Baruch Dayan HaEmet: Salomon Benzimra z"l


It is with great shock and utter sadness that we heard of the sudden
passing of Salomon Benzimra, who died from a heart attack on an El Al
flight from Israel back to Canada.
http://www.jewishpress.com/news/el-al-passenger-suffers-heart-attack-dies-in-flight/2016/03/16/

Salomon was a fervent lover of and fighter for Israel. Together with
Goldi Steiner, may she live a long and healthy life, he founded
Canadians for Israel's Legal Rights (CILR), comprising a group of
dedicated volunteers based in Toronto.

Just a few weeks ago we had been in touch with Salomon to discuss
questions some youth had asked us at a lecture we gave at a
pre-military academy about the decisions made at the San Remo
conference. We knew Salomon was the expert on that topic and he
immediately emailed us the detailed answer we needed.

CILR has published, in Kindle format, The Jewish People's Rights to
the Land of Israel by Salomon Benzimra. This e-book is available on
Amazon, and details the momentous decisions made at the 1920 San Remo
Conference after the Ottoman Empire lost all its territories in the
Middle East; decisions made in San Remo are crucial to understanding
the present situation in the Middle East. Although suitable for any
mature reader, the book was written specifically to prepare Jewish
high school students to defend themselves against the defamation, lies
and distortions about Israel that many face in university. The book is
fact-based and educational, not political, and it debunks the current
perception of Jewish Israelis as occupiers and settlers.

Women in Green sends its condolences to Salomon's family and friends.
May you be comforted in the building of Eretz Yisrael. Salomon's death
is a great loss not only to his family and friends but to all of Am
Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael.

We will continue what Salomon taught us over the years: to fight
fearlessly  for Israel's Rights to the Land of Israel.

San Remo: The Forgotten Milestone
By Salomon Benzimra, April 26th 2015

Ninety five years ago, prime ministers, ambassadors and other
dignitaries from Europe and America gathered in the Italian Riviera.
Journalists from around the world reported on the upcoming San Remo
Peace Conference and the great expectations the international
community placed on this event, just a year after the Paris Peace
Conference had settled the political map of Europe at the end of World
War One.

On Sunday, April 25, 1920, after hectic deliberation, the Supreme
Council of the Allied Powers (Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and
the U.S. acting as an observer) adopted the San Remo Resolution -- a
500 word document which defined the future political landscape of the
Middle East out of the defunct Ottoman Empire.

This Resolution led to the granting of three Mandates, as defined in
Article 22 of the 1919 Covenant of the League of Nations.  The future
states of Syria-Lebanon and Iraq emerged from two of these Mandates
and became exclusively Arab countries.  But in the third Mandate, the
Supreme Council recognized the "historical connection of the Jewish
people to Palestine and the grounds for reconstituting their national
home in that country" while safeguarding the "civil and religious
rights" of the non-Jewish population.

Subsequently, the British limited the Jewish Homeland in Palestine to
the area west of the Jordan River and allowed eastern Palestine to be
gradually administered by the Hashemites.  The territorial expansion
to the east eventually gave birth to the Kingdom of Transjordan, later
renamed Jordan in 1950.

The importance of the San Remo Conference with regard to Palestine
cannot be overstated:

For the first time in history, Palestine became a legal and political entity;
The Jewish people were recognized as the national beneficiary of the
trust granted to Britain in Palestine for the duration of the Mandate
-- a "sacred trust of civilization" as per the League Covenant;
The Balfour Declaration of 1917 -- which "viewed with favour" the
establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine -- was now to be
"put into effect"and thus became a binding act of international law;
The de jure sovereignty of Palestine was vested in the Jewish people,
though it was kept in abeyance until the Mandate expired in 1948;
The terms of the San Remo Resolution were included in the Treaty of
Sèvres and remained unchanged in the finally ratified Treaty of
Lausanne of 1923.
The Arabs received equivalent national rights in all the remaining
parts of the Middle East -- over 96% of the total area formerly
governed by the Ottoman Turks).

