Jewish Activists Organize against a "Two State Solution"
Grassroots efforts of major activists on behalf of the Land of Israel are 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 Torah, is the clearest source and proof that this Land was given to the Jewish people. Major concepts, principles and precepts that are at the foundation of all civilizations have their origins in the Torah. These concepts are every bit as relevant today in modern day Israel and for the world at large as they were in ancient times. 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 the entire 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 and that its roots are grounded in the Bible. Historically, in modern history the League of Nations recognized the Jews' deep ties to their historic homeland. The boundaries of the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate reached the Euphrates River which is Iraq. These boundaries are consistent with G-d's Covenant with Abraham as mentioned in the Bible.
This grassroots effort is also directed at all major Jewish organizations calling upon them to reaffirm unequivocally their commitment to the Biblical Heritage.
The activists have now reached over 30,000 people residing all over the world and who are in contact via email. We have circulated a petition to formally request that all Major Religious Jewish Organizations 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 that the Jewish people oppose ceding any part of Biblical Israel to any foreign nation. The letter may be accessed via this link, Letter to Religious Jewish Organizations
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 be a Press Conference, G-d willing, regarding this matter on Wednesday, May 20 at JFK at Terminal 4 in the International Arrivals Terminal, the same building as El Al on the fourth floor at 5:15pm in the museum area near the Jewish Chapel. This is in the rear of the building. El Al is on one side and this is on the other. Park by Blue Parking. Bring your parking ticket and the Jewish Chaplain, Rabbi Rackman will have it validated for 4 hours of free parking. We have reserved the room from 4:30-6:30. The Press Conference itself will begin at 5:15pm. 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
Featured speakers still in formation include Rabbi Chaim Richman - Temple Institute,
Rabbi Algaze and Dr. Joseph Frager from The World Committee for the Land of Israel, and if his plane is not delayed, Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith - Mayor of Itamar, Shomron, Mort Klein of the ZOA.
We will also G-d willing bring greetings and blessings to our efforts from Rabbanim and leaders in Israel
We proclaim that we are partners with the settlement enterprise to proudly settle and protect the Holy Land, the Land of our Ancestors, in Judea and Samaria and throughout the entire Promised Land and do not reject our Biblical birthright our precious gift from G-d.
