Tough Choices of Major Roy Levy of Golani Brigade. Moral Dilemma of a Commander. Let's make an Opera or movie about this. The Challenge of Giulio Meotti!

bs"d


Let us call upon all those that support the arts to support Art that Stands for Israel and Truth!  

For example, Let us make a Movie or Opera about this:

The Truth about the IDF (Israeli Defence Force)

Op-Ed: Don't Just Blame "Klinghoffer", Blame Yourselves Protesting, while important, is not the answer. The Jewish intellectual community can do better. by Giulio Meotti  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/15817#.VGBFn_nF8WI

Giulio Meotti writes:

Why isn't there a single Jewish artist who created a counter "Klinghoffer" opera? Where are all the Jewish writers?

Why have Israeli artists left the massacres of the Second Intifada unheard, unseen?

Is it possible that all that US Jewry has to offer to the public is the sexual pathology of Philip Roth, the psycho-convulsions of Woody Allen or the homosexual melancholy of Tony Kushner?

Why don't Jewish artists such as David Mamet produce art which stands for Israel and truth?

Instead of trying to ban operas, which, to some, makes it seem that Jews are moving closer to the Muslim fanatics who in Europe are destroying freedom of expression by banning operas such as "Aisha", Jews should compete with anti-Semites on their own ground. That of journalism and culture. Israel and world Jewry are losing that battle because of their own lack of self-confidence.

Leon Klinghoffer, who was killed in my beautiful Italian sea, with the complicity of my cowardly political authorities, deserved more than prayers and protests in New York. He deserved an opera immortalizing his Jewish martyrdom for the generations to come. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Giulio Meotti, 

It is not merely lack of self-confidence.  

Why is it that funding in the arts for leftist liberal agenda is readily available yet funding for Israel and Truth hard to come by?  Ask Yuval Granot, Shmuel Katz's son, who is about to produce a movie about his dad which is sure to brighten the flame of Zionism worldwide.

In the Event http://www.un.org/webcast/pdfs/140908pm-antisemitism.pdf  "Global Anti-Semitism: A Threat to International Peace and Security," Palau Hosts U.N. Session on Combating Anti-Semitism

The final speaker before a short Q and  A PART TWO VIDEO  was Dr. Michael Llorenz, Professor Touro College Graduate School of Business, "Entrepreneurship: A Tool to Social Integration"  (20:56 – 35:33) This, too, was a powerful  speech.  http://thesilentmajority.wordpress.com/tag/dr-michael-llorenz/?blogsub=confirming#blog_subscription-2 

Michael Llorenz, director of the Entrepreneurship Center at the Touro College Graduate School of Business, described a positive strategy that can be implemented against anti-Semitism and the delegitimization of Israel. He called on supporting budding entrepreneurs with incentives and encouraging them to take on projects that collaborate with Israeli innovators and other aspects of Israeli society. This way, it will become more difficult to treat Israel as a vilified "other."

Entrepreneurship is also not limited to science and technology. Social entrepreneurship can be the modern version of tikkun olam (repairing the world)—for instance, by launching a social media campaign against anti-Semitism.

"Entrepreneurship is highly effective diplomacy," he said.

Pls forward re: Yehudah Glick from Yitz Glick (Yehuda'h brother) important

bs"d


Dear Friends and Supporters of Yehudah Glick. 

PLEASE SHARE ON AS MANY COMMUNITY LISTS AS POSSIBLE!!! 
We wanted to thank all those that sent messages of support for Yehudah. We apologize for not being able to respond to all of them. We have received hundreds of messages a day and many more calls, and many warm comments in the grocery store etc... 
We thank Hashem every moment for the tremendous miracle that saved Yehudah's life, we also thank Mada and Shaarei Tzedek for being outstanding partners. Yehudah is improving slowly but still has a long road ahead. He is still in the ICU (as of Thursday Nov 6th). We are delighted that he is improving daily 

SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED HOW TO HELP 
Here are some ways to help Yehudah and his cause 

1- Tehillim - (sorry for the confusion regarding my mother's name) correct name Yehudah Yehoshua Ben Ita Breina 
2- Go up to the Har Habayit (H"H) - Try hard to focus on Tefillah and connecting with Hashem and try very hard to totally ignore those disgusting people that yell, curse the Non Muslim visitors and desecrate the Holiest Place in the world. 
While Yehuda has been slowly but steadily improving, Har Habayit is still in critical condition. There is a certain level of increase in the Jewish presence on Har Habayit but it is a far cry from what it should be in "normal" times, and how much more so given the events of the last week. 
Many of you have called and written to express your support to the family and we appreciate it all, however I ask you to do more. This is the time to go to Har Habayit. For those of you who have never been, it is time to consult with local rabbis and get instructions of how to do so according to halacha, it is not complicated. For those of you who have already been, you know the rules and it is time to return. 

