Fwd: MESSAGE FROM RON NACHMAN, MAYOR OF ARIEL - Practical implications of a building freeze in Ariel

bs"d

TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
Let's learn from this how to treat the Palestinian communities in Judea and Samaria
The Jews of Judea and Samaria are paying taxes to a government that does not represent them with fairness and equality of other tax paying citizens.  This evil government has no regard for the property of its loyal citizens!  In one stupid vote by a Committee, the entitlement and ownership of ones property in Judea and Samaria in now a question mark .  What heartless laws this government is enforcing on its loyal citizens which changes the direction of our Biblical Covenant. 

Let us learn from these ruthless actions how to reverse Oslo and declare Oslo and the Roadmap null and void.  We must show no mercy on those that wish to destroy the Land of Israel and the rightful settlement of the Jews in their Biblical Homeland. Palestinians communities should be frozen. They should not be allowed to build and grow. Businesses that choose to invest in the Palestinian Territories should be put on hold. 90% subsidies for childcare and nursery should be frozen forcing the young families to pay 100%.  Let young couples move elsewhere.  If International law dictates that the Government of Israel be ruthless to it's own citizens, we should definitely have no issues with acting with similar tactics to those that clearly educate their children to glorify martyrdom and aspire for  the demise of a Jewish Homeland in Eretz Yisroel.

Message from Mayor Ron Nachman The Building Freeze     December 10, 2009 On Friday afternoon at 3:00pm, just one hour before Shabbat, I received a call from an Israeli Defense Forces officer. He came to bring me the building freeze orders. What had been presented as a government statement, to be implemented at a reasonable pace and with sufficient warning, was all of a sudden propelled into immediate and heavy handed motion.   Young families, who took out mortgages to buy homes that were under construction will no longer be able to afford their payments, now that the entry date to their new homes has been pushed off by 10 months.   The Netzarim community, which resides in Ariel since the 2005 Disengagement from Gush Katif, has finally received the necessary licenses and permits to begin building a neighborhood of 100 homes in Ariel. The building freeze stops them in their tracks, leaving them in their trailers and shipping containers for yet another 10 months.    Businesses that chose to invest in the region and build their factories in Ariel's Industrial Zone are set back 10 months, paralyzing their marketing programs and threatening them with economic collapse.   Unfortunately, the aggressive implementation of the freeze has grossly oversimplified a complex issue. Even the environment is at risk, with concerns that Ariel's connection to the Dan Region Wastewater Treatment Plant may be postponed, or that its budget may be routed elsewhere for lack of progress on the long awaited project.    Prime Minister Netanyahu has succumbed to extreme and relentless pressure from the Obama administration and from Europe . I met with him last week, along with other representatives from Samaria and Judea . He explained that the 10 month building freeze throughout Judea and Samaria is a gesture to the international community, indicating that Israel is willing to take practical steps towards a so-called "peace" arrangement. Though he has not personally changed his belief system, he has initiated an unbearable situation with far reaching implications.   The City of Ariel , along with 14 other cities and regional councils, has issued a claim against the government's recent actions. The Supreme Court responded that it will address the case in the coming days.   We have been frozen in the past, but we have always persevered. In 1980 Prime Minister begin froze us for 3 months, but that didn't stop us. In 1992 Prime Minister Rabin froze us for 4 years. There have been many long term affects to that policy, but Ariel remains an undeniable reality.   Notwithstanding our strength, we need to understand the threatening nature of this building freeze. It means that we can't absorb new immigrants, because we can't build new homes. It means that we can't attract young couples to Ariel, resulting in kindergartens closing and schools shrinking. It means that people don't know what to expect from day to day, or what their community will look like a year from now.     No less harmful than the freeze are the government's budget cutbacks. Funding that went to Ariel as a national developmental priority has been discontinued. The repercussions are felt in the city's Department of Education, Social Services, Youth Department and in private households. Families who receive a 90% discount on childcare and nursery school are now required to pay 100% of the required tuition. No grants are given for young families to purchase homes in Ariel. No incentives are given to educators to come and teach in Ariel.       Peace will not emerge from this building freeze, just as no good has emerged from the previous so-called peace initiatives, beginning with the 1993 Oslo Accords.  This building freeze is yet another Israeli gesture towards an unwilling group of Palestinians. In the meantime, it causes unnecessary hardships to the people of Samaria and Judea , and it serves to delegitimize future attempts at creating some form of peace in the eyes of the Israeli people.   What will emerge is a strong Ariel. Without a strong Samaria the State of Israel cannot survive. Without a strong Ariel there would be no Samaria . The geo-political situation in Israel continues to become increasingly more obvious to Israelis and even to the Western World. The City of Ariel will continue to provide jobs for our Arab neighbors. We will continue to provide them with water and electricity. We will continue to contribute to a meaningful and lasting peace in the region. After all is said and done it is our commitment to progress and to peace that will prevail.      Sincerely, Ron Nachman Mayor of Ariel       Forward email This email was sent to gold7910@bellsouth.net by mayornachman@friendsofariel.org.

