Robin is absolutely right!The Jewish community needs to see our spiritual, communal and political leaders taking a courageous and long-overdue stand. We cannot pretend that everything is okay when Jews are being threatened by Democratic state and local officials. These actions and those responsible -- and all are Democrats -- must be denounced and defeated!Our Jewish leaders must break publicly with the Democratic Party and urge the broader community to do the same.

URGENT Dear Chevrai Knesset and Friends, We wish to call your immediate attention to the following report we compiled for you to consider before casting approval for the Abraham Accords tomorrow. Abraham Accords -
RETURN OF HOPE or
HOPE OF RETURN?
Will 100,000 Palestinian emigres now in the UAE be invited back to help populate an emerging Palestinian state? The UAE positions itself to spearhead the Ingathering of the Palestinian Exiles Two years ago, an Op-Ed piece in an English language Israeli news site carried this headline: Hope of Return Keeps the Palestinian Refugees Going dateline: 10.4.2018 See: https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-palestinians-have-a-homeland-too-1.5336086 Last week, this headline was carried by dozens of internet news sites, quoting the UAE state news agency: UAE foreign minister emphasizes return of hope, Palestinians and Israelis to work for two-state solution - WAM [UAE state news agency] dateline: 10.6.2020 See:https://www.reuters.com/ The UAE has its own Palestinian problem and Israel is the solution. The UAE is host to upwards of 100,000 people who claim their homeland to be the lands of the Jordan Valley and west to the sea. These "guests" of the UAE are among the 8 million or so residents in the Emirates who do not have status as citizens – which is more than 80% of the resident population. NEWS OF EXPANSION OF CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS IN THE UAE DOES NOT INCLUDE PALESTINIAN EXPATRIATES The prerogatives of citizenship limited to the few has served the UAE government well since its establishment fifty years ago. But now the UAE is at a crossroads in its rigid qualifications for citizenship, which now excludes some otherwise very successful business and professional people from fully participating in the booming economy. The UAE is drawing up plans to expand eligibility for citizenship. "On Sept. 30, the Emirati government unveiled proposed changes to the country's citizenship law that would ease the way for investors, long-term residents and wealthy foreigners to earn a permanent place in the country." See:https://worldview.stratfor.com/article/larger-uae-citizenry-would-mean-smoother-policymaking-and-rockier-regional-ties But one drawback to such a plan for expanded eligibility for citizenship is that it might have to include such "guests" as the exiles from Gaza and the West Bank, whose utility as citizens is not seen as a prospective asset. PALESTINIAN EXPATRIATES IN THE UAE ARE INSECURE - AND MAY BE TOLD TO LEAVE Eleven years ago, the UAE demonstrated how tenuous is the existence of these exiles within the Gulf state - summarily, an indeterminate number of temporary residents identified as Palestinian were expelled, with no coherent reason being provided until this day. This move was condemned throughout the Arab world, which had already established standards for appeal from deportation orders among its members. See: https://www.haaretz.com/1.5469186 In short, before it can start providing citizenship as a means of upward mobility for the valued residents, the UAE needs to find a way to dump its Palestinian population. The "Abraham Accords" open a pathway for the UAE to painlessly divest itself of an irritating obstacle to its plans to include more affluent guests as citizens. THE ISRAELIS JUST DON'T GET IT One hundred thousand Palestinians now living in the UAE forced to return to their place of origin might easily push-start world-wide momentum for a "Palestinian Ingathering" from among the "Palestinian Diaspora". There do not seem to be any media reports on the Abraham Accords disclosing whether Israel is prepared to counter a surge of return by Palestinian natives who might yet be declared unwelcome by the UAE government. Disclosure of such plans would be in very bad taste during at a time when Israel is anxious to demonstrate to the United States its good will in cooperating with the UAE. A JEWISH MAJORITY IS A DETERRENT The establishment of a Palestinian state opens up a can of worms, demographically, for the State of Israel: 5.5 million Arabs are claimed to live in the same territory controlled by just under 7 million Jews. But as many as 2.5 million more people claiming Palestinian nationality live scattered in dozens of countries around the world. Simple logic demonstrates that were they all to return to the area west of the Jordan, they would find themselves a majority in an area dominated by a population suddenly reduced to a minority. But many of those countries where Palestinian expatriates (or exiles) live have no diplomatic relations with Israel. Only the sheer logistics of obtaining a visa to revisit their homeland prevent the area from being demographically dominated by those of Arab ancestry. CAREFUL GRANTING OF VISAS GUARDS THE CLAIM TO SOVEREIGNTY As of today, October 14, the website of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not display the UAE among the countries in which the State of Israel has a diplomatic presence. See:https://www.gov.il/en/Departments/dynamiccollectors/israeli-consular-services?skip=0at Further, visas issued to visitors to Israel carrying a UAE passport must be individually certified by the MFA. This of course is subject to change. Checking visa requirements between Israel and the UAE, Wikipedia notes: "More information will be available soon due to the Israel-UAE peace agreement." The hope for a Palestinian state would be immensely enhanced by an inward migration of those currently scattered