3- Write letters to anyone of influence regarding; A- the responsibility of the police to arrest those violent elements and to keep them off the H"H for significant periods of time, and B- the basic rights of Jews to pray on H"H 

4-While writing letters feel free to note for those unaware that: 
Yehuda was and is a man of peace and tolerance, He never demanded to kick the peaceful Muslims off the Temple Mount, He never supported or encouraged harming or destroying the Mosques in any way, He opposed any kind of violence, and felt that the Temple Mount should be a place of worship and that the violence perpetrated against Jews is a gross desecration of the Holy site! He firmly believes that it is beyond obvious that Jews have the moral and legal right to pray on the Holiest site for Judaism and that the police, as difficult as it may be, have the responsibility to defend that right. 

5- Financial support: 
Haliba is Yehuda's Amuta and I'm sure financial assistance could help his legal as well as his education undertakings. See belowsome website links regarding the fabulous work Yehuda does. Gifts can be given via the Temple Institute on line but they must be earmarked for Yehuda Glick or for Haliba. Until Yehuda is healthy and able to follow his Amuta's finances I would suggest sending a note to my email that a donation was given to the Temple Mount Institute on a given date in order to keep proper records my email is: erdoc121@yahoo.com mailto:erdoc121@yahoo.com 

Sincerely 

Yitz Glick (Yehuda' s Brother on behalf of Yehuda)

(thank you Faige Lobel for sending)

Re: URGENT - DESPERATE CALL TO HELP YEZIDIS PLUS - "NEVER AGAIN"

bs"d

Rabbosai:  What is being done????

Iraq's Yazidis Appeal For Help In Finding Their Missing Women

Yazidis Face Genocide by ISIS After U.S. Turns Away
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/11/03/yazidis-face-genocide-by-isis-after-u-s-turns-away.html

Malcolm Hoenlein reported the horrific situation of the Yazidi's on the Nachum Segal show. It made me sick. 

I had heard horrific stories coming out in August after Yazidi Member of Iraqi Parliament Vian Dakhil "Fiyan Dakheel" (of the Kurdistan Alliance) collapses in tears after calling upon Humanity to rescue the Yazidis from Genocide. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/08/israel-must-help-yazidis.html  It's now October, 2 months later and similar stories of genocide of the men and taking Yazidi as Sex Slaves continue.  

The Yazidi's seem like decent folks who care about each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8EdkH4blIA  They have remained insulated within their community.  They don't seem to engage in the horrible inhumane activities of Isis, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas etc. The fact that they want to commit mass suicide after rape sounded like how religious Jews might respond to this kind of horrific abuse and trauma.   The taking of their women as sex slaves is unbearably torturous to this community who prides themselves on morality and sanctity of marriage.

Their persecution is reminiscent of persecution of Jews. They beg America for airstrikes to bomb the roads to stop ISIS.  Almost like a cry to bomb the rails in Nazi Europe to stop the cattle cars.  Israel must intervene. Can any of the MK's take note and action.  Maybe we will discover that they are members of the 10 lost tribes?  Even if we don't, they definitely seem like a civilized group unlike their enemies who behave subhuman .http://menorahblog.typepad.com/menorah/2014/08/must-see-video-female-iraqi-lawmaker-collapses-in-parliament-begs-for-help-from-isis-genocide-of-yazidi-minority.html  Thank you Renanah for sounding the alarm!!!!

Dear Sister Rananah,

Yes, of course you have my permission, so you can share my email and phone with anyone that is interested in the religious minorities (the Yezidi, Jewish, Christian, Mandaean, Zoroastrian, Bahae's, Durzi, ect.) in the Middle East.
,,,,,, 
 This morning I received two phone calls from Yezidis there in the Mount Sinjar, they said if they do get humanitarian aid fast, they could face extreme "Starvations" very soon!


Sincerely yours,

Mirza Ismail

Dear sister Rananah,

Hope you and your family are well.

This Yezidis situations in Iraq, Turkey and Syria are terrible; there is not enough food, clean drinking water, clothing, medical care, etc. And the Yezidis situation in Iraq is extremely bad, 20% of International humanitarian aid does not reach the displaced Yezidis in Northern Iraq (KRG region); and in the Mount Sinjar there is no humanitarian aid for the last couple of months because the KRG has stationed few hundreds of its "Terrorist peshmergas (children of Saladin Al-ayoubi) on the top of Mount Sinjar" and whatever the international aid received in Sinjar mountain the aid would be received by terrorist peshmergas and they use and abuse this aid for its political agendas there.  The KRG has already forgotten about what they have done (betrayed the Yezidis in Sinjar) and its plan did not succeed to "Totally Wipe-out all the Yezidis" there in Sinjar region, therefore, the KRG abuse the international aid and the innocent Yezidis don't receive any humanitarian aid in Mount Sinjar.  I myself have many friends and colleagues who are fighting Islamic State Terrorists there, these brave Yezidi fighters are asking for weapon support and humanitarian aid.  .......

