Column One: The truth hurts By CAROLINE B. GLICK, The Jerusalem Post

The only parties whose lot is improved by the Obama administration’s
Middle East policies are Iran, the PLO and the Muslim Brotherhood.

To hear it from the White House, and from Israel’s leftist media,
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon is a major liability. As half the
planet now knows, Ya’alon is harshly critical of US Secretary of State
John Kerry’s persistent efforts to force Israel to surrender its land
and ability to defend itself to the PLO.

In a private conversation that Ya’alon did not expect to be made
public, he criticized Kerry’s so-called security plan that offers
Israel advanced technology in exchange for PLO control over its
eastern border. Ya’alon also rejected the notion that the PLO is
interested in making peace. And he stated the inconvenient fact that
PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas is only in power because Israel has security
control over Judea and Samaria.

Ya’alon also said, again in a private conversation, that Kerry’s
razor-sharp focus on Israel and the PLO owes to an “incomprehensible
obsession,” and that by neurotically pushing for a deal that has no
chance of being concluded or achieving peace, Kerry is exhibiting
“messianic” character traits.

Ya’alon’s private statements about Kerry were no harsher than public
statements that the Saudis have made regarding the Obama
administration’s regional policies. Last November, journalist Jeffrey
Goldberg interviewed Saudi Prince Alaweed bin Talal. According to
Goldberg, the Saudi royal attacked US President Barack Obama “with a
directness that would make Benjamin Netanyahu blush.”

Among other things, Alaweed said, “There’s no confidence in the Obama
administration doing the right thing with Iran. We’re really concerned
– Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Middle Eastern countries about this.”

Alaweed questioned Obama’s motives in negotiating with Iran, saying
the president is “wounded,” and appeasing Iran in order to win back
the support of Democratic lawmakers who oppose Obamacare. In his
words, “Thirty-nine members of his own party in the House have already
moved away from him on Obamacare. That’s scary for him.”

It is hard to think of harsher criticism than Alaweed’s. And yet, the
administration had nothing to say about it. Neither he, nor his fellow
Saudi prince Bandar Bin Sultan al-Saud, the Saudi intelligence chief
who said last month that he is scaling back intelligence cooperation
with the US, was personally attacked by the administration.

No umbrage was taken at their statements.

And again, their public statements were no less harsh than what
Ya’alon said in a private conversation about Kerry.

Neither the Israeli people, nor the US’s traditional Sunni Arab allies
support Obama’s policies in the region. They believe Obama’s policies
are dangerous for them, and antithetical to US interests.

Indeed, Ya’alon’s assessments of the administration are not only in
line with regional opinion, the vast majority of Israelis share his
views.

According to a poll published last week by Makor Rishon, 80 percent of
Israelis think that Kerry’s peace plan has no chance of bringing
peace. Seventy-three percent oppose his security plan for the Jordan
Valley. And 53% object to the entire premise of his talks – that
Israel should surrender almost all of Judea and Samaria to the PLO.

Moreover, the average man on the Israeli street sees the destruction
wreaked by the Obama administration’s policy throughout the Middle
East, and he cannot figure out what Kerry wants with us.

Syria is a humanitarian and geopolitical nightmare with global implications.

Rather than do everything possible to strengthen moderate forces in
Syria, like the Kurds, and cultivate, train and arm regime opponents
who can fight both the Assad regime and al-Qaida rebels, Kerry has
devoted himself to demanding that Israel release more Palestinian
terrorist murderers from prison.

Rather than protect Lebanon from the predations of Iran and Syria to
ensure its independence, Kerry is holding marathon meetings with
Netanyahu to try to coerce him into helping the PLO build another
Jew-free terrorist state in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.

Rather than try to blunt the growing power of Hezbollah – Iran’s
terrorist army – in Syria, the US’s policy is inviting Iran, the party
most responsible for the war, to join the phony peacemakers club at
Geneva.

As for the rest of the region, from Tunisia to Bahrain, from Egypt and
Libya to Iraq, and Yemen, Kerry and the Obama administration as a
whole are content to watch on the sidelines as al-Qaida reemerges as a
significant force, and as Iran undermines stability in country after
country.

Then of course, there is Iran itself, and its nuclear weapons program.

After the six-party nuclear deal with Iran was concluded on Monday,
Iran’s leaders declared victory over the US. They boasted that the
most dangerous components of their nuclear weapons program are
unaffected by the deal they just concluded with the Americans. They
laid a wreath on the grave of Hezbollah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh,
who masterminded the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut
that killed 243 US servicemen. And they forced Lebanon’s Sunnis to
accept a Hezbollah-dominated government.

For its part, the Obama administration continues to insist that the
greatest threat to peace is the US Congress, because its members wish
to pass an additional sanctions bill against Iran that would only come
into force in a year if the Iranians do not abide by the agreement.

The only parties whose lot is improved by the Obama administration’s
Middle East policies are Iran, the PLO and the Muslim Brotherhood. But
none of them will praise those policies, because they all hold the US
in contempt.

This is why the Palestinian leadership continues to incite against
Israel and reject the Jewish state even as the US is acting as their
surrogate in talks with Israel.

This is why the Iranians mock the US, even though the White House just
cleared the way for Iran to develop nuclear weapons, and develop its
economy and has allowed it to take over Iraq and Lebanon, and defend
its puppet regime in Syria.

This is why the Muslim Brotherhood condemns the US even as the Obama
administration upended the US alliance with Egypt in order to support
the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Obama administration has responded to these demonstrations of
contempt and bad faith with extreme reticence. Either it issues
written, general condemnations, or it claims, as in the case of
Palestinian incitement, that it doesn’t believe it is productive to
publicly criticize the Palestinians.

