INFO ABOUT THE FLOTILLA FASCISTS
and WHAT ISRAEL REALLY DID, AND WHEN, AND WHY
6/6 UPDATE: Look at the "peaceful" "activists" welcoming the Israeli soldiers - such brazen monsters, the barbarians took pictures of the soldiers who were (briefly) captured, presumably to use to back up demands that were to be made of Israel. 6/4/10 UPDATE: SITE FOR MORE INFO http://www.talkgaza.com/
6/2 UPDATE: PM Netanyahu speaks on the world's response to the IDF's LEGAL, RATIONAL operation on the Mavi Marmara http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUG12kU8-jE "We will never apologize for defending ourselves." YES!!! That's what Israel needs to keep saying, over and over. It's true and we should NEVER be ashamed of it.
All of us on Z STREET:
It is our job to share the key messages regarding the Gaza Flotilla violence with everyone we know. Send on this info, pick a few facts and write letters to newspapers (there will be many negative articles in the days to come - correct what is incorrect, provide what is correct!), tell friends and not-friends, keep it going. Be relentless - it's our only hope.
Included below are the facts regarding the violence that occurred; the background leading up to it, including the expressed hope of the flotilla organizers that violence would be beneficial to their public relations and the use of children as part of their PR campaign; ithe reasons for the blockade and the provision of humanitarian goods by Israel to the Gazans despite their leaders' continued terrorism against Israel; and the legal support for Israel's actions. We have the essential supporting evidence, including videos, below.
Comments? Questions? Please go to WWW.ZSTREET.ORG and leave your comments so that we all can benefit from everyone’s suggestions and remarks.
#######
* Sunday night the IDF forces boarded an Islamist-controlled flotilla which was bound for Gaza in contravention of the blockade imposed because of the years-long practice of smuggling support for the Gazan terrorist activities directed at Israel.
* Israel left Gaza in hopes of peace in 2005 and in return received more than 10,000 rockets and terrorist attacks.
* The State of Israel approached the organizers of the flotilla – prior to their departure and late, while at sea – and invited them to dock at the Port of Ashdod for the sake of transferring their cargo to Gaza, subject to security inspection. The organizers refused.
* "We fully intend to go to Gaza regardless of any intimidation or threats of violence against us, they are going to have to forcefully stop us," said one of the flotilla’s organizers.
* Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said this week: "If the ships reach Gaza it is a victory; if they are intercepted, it will be a victory too."
* The extremists brought small children on board knowing that they intended to violate international maritime law.
* Passengers on one of the six boats initiated violent clashes.
* While boarding on of the vessels, IDF soldiers were physically attacked with live ammunition and other weapons, including knives and clubs, which had been prepared in advance. A weapon belonging to one of soldiers was snatched and, apparently, a barbarian fired on IDF forces.
* During the course of the incident, when their lives were put in danger, IDF soldiers were compelled to employ means to disperse demonstrations, including live weapons.
* The IDF action was authorized by the Security Cabinet, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense.
* There were nine casualties amongst the flotilla barbarians, and others injured. Seven Israeli naval officers were also wounded. All of the injured were evacuated to hospitals.
* Responsibility for the violence lies with the organizers and participants of the flotilla who initiated the violence.
* The entire flotilla was designed as a media stunt and political provocation by elements that are hostile to Israel, primarily the IHH – a violent, extremist group which supports terrorist organizations under the guise of humanitarian activity.******[VERY IMP. INFO ABOUT IHH BELOW]
* There is no famine or humanitarian crisis in Gaza. http://picasaweb.google.com/mererhetoricblog/GazaTravelGuideShopping?fgl=true&pli=1# The area is under the control of Hamas, a terrorist organization that continues to arm itself with weapons and rockets for the purpose of attacking Israelis – as it has done in the past. Hamas continues to hold captive Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier, in contravention of international law. Accordingly, Israel has the right to inspect all cargo entering Gaza.
* Israel has and continues to express its desire for peace and continues to extend its hand to all those who are willing to participate in moving forwards to true peace.

