PM orders emergency meeting on settler violence


bs"d

"Settler Violence" does not happen in a vacuum! see comment below! I urge you to visit the Arutz7 reports posted last night regarding this matter and watch the Miraglim youtubes.  

Netanyahu Vows to End Violence Against IDF

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu condemned the violent raid on an IDF base in Yesha saying "we will stop it now."
By Gavriel Queenann

After reading this Arutz piece all I can say is to the following leaders in the Nationalist camp is "shame on you"  for condemning the angry settlers and the "minority" of them who acted "despicably" and depicting those that are angry as radical .  Pinchus Wallerstein is a known traitor from the Gush Katif saga but Ketzele and Danny Dayan? I hope not!  But I am afraid that they are falling into a trap. i recommend that they watch the Miraglim youtubes so as not to be used by the evil forces.  

Let's say that this "violence" was perpetrated by provocateurs as Ketzele and Danny Dayan suggest.   Still, the reality is such that settlers are subject to day to day violence from Arabs and from the IDF and this violence directed against them is tolerated. It is not a minority of settlers who are very angry at the IDF for expelling Jews from their homes.  It is not a minority of caring Jews all over the world who are angry at the IDF for violence directed at settlers!  Whether or not settlers perpetrated this act of Violence, does not hide the fact that indeed they were provoked either by actual violence directed, such as the expulsion from their homes or by provocateurs implanted by Shabak who led them to believe that they and their homes will be attacked and they must do something in self defense.   Let say that some of these settlers that perpetrated these "acts of violence" had intelligence that Ramat Gilad as well as 5 other outposts was going to be raised as was Givat Aryeh. Let us even say for arguments sake that this intelligence was planted falsely by Shabak.   Are they totally unjustified to burn tires or even throw rocks at an IDF who is oblivious to rocks thrown at them?

If you say that they are unjustified, let me remind you of the intolerable acts directed against the American pioneers that brought on the American Revolution.  Freedom of Self Defense and Freedom to Bear Arms are built into the Bill of Rights of the American constitution.  The settlers of Judea and Samaria are not merely suffering from Taxation without Representation.  They are suffering from intolerable acts. 

Settlers do not want to fight the IDF.  They do not want a civil war.  But the government of Israel is not allowing them basic freedoms and are not protecting them as governments are  required to.  Shame on Ketzele and Danny Dayan for not emphasizing these truths but rather worrying about how the settlers are depicted in the Press.   You and I know that the settler movement  is not a "home grown terror organization".  By suggesting credibility in your statements of this being a possibility by a minority of settlers, strengthens the arguments of the government and makes you their tool to divide the Nationalist camp into 2 camps.  Those who are "violent" and those who are not. 

I suggest you emphasize the American Colonists and the Intolerable Acts that led to the American Revolution.

PM orders emergency meeting on settler violence

Netanyahu to convene IDF chief, police commissioner and defense minister to discuss ways to handle settler violence, vows to take firm hand against rioters

Attila Somfalvi

Published: 12.13.11, 11:52 / Israel News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered an emergency meeting following settler violence directed at the IDF. The discussion will be attended by the IDF chief of staff, police commissioner, Central Command chief, defense minister and internal security minister.

 

"This is an intolerable state," Netanyahu said. "Tonight's events are very serious. We shall take a firm hand," a statement on behalf of Netanyahu said. The prime minister will demand explanations and will search for ways to toughen handling of rioters.

The IDF is also taking the events seriously. IDF Spokesman Yoav Mordechai described the incident in which Ephraim Brigade commander Ran Kahana was hurt. "He was hit by a rock and was lightly bruised," he told Ynet. "Later on a bus arrived and unloaded 40-50 rioters who entered the base, hurled stones at military vehicles, broke windows and punctured tires."

Mordechai said that a red line had been crossed. "Hurting military officials and IDF bases is intolerable. There is an attempt to drag the army into the political discourse with violent means and provocation." He called on Yesha leaders and leading rabbis to condemn the event in an unequivocal manner.

 

Asked about the army's handling of the violence he said that the IDF will draw lessons from the event and noted that the IDF chief of staff is personally dealing with the issue.

 

Traces of burning tires can still be seen near the Ephraim Brigade base. An IDF officer whose car tires were punctured described the events. "They opened the gate by force and hit anything they came by, throwing stones, bottles of paint and puncturing tires. By the time the police came they had ran away. The whole thing lasted 20 minutes."

