Operation Amud Anan. Its a ceasefire. We cease. They fire. What now?

bs"d
 
It lasted 21 minutes.    The ceasefire went into effect at 9:00 PM.    At 9:21, three rockets were fired into Ashkelon and Sderot.    At 9:38 three more landed in Sha'ar Ha'Negev.    At 9:42 sirens were heard again in Ashkelon.    At 10:01 sirens were heard in Kiryat Malachi and Ashdod.    At 10:08 a rocket landed in Ashdod. (TY Shmuel Sackett) Israel Radio reported in the 11 PM news bulleting that since the start of the ceasefire at 9 PM the terrorist have launched 20 attacks against Israel.(TY Imra)...As Noam Bedein of Sderot Media Center wrote: 'Cease Fires' between Israel and Hamas: 6 years of a record of non compliance ...Since the last day of Operation Cast Lead (January 18, 2009) until the 1st day of Operation Pillar of Defense, the Gaza Hamas regime launched 2,000 aerial attacks against Israel. That was the third 'ceasefire' between Israel and Hamas.
 
But in my opinion, Gam Zu LeTova....A cease fire might be in our best interest under Netanyahus watch:
 
Call it what you wish but this is War! A ground offensive requires a leader with the right goal, with strong inner conviction with steel resolve, who fears G-d above all and believes in the Torah with simple faith and his actions reflect his faith.
 
Misguided compassion differentiates between a leader like King David and King Saul. That will determine whether there is victory or defeat.  Note that today's bus attack in Tel Aviv was on King Shaul Street. 
 
We need a leader like King David not a King Saul to lead our troops into shaheed infested territory. 
 
The primary goal must be to
  • Proudly claim our G-d Given Land as per the Covenant with our Forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as is written in the Holy Torah and proclaim our rights to our Land loud and clear to ourselves and the international community!
  • That is the only way we will succeed to:
    • protect our soldiers and our people
    • clean out Gaza from weapons and terrorists. 

Compassion to a barbaric people is misplaced and cruel. Our soldiers must not be sacrifices  in urban warfare for the misguided PR driven "moral upper hand" goal.   Protecting our soldiers from Shaheedism and suicide bombers takes precedance over civilian deaths and casualties due to hamas tactics. http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.co.il/2012/11/hamas-tactic-require-israel-to-cause.html

 
Hamas is responsible for bloody human corpses and gory pictures readily publicized in international media.  When such media fails to expose Hamas as responsible for the deaths of civilians in war with Israel they choose to allign themselves with Hamas a terror organization. (see attachments which tells it all)
 
In FOUR DAYS, November 25th elections for the Likud Knesset list are taking place and this is where we will show our leaders what we feel about them!

DESPITE WAR, PM NETANYAHU HAS NOT POSTPONED THE PRIMARIES, SO...

Accountability 5: Vote for Those who Get Things Done - Mattot Arim's Parliamentary Report 5

Here is Parliamentary Report 5 by Mattot Arim:

In Hebrew: http://heb.mattotarim.org/images/docs/report_5.pdf (click on the link).

Partial translation into English by Dr. Audrey Samuels: http://heb.mattotarim.org/images/docs/mattotarimreport5englishpartial.pdf

Parliamentary Report 5 discloses what the MKs and ministers got done in the second half of year 2011.

Reminder, here is Report1: http://heb.mattotarim.org/index.php/reports/84-report1-2009 in Hebrew.

And here, in English, translated by IMRA, are: Report 2 -- http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=58791 and Report 3 -- http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=58924 and Report 4 -- http://imra.org.il/story.php3?id=58981.

Subscribe to IMRA (no cost) here: http://www.imra.org.il/subscribe.php3.

We invite you to vote for the high-scorers, for example Likud's Zeev Elkin who was twice the Mattot Arim Report's "gold medallist", so that this term, YOUR Knesset and YOUR Government, will get DONE what YOU want!

