Request from AFSI: We need your help in publicizing and participating in A CHANUKAH PROTEST RALLY AGAINST THE CONSTRUCTION FREEZE

JOIN THE PROTEST AGAINST ISRAEL'S CONSTRUCTION FREEZE

 

            Sunday, Dec. 13, 2009, from 11AM-12 noon, in front of the Israeli Consulate, 42nd Street and Second Avenue, NYC, people of conscience will gather to protest against the immoral, illegal, unconscionable construction freeze ordered by PM Bibi Netanyahu and approved by the Knesset.  It's purpose seems to be to appease the Arab enemy, which has already announced that the freeze is insufficient to meet its demands.

            In violation of the right-wing Likud mandate to preserve the Land of Israel for the Jewish people, a draconian order has been issued to stop work on all construction in the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria for a period of ten months while Arab construction continues unabated.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak is implementing this order with the use of the IDF and Yassamnakim, a special forces unit, dressed in black, reminiscent of the Nazi SS.

            Just as in the expulsion of the Jews from Gush Katif, no thought has been given to the emotional, economic, and physical hardships inflicted upon the 300,000 residents of Judea and Samaria, as well as all those involved in the construction industry.

            We urge all those who care about the preservation of the Land of Israel to be present on the second day of Chanukah, Sunday, Dec. 13, to rally to the cry of Judah Maccabee, "All those who are faithful, follow me!!" Although this rally will be taking place in NYC, we urge people throughout the country to follow suit and organize demonstrations in their own communities.

            Contact the AFSI office, 212-828-2424; 1-800-235-3658; afsi@rcn.com for additional information.

Pidyon Shvuyim activism for Tzvia Sariel, hit a nerve and overreaction by fellow congregants of Judge Lifschitz shul

bs"d

Dear List, amv"sh

As an Eretz Yisroel activist, I was very upset about further detainment in prison of a young women, Tzvia Sariel  by a religious Judge on the grounds that Tzvia did not want to identify herself to the Israeli court system. Because Tzvia did not play by the rules, Judge Lifschitz detained her in prison for this crime alone even though her identity was known to the courts based on her fingerprints even without her revealing her identity. 

All other charges against her were proven false.

This  led me to write a letter in support of the a Beis Din that  summoned Judge Lifshitz to a Din Torah.   Judge Lifshitz ignored the summons. 

Here are some of the letters I received in response.  Apparently I hit some nerve.  How dare I suggest that perhaps Judge Lifschitz was unjust with Tzvia Sariel by ruling to detain her in jail, which translates into a jail sentence for an unspecified crime, for her protest that suggests that the Israeli courts are not executing justice?  

Is Tzvia endangering anyone with her little protest except the courts themselves who can not be objective to judging her accusations against them since they are Nogea Badavar?  Is she really a criminal endangering society  for voicing her protest in the only way she sees how and honestly does she therefore deserve to be locked up?

Is there any validity to her claims that the Israeli Courts are biased to the left and against the Nationalist Camp?  Rather than address her concerns, and a willingness for introspection and self review and examination, they choose to intimidate and squash any opposition to their mode of operation which serves to prove her point.  They show that they don't have to answer to anyone other than themselves. 

  My intent was not spam or to threaten anyone.  My email to shul members was not angry.  I presented the facts. My intent was to free a young girl from prison and give support to her claims that in fact the Israeli Court System has been criminally biased against settlers.  I was hoping that some members of the shul would put some pressure on Judge Lifschitz to recognize a Torah Court especially since my understanding was that she is Orthodox. 

None of the letters I received from shul members addressed the points raised in my email.  If the members of the shul didn't want to help the Beis Din they  could have easily ignored the email rather than intimidate me with threats of a law suit and name calling.   They could have sent me back an email in support of the Judge without being so vindictive and on the attack.  No one wants to ostracize the Judge by putting her in Cherem but incarcerating a young women for political purposes in order not to have to reflect on the courts shortcomings is not something we can ignore.

The email you have sent me is spam of the worst kind. I do not know you, and you are using our synagogue list to circulate your messages. I have not requested at any time any email correspondence form you. I'm a physicist, not a lawyer, but I will ask the lawyers in our community whether they are willing to sue you for sending us this spam. As you know, after the law changed in 2007, we each have the right to sue you for 1000 NIS for each unsolicited email you send.
 
In any event, be sure to remove me from the list that you used to circulate your message immediately. If I should ever see any further email message from your list, I will take legal action.

Who has appointed you as a ruler and judge over us?

It is claptrap and Bolshevik demagoguery like yours which undermine the Jewish State more than anything else.

Your one-sided presentation of the Eretz Yisrael issues without recognizing other rabbinic opinions, or that perhaps these matters should not be decided by rabbis at all, is stupefying.

מי שמך לאיש שר ושופט עלינו?

יהירות ודמוגוגיה בולשביקית כמו שלכם חותרות תחת אושיות המדינה היהודית יותר מכל דבר אחר.

הצגתכם החד-צדדית של הנושאים הארצישראליים, בלי להכיר בעובדה שיש דעות רבניות אחרות בנידון, או שאולי נושאים אלו אינם דורשים הכרעה רבנית כלל, מטמטמת!

