From Israel: Divisive, Divisive! November 25, 2018 Monitoring the news since my last posting, I have encountered the following and more: – MK Avigd

Like   From Israel: Divisive, Divisive! November 25, 2018 Monitoring the news since my last posting, I have encountered the following and more: – MK Avigdor Lieberman, until very recently defense minister, said – referring to our prime minister's comments to the public about it being a sensitive time for security – "I think it's irresponsible to discuss intelligence information with the public…" – Minister Moshe Kahlon, who is part of the coalition, said: "I won't lift a hand to bring down the government. I think the coalition will fall on its own…" – Prime Minister Netanyahu chastised Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, who is part of Netanyahu's Likud faction, for saying Israel is "closer than ever" to retaking Gaza. I had thought that Erdan was speaking at the prime minister's behest, but apparently not. – Former IDF deputy chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Yair Golan, slammed Bennett, saying: "Minister Naftali Bennett is weakening the army and the State of Israel. It's a pity he expressed himself as he did, maybe it's good for his electorate ... It's very sad…The legal issue has never limited the IDF's ability to act." – Minister Bennett, quickly responding that he would not take back what he said, insisted that a "surplus of legalization is costing lives…It's important for me to say that we have a very serious problem in the defense establishment, which leads to the hands of our fighters becoming increasingly shackled by legal chains." -- While former defense minister Moshe Ya'alon criticized Golan, saying that, "…it is not right that an officer who is still serving, and has not finished the cooling-off period, will attack an incumbent politician - whether his claims are justified or not." Credit: Clipart Library And on it seems to go. I find it disheartening, troubling, that in these difficult times we are not seeing a more cohesive spirit in the land. ~~~~~~~~~~ And yet, I'm going to look on the bright side, for positive attitudes are still out there – if we but seek them. Hopefully that divisiveness will dissipate. At the end of this post I share a remarkable video. Here, I call your attention to an extraordinary op-ed, written last week by an IDF soldier who was wounded in the Second Lebanese war (emphasis added): "TO BE A part of the IDF disabled veterans is to be part of a larger family of tens of thousands of people in this country, people who are truly salt of the earth. We are a large family in which one's religion, background and political views are completely irrelevant. People for whom the country is above all else and they have given themselves, in the full sense of the meaning… "Today is the Day of Recognition of Israel's Disabled and Victims of Terror… "…today is an opportunity to stop for a moment and take a step back from the crazy reality of our country and be united…in the end the country belongs to all of us and we are all part of it, and we have paid a very heavy price for it, and we continue to pay a heavy price for it. Even if we do not all agree on the path, we all agree on the final analysis: we have no other country. Let us put aside our differences and be united, at least for today." https://www.jpost.com/Opinion/To-be-a-part-of-the-IDF-disabled-veterans-572473 ~~~~~~~~~~ These wonderful words were written by Yoseph Haddad, an Arab Israeli. As a member of Reservists on Duty, he has gone into the US to speak truth, in order to combat the lies about Israel told on college campuses. Credit: Love of the Land ~~~~~~~~~~ As I am speaking of lies told about Israel on college campuses, I want to radically switch gears and share some information that illustrates what we are up against and why it is so very important that we unite in standing strong: On November 18, a group known as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) held a closed national conference on the campus of UCLA. Regrettably, efforts to stop it were unsuccessful. A group called Students Supporting Israel (SSI) demonstrated outside of the conference, and a couple of SSI members found their way into the conference to make a statement on behalf of Israel (they were ejected). They are to be commended for their determined attempt to speak up for Israel (although I would have been grateful for an opportunity to provide these good people with additional information to advance their cause). A video was made of the SSI protest, which can be seen on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SSIonCampus/videos/709667259415279/ Please see it. Note that in the conference there were calls for "Long live the intifada." This is a call for violence. Outside the conference, as can be seen in the video, were posters showing SJP activists who had tweeted statements such as: "Let's stuff some Jews in the oven," and "We should just stone all the Zionists to death." My friends, when I saw this, my blood ran cold. It is vile enough that there are campaigns against Israel on US campuses. Campaigns that accuse Israel of being an "occupier" of "Palestinian land," and that say Israel is an "apartheid state"; campaigns that promote BDS and promulgate lies. But the vicious and virulent anti-Semitism encountered here is horrendous. I believe it is something that must be exposed as broadly as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~ It is not difficult to trace the veracity of what was on those posters. Google is enormously helpful here. But what I would like to introduce to my readers is a site known as Canary