New Israel Fund Annual Report - Building Progressive Change in Israel - New Initiatives for Democracy

bs"d

Dear Fellow Activists and Supporters of Israel.

TOROSSIAN: Americans Who Fund The Families of Terrorists Useful Idiots
http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/torossian-americans-who-fund-families-terrorists

NIF has given Grants to many NGO's that undermine Israel and empowers Israel's enemies. Here is an opportunity to see who donates to NIF and encourage them to direct their contributions to Organizations that truly support Israel rather than empowers her enemies. See Donor list starting Page 9 of 17. Partnerships and Programs can be seen on Page 8. NIF is proud of its progressive, liberal, human rights, peace initiatives to challenge right wing bias in media, stop the spread of right wing misinformation etc..

Actually, probably in this topsy turvy world of today, the human rights they protect are human rights of terrorists and/or their havens like hospitals, UN Schools, ambulances whom they cowardly use for cover, their peace initiatives protect a lying government bent on the destruction of Israel and her unarmed civilian population.. Challenging right wing bias means to stifle truth and withhold the full story if it in anyway is not consistent with its leftist bias, including the use of human shields, incitement of IDF and misrepresent what really happened with selected snippets to create a distorted narrative. NIF partnerships and projects serves to undermine Israel's rightful claim to the Land of Israel and Israel's right to protect its residents and her Biblical Homeland.

Taken from the NIF website:

Israel was established to be both a Jewish homeland and a democracy. Yet, over the past decade, Israel has endured an assault on liberal democratic values and a growing defiance of democratic norms, endangering freedom of speech and conscience as well as minority rights. Overt racism, ultra-nationalism, and xenophobia are on the rise.

The eruptions of violence and incitement following the murder of the three Israeli teenagers this summer and during the fighting in Gaza are only the latest examples of a surge of extremism threatening the fabric of Israeli society.

NIF seeks to promote a vision of Israel as a just, democratic and egalitarian society. To that end, NIF is now beginning a series of major investments as part of a bold effort to strengthen and expand the pro-democracy, progressive forces in Israel.

We're calling this new set of programs NIF's New Initiatives for Democracy (NIF-D).

NIF-D is designed to complement our existing work and create an ecosystem in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Please take a look at the new programs and projects we are funding, and know that even when some of our strategies change, our core programs, as well as our fundamental values, remain constant.

Your Support We're raising an extra $2 million in 2014 to support this work. Help return Israel to its liberal roots.

The StrategiesNIF-D brings together several strategies to boost progressive forces in Israel and to expand the camp of Israelis speaking out for democratic values. Learn more about these efforts.

The NIF EcosystemNIF's work promoting civil rights, religious freedom, and social justice will be supported by NIF-D. See how it fits together.

My comments about the NIF (Robin)

With friends like these who needs enemies?

Their New Initiatives for Democracy will vote in Hamas.

Do Not Stop Sharing This Until Every Person Who Cares About Women Sees This. Muslim Women speak for Abused Muslim women in the Muslim world.

I lived in the ultra Nationalist Right Community of Kiryat Arba. I can honestly attest that their women were respected by their men. It is part and parcel of their ultra nationalist right ideology and education. Basic human and women's rights are a given and lack of such rights are intolerable in their society.

Shall we replace a healthy Jewish Society with an unhealthy Muslim one so that we can bring in New Initiatives funded by NIF?

Islamists: "Destruction is a Matter of Time"

by Mitchell Bard

"If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. The Jews are infidels not because I say so but because Allah does... They aren't our enemies because they occupy Palestine; they would be our enemies even if they had not occupied anything." — Muhammad Hussein Ya'qub, Egyptian cleric.

Muslim extremists trust that time is in their side, in part because they are on the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons. Once Iran and other Muslim countries have this capability, they will have the military means to blackmail their oil-rich neighbors, destroy Israel and threaten Europe.

What makes negotiations with Iran, ISIS, Hamas or any other Islamist group impossible is that their leaders believe they are acting according to the immutable word of God. America, Israel, other Muslims with whom they disagree, cannot do anything to satisfy them except "submit" (the Arabic word "Islam" means "submission"). As Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya'qub said in a televised sermon in 2009, "If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. The Jews are infidels not because I say so but because Allah does... They aren't our enemies because they occupy Palestine; they would be our enemies even if they had not occupied anything."

Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other terror groups do not conceal their intentions. The Hamas covenant explicitly calls for Israel's destruction and does not distinguish between Israelis and Jews:

Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious... It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine... It is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders...

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: "The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him'".... There is no solution for the Palestine question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. Palestine is an Islamic land.

Regrettably, this is why "solving the conflict with the Palestinians," or even recognizing a Palestinian State, will not bring peace and tranquility to the Middle East.

The radical Islamic focus on Israel serves as an easy rallying point for the masses in the Middle East and Europe; however, the goal of jihad for many Muslims extends beyond eliminating or subjugating Israeli Jews. According to caliph 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, any land previously occupied by Muslims cannot be surrendered. No single Arab regime -- or number of regimes acting together -- has the right to break this trust and give up any of this land, whether in Israel or Spain (Al-Andalus). Reconquering the lands is considered a solemn religious duty, but the obligation does not stop there; as an ISIS recruiter told Der Spiegel, the Koran says that one should kill or expel unbelievers wherever one finds them.