The Gaza Flotilla and the Maritime Blockade of Gaza
Legal Background –
31 May 2010
1. A maritime blockade is in effect off the coast of Gaza. Such blockade has been imposed, as Israel is currently in a state of armed conflict with the Hamas regime that controls Gaza, which has repeatedly bombed civilian targets in Israel with weapons that have been smuggled into Gaza via the sea.
2. Maritime blockades are a legitimate and recognized measure under international law that may be implemented as part of an armed conflict at sea.
3. A blockade may be imposed at sea, including in international waters, so long as it does not bar access to the ports and coasts of neutral States.
4. The naval manuals of several western countries, including the US and England recognize the maritime blockade as an effective naval measure and set forth the various criteria that make a blockade valid, including the requirement of give due notice of the existence of the blockade.
5. In this vein, it should be noted that Israel publicized the existence of the blockade and the precise coordinates of such by means of the accepted international professional maritime channels. Israel also provided appropriate notification to the affected governments and to the organizers of the Gaza protest flotilla. Moreover, in real time, the ships participating in the protest flotilla were warned repeatedly that a maritime blockade is in effect.
Here, it should be noted that under customary law, knowledge of the blockade may be presumed once a blockade has been declared and appropriate notification has been granted, as above.
Under international maritime law, when a maritime blockade is in effect, no boats can enter the blockaded area. That includes both civilian and enemy vessels.
8. A State may take action to enforce a blockade. Any vessel that violates or attempts to violate a maritime blockade may be captured or even attacked under international law. The US Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations sets forth that a vessel is considered to be in attempt to breach a blockade from the time the vessel leaves its port with the intention of evading the blockade.
9. Here we should note that the protesters indicated their clear intention to violate the blockade by means of written and oral statements. Moreover, the route of these vessels indicated their clear intention to violate the blockade in violation of international law.
10. Given the protesters explicit intention to violate the naval blockade, Israel exercised its right under international law to enforce the blockade. It should be noted that prior to undertaking enforcement measures, explicit warnings were relayed directly to the captains of the vessels, expressing Israel's intent to exercise its right to enforce the blockade.
11. Israel had attempted to take control of the vessels participating in the flotilla by peaceful means and in an orderly fashion in order to enforce the blockade. Given the large number of vessels participating in the flotilla, an operational decision was made to undertake measures to enforce the blockade a certain distance from the area of the blockade.
12. Israeli personnel attempting to enforce the blockade were met with violence by the protesters and acted in self defense to fend off such attacks.

***** IHH was founded in the 1992 and was banned by Israel in 2008 for its affiliation with Hamas and Union of the Good (IHH is a member of Union of the Good, led by Muslim Brotherhood leader Yousef Al Qaradawi who has issued fatwas calling for the killing of Americans and Jews, which was designated by the U.S.) In the late 1990’s, Turkish authorities found that IHH was purchasing automatic weapons from other Islamic militant groups and arrested local officers. According to French intelligence expert Jean Louis-Bruguiere, in the mid 1990’s IHH President Bulent Yildrim aimed to “’recruit veteran soldiers in anticipation of the coming holy war [jihad]. In particular, some men were sent into war zones in Muslim countries in order to acquire combat experience.’” U.S. court documents also reveal that IHH played “[a]n important role” in the Millenium bomb plot.
Judge Jean-Louis Brugiere testified in the Millenium plot that:
“The IHH is an NGO, but it was kind of a type of cover-up in order to obtain forged documents and also to obtain different forms of infiltration for Mujahideen in combat. And also to go and gather these Mujahideens. And finally, one of the last responsibilities that they had was also to be implicated or involved in weapons trafficking.”
IHH has its own office in Gaza, headed by part, Mohammed Kaya, who works with Hamas. Over the past few years IHH has held rallies in Turkey in support of Hamas and its objectives. IHH transfers money to Hamas in the West Bank and Gaza, including the Islamic Charitable Society in Hebron and the Al-Tadhamun Charity Soceity in Nablus (according to a report by an Israeli Intelligence Center). In January 2009, IHH president Bulent Yildirim met with with Khaled Mashal, chairman of Hamas’ political bureau in Damascus.
IHH’s affilation, financial and political support for Hamas is very troubling. Hamas is a U.S. designated terrorist organization, and it is surprising that IHH has not been designated by the U.S. government. Furthermore, IHH works with U.S. groups, such as Viva Palestina (during its 3rd convoy), and now, during the current flotilla, the Free Gaza Movement. This means that U.S. based organizations are working with, receiving support, including monetary support, from an organization that is essentially an arm of a U.S. designated terrorist organization.
May 31, 2010 MUST READ Z ST Bd member Mordechai Kedar, prof. Arabic Studies at Bar-Ilan University, authoritatively explains why "The Battle isn't about Gaza, but rather, about radical Islam vs. liberal West." It really is an Islamist coalition (Turkey, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah) attacking Israel, the Middle East domicile of the liberal Western orientations. This is the cultural-religious battle being waged world-wide, right now. This is the background you must know. And you must educate others, esp. now that Israel is being portrayed (yet again) as the one in the wrong.
May 17, 2010 MUST READ: Prof. Louis Rene Beres, an expert in nuclear weaponry, articulates the horrors that will befall, at the very least, Israel and Iran should Iran complete its rush towards nuclearization. It is nauseating to contemplate, but essential to know. Read "The Waste Land: Israel And Iran After Nuclear War."

