My Dear Fellow Activists for Israel, amv"sh
The White House number to call is 1-202-456-1111. Put it on your cell phone with a daily reminder. Then spread the word that America should be forced to explain why the USA failed to share with Israel crucial intelligence regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
That reflects a USA betrayal to Israel rather than disloyalty of Jonathan Pollard to America.
Please read on for the bigger picture...
Jonathan Pollard shared military intelligence regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) with Israel only after America who was supposed to share such info with Israel failed to do so. Jonathan Pollard shared intelligence to Israel about a chemical weapons plant in Samarra, Iraq.
According to this Worldnetdaily Exclusive News Analysis:
Did U.S. give WMD to Saddam Hussein?
Case of Jonathan Pollard raises troubling questions
www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=84195 ,
In the above post, Phd Richard Cummings describes how Casper Weinberger then Secretary of Defense had assured the Israeli's that nothing was going on when the Israeli's approached him regarding what they considered suspicious in Samarra, Iraq.
Pollard asked his superior officers at the Naval Academy why the U.S. was not supplying Israel with this intelligence. Apparently to no avail. It was only at this point that Jonathan Pollard decided to spy for Israel and offered Israel proof, military intelligence, that indeed it was a chemical weapons plant, and that Bechtel a giant American Construction company was facilitating the construction of the plant through a number of different companies. The firms were
camouflaging it as a "dual-use facility that could be explained away as a
fertilizer plant.".The weapons were deemed necessary for Saddam to use against Iran, the home of the Islamic revolution. Apparently the U.S. felt that empowering Saddam Hussein a ruthless dictator with WMD, at Israel's expense, was justified in order to destroy other forces of evil.
At that time, Jonathan Pollard made a moral judgment call and ANSWERED TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY. Everyone agrees that he did not become a spy to Israel because of personal monetary gain!
Let us imagine the following scenario. If IRAQ who openly expressed interest in annihilating Israel had used their chemical weapons plant against Israel, and a catastrophe of major proportions would have happened, then Jonathan Pollard would have had to live with a life sentence in his conscience far worse than the life sentence he is presently enduring.
Before judging Jonathan Pollard, let us consider the following. If prior to the World Trade Center attack, an ally nation of the USA would have had intelligence of this evil plan and failed to share it, wouldn't we have held them indirectly responsible for the thousands of lives lost, property damage and indescribable grief at the horrific tragedy of 911? Look at the extensive damage caused from just some airplanes. Now imagine the potential damage to Israel from Weapons of Mass Destruction coming from Iraq..
Our campaign to free Pollard should not focus on apologizing why Jonathan Pollard acted as he did but rather why did AMERICA put Jonathan Pollard into this moral dilemma?????
Furthermore, is America once again using Israel as they are doing for Jonathan Pollard as their negotiating pawn, merely a bargaining chip in their Mideast diplomacy? Don't they know that FATAH is interested in annihilating Israel? Still they promote a 2 State Solution, empowering Fatah which is putting Israel in grave danger?
Let President Bush use this opportunity to grant clemency to Jonathan Pollard and his legacy will remember him kindly for this action.
Otherwise, history will prove that once again President Bush has sold Israel away to her enemies for his foreign interests in oil producing countries.
What is the result of actions that put Israel into dangers? These "moderate" Islamic governed countries see our "gestures of peace" which come at the expense of Israel's security, as a sign of weakness in America's fight against terror. This in turn strengthens Islamic Fascism and empowers terrorism and the axis of evil.
The White House number to call is 1-202-456-1111. Put it on your cell phone with a daily reminder.
And as much as we don't want to know the gritty details about what happened to Jonathan Pollard in prison, we must raise our consciousness in order to prevent such tragedies to continue. Our Jewish leaders who have taken it upon themselves to act on behalf of Jonathan Pollard have chosen to do so under this veil of silent diplomacy. I am referring to Malcolm Hoenlein of Conference of Presidents, Rabbi Pesach Lerner of National Council of Young Israel and David Zweibel of Agudath Yisroel of America. But this has been going on for the past 23 years. There are 7 days left to Bush's administration. Maybe Silent Diplomacy is just not working? And we thought that torture was only reserved for the Islamic terrorists of Mumbai lehavdil..
Pollard: I was tortured in prison

