Neutralizing any effective protest on behalf of Yesha. read David Bedein email.

bs"d
 
 
Yesha Council took the energy of all our most caring Jews for Eretz Yisroel and neutralized their activism leading to nowhere allowing the Disengagement and the expulsion of 10,000 tax paying residents and the destruction of over 20 communities with their cultural centers and synagogues. Now the rockets are hitting Sederot on a daily basis. One Jerusalem and Young Israel seem to be using similar tactics now before Annapolis.  Once they have Yesha they also have Jerusalem.
 
 
The following was sent to me from David Bedein at media@actcom.co.il
 
 
YOUNG ISRAEL Nov, 25th Jerusalem rally "forgets" about Judea/ Samaria  -Allows Jerusalem under siege by Arab armies. Olmert could support this rally.
 
WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE STRUGGLE IS
A G A I N S T
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ISRAEL GOVERNMENT DECISION OF FEB. 20TH 2005 TO
WITHDRAW FROM MOST OF JUDEA AND SAMARIA, AN ACT THAT WOULD PLACE JERUSALEM
AND THE REST OF THE COUNTRY UNDER SIEGE FROM ARAB ARMIES IN A STRATEGIC THREATENING POSITION.
 
Please cut,paste and read that map:
 
SHARANSKY PLAYED AN INTIMATE  P A R T  OF THE SHARON GOVERNMENT WHICH MADE THAT DECISION -  HE DID NOT RESIGN UNTIL JULY 2005.
 
"YOUNG ISRAEL" SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
 
The Israel Ministries of Defense and Foreign Ministries conducted a study  published and obfuscated in August 2006 which showed that any withdrawal from Judea and Samaria would place the whole country in danger:

Dear Fellow Activist on Behalf of Israel, amv"sh
 
The following were sent to me by very special individuals that are activists on behalf of Eretz Yisroel.  They are personal examples of Mesiras Nefesh which in English is hard to translate but basically means self sacrifice.   When we speak of self sacrifice we think of the Maccabees who were willing to sacrifice it all in order to keep the pure light of the Jewish Nation burning.  The grassroots activists of today that are fighting for Yesha, Judea and Samaria, are the true Maccabees of our day.  We are few against the many.  Yet with prayer, determination and faith in the Almighty, we give up our sleep and paid salaries to devote time and energy necessary to fight this battle for the Nation of Israel and for Land of Israel in order to observe the words of our H-ly Torah.  Please become a Maccabee and join us  by making phone calls, pray in front of 770 in Crown Heights on Sunday,November 25th with Tamar,  or protest in front of the Israeli Consulate on Monday November 26th  with Buddy and Eva or protest in Annapolis on Tuesday, November 27th with Helen from Afsi , or lobby on Capital Hill on Tuesday on November 27th with Gennady.  If none of the above is possible then do whatever you can. Speak constantly about this terrible decree, Heaven forbid to your friends and neighbors and talk to your rabbis to do their share as well.  Spend time lobbying on the phone or in the synagogue or at work or at your lunch break.  Lemaan Tzion Lo Echesha.  For Zion I will not be Silent!   Speak up at the Agudah Convention and ask the Rabbinic Leaders to speak out for Judea and Samaria this coming Thanksgiving!!!!! 
 
To my Dear Friends, My Fellow Activists, our Modern Day Macabees, amv"sh
 
Yasher Koach!  (May you have strength from the One Above) 
 
Thank you, Tamar Edelstein, Buddy Macy and Eva, Helen Freedman of Afsi and Gennady of Bnei Eilim.

Received from Buddy Macy:
 
As the mainstream American Jewish "leaders" continue to shirk their responsibilities to the Jewish People by refusing to protest the planning in Annapolis of the second Holocaust - the give away of half of Jerusalem and all of the Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria, and the deliverance of thousands of terrorists to within a cheap rocket's launch of all of Israel's population centers, including Tel Aviv - a group of grassroots activists has taken it upon themselves to rally against the suicidal plans.
 
