San Remo: The Forgotten Milestone
By Salomon Benzimra, April 26th 2015
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/16835#.VuoK-ptf1Hg
Ninety five years ago, prime ministers, ambassadors and other
dignitaries from Europe and America gathered in the Italian Riviera.
Journalists from around the world reported on the upcoming San Remo
Peace Conference and the great expectations the international
community placed on this event, just a year after the Paris Peace
Conference had settled the political map of Europe at the end of World
War One.
On Sunday, April 25, 1920, after hectic deliberation, the Supreme
Council of the Allied Powers (Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and
the U.S. acting as an observer) adopted the San Remo Resolution -- a
500 word document which defined the future political landscape of the
Middle East out of the defunct Ottoman Empire.
This Resolution led to the granting of three Mandates, as defined in
Article 22 of the 1919 Covenant of the League of Nations. The future
states of Syria-Lebanon and Iraq emerged from two of these Mandates
and became exclusively Arab countries. But in the third Mandate, the
Supreme Council recognized the "historical connection of the Jewish
people to Palestine and the grounds for reconstituting their national
home in that country" while safeguarding the "civil and religious
rights" of the non-Jewish population.
Subsequently, the British limited the Jewish Homeland in Palestine to
the area west of the Jordan River and allowed eastern Palestine to be
gradually administered by the Hashemites. The territorial expansion
to the east eventually gave birth to the Kingdom of Transjordan, later
renamed Jordan in 1950.
The importance of the San Remo Conference with regard to Palestine
cannot be overstated:
For the first time in history, Palestine became a legal and political entity;
The Jewish people were recognized as the national beneficiary of the
trust granted to Britain in Palestine for the duration of the Mandate
-- a "sacred trust of civilization" as per the League Covenant;
The Balfour Declaration of 1917 -- which "viewed with favour" the
establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine -- was now to be
"put into effect"and thus became a binding act of international law;
The de jure sovereignty of Palestine was vested in the Jewish people,
though it was kept in abeyance until the Mandate expired in 1948;
The terms of the San Remo Resolution were included in the Treaty of
Sèvres and remained unchanged in the finally ratified Treaty of
Lausanne of 1923.
The Arabs received equivalent national rights in all the remaining
parts of the Middle East -- over 96% of the total area formerly
governed by the Ottoman Turks).
The San Remo Conference was hailed as a major historical milestone.
Celebrations were held throughout the world with tens of thousands of
people marching in London, New York and Toronto. But the Arabs of
Palestine, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, were strongly opposed to any
form of national Jewish homeland: the first anti-Jewish riots erupted
in Jaffa just before the San Remo Conference convened -- a harbinger
of the violent Arab rejectionist stance that continues to threaten the
existence of Israel to this day.
While the Middle East peace process has been going on for over two
decades, it is astonishing that San Remo and the ensuing Mandate for
Palestine have hardly been mentioned. Is it deliberate? Is it a mere
omission? How could there be peace and reconciliation without
acknowledging fundamental historical and legal facts?
Middle-East diplomacy has often relied on "constructive ambiguity", a
concept earlier introduced by Henry Kissinger to keep the dialogue
open and avoid discussing core issues deemed problematic. In the
ongoing peace process, the ambiguity of language did not produce
constructive results. On the contrary, layer upon layer of
distortions and gross falsehoods piled up over the initial ambiguity
of "land for peace."
When the notion of "occupation" took root, it soon turned into
"illegal occupation", then "brutal oppression" and, finally,
"apartheid" which is a crime against humanity in international law.
Once corrupted language describes a distorted reality and the
distortion spreads, thought becomes corrupt and any resulting action
is bound to fail.
Commemorating the San Remo Conference should be more than a mere
remembrance. It enjoins us to consider the legal reach of the binding
decisions made in 1920 and to ensure that we do not entertain
incompatible positions when political expediency clashes with
unassailable rights enshrined in international law, namely the
acquired rights of the Jewish people in their ancestral land. No
wonder the Palestinian Authority -- intent on eliminating the "Zionist
entity," as spelled out in the PLO Charter -- abhors the provisions of
the San Remo Resolution, which they view as the root of a catastrophe
engineered by "Zionist gangs."