Comments and Response to Rafi to the previous post regarding police force teenager in the violation of Shabbat.
bs"d
Dear Rafi, amv'sh
A beautiful letter from you! Thank you for writing and for your previous letter with recommendations of contacts. Thank you so much for mentioning it again.
My purpose was not to greater the divide between religious and non religious. It wasn't merely to vent. I don't usually resort to such language.
The purpose of writing so harshly is because I am hoping that the negative press would reach the parties in the gov't of Israel who are openly defying Torah and G-d's law to fight the settlers.
It was also to educate those on the left, religious and not religious, who actually agree with the gov't's approach, to see that the tactics have just gone too far. The vulgar language somehow shocks them into seeing that we too can fight back when pushed.
It's also important to the naive supporters on the right to understand what tactics the gov't are willing to take if left unchecked. Many on the right are still naive thinking that the gov't would not stoop so low as to use that which is most precious to them. They must be prepared for what awaits them G-d forbid and prepare accordingly.
The publication has been in my heart and in my mind. I'm afraid not much more. I spoke with someone in my neighborhood who wants to help but only with material that was non confrontational, Diplomacy as he put it. I understand and agree with his points up to a point. The points you mention below have strong validity.
I decided to focus on source material that is primarily references from Tanach, Rishonim, Achronim, Lubavitch Rebbe, modern day Rabbanim such as Rabbi Algaze etc and modern day history such as Balfour Declaration, Conference of Remo which gives us the sources for our entitlement of our Land from the Torah and International Law.
So I spent an entire night trying to download indesign from Adobe and was not successful. Perhaps my computer does not have enough memory. Then I spent the next few nights catching up on sleep.
I feel that we need a combination of "Diplomacy" non negative media imbued with the spirit of Calev ben Yefuneh and Yehoshua bin Nun, as well as different material that will expose the Jewish leadership for following the footsteps of the Spies of the desert and steer them in the direction towards Eretz Yisroel. The purpose of the negative material would be so that it acts like a vaccination. A little bit of Lashon Hara to prevent the greater sin of Lashon Hara of the Spies. (Lashon Hara is permitted when it is in order to prevent future harm to others)
I also was thinking that If I can show in some other publication, that there is no one group that has a monopoly on the Torah (the secular Zionists have a love of Eretz Yisroel and the Chareidim have a love of different Mitzvoth in the Torah) this will ultimately unite us.
What is unique about my approach is that there is practically no group that I have not been critical of. If I were to write about myself, trust me, I would find plenty of negative things to write about as well.
What will unite Am Yisroel is that we are all human and have our weaknesses. We also have our strengths. I have been quite harsh against the right including Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah, OU, Young Israel, Aish Hatorah, Manhigut Yehudit, the Hebron Fund and the Hebron community and even the leaders and communities of Gush Katif. (and I see them all by far as much more worthy than myself). Each and every group has been upset with me each for their own reason. I am hoping that when they see I attack everyone equally, that they will see that indeed they are in excellent company and hopefully will somehow forgive me.
G-d expects from us almost the impossible. We must put our complete faith and trust in Him alone and on each other and disregard where our present source of income, our bread and butter is coming from. It is nothing short of revolutionary.
I am afraid that an economic collapse will trigger just that but it could be prevented if we are proactive in joining together to assert our entitlement for Eretz Yisroel and our yearning for Torah and Mitzvoth especially in Eretz Yisroel.
We get the Jewish Voice from NY. Publisher David Ben Hooren. Editor in Chief Avi Ben Mordechai. It had a very positive cover page article/interview with Feiglin .
I thought that this was the Voices that you suggested. But when I went back to your email I realized that it was a totally different Voices.
On a superficial glance the Voices, editor Sharon Katz is very upbeat but too naive. (btw I just subscribed). Too upbeat. For example, they celebrate Israel's 60 year anniversary. To me that's like celebrating the anniversary of a spouse that wishes to commit homicide and suicide.
Paul Eidelberg in his last email seemed to hit the nail on the head (I just emailed it to you and posted it). The origin of the State of Israel has a flaw (secular Zionism) that is now turning into a crack.
The Torah has been the basis for the modern day Republic and democracy too has roots in Torah. Yet if one dares to suggest that Torah should be the basis of the government of Eretz Yisroel one is labeled radical, messianic and extremist.
We are in a war that we did not choose. It is a religious War. The time has come to recognize our religion and that is why I put an emphasis on calling upon the Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah to stop hiding behind their silence.
Our job is to introduce Torah, Torah Shebichtav and a Sanhedrin, the Torah Shebaal Peh into a philosophical and intellectual discussion for a working and operational government in Eretz Yisroel. Discussions on Halacha and Torah Shebaal Peh are necessary and of course welcome as long as one recognizes that there is room for differences of opinion when it comes to Halacha. Ideally there would be a Sanhedrin that would be assigned to determine the law of the Land but allows for Hillels and Shamais who love and respect each other. (no religious coercion on items such as wearing pants or separate seating concerts)
Our belief in Hashem, and the Torah is our common denominator. Torah is relevant. Torah is politically correct. Only Torah can unite all people and all nations and this is not a naive statement. It is EMES and it requires intellectual honesty in the reading the words and interpreting the words of our Torah. .
When we unite in our desire to keep the Torah and the Mitzvoth the Nations of the world will say "Am Chacham Venavon"!
Sincerely, Robin

Dear Robin,
I know the overall situation is grim and that things that are done by the authorities are often more than infuriating. So it's natural to give vent to our feelings, and the electronic mail is a great way of letting lose against those we deem to be harming the Jewish people.
And even if you absolutely correct in every statement you make, (or was it someone else who wrote this mail) and even if all the facts that are mentioned are absolutely as they were without any hyperbole, the question is: who is getting your mails and what do they accomplish?
I would guess that most of the recipients of your mails are people who fully support the settlers in Judea and Samaria, as I do. And many probably send these mails to their contacts, who are probably mostly of a similar disposition. I would guess that very few of the people who are indifferent to the situation of the Jews of "Yesha" or even antagonistic to them, receive your mails.
So what does this mail do for Israel and the Jewish people? I think it must stoke more anger on the part of people who get them. Resentment, frustration, a feeling of betrayal, abandonment, a wish to retaliate and more really negative feelings … towards other Jews.
Israel is badly split along a number of fault lines. Religiously – among the various religious groups themselves and vis a vis the hilonim; politically – even within parties; ashkenazim and sephardim – although gratifyingly this split is less pronounced than before; rich/poor; left wing against right wing against center; retaliate strongly and to hell with what the consequences will be vis a vis caution; etc etc.
And more than ever before we need unity and understanding among ourselves. We need to foster mutual respect and morale. We need to encourage meaningful debate dafka with people with whom we are in disagreement. Meanwhile the disunity in the nation is getting worse and worse and we will not survive like this.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't relate to what's happening to the Jews of Yesha and Israel's lack lustre performance against our would-be destroyers. But please consider the effect of your words. Do they heal, strengthen, inform accurately; do they generate understanding from the other side and to the other side? Do they strengthen Israel and the Jewish people? If your words do all these things that's great. But they might actually contribute further to the disunity and weakening of our nation. And I would imagine that that's not what you want.
By the way, have you progressed with your idea of a publication? Did you get my mail with a few leads which I sent you a few weeks ago? I spent quite a lot of time trying to contact old leads and talking to people. It would be nice to know that you got my e-mail.
Yours,