A personal tefillah of mine for Har Habayit

bs"d


 Dear List, amv"sh

Here is the perfect opportunity to make a direct connection to Har Habayit.  This is my own personal teffilah that I sent in.

Wishing you a Happy Chanukah.

Please go to http://www.tmpn.tk/ and send your personal tefillah!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A tefillah that all the impurities and Avodah Zara in my house be removed entirely and may we, myself, my husband and my children serve Hashem w/o the anti Torah negative influences of the Greeks and the Romans. May Hashem help us so that it is done in a manner that is not forced upon anyone but rather because of a desire and yearning to serve Hashem in holiness as symbolized by Chanukah.

Nadia Matar, Freeze decrees are declaration of war against Judea and Samaria,Senator Inhofe Let's review American History

bs"d

"Make no mistake about it.  This war is first and foremost a spiritual war.  It is not a political war. It has never been a political war. It is not about politics.  It is a spiritual war. It has its roots in spiritual conflict.  It is a war to be fought to destroy the very fabric of our society and the very things
for which we stand..."

 Please read this unbelievable speech presented in Congress by Senator Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma on December 4, 2001.  In this historic speech he includes portions of the historic speech of Patrick Henry as he stood in the House of Burgess made a speech for them, made a speech for us today. In this address,  Senator Inhofe presents 7 reasons as per Israel's rights to the Land and why the Land belongs to Israel. This speech is a must have for every Jewish acivist and non activist that is hesitant to put a claim upon our land.

Because this is a spiritual War the rulings of Rabbanim are crucial. 

If you can not make it to the AFSI demonstration today at 11:00 and even if you can, let's be activists for Judea and Samaria at our Chanukah gatherings this week.  Most friends and family members are clueless.  How can we enjoy our own Chanuka celebrations when our Jewish brothers and sisters, 350,000 strong, can not have their own Chanukat Habayit?  They can not expand.   Their communities are being strangled. 

When we as a people will come out strong in support of the Rabbinic ruling forbidding soldiers to expel fellow Jews, the government of Israel  will be unable to impose their rule on us.

When we stand up for Tzvia Sariel and her individual struggle for Torah to be the law of the Land, we show that our prayers are relevant and not merely lip service. 

As Nadia clearly says, peaceful demonstrations are not enough.   We need to prevent another expulsion!  Will we stand by for more expulsions and then offer after the fact expressions of "feeling the pain of our brethren" when it is too late and after the fact tehillim for the Matzav in Eretz Yisroel when are brethren are homeless?. 

Nadia writes:

Dear friends, the freeze decrees not allowing any Jewish building in Israel's Biblical Heartland are a declaration of war against the Jews of Judea and Samaria. Let it be clear to all: the freeze decrees are the first step on the way to the elimination of all the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, and the expulsion of 350,000 Jews from their homeland, for the purpose of establishing in their stead a Palestinian state, that, as is well-known, will constitute a threat to the little pre-67'State of Israel.

Our opposition to the freeze decrees is therefore a struggle for the survival of the entire state.