In reality, the San Remo Resolution and the ensuing clauses of the
Mandate for Palestine are akin to a treaty entered into and executed
by each and every one of the 52 member states of the League of
Nations, in addition to the United States which is bound by a separate
treaty with Great Britain, ratified in 1925.
So next time you hear about the "occupation of the West Bank" and its
supposedly "illegal settlements" -- an almost daily occurrence in the
discourse of the Palestinian Arabs and their supporters -- you should
remember that this territory, as the rest of Israel, was lawfully
restored to the Jewish people in 1920 and its legal title has been
internationally guaranteed and never revoked ever since. Any
negotiation toward achieving a lasting peace should be based on this
premise.
Last but not least, San Remo marks the end of the longest colonization
period in history. After 1,850 years of foreign occupation, oppression
and banishment by a succession of foreign powers (Romans, Byzantines,
Sassanid Persians, Arabs, Crusaders, Mameluks and Ottoman Turks), the
Nation of Israel was reborn in April 1920, thus paving the way for the
proclamation of the State of Israel 28 years later. This liberation
from foreign rule should normally be celebrated by all the progressive
elites who have traditionally supported every national freedom
movement. But it isn't so, for reasons that defy reason.
We stood outside of the Park Slope Food Coop in the chilling penetrating rain handing out fliers. I've done this before but was surprised at the number of people going in and out of the Coop and even just passing by who refused to even take the flier.
The Park Slope Coop does $1 million of business per week. $50 million a year. Many Brooklynites, representing all Nationalities, including Jews of all persuasions, including a substantial number from neighboring Lubavitch Community of Crown Heights, do their shopping while helpful Coop Members with their welcoming Coop Vests serve the shoppers in every way possible. They offer affordable, healthy produce. The Coop is a pleasant place to shop and meet friends and neighbors.
But that is no longer the case for 4 long standing members who have been suspended for protesting the General Committees BDS Agenda items.
For the past 8 years BDS has infiltrated the Coop trying to force an antiSemitic BDS Agenda the agenda of the Coop.
It appears like many Park Slope Coop members had been "educated", (indoctrinated is a better word), as per the righteousness of the Palestinian cause. Even many Jewish Park Slope Coop Members support BDS as they have been educated to believe that the Palestinians are victims of the awful Israeli Occupation, having to wait long hours at checkpoints and that many Palestinians are victims of Terror by Israel who is "Occupying the West Bank Palestinian Territory".
I did my best to explain to those who had a very biased and anti Israel education, quite likely coming from the Park Slope Food Coop Gazette and Reading Groups, that the Checkpoints were to prevent terror attacks which was commonplace on roads in Judea and Samaria accessed by both Settlers and Palestinians. A sizable number of Palestinians in a recent survey defend road terror on the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria and on Israel's civilian population in general . They throw rocks, ram their vehicles into civilians waiting at populated bus stops and go on stabbing sprees which are encouraged by Imams at the mosque. The Palestinian population, glorify the terrorists, naming schools and institutions after them and educate their children to die as martyrs against the "Israeli Occupation". Children practice and play stabbing Jews and Infidels, carrying suicide belts and playing with rock throwing dolls. It is for this reason that roadblocks for the Palestinians are necessary and justified. Once Palestinians put a stop with the constant terror education and attacks on Israeli civilians, then surely there would no longer be a need for checkpoints.
I also attempted to explain that what they consider to be the murder of innocent Palestinian lives was actually Israeli's, both armed civilians and military, killing Palestinian terrorists who were engaged in acts of terror against innocent Israeli civilians defending their very lives. There are weekly terror attempts counting in the hundreds.
The Park Slope Food Coop has done an amazing job at brainwashing a sizable percentage of their membership.
