Safeguard Israel Ad Campaign - We need a different kind of ad in my opinion

bs"d

Dear Nadia and Yehudit, amv"sh

You know how much I love you and what you do!  There is no one is Israel that does more for ERetz Yisroel then WOMEN IN GREEN WIG.  I am the first person to support your campaigns. I am not against raising $28,000 for an ad campaign. 

However, I have no faith in our ability to convince Bibi and therefore I don't think this ad campaign will work. (see attachment of ad)  I do hope that Bibi will do Teshuva but  my expectations based on his past history is that he won't.

I have no expectations of convincing the Gedoilim as well. Based on their past history my expectations are that they won't.

Our campaign therefore is to get the people to scream out in a forceful way that Eretz Yisroel is our Biblical inheritance, our gift from Hashem and no elected or spiritual leader has the authority or mandate to act otherwise to annul G-ds Covenant with the Jewish people..

Each individual must safeguard Eretz Yisroel by supporting settlement in Eretz Yisroel in whatever individual capacity they have.  No one can leave this  job to a political official be it a prime minister or a Rav  who masquerades politics behind Torah.

Signing the petition is a simple non costly act and we can build up a database of people that love Eretz Yisroel.

Please help promote it.

 Raising money or donating money to an ad that proclaims our entitlement is another way.  Helping a family or business in Yesha or partnering with them is another way etc.

Our job as activists  is to be mezakeh the Rabim, making the nation worthy of the Land by an expression, verbal and with facts on the ground of  our collective desire and longing for the Land of Israel and for her commandments.  Then G-d will be on our side and He is all powerful to fight for us and defend us from our enemies.

Yasher Koach and may Hashem guide us!

Campaign of the National Camp for Eretz Yisroel Fwd: Petition is starting to grow, please re-send to your lists!

Dear Fellow activists, amv"sh

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/1eys/petition.html

There are several campaigns currently underway on behalf of Eretz Yisroel.  Our campaign has been going on for some time.  We have been asking the public to contact their Rabbanim for a while.  The time has come for people to take this seriously and act upon it.  The major Torah organizations and media have influence over hundreds of thousands of caring Jews!  It is a grass roots campaign to address the Gedolei Hador and the major Jewish Torah Organizations to speak out forcefully on behalf of Yehudah and the Shomron and against a Palestinian State. The Silence is a Chillul Hashem, a desecration of G-ds name.  In  February 2008 the following campaign was conducted to contact the Agudath Yisroel of America and the OU and the YI to speak out for Yehuda and the Shomron. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2008/02/timetodo4israel-action-campaign-just.html.  The message is more or less the same.

This past week  appearing in Hamodia page B21 did you know that there was a picture of  Ambassador Cunningham, Ambassador of the United States together with Rav Eliashiv and Rav Efrati. The article said that Rav Eliashiv greeted him warmly and gave him his blessings.  The Ambassador said that the US is looking forward to Netanyahus visit to the US...

DOESN'T this picture send a clear message to the Jewish People that Rav Eliashiv is supportive of a Palestinian State??????

In response to this meeting with Ambassador, we are starting a campaign to unite all those that are against a Palestinian State especially those that are the leaders in the struggle to settle Yehudah and Shomron  to insist that they too have a meeting with Rav Eliashiv and their picture be shown in  Hamodia and Rav Eliashiv greeting them warmly and bestowing upon them his blessings. 

Women in Green, you who are involved in building Shdema and call for resettling Gush Katif, Yad Yair and have been establishing facts on the ground don't you deserve the proper recognition you deserve?  A picture with Rav Eliashiv  would get us the recognition we require without even an expensive Ad campaign even though an Ad campaign on buses gets the attention of the people.   A picture with Rav Eliashiv  in the paper doesn't cost anything because it is news. .

 If Rav Eliashiv is hesitant to meet with women then please let Rav Eliashiv meet openly with Yaakov Katz of the the National Union, with  the hilltop youth and each and every one of the mayors and Roshei Yeshivoth in the Yishuvim in Yehuda and the Shomron,  Then our message will come across very clear.  Eretz Yisroel is our Biblical inheritance.  The hilltop youth represent Torah.

Dear Activists, Please expect a phone call from Shmuel Koenig who is working with us diligently and persistently to unite the activists to speak in a unified voice of Torah proclaring that the Land of Israel is our gift from G-d and our Biblical inheritance.  Shmuel Koenig will ask you if you would like to be included in a meeting with Rav Eliashiv and if you have any suggestions on how we can get an audience with  Rav Eliashiv please do so. We are very open to suggestions.  Perhaps you have some personal connections or political clout or suggestions.  Perhaps a series of phone calls to his office might do the trick since quiet diplomacy hasn't worked.  Years ago, we were told that he wasn't well etc.      True he is late in his 90's bli ayin hara, amv"sh but that didn't stop him from meeting with Cunningham this past month.  

Let our petition reach hundreds of thousands before Yom Yerushalayim. Two years ago at the Agudah Convention, there was a declaration by Agudah for a united Jerusalem.  Yet when Condeleeza Rice, made it clear that Jerusalem was to be divided there was Silence even when Rav Eliashiv instructed Rav Perlow, that it was good to publicize that Jerusalem must not be divided.  How come we haven't heard much regarding this matter and of Rav Eliashiv's position?

