Egypt scuttles UN vote on Israeli settlement after Trump warning

JOEL GEHRKE (@JOELMENTUM)  12/22/16 11:07 AM

Egyptian officials scrapped a plan to proceed with a United Nations Security Council vote condemning the construction of Israeli settlements, following pushback from Israeli officials and President-elect Trump.

"Egypt requested the vote's delay to permit them to conduct an additional meeting of the Arab League's foreign ministers to work on the resolution's wording," Haaretz reported, citing Western diplomats. But the vote might be postponed "indefinitely," according to the report.

Israeli settlement construction drew condemnation from the State Department earlier this year, in addition to the rebukes of more customary critics, raising fears in Israel and among congressional Republicans that President Obama might not veto a resolution on the matter in the waning days of his presidency. President-elect Trump stated his opposition to the resolution, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was lobbying Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to drop the resolution.

"The resolution being considered at the United Nations Security Council regarding Israel should be vetoed," Trump said in a statement. "As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations."

Unity Coalition for Israel

Trump team puts forth 16 Position Points on Israel which encourages a veto of any anti-Israel UN Resolution and the Move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

The Unity Coalition for Israel wishes all of our readers a happy and healthy Chanukah and Christmas.



In the spirit of these holidays, we are expressing our joy and elation over the 16 point position paper on Israel (please take time to read it below) written by Jason Dov Greenblatt and David Friedman (Friedman recently chosen by Trump as US Ambassador to Israel).

We could not have expressed these 16 points any more clearly ourselves. The document is a windfall for friends of Israel who support Jewish sovereignty and security in the land. We express our gratitude for this strong stand being taken by the Trump Presidential Transition Team.

In light of the spirit of freedom both Chanukah and Christmas evoke, we want to call our readers to action over 2 issues raised in this key 16 Point Position Paper:

1 - Remind President Obama to VETO the French-introduced UN Security Council resolution proposing the recognition of a Palestinian state within 18 months OR to impose restrictions on Israel regarding any activity within the lands of Judea and Samaria ('West Bank'). This resolution can take place at any moment and we must make our support for a veto of this resolution known!

2 - Encourage Donald Trump and his team to stand fast on moving the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The US Congressional Law, the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, sponsored by Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, long-time friend of Israel and UCI, was scheduled to be enforced by May of 1999. Let Donald Trump, our new Ambassador David Friedman, and Congress (who voted overwhelmingly for its passage) all know that we also strongly support this move!

CLICK HERE TO TAKE ACTION NOW!

Ambassador David Friedman and Jason Dov Greenblatt, Co-Chairmen of the Israel Advisory Committee to Donald J. Trump, should be lauded for their work in bringing about a 16 point masterpiece.

Read and sign the letter below. Copies will be sent to: President Obama, President Elect Donald Trump, Ambassador David Friedman, Jason Dov Greenblatt and your Senator and Representatives

We are also including the entire 16 Point Position Paper for you here:

THE 16 POINT POSITION PAPER by Mr. Trump's Israel Advisory Committee

Jason D. Greenblatt, EVP/Chief Legal Officer of The Trump Organization, co-chairman of Mr. Trump's Israel Advisory Committee & Co-Founder of InspireConversation.com - Nov 2, 2016

Joint Statement from Jason Dov Greenblatt and David Friedman, Co-Chairmen of the Israel Advisory Committee to Donald J. Trump

It has been an exhilarating election cycle. Approximately seven months ago, we were blessed to have been tapped by Donald J. Trump to be his top advisors with respect to the State of Israel. We have been fortunate to work with a talented team of people and have put together the below positions. Each of these positions have been discussed with Mr. Trump and the Trump campaign, and most have been stated, in one form or another, by Mr. Trump in various interviews or speeches given by him or on his social media accounts. For those of you who are true friends of the State of Israel, and for those of you who believe that the State of Israel and the United States of America have an unbreakable friendship, we urge you to read the below. We would like to express our gratitude to those individuals who have helped us over the past few months. We truly appreciate your efforts, friendship and guidance. We would also like to express our gratitude to our friend, a great friend of the State of Israel, Donald J. Trump, who gave us the tremendous opportunity to serve in this capacity. May God bless the United States of America and the State of Israel.

1 - The unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel is based upon shared values of democracy, freedom of speech, respect for minorities, cherishing life, and the opportunity for all citizens to pursue their dreams.

2 - Israel is the state of the Jewish people, who have lived in that land for 3,500 years. The State of Israel was founded with courage and determination by great men and women against enormous odds and is an inspiration to people everywhere who value freedom and human dignity.

3 - Israel is a staunch ally of the U.S. and a key partner in the global war against Islamic jihadism. Military cooperation and coordination between Israel and the U.S. must continue to grow.