But even more upsetting was that those that understood that BDS is a terror front did not want to address the theological foundation of the entire BDS narrative.
If the Palestinians are accusing Israel of Occupying Palestinian Territories that is precisely the point we must address. This is what justifies their armed struggle. It justifies their terror attacks. They see a moral equivalency between Palestinian attacking Jews Occupying their land and Jews whom they claim are terrorists because they are defending themselves.
This brings us to a more fundamental question. Is our fight against BDS merely a political fight or is it a religious fight as well? For the Arabs it is clearly a religious battle and they call it Jihad.
We can only beat them by disabling their religious justifications that they use to defend their weapons. Unless we can assert our Biblical Claim to the Land of Israel, all other claims that are based on legal and security arguments alone are dismissed by our enemies.
Many Jews are afraid to speak about G-d and the Torah.
Jews feel threatened for good reason.
Har HaBayit: Giving a Tour - Mistaken as a Gentile and then recognized as a Jew. by Shalom Pollack
Mentioning our connection to Temple Mount, Har HaBayit is like opening up a Pandora's box. UNESCO recently has gone out of it's way disconnecting Israel from its Biblical roots. http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2016/05/fwd-unesco-lies-about-mount-of-olives.html UNESCO as well has gone out of their way to disconnect any Jewish Connection from the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Rachel's Tomb and Joseph's Tomb,
Bringing up these basic Biblical historical facts generates great fear as they are met with accusations of offending and provoking Muslim sensitivities.
in addition, when we bring up that the Torah is the foundation of universal morality, Jews steer clear of this discussion as well experiencing great discomfort especially if they are atheists. This reaction was quite evident today in Park Slope.
Our enemies understand better than ourselves the Biblical root foundation of our rights to the Land and this causes them to bully, intimidate and tantrum whenever we come close to the source by mentioning the Bible.
Confronting lies with truth surely has its downsides but how else can we defend their accusations that Israel has stolen Palestinian Land which then justifies terror masquerading as an "armed struggle against the Occupation of Palestine".
Better that we are met with hostile indignation than endless terror attacks.
Let us speak about the Torah and the the Biblical Path to Peace, the 7 Noahide Laws.
Let us speak of the Biblical Boundaries Promised by G-d to the Nation of Israel as delineated in the Bible. This delineation includes all of Judea and Samaria. Temple Mount is the focal point.
Furthermore, the Balfour Declaration, the Mandate of Palestine of the League of Nations and the San Remo Resolution of April 25, 1920 and the League of Nations awards the Nation of Israel, a historical and legal right to the Land of Israel inclusive of Judea and Samaria which is consistent with our Biblical claim as well.
Wars fought and won in 1948 and 1967 further supports our claim to the Land inclusive of Temple Mount, Judea and Samaria based on rules of International Warfare. Otherwise, America would need to give back the 50 States to the Native Indians.
We are now approaching the 50th Year anniversary of the 6 Day War in 1967. It is a time to celebrate a glorious victory that was accomplished only because of Divine Intervention and Open Miracles. Let us declare, Dror Freedom from foreign occupation whether it comes from unwanted Palestinian Statehood or from the United Nations being egged on by the Obama Administration!
Vehaya Hashem Lamelech Al Kol Haaretz Bayom Hahoo Yiheh Hashem Echad Ushmo Echad: And it will be that G-d will be the King over the entire earth on that day He will be One and His Name will be One.

Har HaBayit: Giving a Tour - Mistaken as a Gentile and then recognized as a Jew. by Shalom Pollack
bs"d
--- ENTER YOUR CONTENT HERE -I am often asked, what is my favorite place in Jerusalem?
Well, as a tour guide , I love sharing so many special places with my guests, but it is the most "controversial" spot that rivets my imagination , my soul and yearning..
Well, as a tour guide , I love sharing so many special places with my guests, but it is the most "controversial" spot that rivets my imagination , my soul and yearning..