Today Israel, tomorrow Spain, and then...? Left, Hamas' 25th anniversary logo shows all of Israel colored in Hamas' Islamic green. Right, a translated Islamic State map that includes all formerly Islamic-ruled lands that they plan to reconquer.

The Islamists are in no hurry to fulfill their goals. An Arab adage says, "A man who gains his revenge after 40 years is acting in haste." Ahmed Yousef, political adviser to then Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, said it all in the title of his book, "The End of the Jewish State: Just a Matter of Time."

Muslim extremists trust that time is on their side, in part because they are on the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons. Once Iran and other Muslim countries likely to follow its example have this capability, they will have the military means to blackmail their oil-rich neighbors, destroy Israel, and threaten Europe. Perhaps then the West will realize it is in a religious war.

Hitler's Furies:
German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields.

Wendy Lower, John K. Roth Chair of History and Director of the Human Rights Center at Claremont McKenna College, for a discussion of her new book, Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields

This startling book sheds light on the ignored reality of women's participation in the Holocaust. The long-held picture of German women holding down the home front during the war, as loyal wives and cheerleaders for the Führer, pales in comparison to Wendy Lower's incisive case for the massive complicity, and worse, of the 500,000 young German women she places, for the first time, directly in the killing fields of the expanding Reich. Hitler's Furies builds a fascinating and convincing picture of a morally "lost generation" of young women swept up in the nationalistic fervor of the Nazi movement-a twisted political awakening that turned to genocide. She uncovers stories of female brutality as chilling as any in history, challenging our deepest beliefs: genocide is women's business too, and the evidence can be hidden for seventy years.

MEMRI: Preacher At Al-Aqsa Mosque: May Allah Annihilate America And Its
Coalition And 'Enable Us To Cut Off Their Heads', We Want A Caliphate That
Will 'Liberate Jerusalem From The Jews, The Most Vile Of Creatures'

In an impromptu sermon at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestinian preacher Ali Abu
Ahmad called upon Allah to annihilate America and its coalition. "Oh Allah,
enable us to cut off their heads," he said, adding that there was need for a
Caliphate that "will liberate Jerusalem from the Jews, the most vile of
creatures." The sermon was delivered on November 21, 2014 and was posted on
the Internet.

Click here to view this clip on MEMRI TV
http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/4627.htm

Ali Abu Ahmad: "Who will come to the aid of Islam, if not us? Who will come
to the aid of Jerusalem, if not us? Who will come to the aid of the
Caliphate, if not us, oh servants of Allah? Do you want America to bring you
a caliphate tailored to its interests? Such a caliphate would sanction the
killing of Muslims, would shed their blood, and would violate the honor of
their women, in the name of Islam. Absolutely not, oh servants of Allah. We
want a caliphate in the path of the Prophet, which will protect lives, will
defend women's honor, and will liberate Jerusalem from the Jews, the most
vile of creatures."

[...]

"Oh servants of Allah, do not resort to the international community. Do not
resort to the international institutions or the Security Council, for they
are the ones who brought the Jews to the land of Palestine. They share the
blame for their barbaric crimes against the Muslims in Palestine. Seek
refuge in Allah the Almighty, the Avenger. Only Allah can break the backs of
America and the Jews, as he did to Pharaoh and Nimrod."

[...]

"Do not be deluded by the arrogance of the Jews, or by their crimes against
the Muslims of Palestine. This is merely a prelude to their elimination,
Allah willing, at the hands of the loyal mujahideen within Palestine and
abroad."

[...]

"Oh Allah, annihilate America and its coalition. Oh Allah, enable us to cut
off their heads. Oh Allah, help our brothers, the mujahideen in the land of
Iraq and Syria."

Har HaBayit Internal Debate -

bs"d

Internal Jewish Debate

fyi Interesting debate opposing and supporting ascent on Har Habayit. I will save my comments to a future post. Robin

Four people killed in terror attack at Jerusalem synagogue

Two terrorists infiltrate synagogue, yeshiva compound in Har Nof neighborhood, attack worshipers with large knives and gun; eight people wounded; terrorists killed.

Noam (Davul) Dvir, Agencies

Latest Update: 11.18.14, http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4593099,00.html

While the PFLP didn't explicitly claim responsibility for the atrocity at the synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood, it did laud the attack while describing the two assailants, cousins Ghassan and Odai Abu Jamal, as "PFLP comrades." A statement released in the name of Khalil Maqdesi, a member of the PFLP's Central Committee, was in essence a call to genocide. "Occupiers and racists do not belong to the land of Palestine; there are, and must be, consequences and repercussions for the theft of our land and our rights," Maqdesi said. If his meaning here is unclear, look at the bloodstained images from the Har Nof synagogue for clarification. Similarly, anyone tempted to believe that the PFLP is the secular organization that Maqdisi presents it to be, should ask why the terrorists screamed "Allahu Akhbar" as they embarked on their murder spree.