4 - The American people value our close friendship and alliance with Israel culturally, religiously, and politically. While other nations have required U.S. troops to defend them, Israelis have always defended their own country by themselves and only ask for military equipment assistance and diplomatic support to do so. The U.S. does not need to nation-build in Israel or send troops to defend Israel.

5 - The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the American and Israeli Governments is a good first step, but there is much more to be done. A Trump Administration will ensure that Israel receives maximum military, strategic and tactical cooperation from the United States, and the MOU will not limit the support that we give. Further, Congress will not be limited to give support greater than that provided by the MOU if it chooses to do so. Israel and the United States benefit tremendously from what each country brings to the table. The relationship is a two way street.

6 - The U.S. should veto any United Nations votes that unfairly single out Israel and will work in international institutio ns and forums, including in our relations with the European Union, to oppose efforts to delegitimize Israel, impose discriminatory double standards against Israel, or to impose special labeling requirements on Israeli products or boycotts on Israeli goods.

7 - The U.S. should cut off funds for the UN Human Rights Council, a body dominated by countries presently run by dictatorships that seems solely devoted to slandering the Jewish State. UNESCO's attempt to disconnect the State of Israel from Jerusalem is a one-sided attempt to ignore Israel's 3,000-year bond to its capital city, and is further evidence of the enormous anti-Israel bias of the United Nations.

8 - The U.S. should view the effort to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) Israel as inherently anti-Semitic and take strong measures, both diplomatic and legislative, to thwart actions that are intended to limit commercial relations with Israel, or persons or entities doing business in Is raeli areas, in a discriminatory manner. The BDS movement is just another attempt by the Palestinians to avoid having to commit to a peaceful co-existence with Israel. The false notion that Israel is an occupier should be rejected.

9 - The Trump administration will ask the Justice Department to investigate coordinated attempts on college campuses to intimidate students who support Israel.

10 - A two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians appears impossible as long as the Palestinians are unwilling to renounce violence against Israel or recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Additionally, the Palestinians are divided between PA rule in the West Bank and Hamas rule in Gaza so there is not a united Palestinian people who could control a second state. Hamas is a US-designated terrorist organization that actively seeks Israel's destruction. We will seek to assist the Israelis and the Palestinians in reaching a comprehensive and lasting peace, to be freely and fairly negotiated between those living in the region.

11 - The Palestinian leadership, including the PA, has undermined any chance for peace with Israel by raising generations of Palestinian children on an educational program of hatred of Israel and Jews. The larger Palestinian society is regularly taught such hatred on Palestinian television, in the Palestinian press, in entertainment media, and in political and religious communications. The two major Palestinian political parties, Hamas and Fatah, regularly promote anti-Semitism and jihad.

12 - The U.S. cannot support the creation of a new state where terrorism is financially incentivized, terrorists are celebrated by political parties and government institutions, and the corrupt diversion of foreign aid is rampant. The U.S. should not support the creation of a state that forbids the presence of Christian or Jewish citizens, or that discriminates against people on the basis of religion.

13 - The U.S. should support direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians without preconditions, and will oppose all Palestinian, European and other efforts to bypass direct negotiations between parties in favor of an imposed settlement. Any solutions imposed on Israel by outside parties including by the United Nations Security Council, should be opposed. We support Israel's right and obligation to defend itself against terror attacks upon its people and against alternative forms of warfare being waged upon it legally, economically, culturally, and otherwise.

14 - Israel's maintenance of defensible borders that preserve peace and promote stability in the region is a necessity. Pressure should not be put on Israel to withdraw to borders that make attacks and conflict more likely.

15 - The U.S. will recognize Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the Jewish state and Mr. Trump's Administration wi ll move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

16 - Despite the Iran Nuclear deal in 2015, the U.S. State Department recently designated Iran, yet again, as the leading state sponsor of terrorism, putting the Middle East particularly, but the whole world at risk by financing, arming, and training terrorist groups operating around the world including Hamas, Hezbollah, and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The U.S. must counteract Iran's ongoing violations of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action regarding Iran's quest for nuclear weapons and their noncompliance with past and present sanctions, as well as the agreements they signed, and implement tough, new sanctions when needed to protect the world and Iran's neighbors from its continuing nuclear and non-nuclear threats.

NEW YORK, December 22, 2016

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein issued the following urgent statement:

ZOA urges President Obama and UN Ambassador Samantha Power to veto the (now postponed) anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, anti-peace, racist resolution that the UN Security Council (UNSC) had initially planned to vote on today.   The proposed resolution would make all of the Jewish communities in Judea/Samaria and eastern Jerusalem in the lawful, millennia-old Jewish homeland suddenly "have no legal validity" and "a flagrant violation" of international law; would require Israel to halt construction in these areas; makes false statements about international law; falsely claims that these Jewish communities are a "major obstacle"; calls on all nations to discriminate against Jewish communities in Judea/Samaria and eastern Jerusalem; and would require Israel to return to indefensible 1949 Armistice lines (misleadingly called "1967 borders"). 

