Happy
Hanukkah!
May the spirit of the Maccabees yet again return to Israel and
help us defeat and remove our enemies from Jewish land.

Endless amounts of time and
millions of dollars are wasted on rebuking false accusations and deliberate
distortions of the facts of history as well as the current ‘reality’ invented
by Arabs, made by traditional anti-Semites, self-hating Jews and all sorts of
sophisticated and primitive xenophobes. Uncountable numbers of petitions have
been in circulation to counteract statements made by politicians in the United
Nations, parliaments around the world and/or on the front page of the papers
and TV shows. The present flavour of the month that attracts so much Jewish
enthusiasm are calls for boycotts of Israeli produced goods, investment in
Israel and scientific cooperation. I only wish that Jews would show the same
level of enthusiasm in support of our Zionist ideals!
At the same time, the Internet
has provided an ideal meeting place for traditional, brainless anti-Semites and
mentally disturbed, xenophobic attention seekers. They feed and thrive on the
attention that they provoke from people who are justifiably disgusted with
their uncontrolled activities on the Net. Therefore if you really want to hurt
them, the only way to deal with them is to stop dignifying their outrageous
anti-Israel behaviour with any response and deprive them of any attention.
The Internet is becoming the
major wasteful vent of people’s energy where they express themselves with no
results – just like a Japanese stress-relief dummy! We must not confuse
activities with accomplishments! Only by focusing on the Jewish National goal,
the establishment of Eretz-Israel on Jewish ancestral land, we will make it reality!
Therefore, the main question
we have to ask is: Do we really have to fight all of those idiots, including
the Presidents and the Prime ministers, and their politically or
psychologically distorted accusations? The record of the previous efforts made by
Israel and Jewish communities has proved that we must not waste our time and
resources on them. For example, a hundred years ago in Europe, in spite of
explicit contrary statements in the Torah about the use of blood, Jews were
accused of using blood of Christian children in preparation of Matza. Jewish
communities had won several court cases but it did not convince our enemies and
the idea is still subscribed to by some Christians and is being propagated in
Muslim countries as well.
The change of world opinion
and respect toward Israel and Jews was achieved several times after the
victories of the Independence war, the Six Day war and the Yom Kippur war -
when Israel was able to affirm itself as a strong, sovereign and equal nation.
Unfortunately it did not last long and the governments of Israel were unable or
unwilling to use the political momentum created by those victories, largely due
to the galut (slave) mentality Jews developed during life in hostile and
anti-Semitic environments, and the tradition of international anti-Semitism
prevailed again.
Israel must realize that Jews do not have many friends who
would be interested in helping Israel to reach the Jewish national goal. We must stop wasting time,
resources and energy on rebuking our enemies. It is a distraction! Although it
makes people feel good, it does not produce long lasting results. We must focus
on our goals and strategies in order to achieve them. Anything else is just
another useless activity, which takes us further from the Permanent Peace, even if it feels important and good at times.
Dear Friends, please give some of your Hanukkah
gelt in Support of this

Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak
Allied forces
killed over 300 civilians in Afghanistan just during the first 9 months of this
year. There is no ‘Goldstein’ report and no condemnation made by the bigots of
the UN General Assembly.
Pointless Freeze. 1)
Though Israel has stopped all construction in Judea and Samaria, top PLO
official Ahmed Qureia has told the European Union envoy to the Middle East that
there is no reason to return to negotiating table. 2) Yesha Council resolves:
Freeze on Jewish construction is a shameful decision that contrasts
with the historic process of the Return to Zion. 3) "We will resume
building at the end of the freeze" Netanyahu pledged to settlers in the
West Bank. 4) 72% Believe Building Freeze Due to US Pressure and felt the
freeze would not have an effect on the resumption of diplomatic talks. (Must Israel help Obama create the fake
perception of success while the current US administration has no respect for
Jewish national integrity?)
Another Six Months of Insincerity. President
Barack Obama is delaying moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from
Tel Aviv. A 1995 U.S. law recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital and ordered
that the embassy be relocated there. But the law also permits the president to
delay the move for six-month periods. (The US, like
most of ‘Jew-lovers’, does not keep its promises given to Israel. Why must
Israel care about the opinion of Jew-hating international filth?)