Pipes Recipient of First Z STREET Peace Plan Prize
Z STREET awarded Daniel Pipes, the Director of the Middle East Forum and pre-eminent Middle East scholar, its first annual Z STREET Peace Plan Prize for his article, “My Peace Plan: an Israeli Victory.” Z STREET is a staunchly pro-Israel organization.
In his article Pipes explains that throughout history, what had been intractable conflicts were resolved only when the victor caused his enemy to abandon his war goals.
“Evidence that the Arab Palestinians already know the vision Pipes has is correct is their refusal to abandon their war manifestos, despite years of failed efforts at negotiated results. They are in it for the long haul, waiting until Israel either gives up or is forced to give in by outside influences, specifically by the United Nations or the US administration,” said Lori Lowenthal Marcus, president of Z STREET.
“It is time for those who want a ‘safe and secure’ Israel to face the reality that this conflict will end when one side or the other achieves its goal: for Arab Palestinians that is the end of the Jewish State, for Israel it is a decisive victory that ensures the safety and security of the Jewish State,” continued Marcus, “Z STREET applauds Daniel Pipes for his clarity and his courage in laying out the true path to peace.”
"I am grateful to be chosen as the first recipient of the Z STREET peace plan prize,” said Pipes, “I also look forward to it helping awake Americans to their government's pursuing a futile path toward resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. It's not Israeli 'risks for peace' or 'painful concessions' that will end the dispute but a Palestinian realization that the goal of eliminating the Jewish State cannot succeed."
Z STREET awarded Pipes its $1000 Peace Plan Prize which will be awarded annually for realistic peace plans that are most likely to achieve a permanent Middle East peace.
Z STREET is a non-profit corporation based in Pennsylvania, the mission statement of which is (1) Israel is a Jewish State, and (2) there should be no negotiations with, concessions to, or appeasement of terrorists.

NEVER AGAIN RALLY - April 25, 2010 New York City
The turn out was FANTASTIC - thousands came in the cold and rain. I was so proud to be a part of this event. Z STREET is definitely the correct side of the street when it comes to standing up and shouting out the truth about Israel and our right to a Jewish homeland, and our right to battle our enemies, the jihadis and all haters of Israel, and our right to meet pressure and adversity, with STRENGTH and pride.
The Z STREET message was that everyone who showed up, to speak, to hear, to participate, and all those who eagerly and with great pride followed what was happening in NYC on Sunday April 25th - WE ARE THE CONFERENCE OF LEADERS. Forget about the Conference of Presidents of Conferences...WE ARE IT! And that's great because we know what is true and we know what needs to be done and we are doing it. And Will do it. And we will succeed.
Unlike the Dhimmis on the left who think if they say "Peace Now" peace will roll on in, we are taking matters into our own hands. Instead of "Shalom Achshav," we believe in "CHAZAK ACHSHAV" - strength now! That's how we will survive, that's how we will succeed and that is how we will be sustained.
WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF A HISTORIC BREAKTHROUGH IN ZIONIST STRENGTH!!
Thank you to Beth Gilinsky of the Action Alliance, who pulled it all together.

|99.30.125.xxx |2009-11-18 16:58:25 smokefire - Goings on in Gilo.This was posted on the blogmocracy. Thought it was so good, that I wanted to repost it here.
Enjoy.
As many of you have probably already heard, the Obama administration has decided to make international waves about the decision of the Jerusalem municipality in Israel to approve an additional 900 housing units in Gilo, which is within Jerusalem city limits. Somehow, a municipal decision to approve housing units in the capitol of its country becomes an international incident. Only in Israel!
Gilo
This is typical. I am going to not lay all the blame on Obama here, and it must be noted that Condi Rice had made similar such statements in the past. As is typical, J Street supported Obama, and is against the additional housing in Gilo. (shocka!)
The common theme is that somehow it is “anti-human rights” for Jews to build homes, kindergartens, and nurseries in their capitol city of Jerusalem, which is, lest we forget, the holiest city for Jews, and the city that every observant Jew ...

