Rina Shnerb, Hy"d from Sovereignty Movement Women in Green

Bsd

May we be comforted in the building of Eretz Yisrael

The Sovereignty Movement shares in the grief of the Shnerb family,
including Ora Shnerb, a member of the Sovereignty Youth, on the murder
of her sister Rina, Hy"d. We send wishes for a complete and speedy
recovery to Rav Eitan and Dvir.

The Shnerb family is sitting shiva at home, 8 Sprinzak St, Lod.

Shaharit at 07:30, Minha at 19:00 and Arvit at 19:40. The family
requests not to come between 14:00 and 16:00.

About six months ago Ora (Rina's sister) took part in a youth seminar
at the Oz veGaon Preserve and this is what she wrote to her friends
and the fellow members after the terror attack near Ofrah when baby
Amiad-Israel Ish-Ran, Hy"d, was murdered:

This morning I awoke to another sad day.

The death of dear Amiad-Israel was announced just yesterday afternoon.

We had not yet recovered and boom! Another terror attack in Binyamin
and I am filled with anxiety, how many were injured, who was injured
and whether there are fatalities.

And I think to myself for a moment *Why?* Why do I have to live in
fear, why do I have to be afraid to travel around the Land of Israel,
our Land!!

I, Ora, am just 14 ½ years old and I am just another person like you,
but I have had enough, I am sick of being scared to get on a bus with
Arabs, sick of being worried by every little thing and hearing every
other day about another terror attack, other families whose world is
shattered in a moment…

And I call on you for change, to show that we care! *That we will do
everything so that there will not be another terror attack, Heaven
forbid* I am in the Sovereignty youth movement, a movement that has as
one of its goals that these things will not happen, and we need you
for this! Everyone should come, take to the streets, set up booths,
work for our Land of Israel, to show that the wounded and their
families are not alone!

*So let's go – come and have an impact!*

A message to the Sovereignty Youth from Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar

Dear Youth,

The recent terror attacks prove the necessity for sovereignty, but we
must remember that the obligation to apply sovereignty is not for
security reasons but because of the divine imperative "and you shall
inherit the Land".

Now more than ever, we must proudly wear our sovereignty shirts. As
youths, you have a great capacity to spread the idea and to raise
consciousness on the matter even more.

By joining the movement, you have taken upon yourselves a great
responsibility to the future of the People of Israel in its Land and
we are sure that, with the Almighty's help, you will fulfill this
mission.

Applying and implementing sovereignty between the sea and the Jordan
River will once and for all destroy Arab hopes to take over our Land.

We will continue to walk, travel and tour all parts of our Land.

With the blessing of "Let us go up at once and possess it. For we are
well able to overcome it",

Yehudit and Nadia

Fwd: Palestinian education mirrors Palestinian vision Yoram Ettinger

Palestinian education mirrors Palestinian vision
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, "Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative"
August 23, 2019, https://bit.ly/2ZibyX7

Palestinian terrorists are graduates of the tightly-controlled Palestinian education system (K-12), which has forged the core beliefs, norms and values of the Palestinian society. Moreover, the Palestinian education system has reflected the worldview of its architects - Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas.

Historical experience has also played a major role in shaping the identity of all societies, but it is presented (in democratic societies) or misrepresented (in non-democratic societies) by the education system, which thus enhances or corrupts the foundations of the next generation.

Furthermore, the Palestinian education system is the most authentic reflection of the Palestinian reality, vision and tactics, which are camouflaged by the Palestinian "screen saver" of diplomatic pronouncements, briefings and interviews.

The moderately-packaged Palestinian "screen saver" aims to mislead and sooth the concerns of Western policy-makers and public opinion-shapers, who are driven by well-intentioned wishful-thinking and oversimplification. The West is eager to produce peaceful-coexistence between Israel and the Palestinians, in defiance of the Palestinian reality, and irrespective of the fact that peaceful-coexistence has yet to be established among Arabs/Muslims ("believers"), let alone between "believers" and the "infidel" in "the abode of Islam."

