Fwd: The Muslim Brotherhood’s Penetration of the Obama Administration

bs"d

Dear Journalists, amv"sh

This kind of interview with Pamela Geller re: Obama and his links to the Muslim Mafia doesn't usually get into mainstream press.  For more information about Radical Islam I would also recommend the book Muslim Mafia AUTHOR: P. Dave Gaubatz and Paul Sperry  publisher WND

Of course I too would prefer to ignore all this bad press about Obama and  the Muslim Brotherhood.  I would like to see a happy ending of the uprising in Egypt whereby the Egyptian people finally get a gov't that is run by a true democracy and not a dictatorship like Mubarak. .

Unfortunately, both my parents were Holocaust Survivors. I am sure that many Jewish Journalist as yourselves have parents, grandparents, relatives  that were survivors or  victims of Nazi Germany.  The atrocities are too horrible to talk about.

Apparently the Muslim Brotherhood originates from Islamo Fascism of the 1920s and collaborated with Nazi Germany.  Please prove me wrong.  I would love to be proven wrong about the Muslim Brotherhood and Obama as well.  I cringe knowing that this evil is so prevalent.

Being that there is a warfare called mediafare, you are, willingly or non willingly part of a fighting army. Given our knowledge of the Holocaust, are you sure you want to be even handed about all of this?  In a War of this type one must choose sides.  Omitting mention of atrocities and whitewashing those that have history of engaging or educating in tyranny is allowing evil to raise its ugly head against the defenseless unchallenged. Exposing evil for what it is stops evil in its tracks.  Being even handed regarding tyranny is choosing the side of evil.  Being merciful to the cruel is being cruel to the merciful. 

Judea and Samaria are an integral part of Eretz Yisroel.  The Jewish People are the Chosen People by G-d to inherit this Land in order for peace and prosperity to reign throughout the world. A Palestinian State is equivalent to a Radical Islam State whose raison d'etres is their unquenchable desire to stop Israel in establishing a Jewish presence in a  Land where G-d's Word comes from Mount of Zion.  They achieve their goal  via blatant lies and distortions of what is true. They penetrate the very same agencies that are here to protect us like the UN and the Obama Administration.

Will you expose them and give strong support to the Republicans and candidates who happen to expose Radical Islam and those that  support Israel's entitlement to a United Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria? Anyone that supports Israel's right to Judea and Samaria and to Temple Mount  is actively engaged in fighting evil,  exposing Radical Islam  and thereby protecting the world. Robin

Frontpage Interview's guest today is Pamela Geller, founder, editor and publisher of the popular and award-winning weblogAtlasShrugs. com. She has won acclaim for her interviews with internationally renowned figures, including John Bolton, Geert Wilders, Bat Ye'or, Natan Sharansky, and many others, and has broken numerous important stories — notably the questionable sources of some of the financing of the Obama campaign. Her op-eds have been published in The Washington  Times, The American Thinker,Israel National News, Frontpage Magazine, World Net Daily, and New Media Journal, among other publications. She is the co-author (with Robert Spencer) of The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America.
FP: Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
Well, perhaps for those who are familiar with your work and with your book, it is not a big surprise for them that Obama has endorsed a role for the Muslim Brotherhood in a new, post-Mubarak government for Egypt.
I would like to narrow in with you today about the Muslim Brotherhood's penetration of the Obama administration. What can you tell us about this Islamist penetration of the White House?
Geller: Thanks Jamie.
The first thing we need to realize is that the Muslim Brotherhood operates in the United States under a variety of names and organizational umbrellas. Technically, there is no "Muslim Brotherhood" in the United States. But the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others are – according to a document captured in a raid and released by law enforcement in 2007 during the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial) – Brotherhood- linked organizations.
FP: Right, and crystallize for us why we need to be concerned about Brotherhood- linked organizations in the U.S.
Geller: Because, Jamie, that same captured document explains that the Muslim Brotherhood's mission in the U.S. is "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
FP: And people with ties to these organizations are involved with the Obama Administration, right?
Geller: Yes they are, Jamie, in various ways. On the first day of his presidency, the President showed an eagerness to be friendly toward the Brotherhood: he chose Ingrid Mattson, president of ISNA to offer a prayer at the National Cathedral during inaugural festivities on January 20, 2009.