Given this behavior, the Obama administration’s response to Yediot
Aharonot’s publication of Ya’alon’s private statements can be fairly
describe as apoplectic. It was also mean-spirited.

Shortly after Yediot published his private remarks, the administration
launched a full-bore public attack on Ya’alon, and by implication, the
government. As White House spokesman Jay Carney put it, “The remarks
of the Israeli defense minister, if accurate, are offensive and
inappropriate, especially in light of everything that the United
States is doing to support Israel’s security needs.”

In other words, the Obama administration just accused Israel of ingratitude.

But there is nothing ungrateful about Israel’s treatment of the US.

Americans are getting the same message from allies throughout the
Middle East. Under Obama, America’s regional policies are so
counterproductive that the US has come to be seen as the foreign
policy equivalent of a drunk driver.

As the US’s strongest ally, and also as a country that has depended
for decades on US support, Israel is a passenger in the back seat of
the car. On the one hand, we are happy for the ride. On the other
hand, the administration’s driving is endangering our survival.

It is only because our leaders are grateful to the US for its support
that the government is going along with Kerry’s ridiculous
peace-processing.

More important, what is gratitude, exactly? Is it shutting up and
watching your closest friend drive both of you over a cliff? Of course
not.

To be a good ally – and a grateful one – requires you to warn your
ally when his actions are ill-advised and dangerous. And that is
precisely what Israel has done. Israel’s behavior is the definition of
proper behavior.

Aside from being dead wrong, the anti-Semitic undertones of the
administration’s castigation of the Jewish state as ungrateful are
hard to miss.

State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki lashed out at Ya’alon
saying, “Secretary Kerry and his team, including General John Allen,
have been working day and night to try and promote a secure peace for
Israel, because of the secretary’s deep concern for Israel’s future.”

These words, and nearly identical ones intoned by Carney, play into
the anti-Jewish stereotype according to which Jews are quarrelsome but
hapless wretches.

The flipside of this stereotype is the all-powerful Jewish conspiracy
that manipulates non-Jews into doing its dirty work. That slur
reverberated strongly in the administration’s condemnations of
Netanyahu and US Jewish groups for advocating the passage of
additional sanctions against Iran.

In both cases, the White House’s message is the same. Unlike other
groups critical of US policies, Israel and supporters of the Jewish
state have no right to speak.

Presumably the administration’s resort to these anti-Jewish tropes is
inadvertent, but the fact that they have been used repeatedly is
deeply disconcerting, and bespeaks, at a minimum, alarming
insensitivity.

Under tremendous pressure from the administration, Ya’alon apologized
for his leaked remarks and Netanyahu took to the Knesset podium to
praise Israel’s ties to the US and thank the US for its support for
Israel.

But this was not enough for the Obama administration.

They want Netanyahu disavow Ya’alon’s thoughts and withdraw the
defense minister from the negotiations.

According to AFP, a senior State Department official said, “We expect
the prime minister to put this right by expressing publicly his
disagreement with the statements against Secretary Kerry, the
negotiations with the Palestinians and Kerry’s commitment to Israel’s
security.”

For his part, Kerry said he will only speak to Israeli leaders who
agree with him. In his words, “I will work with the willing
participants who are committed to peace and to this process.”

In other words, the Obama administration is using Ya’alon’s private
remarks, leaked by an unidentified source to a newspaper with an
anti-Netanyahu editorial agenda, as a means to neutralize the most
powerful voice opposing Kerry’s obsessive, messianic behavior in the
Israeli government. They want to use American umbrage at the tone of
Ya’alon’s private statements to upend Israeli policy and force Israel
to embrace the substance of the Obama administration’s delusional and
destructive actions. And to advance this goal, they are using
anti-Semitic signals to castigate Israel and deny it the right to
speak on its own behalf.

Israelis love America. And for that reason, it is compelled to do what
anyone strapped into the back seat of a car driven by a drunk would
do: try to convince him to stop driving. As a grateful ally of the
United States, Israel should publicly tell the Obama administration
that what Ya’alon said in private is the truth.

And yes, sometimes the truth hurts.

The next issue is Iran...

Iran, Iran , Persia

Haman's descendents are alive and well.

They threaten Israel and the entire Middle East.

The US has and will do nothing. Talk is cheap and that is all the POTUS offers.

Israel needs to continue or start massive targeted assassinations and also to co-ordibate the
Iranian Pro Democracy resistance and provide them with whatever support they need to remove the Mullahs from power.

There is no need to attack the Nuke Program...only the people bastardizing it....\

Next Issue is the Temple Mount...

Israel: A Light Excluded From The Nations

The game is obvious. Whether it still exists due to parents simply passing down Anti-semitism (even when there are no Jews in their country) or because of copy cat haters.

There are so many clear signals that Israel is completely alone.
Many Countries pay lip service for economic reasons, but the truth is ...Israel is NOW alone.

Jonathan Pollard in jail.
The UN's constant Anti-Semitic resolutions.
Israel surrounded by Islamo/Nazi Countries.
Israel denigrated daily by the BBC and England ....the creators of the Land for Jews project.

All this means is that nothing the Isrealis/Jews do can really harm them and that it is far past time to :

Listen to Kahane and act upon his words.

Expel the Arab/Muslim/Nazi's completely from Israel and annex the rest of Biblical Israel.
When this is done and the fences are completed...the US and the world will be shut out.
The war will be over, with a clear winner and loser.

