Shomron leaders wage PR War in Congress with Success!
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/wap/Item.aspx?type=0&item=170440
The leaders of the Shomron, Gershon Mesika - Mayor; Yossi Dagan - Deputy Mayor and David HaIvri - Director of Public Diplomacy and Communications, have met with some 25 members of Congress, including Ted Cruz, Michele Bachmann, Trent Franks, John Fleming and Louie Gohmert.
Most of the Congress members, noted the Shomron Regional Council, were surprised to find out that almost 700,000 Jews reside in Judea and Samaria and that Samaria was literally in the heart of the State of Israel.
The members of Congress admitted that they "never met an Israeli resident of Judea and Samaria" and certainly did not receive any first-hand information on the region. They all expressed their support for Israel, said that the U.S. should not pressure Israel to restart peace talks, return to '67 borders and said they object to Israel releasing terrorists. Michele Bachmann called the PA to renounce article 7 of the Hamas Charter which calls for the elimination of Israel. John Fleming said how honored he was to meet the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Samaria.
At the end of this video, Mesika speaks about how encouraged he was to hear of the support and admiration expressed by some of the Congressmen for the delegation. He spoke however also of a vacuum of knowledge in Congress regarding Samaria and that members of Congress regularly receive their information from the Palestinians and the Israeli left rather than from accurate Jewish sources. Yossi Dagan educated them to more accurately use the name Judea and Samaria reflecting thousands years of history rather than the false politically correct name "occupied West Bank" and to call population centers in Judea and Samaria "Jewish communities" rather than "Jewish Settlements" which has a negative connotation of illegal settlement.
Let us address how our Jewish Leaders and Rabbanim can fill this vacuum in Washington.
A little Hasbara goes a long way.
Rabbosai,
Please reach out and open your offices, to leaders of the Shomron and discuss how you can help improve the Hasbara, Agudah, OU, YI and Chabad International all have Washington liaisons and directly communicate with Members of Congress on a regular basis. .
Let us be true to our Torah and Jewish Heritage and true to basic justice and morality.
104 released terrorist murderers as a precondition for "peace" talks is not acceptable for any legitimate legal system, International let alone Jewish..

Please take each and every opportunity to educate our elected officials in Washington and their aids in a way that can help our brethren in Judea and Samaria. Many of the members of Congress are righteous Gentiles who have utmost respect, reverence and knowledge of the teachings of the Torah and the Prophets. They are open to hearing about our legal and moral rights from thousands of years ago based on Jewish Code of Law and learning about International law which supports or rights to live and settle in Judea and Samaria and United J-M.

We need to allow our collective pain of the proposed release of terrorists and G-d forbid establishment of a 2 State Solution, to be heard. With G-d's help we can still prevent unspeakable tragedy and pain in the future.

Our leaders can mobilize their communities to speak out forcefully for Jewish rights to our Biblical Homeland. It needs to be spoken about on Shabbos in shuls and in the classrooms and in the halls of the Batei Medrash. These are matters of Life and Death. It is a reflection of our yearning to actualize our daily prayers to return to Jerusalem and serve our G-d in the Holy Temple and to once again become a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation..
Let us begin this week. Parshat Reeh when the laws of Shemittah are discussed in the Torah Reading. Observing Shemittah as prescribed by the Torah shows that the Jew recognizes that the Land belongs to G-d. G-d in turn, promises this Holy Land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to their seed as an everlasting inheritance. It is for this reason that the Land of Israel is also called "The Promised Land". We have been Chosen because we are expected to be a Kingdom of Priests. The concept of being Chosen is not a racist one. It is a deserved honor due to our obligations to elevate society to observe G-d's will and to make this world a better, happier, more prosperous and peaceful place.
Judea is a Lion Kingdom! Let us make sure it is not overrun by evil which replaces a once blooming Land and transforms it to become a barren Land.
Following yesterdays' demonstration across the Israeli Consulate, Tamar Adelstein coordinator, Crown Hts. Women for the Safety and Integrity of Israel writes:
"Because yesterday Secretary of State John Kerry announced that negotiations between Israel and the "Palestinians" will include all final status concerns and be kept secret from the public until agreements have been reached we are calling upon all Rabbonim and the Jewish Public to make this Shabbos, Parshas Re'eh, a Shabbos for Pikuach Nefesh and Shleimus HaAretz.
We ask that your Shabbos sermon touch on the very real dangers now facing C'lal Yisroel that negotiations, concessions, and the imminent release of those 104 Arab killers of Jewish women and children, r"l, is causing.
We ask that you relay the Lubavitcher's Rebbe's pained concern to your congregations (YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LUBAVITCH TO FEEL CONCERN, MY COMMENTS, ROBIN) and organize a response to Prime Minister Netanyahu that in the words of HaRav Gerlitzky will "bring him to the realization that the only way to achieve peace and security in the Holy Land is by standing firm for the integrity of the Holy Land."
