Triumph or Blunder of Democracy.
by Steven Shamrak.
This letter was sent to the “Australia Jewish News”
newspaper.
It could be said that the fact that 128
Jews have been able to create yet another Jewish organization dedicated to
criticizing Israel is a tribute to the triumph of democracy in Australia.
I have been publishing an Internet
editorial for over five years, covering the Arab-Israel conflict from a Jewish
national prospective and promoting the ideas of the original Zionists.
Throughout all of this time, not one of my many critics has been able to name
even one Muslim/Arab organization which would openly and completely support
Israel’s right to exist. Not one, anywhere in the world!
I have been trying, with little success,
to form a Jewish group in support of true Zionism in Australia but anti-Israel
organizations, driven predominately by Jews, are popping up like mushrooms. It
is amazing how many Jews seem to be willing to provide moral support to the
enemies of the State of Israel in particular and the Western world in general.
Why should this
democratic right of freedom of expression only be limited to the right to
criticize Israel? Why is Israel blamed for the problems that were created by
Arab/Muslim countries with the enthusiastic assistance of a hypocritical
International community? Why are most Jews, who are living in democratic
countries, still scared, and unable to proudly and openly support the Jewish
national liberation movement – Zionism?
Quote of the Week:
"This country exists as the fulfillment
of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account
for its legitimacy." - Golda Meir, Le Monde, 15 October 1971.
PA
Platform a Declaration of War. The PA new platform claims that acts of
terror against Israel are a “legitimate right,” and says that violence will
continue. Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman said that the goal of
the new PA leadership is clearly the destruction of Israel. (Our
enemies still retain the same goal as 58 years ago. It is time for Israel to
return to her original Zionist aspirations! Negotiation with, and appeasement
of the enemy does not work, specially for Jews.)
Enemies
in the Government. Minister of Science, Culture and Sport, Raleb
Majadele, Israel’s first Arab Muslim minister, is unwilling to sing Israel’s
national anthem, HaTikva. Majadele said he does not believe that “enlightened
and sane Jews” would request a Muslim to sing a song which speaks to the Jewish
people. (When will we stop the appeasement of
our enemies and start to do what is right for the Jews and the Jewish state?
Our enemies must be removed!)
Arab
Double Talk. Mahmoud Abbas urged an end of the world boycott
against the PA government. At the same time Incoming Palestinian PM Haniyeh
vowed to uphold “all forms of resistance” to Israel. Norway has rushed to be
the first Western country to re-establish political and economic ties. (Nothing
has changed. This new government just creates an opportunity for the enemies of
the Jews to justify their support for the enemies of Israel! Norway is still
hiding its involvement and co-operation with Nazi Germany!)
Talking Straight: Arabs’ Plan for the
Destruction of Israel. Hamas-controlled television
is broadcasting a statement by the group’s late leader Ahmad Yassin several times
a day saying Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza is the key to the destruction of the
entire Jewish state: “When this process will end, they will become a state with
no ability, helpless. They established a state to protect the Jews from death
and murder. If death and murder chase them in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Netanya and
everywhere among them, then they will say: 'What am I doing here? I founded a
state to protect me from death, and if death chases me, I want to flee and go
back to Europe and America.'” (Sometimes they are speaking the truth. We just
have to learn to listen.)
Jewish Contribution to Humanity:
An Israeli
company Environmental Energy Resources (EER) has developed a new technology
that is supposed to safely dispose of radioactive waste. The toxic waste is
turned into a highly ionized gas, broken down, solidified, melted and vitrified
- forming a solid glassy environmentally benign material when cooled. EER says
the process is economically and environmentally superior to all other waste
disposal methods such as landfill and incineration.
Adding Enemies by Stupid
Politics. As a result of Olmert's consideration of Saudi peace
plan, Libya threatens to deport Arab Palestinian refugees to Gaza. Country may
deport thousands of Arab Palestinian refugees in protest of what Libyans
believe is an Arab plan to concede Palestinians' right of return in framework
of Saudi peace plan.
Europe is
still the Enemy of Jews. Javier Solana said a week ago that he
believes (he must missed history lesson of illegal deal made in 1922) the Golan
rightfully belongs to Syria. Solana, who handles foreign policy for the
European Union, made the remark after he met with Syrian President Bashar
Assad. The EU supports Syria's goal of regaining the Golan Heights from Israel,
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said after meeting President Bashar
al-Assad on Wednesday. "We would like to work as much as possible to see
your country Syria recuperate the territory taken in 1967," he said. (Why
does this not surprise us? Since 1948 Europe has been using Arabs in the
continuation of its ‘sacred’ goal – the extermination of the Jews!)
Nationwide
Emergency Drills. Schools nationwide held drills on Thursday to
practice for an enemy attack. Students practiced running into bomb shelters and
remaining calm. (It seems that another war is coming. I
hope that this time Israel will be ready to end the conflict once and for all!)
In
Accordance With PA Platform. The same day that Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah
group signed onto a joint platform with Hamas, Fatah’s Al Aksa Brigades group
fired five Kassam rockets toward Israeli towns in the western Negev. Rockets
were aimed at Ashkelon, Sderot and the resettled community of Elei Sinai, whose
residents were expelled by the government from northern Gaza almost two years
ago. (Just because the Fatah group calls itself secular, its
members are no lesser terrorists!)
Silencing
Democracy. Israel’s Supreme Court convicted two minors who took
part in anti-expulsion protests prior to the implementation of the
Disengagement Plan and the destruction of Jewish towns in Gaza and northern
Samaria. The Supreme Court overturned the lower court’s decision Thursday,
convicting the two teens of endangerment of life on a traffic thoroughfare. The
Jerusalem District Court ruled earlier that the two were guilty, but not
deserving of punishment beyond court-imposed classes on democracy. (It
is Israel’s left-infested, corrupt judicial system which needs to take “classes
on democracy”. The Disengagement Plan protesters were living it!)
End Proselytizing in Israel!
A growing number of messianic churches, which
are presenting themselves as Jewish congregations, are targeting Ethiopian
Israelis in Israel. Recent Ethiopian olim, like those from the former Soviet
Union before them, are easy prey for Christian missionaries. They come to
Israel with little knowledge of Judaism; most practiced some form of
Christianity in Ethiopia.
Some veteran Ethiopian Israeli leaders are
warning that the ongoing Ethiopian aliyah is making matters worse, bringing to Israel
many Christians. “Today the aliyah of the Falash Mura has turned into a
business,” said Rabbi Yitzhak Zagay, an Ethiopian Israeli rabbi in Rehovot and
director of the National Committee of Ethiopian Jews. “…not all those coming
are Jews. There are those who buy a Jewish identity…” Zagay said. “The rich
children of Addis Ababa prey on the Falash Mura and pay them to marry them, get
to Israel, then divorce them and try to bring the rest of their families.
(This unholy missionary business in Israel must be shut down! Not long ago, over 100,000 non-Jews from the former Soviet Union were allowed migrate to Israel. The un-Jewish attitude of the government, inaction and public apathy permits the repetition of the same stupidity. It is time to deport all of them from Israel for violating and abusing the Law of Return.)