Mission, which: "…documents people and groups that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses. "Canary Mission investigates hatred across the entire political spectrum, including the far right, far left and anti-Israel activists. "Every individual and organization has been carefully researched and sourced…" https://canarymission.org/ Canary Mission has a good deal of material on SJP. See: https://canarymission.org/campaign/UCLA https://canarymission.org/organization/Students%20for%20Justice%20in%20Palestine "Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a malicious student group who target Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus…. "The group's focus, however, is almost entirely on its anti-Israel campaigns, including BDS resolutions, Israel-Apartheid initiatives, drives comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, mock checkpoints, "die-ins" and public rallies…. "SJP activists frequently intimidate and harass Jewish and pro-Israel students. SJP members have physically assaulted Jewish students, aggressively disrupted pro-Israel events…" Individual members of SJP can also be tracked on the Canary Mission website. ~~~~~~~~~~ But there is something that is perhaps even more disgraceful – an anti-Israel group that identifies as "Jewish": Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). This is what Canary Mission has to say about this group (emphasis added): "Jewish Voice For Peace (JVP) is an American-based anti-Israel organization whose purported mission is to seek 'an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.' "JVP seeks to drive a wedge between American Jews and Israel and 'to build Jewish communities that reflect the understanding that being Jewish and Judaism are not synonymous with Zionism or support for Israel.' "JVP also works to reduce support for Israel from the American public at large and to curtail social, economic and diplomatic support to Israel from the United States government. "To achieve their goals, JVP staunchly supports and promotes Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement initiatives in academic, social, and economic institutions. The group provides 'a façade of Jewish legitimacy' to BDS campaigns and other initiatives that seek to demonize and delegitimize Israel, and reportedly views itself as the '"Jewish wing" of the Palestinian solidarity movement.' "In 2010, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) accused JVP of being 'the largest and most influential Jewish anti-Zionist group in the United States" that 'uses its Jewish identity to deflect allegations of anti-Semitism leveled against the anti-Israel movement in order to provide it with a greater degree of legitimacy and credibility.' In 2013, an ADL report claimed that JVP consistently co-sponsors 'rallies to oppose Israeli military policy that are marked by signs and slogans comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, demonizing Jews and voicing support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.'" https://canarymission.org/organization/Jewish%20Voice%20For%20Peace ~~~~~~~~~~ Jewish Voice for Peace has a rabbinical council, which put out a defense of SJP and its planned conference. Reading this served for me as a counterweight to the sense that my blood had run cold. For by the time I was done reading their material, my blood was boiling. This so-called rabbinical council speaks out against anti-Semitism, naturally. It could not very well overtly endorse anti-Semitism. And it acknowledges that anti-Semitic comments have shown up that are "allegedly" by activists of SJP, but then advances the position that "some of the screenshots [of SJP members putting out anti-Semitic tweets] are fabricated. How do they know this? It is their "understanding." No independent research – just, so they were told. Other anti-Semitic tweets, this group says, were written by students before they joined SJP. In case you wonder how joining SJP helps these students abandon their virulent anti-Semitism, the rabbinical council explains: "…that is why SJP plays such a crucial role. After joining SJP, students have the opportunity to learn about the difference between Israel and Jews and build profound relationships of solidarity with Jews." https://www.nationalsjp.org/calls-to-action.html Profound relationships with Jews who are anti-Israel, obviously. This attempt to separate Israel and Jews cannot stand. It is a canard of the most vile sort. Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, a legitimate expression of Jewish longing for a sovereign homeland. Anyone who expresses antipathy to Israel, wishes Israel gone, denies Israel the legitimacy accorded any other state, is anti-Semitic. ~~~~~~~~~~ I felt a responsibility to share this information with my readers. And I hope that you, in turn, will alert others to what is going on here. Sometimes these groups cover themselves so that people are not quite aware of what they are. Please, share this broadly. ~~~~~~~~~~ In my next posting I will return to other issues. Here, as promised, I will end on a high note. It is six months since the remarkable Miriam Peretz delivered a speech – referred to as "The Speech of the Century" – on having been awarded the Israel Prize. But I thought now was a good time to share it. Miriam is a beacon of hope and joy. Please, take the time to listen to this. You will be inspired, awed, uplifted. And you will know with people such as this we will be OK. https://israelunwired.com/the-speech-of-the-century-that-everyone-is-listening-to/ Credit: Moti Milrad ~~~~~~~~~~ See my website: https:/www.arlenefromisrael.info © Arlene Kushner.