Fwd: Current events at Oz veGaon

bs"d

Current Events at Oz veGa'on

This Friday, Nov. 7, 2014 at 9:00 AM, journalist Hagai Huberman will speak
at Oz veGaon on the subject of Current Events and Hityashvut
(Settlement).

Huberman began as a writer for the newspaper Hatsofe . When Hatsofe
joined with its weekly parallel, Makor Rishon, Huberman was appointed
to be the military writer for the newspaper.

Huberman served for many years as a writer on matters concerning Yesha
(Hebrew acronym for Judea, Samaria and Gaza) in the newspaper Hatsofe.
Since 2009 he has been serving as editor for the religious weekly
"Matsav Haruach" and also serves as a political and military writer
for the ultra-Orthodox weekly "Bakehila" (In the community) and in
"Basheva".

In 2010 Huberman won the Aminach prize for his research on the history
of religious Zionist settlement, for his book "Shorashim Bakholot"
(Roots in the Sands) and "Kaneged kol Hasikuim" (Against All Odds).

Huberman is married and the father of five children. He lives today in Elkana.

In 2008 Huberman wrote an article in "Hatsofe" in which he warned that
the Shdema military camp, between Har Homa in Jerusalem and Tekoa in
Gush Etzion was in danger of being transferred to the Palestinian
Authority. This article prompted Women in Green to act, to become
organized and to prevent the fall of Shdema into enemy hands. Thank
G-d, after years of intensive activity, Shdema has returned to Jewish
hands. The IDF is present 24/7. Cultural events are held there as well
as family celebrations.

Please be there tonight to hand out mock playbills at the Met! Fwd: The Opera That Cannot be Ignored. Terrorists are Freedom fighters Rachel's Tomb Hijacked and Mother Rochel was a Palestinan, Ishmael was brought as a Sacrificial lamb on Temple Mount.....

bs"d

Dear Fellow Activists, Friends of Israel and the Jewish People, amv"sh


Klinghoffer Mock Playbill and ZOA Insert Why Death of Klinghoffer" is a Moral Atrocity
http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/10/klinghoffer-mock-playbill-and-insert.html

If you can, please be there tonight, 5:30-7:30 as well as any other performance night of "The Death of Klinghoffer" at Lincoln Center West 64th Street and Broadway to hand out mock playbills based on accurate historical facts unlike the Opera itself.  If you can't, please forward the link and the PDF attachments and educate those who are ignorant as per the uncomfortable truth of the real not fictitious cast of characters of this Opera.  Thank you!  Yasher Koach!  

Rabbanim:  This much more than just about an Opera.  The Palestinians have stolen our Jewish Heritage with a false narrative.  For example Mother Rachel buried in Bethleham in  Rachel's Tomb is apparently Palestinian. Please read David Bedein's Rachel's Tomb Hijacked - Israel Behind The News  http://israelbehindthenews.com/rachels-tomb-hijacked/12006/ .  The Palestinians claim that the Akeida, the sacrifice of Isaac on Temple Mount was Ishmael not Isaac.  In the UN, Jewish Heritage sites are Muslim sites.  Klinghoffer Opera is a mere tip of the iceberg.  False Islamic narratives have taken over elementary school textbooks and college campuses with the lie of "Israel's occupation".   Journalist Hillel Fendel noted that the State Dept spokesman keeps referring to Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount, over and over - and never calls it Har HaBayit! 

This lie is then repeated as fact  by President Obama,  former President Jimmy Carter, the UN, the State Dept., the IRS and trickled down by our fellow liberal left wing Jews like Nathan Guttman of the Jewish Forwards http://forward.com/articles/208239/should-us-block-charity-aid-to-israeli-settlers/.  Guttman takes it as a fact that the settlers of Judea and Samaria are "lllegal Occupiers".  He simply ignores the Bible, the Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he ignores history and how nations are born after wars are fought and he ignores international law. 

Would Guttman be passive if someone decided that his house didn't belong to him and that his deed is irrelevant?  How would he respond if the Palestinians claimed  his home as theirs and accused him of occupying it illegally. Will he take kindly to their offer to  allow him to turn his kitchen into a museum during negotiations!  However, since he is occupying their home illegally, then surely he has the nerve to suggest that the kitchen be used as a soup kitchen with American taxpayer dollar funding. 