High scoring MKs and ministers, in the Mattot Arim parliamentary reports, are those who have been standing strong against Oslo, Disengagement, Palestinian State and other pro-Arab anti-Israel paradigms.

Preliminary voting tips (more to come):

THE BIG SIX: There are 4 MKs and one minister which consistently do well in all reports - Danny Danon, Zeev Elkin, Zipi Hotovely and Yariv Levin. Top-ranking minister: Yuli Edelstein. Make sure these 5 are on your list!! The most realistic of the new ideological candidates is Moshe Feiglin so he should be Number 6 on all ballots.

Residents of the Ashdod-Rehovot area (Shfela area) -- please note!! It is important for you to vote for Meir Malka. He is running against a very powerful proponent of disengagement. If you vote for Malka who has the same kind of national viewpoint you do, you are sparing the Knesset his rival who could be very dangerous. Please forward this paragraph about the important candidacy of Shfela representative Meir Malka, to EVERYONE you know in the following cities: Ashdod, Rishon leZion, Rehovot, Modiin, Lod, Gedera, Yavneh, Nes Ziona, Ramleh, Kiryat Ekron, Beer Yakov, Bet Dagan, Bnei Ayish, Gan Yavne, Mazkeret Batya, Macabim-Reut. Only Likud-registered residents of those cities are eligible to vote for Meir Malka.

 

Besides the Israel elections......What else can be done? 

 
 
Prepare for War as did Yaakov Avinu:
 
  • Say Tehillim 130,121, 83,20,91,143
  • Improve Shabbat observance "Worldwide Shabbat Observance for the Protection of Israeli Soldiers and Citizens."Facebook page,Read about this campaign in the Jewish Press http://www.jewishpress.com/news/observing-shabbat-worldwide-to-protect-israel/2012/11/20/
  • Israel Dog Defense http://israeln.com/pipermail/israeldogdefense_israeln.com/2012-November/000021.html The canine unit needs volunteers and sponsors NOW. Volunteers and funds are needed. Funds can be sent to "Defenders of The Land" POBox 6592 Jerusalem Israel, 91060 http://www.facebook.com/idfonline?sk=app_154742157933182#!/notes/yekutiel-guzofsky/ceasefire-sees-fire-brought-to-judea-and- samaria/10151131475274397  Yekutiel Guzofsky writes: "Some of our key volunteers have been drafted and called up to reserve duty.
    Local Arabs in Judea and Samaria are intensifying their efforts to
    penetrate into Jewish towns and to attack Jews on the roadways in
    solidarity with their terrorist brothers in Gaza. Our kennels have also
    needed to absorb and care for dogs that are usually maintained by security
    personnel in our program who have been drafted and called up. Our training
    must continue, and the dogs must be properly maintained....There may be a ceasefire that may limit rockets being launched from Gaza into Israel, however, there is no question that we are already witnessing a serious escalation and intensification of local Arab terrorism, particularly on the more isolated "settlements" in Judea and Samaria and on roadways that connect these Jewish towns with major Israeli towns within the Green-line.It is no surprise that I received no less than 15 calls today pleading with me for security dogs and training from Harasha near Nachliel, Nerya, Bat Ayin, Mitzpeh Yitzhar, Chavat Gilaad, Givat Serugim, Itamar, Kiryat Arba and more.

The True Response: Returning to Gush Katif --

Bs"d
 
 
English translation of an article by Shimon Cohen that appeared today
in the Hebrew Arutz 7
This message needs to go viral. 
 
"The True Response: Returning to Gush Katif"

 

At the end of a tour in the south, the leaders of Women in Green state that the only response that will bring quiet to the south is not to rely solely on a military operation, but to take civilian possession of the Gaza Strip, that is, to return to Gush Katif

 

                 Women in Green leaders Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar conducted yesterday, Monday November 19th, a tour in the south in which they met the inhabitants of Otef Gaza (the area around the Gaza Strip), along with IDF soldiers in readiness for possible entry to the Gaza Strip.