Superficially, Obama's choice was understandable: Ingrid Mattson was a Canadian convert to Islam who carefully cultivated the image of a moderate spokesperson. But ISNA has even admitted ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, which calls itself "one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine."Mattson has also tried to set Jews and Christians against one another. Speaking at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in March 2007, Mattson said: "Right-wing Christians are very risky allies for American Jews, because they [the Christians] are really anti-Semitic. They do not like Jews."
But Obama didn't seem to care about any of that. And so she prayed for Barack Hussein Obama on January 20, 2009. And it gets worse: after that, Valerie Jarrett, Obama's Senior Advisor for Public Engagement and International Affairs and a longtime, close Obama aide, asked Mattson to join the White House Council on Women and Girls, which is dedicated to "advancing women's leadership in all communities and sectors – up to the U.S. presidency – by filling the leadership pipeline with a richly diverse, critical mass of women."
A hijab-wearing leader of a group with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorists and Islamic supremacists – that's diverse, all right!
FP: Yes diverse all right. I wonder why we haven't heard Mattson coming to the defense of victims of honor killings and denouncing the Islamic theological teachings that serve as a buffer for those killings. It would be interesting to know what she would have to say about your article, Honor Killing: Islam's Gruesome Gallery, where you humanize this tragedy by showing us the faces of dead victims and surviving victims of Islamic misogynist violence.
But I guess we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for Mattson to comment. I encourage all of our readers to look at that Gallery to not only get an idea of the viciousness of Islamic gender apartheid, but also of what kind of people Obama is has around him — since they are the ones who are complicit in and sanction this violence.
Ok, let us move on. Tell us more about the Muslim Brotherhood presence in the Obama Administration.
Geller: In June 2009, Obama appointed a Muslim, Kareem Shora, to the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Shora had been executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a group that had generally opposed anti-terror efforts since 9/11 – as have all the Muslim Brotherhood- linked groups in the U.S. But more worrisome was Obama's appointment of another Muslim, Arif Alikhan, to be Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. Alikhan is affiliated with the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), which is another highly deceptive Brotherhood- linked group.
FP: Why did the President make these appointments?
Geller: These appointments were obvious attempts to show the Muslims of the United States and the world that anti-terror efforts were not anti-Islam or anti-Muslim. Shora and Alikhan would stand as moderate Muslims within the DHS, living illustrations of the iron dogma that all Muslims aside from a tiny minority were loyal Americans who abhorred Osama bin Laden and everything he stood for. But when he made the appointment, Obama didn't notice, or didn't care, that as deputy mayor of Los Angeles, Alikhan (who has referred to the jihad terrorist group Hizballah as a "liberation movement") had blocked an effort by the Los Angeles Police Department to gather information about the ethnic makeup of area mosques.
FP: You mean to conduct surveillance in Los Angeles-area mosques?
Geller: No, Jamie. This was not an effort to close down Los Angeles mosques, or to conduct surveillance of them. There was no wiretapping or interrogation involved. No one would be jailed or even inconvenienced. Los Angeles Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing explained in 2007: "We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities." But even outreach was too much for the hypersensitive Muslim leaders of Los Angeles: they cried racism, discrimination, and "Islamophobia" until the LAPD dropped the plan. And Arif Alikhan spearheaded their drive against this initiative.
Did Obama want him to bring to the Department of Homeland Security a similar sensitivity to the quickly wounded feelings of Muslims? I expect so.
FP: Talk a bit about that.
Geller: We are all well aware of Obama's oft-stated commitment to defending and spreading the ideology of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Remember: in Cairo on June 4, 2009, Obama boasted that "the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it….I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal." Five days later, as if to show that Obama was serious about what he said in Cairo, his post-American Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Essex County, New Jersey, charging that the county had discriminated against a Muslim woman, Yvette Beshier.
Beshier was a corrections officer, and had been forbidden to wear her khimar, or headscarf, while working. When she refused to comply, the Essex County Department of Corrections (DOC) first suspended and then fired her – the khimar was not part of the uniform, and corrections officers were expected to conform to uniform policy. But such policies, of course, were drawn up before the days of politically correct multiculturalism. Instead of simply expecting employees to conform to company rules, now the company had to adapt to the religious particularities of its Muslim employees: Barack Obama's Justice Department sued on Beshier's behalf.
When Obama in Cairo boasted about fighting for hijab-wearing women in the United States, he promised to "punish" infidels for not submitting to the dictates and whims of Islam. The lawsuit that followed less than a week later showed that he was in earnest.
It was almost certainly the first time that the United States Justice Department had filed a lawsuit in order to enforce an element of Sharia, Islamic law.
On duty, Yvette Beshier, like all her fellow corrections officers, should have worn religiously neutral garb. Off duty, she could have dressed any way she wanted. But ultimately the Justice Department's suit wasn't really about the dress code at the Essex County Department of Corrections at all. It was about asserting Islamic practices in the U.S., and establishing and reinforcing the precedent that when Islamic law and American law and custom conflicted, it was American law that had to give way.
And that's just how the Muslim Brotherhood would want it.
FP: Interesting. I wonder when Obama will make an announcement that will defend Muslim women's right not to veil and not to fear physical violence or acid attacks on their faces when making that decision? Aqsa Parvez was killed by her father, in part, for not veiling. I wonder why Obama didn't come to Aqsa's defense? Thank you, Pamela, by the way, for coming to Aqsa's defense.
So let's talk about the upheaval in Egypt. What do you think of how Obama is handling the situation?
Geller: Obama approved of a role in the next Egyptian government for the Muslim Brotherhood just as a Brotherhood leader was calling for war several days ago with the tiny Jewish state. It was telling. What better way to unify the ummah than with tried-and-true, religiously mandated Islamic anti-semitism? For all of those quisling clowns desperately trying to scrub the Muslim Brotherhood, this declaration of war was a good hard slap in the face.
Further, it's interesting how the Muslim Brotherhood is blaming Israel for Mubarak's regime. They're not blaming the $300 billion the US has pumped into Egypt. The Camp David Peace Accord (no matter how cold a peace it established) was a good thing. Now we hear that Obama's would-be peace partners, the Muslim Brotherhood group Hamas, are going to destroy the accord. But they want peace with the Jews; get it? Me neither.
Obama has been secretly supporting this revolution for three years. Why? He ignored the people of Iran marching against the annihilationist mullahcracy of Iran. He gave his tacit support to mass slaughter where millions took to the streets.
Anyone who, like Obama, sees a Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt as a good thing secretly dreams of the annihilation of Israel. Big media is not giving you the story. Instead they have the Muslim Brotherhood's U.S. group on, CAIR, calling in from Egypt (and mis-identifying Ahmed Rehab of CAIR as a "democracy activist"). And that was FOX. It's that bad.
I don't believe Obama "lost Egypt"; I believe he kicked it to the curb.
FP: Pamela Geller, thank you for joining Frontpage Interview.
And we encourage all of our readers to get their hands on Ms. Geller's book, co-written with Robert Spencer, The Post-American Presidency:

This will be posted on Shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com

Excellent Kosher News source, TZCFwd: Israel and the Jewish World Feb 4 Caroline Glick, Daniell Greenfield, etc.

bs"d

Besides the attached TZC newsletter I am including   a later Caroline Glickpost, an editor of the Jerusalem Post. Once you start to read Caroline Glick it is hard to put her down. From what I can tell, her posts are being forwarded to many email lists.


