore, declarations of remorse for supporting the "peace process" which has proven to be a dismal failure is long overdue.  Please read Caroline Glick and convince the Jerusalem Post to allow her to syndicate. Her message should not be contained.  It's time for Israel and Jews and Righteous Gentiles to cut our losses and start with a new narrative. No 2 State Solution and NO Peace Process. .  The Jewish people, Israel a Jewish country, by all accounts should be Sovereign in our Land including all of Judea and Samaria which is clearly within the delineated boundaries of our Biblical Homeland.
 
Each of us must do our part. If you are a journalist, get Rachel Ehrenfeld  published.  Mainstream Jewish Print news generally refuses to put in any news that is very damning to Obama. It is usually cushioned in such a way putting him in a neutral or even positive light. Such Online news  from sources from Artuz7, Afsi, David Horowitz Freedom Center, Sally Zahav posts, UCI posts, David Bedein - Israel Resource Center, TZC newsletter,  Act for America, Gatestone, Yesha Bulletin, Women in Green, Mattot Arim,    PMW, Love of the Land  posts- Yosef and Melody Hartuv, Steven Shamrack, Eretz Yisroel Shelanu, Ted Belman, CJHSLA, Jewishpress.com, Algemeiner.com, Think Israel,   posts etc etc. are not making it into mainstream papers. Who is controlling what gets published?  How are decisions decided as per what gets printed? Unfortunately, the majority of Jews, let alone nonJews, are clueless and still trust our President to keep America and Israel safe because they are shielded from such aggravating news in mainstream media and often not made aware of the precarious state we fnd ourselves by their Rabbis and  Spiritual Leaders and mentors...In fact, usually, activism is discouraged with the feeling of displaced humility and hopelessness.  Who am I to enact change.  What can little me accomplish in this terrible mess the world is in? When this is our collective response it is no wonder that Obama is still in the White House and Iran unchecked.
 
Furthermore, let each and every one of us resolve to withhold our checks and funding to Jewish organizations who promote BDS and let our Rabbanim and spiritual leaders know that we expect them to carry a greater leadership role.  Surely it is fitting for them to publicize G-D's Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and to their seed, the People of Israel re: their everlasting connection and rights with the Land of Israel.  Surely this will with the help of the Almighty, usher in an age of peace and prosperity for the benefit of humanity.
 
 When called to task many Rabbis claim they are not political and refuse to make "political statements" and thereby wrongfully mistake taking a Torah stand as political.  Why is it however that right before elections, their board members are holding fundraisers for candidates?
 
Jews should promote Torah NOT empower Sharia.  They are mutually exclusive. Torah is a common denominator and the 7 Noahide Laws speak to all Righteous Gentiles.  The people of Israel are entrusted to  bring the Truth of Torah to the world. As we prayed for on Rosh Hashana, all will recognize that G-d is our King. A Loving and Just King.  Not a ruthless despot. 
 
True we are hampered by risk of being excluded from  mainstream and branded as radical.  We even may risk our job and our livelihood.  But what alternative do we have? 
 
 Any person with any influence, and that includes all of us, must exercise it.
 
 Let us learn from our mistakes.   Chag Sameach.

 Obama's new red line is now Iran. We know that his Syrian red line on the use of chemical weapons, apparently one that he said he hadn't even set,  faded into oblivion. He took no responsibility for what he then labeled as the world's red line regarding WMD. Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, the featured speaker at the Sept. 16 AFSI meeting, gave a chilling talk about Obama's ties to Iran. See the enclosed article:
   
  
Is a "Tehran Moment" in Obama's Future? 
by Rachel Ehrenfeld
  
 

 
If it were not for Iran's former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs, Obama would have probably made a deal with Iran a long time ago. Now it seems that Washington's acceptance of Russia's scheme to dispose of Syria's chemical weapons is part of Obama plan for a grand rapprochement with Iran.

The September 9 disclosure by Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif that Washington has been in direct communications with Tehran and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announcement regarding "[t]his administration's commitment to reinforcing ties between the Iranian and American people" were the prelude for Obama's September 14 confirmation that he had "exchanged letters with new Iranian President Hassan Rohani."