"You Can't Make A Crooked Line Straight"*
Prof. Paul Eidelberg
The Sages say, "You can't make a crooked line straight." This prompted the present writer to warn a reputedly right-minded organization against joining the Likud Party some ten years ago. This was before 23 Likud MKs betrayed the nation by voting for "unilateral disengagement" from Gaza in 2004—a policy rejected by a vast majority of the public in the 2003 election.
The Likud government's expulsion of Gaza's 8,000 Jewish residents was called a crime by Professor Benzion Netanyahu. He said this despite the fact that his son Binyamin was a minister in that government. The same crime would be re-enacted if Dan Meridor, who recently rejoined the Likud, prevails in a projected Likud-led government to yield the Golan Heights to Syria.
But what is there about the Likud that prompts the title of this article? To answer this question, I turn to Israel's first and illustrious Chief Rabbi, Abraham Isaac Hakohen Kook.
The Likud is rooted in secular Zionism, in Theodor Herzl's tract The Jewish State. Herzl severed Judaism from public law and relegated the Torah to the home and the synagogue.
Rav Kook rejected secular Zionism as a travesty of Jewish nationalism. He was also critical of the Mizrachi, the forerunner of the National Religious Party, which, while emphasizing its religious activity within the Zionist movement, failed to challenge the secularist character of that movement. It's not enough for religionists to join a secular party; they must relentlessly criticize its transgressions of the Torah. The Rav does not suggest a time limit for collaborating with a party that violates, for example, the Sabbath, but we may reasonably assume that remaining in such a party, when an alternative is available, would have met with his firm disapproval.
Because the Mizrachi failed to be a source of constant intellectual ferment in the Zionist movement, Zionism was dominated by practical atheists. Rav Kook discerned its superficiality. This atheism, he saw, was largely the result of corruption of the Catholic Church on the one hand, and of the lack of Jewish philosophy on the other—a philosophy based not on Aristotelian or Kantian concepts, but on concepts drawn from the Torah.
According to Rav Kook, the atheism that dominated Zionism was primarily a failure of the intellect, and not of the heart. The Rav, who was a philosopher as well as a Kabbalist, has been called the Jewish Nietzsche. Like Nietzsche, he rejected antinomies. He boldly declared that that atheism served a positive function, to rid Judaism of the dregs it had accumulated in the Diaspora, the better to articulate the philosophy underlying the Torah.
Writing to Rabbi Meir Berlin, the great Mizrachi leader, Rav Kook denounced as disgraceful a Zionist declaration that religion is totally irrelevant to Zionism. For the Mizrachi to be silent or compromise in such matters would reflect mental impotence and render Mizrachi incapable of triumph in so dynamic an enterprise as Israel's national regeneration.
He urged Rav Berlin, "Let us brace our mind with forthright, original and firm principles whose vibrancy will illuminate the current national aspiration's Divine source that impregnates God's People with new life."
The task of articulating a Jewish philosophy to inspire and guide Israel's renaissance seems to be beyond the intellectual capacity of the religious parties or their leaders. The Rav saw that the masses were throbbing with untapped vitality. Needed was a religious appeal to their hearts and a set of principles and institutions to consolidate their vitality. We look in vain for a party in the Knesset equal to this task. Although Rav Kook saw a holy aspect of Zionism, he saw that the Zionist state as conceived by secular Zionists "tarnished our rebirth."
Hence, it is utterly naïve to believe that the Likud or any secular party can make a crooked line straight. The same may be said of their religious counterparts. The leaders of the religious parties have yet to offer the Jewish people a practical alternative to what is now crystal clear: the decadence of both secular and religious Zionism.
Stated another way, the Zionism that founded the State of Israel is dead. And there is not a single party in the Knesset, or vying for a place in Knesset, that shows signs of possessing the intellectual capacity to articulate a new Jewish national philosophy that can unite and inspire the people of Israel.
Is this a counsel of despair? No. To inspire our people, we need to clear away the rotting foundations of the State of Israel. Without denying its positive accomplishments, this state is based on an oxymoron, namely, the very title of Herzl's book, The Jewish State. Needed, to begin with, is conceptual therapy.
When we utter the word "state," we have in mind the "sovereign state" whose laws are binding on all residents of a nation. In Judaism, however, the laws of God are higher than the laws of the state. The American Declaration of Independence affirms this original Jewish idea. The Declaration affirms that above the laws of the state—of kings and parliaments—are the "laws of nature and of nature's God." The idea of the "Jewish State" is a contradiction in terms.
This contradiction is compounded when one calls Israel a "democracy." For, whereas the term "democracy" literally means the "rule of the people" or popular sovereignty, the Torah proclaims the sovereignty of God.
Former Supreme Court president Aharon Barak has thoroughly confused the issue. He repeatedly calls Israel a democratic and Jewish State; yet he proclaimed the despotic dictum that "everything is justiciable" in this supposedly democratic Jewish state. The Talmudic dictum, "you can't make a crooked line straight," applies ten-fold to Israel.
These oxymoronic concepts confuse public discourse. They corrupt the rulings of the Judiciary, the laws enacted by the Knesset, and the decisions of the Government. Nevertheless, while this cognitive dissonance confuses, divides, and degrades the people of Israel, we look in vain for any political or religious party that has the intellectual capacity and moral courage to address this impossible discord on any public forum.
There are, of course, individuals, religious as well as secular, that profit from this discordance. They may privately admit that Israel has a dysfunctional system of governance. They may even have a website that proposes institutional reform. But they persist is referring to Israel as a "Jewish state" or as a "democracy," and hell will freeze over before they admit Israel is in need of "regime change"—despite the Winograd Report of the ineptitude of the government in the Second Lebanon War, and the absurd delay in replacing its shameless prime minister.
Calling for "regime change" requires the articulation of a Jewish philosophy. It requires philosophic statesmen comparable to James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, the authors of The Federalist Papers. Israel has no such leaders. We have only politicians who can hardly comprehend the wisdom of those Americans, let alone adapt their wisdom to conditions in Israel.
The primary preoccupation of Israeli politicians is to win a seat in the Knesset. But since they could not win, say 30,000 votes, in a single regional electoral district composed of diverse ethnic, religious, and ideological groups, they perpetuate the existing system, where their party slates compete for votes on a national list via proportional representation. A clever way of obscuring their shortcomings.
The mere fact that some 30 parties compete in an election illustrates the paltriness of Israel's political system, and why so many Lilliputian politicians speak of "vision." The religious parties say nothing about the crass materialism of the secular parties. And if any speaks of "Jewish identity"—well, even many secularists affirm a need for Jewish identity. More "spin."
According to some studies, the vast majority of the people in this country know that the entire system of governance is rotten. Yet no political party calls for regime change. Of course, there is a war on, and this complicates matters. But the Government and the Supreme Court behave as if there is no war—despite 7,000 Arab missiles having fallen on Sderot during the past eight years! Neither the Government nor the Supreme Court give a hoot about the Jewish people and about Israel's incomparable religious heritage. Zionism and Israel's system of governance have emasculated the people, have virtually disenfranchised them. The Jewish democratic State of Israel is inexorably oxymoronic.
You can't make a crooked line straight.

