Letter to the Editor Jewish Star re: Front Page Article Mother Journeys to LI in Memory of Hallel

bs"d

Dear Editor of the Jewish Star:

re: Mother journeys to LI in memory of Hallel
http://www.thejewishstar.com/stories/mother-journeys-to-li-in-memory-of-hallel,13490

Thank you the article featuring Rena Ariel speaking recently at the Young Israel of Woodmere as a front page news item and for  raising consciousness. 

Having lived in Hebron, let me suggest a broader perspective. 

Hebron is unique in that the forefathers and mothers buried there have a living presence.  דברי רבותינו (ברכות יח, א-ב), שהצדיקים במיתתם קרויים חיים

The first sentence doesn't really do justice to the reality in Hebron and Kiryat Arba. 

When you live in Kiryat Arba, near Hebron, you live with the unrelenting threat of terror. As Rina Ariel explained on Monday night at the Young Israel of Woodmere, living there's not for everyone.

 Of course, this would be a perfectly normal and expected reaction and conclusion any normal being would have after hearing of the horrific trauma suffered by the Ariel family.  

But living in Hebron and Kiryat Arba transcend what is considered normal and expected.   

My personal experience leads me to strongly suggest that the children in Kiryat Arab do not live with unrelenting threat of terror.  In fact, probably they feel much safer walking around their community especially after it gets dark at night  than our kids do in our community and the parents are probably less worried if they happen to venture out on their own unescorted.  Just to get an idea of what it is like, I personally used to walk around the Kirya at all hours of the day or night as women in Boro Park walk around their bungalow colony in the Catskills.   Kiryat Arba is a closed community, at least when I was there in the 80's and all the neighbors were Jewish. Actually the freedom children had to walk unchaperoned day or night was a breath of fresh air.   

Infiltration into the Kirya is a very aberrant,  and unfortunate lapse of security. 

One lapse is one lapse too many with tragic consequences! Yes it must be addressed with determination and strength rather than with acceptance of it being a typical everyday occurrence. 

Rena Ariel is addressing the lapse with determination and strength!

"There's so much terror", said Rena "let the children play" was not to suggest that since terror was so rampant, the kids should learn to live with the terror by being compensated with playgrounds. .  

Rena's point was as follows:  Kids should not be exposed to terror. They should be playing in playgrounds.  It is the job of adults to make sure their environment is safe and terror free.  The 17 year old murderer of Hallel Yaffa hy"d was the product of Hamas education which to our discredit is tolerated in Israel and worldwide.  She is telling us that this particular act of terror did not come in a vacuum.  This is something that must be addressed and Rena was making sure that adults in the room heard and now they too were sharing her heavy burden to make sure that other children would never suffer the fate of Hallel HY"D.  

Building playgrounds is our response to terror. The more they try to destroy our settlement, the harder we try to build our settlement.

I liked this quote from Rabbi Axelrod

 That "this is a family we didn't know personally" is irrelevant, Rabbi Axelrod said, "because all of Israel is connected"

Yes... My comments: We share in the knowledge that Israel is allowing Jihad in the schools funded by UNRWA. Surely that is something we Jews in America can address in Congress especially in light of the fact America funds UNRWA and that Abbas is soon to be visiting the White House.  Surely the hate indoctrination taking place in the Palestinian territories is something that should not be ignored and perhaps Rena's presence in the USA was to see to it that it is raised while the negotiation in the White House is being held.

Rena's main objective is to perpetuate Hallel Yaffa hy"d life as it says BeDamyich Chayii.  She stands for, Song, Praise and Dance.  If the terrorist thought they succeeded to  extinguish the light of one child, the Ariels will make sure that the light of that child will shine that much brighter with playgrounds and educational programs servicing lots of kids to enjoy these programs... as Hallel Yaffa herself would have enjoyed.  With our help their Vineyard will expand in Kiryat Arba and with the help of the Loving Almighty, hopefully the number of children in Kiryat Arba will increase as do grapes of the Vine....... Invey HaGefen....keeping Hallel Yaffa's spirit alive... 

Thank you for being partners with these important projects and the Ariel family.