This exchange is just the latest in Obama's attempts to befriend the regime. Soon after he settled in at the White House, Obama, in an unprecedented video appeal to the Iranian people on Nowruz (the Iranian new year, March 20, 2009), proposed to end the decades-long animosity between the U.S. and Iran and offered a "new beginning." Obama said he wanted to "speak directly to the people and leaders of the Islamic Republic of to make clear his desire to establish constructive ties" between the two countries.
  
But Ali Khamenei was not impressed. Nonetheless, advised by Trita Parsi (president of the National Iranian American Council), Obama waited ten days before condemning the violent crackdown of the regime on the June 2009 election protestors.

Obama continued to issue "warnings" to Iran, but has not done much to stop its nuclear enrichment program.  The sanctions on Iran have hurt the Iranian economy. But the sanction regime and enforcement mechanism have had more holes than an Emmentaler Swiss cheese--holes and exemptions that have allowed Iran to continue to trade and export its oil. The revenues from these activities sufficed not only to pay for the nuclear program, but also to overcome a few cyber-hacking (Stuxnet) setbacks.
  
Ali Khamenei's choice in Hassan Rowhani as successor to Ahmadinejad proves that he "gets" Obama. 
 
Electing the Western-educated, scholarly looking, seasoned nuclear negotiator Rowhani as Iran's new "moderate" president was a good move. Rowhani is as committed to Iran's nuclear program as his predecessor. But this allegedly "moderate reformer" is better at delivering double-speak messages to further the Iranian deception. 
 
Yesterday, Rowhani in a televised speech stated that Iran would support whomever the Syrian people elect as president, even if it is not Bashar Assad. This "democratic" sounding statement surely fell on Obama's attentive ears. All the while, Iranian Revolutionary Guards have been fighting alongside the Assad government against the rebels. An inconvenient fact that the U.S. chooses to ignore, as it also refrains from protesting Iran's extensive training and sending of Shiites from and all over the world to fight alongside Bashar's forces in Syria. 
Rowhani's appointment of mostly Western-educated former diplomats and bureaucrats to his government succeeded in creating the impression that Iran is becoming more moderate and is ready to renew the process of talks with West. 
  
"Process" is the key word. The process that goes on in perpetuity achieves the following: The Iranians agree to talk but demand concessions to come to the table. When they get them, they join the talks only to obtain more concessions, but always walk away from the table because their demands were not met. All the while the clock on their nuclear weapons program keeps on ticking along nicely.

In advance of Rowhani's visit to New York on September 26 to attend the U.N. General Assembly, OFAC declared last week that it had lifted sanctions on Iran to allow for a "broader range of activities by non-government organizations, to expedite the provision of health services, disaster relief,wildlife conservation [emphasis added] and human rights projects in the country." OFAC also lifted sanctions on "imports and exports of services related to professional and amateur sporting activities" between the U.S. and Iran. Who knows? Perhaps this assistance would persuade Revolutionary Guard members to leave their uniforms behind to join Iran's shooting team for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. What we know, however, is that the money spigot from the U.S. can now directly help Iran to complete is nuclear program.

But why would Obama help Iran? After all, nuclear Iran presents a real danger to the U.S., not only to Israel and Saudi Arabia. 
 
If Obama's "me first" leadership style is any indication, it would not be unreasonable to assume that in return for his gestures to Iran, he would ask Rowhani to reciprocate with an invitation to visit Tehran. This, as Obama's logic seems to go, would ensure that that visit to Iran will reserve his place in history next to Nixon's visit to China. And if Iran decides to use its nuclear weapons, hopefully that deluge would happen après Obama.

Iran's "invisible army" in Latin America
 Although the immigration issue has been pushed out of the headlines for now, it's still an issue that has enormous consequences for our national security.

Please read the chilling article below. This is another reason why we are calling on Congress to protect our national security before doing anything else on immigration.

If you haven't already signed our petition to Congress, it's not too late to add your name!

Iran Aggressively Recruiting 'Invisible Army' of Latin American Converts to Infiltrate U.S. Through 'Soft Belly' of the Southern Border



Iran is recruiting an "invisible army" of revolutionary sympathizers in Latin America to infiltrate the U.S. through the "soft belly" of the southern border, U.S. officials and national security experts told TheBlaze. And they're using one website in particular to do it.