Aish, With 260,000 subscribers why do you not speak out for our Covenant...
bs"d
With 260,000 subscribers why do you not speak out for our Covenant and our entitlement to Yehuda and the Shomron and Har Habayit. Is the miracle of Chanukah all lip service. We have Har Habayit yet we accept the fact that it's just tourist attraction. Ki Beiti Beit Tefillah, yet today one is arrested for davening on Har Habayit.
Jews were thrown out of Gush Katif. How many Mitzvoth D'Orayta were violated. Every day Kassam are slamming into southern Israel yet Aish amazingly turns a blind eye. Yehuda and Shomron is threatened with expulsion. A Fatah/Hamas state will soon be in our midst if we continue to be silent. You saw what happened in Mumbai. Do you think they will be gentle to an Aish family because you did not expose Fatah, our "partners in peace", rejoicers of the Mercaz Harav massacre for whom they are? It didn't help the Satmar chasid in Mumbai.
An Iowa judge does not let a Jew out on bail because of the Right of Return. So this poor Jew has to be in jail in America w/o bail because he might "consider" going to Eretz Yisroel. Sure they can put an anklet bracelet monitor on him like they do to the Jews in administrative detention from Yehudah and the Shomron but the judge in Iowa didn't even accept that as a deterrent.
If a Palestinian State happens chas veshalom, hundreds of thousands of Jews lives will be in danger in Eretz Yisroel from a regime that has its roots with Islamic Fascism, the Mufti of Jerusalem a Partner to Hitler Yemach Shemo! The Jews in the Diaspora may not have a refuge if one day they wake up and decide they perhaps they do want to go to Israel since life in the USA is not as comfortable as it once was.
Go to the Ger Rebbe and show him all the material that is out there. Show him John Voight's recent utube. Tell him that he, the Ger Rebbe together with Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah is holding up and neutralizing activism on the part of hundreds of thousands of caring Jews in America who listen to Agudath Yisroel of America and Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah, and read the Yated and Hamodia and follow their cue. The Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah can mobilize their chasidim and baale batim and yeshivish younga leit asking them to express yearning and to speak out for our entitlement of Eretz Yisroel. They have the network and the databases. You have the email lists.
And if the Ger Rebbe refuses to see that there is a problem with the ongoing Peace talks and ignores that the facts are being established on the ground at an alarming rate to actualize the establishment of a Palestinian State, then Aish has the responsibility to its 260,000 subscribers to speak up. The Ger Rebbe and Rav Shteinman will then have to agree publicly which they obviously believe privately because to disagree would be an annulment of our Torah.