Jason Greenblatt and Trump Diplomacy upon the upcoming Abbas Visit... - Making a Deal. ....Settlement Curb or Mass Building? Do Settler Now Inhabit the White House? Slow settlement expansion for a period?

BS"d

Allow me to preface any discussion on this topic with the momentous Marienbad Resolution of 1937 by the greatest Rabbinic Leaders of the time.

Mishpacha Magazine Issue 179 5 Cheshvan 5768 October 17, 2007 page 26

...The text of the resolution of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah contains the statements:

  "The foundation of the Jewish people's right to the Holy Land is based on the Torah and the prophets.... A Jewish State not based on the principles of Torah is a denial of Jewish origin, is opposed to the identity and to the true stature of our people, and undermines the basis of existence of our people...Any relinquishment of the Holy Land given to the Jewish people by G-d has no validity" (HaPardes, 11:6) See page 8

Paraphrased....The Land of Israel is a Heritage to the Jewish People. It belongs to G-d.  The Jewish Nation is the designated inheritor of the Land of Israel and in turn are obligated to keep the commandments of the Torah in the Land of Israel. This is what H-liness is all about.  The Land of Israel is designated for a special G-dly purpose that can only be accomplished with the Jewish Nation settled in it's ancestral homeland keeping the commandments. This will bring Peace and Prosperity to the World.  Therefore, no one, including the Prime Minister of Israel nor a benevolent President of the USA nor an anti Semitic President of the USA has Divine permission to give it or negotiate the Land of Israel away from its Divinely designated inheritor and primary designated caretaker which is exclusively Israel.  

Billed as self-restraint, Netanyahu's 'settlement curb' actually allows for massive building. 
http://www.timesofisrael.com/billed-as-self-restraint-netanyahus-settlement-curb-actually-allows-for-massive-building/ As past talks over West Bank construction have shown, it is difficult to enforce limitations when terms like 'footprint' and 'construction line' remain undefined ANALYSIS / Israel can theoretically build tens of thousands of housing units within its new guidelines, which it has yet to formally announce anyway

PLO official: Settlers now inhabit the White House. Ahead of Abbas visit to DC, Hanan Ashrawi says views of the 'far right' have moved from Israel's fringes to its leadership and now to Washington BY TIMES OF ISRAEL STAFF April 15, 2017
http://www.timesofisrael.com/plo-official-settlers-now-inhabit-the-white-house/ Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, said Saturday that the Israeli right has penetrated the American administration. "We used to say there were settlers in the Israeli coalition borne of the far right that detests Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. But today we say there are settlers inside the White House," she said, in comments reported by the Ynet news website. "The administration has adopted the extreme Israeli position to the right of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and which supports the settlements."

My comments:

Please Note: President Trump has as his base a strong following of those who believe in the Bible and who have faith in the One and Only Almighty G-d. 

I pray that Hanan Ashrawi has analyzed the situation in the White House properly.  However she is wrong that the Settlers detest Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. She is projecting her negative bias against Jews on the Settlers.  Settlers according to the Torah should view all residents of Israel the same.  

Those that detest Israel, those who desire the destruction of Israel and glorify jihad and terror have no place in the Holy Land. They do not belong in the Promised Land. Israel is the Land Promised to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an everlasting inheritance.  

According to Biblical Law, those who accept Israel's Sovereignty and agree to abide by the 7 Noahide Laws, (Laws that define Universal Morality), are not only welcome in the Land, they are entitled to civil rights as well.  They fall under the category of Ger Toshav, non Jewish Residents of Israel, and  are protected under Biblical law  no different than Jewish residents, to live in the Land of Israel, in  peace and prosperity! 

Today we see the fruition of this reality. Speak to Ayoub Kara a Druze Knesset Member. Many non Jews are  living under Israel Sovereignty enjoying the fruits of the Land of Israel, with wonderful jobs, healthcare and educational benefits. They are loyal citizens to the State of Israel and pay taxes and serve in the army.  

Then there are those who glorify terrorists and teach their young from a young age to hate Israel and to either engage in militant Jihad, economic jihad or support one or both of the above. 