The San Remo Conference was hailed as a major historical milestone.
Celebrations were held throughout the world with tens of thousands of
people marching in London, New York and Toronto.  But the Arabs of
Palestine, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, were strongly opposed to any
form of national Jewish homeland: the first anti-Jewish riots erupted
in Jaffa just before the San Remo Conference convened -- a harbinger
of the violent Arab rejectionist stance that continues to threaten the
existence of Israel to this day.

While the Middle East peace process has been going on for over two
decades, it is astonishing that San Remo and the ensuing Mandate for
Palestine have hardly been mentioned.  Is it deliberate? Is it a mere
omission?  How could there be peace and reconciliation without
acknowledging fundamental historical and legal facts?

Middle-East diplomacy has often relied on "constructive ambiguity", a
concept earlier introduced by Henry Kissinger to keep the dialogue
open and avoid discussing core issues deemed problematic.  In the
ongoing peace process, the ambiguity of language did not produce
constructive results.  On the contrary, layer upon layer of
distortions and gross falsehoods piled up over the initial ambiguity
of "land for peace."

When the notion of "occupation" took root, it soon turned into
"illegal occupation", then "brutal oppression" and, finally,
"apartheid" which is a crime against humanity in international law.
Once corrupted language describes a distorted reality and the
distortion spreads, thought becomes corrupt and any resulting action
is bound to fail.

Commemorating the San Remo Conference should be more than a mere
remembrance. It enjoins us to consider the legal reach of the binding
decisions made in 1920 and to ensure that we do not entertain
incompatible positions when political expediency clashes with
unassailable rights enshrined in international law, namely the
acquired rights of the Jewish people in their ancestral land.  No
wonder the Palestinian Authority -- intent on eliminating the "Zionist
entity," as spelled out in the PLO Charter -- abhors the provisions of
the San Remo Resolution, which they view as the root of a catastrophe
engineered by "Zionist gangs."

In reality, the San Remo Resolution and the ensuing clauses of the
Mandate for Palestine are akin to a treaty entered into and executed
by each and every one of the 52 member states of the League of
Nations, in addition to the United States which is bound by a separate
treaty with Great Britain, ratified in 1925.

So next time you hear about the "occupation of the West Bank" and its
supposedly "illegal settlements" -- an almost daily occurrence in the
discourse of the Palestinian Arabs and their supporters -- you should
remember that this territory, as the rest of Israel, was lawfully
restored to the Jewish people in 1920 and its legal title has been
internationally guaranteed and never revoked ever since.  Any
negotiation toward achieving a lasting peace should be based on this
premise.

Last but not least, San Remo marks the end of the longest colonization
period in history. After 1,850 years of foreign occupation, oppression
and banishment by a succession of foreign powers (Romans, Byzantines,
Sassanid Persians, Arabs, Crusaders, Mameluks and Ottoman Turks), the
Nation of Israel was reborn in April 1920, thus paving the way for the
proclamation of the State of Israel 28 years later.  This liberation
from foreign rule should normally be celebrated by all the progressive
elites who have traditionally supported every national freedom
movement.  But it isn't so, for reasons that defy reason.

This article appeared in Hebrew in this Friday's Makor Rishon
(11/3/2016). Written by Ariel Kahana. Because of its utter importance
Women in Green had it translated. Translated by Sally Zahav.

A Critical Year of National Consciousness

Only with the arrival of 2017 will the Obama-Netanyahu quarrels, like
the one that happened this week over the cancelled meeting, come to an
end. But then the really difficult war will begin, the war over
national consciousness

"The past actually happened, history is what someone wrote down", the
American comedian Whitney Brown once said. This pithy saying exactly
describes the approaching critical year of national consciousness.
Even at the beginning of the year 2016, all eyes are already set on
2017. During that year Israel, the Palestinians and everyone who is
connected to the Jewish-Arab battle over the Land of Israel, will mark
the one-hundred-year anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, seventy
years of the partition, and fifty years since the Six Day War.

