Violent video of Migron last week סרט ממיגרון לפני שבוע

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7AkrOGBP9A

 

The Torah warns, "Do not plow with an ox - a kosher animal - and a donkey - a non-kosher animal - together.  The Torah is hinting that a tzaddik must never join a rasha in any undertaking (even if it seems righteous) (Baal HaTurim) page 261 The Medrash Says Parshat Ki Saitzai.  

One Mitzva Brings another and one Aveira brings another.

What can we in Israel and in Brooklyn do to make sure another Migron and another Amona and another Gush Katif and another Yamit doesn't happen again!

Likud has betrayed it's membership and those who put them in power!

It's time for Jews voting in Israel to separate from Netanyahu's administration and if necessary break from Likud. In Brooklyn and Queens, Jews must vote for Turner rather than Weprin.  The world must hear loud and strong our message to Netanyahu and Obama administration that we refuse to join with evil! 

 B"h Dov Hikind and Ed Koch, strong Democrats are strongly and courageously endorsing Turner a Republican to show with their vote and their supporters votes that those who join with Obama will pay the price politically.

 I was happy to see that Agudah signed their names in full page ads to support Turner rather than Weprin in order to vote for Jewish morality and for Israel. We can no longer sit on a fence. Do we choose Life or Death?  Will we finally end the trend of destruction and start anew with a trend of rebuilding and growth or will we tolerate evil, condemn merely with words but without substance, and wait until the next tsunami of destruction hits our path?

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have organized this Freedom Rally. It is my privilege to be part of it, along with a host of distinguished speakers.  Helen Freedman     911Freedom.com AFDI/SIOA 9/11 Freedom Rally Welcomes Clergy, First Responders, 9/11 Family Members Banned From Official Ceremonies Reuters  NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The human rights organization American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) will be hosting its second annual  9/11 Freedom Rally on September 11 at 3pm at Park Place and West Broadway.     While clergy, 9/11 first responders, and 9/11 family members are barred and/or not invited to the official ceremonies, all are welcome at the 9/11 Freedom Rally. And while White House guidelines forbid official 9/11 ceremonies from mentioning who attacked the U.S. on that day or why, the 9/11 Freedom Rally features more honest speakers.   Free citizens are coming from all over the U.S. to attend the rally. "Honor our war and stand for freedom and against the deception and lies being used to subdue us," said AFDI Executive Director Pamela Geller.  "We must show the jihadists we are unbowed in the defense of freedom."   AFDI and its Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) program are encouraging all Americans to stand against the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero and the anti-Semitic Durban III conference that will be held in New York City at the same time, and for American values on the tenth anniversary of the worst attack ever on American soil.   The confirmed list of speakers includes 9/11 family members, including Rosaleen Tallon, sister of hero firefighter and reservist in the United States Marine Corps, Sean Tallon, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks; Nelly Braginskaya, who lost her son Alex; Sally Regenhard, mother of hero firefighter Christian Regenhard, killed in the 9/11 attacks (Regenhard is an American activist who has become one of the leading voices for the families of the victims of September 11); U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton; German MP Rene Stadtkewitz, leader of Germany's Freedom Party; Dr. Arieh Eldad, former candidate for Prime Minister of Israel, Member of the Knesset; Ezra Levant, TV anchor, newspaper columnist, author, founding publisher of the Western Standard magazine, the only Canadian media outlet to publish the Danish cartoons of Muhammad (livestreaming on SUN TV), Sudanese ex-slave and freedom fighter Simon Deng; war hero and North Carolina Congressional candidate Ilario Pantano; popular radio host Joyce Kaufman; Helen Freedman, Americans for a Safe Israel; Darla Dawald, National Director of the Patriot Action Network; James Lafferty of the Virginia Anti-Sharia Taskforce (VAST); Coptic Christian activist Joseph  Nassralla; Iraqi ex-Muslim Michael Paul; and others.   Members of the clergy (banned from the official ceremonies) will be there for the invocation. And first responders, who were not invited to the official ceremonies, will speak and are welcome at 9/11 Freedom Rally.   Hosting the rally are Pamela Geller, publisher of the acclaimed AtlasShrugs.com blog, executive director of AFDI and SIOA, and author of Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance (WND Books); and AFDI/SIOA associate director Robert Spencer, the bestselling author and director of Jihad Watch.     The evening of September 11, Geller and Spencer will host a special screening of the groundbreaking film, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second  Wave of the 911 Attacks (more here), at The Actor's Temple Theater on 47th between 8th and 9th Avenues. RSVP to GroundZeroMosque@aol.com  . Building the Ground Zero mosque is not an issue of religious freedom, but of resisting an effort to insult the victims of 9/11 and to establish a beachhead for political Islam and Islamic supremacism in New York. Cordoba Initiative board member imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is an open proponent of Sharia, Islamic law, a system that denies the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people before the law. Given the thousands of triumphal mosques that have been built on the cherished sites of conquered peoples throughout Islamic history, the mosque leaders' claim that this mosque would be understood differently by Muslims worldwide lack foundation.     The Durban III conference follows upon two previous conferences that scapegoated and demonized the state of Israel in service of Islamic jihad and Islamic supremacist interests. The rally will defend Israel against the defamation to which it will be subjected at this conference. It will also call upon the city to remove roadblocks to the reconstruction of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which was destroyed on 9/11 and since then mired in bureaucratic red tape that has prevented its rebuilding - in stark contrast to the help Mayor Bloomberg and other city officials have given to the Ground Zero Mosque project.   AFDI/SIOA is one of America's foremost organizations defending human rights, religious liberty, and the freedom of speech against Islamic supremacist intimidation and attempts to bring elements of Sharia to the United States.