Please join us this Monday, November 26th, from 12 Noon to 2 p.m., outside the Israeli Consulate in New York City (2nd Avenue at 43rd Street).  Bring posters, fliers and plenty of energy to this critical rally.  We must prevent the Israeli Government from leading the Jewish State to extinction!
 
We welcome the attendance of representatives of all of the major Jewish organizations, but do not expect any to show up.
Time is most definitely of the essense.  Please forward this to everyone on your list RIGHT NOW!

For more information, call Eva Costabel - 917-553-6042 or Buddy Macy - 973-785-0057.
 
We look forward to seeing you this Monday.
Received from Helen Freedman:
 
Dear friends,
    Please join us and encourage your friends, neighbors, congregants and concerned Jews and Christians to call AFSI asap to reserve for the trip to Annapolis on Tuesday, Nov. 27. This is a critical time in the history of Israel - and America. The enemies must not win. Please do what you can.
Very best,

We are going to Capitol Hill on November 27th, 2007. Everyone is welcome to come. We reserved a room inside a Capitol Hill and will invite congregational staff of the congressman where we will ask the congressmen not to sponsor the new terrorist state. Without money the Annapolis Summit will fail. We plan to leave from New York at 7:00 a.m. Please do not be late. The arrival to Washington should be somewhere at 12p.m. After we give our talks to the congressmen we will go to lobby to congressional offices. We plan to break in a team of three people and all of you can participate either by engaging in a dialogue or just support the person who will speak by attending next to him.
 
Those who would like to go. Find out the names of your congressmen. Also, we ask each person to pay $25 for the bus for round trip. Those who cannot afford to pay we can speak privately. Note: If something happens and the trip is cancelled or you had some emergency, all money will be returned.
 
There are few options that you can take. When registering for the bus give us your Full name and any contact information.

CAJLCC111907 CAJL CALLING CAMPAIGN TO HOWARD RIEGER AND MALCOLM

BS"D
 
CAJL Conference of Authentic Jewish Leadership
CC    Calling Campaign
Kislev 5768, November 19, 2007
 
letter from Buddy Macy, vegibud@gmail.com
 
 
Dear Fellow Activists,
 
Below is an excellent email written to Howard Rieger, and, separately, to Malcolm Hoenlein, by one of our peers in Baltimore.  I encourage you to follow Monica Caplan's wonderful example and either call Howard Rieger at UJC (212-284-6500, ext. 6600, Secretary, Pat) and Malcolm Hoenlein at the Conference of Presidents (212-318-6111, Secretary, Lauren), or write a very brief email to Howard Rieger ( howard.rieger@ujc.org) and Malcolm Hoenlein (malcolm@conferenceofpresidents.org), asking them how they can remain silent while Israel sinks into the abyss.  And, tell them that they must help prevent the summit in Annapolis from taking place.  Feel free to let me know if you speak with either or both men, or Bcc: me to the email, so I may track how much mail they are receiving.  Thanks so much. Buddy
 
Dear Mr. Rieger:
 
Please do me the courtesy of reading this e-mail.
 
The modern State of Israel was created as a "safe harbor" for the world's Jews—a place for Jews to live in safety so that "never again" would millions of Jews be in danger of imminent slaughter. 
 
Yet five million Jews living there today are surrounded by enemies who are methodically preparing to get rid of them—whether by chipping away at the tiny amount of land that is Israel until it is indefensible, or by wearing down its leaders and citizens through continuous attacks.  These enemies are being encouraged and strengthened by the sympathy, money, arms, and legitimacy provided them by "concerned" world nations and by naïve and/or weak Israeli leaders.
 
NEVER AGAIN???  In the 1930's, most Jewish leaders and major American Jewish organizations refused to admit the reality of the grave situation facing European Jews; it was apparently easier, "safer," and more comfortable to do so.  PLEASE DON'T REPEAT THEIR MISTAKE.  HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME.
 