The battle over the world's memory regarding these points in time will
be almost as bitter and difficult as the wars that accompanied each
one of them. Palestinians and their supporters, including self-hating
Jews from Israel and the diaspora, have already begun preparations to
undermine our rights to the Land in general and to Judea and Samaria
in particular. Israel, perhaps thanks to a prime minister with an
especially developed historical awareness, has also begun positive
preparations. This is good.

Already during the last Jerusalem Day, the government determined that
a ministerial committee would begin planning celebrations for the
jubilee year of the city's unification. The task was assigned to
Minister Miri Regev and an inter-ministry committee was established,
headed by Managing Director of the Ministry of Culture and Sport,
Yossi Sharabi. On the next Jerusalem Day the government is expected to
approve the plan and the events themselves are already expected to
begin. Simultaneously, Minister of Education Bennett announced that
the academic year for 2017 will mark fifty years of the unification of
the eternal capital of the Jewish People.

However, neither Netanyahu nor Bennett took advantage of their
authority to sharpen the message which is no less important: the
jubilee year of the return of the Jewish People to the historical
tracts of the Land of Israel, meaning Judea and Samaria. One need not
be a rightist in order celebrate the miracle of this war of salvation,
and one need not be religious to claim that Elon-Moreh, Beit-El,
Beit-Lehem and Hevron are the cradle of the Jewish People's homeland.
There is, of course, a political dispute over the question of what to
do in these tracts of land today, and it is clear that the educational
system must not get involved in the bitter argument. But the past must
be told. If not, others will come and rewrite history, and actually,
they are already doing this.



The Palestinians have already succeeded for some time to penetrate the
international consciousness with the lie that they are an ancient
people that have, from time immemorial, lived in the land. They scream
"It is all mine", but are answered by our side with "okay, then we
will divide it" and not "It is all mine". It's no wonder that many
people, and not only the ignorant, are convinced that the State of
Israel arose on the ruins of the state of Palestine, even though such
a thing never existed.

Israel refrains from screaming about its fundamental rights in Judea
and Samaria. And as long as it continues to do so, Israel can expect
to suffer a crushing defeat in the battle for national consciousness
since her claims are not convincing. The Palestinians in 2017 will
scream "Fifty years of robbing us of our country and usurping our
lands". Israel, as it has through the years, will mumble that her
actions stem from security needs. That is, she will say implicitly
that the land indeed is Arab, but the occupation, the theft and the
usurpation, are done in the name of Israel's security. With such a
message as this it is impossible to win. Just as it is impossible to
settle in a neighbor's home just because he is an irksome nudnik, it
is also impossible to justify the theft of another people's land on
the grounds of national security. "Give them what is theirs, and solve
the security problems in another way", is the outsider's expected
response.

The Israeli hasbara system has not internalized this fundamental
point. In the opinion of the hasbara people, the claims of history and
rights are automatically connected to a contemporary political
solution.

Therefore, it is preferred to obscure the past. Instead of
differentiating between rights and an agreement that perhaps will
exist in the future, both are treated equally. This is analogical to a
lawyer not representing the reasons that the accused is not guilty
because of misgivings that the judge will not be convinced, which
might lead to him actually not being convinced. Like a dog that
returns to its vomit, Israel goes back to her futile security claims
and flees from the main question – the question of the right to the
Land.

The only one in the Israeli system that has understood this concept is
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely. She had some time ago already
formed a team and a plan to promote hasbara projects that emphaszie
Israel's rights in Judea and Samaria. The program includes a
presentation that will move throughout the country to tell of the
continuity of Jewish communities in the Land of Israel over the years,
film clips and hasbara dossiers in Hebrew and English. But in order to
implement it, the approval of the minister of the treasury, Moshe
Kahlon, is required. "The idea is to emphasize the message of
liberation and the return to the territories of the Land, rather than
the term "occupation", say those in Hotovely's office.  The Yesha
(Hebrew acronym for Judea, Samaria and Gaza) Council plans its own
celebrations to mark the jubilee year of the return of the Jewish
People to its historic inheritance. The question is why Prime Minister
Netanyahu and head of HaBayit HaYehudi Bennett, who are polished
public relations presenters and understand the matters at hand, stand
on the sidelines. Why do these two leaders not also initiate
celebrations and courses of action to send this essential message,
which they both know so well: the historical miracle of the return of
the Jewish People to the heart of its homeland.