How dare you compare my daughter, who serves in the IDF and obeys the laws of the state, with a young woman who stands in contempt of court! How dare a beit din, with no responsibilities to the stability of the Jewish state and the democratically expressed wishes of the majority of its citizens, assert its authority over anyone, especially a judge who serves the institutions that preserve law and order! How can a group of rabbanim commit such a hillul ha-shem by pretending that an honest and faithful public servant needs to answer to them? How can supposedly God-fearing Jews be so blind as to confuse their political interests, however sincerely felt, with the authority of the shulkhan arukh?

> Unlike Judge Bechor, Judge Miriam Lifschitz, in front of whom Tzvia Sariel was brought for an extension of detention, ordered the continued detention of Sariel, and it is likely that she knew that the claims in the charges were lies.  The judge indeed allowed her to go free if Tzvia would give fingerprints, but before this, she also accepted the claims of a policeman that Tzvia's identity was not known.  Tzvia Sariel announced that she would not cooperate in the Judicial System's display of crimes and lies.  
>
> To our dismay, this is indeed spoiled fruit of cooperation between the police and the Judicial System.  The police called Tzvia Sariel's mother on the day of her arrest and informed her of her daughter's incarceration, and thus the police admitted that they knew the young woman's identity.

> Tzvia Sariel's fingerprints were taken by force a long time ago, and the combination of these claims is only meant to degrade, humiliate and break the young woman's spirit.  
>
> It pains us that Judge Miriam Lifschitz places herself and the honor of her position, retroactively, in the service of the police.  It will not thus be done in Israel, for one to abuse another, to embarrass a daughter of Israel, wherein all the honor of a daughter of the king is inside, to abandon her to the fist of wickedness.  Just like the brothers of Matityahu's daughter, her Jewish brothers are commanded to save her from distress and incarceration.

> Judge Lifschitz, who is a religious woman, profanes the name of Heaven, as she turns herself to a governmental arm acting purposefully against Jews due to their remaining faithful to the redemption of the nation and land.

Dear Friends,

Below please find two articles that relate to the upcoming Shalit deal. An article by Prof Louis Rene Beres and a release by Helen Freedman from AFSI.

Interestingly, the freezing decrees against the Jews in Judea and Samaria came exactly at a time when, in Israel, one should have a huge outcry against the upcoming release of a 1000 terrorists in exchange for Gilad Shalit.

Israel could have done and still can do many things to release Shalit without capitulating to Arab terror and without having to release terrorists:

1) Pressure on the Gaza Strip. Declaring that each day that goes by and Shalit is not released, Israel will cut off electricity, water and other supplies. For those who might be under the impression that Gazans are starving please take a look at the pictures in the following link. This provides pictures taken in Gaza very recently for Eid celebrations -- they were in an Palestinian Arab paper. Were you under the impression that the Gazans were starving (because of big bad Israel)? You'll change after seeing this:

2) Each day that goes by and Shalit is not released, Israel should arrest another Hamas and PA leader/activist who roam freely anywhere and everywhere.

3) Worsening the condition of Arab terrorists in prison. Few people know that Arab terrorists in Israeli jails enjoy hotel conditions. Their cells are equipped with TV, DVD, radio and sometimes even computers. They enjoy festive meals. Each Arab terrorist is allowed to study and many have completed B.A's and M.A's in jail. Most of them enjoy visitation rights of their families and even conjugal visits of their wives. All this should have been stopped from the day Shalit and other soldiers were kidnapped.

4) Last but not least, instead of sending its soldiers and elite units against the Jews in Judea and Samaria who might commit "the crime" of building, Israel has the capability of organizing a military operation to enter the Gaza Strip, destroy all terror organizations, free Shalit and finally reinstall Jewish sovereignty over this piece of our Land that foolishly has been given away five years ago to the Arab enemy.

We know that this last option is not what this government wants to do but we, the people loyal to the Land of Israel, must constantly remind ourselves and the world that we have not given up on going back to the Gaza Strip and rebuilding Gush Katif. Firstly because the Gaza Strip (known as "Eretz Grar" in the Bible) is as much part of the Land of Israel as Judea, Samaria, Galil, Negev and Golan. Secondly, because only when Israel is in full control of all areas, including Arab towns and villages, we can be sure there will be no Arab terror and kidnappings.

Trading Israeli Gilad Shalit for Palestinian Terrorists - An Illegal and Perilous Exchange
Louis René Beres - Dec 07, 2009
Purdue University
http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/news/article.php?id=4843

Under long-standing international law, every state has a primary obligation to protect its citizens. Yet, it appears that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may soon be prepared to exchange Palestinian terrorists for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. Any such exchange, however humane to Shalit and his family, would imperil thousands of other Israelis.

A core element of all civilized legal systems is the rule of Nullum crimen sine poena, "No crime without a punishment." This principle, drawn originally from the law of Ancient Israel and reaffirmed at the post-War Nuremberg Trials, is part of all international law. It applies here.