What was most striking about this statement, however, was Maqdesi's praise of Jewish anti-Zionists: "Thousands of Jews around the world are true and genuine voices for the struggle, leading boycott movements and joining the Palestinian struggle for liberation on a daily basis. We salute each and every one of them." I think he knew what he was doing here, and it's smart. Maqdesi understands that by heaping compliments on the tiny minority of Jews who collaborate with anti-Semites, many observers will conclude that the PFLP didn't kill Jews this week because they are Jews. And once that's established, the door is open to the moral equivalency and rationalization that has stained so much of the media coverage of the Har Nof attack. http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/11/24/overlooked-palestinian-terror-group-returns-with-a-vengeance/

Temple Mount exclusive broadcast rights to Fatah-Hamas. For Zion's sake, I will. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2007/12/temple-mount-exclusive-broadcast-rights.html

This past Thanksgiving, at the Agudah Convention in Stamford Connecticut, on Motzei Shabbos, the theme was an Undivided Jerusalem. Rav Perlow, the Noveminsker, the Rosh Agudath Yisroel spoke. He said that he actually took a plane recently to Eretz Yisroel for the sole purpose of speaking to Rav Eliashiv and Rav Shteinman regarding this matter. Rav Eliashiv said clearly that he is against giving away parts of Yerushalyim. Rav Shteinman also agreed. Rav Eliashiv told Rav Perlow that he can say so publicly in his name and with full strength (Bechol Hatokef). Rav Eliashiv said "Will we have to ask permission of the Yishmaelim to daven at the Kosel?" Rav Perlow asked the audience regarding the Gov't of Israel "Can we trust them with Security???" The Mayor of Jerusalem, the Honorable Uri Lupiansky then spoke. He told the audience that we in America have great influence. He asked us not to wait until it gets too late to speak up. He reminded us what happened when there was a riot at on Har Habayit. They started throwing stones at the Kotel square. He said it was a miracle that no one was killed. He said that the enemy is within. They are the forces that wish to divide us like a piece of Salami, piece by piece and hand us to our enemies.

Rabbi Dovid Yosef

Israeli chief rabbi tells Jews to stay away from Temple Mount

November 7, 2014. Yitzhak Yosef, Israel's chief Sephardic rabbi, made the call during the funeral Friday of Shalom Ba'adani, 17 who died that morning in hospital from wounds he sustained on Wednesday when a Palestinian terrorist hit him and 12 others with his car.This is the place to call on the esteemed public to stop this incitement, from here a call is heard, forbidding any Jews from going up to the Temple Mount. From here a call is heard to stop this so that the blood of the People of Israel may stop being spilled," Yosef said.

Members of the Jewish Home party criticized Yosef for calling to Jews to stay away from the Temple Mount and disputed his assertion that it led to bloodshed.

Naftali Bennett, the party's leader and Israel's economy minister, wrote on Facebook: "Honorable Chief Rabbi, Jewish blood was spilled because Arabs murdered them."

Orit Struck, a lawmaker for the party, called the rabbi's remarks "unfortunate," The Jerusalem Post reported. "I protest the blaming of Jews for the incitement and murder committed by Arab terrorists," she said.

Senior Haredi Sefardi Rabbi Approves Going Up to Temple Mount By: Yori Yanover March 9th, 2014 Rabbi Meir Mazuz (seen visiting a synagogue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn) declared in a public Internet psak that it is legal for a Jew to go up to temple Mount.

Rabbi Benny Lau Backs Jewish Prayer on Temple Mount

High-profile rabbi changes stance in light of recent developments; 'It can't be that Jews are humiliated to the lowest depths.'

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/187516#.VG5SlvnF8WI

Rabbi Lau - who is a cousin of the current Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi David Lau and a household name due to his weekly TV show and regularly media appearances - noted that the campaign for freedom of religion on the Mount could no longer be ignored, particularly since Muslim and Palestinian leaders were wielding the issue as part of their overall war against the Jewish state.

"The battle on the Temple Mount is no longer a battle of a few individuals," he continued. "It has already become a wider battle where both the Muslim leaders and the Palestinian leaders have set their eyes on the Temple Mount which is the focus of everything and impossible to put to the side for one moment."

He added that his decision had also been influenced by recent strongly-worded statements by hareidi rabbis against Jewish visits to the Temple Mount.

Among them, Rabbi David Yoseph - a prominent member of the Shas party's council of Torah sages and brother of Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yoseph - went so far as to pen a letter to the prime minister, asking him to prevent Jews from ascending the Temple Mount.

Rabbi Yoseph even branded the silent prayers of those who did manage to visit the site as "abominations."

Dismissing the long list of prominent rabbis who support and encourage Temple Mount prayer, particularly (though not exclusively) from the religious-Zionist camp, Rabbi Yoseph urged Netanyahu "not to be fooled by an extreme and eccentric minority" who he claimed were "using Jewish law" to justify a "Messianic" agenda and advocating Jewish prayer rights on the Mount.