We must set forth on a resolute and uncompromising struggle against these decrees. Protests are important, but not enough. There was a large demonstration on Wednesday. It is important to raise our voices against the decrees, but we should not invest all our energy in this. The lesson of Gush Katif is that quiet, organized, and orderly demonstrations will not decide the outcome and will not change decrees because Israel is no longer a democratic country. In a country in which the electorate votes right and nevertheless receives policies of the left, politicians are not influenced by old-fashioned  demonstrations; at least not here in Israel.

 (In contrast, demonstrations in front of the Israeli consulates abroad are important, because they put pressure on Israel; see below, for details on the demonstration by Americans For a Safe Israel.)

Here in Israel, the government must receive a stiff message from the field, that we simply will not let this happen.

The blocking of the communities by tens of residents to the inspectors from the Civil Administration was a good start.

Now the struggle must intensify.

So that this time there will really be a struggle, and not a fake struggle as there was five years ago in Gush Katif, Moetzet Yesha (the Council of Jewish Settlements in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) cannot be allowed to head the camp.

Moetzet Yesha is limited. It is dependent on government budgets, and therefore it is capable of engaging only in protests, large but quiet demonstrations (like Wednesday's), and political pressure. All these tactics were used in Gush Katif but did not prevent the expulsion.

The true struggle must be waged by extraparliamentary bodies.

What is struggle?

Struggle today is to rebel against the immoral and anti-Jewish decrees, to proudly violate them, and to send a clear message to all: Never again! They will never again succeed in carrying out a destruction program. Jews will never again be expelled from their homeland.

In our humble opinion, the main struggle now must be conducted in two arenas:

1) Construction, construction, and more construction throughout Judea and Samaria. A few days ago our movement, Women in Green, issued a call to establish a fund for light construction for couples and families on the hilltops. In the coming days we will, with God's help, distribute a short video that will exemplify and explain this step. God willing, the lovers of Eretz Israel will mobilize for this project, and we will succeed in erecting houses throughout Judea and Samaria,especially outside the boundaries of the existing communities. We must pass on a clear message: we will not agree to be ghettoized or limited. The Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel and we will continue to settle, build and expand in it.

2) Expanding the phenomenon of soldiers who already today declare that they will not participate in the expulsion of Jews from their land and the handing over to the enemy of our land, our homeland. Women in Green gives its support to Rabbi Eliezer Melamed from har Bracha, who stated outright that if an order in the army conflicts with our loyalty to Eretz Israel - the order must be refused. We cannot leave the rabbis in the front lines. We, too, parents to soldiers, must send a clear message that we send our sons to the army to fight the Arab enemy, to defend the homeland and the people, and not, Heaven forbid, to expel Jews from their land. The greater the phenomenon of soldiers loyal to their people and their homeland who declare, already now, that they will not give a hand to the implementation of the policies of the extreme left, the faster the authorities will understand that they do not have the ability to realize their plan.

The more successful we will be in the two areas described above, the more it will put real pressure on the politicians and make it clear that unlike five years ago, when our camp was so well-behaved and docile during the expulsion of our brothers from Gush Katif and Northern Shomron, this time, we are determined to fight for the right of the Jewish People to their G-d given Biblical Homeland.

As Yair Stern wrote: we, the people, are in a "national war. The nation's war for its honor, its freedom, and its life." May it be His will that we receive inspiration from the heroic Maccabees, who did not fear and proved that the little Jewish people is capable of fighting and besting great empires. Like then, today as well, the struggle, unfortunately, is not only against the Greeks, but also against the Jewish Hellenizers who collaborated with the Greeks.

If we succeed in awakening and in understanding that the responsibility and obligation to join the struggle is incumbent on each and every one of us - then we will do and, with God's help, we will prevail.

A happy Hanukkah holiday and Shavua Tov,

Nadia Matar

JOIN THE PROTEST AGAINST ISRAEL'S CONSTRUCTION FREEZE

 

            Sunday, Dec. 13, 2009, from 11AM-12 noon, in front of the Israeli Consulate, 42^nd 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.