The Iranian regime's conversion efforts are becoming increasingly aggressive, especially over the Internet, with the goal of conducting operations against United States interests in the Western Hemisphere, according to U.S. government officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the nature of their work in the region.

Obama Love of the Muslim Brotherhood?- Blind to Terror and disregards genocide of Coptic Christians - Impeach Obama

  1. August 20, 2013: Horrific by Arlene Kushner http://www.arlenefromisrael.info/current-postings/2013/8/20/august-20-2013-horrific.html Please see this article -- "BLIND TO TERROR: The US Government's Disastrous Muslim Outreach Efforts and the Impact on US Middle East Policy." This is from the Gloria Center, headed by Barry Rubin, and is written by counterterrorism consultant Patrick S. Poole http://www.gloria-center.org/2013/06/the-u-s-governments-disastrous-muslim-outreach-efforts-and-the-impact-on-u-s-middle-east-policy-blind-to-terror1/

  3. Christians: On the Front Lines of Muslim Violence by Noah Beck
    http://frontpagemag.com/2013/noah-beck/christians-on-the-front-lines-of-muslim-violence/ As Egypt's Islamists blame Christians for the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, anti-Christian violence has reached epidemic levels, with an estimated 82 churches across Egypt attacked and heavily damaged by Morsi supporters in a mere 48 hours... As you read this, Christians around the world are being murdered, raped, plundered, abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, or otherwise oppressed by Muslims. Christians in Muslim-majority areas are some of the most vulnerable and horribly oppressed people on Earth; they live at the mercy of the mob and receive little or no protection from the police or other government institutions.

Boaz Albert of Yitzhar Police Brutality:Violent Yitzhar Arrest Caught on Video, Court orders Boaz Albert Released. Is Boaz Albert a peace sacrifice Israel has to make for Kerry's sake?

 

 

bs"d

Friends, These are facts on the ground, one little example of realities that come as a result of Israel's participation in the "Peace Process" negotiations and refusal to proclaim Judea and Samaria as part of our Biblical Jewish Homeland.

    Re: "Releasing Murderers" 5 Towns Jewish Times cover page story by Larry Gordon

    bs"d
     
    Dear Larry, amv"sh
     
    Thanks for your well written and thought out front page article in this weeks 5 Towns Jewish Times issue August 16, 2013.
     
     It seems from what you wrote and what Arlene Kushner wrote see below, that Netanyahu does respond to the realities of pressure from his right wing coalition and Kerry clearly understands that reality. That is why we can stop the pressure by pressuring back.  Please read till the end.
     
    So Kerry does what he can, and pressures when he can. He panders to the Arabs and he panders to the Jews.  
     
    It seems to me, and it wasn't clear to me if you agree  that Kerry and America don't really care about  places like Maaleh Adumim, Efrat and Bet El.  I aree with Arlene Kushner that Netanyahu told Kerry that in order to agree to release the terrorists, he has to pacify his right wing coalition with something. Announcement of approval of construction in these areas (which in the past has been promised but never delivered according to MK Eldad) was to Kerry an unfortunate but  necessary bribe. Apparently Netanyahu wants to make the right wing happy by "approving" the constructions but will he ever actualize them?   Helen Freedman Director of Afsi writes:
     
    "We also knew that the PEACE OF THE GRAVE was what the PLO was hoping would be Israel's destiny. Now, 20 years later, once agian "peace" talks are being held. This time they are behind closed doors for fear of rioting that might erupt from one side or another if details of the "peace" emerged. We have already had the release of 26 brutal Arab murderers who have been celebrated by their people for their "heroism" and "martyrdom" in bludgeoning, knifing, burning, and blowing up innocent Israelis. More releases are set to follow as "good-will gestures" demanded by President Obama. Housing Minister Uri Ariel has announced the building of houses and apartments in Gilo, in east Jerusalem. This announcement has been met with outrage by the Arabs. No fear. The same houses were supposed to have been built last year, as we learned from former MK Dr. Arieh Eldad. Nothing happened. The same "nothing" may happen again, which is possibly why Secretary of State Kerry has asked PM Abbas not to cancel the talks because of the terrible "obstacles to peace" created by building in the "settlements," which just happen to be part of greater Jerusalem. It's 20 years. What has changed?
     