... the laws described as "Israel's Magna Carta" and then they must bestir themselves to remove Israel's "despotic managers" who ignore the legal basis for Jews to have "a room of their own." If Jews understood the law and the powers it bestows upon Jewish Palestine, they would stop whimpering to Islamics and begging to be "recognized" by them. The law, below, demands of Jews to reclaim ALL their lands. Including most of Jordan. We say: Be not afraid! Whatever foolish decisions made by Israel's past leadership can be undone and all this requires is leadership by strong people who will not bend to bribery, bullying, or threats ... and who dare to be daring.

Lionhearts: Heroes of Israel.
Edited by Michael Bar-Zohar.
It is a collection of short stories about the heroes of Israel. I have only one word for this book
WOW.
If you have read it, read it again, if you never read it, get it. Yeah, it's a little old, but WOW, this book reads like nothing I have ever read. Unreal stories. Renews your faith like nothing I have ever read.

The article on the number of people who attended each event and the fact that a Zionist event is much more attractive to the Jewish community than J Street is truly heartening.
And Chana, please know that there are many, many people in the U.S., both Jews and Christians, who truly support Israel and work tirelessly to spread the word. We definitely do not receive as much media attention as we deserve, as the small number of Israel/Jew haters apparently makes a better 'story', but I believe that we are truly the 'silent majority'.

Iam thankful there are websites such as these to counter the mindless dribble spewed out by these liberal websites, newspapers etc.. However Iam afraid that it might be all for nothing. For , for all the calls for truth will fall on deaf ears. For we are in an age where information is at the stroke of a keyboard key, yet with the truth staring these anti- zionists( semities) in the face they still do not accept the plain facts. The Palestinians deserve a country 100% and as a matter of fact they have one and it is called JORDAN. They tried annexing additional territory ( from modern Israel) in a series of wars and failed each time, now they wish to do diplomatically what they could not do with war.

Your outrage against Obama's criticism regarding 1600 houses is well taken, but where were you last week when Obama denounced Israel''s naming the Cave of Machpela as a National Heritage site. This was a far more aggregious insult against Israel by Obama than the issue regarding houses in Jerusalem.
The Cave houses most of our Patriarchs and Matriarchs, the founders of our religion and our nation. Obama's denunciation of this was slap in the face of every Jew in the world.

Palestinians know that they have to capitulate, and that all talks will lead to that. All there is to negotiate is some form of face saving for them. Therefore, they are not interested in talks. So they took this benign, but strategic and perfectly timed and pointed building decision to spin it as a factor incriminating Israel instead.
And this anti-semitic White House adopts this position as theirs.
No way.

Ms. Marcus & I are friends with a strong common bond. Our mutual committment to the Jewish Community here in the US & in Israel
As moderator of a mailing list with over 2,000 subscribers, I am pleased to publish much of what Ms. Marcus writes.
President Obama, once & for all, proved to everyone that he has no allegance to Israel. It should be noted that Israel remains the most stable aly the United States has in the region.
He had his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Call Mr. Netanyahu for 45 mintes and chastise him over an inocent mistake.
The American Jewish Community must let our legislature (both the Congress & US Senate) that we are displeased, and that we will take decisive action- and vote for people who support our community.

The mixed messages delivered by Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, followed by Clinton's demand that "Israel must prove its commitment to peace," are no way for the United States to treat its closest Middle Eastern ally - while NEVER making ANY demands of the Palestinian Authority (which, in addition to kidnapping Gilad Shalit from Israeli territory and holding him incommunicado for over three years, continually conducts hostile missile attacks against Israeli civilians).
To date, the PA has offered nothing in the way of a token gesture indicating any interest in negotiating in good faith for peaceful co-existence alongside Israel as part of a two-state solution. This necessarily raises the larger question: Whom exactly does Hillary think "Israel must prove its commitment to peace" TO ?
Remarkably, those who insist on a two-state solution fail to recognize that they endorse an apartheid Palestinian...

