This email is L'Ilui Nishmat Yisrael ben David Aryeh ob"m (Izzy - Kaplan) a great activist and lover of Eretz Yisroel, Am Yisroel and the Torah. Yehi Zichrono Baruch.
Shemittah, the Jewish Sabbatical year, brings security and blessing. The Torah says keeping this Mitzvah will prevent disaster and exile. Shemittah is Shabbat LaHashem. A taste of the World to Come. Learn about one womens quest for knowledge and rediscovery of this long lost Mitzvah according to the simple Torah reading of the text found in the beginning posts of this blog.

The IDF (Israeli Defense Force or Israeli Army) has a video on U Tube explaining what's going on but U Tube wants to remove it by using the excuse as not too many people are logging in. Please forward this email, so many people will log in and the IDF will be able to have its voice heard. Thanks

The Turkish and Hamas backed boats were on a phony humanitarian peace mission. They were asked to bring what they had to the Israeli port of Ashdod, so that any civilian consumer goods they had could be brought by Israelis to Gaza, as Israel has been providing for Gaza in many ways all along. But the real intention of the flotilla was to provoke Israel, make her look bad, and break the Israeli right to have an embargo.
Then the next flotilla could bring in weapons to Gaza!
Support Israel's right to exist and to defend herself, like any other country!
AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY TO RALLY IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL'S FLOTILLA SELF-DEFENSE
-Hundreds To Gather: Shame on UN For Condemning Israel ! We Stand With Israel ! -
June 1, 2010 - NEW YORK, NY – RAJE, together with other American Jewish organizations will gather outside of the Israeli Consulate, located at 800 Second Avenue (42nd Street) at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, June 1 to stand in support of Israel's self-defense. Hundreds will gather waving American & Israeli flags, and bearing signs which read: "Peace Activists Don't Attack Soldiers," "Hamas & Al Qaeda Support the Flotilla", and "We Stand with Israel."
"We will gather to stand united with the State Of Israel, and to let President Obama, and the world know that we will not sit silently as Israel is attacked by her enemies. We stand with Israel in their battle against terrorism. Israel has the right to stop terror at its door, and we condemn the United Nations for standing with terrorists. These so-called peace activists used knives, clubs and fire from weapons stolen from soldiers, and attacked soldiers who were seeking to enforce international law. The boats were warned to change course multiple times, and we as the American Jewish community will not stand silently as Israel is attacked," said Rabbi Mordechai Tokarsky, Chairman of RAJE (Russian American Jewish Experience).
Further information on the event is available by calling Ronn Torossian at 212-999-5585.

Free Gaza - The Real Version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tOdW0qEy4g
Council statement condemns "acts" that resulted in deaths
Why didn't the US Veto rather than allow any condemnation of Israel in the UN regarding this act in self defense on the part of Israel? This is appalling and must be met with strong activism. What is needed is a barrage of calls to the White House and Congress. Obama, responds to public opinion and whether he will get reelected. Democrat and Republicans need send a strong and powerful message to the White House and our Congressmen and Senators that voters will be voting Republic next time! If they want credibility, Democratic Congressmen and Senators must raise their opposition to their "leader" and his policies for leading their party and the Nation into very dangerous times.Like most of you, I awoke this morning to the disturbing news that Israeli commandos had raided a flotilla of "peaceful" ships trying to bring food to the residents of Gaza. In their "brazen" assault, the Israelis had killed at least ten "peace activists." Oh no, I feared, perhaps some of those young Israeli soldiers finally snapped under the pressure. This time, they went too far. They had spilled the blood of those who had chosen the path of peace.
Then the facts of what actually happened began to emerge. As they did so, it became increasingly apparent that the Israelis had acted in self defense, after repeated attempts to avert violence had been ignored. And it also became clear that once again Israel's side of the story was neither obvious nor simple. It takes an open mind and knowledge of the facts to understand what led to today's tragedy at sea. Lacking both, most observers issued their guilty verdict against Israel the minute the death toll was announced.
First of all, this "humanitarian" flotilla was, at best, a cynical PR stunt. There is no food shortage in Gaza. Israel maintains an open corridor for the transfer of food to Gaza, and this route is used daily by legitimate relief organizations including the United Nations and the Red Cross. Over the last 18 months, well over a million tons of humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza from Israel. This equals almost a ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza.

Secondly, the Israelis offered the flotilla a peaceful way to resolve the conflict. They proposed that the ships dock at Israel's southern port of Ashdod and unload their cargo there. The Israelis pledged to transfer all truly humanitarian cargo to Gaza. They simply wanted to screen the cargo first so that they could ensure that no arms or explosives were hidden among the food and other legitimate items. This offer was flatly rejected.
Only then — when faced with the declared intention of these ships to break Israel's security blockade of Gaza – did Israel decide to board the ships and bring them to Ashdod by force. To do otherwise would have been to allow Israel's opponents to dictate Israel's security policy. The Gaza strip is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist organization openly committed to Israel's destruction. As the constant smuggling of arms and rockets into Gaza – and their repeated use by Hamas — makes clear, Israel has every right and reason to screen shipments going into Gaza.
So long as the Israeli soldiers who boarded these boats were met by peaceful protests, no one was hurt. Of the six ships in the flotilla, Israeli naval forces boarded five of them without incident. Only on one ship – the Marmara — did Israeli soldiers harm passengers. Why did they do so? As videos taken by Israel's navy since made clear, the Israelis boarding this particular ship met with instant and vicious violence. As the Israeli soldiers were lowered one-by-one onto the ship by helicopter, they were assaulted by an angry mob that beat them with metal rods and knives, threw them off the sides of the deck, and reportedly stole their handguns and shot at them. What awaited the Israelis was a lynch mob, pure and simple. Only after the mob began using deadly force did the Israelis respond with deadly force to save their lives.
Anyone doubting the intensity and severity of the attack by the so-called peace activists should watch the following video taken by the Israeli navy. It is sobering.

We will no doubt learn more of the specifics in the days to come. And we may well come to learn that the Israelis made mistakes in the planning and execution of this operation.
But as the initial facts have emerged, it has already become clear that these soldiers were acting in self defense, and would never have resorted to violence had they not genuinely feared for their lives.
Yet as in prior conflicts, Israel's efforts at self defense are being twisted and distorted by the very people who provoked and now celebrate the violence.