Please download the attachment of the TZC newsletter.  It contains a previous Caroline Glick's article.  TZC newsletter is wonderful in my opinion and when I brought it into shul I almost regretted doing so because people couldn't put it down (during leining, the Rabbi's speech etc). Email or call the contact info on top of the newsletter to subscribe to the newsletter weekly.

  There is a mediafare war going on and in a war situation one is not even handed as some of the Jewish Media has been.  Why isn't Caroline Glick on front page news presenting a side that is hidden to the Chareidi world who do not go on the Internet.? Presenting a picture of Obama in Hamodia in an OP ED as between a rock and a hard place is Jewish even handedness which is not appropriate in this case. Obama clearly understands how free elections in Gaza brought Hamas.  Why is he advocating Mubareks ouster and free elections?   Being evenhanded, Hamodia will quote Barry Rubin of Gloria and weaken his points and  readers will come away thinking that there are 2 sides to every story and we don't really know what the actual reality is.  Emphasizing the secular nature of the Egyptian population being doctors and lawyers is actually a distorted picture of this same population that supports Sharia Law.


Most mainstream Jewish M edia do not tell a complete picture as Caroline Glicks presents it here in order to shield the public from an ugly reality reminiscent of the 1930s that  the world does not want to face and defeat.   If we don't know who our enemy is, we will be unable to defeat it.

Let me suggest  Arutz7, Israel National News as well as a good source of Kosher News .  The Republican candidates are not getting as much press as they should be getting.  Kudos to 5TimesJewishTimes and JewishVoiceNY for putting Mr. Mike Huckabee on the front cover. There is no lack of plentiful news sources and blogs who understand radical Islam and expose their motus operendez w/o feeling the need to be evenhanded about it. 

I am compiling a list of what seems to me good news/blgs/organizations/ sources that speak up for our Biblical rights of Judea and Samaria and against a Palestinian State and Radical Islam.  If you have any sources that you love that you feel others should know about feel free to email me.

JTA needs some healthy competition.

Subject: Israel and the Jewish World Feb 4
Column One: Israel and Arab democracy
By CAROLINE B. GLICK, The Jerusalem Post
February 4, 2011
Whether they are democrats or autocrats, we fully expect they will
continue to hate us.

Over the past week, Israel has been criticized for being
insufficiently supportive of democratic change in Egypt. While Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been careful to praise the cause of
democracy while warning against the dangers of an Islamic takeover of
the most populous Arab state, many Israelis have not been so
diplomatic.

To understand why, it is necessary to take a little tour of the Arab world.

In the midst of Tunisia's revolution last month, the Jewish Agency
mobilized to evacuate any members of the country's Jewish community
who wished to leave. Until the end of French colonial rule in 1956,
Tunisia's Jewish community numbered 100,000 members. But like for all
Jewish communities in the Arab world, the advent of Arab nationalism
in the mid-20th century forced the overwhelming majority of Tunisia's
Jews to leave the country. Today, with between 1,500 and 3,000
members, Tunisia's tiny Jewish community is among the largest in the
Arab world.

So far, six families have left for Israel. Many more may follow. Two
weeks ago, Daniel Cohen from Tunis's Jewish community told Haaretz,
"If the situation continues as it is now, we will definitely have to
leave or immigrate to Israel."

Since then, Rached Ghannouchi, the leader of Tunisia's Islamist party
Ennahda, has returned to Tunisia after 22 years living in exile in
London. He was sentenced to life in prison in absentia on terrorism
charges by the regime of ousted president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

Then on Monday night, unidentified assailants set fire to a synagogue
in the town of Ghabes and burned the Torah scrolls. In an interview
with AFP, Trabelsi Perez, president of the Ghriba synagogue, said the
crime was made all the more shocking by the fact that it occurred as
police were stationed close by.

The day after the attack, Roger Bismuth, president of Tunisia's Jewish
community, disputed the view that the scorching of Torah scrolls had
anything to do with anti-Semitism. The man responsible for
representing Tunisia's Jewish community before the evolving new regime
told The Jerusalem Post that the attack was the fault of the Jews
themselves, "because they left [the synagogue] open... This is not an
attack on the Jewish community."

The fear now gripping the Jews of Tunisia is not surprising. The same
fear gripped the much smaller Iraqi Jewish community after the US and
Britain toppled Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003. The Iraqi community
was the oldest, and arguably the most successful, Jewish community in
the Arab world until World War II. Its 150,000 members were leading
businessmen and civil servants during the period of British rule.

Following the establishment of Israel, the Iraqi government revoked
the citizenship of the country's Jews, forced them to flee and stole
their property down to their wedding rings. The expropriated property
of Iraqi Jewry is valued today at more than $4 billion.

Only 7,000 Jews remained in Iraq after the mass aliya of 1951. By the
time Saddam was toppled in 2003, only 32 Jews remained. They were
mainly elderly, and impoverished. And owing to al-Qaida threats and
government harassment, they were all forced to flee.

Shortly after they overthrew Saddam, US forces found the archives of
the Jewish community submerged in a flooded basement of a secret
police building in Baghdad. The archive was dried and frozen and sent
to the US for preservation. Last year, despite the fact that Saddam's
secret police only had the archive because they stole it from the
Jews, the Iraqi government demanded its return as a national treasure.

As embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak began his
counteroffensive against the anti-regime protesters, his mouthpieces
began alleging that the protesters were incited by the Mossad.

For their part, the anti-regime protesters claim that Mubarak is an
Israeli puppet. The protesters brandish placards with Mubarak's image
plastered with Stars of David. A photo of an effigy of newly appointed
vice president, and intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman burned in Tahrir
Square showed him portrayed as a Jew.

ON WEDNESDAY night, Channel 10's Arab affairs commentator Zvi
Yehezkeli ran a depressing report on the status of the graves of
Jewish sages buried in the Muslim world. The report chronicled the
travels of Rabbi Yisrael Gabbai, an ultra-Orthodox rabbi who has taken
upon himself to travel to save these important shrines. As Yehezkeli
reported, last week Gabbai traveled to Iran and visited the graves of
Purim heroes Queen Esther and Mordechai the Jew, and the prophets
Daniel and Habbakuk.