If a Palestinian State happens chas veshalom, hundreds of thousands of Jews lives will be in danger in Eretz Yisroel from a regime that has its roots with Islamic Fascism, the Mufti of Jerusalem a Partner to Hitler Yemach Shemo! The Jews in the Diaspora may not have a refuge if one day they wake up and decide they perhaps they do want to go to Israel since life in the USA is not as comfortable as it once was.
Go to the Ger Rebbe and show him all the material that is out there. Show him John Voight's recent utube. Tell him that he, the Ger Rebbe together with Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah is holding up and neutralizing activism on the part of hundreds of thousands of caring Jews in America who listen to Agudath Yisroel of America and Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah, and read the Yated and Hamodia and follow their cue. The Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah can mobilize their chasidim and baale batim and yeshivish younga leit asking them to express yearning and to speak out for our entitlement of Eretz Yisroel. They have the network and the databases. You have the email lists.
And if the Ger Rebbe refuses to see that there is a problem with the ongoing Peace talks and ignores that the facts are being established on the ground at an alarming rate to actualize the establishment of a Palestinian State, then Aish has the responsibility to its 260,000 subscribers to speak up. The Ger Rebbe and Rav Shteinman will then have to agree publicly which they obviously believe privately because to disagree would be an annulment of our Torah.

Dear fellow activists, amv"sh
Happy Chanukah!
As you know the miracle of Chanukah is celebrated because of the re dedication of the Temple by the pure jug of oil with the seal of the Kohen Gadol, the high priest. Maybe we can show how relevant the miracle of Chanukah is by showing our yearning for the Temple in its glory as a House of Prayer and not simply as a tourist attraction. Robin

Sickening- Israeli police force West Bank teenager to drive on Sabbath - held for post-Sabbath interrogation
bs"d
I don't know if this kid was Shomer Shabbat but if he was, chances are he was not carrying a cell phone on him and there was no way to alert friends and family about his arrest on Shabbat. Chances are his family and friends were not calling anyone either because of Shabbat.
This gov't will use every weapon at its disposal (and it need not be a gun) against the settlers.
They have consistently taken advantage of the tzniut of religious young girls and women and purposely put them in a situation to compromise their religious codes of modesty when they dare to assert our rights to Eretz Yisroel. For example the girls that were imprisoned and subjected to strip searches for their refusal to recognize the Israeli Court System which has a proven bias against the settlers.
It is clear from Amona and from the expulsion of Beit Hashalom that they sent men Yassam guys to physically carry out the women in a most brutal fashion. It's quite obvious from the videos.
Elisheva Federman was forced to remove her headcovering for DNA samples after they destroyed her home and assaulted her husband and kids for allegingly kicking the police officer. I would have loved to see their proof on that one. It for sure would have shown who the real criminals were.
Now they use Shabbat to their advantage to arrest teenagers whose crime is love of Eretz Yisroel. Just disgusting.
I think I want to puke. And they call these kids lawbreakers??????
I suppose they don't feel that they have to answer to a higher authority.

ISRAELI POLICE ARREST YOUTH AND FORCE THEM TO PROFANE SABBATH
www.israeljustice.com/news2.asp?key=155
Date added: 12/20/2008
JERUSALEM -- In the latest crackdown on West Bank Jews, Israeli police
arrested a teenager and forced him to profane the Sabbath as part of a
campaign to roundup and investigate youth who protest against the
government.
"Plain-clothed detectives came from behind and arrested me at 9.30 on
Shabbat [the Sabbath] morning," the youth said. "They took me to the police
station and held me until the end of Shabbat. They wanted to keep me until
the investigation on Sunday but then they released me."
The youth said he was arrested at the Netzer outpost, located in the
Etzion bloc of Jewish communities, and forced to ride in a police car to the
police station at the Etzion junction, despite the fact that he would only
be investigated by a detective who was off-duty on Saturday.
"They follow us and monitor our cell phones," he said. "They wanted to
hold me another day until the detective arrives from Hebron but then they
released me."
The teenager said the police are looking to roundup and investigate
teenagers who protested against the violent police eviction of about 200
Jews from the Peace House in Hebron on Dec. 4, during which 25 people were
injured.
The police crackdown on Jewish dissidents comes in the wake of a pledge
by Defense Minister Ehud Barak to impose harsher punishments against 300,000
Jews in the West Bank.
"We must be more severe in punishments meted out to lawbreakers in Judea
and Samaria," Barak said during the cabinet meeting on Dec. 14.
At least 30 people have since been arrested for blocking roads in Judea
and Samaria to protest the eviction in Hebron, about twenty teenagers were
arrested during the eviction and it its aftermath and administrative
expulsion orders forcing residents from their homes in Judea and Samaria
have been issued.