    Larry you write the following but I believe it's wishful thinking on your part:
     
    " Even Secretary Kerry, while calling all setllement "illegitimate" said this week there was an understanding between the parties that the announcement on construction in Judea and Samaria and Eastern Jerusalem would proceed as scheduled.  So even though the Palestinian officals vociferously protested the announcement of the construction it was all choreographed and played out for the purpose of internal Arab consumption.  It's nothing more than additonal Arab disingenuousness and duplicity.
     
    So, Mr. Kerry and the Americans agree at this stage that Israel, at minimum and as part of any future agreement, should stay put in places like Maaleh Adumim, Efrat, Bet El, and other areas known as the major settlement blocks where over 70 percent of the settlement population resides"
     
    Arlene Kushner writes: 
     
    "It was clear as it might be then that there had been an understanding between Kerry and Netanyahu. I can imagine Netanyahu telling Kerry that the only way he could pull off the prisoner release was if he made the right wing of his government happy by approving building. And indeed, subsequently Kerry acknowledged that Netanyahu had told him forthrightly that since there was no agreement with regard to a building freeze there would be building.
    This is what he said yesterday (emphasis added):
    "Let me make it clear: The policy of the United States of America with respect to all settlements is that they are illegitimate, and we oppose settlements taking place at any time, not just the time of the peace process.
    But – here's the but – that said, Prime Minister Netanyahu was completely upfront with me and with President Abbas that he would be announcing some additional building that would take place in places that will not affect the peace map, that will not have any impact on the capacity to have a peace agreement. That means that it is building within the so-called blocs in areas that many people make a presumption – obviously not some Palestinians or others – will be part of Israel in the future. He has specifically agreed not to disturb what might be the potential for peace going forward.
    Now, we still believe it would be better not to be doing it, but there are realities within life in Israel that also have to be taken into account here going forward.
     
    Arlene continues:
    "I note here that he says that Abbas was informed of this, and so we can assume that all the PA grandstanding is just that. What is more, that they lied when they said, as they did, that Kerry promised that there would be no building."
     
    Larry and Arlene.  Who knows if they lied?  Maybe Kerry secretly did promise there would be no building but to pacify the Right in Netanyahus gov't they got from Israel an announcement of  "approval" for construction? Maybe Kerry convinced the Arabs that no real construction would actually happen and that Netanyahu needed to appease his coalition with getting an approval for construction in these areas but  will it really actualize?

     
    Larry, in my opinion it's not just PA grandstanding. 
     
    Facts on the ground are in fact created by this charade. There are Karbanot. Real sacrifices.
     
    Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover just emailed their list alerting them to the cruel arrest of  a settler Boaz Albert of Yitzhar.

    Arutz 7 article: they shocked him again and again http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/170975

    Yitzhar couple: we will disobey the expulsion order: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/170836
     Larry, Can even one expulsion be tolerated by Torah Jews let alone thousands or tens of thousands of expulsions or hundreds of thousands of expulsions from the 30 percent of the population in Judea and Samaria not living in major settlement blocs? How about one terror victim as a result of a released terrorist?
     
    And more facts on the ground:  There is the $$$$$ reality created as a result of promoting a lie of Palestinians being "legitimate" and that Israel are illigitimate "occupiers" of Palistinian Land. To the tune of billions of dollars..... being given to the PA and taken away from Israel by supporters and promoters of BDS.


    Please read: Arabs Offer Israel Peace: The Peace of the Grave by VICTOR SHARPEOctober 6, 2011 http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10524,css.print/pub_detail.asp#ixzz2c7JS9NTH

    US Quietly Backed EU Settlement Sanctions http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/08/14/report-us-quietly-backed-eu-settlement-sanctions/


    American officials have denied knowing in advance about the EU's plans–which were made public shortly before Secretary of State John Kerry announced the resumption of Israeli negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.

    During a closed-door meeting between Kerry and American Jewish leaders, Kerry reportedly said that the move hindered progress on Israeli-Palestinian talks.