It will then be time for the US and the rest of the World to send the "refugees" back home to Jordan.

This is what I thought the track would be, I was at Sinai and want Israel taken care for G-d correctly.

The easiest and first step is to begin the Arab Expulsions from Israel herself. Then from Judea and Samaria. Then annex and clear out Gaza and annex.

The UN is outdated and should be withdrawn from.
To want Israel and need Israel means we are working for the Moshiach.
This the goal and to perfect the world for G-d.

The next issue....Iran

Jonathan Pollard - America's Anti-Semitism...

It gets harder and harder to ignore what looks like blatant discrimination against a Jewish man who in 1987 pleaded guilty to spying for Israel. How else to explain the U.S. government’s harsh treatment of Pollard?

Of the millions of things that have been said about this case, one fact, for me, stands out the most: The government reneged on the deal it made with Pollard.

This point was flagrantly absent in a recent New York Times op-ed written by M.E. Bowman, a U.S. official directly involved in the Pollard case who continues to defend Pollard’s life sentence.
As Alan Dershowitz responded on the Times’ Web site, “M.E. Bowman fails to tell his readers that when Mr. Pollard entered into his plea bargain, the United States government solemnly represented to the court that a sentence of less than life imprisonment would satisfy the needs of justice.”

Nothing Bowman writes in his editorial explains or even refers to this injustice.

“That solemn representation,” Dershowitz writes, “was the quid pro quo for Pollard’s plea of guilty. It violates both the letter and the spirit of that plea bargain. For Mr. Bowman, who was a justice department official at the time, now to urge that Pollard must serve the life sentence imposed on him by the court despite the government having sought a sentence that Pollard has already completed.”

Breaking bread: Challah as a sign of the times

Breaking bread: Challah as a sign of the times

Peer Challot © 2013 by Heddy Abramowitz

Not that I bake as often as I would like. The best of the local bakeries are so good it seems like a superfluous task.
Bread baking is more than a cold weather thing in Judaism. Flour, water, leavening and eggs, and some spiritual elements are the alchemy that combines to make challah, the traditional braided loaves that are an integral part of the weekly Sabbath (Shabbat) and holiday meals.
It was with those thoughts in mind that I responded to curator, Laura Kruger’s, invitation to tackle the subject of challah for the current exhibit at the Hebrew Union College Museum in lower Manhattan, “The Seventh Day: Revisiting Shabbat.” The exhibit explores contemporary takes on the Shabbat day in art and the catalogue can be viewed here.


I set out to make a personal album of bakeries that are stations in my routine. The four selected photographs culled from that album are on display in the exhibition which is running the entire academic year.
Baking challah in Judaism is not, in itself, an act of religious observance. However, the commandment “to take challah” is one of the three observances that are specifically associated with women in traditional Judaism and is biblical in origin.

Rabbi Meir Kahane HY"D

“Let those who rush to dinners for him at the chic glatt kosher nightclubs or those who through him vicariously live their ‘tough Jewish’ life, remember this. He is a man who is a great general but one who knows little and cares less about Jewish concepts and discipline. Tomorrow he is capable of the most incredible and dangerous turnabouts. And that time the donkeys will bray: How could he have deceived us so? And then they will find themselves another hero.”

How to fight academic bigotry

For decades, the American Studies Association labored in well-deserved obscurity. No longer. It has now made a name for itself by voting to boycott Israeli universities, accusing them of denying academic and human rights to Palestinians.
Given that Israel has a profoundly democratic political system, the freest press in the Middle East, a fiercely independent judiciary and astonishing religious and racial diversity within its universities, including affirmative action for Arab students, the charge is rather strange.

Made more so when you consider the state of human rights in Israel’s neighborhood. As we speak, Syria’s government is dropping “barrel bombs” filled with nails, shrapnel and other instruments of terror on its own cities. Where is the ASA boycott of Syria?
And of Iran, which hangs political, religious and even sexual dissidents and has no academic freedom at all? Or Egypt, where Christians are being openly persecuted? Or Turkey, Saudi Arabia or, for that matter, massively repressive China and Russia?

The Temple Mount - NOW

End this PC nonsense. The Israelis Government needs to control its own land.

The TM.

Israel needs to make it clear that it is a Jewish country.

Israel needs to take control of the Temple Mount and let the Muslims ask for
permission to enter the Mount area.

Denied - They are to be expelled anyway...

If this causes a stir, so be it. Take the Mount over first and then remove the sirens from Israel that ruin the sleep of many Jews. Let the Muslims get text messages like everyone else. Just because they want to live in the stone age doesn't mean everyone does!

Then expel the trash.

Send a clear message that Israel is a Jewish Country.
Take back every Jewish place and let the Muslims shuffle along back to the desert.

Israel Will Never Be Defeated! - Dan sporn

Our condition, in Israel, has never been better than it is now!

Only the television and the media make people think that the end of the world is near.. Only 65 years ago, Jews were brought to death like sheep to slaughter.

NO country, NO army.



Only 60 years ago, seven Arab countries declared war on little Israel, the Jewish State, just a few hours after it was established.


We were 650,000 Jews against the rest of the Arab world. No IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) or Air Force.We were only a small group of stubborn people with nowhere to go.

Remember: Lebanon , Syria , Iraq , Jordan , Egypt , Libya , and Saudi Arabia, they all attacked at once.


The state that the United Nations "gave" us was 65% desert.

We started it from zero. Only 41 years ago, we fought three of the strongest countries in the Middle East , and we crushed them in Six Days. 

Over the years we fought different coalitions of Arab countries with modern armies and with huge amounts of Russian-Soviet ammunition, and we still won.