Read Edwin Black's book "Financing the Flames".  Surely, American Tax payer dollars are needed to support the salaries of the Palestinian terrorists http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/06/fwd-irs-targeting-pro-israel-groups.html, and to whomever the terrorist designate, like the x wife of Samir Kuntar, the terrorist for whom this hijacking of the Achille Lauro was staged. Please visit Samir Kuntar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samir_Kuntar. Read about his treatment in prison.  

Treatment in prison[edit]
During his imprisonment, Kuntar married Kifah Kayyal (born in 1963), an Israeli Arab woman who is an activist on behalf of militant prisoners. They later divorced. While they were married, she received a monthly stipend from the Israeli government, an entitlement due to her status as a wife of a prisoner.[19] Kayyal is an Israeli citizen of Palestinian origin from Acre, now residing in Ramallah, who was then serving a life sentence for her activities in the Palestine Liberation Front.[24] They had no children. In addition, while in prison Kuntar participated in a program under which Palestinian security prisoners took online courses from the Open University of Israel, and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social and Political Science.[25]

Here are the facts! (see mock playbill, the one the Met doesn't want you to know about)

Samir Kuntar (born in Lebanon), the release of whom was the main goal of the Achille Lauro hijacking, was imprisoned in Israel for one of the most brutal terror attacks recorded in Israeli history. The date of the terror attack, April 22, 1979, followed the ratification of the Camp David Peace Accords by the Israeli Knesset. Kuntar led PLF terrorists, Abdel Majeed Aslan, Muhanna Salim Al-Muayyad, and Ahmad Al-Abras from Southern Lebanon into Northern Israel by sea.

The goal of the operation was to kill civilians in the city of Nahariya. They first killed a policeman, Eliyahu Shahar. The terrorists then entered a residential building and invaded the apartment of the Haran family. They took 31- year -old Danny Haran hostage and slaughtered him along with his four- year-old daughter, Einat. Kuntar smashed the little girl's head on a rock with his rifle.

Danny's wife, Smadar Haran, managed to hide in a crawl space above the bedroom with her two- year- old daughter, Yael, and a neighbor. Tragically, Yael was suffocated as her mother sought to prevent her from making noise as they hid from Kuntar. Several years later, Abu Abbas masterminded the hijacking of the Achille Lauro, demanding that Israel release Kuntar along with 49 other terrorists.

On July 16, 2008, Hezbollah exchanged the remains of two kidnapped Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, for Kuntar and four other prisoners. Kuntar is hailed as a hero by Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and is now organizing a Hezbollah terror cell on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

Dear Friends of Israel and the Jewish People,
     Thousands of opera-goers have tickets to upcoming performances of "The Death of Klinghoffer," the last performances of which are occurring on November 5, 8, 11, and 15.  The opera will be educating these patrons with distorted information and perceptions about Israeli history, the terrorists involved in the murder of Leon Klinghoffer (z"l), and the reason for the hijacking.   

     Our primary goal now is to offset the effect of the propaganda promoted in the opera by the  distribution of mock "playbills."  This effort began as of the first performance on Oct. 20th.    This is our chance to connect with the Met patrons who chose to attend this opera and possibly nullify the propaganda to which they have been exposed.    We've attached the four page "playbill" and the double-sided insert.   

     Almost 2,000 mock "playbills" have been distributed since the first "Klinghoffer" performance on October 20th.   You should know that among those who are attending the opera are music students, musicologists, professors, people who have flown in from other states because the simulcast was cancelled, people who are simply "curious" because of the controversy surrounding the opera, and those who are heeding Peter Gelb's advice to "see it and decide for yourself."   They are eager to find out what the "upset" is all about.  Most who are offered the "playbill" are eager to read its contents.   Many are not aware of the misinformation, omitted information, and subtle messages that are intrinsic to this opera.      
     In case you've missed them, below are the links to excellent articles by Alan Dershowitz, Floyd Abrams, Kieran Lalor and a Daily News Editorial:
If you can help distribute "playbills" at these times, please contact us:

Wednesday, Nov. 5       6:30 - 7:30 p.m.  and  10:00 - 11:00 p.m. approx.

Saturday, Nov. 8             7:00 - 8:00 p.m. and  10:30 - 11:30 p.m. approx.

Tuesday, Nov. 11            6:30 - 7:30 p.m. and   10:00 - 11:00 p.m. approx.

Saturday, Nov. 15 (for those within walking distance......very difficult but not impossible).....the matinee starts at 1:00 p.m. so opera attendees will start arriving between 12 and 12:15 and leaving at approximately 3:45 to 4:30.
Most sincerely,
Lynne and Nessim