ZOA praises President-elect Donald Trump for condemning the anti-Israel UNSC resolution, and the President-elect's nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman for working relentlessly to try to stop this anti-Israel resolution.  

For the following reasons, the proposed resolution must be vetoed – and Congress and President-elect Trump should declare that they will end all funding to the UN and Palestinian Authority ("PA") if the resolution comes to a vote and passes:  

  • The proposed resolution drastically changes U.S. policy and harms the peaceful transition to the new U.S. administration: Failing to veto the proposed resolution would dramatically change and destabilize U.S. and international law and policy, and thus would violate President Obama's pledge to assure a peaceful transition to the incoming Trump administration.   
 
As Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon accurately said, the proposed UNSC resolution "will do nothing to promote a diplomatic process, and will only reward the Palestinian policy of incitement and terror."

As liberal Democrat Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz noted when a similar resolution was proposed in 2011:  "the real reason the U.S. should veto this ill-conceived resolution is that it is inconsistent with U.S. policy, which has long advocated a negotiated resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli dispute."  ("The U.N. Gangs Up On Israel – Again," by Alan Dershowitz, Wall Street J'nal, Jan. 26, 2011.)

  •  The UNSC resolution harms the cause of peace and direct negotiations: This one-sided anti-Israel resolution damages the cause of peace.  The resolution was prepared by the Palestinian Authority to avoid entering into direct peace negotiations with Israel.  The resolution enables the PA/PLO to continue its efforts to destroy the Jewish State, instead of sitting down to negotiate real peace.   
 

As Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon accurately said, the proposed UNSC resolution "will do nothing to promote a diplomatic process, and will only reward the Palestinian policy of incitement and terror."

Liberal Democrat Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz explained:  "The only way forward for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is bilateral negotiations between the two parties. . . . [A UN] resolution undermine[s] such efforts by encouraging the Palestinians to believe that direct negotiations — and the mutual sacrifices they would entail — are unnecessary. . . . It would also make it more difficult, if not impossible, for the Palestinian Authority to accept anything less than that already given them by the UN — which would in turn guarantee the failure of any realistic negotiations."  ("Dershowitz: Obama, Don't Destroy the Peace Process by Turning It Over to the UN," Algemeiner, Nov. 1, 2016.)

Similarly AIPAC explains:  "Anti-Israel [UN Security Council] resolutions . . . will likely divide the parties rather than bringing them together. Peace between Israelis and Palestinians will only be durable if both parties negotiate in good faith and implement a mutually agreed-upon solution.  The United States must veto any one-sided resolutions and press the Palestinians to return to direct, bilateral negotiations with Israel."   (AIPAC Legislative Agenda: Support Direct Negotiations.)

  • The Resolution Violates the Oslo Accords:  The Oslo accords, signed by the PLO/Palestinian Authority require the PA to engage in direct negotiations with Israel instead of turning to the UN.  (See "Obama Must Veto Anti-Israel UN Resolution On "Settlements," ZOA, April 11, 2016.)   In addition, the Oslo accords authorize Israeli building in the zones (e.g., "Area C") under Israeli control in Judea/Samaria.
 
  •  The resolution turns international law upside down: The Jewish communities in eastern Jerusalem and Judea/Samaria are legal under longstanding binding international law and agreements, and prior carefully-crafted UN Resolutions (242 and 338).   Suddenly declaring that the Israeli and Jewish presence in these areas is has "no legal validity" and is "a flagrant violation" of international law violates over a century of jurisprudence.  (See "Obama Must Veto Anti-Israel UN Resolution On "Settlements," ZOA, April 11, 2016.)
 

 The 1920 San Remo Conference that drafted the League of Nations Charter designated Judea/Samaria for Jewish settlement.   This determination was enshrined as a sacred trust for the Jewish people in the British Mandate for Palestine, and was later reaffirmed by Article 80 of the UN Charter.   The binding international law that Judea/Samaria is an area designed for Jewish settlement has never been superseded by an internationally binding agreement. 

The 1949 Armistice agreements (after Jordan invaded Israel and illegally occupied Judea/Samaria and eastern Jerusalem from 1948-1967), specifically stated that the 1949 Armistice lines were "without prejudice" and were not international boundaries.  When Israel recaptured Judea/Samaria and eastern Jerusalem in 1967, the original legal status of land designated for Jewish settlement was restored.

