Letter to the Prime Minister Netanyahu Regarding Temple Mount: on Temple Mount Awareness Day Rosh Chodesh Nisan

bs"d

Prime Minister Netanyahyu:
Telephone number: 011-972-02-6705555

Fax number: 011-972-02-5664838


email address: bnetanyahu@knesset.gov.il

additional email address: PMO.HEB@it.pmo.gov.il


Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu, amv"sh Letovah

Please stand strong for Jerusalem and do not allow Obama administration to make you into a banana republic by forcing you retroactively stop approval of 1600 new building units in Jerusalem..

Hebron is intimately connected to the Temple so please stop the building freeze in Judea and Samaria,

Regarding Temple Mount:

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the Temple Mount. As you know, the Temple Mount is the holiest site in the world for the Jewish people, yet the Muslim authorities, aided by Israel Police, systematically deny the right of religious expression on the Mount to all non-Moslems. On numerous occasions the High Court of Justice has upheld the Jewish people's right to pray at the site, yet the police continue to prevent this. Furthermore, Jewish visitors are harassed and degraded. This discrimination is a grave trampling of civil rights. Israeli law is not recognized by the Wakf authorities; illegal digging has destroyed priceless historical remnants of Jerusalem's Jewish history.

Please, end this travesty and allow Jewish freedom of expression at the Temple Mount. I urge you include the Temple Mount in your "Heritage Plan" of sites significant to the Jewish people.

Sincerely,


Robin Ticker

One of Izzy's last emails to me:: DANGERS OF THE FREEZE ORDER-CREEPING DISENGAGEMENT



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Israel Kaplan <israelkaplan@yahoo.com>
Date: Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Subject: DANGERS OF THE FREEZE ORDER-CREEPING DISENGAGEMENT
To: Izzy Kaplan <israelkaplan@yahoo.com>


Dear List:

 

An email was sent out on this list yesterday, as to what we can and should be done to help those in Judea & Samaria who are facing serious hardships due to the Netanyahu building freeze.   Since then however we are hearing voices of Knesset members that something more sinister than just a building freeze is being hatched.   We alluded to the possibility of a disengagement of Yehuda & Shomron G-d forbid but it appears that these voices in the Knesset are viewing this as not so remote.   The response to the freeze must be very severe in order to be effective, so please read over the information below and transmit to as many on your email lists as possible.

 

THANKS TO MOISHE KEMPINSKI FOR TRANSLATING THIS DOCUMENT

 

THE DANGERS OF THE FREEZE ORDER- CREEPING

DISENGAGEMENT

What began as a 10 month freeze in capitulation to the whims of the American President will become de-facto disengagement.That is the simple unequivocal truth.

 

In the words of Knesset memebers

 

1)"Whoever thinks that after ten months of a freeze, all of sudden they'll start building again, is mistaken. This is the salami method – first one slice, then another, etc."

2) "Innocent citizens who purchased apartments on paper, or land, and took out a mortgage to do so, now find themselves unable to proceed.

3) "The Defense Minister, who likes to speak about law enforcement, himself totally disregards the law. He causes the IDF Central Commander to sign an order in opposition to the Cabinet decision – which stated that it takes effect only after it is publicized –

and this has yet to be done.

4) "The freeze orders were implemented in opposition to the manner stipulated by the Cabinet decision, and were not publicized beforehand as they were

supposed to have been.

 

WHAT CAN BE DONE

Suggested emergency program to be implemented immediately with the purpose of increasing the cost of such "freeze orders" and making clear to the Israeli Public its dangers.

 

1) Disrupting enforcement of the freeze orders by legal means legal please, claims, and amending legislation

 

2) Revealing The Financial implications of such a move.

Preparing significant compensation claims. Working opposite the Ministry of Finance to prepare a suitable budget.As it turns out the budget may involve  many millions and possibly over one billion NIS .

 

3) Disrupting enforcement of the freeze by lobbying Knesset committees and opposite Knesset members and ministers.  An initial position paper has already been distributed to MKs and Ministers.

 

4) Establishing a legal aid station at the Civil Administration for citizens who come for a hearing and don't have the necessary knowledge or ability to plead their case on their own. and establishing a Telephone hotline – gathering information on who has been hurt by the construction freeze orders and providing initial legal assistance

 

5) Enlisting lawyers to aid citizens and professionals (contractors, suppliers etc.)  who are hurt financially by the freeze.

 

6) Photography – documentation. Photographing police tends to reduce the amount and level of violence. The Legal Forum has cameras spread out throughout Judea and Samaria , but we need many more in order to be on the spot and record any violence on the part of police and authorities, to be used, if necessary, as evidence against them in court. From our experience prior to the Gush Katif disengagement, we know that the government will try to (vilify the population) to portray the settlers as trying to benefit as much as possible from the public treasury. We must embark on a campaign to explain how great the damage and the injustice that is being caused to the individual citizen.

 

 7)  lobbying Knesset committees and opposite Knesset members and ministers.  An initial position paper has already been distributed to MKs and Ministers.and is showing initial signs of pressure on the decision makers to change the scope of the freeze.

 

8) Engaging the Charedi sectorfor the first time the Charedi residents of Judea and Samaria are finding themselves in the same situation as the rest of the Jewish population in the area. Pressure from their constituents on Shas and Agudat Israel coalition members may provide a significant push in the Cabinet decision making process. 