Fwd: The Upcoming Big Chazaq Event

bs"d

The Big CHAZAQ Event is less than 3 weeks away!!! There is an early bird discount for 2 more days. Chazaq does amazing work so please support them. Visit them Online at www.CHAZAQ.org

 Flyer is attached, Groups can include Community members/students/teachers/staff, etc... 

Yaniv Meirov writes: feel free to call or email us with any questions or comments. Also please promote/spread the word about this event any way possible! Thank you very much!  Yaniv Meirov 917-617-3636  info@chazaq.org.


An Appeal to those on my list:
 
Chazaq has been there for the people of Gush Katif and were among the original supporters of the Gush Katif Museum.  Let us be preemptive and try to the best of our ability to prevent a similar tragedy, the expulsion of Jews in Judea and Samaria from happening! 
 

Please ask Chazaq to protest that Israel engages in Jewish Settler's administrative detention.
 

This form of arrest allows a military commander to put a person in prison without trial. The warrant is in force for six months, but can be renewed without limit. Every few months the prisoner must be brought before a regular judge, but judges interfere only on rare occasions. 
 

The prisoners have no right to see the evidence against them and confront their accusers, nor are they allowed to be represented by attorney. 
 

Please call or email Yaniv to ask CHAZAQ and the many Rabbanim affilitated with  CHAZAQ as well as the speakers for this BIG EVENT, Rabbi Charlie Harary and Rabbi Abraham Twerski  to publicly advocate for Judea and Samaria and the Hilltop Youth of Judea and Samaria. Please advocate for those either sitting in jail under administrative detention or under house arrest. 
 
Habeas corpus does not apply to them. 
 
Meir Ettinger, the grandson of the late Meir Kahana ob"m hy"d just had another 4 months of administrative detention extended to the already 6 months he has been sitting in isolation in a high security cell with his life threatened.  It is deja vu of what happened to his grandfather, Rabbi Meir Kahane ob"m hy"d  in 1980 when he too was placed under Administrative Detention.
Let us advocate for Jewish Teens and for Tzedeq, righteousness,  and Mishpat, justice,  for Elisha Odess and Amiram be Uliel sons of Rabbanim who come from upright Torah families. According to their family and lawyers, they were forced  under torture to confess falsely to the Duma arson and murder of a Palestinian family. Let us unite as One under one umbrella, Ultra Orthodox Jew, Nationalist Camp Jew and Secular Jew under the Torah. 
 

Let us join the hilltop youth in insisting that Jewish Law be applied in Eretz Yisroel.  Let us not be silent and let us protest a Judicial system that is biased against  Torah and against the Settlement of Judea and Samaria. This judiciary is biased against those who love the Land of Israel, the Torah and the people of Israel.  There are may factors why this is the case including severe pressure from the Obama Administration and from International powers like the UN and the EU to find "Jewish terrorists" even though there is no real evidence that they exist.  
 

Let us put an end to Motzei Shem Ra,  the slander against innocent and H-ly Jewish Neshomas once and for all.  
 
 
Please ask Yaniv that Chazaq speak up for Torah regarding our Biblical Heritage on behalf of Yehuda and Shomron in a way that challenges the 2 State Solution, peace process narrative.  
 

The heartland  of Israel was and will always be Judea and Samaria, the very places where our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob walked the Land and settled. It is clear from the Torah that it was in Judea and Samaria, where G-d made a Covenant with Jacob, and a Covenant with Isaac and a Covenant with Abraham. And G-d promised Moses that He will remember the Covenant He made with our forefathers as it says in Leviticus 26:42 ( http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/9927/jewish/Chapter-26.htm)
 

42 and I will remember My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I will remember. And I will remember the Land,
 
that even when Israel sins, G-d will remember the Covenant He made with our forefathers.
 