He was moved to travel to Iran after Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad ordered Esther and Mordechai's tomb destroyed. The Iranian
media followed up Ahmadinejad's edict with a campaign claiming that
Esther and Mordechai were responsible for the murder of 170,000
Iranians.

Gabbai's travels have brought him to Iran, Gaza, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon
and beyond. And throughout the Arab and Muslim world, like the
dwindling Jewish communities, Jewish cemeteries are targets for
anti-Semitic attacks. "We're talking about thousands of cemeteries
throughout the Arab world. It's the same problem everywhere," he said.

Israelis have been overwhelmingly outspoken in our criticism of
Western support for the antiregime forces in Egypt due to our
deep-seated concern that the current regime will be replaced by one
dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Representing a minimum of 30 percent of Egyptians, the Muslim
Brotherhood is the only well organized political force in the country
outside the regime.

The Muslim Brothers' organizational prowess and willingness to use
violence to achieve their aims was likely demonstrated within hours of
the start of the unrest. Shortly after the demonstrations began,
operatives from the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood branch in Gaza –
that is Hamas – knew to cross the border into Sinai. And last
Thursday, a police station in Suez was attacked with rocket-propelled
grenades and firebombs.

Hamas has a long history of operations in Sinai.

It also has close ties with Beduin gangs in the area that were
reportedly involved in attacking another police station in northern
Sinai.

Western – and particularly American – willingness to pretend that the
Muslim Brotherhood is anything other than a totalitarian movement has
been greeted by disbelief and astonishment by Israelis from across the
political spectrum.

It is the likelihood that the Muslim Brotherhood will rise to power,
not an aversion to Arab democracy, that has caused Israel to fear the
popular revolt against Mubarak's regime. If the Muslim Brotherhood
were not a factor in Egypt, then Israel would probably have simply
been indifferent to events there, as it has been to the development of
democracy in Iraq and to the popular revolt in Tunisia.

ISRAEL'S INDIFFERENCE to democratization of the Arab world has been a
cause of consternation for some of its traditional supporters in
conservative circles in the US and Europe. Israelis are accused of
provincialism. As citizens of the only democracy in the Middle East,
we are admonished for not supporting democracy among our neighbors.

The fact is that Israeli indifference to democratic currents in Arab
societies is not due to provincialism.

Israelis are indifferent because we realize that whether under
authoritarian rule or democracy, anti-Semitism is the unifying
sentiment of the Arab world. Fractured along socioeconomic, tribal,
religious, political, ethnic and other lines, the glue that binds Arab
societies is hatred of Jews.

A Pew Research Center opinion survey of Arab attitudes towards Jews
from June 2009 makes this clear. Ninety-five percent of Egyptians, 97%
of Jordanians and Palestinians and 98% of Lebanese expressed
unfavorable opinions of Jews. Threequarters of Turks, Pakistanis and
Indonesians also expressed hostile views of Jews.

Throughout the Arab and Muslim world, genocidal anti-Semitic
propaganda is all-pervasive. And as Prof. Robert Wistrich has written,
"The ubiquity of the hate and prejudice exemplified by this hard-core
anti-Semitism undoubtedly exceeds the demonization of earlier
historical periods – whether the Christian Middle Ages, the Spanish
Inquisition, the Dreyfus Affair in France, or the Judeophobia of
Tsarist Russia. The only comparable example would be that of Nazi
Germany in which we can also speak of an 'eliminationist anti-
Semitism' of genocidal dimensions, which ultimately culminated in the
Holocaust."

That is why for most Israelis, the issue of how Arabs are governed is
as irrelevant as the results of the 1852 US presidential elections
were for American blacks. Since both parties excluded them, they were
indifferent to who was in power.

What these numbers, and the anti-Semitic behavior of Arabs, show
Israelis is that it makes no difference which regime rules where. As
long as the Arab peoples hate Jews, there will be no peace between
their countries and Israel. No one will be better for Israel than
Mubarak. They can only be the same or worse.

This is why no one expected for the democratically elected Iraqi
government to sign a peace treaty with Israel or even end Iraq's
official state of war with the Jewish state. Indeed, Iraq remains in
an official state of war with Israel. And after independent lawmaker
Mithal al-Alusi visited Israel in 2008, two of his sons were murdered.
Alusi's life remains under constant threat.

One of the more troubling aspects of the Western media coverage of the
tumult in Egypt over the past two weeks has been the media's move to
airbrush out all evidence of the protesters' anti- Semitism.

As John Rosenthal pointed out this week at The Weekly Standard,
Germany's Die Welt ran a frontpage photo that featured a poster of
Mubarak with a Star of David across his forehead in the background.
The photo caption made no mention of the anti-Semitic image. And its
online edition did not run the picture.

And as author Bruce Bawer noted at the Pajamas Media website, Jeanne
Moos of CNN scanned the protesters' signs, noting how authentic and
heartwarming their misspelled English messages were, yet failed to
mention that one of the signs she showed portrayed Mubarak as a Jew.

Given the Western media's obsessive coverage of the Arab-Israel
conflict, at first blush it seems odd that they would ignore the
prevalence of anti-Semitism among the presumably prodemocracy
protesters. But on second thought, it isn't that surprising.

If the media reported on the overwhelming Jew hatred in the Arab world
generally and in Egypt specifically, it would ruin the narrative of
the Arab conflict with Israel. That narrative explains the roots of
the conflict as frustrated Arab-Palestinian nationalism. It
steadfastly denies any more deeply seated antipathy of Jews that is
projected onto the Jewish state. The fact that the one Jewish state
stands alone against 23 Arab states and 57 Muslim states whose
populations are united in their hatred of Jews necessarily requires a
revision of the narrative. And so their hatred is ignored.