I do not understand why your organization isn't screaming out in support of preserving the State of Israel as an intact Jewish state. 
 
I understand that many Americans don't want to "undermine" the government of Israel by speaking out against any of its decisions or policies.  This is an understandable, but misguided, notion.
 
The leaders of the State of Israel are human beings—and they make human errors.  What they have done in the past few years have proven to be errors.  Those who love and support Eretz Yisroel have a moral duty to speak up in the light of that.
 
Because of the leaders' decisions…
  •         Thousands of productive Jewish citizens, previously encouraged by the Israeli government to settle there, were thrown out of their homes in Samaria and Gaza so that those areas could be turned over to Arabs.  Many thousands of those Israelis are still struggling to rebuild their lives—without the promised support of the government.  The areas from which they were expelled are now terrorist strongholds.

     
  •         Residents of Sderot and the western Negev are suffering constant rocket attacks without proper shelter (as if there could even be "proper shelter").  Israel should be removing those who are terrorizing innocent Israeli men, women, and children, not sitting and doing nothing for fear of "international" condemnation.  
It is said that the definition of insanity is to repeat the same behaviors over and over, and expect a different outcome.  If so, then Israel's giving up more of anything is pure insanity.  Israel's enemies are undoubtedly laughing in glee at Israel's naiveté—they take more land, continue to call for Israel's destruction, and continue to lob rockets across the border…and Israel tries to "be nice" to them.  As any child knows, being nice to a bully only makes him bolder.
The chief "Palestinian" negotiator, Mr. Erekat, this week REJECTED Israel's position that it be recognized as a Jewish state.  The Arab "street" and leaders think that an Israel of any size (even a square centimeter) is too much of a Jewish state.  The idea that Israel can "buy" the acceptance of Arabs by any compromises is pure fantasy. 
 
In the mind of Israel's neighbors, the "problem" isn't Israel's size, actions, "occupation," or treatment of Arabs; it is Israel's EXISTENCE!
 
Israel is being pressured by misguided (or self-interested) world leaders to give up all of Judea and Samaria—and half of Jerusalem (including the Temple Mount).   This reality is frightening (or should be to anyone paying attention): Israel is surrounded by enemies who would like nothing more than her disappearance from the face of the earth.  A "Palestinian" Arab state within as few as 10 miles from Jewish population centers (Tel Aviv among them) is sheer stupidity from a security standpoint.
 
NEVER AGAIN???  Unless Jewish leaders and major American Jewish organizations HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME, "again" will soon be a tragic reality. 
 
Remember the 1930's, gather your courage, and speak up!
 
Regards,
 
Monica L. Caplan
Baltimore, MD

Organized Protest in Annapolis on day of Annapolis Summit. with AFSI

PROTEST AGAINST THE DIVISION OF JERUSALEM AND ERETZ YISRAEL
 
Letter from Ruth and Nadia Matar (Women in Green) Jerusalem
Sunday, November 18, 2007
 
Dear Friends,
 
The Annapolis Conference has tentatively been set for November 27th. AMERICANS FOR A SAFE ISRAEL have obtained a permit to demonstrate in Annapolis. We are including the details for the demonstration, as they were sent to us.
 
****
 
AFSI has obtained a permit to demonstrate in Annapolis.

We, in Israel, feel that Israel is in grave danger, maybe more than ever before! President George W. Bush is determined to sacrifice Israel on the altar of his misconception that this will serve the strategic interests of the United States.
 
Women in Green cannot stress strongly enough how important it is that you show, with your presence, that you are uncompromisingly and adamantly against the division of Jerusalem, or any part of Israel!
 
I am sure there will be additional organizations that will also arrange permits for demonstrations in Annapolis, such as the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) etc. I have not received their definite plans as yet.
 