Therefore, hate-education, on the one hand, and peaceful-coexistence, on the other hand, constitute a classic oxymoron. It highlights a major pitfall of Western policy-makers, who have grossly misunderstood and underestimated the dominant role played by Palestinian hate-education and incitement.

Western policy-makers have ignored the significance of Palestinian hate-education, which documents the intolerant, violent, immoral, terroristic, subversive and anti-Western profile of the proposed Palestinian state.

Western policy-makers tend to ignore a major prerequisite to a constructive peace process: the uprooting - and not merely trimming – of hate-education.

An April 2019 "IMPACT-se" study of the newly-restructured, more radical and more Islamist Palestinian school curriculum, conducted by Hebrew University Prof. Eldad Pardo, a veteran of Islamic and Middle East studies and a top expert on Palestinian curriculum, provides an elaborate documentation of the nature of the Palestinian education system.

For example:

*Urging Palestinian youth to follow in the footsteps of Dalal Mughrabi, the female terrorist who participated in the 1978 PLO attack on two Israeli buses, murdering 38 civilians, including 13 children and injuring 72. According to the textbooks (5^th grade Arabic Language volume 2, pages 51-54 and 9^th grade Social Studies volume 1, page 53), "Dalal Mughrabi's struggle portrays challenge and heroism, making her immortal in our hearts and minds…. Arab women, such as Dalal Mughrabi who led the 1978 operation, had a prominent role in…leading guerrilla operations against occupation…." Mughrabi is heralded as a martyr role model, and is commemorated, by the Palestinian Authority, through the naming of public schools and youth camps after her; a series of "Dalal Mughrabi seminars;" annual anniversaries of her death; a Dalal Mughrabi public square in al-Bireh; an official plaque; a women's center in Bourqa, etc.

*Heralding the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympic Games (11^th grade History volume 2, page 54): "The Palestinian resistance resorted to many methods in their opposition to Zionist occupation, such as the 1972 Munich operation…." The massacre was praised by Palestinian Prime Minister, Muhammad Ishtayeh.

*Clarifying that the term "occupation" also refers to the pre-1967 Israel (Tel Aviv, Haifa, Safed, Tiberias, Nazareth, Beersheba, etc.), and that the conflict with Israel is not over the size – but over the existence – of a Jewish State in the "abode of Islam," which is exclusively "ordained" to Muslims. According to the textbooks (6^th grade Social Studies volume 1, page 56, 10^th grade Arabic Language, volume 1, page 133, 8^th grade Social Studies, volume 1, page 9, and 11^th grade Geography volume 1, page 103), "Palestine is the geographic area between the Mediterranean Sea in the west and the Jordan River in the east and from Lebanon and Syria in the north to the Gulf of Aqaba [Eilat] and Egypt in the south…."

*Presenting the concept of Jihad [holy war] and the global division – and the ongoing war - between "the abode of Islam" and "the abode of the infidel": "Jihad [holy war] defends Muslims against attacks by infidels and the arrogant ones, and is conducted against those who stand in the way of Islam spreading to other nations…. The goals of Jihad are noble, defeating the aggressor and spreading the tenants of Islam, while the goals of non-Muslim wars are not noble…. Infidels should be warned before the battle, and offered an option to embrace Islam or live [as subordinates] under the rules of Islam…." (11^th grade Islamic Education volume 1, pages 114-115).

*Emphasizing the sacrifice of one's life – on the altar of Islam – as a most noble and rewarding mission: "Allah wants to take Shuhada' [martyrs] from among the believers and honor them by Shahadah [martyrdom] to forgive their sins and raise their stature in Paradise…. They will be married to 72 wives from among the virgins…. I vow to sacrifice my blood, to saturate the land and eliminate the usurper from my country, annihilating the foreigners…." (9^th grade Islamic Education volume 1, page 13; 3^rd grade Our Beautiful Language volume 2, page 64).

In order to sustain the Palestinian state option, Western policy-makers have allowed rose-colored diplomatic communications with Palestinian leaders to supersede, and conceal, the harsh reality of Palestinian hate-education, which would produce a rogue, terroristic, anti-Western entity, implementing the aforementioned values and goals promoted by the Palestinian curriculum.