 

Talking to Ynet Minister Dan Meridor responded to the violence and said, "I don't want to think what would have happened were they not Hilltop Youth members but Palestinians. I think this is a cause for serious concern for us all."

 

He added, "When the rule of law is being violated there is no end to the phenomenon. Some say 'price tag' acts against Arabs aren't so bad because it's against Palestinians. Then it's being done in Israel and people say it's not so bad because it's against leftists. And now it's being done against the army. This challenges the authority of the state and the government. Such violence against IDF soldiers must be met with a firm had and in accordance with the law."

My comments:


There is a direct correlation between "Settler Violence" and Police violence directed against settlers and their homes and properties.  When stones are thrown at settlers  by Arabs, do the Police and IDF call it intolerable and  then take a firm hand against the Arab rioters and stone throwers?  Sadly to say, not only do they not take a firm hand against the Arab stone throwers, they instead take a firm hand against the Jewish victims.   These Jewish victims are afraid to report any Arab violence out of fear of being accused of being the perpetrators and then prosecuted in Israeli court.  Check out the work of Honenu

Chabad is speaking out for Shleimut HaAretz!. NCJA calls for the recall of Ambassador to Belgium, Howard Gutman who has betrayed his ancestry

bs"d

Check out. www.chabad4israel.org!  

Baruch Hashem for Chabad and for the wise teachings of the Rebbe!

But shame on some other Jews. Please read the following release just sent out by the National Conference on Jewish Affairs (NCJA)

National Conference on Jewish Affairs calls on 
US Administration to Remove Dangerously Clueless Amb. Gutman from his Post

Contact: Lori Lowenthal Marcus 610.664.1184                              
For Immediate Release


New York, December 9, 2011 -- The NCJA, a coalition of Jewish leaders and heads of Jewish, pro-Israel organizations, is appalled by the current US Ambassador to Belgian, Howard Gutman, trading on his ancestory and the tragedy of his familial suffering in the Holocaust to sanitize his double-headed affront regarding anti-Semitism.  At a time when there are well-documented increases in European anti-Semitism, including arson and other attacks on synagogues, defacements of Jewish cemeteries, physical violence against those wearing outwardly Jewish symbols, and anti-Semitic aspects to public protests on unrelated topics, Gutman's claim that there isn't any increase in anti-Semitism simply attests to his Ostrich qualities.  Even worse, his pronouncement that Israel itself is at fault for a different kind of anti-Semitism, because of its "failure" to achieve peace with the Arab Palestinians is staggering.  

"It is time for Jews to stop using their ancestry as an imprimatur of validity for their own anti-Israel views, and to their dangerous minimization of the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe and around the world," said Lori Lowenthal Marcus, Z STREET president and chair of the NCJA executive committee.  "When the 'partner' with whom Israel is supposed to make peace refuses to recognize the Jewish nation's existence and continues naming public squares and soccer teams for murderers of Jews, it is grotesque for Gutman to blame anti-Semitism on Israel's 'recalcitrance'," said Marcus.  

Beth Gilinsky, executive director of NCJA, asked "How can it be that the official representative of the United States is telling the world that, despite all palpable evidence to the contrary, anti-Semitism is not on the rise?"  Gilinsky, a long-time advocate for Jewish causes, said,  "Gutman is a disgrace for having made those statements both because he officially represents the views of the United States and because he is a Jew."  Dr. Herbert London, president emeritus of the Hudson Institute and member of the NCJA executive committee added, "Gutman has demonstrated in his misguided commentary that he is gutless, yet another pol who myopically blames Israel for the violent behavior of Hamas and Hizbollah."

The National Conference on Jewish Affairs is an umbrella organization of American Jewish leaders and groups which work to uphold the American Constitution and liberty, promote a strong and safe Israel and Jewish rights in the Land of Israel, initiate positive relations with our non-Jewish friends, protect our Jewish young people in educational institutions, and assert the rights and security of Jewish People across the globe.  NCJA is adamantly opposed to making concessions to terrorists in the Middle East, or anywhere else across the globe.  The NCJA calls on this US Administration to recall Amb. Gutman from his post.

Shabbat Shalom UmeVorach!

Arabs Infiltrate Itamar, Beat Shepherds and Soldiers. Encouraged by "Rabbis for Human Rights"????????

bs"d


Dear Esteemed Rabbanim, Media Personnel and activist list, 


The subject of this email is from today's news on Arutz7. 