Today we have a beautiful country, a powerful Army, a strong Air Force, an adequate Navy and a thriving high tech industry. Intel, Microsoft, and IBM have all developed their businesses here.


Our doctors have won important prizes in the medical development field.



We turned the desert into a prosperous land.


We sell oranges, flowers, and vegetables around the world.


We launched our own satellite! Three satellites at once! We are in good company; together with the USA (280 million residents), Russia (220 million residents), China (1.3 billion residents) and Europe ( France , England and Germany 35 million residents). We are one of the only countries in the world that have launched something into space!


To think that only 65 years ago we were disgraced and hopeless.


We crawled out from the burning crematoriums of Europe ..


We won in all our wars.


With a little bit of nothing we built an empire.


Who are Khaled Mashal (leader of Hamas) or Hassan Nasrallah (leader of Hezbollah) trying to frighten? They are amusing us.


As we celebrate Independence Day and Passover, let us not forget what this holy day is all about; we overcame everything.


We overcame the Greeks,


We overcame the Romans,


We overcame the Spanish Inquisition,


We overcame the Russians pogrom,


We overcame Hitler, we overcame Germany and overcame the Holocaust,


We overcame the armies of seven countries.


Relax friends, we will overcome our current enemies.


Never mind where you look in human history. Think about it, the Jewish nation, our condition has never been better than now.


So let's lift our heads up and remember:


Never mind which country or culture tries to harm us or erase us from the world. We will still exist and persevere.


Egypt ? - Anyone know where the Egyptian empire disappeared to?

The Romans? Is anyone speaking Latin today?

The Third Reich? Did anyone hear news from them lately?


And look at us, the Bible nation from slavery in Egypt, we are still here, still speaking the same language. Exactly here, exactly now.

Maybe the Arabs don't know it yet, but we are an eternal nation. 

All the time that we will keep our identity, we will stay eternal. So, sorry, that we are not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing Business here is (fine). It can definitely be much better, but it is still fine. 

Don't pay attention to the nonsense in the media, they will not tell you about our festivals here in Israel or about the people that continue living, going out, meeting friends.


Yes, sometimes morale is down, so what? This is only because we are mourning the dead, while the Arabs and the Moslems are celebrating suicide, spilled blood and death. And this is the reason we will win after all.

New Declassified Docs Expose Obama’s Benghazi Lies


Newly declassified documents reveal that high-ranking members of the Obama administration were aware that the September 11, 2012 assault on the American consulate in Benghazi was a “terrorist attack” only minutes after the battle began. 

In classified testimony given on June 26, 2013 to the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, Gen. Carter Hamm, former head of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) revealed he was the one who broke the news to former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. According to declassified testimony obtained by Fox News, Hamm testified that he learned about the attack only 15 minutes after it began at 9:42 p.m. Libya time. Thus, the administration’s carefully crafted narrative that the attack was based on a video has once again been revealed for the lie it always was.
 
“My first call was to General Dempsey, General Dempsey’s office, to say, ‘Hey, I am headed down the hall. I need to see him right away,’” the General told lawmakers. ”I told him what I knew. We immediately walked upstairs to meet with Secretary Panetta.” Hamm characterized the ability to meet with both men so soon after the attack occurred as a fortunate ”happenstance” because “they had the basic information as they headed across for the meeting at the White House.”

That meeting had been pre-scheduled with the president for 5 p.m. EST. A Defense Department (DOD) timeline notes that the meeting occurred one hour and 18 minutes after the attack began, and even as the battle at the consulate was ongoing. The DOD also revealed that an unarmed drone arrived over the battlefield during that time. As both men revealed in subsequent testimony, the meeting with the president lasted approximately 30 minutes — after which they never heard from anyone in the White House again.
Hamm revealed that he met with Panetta and Dempsey when they returned from that session.

Armed Services Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon (R-CA) was the lawmaker who put Hamm on the spot regarding the administration’s video narrative. ”In your discussions with General Dempsey and Secretary Panetta, was there any mention of a demonstration, or was all discussion about an attack?” McKeon asked. Hamm characterized the discussion of a demonstration as “peripheral,” but noted that ”at that initial meeting, we knew that a U.S. facility had been attacked and was under attack, and we knew at that point that we had two individuals, Ambassador Stevens and Mr. Smith, unaccounted for.”

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), an Iraq war veteran and Army reserve officer, pressed the General more forcefully on the nature of his conversation with Panetta and Dempsey. He expressed his concern “that someone in the military would be advising that this was a demonstration” rather than a terrorist attack. Hamm noted their was some “preliminary discussion” of the point, but emphasized that they were aware of what was really going on. “But I think at the command, I personally and I think the command very quickly got to the point that this was not a demonstration, this was a terrorist attack,” he testified. Hamm also reiterated that “with General Dempsey and Secretary Panetta, that is the nature of the conversation we had, yes, sir.”

Hamm, Dempsey and Carter were not the only ones aware that a terrorist attack was occurring. The declassified transcripts show that key officers, along with several channels of command throughout the Pentagon and its combatants commands, were equally quick to label the assault a terrorist attack.

Can Israel say ‘No’ to the US?

There are some things that are more important even than American goodwill. Survival, I dare say, is one of them.

 Amid reports that US Secretary of State John Kerry is applying mounting pressure on Israel to make significant concessions to the Palestinians, there is an increasingly common refrain that has seeped into our political dialogue which needs to be exposed for the fallacy that it is.

Israel, we are told by various pundits and politicians, has no choice but to go along with American demands.