throughout the "Palestinian Diaspora". Easy visas - or no visas - would make the absorption of Palestinians expelled from the UAE a dream come true for them, and a nightmare for Israeli security. The signal that they need not have any fear of the government disrupting their passage into the land would embolden those who arrive with most murderous instincts - a point made over and over again by the current President of the United States regarding unrestricted access to his own country's shores by uninvited criminal invaders. VISA REQUIREMENTS RELAXED: A WELCOME MAT FOR RETURNING PALESTINIANS While the Jewish state maintains and uninterruptedly preserves its options for sovereignty over the land, there is little incentive for Palestinians scattered throughout the world to return home. But, if...emphasis on "if" these exiles are to be given some shred of tangible evidence that a Palestinian State might become a reality, many would be inspired to make "aliya". The UAE has advertised that its initiative in the Abraham Accords is to keep the concept of a two-state solution alive - meaning that any commitment Israel makes to refrain from annexing lands west of the Jordan - however "temporary" Israel says that commitment is - sounds a clarion call to exiled Arabs to return to their homeland to build their own new state. At the same time, this rallying point provides a benign destination for those the UAE plans to expel. The Abraham Accords, so unpopular today among native Arabs, will quickly be transformed to a perception that UAE is a hero, having forced open the door to re-emigration of exiles to swell the population of a future Palestinian state. Will the Abraham Accords and other similar regional agreements oblige the State of Israel to accept these Palestinian "returnees" with nowhere else to go but back "home"? How will Israel respond to masses of heritage-touring Arabs claiming Palestinian descent and demanding rights to repatriate either to Palestinian-controlled territory in Judea, Samaria or Gaza or to the State of Palestine Israel leaders committed to when they signed these regional treaties that include "achieving a just, comprehensive and enduring resolution (the two-state solution) to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict"? Will Israeli leaders succumb to the pressure to overlook potential, if not, obvious security risks a major influx of Palestinians might cause? Is this the "Right of Return"... in plain sight? At the time of the British Mandate, the anti-Zionist Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld was asked to sign a document relinquishing Jewish ownership of the Kotel Ha'Maaravi, the Western Wall, in a deal to allow Jewish worship there. "We have no right to forfeit a gift of G-d to the Jewish People..." HaRav Kook also refused to sign. The nations of the world must not be allowed to say they have stopped assertion of Israeli sovereignty on what is not an Israeli politician's to give away.

Signatories
Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan UAE
Benjamin Netanyahu - Israel
Donald Trump (witness) USA
Both Israel's Cabinet Ministers and Knesset verified the Abrahamic Accords.
We will be monitoring the situation especially if there is an uptick of terror attacks and harassment of Jewish Settlers in Eretz Yisroel.
The G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a G-d Who Makes Promises and G-d Who Keeps His Promises.
May all International agreements regarding the Land of Israel be in accordance and consistent with G-d's vision...namely the Biblical Abrahamic Accords. This is the key to true peace, real security and prosperity for all of mankind.

אל המקום אשר….
Hoshana Rabba 5781
Dear Patriots of Israel,
"For you the world was created."
"In a place where there is no man be a man."
We have an immediate crisis on our hands.
Netanyahu will formally present for ratification the Abraham Accords to his Cabinet on Monday, October 12th.
Following that, the treaty will be brought before the Knesset for vote.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/288667
The Cabinet will be under tremendous pressure to ratify this Abrahamic Accord. If they don't it will make Netanyahu and Trump look very bad.
On the other hand Israel can't ratify this agreement so long as there is a mere suggestion of a two State Solution as it nullifies G-d's Covenant with our Forefathers and therefore void in its conception.
Both Trump and Netanyahu need G-d on their side.
G-d is probably not happy with Netanyahu's willingness to share Israel's ancestral birthright with the Palestinians. Is it happenstance that Netanyahu couldn't put together a coalition and now has to share a unity government with Gantz?
Trump was doing amazing even with his impeachment hearings. His popularity just increased but then the Deal of the Century was announced Jan. 28, 2020. Is it happenstance that the WHO declared Covid a global emergency Jan 30, 2020 just 2 days later and the economy he brilliantly salvaged nearly collapsed over a short few week time period?
President Trump is now facing a contested election. Will Trump have to share the Oval Office with the Democrats measure for measure? I don't think he'd like that one bit.
Not too late to save the day!
Introducing Operation Zocher HaBrit.
Between the time you get this email and the time Netanyahu's meeting with his cabinet on Monday we need to "mobilize our troops" and lobby the Cabinet Ministers to agree to sign the Abrahamic Accords only under the following conditions.
- Take out any clauses suggesting self determination of Arabs in the delineated boundaries of Eretz Yisroel. Such a clause is inconsistent with the Bible and the Mandate of Palestine which entrusted Britain to be the Trustee to reconstitute Palestine, to the Jewish People. England with the signing of the White Paper betrayed this trust and closed the border to Jews and opened it to Arabs. 6 million Jews perished in the Holocaust as they had no place of refuge to flee.