Calling upon all RABBIS FOR TORAH. Please make the time to come on Sunday morning at 11:00 in front of the Israel Consulate on 42nd Street and 2nd Ave run by AFSI.  (see details below) There will be a Sefer Torah.  Tenu Kavod LaTorah. Bring Honor to the Torah! Bring your congregations.. Don't ask who else will be there.  It doesn't matter even if you are the only Rabbi that comes.  G-d will take note. The most important thing is our Hishtadlus, our willingness to try to do what we can. Deep down you know that we must proclaim what it says in the Torah or else there is a Chillul Hashem.  Rejoice around the Torah!  Let us be proud Jews and proclaim our entitlement of Yerushalyim, Har Habayit, Yehudah and the Shomron based on Torah.  We are the Chosen People for good reason.  We are a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation.  Our Sovereignty in Israel, whose boundaries include all of Judea and Samaria brings peace and prosperity to mankind.  We are the seed of Avrohom, Yitzchok and Yaakov and we pride ourselves in studying and keeping the Commandments of the Torah.  This is what sets us apart.  This is what makes us a Holy Nation! 

Will these "RABBIS for Human Rights" set the tone??? Surely our enemies will publicize their message.  In today's world, inaction while our enemies are proactive is our greatest danger.

 It is no wonder that these Arabs feel empowered following the demolition and destruction  of the newly established shul in Givat Aryeh, near Itamar authorized by Israel.  Equally upsetting is the support these Arabs are receiving from "Rabbis for Human Rights" !?!

This shul was established in answer to the Pogrom against the Fogel family from Itamar. Recently they celebrated a Hachnosat Sefer Torah. This was their answer to the atrocities against them. (Apparently, according to these "Rabbis", the Fogel Family and the residents of Itamar aren't human so they are not candidates for Human Rights.  Chopping off heads of babies 3 months old and murdering the parents and the siblings in cold blood is not a problem.  The Synagogue is a problem. Jews that settle the Land of Israel is a problem).  Did I miss the condemnation by these "Rabbis of Human Rights"  of the inhuman animalistic behavior by terrorists who show no remorse!  If so please enlighten me.  

So much for these "Rabbis" engaging in interfaith dialogue and twinning with Muslim groups affiliated with Muslim Brotherhood.  Rabbis for Human Rights - North America and Rabbis for Human Rights Israel  check them out or rather X them out!

Arabs Infiltrate Itamar, Beat Shepherds and Soldiers

Arabs from the village of Akraba infiltrated an agricultural area in the town of Itamar on Thursday morning, beating residents.
By David Lev

Arabs from the village of Akraba infiltrated an agricultural area in the town of Itamar on Thursday morning. The Arabs came looking for a fight – equipped with metal bars and sticks, stones and other items. The entered an area where some Jewish residents of the town were grazing a flock of sheep and attacked them, inflicting injuries on some of the shepherds. The Arabs also threatened to come back later that night for another attack – this time with guns.

The shepherds called for help from IDF troops, who were attacked as well when they arrived. Two Arabs who attacked residents and soldiers were arrested. A resident of the town managed to take video of the attack. Security staff of the yishuv filed a complaint with police Thursday afternoon over the attack.

Residents said that they saw the Arab attackers taking instructions over the phone from leftist groups – including the "Rabbis for Human Rights Groups," which consists largely of Conservative and Reform rabbis who have made it their mission to help Arab villagers in Judea and Samaria fight against Jewish residents.

Only two weeks ago, a spokesperson for the Samaria Residents' Council, officials of the Civil Administration denote the specific borders of the area belonging to Itamar – which Arab agricultural workers are not allowed to use, or even to enter. Nevertheless, the Council said, Arabs continued to seek ways to sneak onto Jewish land in Itamar, and Thursday's attack showed just how far they were willing to go – with a premeditated attack on Jewish shepherds who had done nothing to provoke them.