The latter are not welcome in the Land of Israel for good reason. They are not welcome in the USA under Trump either. Countries run by Terror Organizations who desire civilization Jihad do not by definition abide by the 7 Noahide Laws and they engage in barbaric practices that are abhorrent to any civilized Nation.  It is the obligation of such Civilized Nations to fight such enemies and do to them as they would have done to others so that their evil plan is not given an opportunity to actualize. 

Brigitte Gabriel, the Director of Act for America writes:

They wrote the plan of the destruction of the US in 1991. "An Explanatory Memorandum of the General Strategic Goal of the North American Group, May 1991. https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/actforamerica/pages/90/attachments/original/1462910108/The-Project-doc.pdf?1462910108  See pages 16-32 in English

In this plan here is a paragraph that explains what the Muslim Brotherhood Plan is all about:

Understanding the Role of the Muslim Brother in North America:
The Process of Settlement is a civilization jihadist process. That brothers [in America] must understand that their work is a kind of Jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so it is eliminated so that Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions.

Please read more of what Brigitte Gabriel has to say:
Brigitte Gabriel exposes the Muslim Brotherhood like no other. Brilliant expose!

Fwd: Half of Prominent Jihadis Tied to "Non-Violent" Islamism, New Study Shows

Half of Prominent Jihadis Tied to "Non-Violent" Islamism, New Study Shows

by IPT News  •  Apr 30, 2017 at 6:33 pm

https://www.investigativeproject.org/6067/half-of-prominent-jihadis-tied-to-non-violent

Be the first of your friends to like this.

 

Half of the prominent jihadists profiled in a new study by The Centre on Religion & Geopolitics had ties to supposedly non-violent Islamists prior to joining terrorist organizations.

The study's authors – Mubaraz Ahmed, Milo Comerford, and Emman El-Badawy – explore pathways to militancy among 100 prominent figures within the wider Salafi-Jihadi movement. The individuals examined derive from the Middle East and Africa, across multiple generations. Some of the findings suggest that membership or ties to non-violent Islamist organizations can be associated with an individual's trajectory towards violence and terrorism.

51 percent of the terrorists under study were previously connected to Islamist groups that claim to be non-violent, including "bodies that are not necessarily political activist organizations but form a functioning arm of existing Islamist groups, such as youth wings, student associations, and other societies." Since membership in Islamist groups is often secretive and sometimes prohibited in various Middle Eastern countries, the authors acknowledge that the proportion of jihadists with Islamist affiliations are likely higher.

Some of the case studies explored in the report include Djamel Zitouni, the leader of the Armed Islamic Group who was previously a member of an Islamist organization that supposedly eschewed violence – the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS). Senior Al-Qaeda leaders, including Abdullah Azzam and Abu Ayyub al-Masri, were involved with or direct members of the Muslim Brotherhood before turning to violent jihad.

One in four of the jihadists examined had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood or its affiliated groups.

Another interesting finding shows that 65 percent of the sample had been imprisoned at some point throughout their lives, some of whom served time before engaging in violent jihad. There has been growing concern for years about Islamist radicalization of potential terrorist recruits in prisons worldwide.

The study shows that personal networks are critical in the formation and development of the global Salafi-jihadi movement.

"Our data links the leaders of Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS today to the forefathers of the movement through people they met in prison, at university, and on the battlefield," write the authors.

Purportedly non-violent Islamist groups not only serve as potential incubators for radicalization and violence – they also continue to engage in violent incitement, encouraging others to carry out terrorist attacks.

For example, on Wednesday, a senior Muslim Brotherhood member, 'Izz Al-Din Dwedar, called for an "intifada" targeting Egyptian embassies around the world, in a Facebook post translated by The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

In protest of death sentences handed to members of the Brotherhood in Egypt, Dwedar suggested for violent action on May 3.

Egyptians abroad should "protest [outside] Egyptian embassies and lay siege to them, and steadily escalate [their actions], up to and including raiding the embassies in some countries, disrupting their work and occupying them if possible, in order to raises awareness to our cause," wrote Dwedar.