Please don't ask who else is joining this campaign before passing it along.  If you join then others will join.  If you hesitate then others will hesitate.  do you agree with the wording.  If so, what fear do you have in signing it?

Many of you have already signed this  petition or a similar one.  There is more than one verson. So if your name does not appear, sign again.This one will be the one that is distributed most widely.    Please include your email address  so that we get a working database of activists. Please forward to your lists  Even if the wording is not exactly the way you would have phrased it, let's not stand on semantics in order that we build in numbers and make a real difference.

Also, On May 20th Rabbi Richman and his wife Rena will be on his way back to Jerusalem after meeting with Bnei Noahides throughout the States. .  Rabbi/Mayor  Moshe Goldsmith and his wife Lea  from Itamar  are on their way from Itamar.  We hope that their paths will cross in JFK. We want to take this opportunity to have an activist meeting and perhaps make a press conference to state a Torah Rabbinic ruling against a Palestinian State . If you wish to attend and be a part of this  meeting please let me know.  IF you know of any Rabbis that would be willing to participate please let us know.  Impress upon each and every Rav that his physical presence is greatly appreciated. Please note that Netanyahu will be in town starting May 18th and he might be sending a very different message  G-d forbid in favor of a Palestinian State if there is reciprocity.  We emphasize entitlement!. Even with reciprocity, the Land of Israel is our entitlement!

Subject: NEW BOOK BY AARON KLEIN ON MORTAL DANGERS FACING ISRAEL
To: IZZY <israelkaplan@yahoo.com>

A crucial new book was released this week that every supporter of Israel must read. It's called "The Late Great State of Israel ." (link: http://www.amazon.com/Late-Great-State-Israel-Threaten/dp/1935071084) In the book, author and WorldNetDaily.com Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein documents the unprecedented, mortal danger that Israel faces.  The subtitle of the book – released as Israel celebrates its independence – reads, "How enemies within and without threaten the Jewish nation's survival." "The greatest threat, the one that magnifies all others exponentially, is that only a few in Israel or abroad are aware of the real extent of the dangers facing the Jewish country – both from within and without," writes Klein. The book is a clarion call for all supporters of Israel . The great Mideast democracy is headed down a road that, if not altered, may result in catastrophe, warns Klein. Klein pulls no punches, fingering the Israeli government as often being its own worst enemy. He also shows how policies from the Obama administration and international community harm Israel 's interests and how Iran , Hamas, Palestinian terrorists and a host of other players are poised to end the Mideast democracy once and for all. If Israel falls, America will be next in line, argues Klein. Among the highlights of "The Late Great State of Israel ." How the Israeli government has turned a blind eye as Islamic authorities physically erase archaeological evidence on the Temple Mount , including actual Temple artifacts. How Jerusalem ALREADY has been divided. Is Obama poised to legitimize Hamas terrorists? Plus, how Obama's Mideast policies, including talks with Iran and Syria , threaten the Jewish state and, ultimately, America . How Iran is positioning its proxies to wreck havoc on Israel while Tehran inches toward nuclear weapons. How Israel is waging a war against some of its own citizens who want the Jewish state to be defined by Jewish traditions and character. How the U.N. fuels a fake "refugee crisis" that directly threatens Israel 's existence. How and why Israel failed in its recent 22-day war in Gaza . How the U.S. funds and fuels Mideast terrorism How the news media is covering for terrorists and playing a dangerous lying game about the Mideast and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In doing so, how they are emboldening the enemies of the U.S. and Israel Israel's peace partner exposed; and much more. "Unless these perils are countered soon," writes Klein, "the only remnant of the Jewish country may soon be an epitaph: 'The Late, Great State of Israel .'"   IZZY KAPLAN 416 824 2858 416 256 2858 Check out my new blog http://israelonisrael.blogspot.com

Once again the world watches, as they did in 1930's !!!!!!   coming soon to a supermarket near you......   when they do it unopposed in one place, copy cats mushroom, and the event is cloned far and wide.   Note that the PARIS police did nothing.   unfortunately there are no subtitles to the french sound track, but you don't need words to see what is happening..     ==============================================================x From the city where police once happily aided the SS in ridding Paris of its Jews and is now host to an "Annual Intifada Festival" comes another economically destructive form of organized anti-Semitism:  Destroying products of Israeli origin.  And, in their historically lax defense of Jews and justice, the French police do absolutely nothing to prevent the destruction of private property, this time in a supermarket.    Similar actions are taking place  all over EUROPE, PARTICULARLY IN LONDON where extensive boycotts also include books written by Israeli authors. ========================================================x video shows ~50 Pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel Muslims and sympathizers in Paris as they DESTROYED ALL the Israeli products in a large supermarket, took control inside the supermarket and loudly urged the people to Boycott Israel products.   Click below to watch the March 8, 2009 anti-Israel demonstration in the French supermarket chain Carrefour:    www..youtube.com/watch?v=kfK7Yal64S0& ==========================================================x   IZZY KAPLAN 416 824 2858 416 256 2858 Check out my new blog http://israelonisrael.blogspot.com

Our Message to the World. Entitlement vs. Pikuach Nefesh

The Lubavitch Rebbe writes

 

TRUST IN G-D –
and you will have peace.