After all, our relationship with Washington is our greatest strategic asset and we cannot allow anything to get in its way. Hence, whatever America wants, the Jewish state must more or less accept.

Needless to say, such an approach is not only short-sighted and misguided – it is oblivious to history and perilous to our destiny. And the sooner we expose it for the misleading oversimplification that it is, the better off we will all be.

To begin with, Israel is not a vassal state, an American overseas territory or a serf that must cower before his feudal overlord.

We are a sovereign independent nation with our own national and security interests, and while we must surely take into account what our friends and allies have to say, we cannot and must not lose sight of our right and obligation to determine our own fate.

Samaria or the Sea: By Moshe Feiglin


Yesterday, (11-17-13) the Knesset held a special session, with the participation of the PM, on the housing crisis. In my speech, I presented a special report that proves that if the current construction and natural growth trends continue, the land reserved for construction in Israel’s pre-1967 borders will be completely depleted in less than two decades.

Here are two little-known facts:

  1. Every year, demand for new construction equals the size of the city of Ramat Gan.
  2. Over the past seven years, the National Master Plan’s (called TMA 35)
population growth forecast underestimated  Israel’s population growth by no less than 700,000 people. 

In other words, we have a population the size of one and a half Tel Avivs that nobody dreamed of less than a decade ago. This trend, thank G-d, continues.

We can summarize the housing problem with one simple question:
Whose land is this? Does it belong to the People, or to the State?

In a state that enjoys true liberty, the answer is clear – and most of its land is private. In Israel, just the opposite is true. This is what brings about the Israel Land Authority’s mediation, the mad taxation and the impossible heavy-handedness in the authorization and licensing process, which drive the price of housing sky high.

The solution is to enter a process of land privatization and return to its natural owners: the general public. The Land of Israel for the Nation of Israel, just as the Torah of Israel, which demands our liberty, directs.

When we ask whose land this is, we of course touch upon national ownership.  Actually, as reflected in the Special Report, even if we solve all the problems mentioned above, if current trends continue, we will have overflow population in 15 years.

The real solution, and apparently the only intrinsic solution, is to understand that the Land of Israel belongs to the Nation of Israel – both on a private and national basis. The Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel before it belongs to the State of Israel. It belongs to the Nation of Israel and no other nation.

The only viable solution is to build modern, metropolitan housing on the western slopes of the Judea, Benjamin and Samaria regions. These areas are a short commute from Israel’s commerce and industry hub.

So actually we have two choices: Either we understand that the entire Land is ours and we build many more Modi’ins on the slopes of Western Samaria, just one half hour from Israel’s large cities. Or we build in the sea.

My Coffee Break with an Arab MK- Feiglin

“I believe in the person,” said the Arab MK to me. “Not in land.”

I took a sip of my coffee and answered.
“I believe in the connection between the person and the land.”

“And this land that you are talking about – where exactly is it?” asked the MK.
I decided to take a minimalistic approach.
“From the Euphrates to the Nile,” I said and waited.

The MK seemed lost in thought and then surprised me:
“You are right. That’s what it says in our Koran – that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jews.”


“But you are a liar!” the Arab MK continued, surprising me.
“Until now, we have been having a respectable conversation,” I retorted. “Why insult me?”  “Because you are not a Zionist!”
“What does that have to do with anything?” I asked. I agree with some parts of Zionism, with others I agree less. But why do you call me a liar?”

“You are not a Zionist,” the Arab MK insisted. “I saw you saying your prayers before you drank your coffee. You are not a Zionist. I can get along with you – but with the Zionists – I can’t!”
Our conversation had taken a very unexpected turn, and I wanted to be sure that I understood him correctly.

“Perhaps you are confused and think that I am ultra-Orthodox,” I answered. “Listen to me closely. I am all for the Israeli flag – two stripes and the Star of David from the Nile to the Euphrates and you tell me that you can get along with me? But with the Zionists, who are constantly offering you more and more pieces of their land – with them, you can never get along? If Ben Gurion had declared the State within the borders of the Histadrut building – a place that no Arab foot had ever stepped – you would also have attacked there and slaughtered everyone.”


“True,” answered the MK without hesitation. “It is not a question of territory at all. It is a question of substance. 

For an Arab, the word ‘Zionism’ is the most foul of words. The Zionists are colonialists, heretics, white-men who came from Europe and forced themselves upon us. You are something different. We can get along with you.”

I believe the Prime Minister. Binyamin Netanyahu is not Ariel Sharon. He has been honest. He has spoken about the Two State Solution at the most respectable venues in Israel and overseas and has remained firm in his stand. But even if he retreats to the Histadrut building, he will not have peace.

Israel - Apply sovereignty today!

Professor Gil-White – from Mexico: Apply Sovereignty without Delay
During a visit yesterday (Thursday) in the area of Judea, Prof.
Gil-White (Mexico), one of the most prominent proponents of Israel and opponents of a Palestinian state, was shocked by the sight of signs forbidding Jews to pass into Area A and by the Arab takeover of Area C. “I will show the world the truth”, he promised.

A special visitor arrived yesterday (Thursday, January 9, 2014) to the area of Gush Etzion and Judea: Prof. Francisco Gil-White from Mexico, who came to tour in the area together with his wife and a personal friend.

The three were guests of Women in Green, who conduct tours for
dignitaries and groups in the area of Judea and Gush Etzion. The
movement conducts these tours in order to demonstrate to the guests, most of whom are from abroad, the continuing and relentless struggle to guard the lands of the state against the Arabs’ efforts to take over territory and establish facts on the ground illegally and without any real response from Israeli Authorities.