If Jerusalem is our eternal capital and God's chosen home on earth, then the Temple Mount is the inner sanctum - literally
Yes, I know that today, the Israeli government, in it's weakness, is colluding with and appeasing our enemies to make a Jewish visit as unpleasant as possible.
It is just this absurd, shameful reality that underlines just how special this spot must be.
If we Jews don't get it than our enemies certainly do...
I had the honor of guiding a young gentleman who I would describe as a believing Christian and a great supporter of Israel.
He asked me to accompany him up to the Temple Mount among some other Jerusalem sites.
I told him, I would be honored to do so but warned him that if he were associated with an identifiable Jew it may be a surprising experience. He was willing to take the chance.
I first immersed myself in the mikva( ritual bath) and made sure to wear non leather shoes as prescribed by halacha ( Torah Law).
We proceeded to the long line waiting at the entrance to the mount. There was a large group of yeshiva students who were, as usual, being harassed and delayed for hours as the tourists flitted past them to the Mount.
They were suspect; They had to be severly warned not to even think about prayer. on the holiest site. To see this process of intimidation is painful.
I decided therefore to wear a cap and hide my kippa. This subterfuge worked and we three tourists were smoothly admitted.
As we entered the mount I saw the usual scene; tourists, prowling, arrogant 'Wakf" Muslim officials - the ones who keep an eagle eye out for the stray Jew who may have slipped through the kapo selection.
We looked harmless enough to the many peering eyes. I noticed the large groups of Muslim women whose job is to accost any Jews who are "caught" looking Jewish. It was eery to be sure but it was not my first time there.
I was able to show my guests where millions of Jews for centuries, packed the seventeen foot ball field size platform on the holidays. I showed him where the Levites sang their praises to God and where the priests brought the sacrifices and incense and bread offerings.
I recounted the kings and prophets who stood where we were standing. I tried to reconstruct the glory of the place where all the Nations met to brought their offerings to the one true God and represented His eat on earth.
He got it. I caught the tears welling up in his eyes.
I turned to him and said,". Are you willing to be associated with an identifiable Jew on this place?
Are you ready for some action"? I took off my hat and disclosed my kippa. I let my fringes fly. I was no longer a Jew in hiding.
With in seconds they came to life. The women in black in their head to toe shock troop gear and the "Wakf", prowlers emerged from every corner and surrounded us. A crescendo of "Allah hu Akbar" filled the air and walkie talkies began crackling;
"Yahud! Yahud!"(Jew! Jew!)
My guest was visibly shocked and frightened.. He grabbed my arm.
"You must leave the mountain. Your time is up" they shouted.
I said,"what time?" I pointed to other tourist leisurely walking near us.
One finally pointed his finger accusingly, "You are a Jew!."
I admitted to the crime., "Yes".
He was sure that this admission of guilt was enough to make us flee the m
ount.
I moved far too slowly for him and a large number of police (ninety percent of the police in the old City are Arabs)of ever higher ranks were called to the "scene of the crime."
They physically nudged me on in the direction of the gate. I asked "what law did I break?" "Why are other tourists allowed... "?
I moved far too slowly for him and a large number of police (ninety percent of the police in the old City are Arabs)of ever higher ranks were called to the "scene of the crime."
They physically nudged me on in the direction of the gate. I asked "what law did I break?" "Why are other tourists allowed... "?
One officer explained, "had you identified as a Jew from the beginning (and not get the better of their selection) they would have accompanied me "for my own safety" I said, "OK you may accompany me now for my safety. There are lots of you here".
They were not amused.
Ever increasing threatening signals were sent my way.
At one point, an older Arab man with a huge walking stick yelled at me "You are stupid"! I returned the compliment and he had murder in his eyes as he raised his weapon. A police officer addressed him with great deference and plead with him not to do what he obviously wanted to do to me.
Boy, if they could, they would!
We were expelled from our holiest ground by threatening Muslims and their Jewish police servants.