There is absolutely no question that Jews should be able to live anywhere they want, most especially anywhere in Eretz Yisrael. To knuckle under to threats from Arab & Muslim "leaders" is to return to the days of the stooped-over Jew, just trying to get down the street without being noticed. We are finally, after 2,000 years of that nonsense, in our own country and will NEVER return to those bad-old days!
The Obama Administration already AGREED (October 2009) to our continued building in Jerusalem. These current demands are ONLY to fuel and undergird Arab protests and do all the US Administration & State Dept. can to disturb Israel's vibrant economy and dynamic life!
This is nothing new - we need to stand strong against these demands and continue to live our life in Israel as we know how...

|71.185.172.xxx |2010-03-18 05:03:15 Moshe Brody - The Game Obama is PlayingIt's one of the games out of psychiatrist Eric Berne's classic Games People Play (1964), called "Now I've Got You, You Son of a Bitch". The aim is self-justification, the dynamics is rage, and the advantage is the avoidance of having to confront self-deficiencies.
The game involves parent-child psychology and goes like this:
Obama: "I've been watching you carefully, hoping that you'd make a slip."
Netanyahu: "You caught me this time"
Obama: "Yes, and now you're going to feel the full force of my fury."
Berne advises being very careful around people who play this game. Israel should avoid contact with Obama and his administration as much as possible.
Obama says he won't meet with Netanyahu or other Israeli officials until Israel makes concessions (e.g., cancel the building in Jerusalem, release imprisoned Palestinian terrorists, etc.). This is perfect. Israel should go ahead with the construction, and avoid any further contact with Ob...

undivided capital of Israel since 1967, to the state of affairs from 1948 to 1967 under Jordanian sovereignty. The city is now fully
accessible to people of all faiths and all holy sites are protected. Tourism is flourishing and most of all Jewish life is vibrant and thriving.
To return to the former condition would be a crime of major proportions. It goes without saying that Jewish development should
not be hindered. The only proper authority in Israel is that of the
Knesset and the Israeli people.

|71.185.172.xxx |2010-03-18 04:50:38 Augusta Fuma - Jews have a right to buiild anywhere in JerusalemHow is "East Jerusalem" defined by the those who opose the building of Jewish homes? Does it mean everything that was not part of Israel before the 1967 war?
If this is the definition, then it includes established Jewish neighborhoods such as The Jewish quarter of the old city, the Western wall, Talpiot, Ramot, Malee Adomim, The French quarter, etc. People live, work, play, raise their children, lead normal lives. Like any city, it expands as the population grows. This ban is simply absurd.
A capital of a palestinian state in these districts will mean subjecting the Jewish population of the "Western Jerusalem" to atacks, shells, bombings, turning a normal, bustling, happy city into a war zone, a situation similar to what's hapening in Sderot.
How can any rational Israeli agree to such a deal?

4international believes that Obama is either a Muslim antisemite or a pro Muslim antisemite, but he is joined in the present government by other clearly antisemites SOME OF WHOM ARE JEWISH ANTISEMITES. Their whole programme is to make Israel in to a scapegoat, and to stir up antisemitism in the world.
We do not hear any of this in the Media.
I listen often to the BBC World Service early in the morning so I get the general drift of their method and editorial line.
Somebody could do a good service by following and exposing this BBC
As I remember over past days they featured first up stories such as David Beckham hurting his heel! and this morning some weird story about a child who lives in one of those Jihadist ghettoes in England, especially mid England, being kidnapped or something. But the child was in Pakistan. And a ransome was paid in Paris. And some people are arrested in Spain; it is weird; the main thing is that this minor story leads off the BBC.
So turn to a ...

BHO consistently praises our enemies and berates our allies, and is destroying our nation's economy and private sector. I am embarrassed, frustrated, angry, and deeply saddened by this.

Iran gets special treatment while Israel is treated like a rogue state.
We must be resolved; we must support Israel in any way we can so it remains strong. We must make the entire world, not only the USA, understand that Israel is a sovereign nation, among the world nations, and is the proprietor of its land and no one, not even the USA will kick it, undermine and demonize it, like the world got accustomed to treat Jews for 2000 years. This anti-Semitism from Obama and the State Department must fall on deaf ears and Jews must continue developing their country and provide homes for their citizens. Jerusalem is not for sale, not for division and it is not a component in any negotiations with the Arabs, Jerusalem will remain the undivided Capital of the Jewish State of Isr...