But Israelis don't need CNN to tell us how our neighbors feel about
us. We know already. And because we know, while we wish them the best
of luck with their democracy movements, and would welcome the advent
of a tolerant society in Egypt, we recognize that that tolerance will
end when it comes to the Jews. And so whether they are democrats or
autocrats, we fully expect they will continue to hate us.

Attention Jewish Media and Rabbonim: From the office of MK Nissim Zeev's, meeting with Mike Huckabee: הודעה לעיתונות - ח"כ נסים זאב ארח את המושל מייק הוקבי בכנסת

bs"d

Note the pictures attached sent to me from Nissem Zeev's office hosting Mr. Huckabee.

Please also look at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142051 

(INN)....Voight: Torah Has All the Answers
Former Gov. Huckabee is being accompanied on this, his 15th visit to Israel, by known Zionist figures Dr. Joseph Frager, Dr. Paul Brody and Ms. Odeleya Jacobs, as well as by actor Jon Voight, who told the MKs, "The Jews have given the world the Torah, which includes every possible answer to your life's needs... I witnessed the victims of barbaric Palestinian attacks, and it is outrageous that the world accepts this barbarism as a means of attaining political goals such as a state."        

Even though the Jewish Community and major Jewish Organizations  has much invested in the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, with Mike Huckabee as a key example is broadcasting to the Israeli Knesset and the world a message that is based on Torah which is that our entitlement to all of the Land of Israel including Judea and Samaria is based on our Biblical land historical .connection to the land. 

It is time that the Media, especially the Jewish Media understand that media creates facts on the ground as Al Jezeera has proven in Tunisia.  Please read .http://www.hudson-ny.org/1835/tunisia-al-jazeera-islamist-revolution The war is being fought on many fronts.  There is lawfare and mediafare and warfare.   I am addressing mediafare at the moment.

Even handedness of Democrats and Republicans translates into even handedness presentation of  Palestinian rights to Eretz Yisroel vs. Jewish rights to Eretz Yisroel.  

The Torah is not very evenhanded regarding this matter.  Only Jews have entitlement and the Land will not produce for any foreign entity other than the Jewish People. The people of Israel will not be safe with any other arrangement and neither will the people outside of Israel be safe with foreign occupiers of the Land of Israel.  The "spiritual music" that Jewish settlement  in the Land of Israel brings to mankind will be silenced and destruction and pain takes over.

As far as the Palestinian Authority being the practical reality on the ground, it is only so because Politics and the Media presents it as a practical reality.  In fact this "practical reality"  is based on falsehoods, lies and distortions of Press that claims that the Land of Israel is "occupied", illegally of course,  by Jewish Settlement. 

As Orthodox Jews, we all know that G-d says in the ;Holy Torah  "Ki Li Kol Haaretz". The Land is Mine. Not even a prime minister of the Israeli gov't or the editor of a "Torah" publication or news broadcaster or Rav,  can or should misrepresent reality that change the Truths and Realities based on Torah.

Our obligations to present the facts based on Torah truths is no longer an option.  It is a necessity for the benefit not only of Israel but as Mike Huckabee says, it's for the benefit for all of humanity.  When we fail to do so, Islamic fundamentalism begins to gain the upper hand and literally  takes over. 

So will you put Mike Huckabee and his message on your front page?????? or will you offer another  "even handed" piece putting down  Sarah Palin and the rage she incurred when she needed to defend herself against a blood libel. ?  

And ;if you say this does not affect local news and that you only print local news, , tell that to the parents of students of Brooklyn College whose college age children  have required reading authored by  a Radical Muslim and have to put up with nasty campus Muslim protests regarding safety checkpoints in Judea and Samaria. .  http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2010/10/its-not-only-columbia-university-read.htmlRobin

To all my readers, please forward this to media and Rabbanim since I'm not sure if my emails are getting through.

 Women In Green  
Dear Friends,
 
Below please find the translation into Englsih of Rivki Goldfingers article in the Besheva newspaper this past shabbat
 
with love for Israel,
 
Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar

15 Shevat 5771 * January 20, 2011
 
They make facts on the Ground
            Their jeep dauntlessly sweeps across the hills and dirt roads throughout Gush Etzion and the Hebron hills, and not a single dunam of land escapes their eyes.
by Rivki Goldfinger
 
            Their jeep dauntlessly sweeps across the hills and dirt roads throughout Gush Etzion and the Hebron hills, and not a single dunam of land escapes their eyes * For five years Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katsover have been struggling for Jewish possession of the area, while keeping track of the worrisome Arab takeover * In the battle for the land, they want, first of all, to "establish facts on the ground" * The strategy: hundreds of plantings of new trees throughout the year that will establish who are the owners of the land
 
            Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katsover, the leaders of the Women in Green movement, devote their time to "the war over home," as they define this. They fear no one. Speeding in a white jeep throughout Gush Etzion, spreading out maps and examining every new development on the ground. This week I joined them for a patrol. They take me to the edge of the Palestinian town of Beit Sahour, where we encountered trucks, going about their business as if they belonged there, leveling areas at the foot of the hill, close to the Shdema military outpost. Yehudit Katsover makes a call to the commander of the Etzion Brigade, to update him.
 
Under the Aegis of the Dutch Government
             We continue toward our second stop: the Netzer Hill, that is situated between Elazar and Alon Shvut. Nadia cruises in her vehicle up on the rocky hill. Arab and Jewish agricultural plots are scattered around, all mixed together. Nadia and Yehudit go into the field almost every day, and it's obvious that they are totally familiar with the area. To the right, close to the fence of the community of Elazar, is an agricultural plot that an Arab has taken over. "He planted grape vines here," Katsover says, and explains that by taking over the lands adjoining the fence, the Arabs hope to prevent the expansion of the communities. Nadia hands me an up-to-date contour map. "In this region there are hundreds of dunams that are defined as state lands. In the past two years the Arabs, who are financed by international bodies, have been accelerating the takeover of the land. They are acting at an insane pace in order to prevent Jewish settlement continuity between Elazar, Alon Shvut, and Efrat. A stubborn struggle is being waged here for every piece of land," Nadia says, and points to a metal sign proudly standing in one of the plots, teaching that the Dutch government is financing and aiding the Arab residents in the area to steal their land.
 