Madoff vs. Rubashkin: A Miscarriage of Justice! A Message from Hashem?
bs"d
Aren't both Madoff and Rubashkin Jews? Can we claim it's antisemitism against the Jew?
I believe that G-d is trying to send a message to us Jews. I believe the message to be as follows:
You Am Yisroel, my dear people, the apple of my eye, my chosen nation, are willing to give away Eretz Yisroel. Since 2002 there are talks of a Palestinian State in the heart of Eretz Yisroel. Aside from a small minority, there is barely a cry of protest. Why the complacency among the Jewish people regarding their birthright? Why are you so willing to free yourselves of Eretz Yisroel and all of the obligations that are associated with living a Jewish life in Eretz Yisroel.
So Hashem comes up with a way to wake us up and make all the headlines in all the newspapers. Hashem puts it into the mind of some Iowa Judge to come up with this totally out of the ballpark decision to insist that Rubashkin can not leave on bail because of the Right of Return.
Now all of Am Yisroel, feels what it's like when we are told that we are not allowed to go to Eretz Yisroel and even worse, we will be held in prison in America so that there is absolutely no chance that we can go to Eretz Yisroel. Up to this point we all had a chance, with Law of Return to return to Eretz Yisroel, to keep the Mitzvoth of Eretz Yisroel, to actualize the Tefillot of Pesukei D'Zimra, Shema and Shmoneh Esrah. Yet we offer lipservice and disregarard all the blatant miracles that Hashem sent our way.
But it is still not too late! I propose that in response to the judgement in IOWA each and every Jew would declare their personal entitlement, and their love and yearning for the Holy Land, the Land of Israel (note, not the Land of Palestine!). I believe that only this will change the mind of the judge and will get Rubashkin out w/o even paying enormous sums of money. Let all the money spent on legal fees be instead directed to helping the Jews of Yehuda and the Shomron to keep their houses and to stop an expulsion far greater than Gush Katif.
We are a Mamlechet Kohanim VeGoy Kadosh. We are a Kingdom of Priests for the Nations of the World and our Holy Service will serve to benefit mankind! In this world of Global economy, let us get on the bandwagon and declare that America and all the Nations of the World is linked to Jerusalem. We are presently fighting a religious war not to our choosing. We must fight for our survival whether or not we want to. The way to fight is to have Hashem on our side by showing Him that we love and desire the Torah and His precious gift to us Eretz Yisroel.
Israel desires peace and prosperity for Mankind. Our enemies desire the opposite.
If Rubashkin, in a just court of Law, is proven guilty of criminal or civil offenses then the Jews themselves would welcome a fair and honest judgement and rectification of the grievences. In fact they would become a role model in the proper way to conduct business since it is their desire to do so.
But the facts on the ground show that what is happening is being driven from up in heaven and it is our job to see the greater picture and respond accordingly.
If we go with happenstance (keri) then G-d too will go with happenstance.

RE:
YWN Editorial: A Miscarriage of Justice!
As the mind boggling details of the biggest financial swindle in history continue to unfold, we learn today that the alleged perpetrator, Bernard Madoff has been granted conditional bail by a NY Judge.
The judge in the fraud case has set new conditions for his bail, including a curfew and ankle-monitoring bracelet for the disgraced investor.
Madoff remains free on bail, with his wife and brother serving as co-signers for his bail package. A hearing had been scheduled for Wednesday in which Madoff was required to find two additional co-signers to vouch for him.
Ý
For those following another case close to home, Shlomo Rubashkin of Agriprocessors fame is still languishing in jail unable to convince an "impartial? judge to grant him bail. A hundred co-signers would step forward in a minute and dozens of friends and family have already offered their homes as collateral in return for Rubashkin's release. The Judge has so far deemed Rubashkin a flight risk for his potential misuse of the "right of return law? an Israeli law granted to any Jew who wishes to immigrate to Israel. This inexplicable ruling has never been used in such settings according to legal observers.
Ý
Rubashkin's legal team (reported here) had repeatedly offered an overwhelming bail conditions package to convince the judge, including 24 hour armed guards with arresting capabilities, ankle bracelet monitoring, and significant financial guarantees to ensure Rubashkin remains in the States, but to no avail. Many in the legal community have expressed their worst fears that this unprecedented mis-application of the "right of return law? against a Jewish defendant, originally designed to protect the life of the persecuted, is now being used by a Judge as a means to deny a Jew their legal rights under the US constitution. We at YWN believe this may be the worst form of reverse discrimination we¥ve ever seen.
Ý
Let us understand what is happening here in the United States of America in the year 2008.
It appears, one Mr. Madoff the architect of the scheme that has financially ruined hundreds of families and has potentially wiped out numerous not -for- profit's has been set free conditionally, while the same purported legal justice system albeit in Iowa, refuses to allow bail to a identifiably religious defendant in a far less destructive legal entanglement. It appears Madoffs swindle is so huge it makes the Enron heist look like child¥s play. Why the double standard?
Is Rubashkin being held to the highest unattainable standard to use him as an example?
The misuse of legal authority and the miscarriage of justice is simply too stark to ignore.
Where is the outrage from our community?
How can American Jurist Prudence be so starkly different in Iowa vs. NY?
Ý
YWN calls on the entire Jewish community to create a firestorm of support for the terrible situation the Rubashkin family finds themselves in.
We do not cast judgment for or against in the Postville case, that is for the courts to decide. However, on the merits of the case and with compassion, we simply call on reasonable people of mercy and honor, to protest the flagrant abuse of power currently being imposed in Iowa. Irrefutable history hasÝ show, thatÝ accused murderers, rapists and thieves received bail for far worse heinous crimes. It is outrageous and un- American to deny Shlomo Rubashkin his legal right of bail simply because of his religion. Free Rubashkin.

Aish Chanukah film. Will Aish be the Macabeem of Today?

