Dear fellow Jew and Jewish Journalist,
The Jewish Print Media and Radio and Jewish Organizations just don't get it. We are dealing with Amalek. We don't simply tell Fatah, Amalek or Hitlers that the problem is their rejection of Jews as did the ADL and hope that such a statement will bring peace via peaceful negotiations and merely view their intransience as a challenge as does Malcolm Hoenlein!
Know who your enemy is! PA does not want to alienate Western Funding. But it is no secret that they allign themselves with Fatah. and Hamas's ideology. Fatah insists on an armed struggle. They claim that only Martyrs can win their war! Jihad, Oh To be SHAHID
Let us give them their due reciprocity. Our challenge is to recognize evil and deal with it in the manner they would deal with you, a Jew, given the chance. Remember your fellow journalist Daniel Pearl. Remember your ancestors that died in the Holocaust! Remember the number tatooed on their arm. Learn from the Wyman Institute of Holocaust Studies and absorb Rafael Medoff PHD's reports. Look at the mounds of corpses in the Holocaust museum. Read about Rabbi Weismandl and the failure of America to bomb Auschwitz in 1944. After all, all this and worse might happen G-d forbid to us and/or to our own children if we enable these evil forces. If we are merciful to the cruel eventually we will be cruel to the merciful.
I am therefore referring you to these sources of information that you might need in reporting your news. You are an officer in this Media War against evil. When Israel blocked the media in Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, the War was much more successful in Israel's favor compared to the Lebonese War where there were 460 leaks per day to the Media. That was until the media once again spoke of Palestiniain Suffering. What would have been the outcome in WWII if the media would have harped on the suffering of the Germans in the hands of the Allies.
The Media literally weakened and continues to weaken the IDF and Jewish Media unfortunately takes its cue from major news sources like CNN.

Israel's answer to Palestinians can only be to accept those that accept Jewish Sovereignty. Only those that pledge allegiance can stay in Israel. There is only one Jewish State. Anyone that doesn't like it can go elsewhere. How about going to any one of the 22 Arab countries?.
Israel does not need to absorb those that call and pray for it's destruction.
In Mishpacha Magazine this week there was an article about Palestinians, even tribes, that have Jewish roots. They would be happy to accept Jewish Sovereignty but they are threatened with their lives if they express their wishes. What about their rights?

Rabbi Amar's letter to Rabbanim and Dayanim of America and Conference of Presidents
bs"d
To: Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel - Executive Vice President of Government and Public Affairs Agudath Yisroel of America
Rabbi Abba Cohen - Agudath Yisroel of America
Rabbi Pesach Lerner - National Council of Young Israel
Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb - Orthodox Union of America
Mr. Nathan Diament - Washington Office Orthodox Union of America
Rabbi Herring - Rabbinical Council of America
Lubavitch Headquarters
This hand written letter by Rabbi Amar, Chief Rabbi of Israel was inspired by Rabbi Shalom Gold at a Conference of Rabbanim in Eretz Yisroel. It is my recollection that it was signed by 250 Rabbanim that were present. Please open attachment.
This letter is an appeal by Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar, Chief Rabbi of Israel to the Rabbanim in America to use their influence on President Obama to stop pressuring Israel to freeze settlements in Israel based on Torah and halacha and on the commandment to settle the Land. He talked about their great pain not from a political perspective but as Rabbanim from a Torah and Halachic perspective.
I hope that Agudath Yisroel of America, the Young Israel, the Orthodox Union of America, the Rabbinical Council of America, and Lubavitch Headquarters received a copy of this letter. But in the case that they have not and they only read about it in the Israeli press or heard about it on the radio, I am sending it to them via email and CCing Jewish Print and radio media as well since I hope and pray that it will be reprinted in the mainstream press.
To my List:
Since there is no return receipt in email, I'd appreciate if you on my email list send it to your lists and email these and other Rabbinical organizations and Rabbanim and journalists of mainstream Jewish Media as well, just to make sure that they know there is a listening audience out there waiting for this voice to be heard!.
Be the voice that let's our Jewish Organizations in America know that there is no consensus in the Jewish Population for a Palestinian State - whose ideology reflects Fatah and Hamas and whose roots go back to Nazi Germany and Amalek, in spite of what Netanyahu says. Our Torah is our guide and Hashem is our King (Aleinu...Anachnu Korim Umishtachavim Lifnei Melech Malchai Hamlochim, Baruch Ata Hashem Elokeinu Melech Haolam, Avinu Malkeinu..... ! ) The laws of the Land may not annul G-d's Covenant.