Judea and Samaria Activism for Dummies! JOIN NOW a campaign to 1.Stop US funding of UN budget that works against US values and goals and support House Resolution 2829. 2. End US aid to PA!

bs"d

and it was quite easy...

Below please read Susie Dym's instructions below for those of us who are novices at activism for Judea and Samaria.  But first read a bit of why such activism is necessary!    I followed Susie's instructions and went on UCI's website  and a fax was automatically generated to co-sponsor House Resolution 2829 and  sent to my Senator, Senator Gillibrand and to my Congressman's office (formerly,Anthony Wiener and  the new Congressman to be elected in the upcoming special election). UCI's link, linked me to Senator Gillibrands website whereby  I also drafted a personal letter to Senator Gillibrand asking her to co-sponsor Ileana Rose-Lehitan's House Resolution 2829 and to vote to stop funding to the PA and it was quite easy.

Arlene Kushner writes:

The US currently provides 22% of the UN's budget ($7.7 billion in 2010!!).  Much of what is funded with this US donation works against US values and goals and is a waste of US tax dollars.  It is on this basis that your Congresspersons should be urged to support House Resolution 2829.  The US can ill-afford to waste money in this fashion.

 

Chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) -- who is a wise and forthright woman, and a great friend of Israel -- on August 30 introduced House Resolution 2829, which is now in committee. It is intended to promote transparency, accountability, and reform within the United Nations system, and would have an effect on how US donations to the UN are directed and when they may be withheld.  Under this bill, the US -- instead of giving across the board funding -- would decide which programs to support. Funds to the ant-Israel Human Rights Council, for example, would stop immediately.

 

Significantly, the bill proposes immediately cutting America's financial contribution to any program or agency of the UN that supports Palestinian bid for recognition and membership.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

The bill currently has 57 co-sponsors.  I ask you most urgently to write to your Congresspersons and encourage them to sign on as co-sponsors, if they have not already done so.  

 

Other arguments (with a nod to UCI):

 

- UN agencies are filled with representatives of the most tyrannical nations in the world, some of the worst abusers of human rights.  Yet these nations continue to pass multiple resolutions condemning Israel while ignoring their own inhumanity.

- Financial corruption is rampant and investigation has documented billions of dollars funneled into private accounts of U.N. officials.

- Hamas is not listed as a terrorist entity by the UN. Via a process involving UNRWA, Hamas ends up as a beneficiary of UN largesse.

- The Palestinian refugees have been maintained by UNRWA for more than 60 years.  They languish in deplorable conditions in "refugee camps" where they are indoctrinated in terrorism and hatred of Israel.

 

http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml

 

Additionally, please! write letters to the editor and op-eds regarding this issue.

 

Here is a place to make a difference.  Please, don't put this off.