To the extent that U.S. President Barack Obama should concur in this impending deal - effectively, an American act of complicity with terrorists - our own country would be in violation not only of international law, but also the law of the United States. Such violation would be two-fold because all international law has been made part of US law (the "supreme law of the land") by Article 6 of the Constitution, and by a number of landmark Supreme Court decisions.

For Israel, there is also a pertinent and portentous history of terrorist exchanges. In June 2003, the Shurat HaDin, the Israel Law Center, in anticipation of then-planned terrorist releases, condemned Israel's freeing of 100 Palestinian prisoners. Later, almost five times that number were freed by then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In her letter to the Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet, Shurat HaDin, Director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, wrote that releasing terrorists for any reason would reignite Arab terrorism against defenseless Jewish men, women and especially children.

Nitsana was correct. Soon thereafter, at least two newly released Palestinian terrorists proceeded to launch suicide bomb attacks in Israel. In these attacks, one "military target" of the heroic fighters was a cafe filled with mothers and their babies.

Every state has an indisputable core obligation under international law to prosecute and punish terrorists. This obligation derives in part from "No crime without a punishment." It is codified directly in many authoritative sources, and is also deducible from the binding Nuremberg Principles (1950). According to Principle 1: "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment."

Terrorism is a serious crime under international law. The precise offenses that comprise this crime can be found at The European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism. Some of the Palestinian terrorists previously released were also guilty of related crimes of war and crimes against humanity. These are Nuremberg-category crimes, so egregious that the perpetrators are known in law as Hostes humani generis, "Common enemies of humankind."

International law presumes solidarity between states in the fight against all crime, including terrorism. This presumption is mentioned as early as the seventeenth century in Hugo Grotius' The Law of War and Peace. Although Israel has a clear jurisdiction to punish any crimes committed on its own territory, it also has the right to act under broader principles of "universal jurisdiction." Its case for such universal jurisdiction, which derives from an expectation of interstate solidarity, is found at the four Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949. These Conventions impose upon the High Contracting Parties the obligation to punish "Grave Breaches."

No government now has the legal right to free terrorists in exchange for its own kidnapped citizens, military or civilian. Terrorism is a criminally sanctionable violation of international law that is not subject to manipulation by individual countries. In the United States, it is clear from the Constitution that the President's power to pardon does not encompass violations of international law. Rather, this power is always limited precisely to "Offenses against the United States."

In originally capturing and punishing Palestinian terrorists, Israel acted on behalf of all states. Moreover, because some of the terrorists had committed their crimes against other states, Israel cannot properly pardon these offenses against other sovereigns. Although Mr. Netanyahu's impending prisoner exchange would not, strictly speaking, represent a "pardon," it would have exactly the same effect.

No state possesses the authority to pardon violations of international law. No matter what might be permissible under its own Basic Law, any impending political freeing of terrorists by Israel would be impermissible. The fundamental principle is also established in law that, by virtue of such releases, the releasing state itself must assume responsibility for past criminal acts, and for future ones.

Under international law, Prime Minister Netanyahu's impending exchange - effectively analogous to a mass pardoning of criminals - would implicate the Jewish State for a "denial of justice." This could have practical consequences. Although it is arguable that punishment, which is central to justice, does not always deter future crimes, such an Israeli freeing of terrorists would undermine the Jewish State's legal obligation to incapacitate violent criminals from committing new acts of mass murder.

A tragic aspect of modern international law is sometimes the need to make hard and painful choices in order to safeguard larger populations from future harms. Mr. Netanyahu should now act accordingly.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SHALIT DEAL MOTIVATES MORE KIDNAPPINGS & STRENGTHENS HAMAS

(Based on a Bulletin put out by Palestinian Media Watch, Dec. 6, 2009)

Americans for a Safe Israel recognizes the extraordinary difficulty in coming to a decision regarding the release of Gilad Shalit in exchange for PA terrorists, many of whom have blood on their hands and are serving life sentences for murder.

It is our belief that the Israeli government might know where Gilad Shalit is being held prisoner and if so, should use its military might and expertise to rescue Shalit from his captors. Instead, it has put the Shalit family and the country through the torturous exercise that seems to be heading for the exchange of Shalit for 1,000 unrepentant terrorists. The record shows that released terrorists return to their pattern of murder and mayhem bringing death and suffering to innocent Israelis.

Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik quote from this month's Al Ayam. Hani Al-Masri, Dec. 1, asserts that "Israel understands only the language of force, since kidnapping is the only thing that leaves
open the gates of hope for freedom for prisoners with long prison terms. This encourages others towards self-sacrifice for the sake of the homeland" Abdallah Awad writes, Dec. 3, "Only, only-says the
Hebrew state - by force, detainment, capture, and kidnapping of occupation soldiers, is it possible to free Palestinian prisoners "whose hands are stained with blood"

Similar quotes have been heard throughout the debate on the prisoner exchange. Can Israel really open the gates wide on future kidnappings and attacks on Israeli citizens? We believe that especially at this
time of Chanukah and miracles and the bravery of Judas Maccabeus, the Israeli government must act to instill pride and strength in its people. It can only do this by "Just saying NO" to internal and
external pressures that would have Israel appease its enemies and weaken itself.