אם ותינוקת בצרות Gush Etzion Mom & Baby
היום, מחר או מחרתיים (ב או ג או ד), יתכן שיהרסו את ביתם של מודי ותמר ביבי בגוש עציון. מודי קצין קרבי במיל., אשתו בהריון ויש להם בת תינוקת. ביתם הוגדר כ"מאחז" לכן מסרבים לאשר אותו. ביום רביעי מתכנסת ועידת מפלגת העבודה. לפני ועידות כאלה, מקובל שיו"ר המפלגה (שר הבטחון אהוד ברק) הורס איזשהו מאחז להנאת המתכנסים.
משפחת ביבי הבחינה בנוכחות של אנשי מנהל אזרחי ליד ביתם. לכן, יש חשש שהבית שלהם הוא זה שמיועד להריסה.
מי שמסוגל להציל את משפחת ביבי מגירוש הוא השר אלי ישי. אחר הכל, לאלי ישי יש מאחוריו יותר חברי כנסת מאשר יש לאהוד ברק, ונתניהו כמובן יודע זאת. ואביו של מודי ביבי הוא יגאל ביבי - האיש שעזר כל כך הרבה לש"ס לפני הבחירות, זוכרים?

נא לשלח ס.מ.ס או לטלפן בדחיפות לאלי ישי (משעה 7 בבוקר עד 23 בערב, פקסים ומיילים 24 שעות ביום, גם אם אומרים ש"הוא בחופש") ולמסור הודעה, כמו למשל:

URGENT: The home of a reserve commando officer who has risked his life for all of us many atime, his pregnant wife and their baby daughter Shaked may be destroyed tomorrow, the next day or Wednesday --in Gush Etzion -- because the Labor Party Convention is convening Wednesday. It is customary for the head of the party (currently Ehud Barak) to decimate an outpost a day or two before this periodic political event, because some of the Labor Party's functionaries are radical leftwingers who truly delight in settler-bashing.

My response to Yated: Yesha News is lacking in Boro Park and Flatbush and all over the world
bs"d
The fact that you, the editor of Yated is sending this response (see below) to me shows that indeed you really do care to present Yesha's side of the story.
I understand that Five Towns Jewish times pays $4000 annually for the right to reprint INN. I don't know if Yated subscribes to other news sources but I suspect that compared to other news sources, $4000 is not all that much. On the other hand, I have no clue as per the finances of Yated. With or w/o money stories such as these must be presented.
In any case my main concern is to get the Yesha news in circulation in the Chareidi community. With Kiruv organizations as active and successful as it is, the Chareidi position will then get absorbed into the secular Jewish world as well.
To be honest, when it comes to Pikuach Nefesh I am not that pragmatic from a financial perspective. I myself, a total novice in the field of print publication and financially w/o means, with no time on my hands due to family obligations, tried out of desperation to talk to people about starting a Yesha newspaper for the Boro Park Flatbush community because people here are clueless. As the expulsion was going on in 2005, it was Color War as usual in the day camps. Merely some extra tehillim for the Matzav in EY. Ask someone on the street in Boro Park or Flatbush if they heard about Amona? How about the destruction of the Federnan or Tor house. They did hear of Beit Hashalom in Hevron. perhaps. That got in a bit. Hevron unfortunately chose to fight their battle independent of the ideological struggle of the outposts and the hilltops.
Have BP and Flatbush heard about Women in Green or Mattot Arim. Do they know much about National Union and Moshe Feiglin? (Feiglin perhaps because they have a strong office in NY and Netanyahu's political shenanigans put him front page). Do they know about the nascent Sanhedrin other than it is treif if that much? Have they heard about Chaim Richman, Rav Ariel and Temple Institute or hear Divrei Torah coming from Rabbanei Yesha?
From the typical religious print media articles, the message is that we the Jews support Netanyahu on the establishment of a Palestinian Sta-e and that includes support of Agudath Yisroel,OU, Dov Hikind and their spokespeople in Washington DC. We only demand reciprocity from the Arabs and a demiliterized state and if they comply we willingly would give away parts of Judea and Samaria. But this is a political stand taken by Netanyahu a politician knowing fully well that reciprocity and a demiliterized State will never happen. It is not a theological accurate Jewish response. It is not the positionof the residents of Yesha aka the settlers.
Didn't Rav Eliashiv clearly say that Jerusalem is NOT to be divided and we must do our outmost Hishtadlus that this should not occur? (that was before American Foreign Policy was pushing for a divided Jerusalem). Now there is Silence on our part a clear disregard of a public statement by Rav Eliashiv as told to the Agudah crowd 2 years ago in the Agudah Convention by Rav Perlow. Again we see how politics distorts the Torah message.
This is a religious war because the other side has made it so. Our ammunition is our Torah and not political games.
Malcolm Hoenlein seems to be setting the tone for the mainstream Jewish media rather than simple Pshat of the Torah. Emunah Peshuta that Hashem promised us the land and we in turn are obligated in keeping the Mitzvoth which reach their ultimate actualization in Eretz Yisroel.
Oslo, Annapolis are annulment of the Covenant that Hashem made with our forefathers. Malcolm Hoenlein somehow feels that the Biblical position is not politically correct. Reciprocity is.
Please resolve this matter between you asap and get the Yesha news with a Torah perspective on front page, free of politics and money considerations, . There is a War going on and our lives are on the line. We owe that much to the courageous Jews of Yesha who are on the front line especially the hilltop Youth.
Thank you once again for listening.

