ZOA's Klein Criticizes Huma Abedin Attack on AIPAC and Jews Share       For more information contact Morton A. Klein 212-481-1500 NEW YORK, October 10, 2016 By Richard Pollock Huma Abedin, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's closest aide, urged former President Bill Clinton in 2009 to reject a speaking invitation before the American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC), asking his assistant in an email, do "u really want to consider sending him into that crowd?" Abedin's comment about "that crowd" has sparked anger and consternation among Jewish and non-Jewish leaders who consider it hostile to Jews and to the State of Israel. Her comments are raising uncomfortable questions about Abedin's past and her family's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. "Appalling" is how Morton Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America, described the email, adding that it, "shows hostility toward Jews and Israel in light of the fact that 'that crowd' gives huge ovations to White House speakers." Klein pointed to the Abedin family's ties to a radical Islamic group, saying, "it makes me think about the allegations about her parents and other family members who were associated with the Muslim Brotherhood." Middle East Forum President Daniel Pipes called Abedin's comment "disdainful" of AIPAC. He also noted her past association with the Muslim Brotherhood. Abedin's comment about "that crowd" has sparked anger and consternation among Jewish and non-Jewish leaders who consider it hostile to Jews and to the State of Israel. "Abedin's disdainful comment about AIPAC as 'that crowd' could derive from her Muslim or her leftist identity – or both," Pipes told The Daily Caller News Foundation. Andrew McCarthy, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York who led the prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and others for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, told TheDCNF Abedin's background raised security concerns. "During Hillary Clinton's tenure at the State Department, some of us pointed out that Abedin's background raised concerns about Islamist sympathies and unfitness for a security clearance that gave her access to top-secret intelligence," McCarthy said. Abedin was raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, by fundamentalist Muslim parents who ran the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. The journal was published by Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, which was founded by her father Syed Abedin. Abedin remained on the masthead as an editor of the journal for 12 years until she entered the Department of State with Clinton in 2009. Critics noted her father's main benefactor was Abdullah Omar Naseef, secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL). The U.S. Department of the Treasury designated Rabita Trust, a subsidiary of the MWL, as a terrorist entity. Osama bin Laden credited MWL as a funding source after the 9/11 attacks. Abedin has kept her personal political views to herself. Accusations of anti-Semitism were blunted by her marriage to former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who is Jewish. That marriage is ending after Weiner was caught multiple times sexting online, most recently while sitting next to his son. The issue of AIPAC's interest in Bill Clinton's attendance was raised in two sets of emails, all dated Sept. 10, 2009. The State Department released them Sept. 21, 2016, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the conservative advocacy group Citizens United. The AIPAC issue was raised by Doug Band, who was Bill Clinton's White House "body man." Band now boasts on his corporate web site that he was "the key architect of Clinton's post-Presidency" and created and built the Clinton Global Initiative that critics link to corrupt "pay to play" deals with overseas corporations, wealthy individuals and foreign governments. Band also was recently credited with securing access of Clinton Foundation donors to Hillary Clinton. Band is now the chairman of Teneo, a company that has been dubbed "Clinton, Inc." Abedin was senior adviser to Teneo while she was serving as deputy chief of staff for Hillary Clinton. Abedin's special status allowing her to draw paychecks from the government and Teneo is being investigated by Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. In a Sept. 10, 2009, email, Band told Cheryl Mills and Abedin that Bill Clinton was reluctant to attend the AIPAC Jewish forum, stating, "Aipac begging for wjc to come speak at conference. He doesn't think he should unless you all do." Mills, Hillary's chief of staff, told Band the final decision was up to Hillary Clinton and she would touch base with her. As Mills sought that answer, Abedin comments, "U really want to consider sending him into that crowd?" An apparently impatient Band pointedly asked, "Go or not go?" Abedin finally responds: "No go to aipac." It's unclear from the email exchange why they wanted to skip the AIPAC meeting. Bill Clinton twice addressed AIPAC in the 1990s as president. Hillary Clinton spoke before AIPAC in 2010 after her husband was asked to address the group. Bill Clinton attended the funeral for Israeli leader Shimon Peres last week, but in years past, Bill Clinton has expressed more sympathy for the Palestinians than Israelis. "I will never forget what it taught me about your suffering, your history of dispossession and dispersal, but also about your resilience and courage," he said in an open letter to the Palestinian people on Jan. 19, 2001, the day he left the White House. He also released a statement to the Israelis. Here, however, he counseled "compromise" rather than empathy: "Compromise is often difficult and always painful. But the people and leaders of the region must understand that to seek a peace without compromise is not to seek peace at all." This article was published by Daily Caller and may be found here.

Yom Kippur, Post Yom Kippur Message. Uniting the Nation of Israel against the BDS Narrative of Israel's "Belligerent Occupation" of the West Bank and against the Palestinian Lie.

Bsd

Dear Partners in Fighting BDS.