 מב וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב וְאַף אֶת בְּרִיתִי יִצְחָק וְאַף אֶת בְּרִיתִי אַבְרָהָם אֶזְכֹּר וְהָאָרֶץ אֶזְכֹּר:

How Israel should Negotiate with the Palestinians. The Art of Negotiation!

bs"d

Donald Trump prides himself in being an expert in the "art of negotiation" and making a deal.  There is much that we can learn from him. 

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, very honorable public servants in the United States Government, Presidential candidates and  phenomenal friends and defenders of Israel, but also opponents of Trump,  called Trump anti Israel. 

This does not necessarily mean that their assessment of Trump is accurate. 

Let us review what Donald Trump said:

"As president… there is nothing I would rather do than to bring peace to Israel and its neighbors generally," Trump responded. "I think it serves no purpose to say that you have a good guy and a bad guy. Now, I may not be successful in doing it, it's probably the toughest negotiation anywhere in the world of any kind. It doesn't help if I start saying I'm very pro-Israel."

Trump's two biggest Republican challengers, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, subsequently attacked Trump, with Rubio calling Trump's position "anti-Israel."
As far as I understand, Israel is also interested in a peace deal. I'm not saying I'll succeed, or even that an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is within reach, but I want to try. But in order for an agreement to happen, the Palestinians need to show interest. It's a little difficult to reach an agreement when the other side doesn't really want to talk to you.

So let's for a moment trust Trump when he says that he is a great supporter of Israel (even more that his opponents....a very hard feat to match...) How can we interpret his above statement? 

Trump wishes to be the Neutral negotiator.  

Therefore, it is up to each side to present their case and then there is give and take until a deal is reached. 

Israel has done extremely poorly when it comes to negotiating their position. They are greatly impeded by the Obama Administration and International players who are anti Israel. They have been bribed and/or blackmailed so as not to present their case in the fullest and best possible light or in Israel's best interest.   

The job of the neutral negotiator is to make sure that each side is heard.   Otherwise, by definition they are not neutral.  It is not the job of the neutral party negotiator to make sure that one side's position is stronger than the other's side nor is it their place to impede one of the sides from presenting their case in the best possible light. 

Trump would be the first to acknowledge that Israel needs to start the negotiation from a position of strength rather than from a position of weakness! He probably would say the same for the Palestinians.

How Israel should Negotiate her position:

If Israel is a Jewish State as it claims to be, it should negotiate as a Jewish State!  What is fundamental to Torah should dictate how Israel should Negotiate!

There is no way that we can negotiate away our Biblical Homeland, Since it is Divine Will that the Nation of Israel inherit the Land of Israel.  This is for everyone's benefit including the Palestinians. This is not a racist concept.  In the Temple Mount,  a similar phenomenon within the Nation of Israel.  The Israelites are allowed up to a certain point on the Mount. The Levites are allowed closer.  The Priests, the Koahanim can enter the Holy Section to do the Service and only the High Priest on Yom Kippur can enter the Holy of Holies.  In this way noone will die because they were overstepping their boundaries. 

So what is there to negotiate? 

 Lots!  Let's walk out of the box for a moment!

In the Bible,  the boundaries of  Israel were delineated in 2 separate place.  

The first place was Breishit 15:13-18 http://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day_cdo/aid/272527/jewish/Covenant-Between-the-Parts.htm



On the 15th of Nissan of the year 2018 from creation (1743 BCE) G-d forged a special covenant with Abraham in which the destiny of the Jewish people was foretold: the Holy Land was bequeathed to them as their eternal heritage, but first they would have to experience galut--exile and persecution. "And He said to Abram: 'Know surely that your descendants shall be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and they will be enslaved to them, and they will afflict them four hundred years... and afterwards they shall come out with great wealth.' And when the sun went down and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a burning torch which passed between those pieces... On that day G-d made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'To your seed I have given these land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates'" 
These boundaries are the boundaries of  greater Israel consistent with the boundaries in the 1920 Mandate of Palestine.   http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/mandate_for_palestine.htm

Israel can  negotiate from the greater boundaries that were assigned to Abram to the more limited boundaries commanded to Moshe Rabbeinu.   http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0434.htm#1 in Parshat Masei.