- Add a clause that the Jewish Settlers of Judea and Samaria and other communities will have permission to set up militias and have the authority to defend themselves if they are attacked by hostile enemies. See clarification below if red warning lights just went on.*
- Add a clause that the textbooks and educational materials used in UNRWA schools and throughout Israel including Judea and Samaria, will be subject to review making sure all hate indoctrination against Israel and the Jewish people are removed.
If the cabinet ratifies the Abrahamic Accords as presented to them without the proposed clauses that address Pikuach Nefesh, Operation Zocher HaBrit consisting of Jewish Patriots in Israel and the Diaspora will put out a PR campaign on behalf of the Jewish Citizens of Israel with the headlines "Taxation without Representation!" which puts the government of the State of Israel in a negative light. We would rather not do that!
We want everyone to wake up!
No Justice No Peace!
How is it that citizens of Israel who pay their taxes and whose sons are the first to sign up for combat duty are treated as 2nd class citizens?
We have lots of documentation to support allegations against the government of the State of Israel on their failure to protect and defend their citizens!
Documentation: Patriots of Israel - Taxation Without Representation
https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2020/09/documented-jews-living-in-judea-and.html?m=1
The bottom line is that the State of Israel is doing a very poor job in protecting its citizens, subject to constant stonings, molotov cocktails, rockets, knivings etc. The perpetrators if caught are released and there is no deterrence.
This has to end!
In addition, what point is there in signing a peace treaty with the UAE, perpetuating the myth of self determination of Arabs in Israel's ancestral homeland?
The mere suggestion is giving Arabs false hope of autonomy. Arabs live in very close proximity to Jews and to Israelis, and their school education indoctrinates Arab kids to hate Jews and Israel. This is a sure recipe for disaster.
Who wants a neighbor that hates them?
We are deluding ourselves by calling it normalization.
May Hashem sweeten any evil decree and may all the curses turn into Blessings.
*Clarification:
We are suggesting that the Cabinet and Knesset authorize the formation of militias to help protect Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and elsewhere, militias which specifically represent their own communities and property, militias coordinated with the IDF.
We suggest that a clause of the above suggestion be included in any signed agreement with the UAE..
We are one family. If the State of Israel ties the hand of the IDF and The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT),
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinator_of_Government_Activities_in_the_Territories,
basically turns a blind eye, then Judea and Samaria and all communities for that matter under attack should be given full authority, with the full coordination, support and consent of the State of Israel, to defend themselves.
It's a novel approach but the State of Israel has gotten itself into a bind and can't seem to adequately defend Judea and Samaria and the Jews living in Judea and Samaria are not being allowed to defend themselves. And many communities outside of Judea and Samaria are experiencing similar threats and are under siege unprotected. The citizens of Sderot for example is a perfect example.
Again, the status quo is not sustainable!
We don't want a civil war Chas veSholom!
However, all citizens coming from communities in Judea and Samaria and any part of Israel for that matter, including the Negev and the Galil as well, living on the Gaza border should and must be protected! Especially in communities in Judea and Samaria, where the percentage of combat soldiers relative to other communities are very high, and have loyal Israeli patriots who pay their fair share in taxes, and are sitting on the front line, and live on the high ground.
That's the right of every citizen in any country..
This stipulation in turn protects the entire Israel, especially large population centers situated on low ground like Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak and Ben Gurion.
Compare the situation in Israel with what triggered the Revolutionary War in America. The Patriots created their own militias when they weren't treated fairly. And it wasn't even because the British were physically attacking them with stones and rockets. It was merely "taxation without representation". That was reason enough to fight for freedom!
Of course we don't want a civil war with Jew fighting fellow Jew. These militias are for the purpose of fighting hostile enemies. These enemies of Israel and the Jewish people are stoning innocent travellers on the roads, spreading arson on private property, stealing livestock or cars, infiltrating communities and perpetrating terror attacks, cutting down or destroying planted trees, breaking into homes and robbing the occupants, common in communities near Arab villages, sending rockets and explosive balloons and spreading fires close to Gaza etc...
Practically if communities are surrounded by hostile Arabs and can't defend themselves, and the IDF is not doing their job effectively and COGAT turns a blind eye and even worse, investigates and brings criminal charges against the victims for defending themselves, then naturally there is no deterrence, and the communities are not safe.
Presenting a Revolutionary but Doable Solution!
Here is an opportunity to suggest that the Settlers in Judea and Samaria be given the opportunity to create a prototype Torah Autonomy.
Not a hostile autonomy to the State of Israel like the PA. The opposite! A sister Autonomy governed by laws that are consistent to Torah as per the Resolution of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah in Marienbad 1937.
...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

The thought of a Torah Autonomy is revolutionary.
The current secular State of Israel is not prepared for such a radical change.
However, if a relatively small prototype Torah Autonomy is given a chance to govern according to Torah guidelines in Judea and Samaria where the population is open and would welcome the opportunity, then it might actually allow the world to see a Torah run government and judge for itself.
It is our belief, hope and prayer that such an experiment will prove to be an eye opener and the world will say. Am Chacham veNavon , a smart and wise Nation ...
A government in Israel based on Torah is what we pray for daily.
Are our prayers relevant or mere lip service?
