Hanukkah
is a Zionist Celebration!
(Compiled and edited by Steven Shamrak)
The name of Jewish holiday, Hanukkah, is
derived from a Hebrew word - meaning “to dedicate.” It used to be a minor
Jewish festival with no Biblical source.
The Chanukah story permeates
Hanukkah is one of the quintessentially Zionist

declared: “Yes, they have arisen - the children of those whose

UN and Amnesty International ‘Legalizing’ Population
Transfer!
At least 28 countries around the world have agreed to take in more
than a 100,000 Syrian refugees, the head of the UN refugee agency has said. The
pledges come days after rights group Amnesty International said that a number
of affluent nations have taken in a "pitiful" number of the millions
of Syrian refugees uprooted by the country, placing the burden on Syria's
ill-equipped neighbours. (This is good news! The Geneva

"Being a terrorist actually becomes a profession of choice," stated
MK Orit Struk (Jewish Home), during a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee hearing. "I did the math and saw a significant gap between the
average salary of a terrorist sitting in Israeli prison and the average salary
for a PA police officer is roughly 800 shekel (per month) - in favor of the
terrorist."