We saw a group of yeshiva boys dancing and singing outside the gate after being allowed up for a five minute visit ( after waiting three hours). They were heavily accompanied by the police to make sure they do not provoke the Muslims by moving their lips in prayer. One student was surrounded by high ranking officers as he attempted to drink from the public fountain. They suspected that he might make a blessing before drinking and thus cause a riot...
I joined these amazing young people in their dance and song as Muslim curses rang in our ears..
Turns out, one of the young men was badly hurt by an Arab on the mount. We saw him being accompanied to an ambulance with his arm in a sling.
I asked him what happened?. He said an Arab began pushing him and he responded by pouring water on him. At that point the Arab threw him down and pummeled him while the police just looked on.
I have heard of these things happening but to interview the boy in the sling and hear his story ....what can I say?.
My guest certainly did not bargain for this education but he was very grateful and commented, "no one knows what is happening up there! Its unbelievable!
He also told me that he always wondered if he would ever in his life be in a position where he stood unflinchingly with good against evil
He thanked me for fulfilling that quest on that day.
All other amazing places in our beloved city are in another league

This Sunday May 1st Noon: PSFC (Park Slope Food Coop) BDS Meeting about the "Displacement of Bedouin Palestinians in Israel" and Soda Streams Role. COME AND PROTEST!!!!!
bs"d
Background:
In April 2015, in a Park Slope Food Coop General Meeting, the BDS movement within the Brooklyn Park Slope Food Coop succeeded in placing a BDS Agenda Item to Boycott Soda Stream because they, an Israeli, Jewish Company was situated in Judea and Samaria aka by Israel's enemies as the "Occupied West Bank". Soda Stream employed Jew and Noahides alike among them 50 Palestinians offering them great work conditions, pay and benefits.
The pro BDS presenters at this PSFC General Meeting started presenting their agenda by hanging untruthful, misleading offensive pictures of the IDF "terrorizing" Palestinians terrorists or terrorist wannabees. The membership present at this Park Slope Meeting passionately protested this provocative BDS Agenda Item. Because of the "disruption" by the anti BDS group, the BDS presenters were unable to present their BDS Agenda item. In retaliation, the Disciplinary committee of the Brooklyn Park Slope Food Coop brought charges against 4 of the protesters. Those that protested this BDS agenda item was far greater than these 4 individuals. (Recently the trial was held and these long time members of the Park Slope Food Coop were suspended for a year.)
Due to BDS pressures, Soda Stream was forced to move from Judea and Samaria, leaving 50 Palestinians jobless.
Not satisfied with succeeding in disciplining the Anti BDS protesters, and sufficiently stopping Soda Stream, this BDS group within the Coop are at it again, now protesting Soda Stream moving to the Negev Industrial Park. This is their flier:
The Displacement of Bedouin Palestinians in Israel. What is Soda Stream's role
ANTI BDS PROTESTERS WILL NOT BE SILENCED!
Notice to all Pro Israel individuals and groups to come and picket this BDS Meeting which is unlawful according to the Park Slope Food Coop regulations:
Protest the Park Slope Food Coop BDS Meeting at 782 Union Street, West of 7 avenue. Q to Seventh Ave., 2 3 to Grand Army Plaza.
B67, B69 to Union Street, B41 to 7 Ave,
The BDS meeting is to take place at 12 noon. It would be a good idea if people arrived at about 11.30 so we could hand out fliers as people enter the coop. Please tell everyone.
We Demand that the PSFC stop their terror funded BDS agenda items and present the truth. We expect them to hold meetings to present the following Agenda Items in answer to the Hamas terror funded BDS AGENDA. HATEFULE BDS Agenda must be banned from the PSFC (Park Slope Food Coop) because not only does it wish to destroy Palestinian and Beduins job opportunities, it promotes Terror and out to destroy Israel!

We are proud and delighted about the building of Soad Stream in Idan HaNegev. We see the company and its employees as stretegic partners in our efforts to develop and advance our region and to create sustainable solutions to the challenge of unemployment in the Negev as a whole and in the Beduin community in particular.