On Erev Yom Kippur, the eve of Yom Kippur, the Ketores was ground very very finely, as an Atonement for the People of Israel.  No ingredient was to be omitted or else the Ketores offering was invalid.  Also on Kol Nidrei every kind of Jew must be there in order for our entreaties to be accepted.  That is why talking about Uniting is relevant for today, Erev Yom Kippur, Yom Kippur.

Fyi. We are up against a formidable BDS coalition. See link below. We should learn from our enemies how to unite and then with G-d's help, defeat them!

The foundation of their justification for BDS is Israel's "Belligerent Occupation" of "Palestine" aka the "West Bank".

We are all Sinners...and we are all Areivim, guarantors for one another. My sin causes my fellow Jew to be culpable as does his sin to me. 

I for sure am not free from sin and it is easy to see the sin of others.. So please forgive me for raising awareness of transgressions of others whom I would recognize as probably much more worthy than myself if I would only see the big picture.  G-d knows how many defending angels they created which I don't mention nor know about.

Unfortunately, the case for BDS has been bolstered by Israel Supreme Court rulings which have had a bias against settlers in Amona, Ofra, and the hilltop youth etc and by the foreign policies of Netanyahu who has yet to reject the 2 State Solution. The  unfaltering" commitment" to the "Peace Process", which is contrary to Eternal Covenant G-d made with our Forefathers and the Nation of Israel, provides legitimacy to their claim to the "West Bank".

Logically, why would anyone agree to forfeit something very precious which rightfully belongs to him? 

The conclusion is that  Israel does not really believe that this Land is their exclusive entitlement and/or do not appreciate how very precious the gift of the Land of Israel truly is.  We have yet to internalize and actualize Israel's part in actualizing the potential of this precious Land for the benefit of Mankind.  We have failed as a people till now,  to convey these truths to the World. Not in the UN, Unesco and not to the Obama Administration even if we are convinced ourselves.

 Please G-d let this Yom Kippur be an Atonement for this Sin and while I write this email in Chutz LeAretz, these prayers ascend to the Heavens and penetrate the hearts of those of us in Israel, who are standing in Awe by Your Heavenly Throne saying Kol Nidrei.  Let us annul Oslo, Annapolis, the 2 State Solution commitments. Surely had we known of the consequences we never would have agreed and signed.   We didn't realize that we were essentially annulling our own Covenant with these false agreements.  We were trying to do good.

 The result has been Terror and natural disasters in the past and in the future chas Veshalom,  as the Heavens and Earth are the witnesses to the Covenant. Haazinu HaShamayim VeAretz...Parshat Ha'azinu, Deuteronomy 32,  Moses sings at the threshold of the Promised Land, within hearing distance of all the people of Israel. Ha'azinu hashamayim, he begins. "Give ear, O heavens, let me speak; let the earth hear the words I utter!" Moses calls upon "heaven and earth," i.e., everything, to witness that God is true and just; it's Israel who is deceitful. http://www.mishkantorah.org/rabbi-jonathan-cohen/ha-azinu-v-zot-ha-brakha

Our fight must be fought as a team on different fronts. Not least of which is convincing the Knesset to get Netanyahu's administration to publicly reject the Oslo accords and the 2 State Solution paradigm as do our enemies. (see link below)

Uniting the Nation of Israel for Judea and Samaria is key . This in turn puts counter pressure on Netanyahu to reject the 2 State Solution peace paradigm.

Rabbis and Spiritual leaders must take a stand as individuals and as part of their organizations when possible, for our eternal right for Jewish Settlement in Judea and Samaria based on our Biblical Heritage.

This is our theological weapon against Islam and Sharia which is the driving force behind the Palestinian Authority and Hamas driving the terror.

The Government of Israel, and major Jewish religious Organizations and major secular Jewish organizations are held hostage to the 2 State Solution narrative because of real threats such as a UN resolution for a Palestinian State,  influential powerful positions coupled with  a powerful money trail blinding and binding them.

Today on the Holiest Day of the Year let us internalize "Ain Od Milvado" and Hashem Hu HaElokim. There is no Other. G-d is the Supreme Ruler. We cannot depend on good politics or Hillary or Kerry or on any human for our salvation. 

We need to work together  to address the root of the matter regarding annuling the false claim of "Belligerent Occupation" and neutralize the efforts of our enemies...

Gmar Chatima Tova!

How to respond to Obama's assault on Israel? By doubling down on our Biblical Birthright and for Judea and Samaria. Then rely on G-d to defend Israel and not Hillary Clinton if she is elected!

Atem Nitzavim...We need to unite for Life and Truth for Peace only achievable through Torah which is the Biblical Path to Peace!

The Choice is Ours! We need to believe with our heart and soul and have  a Hirhur of Teshuva this Yom Kippur that there is Ain Od Milvado.

Middle East and Terrorism: Only One Way for the FBI to Regain Its Lost Reputation - Bruce Walker