    However, according to Ha'aretz, senior State Department officials said that the publication of the guidelines before the restart of negotiations bolstered Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, making it easier for him to agree to hold talks despite Israel's refusal to freeze settlement construction. At the same time, the move pressured Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into agreeing to talks for fear of Israel's international isolation increasing were he not to do so.
    Not to mention the lie being spread throughout the world that Israel is the Occupier and that the settlements are illegitimate.
    It's unnerving that this Foreign Minister in Brazil finds the settlements in Judea and Samaria so relevant for his country.
    FOREIGN MINISTER PATRIOTA: (Via interpreter) Just briefly, at the same time that we support the efforts of Secretary Kerry and we are bringing up to the table the Israeli and Palestinian negotiation, we do – we do – we are against the Palestinian settlements, which are done against the UN Security Council resolutions, and they do represent a violation of the international law. We do consider that this kind of fact will not contribute for creating a propitious environment for the understandings of the whole international community, and Brazil specifically would love to see coming at the end of this nine month period time upon which negotiators will be working.

    Let me also mention that I have encouraged Secretary Kerry to give more relief to the participation of the civil society in Israel and the Palestine along this peacemaking process. I was well impressed when I visited the region last year in October and when I saw that in the – among the civil society on both ends there are voices that are quite committed to peace and they do convey messages which are a bit different from the ones we're used to seeing. These messages are in repudiation of violence and consumed facts and the establishment of settlements, which are not favorable for the understanding for peace.

     
    We can no longer turn a blind eye that Obama's allegiance is with the Muslim Brotherhood and not with America nor the Coptic Christians whose lives are being threatened daily, attacked ever since the Muslim Brotherhood came into power and now even more so, and in terrible danger.  Yet, within the last 12 hours Obama defends the Muslim Brotherhood right to be in the Egyptian gov't.  Obama condemns Egypt over violence, cancels joint military exercise http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/15/20033815-obama-condemns-egypt-over-violence-cancels-joint-military-exercise?
     
    The Muslim Brotherhood ideology which drives Hamas and Fatah is the same as the Nazis.    Yet they are being empowered, validated and rewarded by the world, Obama and company as well.
     
    Our only hope of Salvation comes from the Almighty!

    Let us put counterpressure on Netanyahu via his MK's and by Hamonei Am, and the Jewish People world wide so that Kerry understands that Netanyahu's right wing coalition might fall apart if he pressures too much.
     
    This can best be accomplished by uniting Jews all over the world supported by righteous Gentiles - Noahites and believers of the Bible, to proclaim the Truth.
     
    Judea and Samaria is the Biblical Heartland of Israel.
     
    Jerusalem, namely Temple Mount, is the Holiest Site for Jews and must be under Jewish Sovereignty and not the Waqf so that the prophecies in Isaiah reach fruition.
     
    This will usher in an era of peace and prosperity to the world. Amen Ken Yehi Ratzon (Amen and so it shall be G-d's will)

    Fwd: Op-Ed: American Friends of Lubavitch Crown Heights Women For The Safety and Integrity of Israel protest American Friends of Lubavitch presence at the August 8, 2013 briefing with Secretary of State John Kerry on the “peace process”


    B"H

    Crown Heights Women For The Safety and Integrity of Israel protest American Friends of Lubavitch presence a    t the August 8, 2013 briefing with Secretary of State John Kerry on the "peace process"
    by Tamar Adelstein, coordinator
    Crown Hts d for the Safety and Integrity of Israel
    Crown Heights

    Two weeks ago     Crown Heights Women for the Safety and Integrity of Israel organized a press conference in response to the news that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his Cabinet had voted to release 104 Arab terrorists as a goodwill gesture with the intention of enticing Israel's enemies, the Palestinians, into a new round of peace talks.

    Held on Second Avenue across from the Israeli Consulate in Manhattan, representatives from all of the well-known pro-Israel activist groups were present delivering speech after speech denouncing both the folly and the dangers involved by, once again, caving into Arab and foreign pressure on Israel to concede its welfare and security.

    Because we are     proud followers of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and believe the positions he reiterated throughout his leadership about Israel's security are not only Halachically correct but have proven prophetically true over and over again, we were shocked to learn that last Thursday evening American Friends of Lubavitch joined other major Jewish organizations at an invitation-only meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry about the "peace process".

    The Lubavitcher Rebbe consistently advised Israeli and Jewish leaders not to engage in negotiations, let alone actually concede territory.  Additionally, the Rebbe warned that even raising the possibility of surrendering land would place Jewish lives in danger.

