Israel is a Strategic Partner of the USA
Israel is now officially a strategic partner of
the United States, a classification held by no other
nation, according to a bill signed into law by US President Barack
Obama.
The United States-Israel Strategic
Partnership Act of 2014 took more than a year to draft in Congress, and became
an omnibus bill for the US-Israel relationship, reinforcing cooperation across
industries with a focus on defense.
Signing the law, the president hailed its
bipartisan support and said it “reflects the importance placed by my
administration on strengthening and deepening US-Israel bilateral cooperation
and ties.”
“It reinforces critical defense and
security programs, which have reached an unprecedented level under my
administration,” Obama said. “It also lays the
groundwork for increased trade and cooperation across a range of cutting-edge
fields, including energy, water, agriculture and technology.”
Recommitting the US to maintaining Israel’s “qualitative military edge” over its
neighbors in the Middle
East, the act
expands authority for the forward deployment of US-made weapons stockpiles in
Israeli conflicts.
It is the policy of the United States, the bill reads, “to reaffirm the
unwavering support of the people and the government of the United States for the security of Israel as a Jewish state.” (Why did it take so long to state the
obvious? It looks like president Obama, after many
years of anti-Israel policy, at the end of his tender is trying to write his
name in history books. First, he ‘normalized’ relationship with Cuba, but has not really welcomed Israel as a strategic partner. Obama has reserved the right to interpret!)
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
Islamists and many Muslims
in general are trying to justify their violence and hate toward infidels by the
injustice they suffered from Christian Crusaders and Western powers. Just
imagine how much terror Jews should unleash on Christians and Muslims for the
millennia of continuous discrimination and genocide Jews have been suffering from
at the hands of righteous devotees of both ‘love’ professing religions!
Abbas Blackmails the ‘Ugly Nothing’
Mahmoud Abbas threatened to sever all ties with Israel if the
statehood resolution presented to the UN Security Council did not receive
approval. Abbas said the Palestinians were
“determined to restore their rights, including the right of return for refugees
and the release of all Palestinians (terrorist) from Israeli prison.” “If we
fail, we will halt all dealings with the Israeli government and ask it to
assume its responsibilities as an occupation state,” he said. (Good, it will
allow Israel to end the Arab
occupation of the Jewish land by removing them from Judea, Samaria and Gaza!)
Only pro-Muslim Comments are Allowed in the West
Prominent French journalist Eric Zemmour
is being barred by a news channel for saying Muslims elbowing French people out
of the suburbs. The iTELE channel said that Zemmour would not be invited back to a chat show he has
been appearing in since 2003 following an outcry over his latest remarks. (At the same time a man attacked police, yelling 'Allahu Akbar' in suburb of Tours, France. The pro-Islamic policy of European
countries is based on anti-Semitism, not on love for Muslims!)
They Want to Destroy Israel, not a UN Resolution
The Palestinian draft resolution demanding Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and East Jerusalem will be brought to a vote at the UN
Security Council by the end of 2014, PLO official Saeb
Erekat told Russian media - but it is rejected by
some Palestinian factions, including Hamas.
Anti-Israel Political Posing is NOT Care for Fake
Palestinians!
Two months after donors pledged $5.4 billion to help rebuild Gaza after the war between Israel and Hamas only
2%, $100 million or so, has been received according to UN and other officials.
The conference in Cairo had been hailed as a (anti-Israel) success, with Qatar promising $1 billion, Saudi Arabia $500 million and the United States and the European Union a combined $780
million in various forms of assistance.
Hypocrisy
of French War on Terror
French prosecutors announce the rampage of a driver who injured 13
people in Dijon was not a terrorist attack. The incident occurred when a
driver, yelling "Allahu Akbar,"
ploughed into dozens of pedestrians in the eastern French city of Dijon a week ago, some 300 miles from Paris. (Just because the perpetrator was in a psychiatric hospital it
does not diminish his intent!)
Quote of the Week:
“Western politicians and journalists have adopted the Arab
narrative, which portrays Israel as the cause of its conflicts and its
creation as a kind of original sin. Needless to say, the only acceptable ‘cure’
is to slice up and emasculate Israel so that it can more easily be gobbled
up. It’s easy to say that they are bribed and blackmailed by our enemies,
afraid of or pandering to their Muslim populations, or indoctrinated by
left-wing academics.”
- Vic Rosenthal - They ignore the reality of the core
reason of current Islamic terror - hate for “infidels”! The main
reason for the overwhelming Western governments support for the fake Arab
state, Palestine, and demise
of the Jewish state is not oil, but deeply ingrained anti-Semitic attitude!
Sinai Option - The Road to Peace!
by
Steven Shamrak.
It is
not enough to rebuke enemies - Israel must
have a clear plan of action in order to reunite all Jewish land and stop
anti-Jewish international hypocrisy!