It just so happens to be that Arutz Sheva used to permit us to reprint their articles as long as we gave them credit. They subsequently sent us a letter that they had revisited their policy and that they didn't want us to reprint their articles.

In Response to Dov Stein's comments Regarding Yated's response
bs"d
Dear Rabbi Stein, amv"sh
Please tell me if my understanding is correct. Are you saying that the Chassidim i.e the Satmar Mayor is acting more responsibly in taking a clear stand in support of Obama even though you disagree with it, as opposed to the Yeshiva Wold's approach which is Deafening Silence, not taking any clear stand condemning Obama's statements and policies?
Perhaps. My feeling is that both scenarios are terrible CHillul Hashem and both serve to empower Amalek. One way does so more openly than the other.
Shtika Kehodaya Damya.
Only clarity for the sake of the Torah, to speak up for our Covenant will create a Kiddush Hashem.
PS. Apparently for a price, Yated would be able to reprint articles from INN as do other papers. It has been their choice not to do so. Their considerations may be monetary but the end result is that their wide circulation are not getting the position of 350,000 Jews in Yesha which iis most authentic to Torah.
Was it conincidence that only after Rabbanim who were close friends of Rav Ovadia Yosef and the Shas party were taken away in shackles, did Rav Ovadia Yosef make a clear statement that we are not slaves to America?
Why is this Chillul Hashem necessary for the Rabbinic Leaders of our generation to finally speak up for our entitlement of Eretz Yisroel and against other expulsions? Though it pains me to see Rabbinic figures jailed I had no knowledge of this when I wrote in my blog entitled Rav Ovadia Shlita Slams President, "Hodu LeHashem Ki Tov Ke LeOlam Chasdo" which by the way is said at a Bris.
Does Malcolm Hoenlein have to feel out of the loop of Presidential decisions (Rahm Emanuel and other Jews are in the loop) in order to make statements against Obama's policies. Are these statements only made after there is nothing for him personally to lose by speaking up since it's lost already and others are in the position of power in the White House and he is not????
These are writings on the wall.
If our job and our salaries or prestige are dependant on being silent regarding our fellow Jews in Judea and Samaria, perhaps it is destined that we lose our jobs and salaries in any case. Do we want to lose everything? Not only have these Rabbanic and honored community members lost their own source of Parnassa and prestige and face public embarrassment they have by their silence allowed the destruction of more homes in Yesha. Let us risk our Jobs, titles and our Parnassa but keep our honor and faith that Hashem provides for us and speak out for our entitlement for the Torah and for our brethren in Judea and Samaria! and against American Foreign Policty that is actively destroying outposts and deligitimizes our enttilement to settle all parts of Eretz Yisroel. G-d's law may not be overwritten and annulled by State Law. Not Israeli STate Law or American Law. If G-d is king than his Law supercedes the law of the STate.