            The initial activity at Netzer began as the private initiative of a number of families from the community of Elazar, who felt that they cannot remain apathetic in light of the reality of the theft of more and more state lands. With their meager resources they went out into the field and began to build and plant grape vines and olive trees. "They understood that it was impossible to stand by and wait for the state to be so good as to do something about this, for precious time was passing, and there is no reality of a vacuum here. It;'s either us or them," Katsover states and wants to expand on the Palestinian method of the takeover of state lands. "They plant olive trees, and after ten years, in accordance with the law, claim ownership of the land. We have the Defense Minister closing his eyes here. When we try to build houses here, they destroyed them eight times. When we planted trees, we received endless [Civil Administration] orders. There is a distorted reality here, in which the political echelon, together with the Civil Administration, do not defend the state lands."
 
            "A lack of any response on our part invited further takeovers of state [land] areas," Nadia explains. "The Arabs, without any doubt, keenly smell weakness. It seems that in the end the responsibility for guarding Israel's lands will fall, as usual, on the shoulders of the little citizen. This is our message. When the government doesn't do, then we, the 'little people,'must arise and act. It definitely is possible to change. We call to everyone to join the struggle and aid us in taking these hills."
 
Galilee on Behalf of Gush Etzion
            "The beginning at Netzer was not at all simple," Nadia sighs, and describes how, for many weeks, a stormy conflict was waged between the Arabs and the Jewish inhabitants. The Arabs uprooted the dozens of grape vines that had been planted by Women in Green activists. In response, the Jewish activists planted a number of mature olive trees that were donated by farmers from the north. Already the next day the Arabs uprooted the trees, but the activists came back at night and replanted them.
 
            After a number of days, about ten Arabs came to the area, equipped with axes and electric saws, and they began to very violently cut down the olive trees. The Jewish residents of the area quickly ran toward the plot, and physically defended the trees. "Since then, there has been damage to the trees or to the irrigation pipes here and there. In the last two years the Arabs, with extensive international funding, have noticeably intensified the seizure of state lands. In order to try and prevent the Arabs from taking over the lands, we plant more and more olive trees and grape vines. What a wonderful feeling it is to plant a tree in Eretz Israel. To feel the land with the palms of your hands. With G-d's help, in this way we have already redeemed dozens of dunams of state lands," Nadia states with satisfaction.
 
            The professional assistance for the maintenance and nurturing of the plants at Netzer is given, on a volunteer basis, by Uri Plasse from the moshav of Sdeh Yaakov in Galilee. "Uri harnessed himself to the mission with outstanding dedication," Katsover says, with esteem. " Once or twice a week he leaves his large and flourishing farm in Galilee and comes here to work in the field." Plasse, for his part, relates to this totally naturally. "As far as I am concerned, this is the natural continuation of Zionism and settlement in Eretz Israel. Zionism is not a product with an expiration date, it rather continues to this very day," he says, during the last preparations for the coming plantings in the area, that will be conducted this week in public in honor of Tu bi-Shevat.
 
            A number of weeks ago, during a planting on Route 60, between the Gush Etzion junction and Efrat, Nadia and Yehudit spotted a Palestinian Authority police car driving freely. They couldn't believe their eyes. Nadia quickly pulled out a camera and documented it. When the Palestinian police spotted her, they unhesitatingly responded with a "V" victory sign. "We rubbed our eyes. The Palestinian police is traveling among us, with no problems, and in such a challenging way. We immediately called the army to determine how this was possible. This is a change in policy," Nadia notes, and explains that until recently the Palestinian police were forbidden from leaving the bounds of Area A, and in the transit points between one area and another they were required to have coordination and an escort of IDF soldiers. "The concessions granted to the Palestinian police are unreasonable, and we must not become accustomed to this,"she states decisively.
 
            An additional expression of the lack of Israeli rule in the field is what the two call the "greenhouse intifada." Anyone who traveled in the past two months in the Judea region could not help noting that many dozens of large and brand-new agricultural greenhouses that were built for the Arab inhabitants have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain in Areas B and C. Within a short period, many dozens of greenhouses have been erected. It should be clear - this is not by chance. This is a new intifada - the greenhouse intifada, and this is totally orchestrated and organized," Nadia Matar warns. "When I travel on the road between Efrat and Tekoa, or in the southern Hebron hills between Kiriat Arba and Otniel, wherever I look I see greenhouses. They've surrounded the Adorayim camp, too, with a lot of greenhouses. They're really choking the camp. This is an unacceptable situation," Matar says.
 
The Civilians Who Brought Back the IDF
            Nadia, the mother of six and a resident of Efrat, was born in Antwerp, Belgium. She came to Israel as an olah at the age of 18. She studied education and Jewish history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where she met her husband, Dr. David Matar. Together with her mother-in-law Ruth, some 18 years ago, she established the Women in Green organization. Matar, who gained fame in the past by her conspicuous presence at demonstrations of the right, changed her strategy over the years. Now she advocates focusing on action and on establishing facts on the ground. "I reached the conclusion that in a country like ours demonstrations alone are a waste of energy. It's more effective to establish facts on the ground. To build, to plant, to settle. True, the struggle for the lands is intensive and daily, but we will triumph only if we demonstrate constancy and determination. Quiet and organized demonstrations are not enough. The whole world must understand that we are determined in the struggle for Eretz Israel," Nadia says, with Katsover nodding her head in agreement.
 
            Katzover (63), the wife of Zvi Katzover, the former head of the Kiriat Arba Council, came to Israel as an olah from Transylvania, as a girl. She has been living in Kiriat Arba "from the Kiriah's first day," and was one of the women who settled with their children in Beit Hadassah in Hebron in 1979 and lived there about a year, under extremely difficult conditions. At present Katsover is the director of the teaching program in the Kiriat Arba-Hebron College.
 