Israel should be able to build anywhere in Jerusalem it wishes.

Jerusalem has belonged to the Jews for hundred of years. Attempts have been made to conquer Jerusalem many times by foreign powers. Its Temples were destroyed and the city plundered, but it remained a Jewish Capital, and the Bible coroborates these historical events, and has throughout the Old and the New Testaments reiterated its Jewish roots and it being the Capital of the Jewish people, with Temples where Jews worshipped their Almighty God, where according to the New Testament a Saviour preached , and according to the Old Testsment a Saviour is yet to come, and a way of life of the Jewish people had its impact upon the world socially and religiously, and Israel was the Promised Land of the Jewish people, by God, so why now are there doubts by anyone? Jerusalem is and will always belong to the Jewish people and should be recognized as such. Hate the believers. Hate, hate, hate, but facts remain and Jerusalem is Jewish and the Capital of the Jewish State.

The Jews are a barometer of society; the test case of discrimination. When no nation wants them, ehen they are killed, when they are accused of having unusual powers, when they are held to an unattainable standard, the rest of the world should be alarmed. You are next.

|76.98.26.xxx |2010-03-19 16:30:18 Rodney ElkinI guess the problem is that the Obama administration doesn't consider all of Jerusalem to be Israeli, only part of it. The president has no problem when it comes to disrespecting loyal friends. On the other hand, criticizing an enemy seems to make him really uncomfortable. Instead of focusing on where Jews build homes in their own country as an "obstacle to peace," why doesn't he focus on the eternal Arab desire to destroy Israel. The Arabs did not want the State of Israel to exist, from the time before there even was a state right up to the present. Israeli homes in their capitol city are not what stands in the way of peace. Rather it is the continuing refusal by the Arabs/Palestinians to recognize that the Jewish People have any right to their own country. Until that changes, there will never be peace, no matter how many concessions the Israelis make, or how much money the international community donates to help those "poor palestinians." In fact, even if we...

In such manner this president weakens our ally and strengthens our enemies. While appeasing Hitler, Chamberlain did not turn his back on allies, whereas President Obama not only appeases Iran, Syria, the Palestinian authority but also turns his back on Israel and slights Great Britain--America's 2 most reliable allies.

He also did not order the bombing of the railroad tracks on which the Jews were deported to Auschwitz.

It's been quite obvious that they were looking for a reason to attack Bibi and the Israeli government. Interesting that B Hussein's been slapped in the face time and again by the Palestinians (as well as Iran, Syria and turkey) and he's never thrown a tantrum or said a negative word about them or sicked the hussy Clinton to read him the riot act.
Double standard and enough's enough. Israel and Israelis have the right to live anywhere in Israel and that of course includes all parts of Jerusalem.

Why has no one voiced this as a more viable option? After all, are they not co-religionists?? Why does the U.S. and the UN harangue, insult, and pressure Israel to concede, to compromise, and to give up, when absolutely nothing is said to neighboring muslims countries that, perhaps, it is they who should concede territory? Something is very wrong with this picture! If the 'poor, displaced palestinians' wanted their own country, they could have had it long ago, were it not for their pathological insistence that Israel disappear!

Obama sat and absorbed Wrights vile sermons for twenty years without objection, just as he listened attentively to the rantings of his past and probably present anti Semitic friends and acquaintances.
He, like the Arabs, is constantly inventing ways and means of demonstrating "outrage" at every move and word and breath emanating from Israel.
His disgracefully shameful display of obsequiousness when he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia proved at the beginning of his presidency where his true loyalties lay.
Americans and in particular American Jews were dazzled by his rhetoric. He spoke well but in reality said nothing. I hope they wake up in time to prevent a great disaster.

1 For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of my people, my heritage Israel; whom they have scattered among the nations. They have also divided up my land.

There might not have been this brouhaha, had the announcement not come during Biden's visit.
BUT, having read the statement above, I think the statement is right on target. We Jews and Israelis should not be afraid to build in our capitol; we should not be afraid to express our outrage at discriminatory behavior no matter the source!
We should take heart and take a stand and speak up!

They have the right to protect themselves from their enemies. They have the right defend their land, to live in Peace, they have the right to live. If this current administration continues on this path, against Israel, I will choose Israel.