Subject: Yated responds
bs"d
Thank you to the editor of Yated for responding. It shows that indeed you care!
Reporters make news. Reporters are the frontline officers in the media War.
Shtika KeHodaya Damia, It is not the settlers per say that we must promote. The Settlers and the hilltop youth are battling for Torah. Am Yisroel must unite for that Torah battle.
The Gedoilim have called for Machsom PI, Closing ones mouth for Lashon Hara.
Silence when words must be spoken is also Lashon Hara.
Eicha? How can we silently allow the destruction of the property of thousands of Jews without condemning it..How are we silent when the next round of destruction is being planned? Our silence makes us accomplices to a degree and we are Chayav BeDinei Shamayim. It's like the witness that doesn't testify. It's like the Ox that has a history of goring and you allow him to gore one more time. Why do we learn Gemorrah if not to act when necessary???
Our Hishtadlus:
Being that the religious papers have wide circulation and do not have reporters on site to get a more balanced picture, Arutz7 has an obligation to allow articles of this nature to be reprinted in the religious press in order that a more balanced picture be presented for Torah's sake. I am not addressing the compensation matter to Arutz7 which of course is important and in my opinion should be addressed. I suspect this is part of the reason that they have not given permission for you to reprint. . However, when the lives of Jews are at stake Am Yisroel must act as one to fight the Media War against us and monetary matters comes secondary.
This having been said, I am sure Yated and the other papers can use material from blogs and individuals who are more than willing to explain their side of the story for free.
The great influence of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah and the Religious papers can be shown in the following scenario.
Each individual, man women and child are and should be foot soldiers. If for example, you get each Yeshiva student and their parents writing a letter to Obama saying that ERetz Yisroel belongs to Hashem and it is our Biblical inheritance and it was PROMISED to Am Yisroel and that we are commanded to keep the Mitzvoth of the Land which will in turn bring peace and blessings to humanity, that will make a big Kiddush Hashem! Torah Umesorah and the Rabbanim with Torah Umesorah that meet with Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah on a regular basis can network with the Yeshivoth and network with the Jewish Media to make this a big news item, then there is no question that Obama's message in Cairo would be openly refuted. After all doesn't each school child learn in Chumash "Ki BeYitckok Yikareh Lecha Zera", and "Velo Yerash ben Haama im Yitzchok... (paraphrased).
This is not merely a matter of fair reporting. This is a matter of TORAH!
The time has come to seriously and openly address the Svara that holds that until Moshiach comes we must not settle the Land. The Satmar Mayor naively writes to President Obama that he supports his efforts to establish a peaceful solution in the Middle East. In writing this sounds idylic and supports the Satmar ideology not to settle the Land until Moshiach comes.
Practically, Mayor Wieder is giving Obama the green light to give away parts of Eretz Yisroel to Sonei Yisroel whose ideology is even worse than Hitler Yemach Shemo. Hitler didn't promote and teach that committing suicide to exterminate the Jews is a Holy act - Jihad. He merely promoted exterminating the Jews. All 6,000,000 of them. . The Mufti of Jerusalem yemach shemo was in cahoots with Hiter Yemach Shemo. Does Mayor Wieder of Kiryas Yoel realize that he is alligning himself and aiding the partners of Amalek? Is this Authentic Torah as he suggests in his letter?????---------- Forwarded message ----------

Dear Activist list, amv'sh
The mainstream Jewish Media does not usually report the truth that puts settlers in a favorable light or attempts to explain and validate or justify their struggle and simply ignores news that shows discrimination in a justice system that is biased against them. The Jewish Sentinal even had the nerve to be critical of the fact that the settlers also described in the news as radical extremists, unlawful, Anti State , Messianic extremists and violent who wish to kill Arabs and compare them with Hamas militants avoid reading the mainstream press. ( I don't remember if the Jewish Sentinal in this particular article equated them with Hamas militants and as individuals with violent tendencies who would love nothing better than to kill Arabs but the other descriptions were there. There is no doubt that the press has painted the settlers as Jews that love to sing "Am Yisroel CHai, all Arabs should die".
If the mainstream press doesn't print their side of the news than what else can we expect? Where should we get the news that accurately describes the situation? ?Arutz7 seems to be one of the few sources with excellent reporting as shown below and even they won't print the whole story if it makes the Rabbis look bad.
Please email some of the mainstream Jewish Media editors and complain of lopsided reporting. Please ask them to print articles such as the ones below presenting the settlers and their opposition to a 2 State Solution based on Biblical entitlement in a favorable light on front page. Why do they need to rely on JTA for ttheir cover stories which is generally unfavorable to Yehudah and the Shomron and emphasizes reciprocity. The Torah, to quote Rav Amnon Yitzchok is not only for the Orthodox or Dati Jew. It is for Chilonim as well. Speaking of our Biblical Heritage is for Chilonim as well. Rav Amnon Yitzchok said he'd rather be a Chiloni that keeps Torah and Mitzvoth then a Chareidi that doesn't.
The News doesn't only report the News it also creates the News and Publisher and reporters have a responsibility to speak the Truth and not a distortion of the truth.---------- Forwarded message ----------
