Snub to the US and Non-Existence to Israel!

Steven Shamrak

Why must Israel negotiate with terrorists who want to destroy the Jewish state? The US didn't and any other self-respecting country wouldn t!

During a visit to Bethlehem this week, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas held up a stone model of the map of "Palestine" (including a part of Gaza in Sinai - see the link) that erases Israel. US President Obama has condemned the existence of maps like the one Abbas displayed as a "security" threat to Israel:

"I will never compromise when it comes to Israel's security... Not when there are terrorist groups and political leaders committed to Israel's destruction. Not when there are maps across the Middle East that don't even acknowledge Israel's existence." Last year Abbas held up a similar political map that presented a world without Israel. It included the PA flag above the entire land of Israel, and was titled "Palestine." It named all the neighbouring states in English - "Lebanon, Syria, Jordan Egypt" - but failed to mention Israel. Abbas openly ignores US President Obama's criticism of the use of such maps... (Arabs and so-called Palestinians regularly snub the US. They are not rebuked, criticised or pressured by the US administration, only Israel!)

Why Arab "Activists", but "Right-wing" Israelis?

Scores of Jordanian "activists" demonstrated near the Israeli embassy in the capital Amman to mark the 16th anniversary of the peace treaty between Jordan and Israel. Participants - mainly trade unionists and Islamists - chanted slogans and raised placards urging the government to cancel the October 26, 1994, peace pact with Israel.

Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak

I have been sending my letters for over 9 years all over the world to people, Jews and non-Jews - supporters and adversaries, in order to create the understanding of the underlying issues of the Arab-Israel conflict and to promote the original Zionist idea of reunification of Eretz-Israel. In my opinion, the Sinai Option: Road to Permanent Peace is most viable way to achieve it; it will stop the suffering of Jews in Israel from Arab terror, and put an end to the long-enduring conflict.

Huge Pay-off for Retaining the ME Conflict

The U.S. State Department announced the largest weapons sale in the history of the United States: $60 billion worth of combat planes and helicopters to Saudi Arabia. The Obama Administration has notified Congress of the plans for the 20-year deal. It is to include 84 F-15 fighter aircraft and over 170 helicopters, the upgrading of 70 older-model F-15 planes, and the sale of smaller air force items. The helicopter deal includes 70 Apaches, 72 Blackhawks, and 32 MH-6 Little Birds. (Obviously keeping the Arab-Israel conflict artificially inflamed and not allowing Israel to end it, and instigating a fake "war on terror" in Iraq encompasses some hidden agendas. One of them is this financial bonanza for the US and other peace loving weapon pushers!)

Broken Accords Must be Buried

A senior PA official warned that it may break previous accords for the 'peace process' if Israel does not agree to its demands. However, the PA already has broken the agreements, that - among others - declare Israel will be a Jewish state, and the PA will halt all incitement and dismantle its terrorist infrastructure. The PLO also has not changed its charter denying the existence of Israel. (Israel must put a stop to endless and useless strings of agreements with terrorists and start building the Jewish state, without residential enemies!)

Unreported by Media 'Work Accident'

More than a dozen people, including five children and three women, were wounded a week ago by a Hamas "work accident" at one of the terrorist organisation's military bases, located in a crowded neighbourhood in the southern Gaza border city of Rafiah. Explosives often are detonated prematurely or accidentally while terrorists are setting up roadside bombs, suicide bomber belts and similar weapons. (In violation of the Geneva Convention, Arab terrorists are using women and children as "human shields". Nobody demands that they be trailed by an international court! 'Humanists' and 'objective' media are silent!)

Another Example of International anti-Israel Bastardry . The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO - the Arab League affiliate) voted recently to officially declare Rachel's Tomb to be a mosque. The vote called for Rachel's Tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs - the burial site of the other Biblical Patriarchs and Matriarchs - to be removed from Israel's National Heritage list.

Why Must Israel Cooperate with International Hypocrites?

Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah called on Lebanese citizens not to cooperate with the UN's inquiry committee into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. His statement comes just two days after two members of the committee were forcefully removed from a clinic in a neighbourhood in southern Beirut. (Once again there is no international condemnation and the world the press is silent!)

Quote of the Week:

"For the first decades after Israel s founding, this war was conventional in nature. The goal was straightforward: to use military force to overrun Israel. Then came phase two: terrorism. Terrorists targeted Israelis both home and abroad - from the massacre of Israeli athletes at Munich to the Second Intifada. Now the war has entered a new phase. This is the soft war that seeks to isolate Israel by delegitimising it. The battleground is everywhere: the media & multinational organizations & NGOs. In this war, the aim is to make Israel a pariah." - Rupert Murdoch - Where are the brave Jewish leaders and rabbis who would, like Rupert, clearly define the goals of Israel as the Jewish state, creation of Eretz-Israel, and dispel the hypocrisy and danger of negotiation with the enemies? Most of the anti-Semitic international bigots are willing and enthusiastic participants in this "media war" against the Jewish state!

"Delusion" is a Medical Condition!

Israel wants a real peace agreement with the Palestinians which will ensure Israeli security, and will not be satisfied with "papers and promises", Premier Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday night, ahead of the start of (recent) direct negotiations between the sides. (Which has never really eventuated)

"We will not allow the firing of thousands of rockets and missiles from Palestinian territories into Israel as was the case when we pulled out of Lebanon and Gaza," he told members of his Likud Party at a traditional toast to mark the Jewish New year.

"That is not peace. We want real agreements on the ground that ensure the security of Israel and its citizens," Netanyahu said. (Thirteen years after the Oslo Accords, both sides of Israeli politics are still playing dangerous delusional games that peace with Islamic terror is possible).

The Prime Minister left for Washington, to attend a summit kicking off the long-delayed direct talks, the first face-to-face negotiations between the sides in more than a year. (What a misuse of time and money it was!)

According to the Ha'aretz daily, he told the Likud members that "real peace lasts for generations," citing as an example the peace agreement Israel and Egypt signed in 1979. (And we all know what kind of a back-stabbing neighbour Egypt is!)

He said peace was an attainable goal, but noted that it was not entirely up to Israel alone. (It is entirely up to Israel! It is time to face the truth - the enemies of Israel will never give up on the idea of destroying the Jewish state. Negotiations have time and again proven to be a waste of time. Only a strong Israel, pursuing and achieving Zionist goals without regard to fake political correctness, will be able to make our enemies to accept a newly created reality!)

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

Who is being discriminated-facts tell the truth

Religious bias

Hate crimes motivated by religious bias accounted for 1,409 offenses reported by law enforcement. A breakdown of the bias motivation of religious-bias offenses showed:

65.4 percent were anti-Jewish.
13.2 percent were anti-Islamic.
9.5 percent were anti-other religion, i.e., those not specified.
4.3 percent were anti-Catholic.
3.8 percent were anti-multiple religions, group.
3.3 percent were anti-Protestant.
0.5 percent were anti-Atheism/Agnosticism/etc.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