 

IN ADDITION;

1)Publicize an information booklet on and citizen's rights in the present legal situation (1,000,000 copies).

 

2) Cooperation with activist organizations and providing legal aid to those actively involved in the struggle against the freeze.

 

)Information assemblies in the settlements 

 

Estimated Projected expenses:

 

TOP PRIORITY:

Hotline and the planned activity                                                                    $50,000

 

Cameras (100)                                    $700 each                                                         total: $70,000

 

Information campaign (minimal cost):                                                          $150,000

An Example For All of Us

Nisan 1, 5770, 16 March 10 03:25

by by from "Hollywood to the Holy Land" - Tzvi Fishman

(Israelnationalnews.com) Yisrael, Izzy, Kaplan, a fierce and devoted fighter for Israel, was laid to rest today in the Land he so loved.

 Izzy lived in Toronto, but his real home was here. He lived and breathed the Land of Israel 36 hours a day, sharing in its joys and suffering through its trials and setbacks. His soul was so connected to the Land that he experienced the evacuation from Gush Katif as if he himself had been thrown out of his home. He never recovered from the blow. The betrayal of his beloved Israel, of Hashem's Holy Land, by his fellow, albeit misguided, Jews, ate him up inside. So much so that, in my humble opinion, it brought upon the illness that toppled him while he was still in his prime.

 

Always a family man first.

 Izzy helped so many causes in Israel, I doubt that anyone will be able to compile a complete list. Izzy himself wasn't rich when it came to money in the bank. Much of what he had, he gave away to all sorts of charities, organizations, and political struggles in Israel, and also in Toronto, no doubt. When those funds weren't enough, he rallied the Jews in Toronto to send substantial financial support wherever he felt it was needed in Israel. For years, he acted as the go-between between the community of Toronto and activists in Israel from Gush Katif to the Golan Heights, helping causes in Jerusalem, Yesha, Hevron, Sederot, Amona, terror victims, Lebanon War reserve soldiers, backing demonstrations, rallies, protests of all sorts, posters, videos, and a wide assortment of campaigns to prevent the sell-out of Eretz Yisrael by Jews who had not yet learned the lessons of the Holocaust.

 My first contact with Izzy was two decades ago via a phone call from Toronto. He said his name was Izzy Kaplan, that he ran a Jewish bookstore, and that he wanted to purchase a few dozen copies of a book I had published, "Torat Eretz Yisrael," on the writings of Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook. I met him on his next visit to Israel, when he picked up the books on his way back to the airport to shlep them with him on the plane. Each time I wrote a new book, he placed a special order, "To get the word out to the Jews in galut," he said.

 When he discovered that I was active in the struggle against Oslo, he funded a series of posters that filled the streets of Israel and the media all over the world. He raised money for films against Oslo, and then against the Disengagement, which were distributed all over Israel. The travesty of Amona so disturbed him, he helped me produce a video detailing what had happened, which he mass circulated on the Internet, and raised more funds for the distribution of 200,000 CDs that helped weaken Ehud Olmert and the Kadima party before elections.    

 

Just like Izzy - battling to stem the tide.

 During the battle over the "Peace House" in Hevron, Izzy sent me a personal check to make four gigantic signs that we hung over the building to get our message across to the world.

 

G-d Gave Israel to the Jews!

 I don't remember all of the projects he helped us with, nor all of the middle-of-the-night phone calls from Toronto to fill him in on the latest developments. All I can say is that my wife became accustomed to my abandoning the comforts of sleep in the wee hours of the night to speak with Izzy.

 "Tzvi, we have to stop the evacuation!" he would insist. "Tzvi, we have to do more to help Sederot," he would urge. "Tzvi, we have to do more to help the refugees from Gush Katif." Dafka at two o'clock in the morning.

 And the help he gave to the projects that I was involved in was just a drop in the bucket compared to all of his efforts, and the generous efforts of his friends, whom he rallied on behalf of Israel.  

 Hopefully, during the shiva, all of the stories about Izzy will be recorded. I will relate just one that his son told at the funeral. To find out exactly what was happening in Gush Katif before the expulsion, Izzy came on a trip and met with dozens of people. When he returned to Toronto, he entered a Haredi shul on Shabbat, and after the Kiddush, gave them a stirring lecture to arouse them out of their apathy. He started off by telling about a Jew in the Holocaust who had managed to escape from one of the extermination camps. When the man told his traumatic story, no one believed him. They thought he was crazy. "The same thing is happening today in the Holy Land!" Izzy yelled at the crowd. "The Jews of Eretz Yisrael are in danger and we aren't doing anything at all to help! When will you wake up?! You have to help your fellow Yidden!"

 That Shabbat, Izzy went from shul to shul, telling the same story, his voice shattering, and with tears in his eyes.

 That was Izzy. The pain over Gush Katif killed him. The missiles falling on the Jews of Sederot ate him up inside. With all that he did to turn the tide, helping wherever he could, the inaction of world Jewry, coupled with the short-sighted recklessness of politicians in Israel, was more than he could bear.

 May his memory be for a blessing. His passionate love for Israel and the Jewish People, and his untiring energies on their behalf, are an example for all of us.