U.N. Resolution 242 does not require Israel to return all territories that Israel recaptured during the defensive 1967 war.  Moreover, Res. 242 conditioned even a partial return of captured territories on "termination of all claims of belligerency" and "acknowledgment of the sovereignty . . . of every state in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force."    Resolution 242 gives non-state Palestinian Arabs no claims or rights.  Moreover, the Palestinian Authority, Hamas (which would win an election in the PA if it were held today), Hezbollah, etc. have never met UN Res. 242's conditions of terminating all claims of belligerency towards Israel, and recognition of and secure borders for Israel.  Instead, these groups have made it clear that their goal is Israel's destruction.

  • The UNSC resolution falsifies existing international law: In Orwellian fashion, the resolution portrays its drastic changes in international law – which would make legal Jewish communities "illegal" – as merely "reaffirming" existing international law.   (Of course, if existing international law were really what the proposed PA/PLO resolution says it is, the PA/PLO would not need the resolution.) 
 
  • The UNSC resolution is racist, anti-Semitic and inhumane and promotes anti-Semitic BDS, in conflict with US and State anti-BDS laws. The resolution would require uprooting 700,000 Jews from their homes, schools, farms, businesses and synagogues, which would anti-Semitic and a humanitarian disaster.  The 10,000 Jews who were uprooted from their homes in Gaza 11 years ago are still homeless. 
 

The resolution also calls on all nations, in all their dealings, to "distinguish" between Israel and Judea/Samaria/eastern Jerusalem.   This is essentially a cleverly worded call for anti-Semitic boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Jewish businesses, academics and cultural institutions, and conflicts with anti-BDS provisions in the U.S. federal trade law and State anti-BDS laws.

  • The proposed resolution would require Israel to return to the indefensible 1949 Armistice lines.  The 1949 Armistice agreements specifically stated that these lines that have no international legal force.   The lines would make Israel only 9 miles wide and would subject Israel's heartland to constant rocket attack from its longest border.  The lines would also divide the united city of Jerusalem in two. When this previously occurred (1948-1967) after Jordan invaded Israel and captured Israel's old city, Jordanian Arab snipers used the hills of eastern Jerusalem to shoot at Jewish civilians going to and from work and Jewish children going to and from school every day in western Jerusalem.
 

Abba Eban aptly called these indefensible 1949 lines "Auschwitz borders."   

 
  • The UNSC resolution falsely portrays Jewish communities as a "major obstacle" to peace when the real obstacle to peace is the Palestinian Authority's incitement of terror against Jews and refusal to engage in direct negotiations: Jewish communities only comprise a small portion (approximately 2%) of Judea/Samaria.  The Jewish communities do not interfere with a possible future "Palestinian-Arab state.  Approximately 99% of Palestinian Arabs in Judea/Samaria live in the areas of Judea/Samaria that are under the control of the Palestinian Authority, and have their own schools, government, media, etc.  
 

The real obstacles to peace are that the Palestinian Authority continues to teach hatred and encourage violence and knife intifadas against innocent Jews – the PA even pays millions of dollars to terrorists who murder Jews; and that the PA refuses to sit down with Israel for real, direct negotiations.   These real obstacles will grow even worse if the proposed UNSC resolution is voted upon and passes.

Just in case you have never heard how Jane Fonda is/was…………………she is a traitor -  no doubt!!

 

 

Subject: FW: Barbara Walters on Jane Fonda

 

 

Jane Fonda was on 3 times this week talking about her new book... and how good she feels in her 70's... She still does not know what she did wrong... Her book just may not make the bestseller list if more people
knew.

Barbara Walters said: Thank you all.  Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now.  She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment and see her
"honored" as a "Woman of the Century." (I remember this well.)

For those who served and/ or died... NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR.  SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!  And now President Obama wants to honor her!!!!
In Memory of Lt. C. Thomsen Wieland, who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton [infamous North Vietnam prison] --

IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED.  KEEP THIS MOVING
ACROSS AMERICA.

This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do not
remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear.  Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."

Barbara Walters writes:  Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.   The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot.  The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison, the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away.  During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.  In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the " Hanoi Hilton"... the first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action."  His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.

They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived.  Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand.  When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you
grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?"

Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.  She took them all without missing a beat... At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...

Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.  I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.  I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi.  My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the

jungle near the Cambodian border.  At one time, I weighed only  about 90 lbs.  (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

We were Jane Fonda's"war criminals".  When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her.  I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her
as "humane and lenient."  Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released.  I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV.  She never did answer me.

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women."  Lest we forget..."100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.  There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them.


Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can.  It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget.  RONALD D. SAMPSON, CM Sgt, USAF 716 Maintenance Squadron, Chief of Maintenance DSN: 875-6431 COMM: 883-6343
