bs"d More on Honenu.

bs"d

Honenu (www.honenu.org) is a legal defense organization operating in Israel. We provide legal assistance to approximately 1000 arrestees a year. Soldiers and civilians who find themselves in legal hassles due to defending themselves against Arab aggression or due to their love and commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. They have an organization that will come to their aid 24 hours a day to make sure that they receive a fair judicial process. In the Arab-Jewish conflict in Israel there are over a dozen foreign funded organizations helping our enemies. We are the only legal defense organization helping our own people. Our website has more information.

 

Shalom Pollack ( http://honenu.org/shalom-pollack/  ) will be available for presentation and private meetings on behalf of Honenu from Nov 8 -28 in the Greater NY area. He will also be in LA from Nov 20 -22. Please contact him shalompo@yahoo.com for further details of it you can suggest a venue for a presentation.

 

Attached is a letter of recommendation from Rabbi Lieberman and Rabbi Ari Azencot of the Beth Shalom Syrian Congregation in Brooklyn. Additional important recommendations may be viewed on our site ( http://honenu.org/contact-us/references/)

 

Below is Rabbi Prozansky's letter.

 

To Whom it may concern:

 

We were fortunate to host Shalom Pollack on behalf of Honenu at Congregation Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck, New Jersey. The stories he tells are shocking but true, and the need to disseminate this information to the broader Jewish community is vital. Too many Jewish lives have been lost through timidity and the fear of bad press. Honenu is Israel's leader in providing legal protection and assistance to Jews who have defended themselves or their property against Arab marauders, and who have been prosecuted for their acts of self-defense.

 

I urge all to invite Honenu's representatives to hear these stories, and together we can secure Jewish lives and the Jewish future in the land of Israel.

 

With blessings for a peaceful year,

 

Rabbi Steven Pruzansky

Congregation Bnai Yeshurun, Teaneck, New Jersey

Thank you for all your help.

 

Shana tova,

 

Menachem Gottlieb and Shalom Pollack

Honenu

Please let me know if your shul or any  shul or organization  wishes to join and co-sponsor an event for Honenu in Brooklyn, NY in November. Feel free to pass along this email.  Also let me know by sending an email to faigerayzel@gmail.com if you are willing to promote or be involved in planning the event. We welcome all input and your participation.  (It's a great way for singles to meet and activists to network.) 

 Let me know if you or your Rav is willing to make a public joint statement of Rabbanim claiming legitimate Jewish entitlement of Judea and Samaria based on the Torah and  in favor of Jewish/Israeli Law in Judea and Samaria and opposed to a Palestinian State Chas Veshalom.  

Let us end the Silence, admit our grave mistakes like Oslo and the Disengagement from Gush Katif, condemn the brutality of Amona and Migron, regret our mistake of allowing expulsions to happen and now collectively doing what we can to stop and take further expulsions. Let us take it upon ourselves not to allow it to happen again.

 Before Yom Kippur 5772 let us do Teshuva and may Hashem bless us with a Gmar Chatima Tova..

As I see it, supporting Honenu is fulfilling the Mitzva of "Al Taamod Al Dam Reiacha" and a Pikuach Nefesh matter for hundreds of thousands of Jews in Judea and Samaria. Thanks. Watch the video on their website.  Robin

Fwd: NCJA: COLUMBIA U ANTI-ISRAEL EVENT TO FEATURE HATE RAPPER - October 14-16

bs"d

To the Press:

Please publicize the kind of programming that finds a welcoming haven in Columbia University.  I usually would refrain from sending  such vulgarity to my email list but in order to stop it, one must expose it first. Hopefully people will be outraged, especially those who support Columbia University financially and voice their opposition. 

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke  

Welcome at Columbia University, the lowest of the low. DISGUSTING in advance of of Israel Apartheid Week. 

To my list: please publicize that this hate rapper is welcome in what I once considered was a top University and the alma mata of a close family member and voice your complaints to

The National Conference on Jewish Affairs

NCJA ACTION ALERT: Columbia U Event to Feature Hate Rapper -- October 14-16 Event

BACKGROUND: 

On the weekend of October 14-16, 2011,  "Students for Justice in Palestine" (SJP), which unfortunately has chapters at dozens of major American universities, will be holding a three-day event at Columbia University to train students from across the nation in advance of the upcoming "Israel Apartheid Week."  

http://sjpnational.org/program-2/

http://sjpnational.org/endorsements/

Read more about SJP's campus activities: 

http://www.steveemerson.com/10152/lawsuit-details-depth-of-berkeley-jewish-student    

ACTIONS:

1. All Americans, and especially Columbia alumni constantly urged to support the university financially, should inquire why Columbia is allowing this SJP group to feature "Immortal Technique", a rapper who extols and incites violence and criminality, spews brutal anti-American vitriol, and is a condemner of Israel,  a distorter of 9/11 facts, a supporter of death row cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal, and a fan of the Nation of Islam, among other repellant views. Ask President Bollinger and the Board of Columbia to view these videos and decide if they are proud of having their university associated with the kind of promotion of violence, hate, and disgusting rhetoric we see here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhflst_fk2U

http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/i/Immortal-Technique/Bin-Laden-Lyrics.htm

2. Tell Bollinger and the Board that they are turning Columbia, a university once known for its rigor and academic excellence, into one that instead is gaining the reputation of sell-out to ugly hatred and flaccid standards.

3. Further, the SJP event, NCJA believes, violates Columbia University's own code of "Civil Behavior and Community Standards": 

http://www.gs.columbia.edu/academic-integrity-and-community-standards  

 "It is expected that in and out of the classroom, on and off campus, each student in the School of General Studies will act in an honest way and will respect the rights of others. Freedom of expression is an essential part of University life, but it does not include intimidation, threats of violence, or the inducement of others to engage in violence or in conduct which harasses others. Conduct which threatens or harasses others because of their race, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or for any other reason is unacceptable and will be dealt with very severely. For all to benefit from the diversity to be found at Columbia, all must live up to these standards."

NCJA believes that even publicizing that a featured guest such as "Immortal Technique" will appear at an event at Columbia University can be perceived as intimidating to Jewish and other students, and his presence could induce others to engage in violence or incite conduct that threatens or harms others.  

Of course, we will not be surprised if we hear from President Bollinger and the Board that this is just a "student group" and the university is "not involved" and that this is "the free expression of ideas," "intellectual freedom" or even "art".  But we can no longer accept these excuses for what appears to be pure hate and efforts to intimidate pro-Israel Jewish students and others who do not agree with SJP's views.  We need to know if Columbia University is providing any financial or other support to SJP and this event, including providing the building in which Immortal Technique is performing.