UN Issues from Arlene Kushner: Must read because fighting this War on Terror depends on each and every one of us. Every person a soldier, Media people are Officers, Rabbanim are Lieutenants. Don't shirk your obligation!

bs"d

This is an extremely important email.  As Arlene points points out billions of American tax payer dollar goes to the hands of those that promote terror and abuse human rights. With Hashem's help we can stop it if we only try. This must be on our radar screen and on the front page! Please focus on it in shul  Drashas because it is a matter of Pikuach Nefesh and if you do your part it will be felt and strengthen the war against evil and if not, the opposite chas vechalila.  It's either Bracha or Kelala and no middle ground.  Those who have taken the initiative must be given recognition and  supported. Our united voices needs to be heard. Yasher Kochachem and Shabbat Shalom Umevorach!

"UN Issues"

 

I want to concentrate today on the UN, and the up-coming Durban III.  What's encouraging here is the enormous response against Durban III that is being mounted.  While there is much ugliness in the world, there seems to be far less passivity with regard to it. This is a hopeful sign

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Eye on the UN, the organization headed by Anne Bayefsky, has put out a short new video regarding "Durban III and the Perils of Global Intolerance":  http://www.durbanwatch.com/  On this same page you can find backgrounders regarding Durban I and II.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

The date for Durban III at the UN is September 22.  At the same time, there will be a counter-conference sponsored by The Hudson Institute -- with which Bayefsky is associated -- and Touro College Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust at the Millennium UN Plaza Hotel.

 

What a line-up of speakers they will have, including: John Bolton, Mike Hukabee, Dore Gold, Ruth Wisse, Wafa Sultan, Khaled Abu Toameh, and Simon Deng.

 

There will be a live conference webcast and at the durbanwatch site above you can secure information for logging into that.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Perhaps even more important is "We Have a Dream: Global Summit Against Discrimination and Persecution.," sponsored by an international coalition of NGOs.  This will be "a parallel summit to place urgent situations of discrimination and persecution on the international agenda, promote human rights and democracy, and give a voice to the voiceless."

 

The goal, quite simply, is to focus public attention on the genuine human rights atrocities taking place in the world, as counterpoint to the obscene and libelous UN charge that Israel is the greatest violator of human rights.  At one and the same time it will put the lie to the Durban III charges and, as its PR indicates, "give a voice to the voiceless."  It will call attention to genuine human suffering that is too often ignored. 

 

The Summit will take place on September 21 and 22 on the UN Plaza across the street from the UN.  And it will feature people such as a survivor of Tiananmen Square and president of Initiatives for China; one of the "lost boys of Sudan," as well as people connected to and fighting against human rights abuses in places such as Vietnam, Cuba, Burma, Rwanda, Sudan and Iran.  There will be, for example, a spokesperson for the Uyghur people, a Chinese ethnic people that endures suffering at the hands of the Chinese government.  

 

There will be a webcast of these proceedings as well, which you should be able to access at: NGOsummit.org.

Lastly, and very significantly, there is this:

 

Chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) -- who is a wise and forthright woman, and a great friend of Israel -- on August 30 introduced House Resolution 2829, which is now in committee. It is intended to promote transparency, accountability, and reform within the United Nations system, and would have an effect on how US donations to the UN are directed and when they may be withheld.  Under this bill, the US -- instead of giving across the board funding -- would decide which programs to support. Funds to the ant-Israel Human Rights Council, for example, would stop immediately.

 

Significantly, the bill proposes immediately cutting America's financial contribution to any program or agency of the UN that supports Palestinian bid for recognition and membership.

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

The bill currently has 57 co-sponsors.  I ask you most urgently to write to your Congresspersons and encourage them to sign on as co-sponsors, if they have not already done so.  

 

The US currently provides 22% of the UN's budget ($7.7 billion in 2010!!).  Much of what is funded with this US donation works against US values and goals and is a waste of US tax dollars.  It is on this basis that your Congresspersons should be urged to support House Resolution 2829.  The US can ill-afford to waste money in this fashion.

 

Other arguments (with a nod to UCI):

 

- UN agencies are filled with representatives of the most tyrannical nations in the world, some of the worst abusers of human rights.  Yet these nations continue to pass multiple resolutions condemning Israel while ignoring their own inhumanity.

- Financial corruption is rampant and investigation has documented billions of dollars funneled into private accounts of U.N. officials.

- Hamas is not listed as a terrorist entity by the UN. Via a process involving UNRWA, Hamas ends up as a beneficiary of UN largesse.

- The Palestinian refugees have been maintained by UNRWA for more than 60 years.  They languish in deplorable conditions in "refugee camps" where they are indoctrinated in terrorism and hatred of Israel.
