Press ReleaseJewish Activists organize against a "Two State Solution"A grassroots effort of major activists on behalf of the Land of Israel is organizing to declare that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people for over 3,000 years and should not be negotiated away. The Bible contains the clearest proofs that this land was given to the Jewish people and that Israel built upon it a major civilization. The prophets of Israel, King David and major concepts that are at the foundation of all civilizations have their origins in the Jewish civilization that existed on the land of Israel. The attempt to ignore these historical facts is misleading and based upon lack of knowledge. The purpose of this grassroots effort is to send a clear message to all the world and especially to the main players in the political arena, both in Israel and America, that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people historically, that its roots are grounded in the Bible and other documents. This effort is also directed at all major Jewish organizations calling upon them to reaffirm unequivocally their commitment to the Biblical heritage.The activists have reached now over 30,000 people who are in contact via email, residing all over the world and Israel. They have circulated a petition to formally request that all Major Religious Jewish Organization s should express and promote a clear message, and especially those committed to the Torah, that the Land of Israel is our heritage from Biblical times and oppose ceding any part of the Biblical Israel t any foreign nation. The letter may be accessed via this link , Letter to Religious Jewish Organizations
Some of the names of the activists, religious and secular, promoting this petition are Susie Dym - Mattot Arim, Robin Ticker NY activist and blogger, Shmuel Koenig NY activist, Yosef Rabin, activist Chicago, Buddy Macy, activist NJ, Ted Belman, , Newsletter Eretz Yisreol Shalanu Arieh Zaritsky Israel, Rafael Rabinovich - Crown Heights activist and blogger, Nadia Matar - Women in Green, Israel, Yehudit Katsover, The Committee for a Jewish Shdema, Tova Abady, CAJL. ,Helen Freedman, AFSI, Evelyn Haze , Rachels Children Reclamation Foundation, Odelia Jacobs activist, World Committee for the Land of Israel etc .... In addition, many of the signatories are high powered activists and our goal is to mobilize this non mainstream organizational force of volunteer activists, to accomplish what the major organization have failed to do which is to speak up proudly for our Jewish Heritage and our claim for the Land of Israel and the Biblical borders.
There will IY"H be a Press Conference regarding this matter on Wednesday, May 20 at JFK at Terminal 4 (exact location in final version) between 4:30 and 6:30pm.. We will be honored if you will attend. We would appreciate knowing if you will attend since space is limited. Send an email to eyisrael1@gmail.com cc: faigerayzel@gmail.com