            They began their shared path during the time of the upheaval that followed the expulsion from Gush Katif, and since then they see eye to eye in the diverse range of their activities.
 
            The first struggle together was for the opening of the Zaatra bypass road that connects eastern Gush Etzion with Har Homa and Jerusalem. "The road was open for Arabs. Unlike them, the Jews had to travel via Efrat and the tunnels road. Instead of a trip of approximately 6 minutes, they had to travel roundabout, for a trip of almost an hour." After an extended struggle, together with many activists, the road was opened to traffic.
 
            Immediately afterwards the two geared up for the abandoned military camp of Shdema in eastern Gush Etzion. Completely by chance, they learned of the intent to annex the camp's lands to the town of Beit Sahour. "We read a report in Hatzofeh that within the context of the gestures [i.e., to the Palestinians], the Olmert government agreed to transfer the location, that is a five minute drive from Har Homa, a place which is the Israeli Area C, to the Palestinian Authority in order to build an Arab hospital. The site was used as an IDF base until it was abandoned two years earlier, in 2006," Nadia relates about the beginning of the struggle for Jewish possession of Shdema. "We took out maps, and we realized that this was an extremely strategic location. We understood that if this camp were to be handed over, it would endanger the Har Homa neighborhood and choke Gush Etzion. Obviously, this is secondary to the fact that this is the land of Eretz Israel, and it is absolutely forbidden to hand it over," she stresses.
 
            "We unquestionably had divine help," Katsover observes. "We arrived at the place the following day, and we found an Arab bulldozer already working to prepare the land. We understood that we had to act, the faster the better. The 'Committee for a Jewish Shdema' action committee was founded, that devoted itself to this issue with all its strength," Katsover says and quotes the words of Rabbi Harlap, who says that Eretz Israel is the central point in our generation. "It isn't enough to know these things theoretically," she adds, "rather, they must be translated into deeds. To take possession of and to expand in Eretz Israel."
                       
            The Palestinians asked to receive the camp at the top of the hill, claiming that they want to establish there an orthopedic hospital and a large playground. The site was even officially inaugurated in a highly impressive ceremony in which the Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad was present. Anarchists, leftists, and international bodies came to the assistance of the Arabs. In order to remove Shdema from Jewish hands, colossal budgets flowed from various sources in the world. "They didn't really want to establish a hospital there, but they understood that Israel could not say 'No' to such a humanitarian request. Beit Sahour has dozens of dunams of land in their town, why did they insist on receiving Shdema, specifically?" Katsover asks, and explains that the camp controls Har Homa and the Tekoa-Jerusalem road. "That's why they wanted it. It came to the stage that all that was needed was the approval of the political echelon in order to finally turn over the camp. Only a single signature of Defense Minister Ehud Barak would have been enough for us to lose the struggle. We didn't agree to just give up. We saw the struggle for Shdema as the struggle for Jerusalem," she emphasizes.
 
The Power of an Additional Tree
            In order to ensure the camp's future, a diverse range of lectures, classes, and exhibitions were conducted at the site on weekends. Hundreds arrived from all over the country to participate in the activity, and thereby lend a hand to maintaining a Jewish presence at Shdema. At the same time, a lobby was formed of Knesset members who were involved in this matter. From the other side, much pressure was exerted from the direction of European and American organizations and the Palestinian Authority, with the intent of advancing the handing over of the area. The Jewish presence there, along with attempts by leftist activists, anarchists, and Palestinians to take control of the area, often led to harsh confrontations between the sides.
 
            After a stubborn two-year struggle, it was decided that the IDF would reestablish the military camp at Shdema. Nadia and Yehudit warmly praise the decision. We go to visit the soldiers serving at the base. The IDF soldiers staying there receive us very nicely, and are completely unaware of the lengthy struggle over the future of their base, which was replete with international interests, that was waged until recently.
 
            During the course of the patrol, I am witness to a telephone call from the residents of the Har Homa neighborhood who want to urgently report about Arab tractors engaged in earthmoving close to the fence of their neighborhood. A quick check reveals that this is indeed state land, and the message by Nadia and Yehudit is clear: "Go into the field as quickly as possible, and establish facts on the ground." "We have to be aware of what's happening here," Katsover says. "The struggle for the land is being waged everywhere. We have to leave behind our apathy. We have to be alert. Another tree and another flower can change reality."

From Elisheva Federman, a request of help, Carlebach Family and Federman Families and the destruction of "illegal" Jewish homes

bs"d

I sometimes amaze myself with the wealth of material I get within the span of 15 minutes on the internet. Thank you to Arieh Zaritsky of Eretz Yisroel Shelanu, Michelle Nevada and Jpost for sending many of  the links below.. 

2005 Gush Katif,  Listen to Katsav talk in Hebrew about the legality of the Prime Minister of Israel to implement the expulsion of  Jews from their homes in Gush Katif and how he has full confidence in Israel's legal system.  This "just" legal system now turned against him and created his own personal destruction.

Moshe Feiglin, Moshe Katzav and Punishment for Supporting Jews Expulsion
    (H) http://www.sos-israel.com/index.asp?pageID=45042&siteLang=3
Video: Katzav is Confident in the Israeli Court (H) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHUouVaegGo

Apparently, Israel's court system is impotent to allow  building in Judea and Samaria.  All of the territories are under the jurisdiction of the Defense Ministry.  Ehud Barak it seems has total power over whether the communities in Judea are built or they stagnate.  He decides whether or not they get permits.  ( Talk about taxation w/o representation! ) Perfect reason for a tea party.  Why should residents of Judea and Samaria  pay their taxes to a government that gives control over their lives into the hands of one individual by the name of Ehud Barak  because he happens to be the Defense Minister????  Their gov't is officially the defense dept since they are not annexed by Israel.   Read about Maaleh Adumim's and Ariel's struggle.