In the wake of the incident, Samaria Council head Gershon Mesika said that the incident was "serious, consisting of an attack on civilians and soldiers. I call on police and the IDF to act against these rioters and criminals – both for the attack, which could have ended in tragedy, and for their illegal entrance into Itamar," he said


From AFSI:


PROTEST THE ONGOING DEMOLITION DERBY AGAINST JEWISH HOMES AND SYNAGOGUES BY THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT -

 

SUNDAY, DEC. 11, 2011 - FROM 11 AM - NOON - OPPOSITE THE ISRAELI CONSULATE - SECOND AVE. & 42ND STREET, NYC

 

 

PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND - INVITE FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, ALL LOVERS OF A WHOLE ISRAEL TO JOIN YOU -

 

Speakers will include our grass roots leaders who are not afraid to criticize the Israeli government when it follows policies that desecrate G-d's name!

 

This protest has been triggered by the recent destruction of the synagogue at Givat Aryeh, and the confiscation of the Torah scrolls. We are also protesting additional planned demolitions about which we have been informed:  in Givat HaUlpana in Bet-El, Givat Assaf, Amona, and additional demolitions of homes in Migron. The AFSI Chizuk group saw three demolished homes there on our recent November visit. 

           The uplifting story of the creation of Givat Aryeh by a group of young, Jewish pioneers, led by YEDAYA SHOHAM, in response to the brutal butchery of five members of the Fogel family in Itamar, descends into a tragic tale of demolition and disgrace. AFSI was privileged to be part of the joyous creation of the synagogue, and the dedication, on Nov. 15, 2011,  of a Torah scroll rescued from the Holocaust.

            On Dec. 1 we learned of the Israeli government's betrayal of its purpose and its people when it sent in a Destructo squad, including Arabs, to demolish the modest tent homes and the synagogue on the hilltop.

Understanding Islam in this age of Jewish Muslim Alliances

bs"d

Dear Journalists, Rabbis and Members of my list,

In light of the latest craze of Conservative and Reform Rabbis across America,(Orthodox Rabbis tend to be Silent and not take a stand) to foster Interfaith Dialogue between Jews and Muslims and promoting tolerance, moderation, diversity, and pluralism which is the active seeking of understanding across lines of difference,   I wish to present to you very enlightening articles. Please read the articles in their entirety.  They suggest a reality that differs 180 degrees from the reality presented to a clueless, naive, gullible and unknowing audience by the organizations listed below. Thank you. 

  • PMW Bulletins - PMW  gives the world a precise understanding of the reality of the Palestinian Authority by translating, monitoring and analyzing the Palestinian Authority through its media and schoolbooks.PMW has presented its findings before members of US Congress and to members of Parliament in numerous countries 


Organizations promoting Interfaith Dialogue seeking and promoting an illusion of tolerance, moderation, diversity, and pluralism: 
_____________________________________________________
  • Americans for Peace Now invents right wing violence, labels Knesset bills to limit funding to NGO's that hurts Israel as antidemocratic, promotes the boycott of  Israeli products based on false claim of Israel's occupation of the Palestinians, full of lies and distortions of Torah, history and fact
  • Families of Abraham  presents Islam as a peaceful and tolerant religion when they are anything but (see above articles)
  • The Pluralism Project assumes one can engage those out for Israel's destruction with actively seeking understanding in dialogue and communication.
  • Clergy for Tolerance same as above
  • ILJB Institute for Living Judaism in Brooklyn features Koran Events 
    is a mini-series of classes on Islam and Judaism. classes taught by Jewish and Muslim scholars will explore some common religious rituals of the two faiths, their origins, meaning, variations in observance, etc. They present themselves as pluralistic but in the one event I attended they had full control of who speaks in their audience and what is said at their events by not allowing freedom of an attendee to express oneself.  Questions are  submitted on index cards and presented by their moderator and not by the one with the questions. There is no way to respond in debate mode to lies and distortions presented by the panelists. 
  • Global Jewish Muslim Alliance headed by Rabbi Marc Schneier, twins Mosques with Synagogues promoting an illusion of tolerance, moderation, diversity, and pluralism. Learn about the joint efforts to build a global movement of Jews and Muslims committed to communication, reconciliation and cooperation.This event kicks off the fourth Weekend of Twinning (Nov 18-20), an annual event in which mosques and synagogues, Jewish and Muslim students, young leadership and women's groups hold face-to-face encounters in cities around the globe to celebrate commonalities in the two faiths and undertake social action projects.Brief Biographies: Rabbi Marc Schneier is founding rabbi of the Hampton Synagogue and president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU).Imam Muhammad Shamsi Ali is spiritual leader of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York (96th Street Mosque), the largest and most influential mosque in New York City.Dr. Mehnaz Afridi is director of the Manhattan College Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center.