WARNING!
 
In this connection I must issue a very important warning. Investigate the sponsors of any planned demonstration in Annapolis very carefully before joining. For instance, it has come to my attention that some organizations which are not working completely in Israel's interest, (no names mentioned), are possibly trying to recruit people for their own agendas. One organization that asked Women in Green to join them in their demonstration, turned out to be affiliated with the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the promotion of gay rights in the US.
 
You must Google the names of demonstration sponsors carefully before joining!!
 
AFSI, of course, is completely Kosher.
 
We wish we could be there with you, but Women in Green must stay on the forefront of the battle, here, in Israel.
 
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
 
Ruth and Nadia Matar
Women in Green

        Respected Ladies and Gentlemen,
 
         May we, the undersigned, Jewish & Muslim Co-Chairmen of the
Islam-Israel Fellowship of the Root & Branch Association, Ltd., bring to
your attention the following:
 

         1.  Thinking and saying that Israel and the Western World are
threatened by Islamic terrorist groups, is a fatal misnomer.  It helps giving rise
to the illusion that we are threatened merely by "terrorist" groups such as
that of Osama Bin Laden. This plays right into their hands as it lets most
of the so-called "Islamic Fundamentalists" off the hook.
 

         2.  Groups such as "Islamic Jihad" and Abu Mazen's "el-Fatah" (in
the West better known as the P.L.O./Palestine Liberation Organization) are
integral parts of Islamic warfare against the very existence of Israel.  In
fact, they are the vanguard of such warfare.  There is no sense in trying
to make peace merely with the vanguard, regardless of what documents or
treaties they sign.
 

         3.  Fostering the idea that bringing democracy to the Middle East
will solve problems is another illusion.  Democracy is a form of
government, not an expression of the soul of a People.  We should have
learned this from examples such as:
 
                 A.  Germany which elected Hitler in democratic elections
in 1933.
 
                 B.  Persia where its present President was elected in
democratic elections.
 
                 C.  Gaza with its democratically elected Salafi/Wahhabi
Hamas "government".
 

Please note that it took Europe 400 years of revolutions and wars to move
from the "Dark Middle Ages" to modern democracy. How can one expect the
Arab/Muslim world (now, according to its own calendar, in the Fifteenth
Century) to swallow democracy like a miracle pill, and be healed?
 

         4.  Jihad against Jews (sic!) was first demanded by Mufti Amin
el-Husseini in a live broadcast from Radio Berlin in 1943 (!).  Then the
principles of "Jihad" against Israel and its supporters -- strategy and
tactics -- were laid down by the "Fourth Conference of the Academy of
Islamic Research" held at Cairo's Al Azhar University in 1969.  It convened
on the behest of Gamal Abd-el-Nassr, then President of Egypt.  The
Conference proceedings were published in Arabic and in English by Egypt's
"Government Printing Office" in 1970.  Our present situation is simply an
outcome thereof.
 

         5.  Real peace will only be achieved when Arab/Muslim nations
declare that Jihad against Israel is illegal according to the Qur'an and
Islamic Tradition, educate their Peoples accordingly, and put offenders in
jail.
 

         6.  Once the Arab/Muslim world adopts that stance, the suffering
of both Peoples, Jews and Arabs, will end.  Distrust will be dissolved and
both Peoples can live side by side (to some degree comparable to Germany
and France after WWII; or to Serbia and Croatia).
 

         7.  Israel came into existence by Divine Decree,  according to
the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)  as well as the Qur'an and the Greek ("New") Testament,
 irrespective of adverse "theologies" (please see attached file). 
 Political attempts to achieve peace must take these sources into account.
 

Jerusalem is not meant to be a bone of contention.  It should become the
City of Peace for all nations.
 
May your efforts find Divine Guidance and Blessing.
 
 
 
Sincerely,
 

Dr. Asher Eder,
Jewish Co-Founder and Co-Chairman