Ma'aleh Adumim and Ariel beg PM to okay new building


Rather than submit to the "legalities" of strangulation, believers in the Torah, families like the Federman's and the Carlebach's build their homes, plant their gardens and raise their sheep and goats, chickens ducks and horses to  fulfill G-d's promise of abundance and prosperity. 

By this very "illegal act", they become enemies of the State of Israell and are treated accordingly.  It happened 2 and 1/2 years ago to the Federmans and now once again to the Carlebach's.
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuo7ay_rmgs

  
 These two acts of destruction,  share in common  total disregard of any human decency and demonstrate purposeful intent to generate the maximum  emotional trauma to the lives of a mother and her child/children.  It seems almost impossible for this to have been executed by a Jewish soul since it is devoid of anything that we recognize as compassion the trademark of a Jew.

Noam Federman's Home Destroyed by Government Goons


It's time to raise h-ll.  The Gov't of Israel is acting in Solidarity with a Fascist Islamic Palestinian State and are allowing the Arabs who reject Jewish Sovereignty and embrace a Fascist Islamic Palestinian State to build while putting a stop to Jewish building. 

In addition, the gov't of Israel allows this Muslim population to grow up educated to glorify sacrificing children as martyrs in the name pf Shahid and the Holy War as they rejoice in the wedding of their martyrs in their H-ly Union in the afterworld. 

Martyrs and terrorist prisoners source of pride for Palestinian families

Kol Hakavod Robin.
You should know, that for us, the people who try to hold strongly this Holy Land, against a strong hostile government and Arab terrorist- your support is very meaningful. We would not have been able to face these challenges on our own. All of your initiatives are blessed.

Looking at the video of young Mrs. Carlebach, took me back to the terrible night two and a half years ago, when my home was bulldozed and I was thrown to the street with my 9 children. Baruch Hashem we held the Brit of our 10th child at the place the house used to be, only 8 month after the demolition. Now we have returned to live there. I am attaching a letter I've sent a few weeks ago asking people to help us return to our farm. We are still trying stubbornly to hold on to our little plot of land, in Hebron mountains. We do so, for the sake of our people, land and to do Kiddush Hashem. You, and many good Jews which live overseas, but are with us completely in heart and mind, make it possible for us.

May Hashem be with all of us, בעזרת ה' נעשה ונצליח
Shavua Tov.

Dear Friends,

 

My name is Elisheva Federman.  I am the wife of Noam Federman and the mother of 10 children.  We are living on a farm next to the holy city of Hebron.

 It is very rare to find people who have the means and decide to support the right activities.  Most wealthy people are not very responsive to the on-going struggle of Jewish identity for people like us.  Our enemies have so much support from all over the world, and most wealthy Jews prefer to support left-winged groups, who help our enemies.

I assume you have some knowledge of who my husband is, and what he went through, being a most devoted son of our nation.  During 20 years of marriage, I have found out how hard this kind of life can be.  I gave birth to half of my children while Noam was in prison, under different administrative detentions.  Nonetheless, I continued raising our family in the holy city of Hebron.  I feel thankful to the One Above, for giving me the strength to do so.

After the terrible disengagement, Noam was released from a three year term of house arrest.  We then considered how to serve the Jewish people in a more beneficial way.  We felt the only strong and proper response to that horrible act by the Israeli government, was for Jews to go out to the small "settlements" and redeem the Holy Land of Israel.  So we used our life savings (it was 200,000 NIS which is an enormous fortune for people like us) and invested it in a small plot of land close to Hebron.  (We love Hebron so much; we needed to stay within walking distance of the Tomb of the Patriarchs.)

We built a house and planted trees: olives, figs, pomegranate, grapevines, and other fruit trees that our beloved country is blessed with.

We have also bought some goats, chickens, ducks, and horses and established a little Jewish farm.  Changing our lifetime habits to this new life of working on the land was difficult.  First of all, because we had no knowledge or experience with the management and problems of farm life, and secondly, because the authorities have been fighting us every step of the way.  They have tried on more than one occasion to expel us from this land.  Like ba'aley t'shuva, we have studied the land and learned how to work it.  No words can describe the elation we feel, becoming one with the Land of Israel.  But, as I said, the authorities have been attacking us time and time again.  It started when they disconnected us from water and electricity, continued when they arrested us for illegal building and the climax was the cruel destruction of our house two years ago.  They came in the middle of the night, with no warning, arrested Noam and the oldest girls (aged 17 and 16 at the time), threw me and the little children out of the house, and demolished it, with all our belongings in it, right in front of our eyes.  In a short two hour period of time, they destroyed what took us a lifetime to build.

Two days later, I found out that I was pregnant with our tenth child.  I felt it was a miracle. With Hashem's help we held his Brit Mila ceremony at the renovating farm. No words can describe our feeling…

People have gathered to help us to restore our life.  Money was collected for furniture and other items that needed replacement.  However, the damage was so great, we have managed to recover less that one-third of what we lost.

Today we live in a small wooden shed on our farm.  With a lot of hard work and strong faith, we have cleared the ruins of our farm and started to build again.  We believe that only if we remain strong and persistent will we be able to keep this land and never loose it again.

I am writing you this letter because we need help to continue what we have started: we need to fix the house for the winter, we have no insulation, and the hills of Hebron get very cold in the winter.  We have to cover the house and make it dry and warm.  We want to renovate the animal pen and bring in new goats.  We want to plant grapevines, to replace the grapevines which were destroyed by the police.  We want to restore the farm to the condition it was in before.  Or perhaps even improve it….

If you identify with our goal to redeem and revitalize this Holy Land, near the City of Our Forefathers - please help us.

 

May G-d bless you in all of your endeavors; for the compassion you have shown to the people of Israel, and the concern you have shown for the Land of Israel.

 

Yours sincerely,

Elisheva Federman