My comment:
Truly inspiring but what is Aish doing to be the Macabeem of Today?
Does Aish speak out for our entitlement of Eretz Yisroel and against the formation of a Palestinian State.
Can't we see a clear connection, cause and effect, between Israel giving away our Land, and releasing terrorists to our enemies in the name of "peace" and precisely all the tragic scenes in your short inspiring Chanukah film?
If we go with happenstance (keri) with Hashem then He will go with happenstance with us.
Ait Laasot LaHashem Hefeiru Toratecha.
Will AISH proudly SPEAK OUT for our Covenant? If we remain silent at Annapolis resolutions or UN resolutions of today or since 2002 when there is discussion of a Roadmap that contradicts the Torah Roadmap, won't that be interpreted by the world that we are rejecting our birthright c"v?
Biblical References:
Vayikra 26 Pasuk (42) "Vezacharti as Brisi Yaakov, Veaf as Brisi Yitzchok, Veaf es Brisi Avraham Ezkor, Vehaaretz Ezkor". I will remember My Covenant with Jacob and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the Land. (43)The Land will be bereft of them; and it will be appeased for its sabbaticals having become desolate of them; and they must gain appeasement for their iniquity, because they were revolted by My ordinances and because their spirit rejected My decrees.
When we agree to give away Judea and Samaria we also forego any possibility of observing the Shemittah or the rest of the commandments dependant on the Land. Are we only too willing to part with our Land thinking that we are then released from our burdens (Ol Mitzvoth)? Is our burning desire to be like all other Nations, our new religion? Where is the cry "THIS IS OUR LAND"?
The Covenant of Yaakov is in Breishis Perek 28 Pasukim 13-16. The Covenant to Yitzchok is Breishis Perek 26 Pesukim 2-6. The Covenant with Avraham is Breishis Perek 15 Pesukim 18-21.
The Covenants and promises to the forefathers share three points. 1. Land is promised to them and to their children afterwords 2. The Nations of the world are blessed through them and 3. the children must keep the commandments in order to be worthy of the Land.
Why do we tolerate headlines reading "Hebron Rioters Inspired by Radical Settler Leaders". Settlers are depicted as unlawful, occupiers and stealing Arab property, radical. Did Aish come to the defense of the Hebron community, expressing our entitlement for Beit Hashalom, or did Aish comment with disgust at the cruel illegal destruction of the Federman and Tor homes, or did AISH even know about the illegal prosecution and imprisonment of residents of the hilltop settlements such as Asael whose only crime is self defense?
The Torah in Nitzavim Perek 29 Pasuk 23 says And all the nations will say, "For what reason did Hashem do so to this Land; why this wrathfulness of great anger?" (24)And they will say, "Because they forsook the Covenant of Hashem, the G-d of their forefathers, that He sealed with them when He took them out of the Land of Egypt, and they went and served the gods of others and prostrated themselves to them, gods that they knew not and He did not apportion to them. So G-d's anger flared against that Land to bring upon the entire curse that is written in this Book; and Hashem removed them from upon their soil with anger, with wrath, and with fury and He cast them to another land as this very day! The hidden[sins] are for Hashem, our G-d but the revealed [sins] are for us and our children forever, to carry out all the words of this Torah.specifically,

The Rebbe came to a woman, Dalia, in a dream, during the time of the Oslo Accords, and told her to make a card and publicize that Hebron is the Holy Resting Place of the Patriarchs and the cradle of Jewish Civilization. Indeed tens of thousands of cards were printed and distributed. in the US, Israel, and throughout the world.
See Attached Doc141.doc :
Card-one side-The Lubavitcher Rebbe
other side: picture of the front of the Cave of Machpela with the words:
Hebron Ir Hakodesh (in Hebrew)
The Holy Resting Place of the Patriarchs (and Matriarchs)
The Cradle of Jewish Civilization
The Holy Resting Place of the Patriarchs (and Matriarchs)
The Cradle of Jewish Civilization
In light of what is happening around the globe with the rise of anti-Semitism, this message needs to be rebroadcast and redistributed.
We need to hold on strong to our property, our inheritance, our land, and our heritage!

Shurat Hadin: Petition Not to Transfer $25 MILLION to Gaza Banks to pay terrorist paychecks?
bs"d
Hi,
Hi,
I wrote to another email and now see this one. My question, can a group in Toronto Canada or the U.S. join in the suit against the government of Israel's transferring of these funds? Also what about a suit regarding the "freeing" of terrorists?

Caroline Glick, You are fantastic and clearly against a Palestinian State but is it for the right reasons?
bs"d
Re:
Caroline Glick article in Jerusalem Post - Netanyahus Grand Coalition
Dear Caroline, amv'sh
You are fantastic. But, you seem to disregard the Torah our source for our entitlement.
All your points are excellent but they are commentary to the Torah. And the Torah, is not something one should disregard.
When Feiglin's supporters started singing "Anachnu maaminim Uvnei Maaminim. Veayn Lanu Al me Lehishayn, ela ela al Avinu, Avinu Shebashamayim" (We are believers, the sons of believers, and we have no one to lean upon except our Father in heaven) they are not disregarding the West. They are recognizing their allegiance primarily to our Crreator.
Belief in G-d and in His salvation is the only way we can fight effectively against our enemies. Sometimes it means we have no choice but to disregard the powers in the West. With Obama in the drivers seat, you too will have to come to grips with the overpowering odds against the people of Israel at this time. It's a war on religion and fundamentalist Islam has an upper hand. The way to counter that is only with the Torah. Antisemitism gets it's root from anti Shem - when G-d's name is not in the picture. In addition Cham was destined to be a servant of Shem. Canaan was the offspring of Cham. Therefore, even when Erez Canaan was ruled by the Canaanites, in theory it belonged to Shem since the owner of a slave owns the slaves property as well.
But the Land belongs to G-d. We are G-d's servants. We demonstrate that by keeping Shemittah. Will any peace loving Palestinian keep Shemittah. G-d has decided to whom he wishes to give Eretz Yisroel. We in turn are the stewards of the land and are obligated to keep the commandments of the Land. Won't we starve if we don't work the Land in the Shemittah year?
Actually we should be partying all year eating from all the open fields. We'll gain tons of weight and it shouldn't even cost us.
Do the Rabbi's promote this kind of Sabbatical year. Unfortunately, they too don't have the necessary faith required for putting our full reliance on G-d in heaven for our sustenance.
Call it what you wish but it's the Torah.
Shavua Tov! Robin