The visitor, Prof. Gil-White, is a professor of Anthropology and
Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. “Prof. Gil-White is not
Jewish”, says Women in Green, “he is a true friend of Israel and among all the deep and diversified research that he has published he also does research on the Arab-Israeli conflict. As a result of his
research on the subject he has arrived at the conclusion that the PLO is rooted in Nazism and the desire to destroy the State of Israel. Many times, Prof. Gil-White has publicly and strongly expressed his opposition to the Oslo Accords and to the establishment of a Palestinian state and he has expressed a clear call to Israel not to give up any of its land”.

Women in Green also notes that Gil-White’s stand, which he expresses without fear on every stage and before any audience, has earned him many enemies and nevertheless he holds fast to his resolute position and stands with Israel. “I am proud to be a defender of Israel”, he says on many occasions.

During the tour Gil-White visited Shdema in the eastern part of Gush Etzion, where he was given a broad review of the importance of the renewed Jewish settlement in the area, which maintains the contiguity between Jerusalem eastern Gush Etzion. Later he came to Netzer, which is west of Gush Etzion, the place where struggles vis a vis Arab trespassers over plantings have become a byword and a milestone in the persistent fight over the Jewish holdings in the area. In Netzer, Prof. Gil-white expressed his sense of identity with the Jewish struggle for the place by planting a tree.

In a number of points along the route of the tour, illegal Arab
building was shown to the guests, building that is nothing but an
inseparable part of the clear Palestinian policy whose goal is to take over the territories of Area C unilaterally, territories that are
defined to be under Israeli military and civil rule in the Oslo
Accords. The problem is not only illegal structures built by Arabs but also an Arab takeover of agricultural land, illegal quarries and other facilities, all funded by anti-Israeli organizations such as USAID.

Prof. Gil-White was shocked to see enormous red signs on the roadside, warning and forbidding Jews from entering Area A. The professor documented these scenes with his camera and promised to show the world the reality that was revealed to him. “They must see these things. No one speaks about it but there really is apartheid in Israel and it is against the Jews!”, said Gil-White.

The guest also took out his camera when he visited the large
communities in the area such as Efrat, and Kiryat Arba Hebron. He says that he intends to produce a public relations film clip from the
photographed material in which he will present his interlocutors and his audiences in the world “that what they call a “settlement” and what they imagine to be a shack with two goats is actually a
flourishing community, with real houses, schools, a commercial center and tens of thousands of Jews”. Prof. Gil-White also photographed the villas, palaces and luxurious buildings that the Arabs build right and  left all over the area in order to show the world that the claim that the Arabs are “poor and unfortunate” is totally unfounded. 

 
The heads of Women in Green end by telling about the final station of the professor’s tour – Hebron. “We finished the tour in Hebron where he became very emotional seeing the heart of hearts of the Jewish people, the place where it all began”.

Prof. Gil-White ended his visit with a call to the People of Israel to
apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria “today”, in his
words. “It is not enough to say that the two state solution is an
unrealistic idea. Sovereignty must be applied without delay, because with every day that passes the Arabs take over your land and soon the entire area surrounding your communities will no longer be in your hands”.

J Street’s Blindness, Mohammed’s Dream and Israel’s Nightmare.

To think that after 1300 years of relentless Muslim attacks, an agreement based on territorial concessions will bring peace is just another J street delusion.

To think that after 1300 years of relentless Muslim attacks, an agreement based on territorial concessions will bring peace is just another J street delusion. 

The New York Times reported on Monday that the group called the American Studies Association (of almost 5000 members), approved a boycott resolution against Israel, by a 2-to-1 margin in an online balloting that concluded Sunday night, with about a quarter of the members voting (1,252). 

The statement cited “Israel’s violations of international law and U.N. resolutions; the documented impact of the Israeli occupation on Palestinian scholars and students; the extent to which Israeli institutions of higher education are a party to state policies that violate human rights,” and other factors. 

The American Studies Association has never before called for an academic boycott of any nation’s universities, said Curtis Marez, the group’s president and an associate professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, San Diego. 

He did not dispute that many nations, including many of Israel’s neighbors, are generally judged to have human rights records that are worse than Israel’s, or comparable, but he said, “one has to start somewhere.” This is only one example in a large and growing campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel.

What Leftists Believe with Respect to Islam and Israel





So the American Studies Association has voted to boycott Israeli academics (based largely on the 'testimony' of the racist communist terrorist "Professor" Angela Davis). Just in case anybody was thinking that leftists sometimes act in a hypocritical way, especially with respect to Islam and Israel, I want to make it crystal clear that this is not the case. As you will see from this list, there is absolutely no inconsistency in what leftists believe.

The Inscrutable Campus and the New Left Background

One of the many frustrations that critics of ideological trends in higher education face is that so many of our audience do not recognize extreme cases as significant to the overall intellectual condition of the campus.  

They hear about Ward Churchill and think, “Boy, he’s a wild one,” and that’s all.  Churchill ran a large “studies” department for many years at a flagship public university, overseeing personnel and curriculum, and prospering in a complex academic machinery, but outsiders don’t register the validation of his outlook and how it might have had a wide local influence.  

Or they think the same thing about the Michigan State creative writing professor who ranted about Republicans who have “raped” our country, and the same thing about the American Studies Association boycott of Israel.  

However heated and forthright are those extremists, they are quickly dismissed as wacky academics, a type that the campus environment has had and will always have, and the best thing to do is to tolerate them when we can and punish them quietly when we cannot, or if the story hits the media, make our punishment so circumspect and deliberative that the administrators look clean and upright.