Truth
is Out - “Palestinian” Nation Does not Exist! The Zionist Freedom Alliance of
California has been circulating a video on the internet exposing former
Arab Member of Knesset Azmi Bishara, who fled the country in 2007, denying the
existence of a “Palestinian” nation. People should really investigate the basic
claims of the Middle East conflict before expressing strong opinions. (It
is time for Jews to realize and respect our own rights and fight for them!)
Line
Must be Drawn. Students and future IDF soldiers have written a
letter to PM Netanyahu opposed to the prisoner exchange for soldier Gilad
Shalit: ''In spite of the pain, we believe that a state that loves life must
not give in to terrorists and must not bow to emotional blackmail'' (A
state must not negotiate with terrorists! To put an end this bizarre situation,
Israel has only one option – release Jewish land, Gaza, from its terrorist
enemy population.)
Quote of the
Week: "During the Holocaust, all the nations of the world
(untruly) claimed they did not know about the death camps and today they all
know and hear that Iran on one hand and Hamas on the other wants to
destroy us, if they all know, why is the world so silent?" - Meir Rosen, former Israeli ambassador to the United
States and France. - They
are not silent now! The UN, the US and the EU, as well as other ‘small’ oil
hungry bigots, have been passionately and actively supporting Islamic attempts
to destroy Israel!
Arabs
Throw Stones at Fire-fighters. Fire-fighters
responding to an alarm in Shuafat in Jerusalem were pelted by rocks thrown by
Arabs. The fires were set by warring gangs in the area; one Arab was killed in
the massive gang fight, involving hundreds of Arabs. Two apartments and a gas
station were on fire. (They may kill each other if
they must - like in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan – but please remove this hateful
trash from Jewish land)
European
Funding of anti-Zionist NGOs in Israel. 16 Israeli
NGOs received a total of about $8 million, in European funding between the
years 2006 and 2009: B'Tselem, HaMoked and Yesh Din each received about $1
million, B'Tselem about $3 million. (I am still ‘waiting’ for their support of my publication :)
Hypocricy of the
Headlines.
"Abbas: Netanyahu chose occupation over peace" – Haaretz.com – This idiotic headline was invented by an
Israeli leftist publication and has been propagated all over the world by
willing idiots. The headline has nothing to do with the context of the article,
where Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez charged that Israel aims to “terminate
the Palestinian people”. Why do those self-hating thugs in Haaretz not write a
headline: “Abbas has never abandoned terrorism and has only the destruction
of Israel in mind”?
We
Must Let Them all Go. Last year set an all-time record for the
number of Arab residents of East Jerusalem who were stripped of residency
rights by the Interior Ministry. Altogether, the ministry revoked the residency
of 4,577 East Jerusalemites in 2008. An interior ministry said an investigation
uncovered thousands of people listed as East Jerusalem residents but were no
longer living in Israel. 250,000 Arab residents of East Jerusalem have the same
legal status as people who immigrated to Israel legally but are not entitled to
citizenship under the Law of Return.
Ugly Silence Still Persists!
Once
again, the real news in France is
conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what's
going on in that country where there are now between 5 and 6 million Muslims
and about 600,000 Jews, here is an E-mail that came from a Jew living in
France.
Nowhere
have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France. In Lyon,
a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire. In Montpellier, the Jewish
religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourgand
Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in
Creteil - all recently. A Jewish
sports club in Toulouse was attacked with Molotov cocktails and on the statue
of Alfred Dreyfus, in Paris, the words 'Dirty Jew' were painted.
In
Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with ticks and metal
bars. The bus that takes Jewish children to school in ubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14
months.
According
to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER
DAY in the past 30 days. Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been defaced with
slogans proclaiming 'Jews to the gas chambers' and 'Death to the Jews.' A
gunman opened fire on a kosher butcher's shop (and, of course, the butcher)
inToulouse, France. A Jewish couple in their 20's were beaten up by five men in
Villeurbanne, Fran ce (the woman was
pregnant). A Jewish school was broken into and vandalized in Sarcelles, France. This was just in the
past week." (Similar
letters of outcry about abuse and violence against Jews could easily be written
from Britain, Russia, Ukraine or Australia! The press has been deliberately
ignoring or minimising the ugliness of these attacks. Police and the justice
system are unwilling to prosecute Islamic perpetrators and are even apologetic
to the Muslim community while investigating terror related cases.)