We must up our bar to the  "Mandate for Palestine" 1920 The Legal Aspects of Jewish Rights by Eli E. Hertz   http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/mandate_for_palestine.htm

The issue is not with Donald Trump. The gov't of Israel unfortunately has difficulty being a Jewish State. However, someone who seriously wants a Jewish State, must use the boundaries in the Bible as the absolute final word on up to which point we can negotiate. 

As Moshe Feiglin and many others suggest therefore, at this point in time,  Israel should seriously annex Judea and Samaria and then throw out the hate filled textbooks in the Palestinian territories, They should expel any individual or Palestinian family that clearly has a terrorist agenda against Israel.  

Ways for Israel to negotiate from a position of strength:

  • Israel is looking to expand it's borders consistent with the Covenant G-d gave to Abram.. until the Euphrates...
  • Israel wants Jews to have freedom  to practice their religion on Temple Mount. Freedom of Prayer and Freedom of Assembly.
  • Israel will close off water and electricity from Gaza if attacked from Gaza.
  • Israel  will Annex Judea Samaria and Israeli citizens will no longer be subjected to Martial Law under the Civilian Administration.
  • israel will build freely in Judea Samaria and give the Settlers the permits they need to grow and expand legally.  They will not allow illegal Arab Building.
  • BDS NGO's will be prosecuted
  • Checkpoints in Judea and Samaria targeting non Jewish residents will be standard practice so long as there is any hostile activity on behalf of the Palestinians such as rock throwing, molotov cocktails, shooting and the like....
  • Israel will do whatever it must to protect it's citizens from all Terror activity such as knives, car rammings etc. 
  • Terrorists who murder will receive the death penalty
  • Bodies of Terrorists will not be returned to the families but will be buried with pig skin. 
  • Israel will encourage all it's citizens to be armed to defend themselves against any hostile or acts of terror and will not prosecute nor persecuteJews who act in self defense. 
  • Israel will charge Palestinians for their electricity and water usage
  • Israel will tax all non Jewish Residents!
  • Israel will review all educational material of Palestinian territories to make sure they are not hate filled material against Israel and fire all "educators" of jihad. 
  • Israel will forbid all textbooks filled with hate ideology against Israel. 
  • Israel will Abolish Unrwa camps and crack down on all programming if they teach martyrdom against Israeli citizens.
  • Israel will throw out any MK's who are not loyal to Israel and who praise acts of terror against Israel
  • israel will demolish homes of terrorists 
  • If the family of terrorists glorifies acts of terror against Israel, Israel  will expel them from Israel.
  • Israel will stop illegal Arab building and expel squatters. 
  • Israel will abolish Adminsitrative Detention for Jews and Administrative Detention for non Jews will be under careful scrutiny to make sure it is not abused. 

Etc. Etc. 

Will the Palestinians adhere to Shemittah or other Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz Leqet Shikcha and Peah Teruma and Maasroth the Mitzvoth that bring holiness and sanctity to Eretz Yisroel?

All non Jewish Residents of Israel must accept Israel's Sovereignty and abide by the 7 Noahide Laws.

Any non Jewish Resident who accepts Israel's Sovereignty and abide's by the 7 Noahide Laws will have Civil rights for the Ger Toshav. . Israel will worry for their economic, educational and health welfare.  We wish to live in peace and mutual prosperity!

Playing the music!

The Nation of  Israel is like the violinist who is endowed with special talent.  The Land of Israel is like a precious violin. If you wish to create precious music for the world to enjoy you don't give the precious violin to someone who hates music.  You don't even put it into the museum for safeguarding.