Five Signs of Hope (Maybe) for Europe

Just a couple of days before Christmas, a customer of the posh London retailer told the Telegraph that a Muslim clerk had refused, albeit politely, to ring up her bottle of champagne because the item offended the clerk’s religious convictions. Confronted with this story, a spokesperson for M&S affirmed that, indeed, out of respect for Islam, the store had a policy of allowing Muslim workers to refuse to serve customers purchasing (for example) alcohol and pork, and to pass these haram customers on to other, less discriminating employees.

Result: a huge public outcry, including a Facebook page promoting an M&S boycott. Within hours, M&S was not only apologizing for its wrongheaded policy but (amusingly) insisting that, in fact, it had no such policy at all, and that in the champagne incident the store’s actual policy had not been properly followed.

Israel and Saudi Arabia: Unlikely Allies

Saudi and Israeli interests have converged more than once before. First, during the Yemen War, Egypt’s dictator Gamal Abdul Nasser sought to sustain the revolutionary republican Yemeni officers who brought down the Hamiduddin dynasty. In the mountains of north and east Yemen, Imam Mohammad al Badr and his royalist insurgent army fought back. In the five-year war (1962-1967) in which the Egyptians committed 70,000 troops (it became Nasser’s Vietnam), the Saudi’s and Israelis, fearful of Nasser’s hegemonic ambitions, helped the royalist forces.

Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institute wrote: “To get more arms to the royalists, the Saudis and their mercenaries turned to another enemy of the Egyptian dictator, Israel. In early 1964, the Israeli intelligence service, the Mossad, made arrangements for the Israeli air force to begin flying clandestine supply missions down the Red Sea from Israel to parachute weapons to the royalists. The mission was approved by the senior leadership in Israel, and the flights were code-named Operation Leopard.” In the years 1964 through 1966, the Israelis flew more than a dozen resupply flights to aid the royalists.

In 1991, during the First Gulf War, Saddam Hussein launched Scud missiles at both Israel and Saudi Arabia, and the two countries found themselves again on the same side. In the 1990’s, Saudi Arabia accepted the permanence of Israel’s position in the Middle East by agreeing to support the Madrid and Oslo peace processes. Now, in the wake of the recent P5+1 Geneva interim agreement with Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program, Saudi Arabian and Israeli interests have found common ground once more. Both nations are critical of the Obama administration’s handling of Iran.

Israel and Saudi Arabia are threatened by the prospect of a nuclear Iran imposing its hegemonic ambitions on the entire region. Israel is facing the missile arsenals of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, both supplied by Iran. The Saudis face similar threats emanating from Iran. Saudi Arabia feels encircled by the Iranian supported Houthi rebellion in Yemen, a Shiite insurrection in Bahrain, the Shiite-led Iraqi regime of Nouri al-Maliki, and in Syria, by the direct intervention of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah.  In Lebanon, a proxy conflict is taking place between the Iran supported Shiite Hezbollah and the Sunni-Lebanese supported by the Saudis. Riyadh is particularly disturbed by Iran’s incitement of the Shiite minority in Saudi Arabia.

A Century of African-American Islam

The year 2013 marks the centenary of the reported founding of the Canaanite Temple in Newark, New Jersey. That was the very earliest form of an indigenous African-American Islam, one completely distinct from normative Islam, the 1,400 -year-old religion from Arabia founded by Muhammad. From this movement came Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan. The century divides into two main eras: inventing a new religion (1913-1975) and moving toward normative Islam (1975-2013). Timothy Drew (1886-1929), an American black who called himself Noble Drew Ali, founded the Newark temple and then, in 1925 another, better verified organization, the oddly named Moorish Science Temple of America. His ideas derived mainly from four unlikely sources—pan-Africanists, the Shriners, Ahmadiyya Muslims, and white racists.

The Palestinian Refugees – Reality Test.

The actual number of the 1948/9 Palestinian refugees was 320,000

The Root Cause Then and Now According to the German Middle East expert, Fritz Grobba (Men and Powers in the Orient, pp. 194-7, 207-8, Berlin, 1957), the 1948 Palestinian leadership, headed by the Grand Mufti, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, wanted to apply Nazi methods to massacre Jews throughout the Middle East. In1941,the Mufti drafted a proposal requesting that Germany and Italy acknowledge the Arab right to settle “the Jewish problem” in Palestine and the Arab countries in accordance with national and racial Arab interests, similar to the practice employed to solve “the Jewish problem” in Germany and Italy. On Nov. 24, 1947, Acting Chairman of the (Palestinian) Arab Higher Committee, Jamal Al-Husseini, threatened: “Palestine shall be consumed with fire and blood,” if the Jews get any part of it. On April 16, 1948 Jamal Husseini told the UN Security Council: “The representative of the Jewish Agency told us yesterday that they were not the attackers, that the Arabs had begun the fighting. We did not deny this. We told the whole world that we were going to fight.”

Artist & Survivor

This is the story of a Holocaust survivor who began her odyssey in Dej, Romania. Chanele Anne Grun Kempler was a teenager when she came to Auschwitz, almost 20 when she immigrated to Montreal and became a famous artist, and 64 when she passed away, alone in her bed, in 1994, on her chest a letter from Yad Vashem informing her that the painting she offered to the organization would be admitted and displayed. She, like most artists, never achieved real success during her brief time on earth, although, some of her paintings sold for close to $10,000. Her tumultuous life before, during and after the war, helped create a body of artwork that covers the war, Jews and the concept of healing. She first began to paint after immigrating to Canada, participating in her first art show in Montreal in 1964. Thereafter, she showed her work in at least one art gallery or public space every year in New York, Paris, and Montreal until 1984.

