An open appeal to the Government of Israel

Nurit Greenger

Only of and when Israel sets her mind up to stand up for itself and fight back, it will end the weakness that oozes from its behavior.

Only Israel can make a decision to gain respect, to be feared and survive. Then, and only then, nothing can stop Israel from doing what is necessary to protect the homeland and her citizens.

Along with the shocking horrendous murder of five members of the young Fogel family, by Arab terrorists, something touched a raw nerve in the Israeli Government and all Jews. The shockwave has gone viral. The Israeli government must move away from the articulating and prattling at ad nauseam. Replace the vapid talk with actions.

In his visit to the grieving Fogel family PM Netanyahu said: "They kill, we build. We will build our country." No PM Netanyahu the right saying is: We will stop them from killing us and we build, we will build our country, now like never before."

The Israeli government must stop fooling itself and all Israelis. It is well known that the "construction freeze" was never lifted; the time to lift it is NOW. Build YESAH like never before! It is our homeland, it is our future. And, never again, remove Jews from their homes. Every single inch west of the Jordan River belongs to the Jewish State of Israel. Who was the one to have installed in the Arabs' mind that any land is their? No one other than one foolish Israeli government after another. Reset the Arabs' mindset. They are and will be living in the Land of Israel under Israeli-Jewish rule or they have a choice to move. No state for them on our land. Their "Palestine" mirage can appear on other lands, not the Land of the Jews.

So, the Government of Israel government, time to take control. We are all expecting you to set away the fears you have developed to the US, EU and the UN badgering and finally set your mind to protect all your land and your future. We know you will do a fantastic job, since no one is better at doing it than Israel herself. Following the gruesome murder in Itamar we are witnessing a sliver line of the right approach on the right direction. This silver line of better approach must proceed to taking full charge of Israel's existence, as it once used to do.

Israel, you now have the opportunity to go from strength to strength. Capture the moment!

קול קורא לממשלת ישראל

רק כאשר ישראל תחליט לעמוד על דעתה ולהלחם בחזרה, היא תשים סוף לחולשה שנוטפת מהתנהגותה.

רק ישראל יכולה להחליט לרכוש כבוד, שאויביה יחששו ממנה ולשרוד. ואז, ורק אז, שום דבר לא יכול לעצור את ישראל מלעשות את הדרוש כדי להגן על המולדת ועל אזרחיה.

עם הרצח הנוראי והמזעזע של חמשת בני משפחת פוגל הצעירה, על ידי מחבלים ערבים, משהו נגע בעצב חשוף של ממשלת ישראל וכל היהודים. גל השוק התפשט ויראלי.

ממשלת ישראל חייבת להתרחק מברברים ופטפוטים מחליאים. החליפו את שיחות התפל עם פעולות.

בביקור ניחום אבלים אצל משפחת פוגל ראש הממשלה נתניהו אמר: "הם הורגים, אנחנו בונים אנו נבנה את ארצנו." לא ראש הממשלה נתניהו ,האימרה הנכונה היא: "אנחנו נעצור אותם מלהרוג אותנו ואנחנו נבנה, אנו נבנה את ארצנו, עכשיו יותר מאי פעם."

ממשלת ישראל חייבת להפסיק לרמות את עצמה ואת כל הישראלים. עובדה ידועה היא כי "הקפאת הבנייה" מעולם לא הוסרה; הזמן להסירה הוא עכשיו. לבנות את 'ישע' כפי שאף פעם לא בנו שם. זו המולדת שלנו, זה העתיד שלנו. ולעולם לא להסיר יהודים מבתיהם. כל סנטימטר בודד ממערב לנהר הירדן שייך למדינה היהודית ישראל. מי היה זה שהכניס למוחם של הערבים כי איזו קרקע היא שלהם? אף אחד לא מאשר טפשותם של ממשלת ישראל אחת אחר השניה. אפסו את תפיסת המוח של הערבים. הם חיים ויחיו בארץ ישראל תחת שלטון ישראלי-יהודי או שהם יכולים לבחור לעזוב. אין מדינה עבורם על אדמת ישראל. מיראז' ה-"פלסטין" שלהם יכול להופיע על אדמות אחרות, לא בארץ היהודים.

וכך, הממשלה של מדינת ישראל, הגיע הזמן לקחת שליטה יל המצב. כולנו מצפים שתסירו את הפחדים שפיתחתם מההצקות של מארה"ב, האיחוד האירופי והאו"ם, וסוף סוף תחליטו להגן על כל אדמות המדינה ועתיד המדינה. אנחנו יודעים שאתם תעשו עבודה נהדרת, כי אף אחד לא יותר טוב לעשות זאת מאשר ישראל עצמה. בעקבות רצח הזוועה באיתמר אנו עדים לקו כסף של גישה נכונה לכיוון הנכון. קו כסף זה של גישה יותר טובה חייב להמשיך ולאורכו לקחת את מלוא האחריות לקיומה של מדינת ישראל, כפי שנעשה בעבר.

ישראל, יש לך עכשיו הזדמנות ללכת מחיל אל חיל. תיפסו את הרגע!

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.

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.
