Confession
of the anti-Israel Bigot.
Former
U.S. President Jimmy Carter is asking for forgiveness for stigmas he caused
against Israel as a result of his peace agenda.
In a letter sent
to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) in time for the Christmas season, Carter
wrote: "We must recognize Israel's achievements under difficult
circumstances, even as we strive in a positive way to help Israel continue to
improve its relations with its Arab populations, but we must not permit
criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel. As I would have noted at Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but which is appropriate at any time of the year, I
offer an Al Het (a prayer said on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement -
that signifies a plea for forgiveness) for any words or deeds of mine that may
have done so." (Quite possible that he is
gravely ill now and is trying to obtain redemption for his consistent
anti-Israel bigotry. Isn't it too late and insincere?)
Vatican: No Reconciliation, No Respect! Plans by Pope
Benedict XVI to relaunch the process of beatification of Pope Pius XII, the
Catholic Church leader during World War II who remained silent as the Nazis
exterminated Europe’s Jews, have provoked criticism in Israel and in Europe. (At a time when Christians all over the world are supposed
to pray for peace and forgiveness, the Vatican has again shown disrespect and
contempt toward Jews and a complete lack of interest in reconciliation. Why
must only Jews be polite and considerate toward their enemies, oppressors and
haters? Common moral and international legal standards must be applied to all,
especially to the Vatican – the moral leader of 1.3 billion of the world’s
Christians!)
Tribute
to a Hero of Zion #1: Yitzhak “Ike” Ahronovitch, the captain of the Exodus
ship whose attempt to take Jews to Palestine built support for Israel’s
founding, has died. He was 86. The Exodus 1947 ship left France in July 1947
carrying more than 4,500 people – most of them Holocaust survivors and other
displaced Jews – in a secret effort to reach Palestine. At the time, Britain
controlled Palestine and was limiting the immigration of Jews.
Tribute
to a Hero of Zion #2: Thousands of
people took part in the funeral of Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai who was murdered on
Thursday by (‘peace loving’ and ‘moderate’) a Fatah
terror squad. He lived in Shavei Shomron for 14 years and was
married with seven children. Samaria Regional Council Head Gershon Mesika said
“Rabbi Meir is a victim of the folly of the government of Israel… (its
inaction against Arabs, anti-Jewish policy and political games)” “I
demand that you (Ehud Barak and Binyamin Netanyahu) face
the widow and orphans and ask forgiveness” (Two weeks ago
the main checkpoint between Shechem and Tulkarm was opened)
IDF Can when Politicians Want. Security
Services in partnership with soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed
the murderers of Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai. All three were convicted
terrorists who had been committed to and later released from Israeli
prisons.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Food for Thought. by
Steven Shamrak
Once again,
the Israeli ‘justice’ system, controlled by a corrupt and self-hating Labor
party, is able to claim success. After threats of prosecution, the Israeli FM
Avigdor Lieberman was effectively silenced and marginalised. The same tactic
was previously used against Ariel Sharon when threats were made to prosecute
him and his son for corruption.
To Visit the Jewish Temple
Mount a Jew Must go to Court. The High Court has ordered Israel Police to allow Yehuda Glick,
chairman of the Human Rights on the Temple Mount group, to ascend the Mount,
after having denied him the right to do so for many months. Police last year
banned Glick because of his activities in promoting Jewish visits to the Mount.
Goldstone Report Works Both
Ways. Fifteen Israelis
who were injured by Kassam rockets from Gaza Arab terrorists during Operation
Cast Lead have filed a lawsuit against Hamas in a Belgian court. The Israelis
are demanding that Belgian authorities issue international arrest warrants for
senior Hamas terrorists, including Khaled Mashaal, Ismail Haniyeh, Mahmoud
a-Zahar, Ahmad Jabbari, and Muhammad Deff. Part of the case rests upon the
Goldstone report, which ruled that Kassam rocket fire by Hamas was a violation
of international law, and that the court could not ignore the case.
Netanyahu is
Bribing Traitorous Rats. Several
Kadima MKs have committed themselves to leave the party. Netanyahu and his
associates have negotiated with 15 Kadima MKs about leaving Kadima over the
past three months. Each of the MKs who leave Kadima will become a minister,
deputy minister or Knesset committee chairman. (In order to
improve his position in Likud, Netanyahu is trying to bring traitors into the
party.)
Foreign Media is Anti-Semitic. Nearly
three-quarters of Israelis view the foreign media as being negative towards
Israel. The Palestinian Authority’s information campaign and poor public
relations by the Israeli government were close behind as reasons for the bad
image. (The self-hating Israeli media is also not a
big help!)
Israelis
Oppose Foreign Funding of Self-Hating Groups. A new poll has
found that a majority of Israelis oppose European government funding of
non-governmental ‘human rights’ organizations, such as the leftwing groups
Peace Now and Betzelem, in order to increase domestic pressure on the
Israeli government. The poll’s findings show that 59% oppose foreign
contributions while only 28% support them.