When the Jewish people will trust in G-d, that the Land of Israel belongs unequivocally to them, and are willing to declare this openly to the nations of the world, then "No one will contest the matter, and you will not need to go to war." In fact, even weapons will prove unnecessary…" The Rebbe, (Likutei Sichos, vol. 34, p. 8)

In the beginning, G-d created the Heavens and the Earth

What is the reason the Torah begins with Creation? Because if the nations of the world say to Israel: "You are robbers because you have conquered with force the lands of the nations of Canaan" Israel can answer: "He created it and gave it to whomever was proper in His eyes. Of His own will He gave it to them and of His own will He took it from them and gave it to us."

-- Rashi on Genesis 1:1

 

 Unless we address the root of the problem we can not cure the disease.  It just resurfaces. 

Addressing Pikuach Nefesh/security concerns and  the rockets facing us  is merely addressing the symptoms. 

Forget about PR and public opinion.  It's irrelevant.  Case in point. Mass public protest called for Jonathan Pollards' release and in the final analysis it didn't really make a difference.. The comment hotline was closed due to large volume of calls regarding this matter.  Many Congressman and Senators lobbied for Jonathan Pollard's release and it was all disregarded.  So the campaign was successful in that it generated an outcry for our position but nevertheless it ultimately failed  in its goal...at least in Bush's administration.
 
One can truthfully argue that after all, Obama is publicly addressing our security concerns.  Very responsibly in his opinion. Extremely responsibly. His solution is to  give money to moderate Fatah our partner in peace, and train their soldiers so that they can fight Hamas.  He is for appointing the UN  as our guardians to address our security concerns.   Now why do you want to waste your time arguing with Obama's proposed solutions. He gets counsel from the worlds  leading experts on the matter.  Mitchell, Hillary Cinton. Even Jewish ones like Rahm Emanuel. Bush was advised by Malcolm Hoenlein the leading expert on antisemitism. Do you honestly think that you know better than them?

 If entitlement is our claim then we stop Obama in his tracks before he can give us solutions on how to solve our Pikuach Nefesh/security concerns..  They know this and that is why they will demonize us for being religious extremists, fanatics, crazy Messianic extremists etc.  We must ignore this negative PR and put our faith in Hashem to help us.  We get negative PR anyway especially when we bend over backwards to get good PR.  Case in point - Jenin Massacre.

Unless we openly declare our entitlement, then Obama's administration united with the State Department will claim that the Arabs have the right to protect themselves as well. Go argue with them and waste your time trying to show that we are justified in fighting a moral war and they are not. The funding to support their position, way outnumbers our own.

That is why emphasizing entitlement  is the only answer.  We need not talk about the dangers we face from our enemies such as rockets in order to prevent further attacks.  However,  we must act on them.  We are justified in our actions in self defense when we emphasize our entitlement.  If one has entitlement then one is justified  and obligated to act in self defense for ones own survival.

But then they will cut off our funding for important matters such as fighting Iran and the nuclear threat you argue?

Well, my answer is that there was one Shemittah year that I didn't work all year and trust me, I didn't starve.  I gained 30 pounds.  G-d provided as he promised.  This is a practical, hands on  lesson in Emunah Peshuta which gives us the moral strength to withstand all economic sanctions placed upon us.  We depend on G-d and not on America for our security in spite of their threats and even implement to cut off funding..

 According to the Torah,  Ushavtem Betach Baaretz is the reward for keeping Shemittah and not the reward for placating Obama.

If the Chareidim claim that we have been keeping Shemittah properly, then I would argue then where is the security? Where was the feeling of Shabbat Haaretz when prices of produce sky rocketed?  Is buying from Arabs and Yevul Nochri  the solution the Torah had in mind?  What about Shmitas Kesafim? Isn't Pruzbul a loophole instituted by Hillel Hazakein because of lack of faith after Churban Bayis?  If we observed Shemittah so wonderfully then why has our security deteriorated so dramatically.  Was Hashem not fulfilling His promise to us in the Torah for keeping Shemittah properly?

Let us reconsider.  Maybe the chareidi solutions have not been the best way to observe Shemittah and neither is the Heter Mechira Solution?

Let us try addressing the root of the problem which is our failure to want the entitlement in order to keep the Mitzvoth and only this way we will be worthy of the Land. 

We are all desperate to win this battle.  But winning the war is our goal.  But we can not do it alone.  We need G-d's help and we must earn it with putting forth our best efforts to address the Biblical commandments that pertain to the Land like tithes, leaving portions of the field for the poor, the Sabbatical year etc,  It's not easy obviously but let's at least try.....Isn't this better and easier than facing Kassam Rockets daily?

Rather than blame the world for the dangers facing us, let's proclaim that the Land of Israel belongs unequivocally to us and then  look inward and address whether we are keeping the commandments properly which according to the Torah promise security.