Subject: Dov Hikind - Clearly against a Palestinian State but for the wrong reasons
To: do4israel <do4israel@live.com>

Tonight Malcolm Hoenlein was on the Dov Hikind Show.
We all know that Dov Hikind is one of the biggest supporters of the people of Yesha. He personally has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the people of Yesha before the Chagim. He was out there in Gush Katif. He is the voice for Sderot. There has been no politician that I can think of that has done more for Yesha than Dov Hikind.
Yet tonight, after hearing him speak with Malcolm Hoenlein on the Dov Hikind radio program, it was apparent that his focus was that the tragedy of the peace process is that we do not have a Peace Partner to speak about. I called in to the radio program with my comment. I said "Why is our focus on not having a working "peace partner". Why isn't our focus our Entitlement of Yesha and our Jewish Heritage? When we focus on simply not have a "working peace partner, we are suggesting that we would be willing to betray our Jewish Heritage and give away our entitlement if indeed the Arabs would show reciprocity.
To this Dov Hikind replied that if indeed the Arabs would show that they were a true peace partner than he would be willing to negotiate.
This in fact has unfortunately been the position of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah. They did not object to the giving away of Sinai or of Gush Katif since they believed it would perhaps bring peace.
This kind of reasoning I believe is the very source of our inability to hold on to our Land.
Where are our principles? Where is our entitlement, pride, knowledge, and appreciation of the precious gift that G-d has given to the people of Israel, to our forefathers, to us? Where is our yearning and desire to observe the commandments like Shemittah, Teruma and Maaser etc on the LAND. These commandments are according to the Torah the key to bringing Security????? Failure to observe these commandments properly results in no security and the danger of being thrown out of the Land.
The Land of Israel is promised exclusively for the Jewish Nation and all those that are willing to accept our Sovereignty and observe the 7 Noahide Laws. Only this will bring Peace and Prosperity to mankind! The Land will not produce for any other alien people. The Land has remained loyal to its proper caretaker the Jewish Nation.
Here is an analogy. Trespassers are in ones' basement and wish to take over the house. Perhaps initially the owner had pity on them. Perhaps they intimidated him. So he let them stay in his basement. Knowing their full intentions, which house owner would agree to keep them in the basement as long as they agree not to throw him, the owner, out. Only a homeowner that doesn't really believe that his house truly belongs to him. One that knows that this house is his will throw these imposters out real quick. Otherwise he's stupid.
This kind of "peace negotiations" clearly show that the Baal Habayis, the Jews aren't convinced of their own entitlement. It doesn't really matter that they paid almost a million dollars for the Beit Hashalom and with tapes and videos and that the Arab has his life in danger by admitting that he sold it to Jews. The justice system clearly has no checks and balances so that judges are not approved by the Knesset by by themselves. These judges have no problem giving away our homes that are ours and that we bought and built because they don't really believe that we are entitled to our homes. Most probably they have convinced themselves that the Arabs are right and we indeed are "occupiers".
Why is Dov Hikind praising Malcolm Hoenlein when Malcolm Hoenlein has been supporting these Peace Talks and never once said that OSLO was wrong? During Annapolis, those of us that wanted to yell were quieted by the calming Malcolm who claimed that nothing of substance was decided. All the mainstream Jewish groups were silenced as per his leadership. Only AFSI protested the Annapolis talks.
Yet tonight on Dov Hikind's show, Malcolm Hoenlein himself talked of the dangerous vote to be taking place in the UN, solidifying what was agreed upon in Annapolis. Isn't it clear that our silence and participation at Annapolis led to this point????
Annapolis made the world a much less safe place. It empowered the Palestinians, the "moderates" who rejoiced when the Mercaz Harav boys were slaughtered. Annapolis weakened the settlement in Yesha. Since Annapolis, there is no Jewish expansion in many parts of Yesha, there is freedom of movement among the Palestinians with the removal of important security roadblocks. G-d forbid if Jews venture into some Arab communities w/o protection. IDF has turned a blind eye to acts of aggression and those that defend themselves in Yesha are thrown into prison with felony charges against them instead of their perpetrators. Jews are forbidden to live in parts of Yesha and are forbidden to buy houses in parts of Yesha.
Dov Hikind, listen to your wife Shani! She asked Malcolm about Feiglin and why Netanyahu is afraid of him.
It seems clear to me and I hope that I am not mistaken, that Moshe Feiglin has a fear of G-d and is proud of our Jewish Heritage. He will speak out as per our entitlement of Yesha as opposed to asking for reciprocity. That is why Netanyahu, who has betrayed us at the WYE agreements and with Gush Katif is afraid of him. Not because as Malcolm suggests this is a radical stance and will alienate the rest of the country but rather because Moshe Feiglin hopefully stands for Authentic Jewish Entitlement of all parts of Israel and he is not afraid to say so.
To even suggest that this is "radical" is a betrayal of our Jewish Heritage and empowering those that are willing to annul our Covenant.
Malcolm Hoenlein is unwilling to renege on Oslo since he feels that we already committed to it but he is willing to renege on our Biblical Covenant with Hashem.
And we wonder why G-d isn't on our side? Will we rely on the UN or NATO to protect us?