Swastikas
on Walls of Ancient Synagogue near Hevron. A group of Jews,
in a rare visit to the ruins of an ancient synagogue in a PA controlled village
southwest of Hevron, was shocked to discover that swastikas had been scrawled
on the walls. (No international outrage. It was not
even covered by the mainstream news! Why is Arab/Muslim thuggery not news worthy?)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Quote
of the Week: ''I
do not believe in truces with the Hamas. We must respond to terrorism with
force.'' - Opposition leader Tzipi Livni said not long ago – Another political stunt from the Israeli left! While being
in power her party has forcibly removed 8,500 Jews from Gaza but has not done
the same to the hostile Arab population of Gaza!
IDF
Fighting Jewish Patriots, not Enemies. The Israel Defense Forces will use air
reconnaissance and photography to detect violations of the freeze on settlement
construction in the West Bank, as well as special forces raids on violators.
The document, issued by officers from the Central Command, details the
intelligence-gathering methods to be used to detect freeze violations and plans
to demolish ‘illegally’ built structures. (Why is
the same vigour and determination not used against enemies and truly illegal
Arab constructions? Stupid appeasement games must end, it has never worked for
Jews!)
EU/Spanish
Anti-Israel/Anti-Semitic Hypocrisy. The Spanish foreign minister, Miguel Moratinos, who will
assume the EU presidency on Jan. 1, at a Brussels news conference. "Of
course I cannot guarantee that at the end of the year we will have a
Palestinian state. But we are going to fight for this final aspiration to
become a reality." (I wonder why the
independence of the Basque people, whose land is in Europe and is occupied by Spain
and France, is not a priority for the future EU president?)
Jewish Music Banned at Jewish Holy Site. The
Organization for Human Rights in Judea and Samaria has accused Israeli
authorities of unfairly and selectively enforcing laws for Jewish and Arab
residents of the mixed city of Hevron. For years, visitors arriving at the Cave
of the Patriarchs in the holy city have been greeted by Jewish music. Last week
the Jewish music was banned by Israeli police!
Retaliate by Refusing Arabs’ Goods. Palestinian
Authority (PA) Economics Minister Hassan Abu-Libda said that his office has
decided to make 2010 the year that the PA economy stops accepting goods from
the Jews of Judea and Samaria (Yesha). PA authorities confiscated and destroyed
a large shipment of Yesha produce delivered to Jericho that they valued at
$50,000 and almost three times that much were seized in other parts of the PA. (There aren’t many Arabs’ goods on the market but we can
start with driving less and checking where the figs, sultanas or dates are
produced.)
The Result of Non-Jewish Migration and
Political Apathy. 1. The government discussed imposing limitations on the
sale of alcoholic beverages. Under the proposed rules, individuals under 21
will not be able to purchase alcoholic beverages, and no sales will be
permitted after 11 PM. In addition, drinking in public places would be
prohibited, and alcohol will be sold only in specially licensed stores. 2. Five men were stabbed in a mass brawl that
broke out in Kiryat Gat early on Saturday a week ago over music blasting from a
car. ''The husband (of kiosk owner) was stabbed and seriously wounded. A number
of passersby came to his aid, and four more people were stabbed,'' said a
police spokeswoman.
Hypocrisy of the
Headlines.
Israel feels tarnished as critics
apply apartheid tag... – Why don’t Arabs feel ‘tarnished’ wearing the well deserved
tag of blood-thirsty terrorists, anti-crusaders bigots and heroin pushers?
Where are the headlines about it?
Iran’s
$250M Terror Gift. Iran “wants to hold all the
cards in its hands” in any future dialogue with the United States and for that
reason it gave Hamas 250 million dollars to derail the internal Palestinian
Authority talks over unity, PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas said. “Every six months
Iran transfers this sum to Hamas.”
Opposition
to Rabin Bank Note. Bank of Israel was asked by
Land of Israel activists to reconsider its decision to put the portrait of
former Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin on bank notes: “Let it be clearly
understood that Rabin's image was controversial… Rabin caused inestimable and
indescribable damage to the state of Israel." (And
it is conveniently forgotten that Yitzhak Rabin was a Palmach commander who
carried out the attack on the Irgun weapon supply boat, the Altalena, killing
and wounding Jews and sinking the boat, at the time when Jews needed weapons
most!)
Arabs Stand United Against Israel. The
close relationship between Syria and Lebanon strengthens both
countries and reinforces the united Arab stance against Israel said Lebanese
Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri, who has blamed neighbouring Syria for the
assassination of his father, during a meeting with Syrian President Bashar
Assad. Lebanon's prime minister. (Even a blood feud is unable to break
the bonds of Arabs hatred against Jews. I wish Jews would show the same unity
in pursuit of the Jewish National goal!)
Time to Remember Basics on Israel.
At a
Knesset discussion last week, MK Yariv Levin (Likud) said that it is time to
return to some "basic truths" about the State of Israel, which he
said was established not as a "Jewish, democratic state," but a
"Jewish state with a democratic system of government. Israel was
established in order to be the state of the Jewish people." (Both
ideas have unfortunately been ignored by Labor and Likud governments)
Levin made the comments after discussion in the Knesset on a law he proposed
that seeks to preserve a law that prevents Palestinian Authority Arabs from
acquiring Israeli citizenship if they marry an Israeli Arab.