    Who among Lubavitcher Chassidim does not recall the Rebbe's public gathering on Shavuous in 1967 just days after the miraculous victory of the Six Day War.  Then the Rebbe cried out that Israeli politicians were busy convincing an incredulous Washington that Israel had no interest in keeping the liberated territories and was ready to return every thing it had won. 

    At the time no one could possibly understand what the Rebbe was talking about.  The very idea of it was simply preposterous.  But, indeed, that was what was taking place and since then successive Israeli and Jewish leaders have waged a campaign of dangerous concessions that have only served to increase opportunities for the enemy to foment war and terrorism.  Israel's misguided policies have culminated in the tragic loss of life and maiming of its Jewish citizens     not to mention millions of dollars in property damage.  In addition, thousands upon thousands of Israelis suffer from varying levels of post trauma and stress disorders.
     
     Moreover, Israeli concessions like the utterly evil expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif in 2005, did not bring about the vaunted peace they claimed it would nor did it produce greater respect from American and European world bodies.  Instead it brought Hamas and  Al Qaeda to the Gaza Strip, caused two more wars, and increased terrorism a hundred fold against Jews living in Southern Israel. 

    At times the Lubavitcher Rebbe was so distraught over Israeli concessions that he proclaimed "one should bang his fist on the table if necessary, because the very lives of Jews are at stake." (from 19 Kislev 5743/1982 gathering)

    How then can it be that American Friends of Lubavitch attended the meeting last week with Mr. Kerry?   At the "off the record briefing", the Secretary of State along with National Security Adviser Susan Rice and special envoy Martin Indyk told the group that it was a "strategic imperative" to arrive at a deal soon for if not he "feared" for Israel's future should no deal be reached.  Mr. Kerry asked for American Jewish organizational "support" for this diplomatic effort worrying that without it, Jewish and Israeli right wing parties might sway Netanyahu away from a deal.

    John Kerry's "strategic imperative" will place the welfare and security of the millions of Jews who live in Israel in jeopardy and could easily cause negative repercussions for the millions of Jews abroad, G-d Forbid.  Withdrawing from Yehuda and Shomron will leave the entire surrounding areas like Tel Aviv, the Galil, the southern coastal cities and the Negev vulnerable immediately to attack and terrorism.

    Israeli politicians are well aware of this and yet they deliberately ignore what every military expert has confirmed:  that political solutions endanger lives!  Yet, "even though they already ceded land, all is not lost for they can still take it back - by stating firmly the truth that their compromises and concessions have eroded the country's security and harmed the welfare of all its Jewish citizens - (excerpts from a public gathering given by the Rebbe in Tishrei 1979)

    Familiar to every Lubavitcher is the Rebbe's unwavering belief that establishing Jewish communities quickly and all at once in a quiet but determined manner - especially in those places most disputed is the only way to negate the on-going pressure (19 Kislev 5739/1979)  and bring true peace to Israel and the Middle East.

    How then can it be that American Friends of Lubavitch attended last week's meeting?  What justification can these individuals, who represent Agudas Chassidei Chabad and have been prominent shluchim for decades, give for going there?  Their presence may have given the false impression that the Lubavitcher Rebbe and the rest of Chabad/Lubavitch Chassidim changed course and now endorse land for peace and "goodwill" gestures like the release of Arab killers of Jewish children, women and men, r"l! 

    Their participation certainly leaves the good Jews living in Yehuda and Shomron disheartened and confused for they know the Rebbe was always their biggest supporter.  And what of the family and friends of the victims murdered by these evil Arab killers - can we even begin to imagine their pain, r"l? 

    And, finally, American Friends of Lubavitch participation undermines the P'sak Din issued by Lubavitcher Rav Yosef Gerlitzky and his Pikuach Nefesh Rabbinical organization in Israel.  Their ruling stipulated that it is forbidden to release the 104 Arab terrorists, to engage in negotiations, and calls on HaBayit HaYehudi to immediately quit the government.

    It is our sincere hope that American Friends of Lubavitch will distance themselves from any efforts that undermine Israel's security.  We encourage  American Friends of Lubavitch to join forces with Rav Gerlitzky, Israeli shluchim, and groups like ours in standing by the welfare of the Jewish People and promoting the Lubavitcher Rebbe's recommendations for true peace in the Middle East.