Do you know any
other way that has not been tried?
Only
120 years ago, most parts of the Middle East,
including Palestine and
the entire Sinai Peninsula, were
a desolate, arid, land mass which did not belong to any country. It was a no
man’s land with which for 2000 years Jews had an unbroken spiritual and
historical bond!
The
creation of a Mandate system after the defeat of the Ottoman
Empire in World War 1 and in the grip of the new masters, Britain and
France, laid the foundations of the current Arab-Israel conflict:
Trans-Jordan
was part of the Palestinian mandate, which was allocated for creation of a
Jewish state by the League of Nations in
1922, in accordance with the Balfour Declaration. Therefore, its separation
from Palestinian mandated land was an illegal act. Unfortunately, the dominant
imperial powers, Britain and France,
controlled the League of Nations which
they used to rubber stamp their shady deals at the time.
As a
result of the deal, in 1922, in order to secure Britain's
financial interests in the Suez Canal,
Sinai was given to Egypt by
the British with the permission of King Hussein of Hejaz and Nejd, now Saudi
Arabia. Jews were not
asked! In return, Britain
transferred control of the land east of the river Jordan to
Hussein's son, Abdullah. Control of the Golan Heights was
transferred to the French-run Syrian Mandate and in exchange the United
Kingdom got control of
the newly discovered oil fields in Kirkuk.
Since
its independence, Israel has
fought many wars with its implacable Arab neighbours, signed numerous
cease-fires, so-called Hudnas and even peace
agreements. But all those efforts have not brought about any permanent solution
to the endless terror Israeli society has been enduring daily.
The
solution that can bring permanent peace to Israel and
let Arabs live with dignity in their own country was proposed over 100 years
ago. It has been deliberately ignored and disallowed by the United Nations.
It is the Sinai option – the
transfer of all of the Arab population from the land that used to be called the
“Palestinian mandate” to the Sinai Peninsula, an
area of contiguous land which is comparable in size with the entire Palestinian
mandate: Israel, Gaza, Judea, Samaria, the Golan
Heights and Jordan! This
plan presents a real opportunity for a permanent peace:
1. It will separate the two entirely incompatible communities and
will create an environment conducive to the development of a new Arab entity
totally independent from Israel.
2. It will provide the Arabs with a contiguous landmass. Isn’t that
what the PA is demanding?
3. It will give the Arabs full territorial, financial, military,
political and religious control over the land, natural resources and population.
There will be no dependency on Israel!
4. The new entity will be accountable for its actions in accordance
with international law.
5. Israel will be able to securely control its
border with the new Arab entity and keep it accountable for any terror
activity.
6. All anti-Israel terror-inclined elements will be removed from the
Jewish lands.
And,
this plan is relatively easy to implement because:
1. The new entity can be either part of Egypt or become another independent Arab
state.
2. There are only around 250,000 people living in Sinai today,
predominantly Bedouins.
3. The SINAI OPTION will resolve the so-called Palestinians refugee
question as they can easily be settled in the Sinai. Note: Over 70% of Jordan’s population is so-called Palestinians;
others are descendents of the refuges from Saudi Arabia.
4. Every year the International community has been wasting/spending
billions of dollars merely on conflict maintenance in the region. The SINAI
OPTION offers the opportunity for investment in the permanent resolution of the
conflict and it will free up billions of dollars that can be used to alleviate
the suffering of people the world over.
5. Population transfers were successfully implemented before and
after the adoption of the fourth Geneva Convention resolution. In fact, Israel is the only country this resolution
targeted in order to prevent the transfer of the Arab population from Israel after the war of Independence!
6. It will create investment opportunities and would be of great
benefit to Egypt as well a financial bonanza for the
Arabs who are currently living in Judea-Samaria, Gaza and Jordan.
7. It will improve the lifestyle and living conditions of millions of
Arabs and will bring peace, stability and prosperity to Jews in Israel.
8. The plan can be implemented humanely and gradually under the
supervision of the International community or it can be implemented by force,
unilaterally by Israel, when the Arab enemies of the Jewish
state start the next war or perpetrate a hideous act of terror against the
Israeli population. Israel must be ready to implement the SINAI
OPTION at any time!
This
is the only way toward permanent peace in the region and the fulfilment of the
2000 year old commandment and inspiration of the Jewish people – the return to
the G-d given land of our ancestors!
The
International community, Arab and Muslim countries insist that they want peace
in the Middle East! Therefore, why
don’t they even want to hear about this alternative plan? And the fact that
during the breakout through the Sinai border with Egypt, instigated and planned
in advance by Hamas, half of Gaza’s population were
able to cross the border during the first two days is a proof that the Sinai
Option is easy to implement and a practical way to start the process of ending
Arab occupation of Jewish land and establishing a true and permanent peace in
Israel, free of Arab terror.