Robin,

Sunday afternoon, hundreds of migrants at the San Ysidro Port of Entry on the California/Mexico border tried to cut through the security fence and storm the border to enter America.  They were also throwing "projectiles" (for the non-jargon-speaking audience, that means they were hurling rocks) at Border Patrol officers, who responded to the escalating violence with tear gas and rubber bullets to force them back.  Note that they did not use lethal force, although President Trump said that he had given the go-ahead to allow it if it were necessary for self-defense:

https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/trump-just-gave-green-light-lethal-force-border-migrant-caravan-beware/

Mexican police also helped contain the incident and stated that the 500 or so migrants who tried to violently and illegally storm the US border would be deported.  Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen also condemned those whose "dangerous actions" are "not consistent with peacefully seeking asylum, and said the US will not tolerate this "lawlessness" and will deal harshly with "anyone who destroys federal property, endangers our frontline operators, or violates our sovereignty."

Deleted tweet

By Mike Huckabee

An aside to Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, who wrote and deleted a tweet accusing US Border Patrol agents of using "chemical weapons" on "unarmed families."  Tear gas isn't classified as a "chemical weapon."  And most of the people trying to storm the border while hurling rocks at the officers were young men with strong throwing arms.  If a bunch of strangers tried to break down Sen. Schatz's door and storm into his home while throwing rocks at his head, I wonder how long he'd just stand there and take it?  In case he doesn't know this, a rock aimed at your skull at high speed can be lethal or cause brain damage.  Although I guess some people don't have much to worry about in that regard.

Obama judge

By Mike Huckabee

If you've managed to stop laughing yet at Chief Justice John Roberts' claim that there are no "Obama judges or Trump judges," and that all judges are dedicated to equal justice regardless of their political beliefs, then here's some helpful evidence of the existence of that mythical creature, the "Obama judge," that someone needs to share with Chief Justice Roberts.  

It's about a judge on the 9 ^th Circuit Court of Appeals (the one President Trump complained about and Roberts defended in between having to overturn their many unconstitutional leftist rulings).  This judge was not only appointed by Obama in 2012, but prior to that, he raised over $200,000 for Obama's 2008 campaign and gave $30,800 of his own money to committees supporting Obama.  He's also – guess where? – on the 9 ^th Circuit Court, where just last month, he ruled that the Trump Administration can't cut off federal money to "sanctuary cities" that willfully defy federal law.  Sounds like an "Obama judge" to me!

But to be fair, in 2004, he also raised $100,000 for John Kerry, so I guess we shouldn't assume he harbors any political bias. He might be just as much a "Kerry judge" as he is an "Obama judge."  Fair and balanced!

This wild story about federal agent's misconduct makes a point

By Mike Huckabee

As we wait and wonder what eventually will happen with the various investigations into FBI misconduct –- in both their protection of Hillary Clinton and their surveilling of the Trump campaign –- here's another story of how the secret activities of federal agents can go horribly wrong.

The Houston Chronicle ran a stunning story on Friday about Leatrice Malika De Bruhl-Daniels, a 45-year-old career officer with impeccable credentials, having worked at the FBI as an investigative specialist and then spending eight years as a special agent with NCIS, the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service.  NCIS protects Navy and Marine Corps secrets and handles criminal, intelligence and terrorist investigations in ports around the world.  But De Bruhl-Daniels is charged with doing just the opposite --- she 's alleged to have tipped off her new boyfriend, who was under investigation at the time as a suspected terrorist, that he was being surveilled.

Dangerous toys list

By Mike Huckabee

As you're frantically shopping for the toys on your kids' Christmas lists, you might want to check out the Annual Safe Shopping Guide, a report by the Illinois Attorney General's office listing the most dangerous toys and those that have been recalled.  Granted, some of these don't sound all that dangerous (I guess you can put your eye out with a balloon, but if that's what they consider dangerous, I wonder how those of us who grew up with BB guns, Black Cat firecrackers, metal toy trucks and fishing hooks ever survived to our ripe ages.)

 

But I do concur with them including Internet-connected toys that can spy on your home on the "dangerous" list.  And I agree with their claim that excessively loud toys can be dangerous.  Not for the reason they cite (they might harm children's hearing), but because they might hurt grandpa's foot when he stomps them.

Grateful for God's blessings

By Mike Huckabee

During this Thanksgiving Day weekend, I hope you and your family are having some great time together with an abundance of delicious food, maybe some football games, but most of all some time to reflect and be grateful for God's blessings.  Just living in America, we're blessed beyond our realizations.  There are those who have little, and those whose lives are crushed beneath the weight of health, financial, or family problems.  But most of us don't live without the support of our family, friends, and our church or synagogue.  Without the network of those who truly love and care for us, I'm not sure how we'd make it.  If things are tough for you this year, look deep and I bet you'll still find many things for which to be eternally grateful.  The leftover turkey can be turned into turkey chili, turkey gumbo, turkey sandwiches, turkey salad, turkey pot pie, turkey and dumplings, or turkey spaghetti.  But God can take what we think are the leftovers of our lives, and He can make something wonderful out of them.  Sometimes, the leftovers are even better than what we started with.  And If you can truly thank God for who He is, you might find the same with all you give to him as you trust Him with the recipe for your life.

Justice Roberts Says No Such Thing as 'Obama Judge,' But This One Raised $200k for Barack

https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/justice-roberts-says-no-obama-judge-one-raised-200k-barack/