                Katsover and Matar distributed treats to the soldiers - drinks and cookies - and spoke with many of them. They say that these conversations were filled with a spirit of willingness to sacrifice, out of an understanding of the value of the operation. This said and done, they add that as long as civilian possession of the Gaza Strip is not restored, that is, the reestablishment of the Gush Katif communities, there will be no end to the rocket fire from the Strip and the strengthening of Hamas there.

                "There is no point to entering Gaza if we don't intend to remain there, to control it, to settle it once again," the two state. "Enough of the fixed ritual - starting, but not finishing. IDF operations like 'First Rain,' 'Southern Arrow,' 'Summer Rains,' 'Bashan Oaks,' 'Squeezed Fruit,' 'Autumn Clouds,' and 'Cast Lead' proved that without returning to the Gaza Strip, the situation will continue as it was."

                When they analyze the reality that has come into being in the area of the Gaza Strip in recent years, they recall that "seven years have passed since the expulsion from Gush Katif - the quantity of rockets and their range have increased significantly. The friction between IDF soldiers and the Gazans within the Strip has decreased, but, correspondingly, terrorist acts have been directed against the Otef Gaza settlements. Likewise, rocket fire has increased towards Sderot, the communities of the Eshkol region, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and other cities. Hamas has succeeded in driving almost an entire country into safe rooms, in putting a stop to regular life in the south, and even in undermining the security of those living in Gush Dan (the Tel Aviv metropolitan area) and Jerusalem. If we want to live, and if the government wants to achieve the goal it has set, that is, the cessation of rocket fire on Israeli settlements, it must settle Gush Katif once again."

                "The government of Israel must make hard decisions: does it want to placate the international and internal leftist domestic arenas, or to fulfill its duty to its citizens? The decision is not a simple one. During Cast Lead Netanyahu spoke of a resolution of the situation. Today, when he holds the reins, he stands before a historic opportunity."

                Katsover and Matar delineate the steps to be taken in order to restore Israeli possession of the area of the Gaza Strip: "First, the IDF must enter, clean up the terror nests, and destroy the launch sites. Afterwards, Nahal he'ahzuyot [paramilitary settlements] are to be established, which will later be granted civilian status and become flourishing communities that will weaken Hamas. The creation of communities will make it possible to crush the Hamas economic, social, and propaganda infrastructures."

                They describe their meetings in the south with civilians and soldiers: "We went down to the south today to distribute snacks, drinks, cookies and key cahins with Tefillat Haderech to the soldiers. We talked with them. Soldiers with morale in the sky, with the proper attitude, who realize very well that only going in - and remaining there - will do the job. We also met with the strong and wonderful inhabitants of Netivot and Ofakim. It is clear to them, as well, that Israel must take control of the Gaza Strip once again. 'Control' does not mean only military control, but a civilian presence - communities, agriculture, fields, vegetables, schools, synagogues and in short: rebuilding Gush Katif. The land cries out for its sons to return. Any other solution is like putting on a band-aid  to treat cancer."

 

Attached are some pictures of youth preparing the Women in Green packages for the soldiers and happy soldiers receiving the packages. On each bag a sticker with a special prayer was attached, blessing the soldiers.

Objective of War.... Sultan Knish....Armies need to prove their morality to win a war, but are never allowed to win a war because it would interfere with proving their morality.

Correction re: As army enters Gaza say Tehilim for Israel. Saying Tehillim can't hurt but apparently Israel has not decided to enter Gaza at this point in time. Let's davan and say Tehillim that whatever decision is made finds favor in Hashem's eyes and best for Am Yisroel and Eretz Yisroel and those on the front line . Amein Ken Yehi Ratzon.

bs"d

Thank you Chaskel Bennet and others for correction. I seems to me that if this email and text went viral there is a need to still say Tehillim that the decision that is being made whether or not to enter Gaza is the best one for EY and Am Yisroel and that there is no retreat on the part of Israel that will harm it's people chas vechalila in the long run.  

Sorry for the misinformation.  To compensate here is a nice youtube....