How is it that no one ever even mentions that the Palestinians and all the Arab regimes insist on being completely "judenrein". That seems to be ok with Pres. Obama etc. as though that is the proper way to deal with mere Jews.
During the 19 year of Jordanian occupation all Jewish houses of worship were destroyed and that too is overlooked because it seems to have been the "properr" way to deal with mere Jews. Even the ancient cemeteries were desecrated and all the grave stones used for paving side walks and even latrines with the usual sinence of our "friends".
We all know that there was never a Palestinian people, but in order to help destroy the Jews they invented a "poor opressed" Palestinian people. Stop your destructive prejudices and stop trying to annihalate us! Since...

This land was given to them in and Eternal Covenant and Eternal means Eternal, FOREVER from G-d. If any government tries to come against this they will be coming against the G-d of Israel.

The very idea of a strumpet like Hillary Clinton expressing disgust at Jews building in Jerusalem! This isn't chutzpah! This is the lowest form of predatory desecration. Law, as devolved by the Free World, has based itself intuitively upon Torah and yet, the USA applies Taqiyya to reassure Israel while serving Islam!
Sadly the US is beneath contempt. Even sadder is the reality - this public combining of EU, UN, US against Jewish habitation is Israel is a frank declaration of War. This comes as no surprise! The Prophets placed us where we are today in their visions millennia ago. We know the script from here.

HaShem made promises to us in Ezekiel 45-48. We are yet to occupy all this land, but some day we will. And since 1948 we have been back starting to fulfill these promises. Whatever they try to do, HaShem will make it happen that we occupy what He has promised us.

|64.12.116.xxx |2010-03-22 13:58:42 Arthur H. Mensch,M.D. - Never AgainSeventy some odd years ago the Jews of Europe were placed in harm's way by a world that was at best apathetic and at worst openly hostile. No nation including this one, the U.S., lifted a finger to forestall the impending Holocaust. Except for the Dominican Republic the gates to salvation for those who tried to flee were slammed shut.
To our discredit the American Jewish community did precious little to speak out and protest to our government on behalf of our European brothers and sisters.
Now again the Jewish nation in the State of Israel is in jeopardy and the world sits by and even adds fuel mto the fire. What is worse is that in the U.S. we have an administration that is openly hostile to Israel in spite of their statements otherwise. Expecting the Jews to constantly give without anything in return, without insisting that the Arabs give up incitement and their sworn committment to Israel's destruction the Obama administration has shown its true colors.

Obama has decided to betray its ally Israel, and the Jewish people,

Israel and hatred of Jews for political gain. Obama proposes to
make anti-Semitism the new patriotism of the Left. Express your
outrage to the White House and every member of Congress.

1. In a radical change in U.S. policy, Obama has decided to
appease Arab tyrants by endangering Israel and humiliating the
Jewish people. He has decided to viciously attack Israel for
building in its own capital, something it has every right to do,
calling the move an "insult". He has deliberately decided to
humiliate Israel, by having Clinton deliver a public tongue lashing
to Prime Minister Netanyahu, and he now seeks to impose humiliating
concessions on Israel.

The wicked demand for hundreds of thousands of Jews to be made homeless - kicked out of Biblical Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem because Jews don't belong to Islam. And if Jews don't obey American ruling elites, Jews will be punished - the U.S. will withhold from Israel, weapons desperately needed for Israel's defense.
The US/EU have chosen the side of Muslim jihadists. PLO/PA Fatah leader, Abbas, immorally respected by the US/EU, financed the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games.

Settlement is for dust. During this season of Pesach, let's eliminate that word from our vocabulary just as we clean out the chametz.
Language has shaped the debate: I echoe Benjamin Netanyahu's statement: Jerusalem is not a settlement. Furthermore, Israeli citizens are not "settlers" they are heroes on the front lines fighting for the same thing that our brave U.S. soldiers are fighting for: the right to live wherever we want and to - without persecution - even in New York and Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel now and will be forever. The govt of Israel should be the only one to decide what to do in Jerusalem. I am appalled that the USA is quote unquote Israel's ally but always sides with the Arabs. Jlem was never the capital of any Arab entity. They became interested only after Israel captured the city from the Jordanians. The USA and the EU dumped thousands of dollars for the Palestinians (perpetual refugies) and all what they succeeded in building is an entity full of hatred and terrorists galore.
The world should be grateful for the only country in the Middle East who is fighting terrorists, the state of Israel.