The ASA Boycott: Academic Freedom for Me, But Not for Thee

Seeming to give credence to Orwell’s wry observation that “there are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them,” the fatuous members of the American Studies Association (ASA) passed a December 15th resolution to institute an academic boycott against Israeli universities.

Admitting that the organization consciously made the decision to ignore the academic transgressions of universities in any number of other totalitarian, oppressive countries which stifle dissent and imprison errant professors, and which might actually deserve to be censured, ASA president Curtis Marez, a University of California at San Diego associate professor of ethnic studies,  said “that many nations, including many of Israel’s neighbors, are generally judged to have human-rights records that are worse than Israel’s, or comparable.”  Nevertheless, he contended, his tendentious organization would focus solely on Israeli institutions, since, as he stated quite tellingly and disingenuously, “One has to start somewhere.”

It was a comment that has garnered universal obloquy, primarily because to accept that the ASA was starting with Israel and would then subsequently call for boycotts elsewhere one would have to believe that this Left-leaning group, academics who Professor Bruce Thornton of California State Fresno has characterized as a “motley crew of Marxists, squishy leftists, radical feminists, deconstructionists, social constructionists, multiculturalists, and other postmodern warriors against patriarchal corporate hegemony,” would of course call for boycotts against other errant university systems in other countries. But Professor Marez hinted that was unlikely, that Israel would be the sole target for boycott, since while “the current resolution answers the call of Palestinian civil society, to my knowledge there has never been a similar call for boycott from the civil society in another country.”

That may well be true, but one has to wonder exactly what was so compelling about Palestinian “civil” society that motivated an academic association to call for an academic boycott—something which such reputable groups as the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), for example, have pointedly and historically denounced as anathematic to higher education.

Israel Trades Terrorists Wholesale

The concept of trading convicted murderers for..well, for anything... is an Israeli innovation. 

Israel routinely trades convicted terrorists for Peace; terrorists for Talks about Peace; and terrorists in return for Israeli hostages, alive and dead. 

Even for Ramadam - Israel routinely releases convicted terrorists. In the current phase, Israel is trading three batches of convicted murderers for building permits in Judea and Samaria.

American Pressure on Israel: What Would Jabotinsky Do?



1885460496

In the wake of continued American pressure on Israel, with John Kerry, the U.S. Secretary of State, scheduled to arrive in Israel this week for his 10th visit in 10 months, Israel debates what comes next.  

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a decision to announce this week that it is promoting building plans for 1,400 settlement apartments, and he has already released over 100 Palestinian Arab terrorists from Israeli prisons. Netanyahu faces intense American pressure to sacrifice and negotiate, endangering Israel, and his political future.
 
Undoubtedly, Netanyahu is strategizing and thinking and wondering what the best course of action for his people is.  Perhaps the answer comes from history.  His father, Benzion Netanyahu, was Ze’ev Jabotinsky’s secretary, and ideological heir. The elder Netanyahu was a lifelong follower of Jabotinsky – who had plenty of modern answers for today’s problems.

"Moses Speaks To Paraoh" "No Retreat No Compromise " - Kahane

“And Pharaoh called to Moses, saying: Go and worship the L-rd. Only your sheep and cattle will remain – your children will also go with you. And Moses said: You will also give us offerings and sacrifices for the L-rd our G-d, and our flocks will go with us…” (Shmot 10:24-26)

The ninth plague-darkness – has struck Egypt with a vengeance and Pharaoh breaks. Step by step he has retreated and after the eighth plague – locusts – he was prepared to allow the Jews to leave except for their children. Now he surrenders almost entirely as he agrees that all the Jews can leave. He only asks one thing, one compromise, one small victory for himself, that the Jewish cattle remain behind.

Consider; the Jews have been slaves for 210 years. They have lived in misery and persecution. They suffered decrees such as the one casting their male children into the sea. They cried out unto the L-rd for freedom and salvation. Now, apparently the great moment has arrived! Pharaoh agrees that they shall go free! What does it matter that he asks for their cattle? Give it to him! The main thing is peace and salvation and we are willing to give up cattle for peace!

But Moses knows that this is not the purpose of the freedom of the Jewish people and of the story of the slavery and exodus. He is not prepared to compromise one inch because he knows what the purpose of G-d is. When Moses first entered the presence of Pharaoh and said: “The L-rd, G-d of the Hebrews, has said: Let my people go!” Pharaoh contemptuously answered: “Who is the L-rd? I know not the L-rd and will not let Israel go!” Here is where the battle was joined. Here is the purpose and aim of creation – to have the world recognize the dominion and kingship of the L-rd being challenged. Pharaoh must be made to recognize and totally acknowledge the sovereignty of the L-rd over him and his people. He cannot make compromises; he cannot strike bargains. He must submit totally!

“And I shall be glorified through (the defeat of) Pharaoh and his army and Egypt shall know that I am the L-rd.” Only the total defeat of the wicked can raise and honor the name of the L-rd, says the Biblical commentator Rashi. This is why there will be no compromise with Pharaoh. He must totally submit, he must totally surrender.

And even when he apparently does this, after the plague of the first born, when he runs to Moses and says: “Get out, take your flocks with you, just leave and ask the L-rd to bless me!” Moses refuses and in the words of the Mechilta; “And he called unto Moses and Aaron in the middle of the night and said: get up and leave! Said Moses unto him: No, we have been ordered not to leave our houses until morning. What are we, thieves that we should slink out in the night? No, we will leave only in the morning with an upraised arm before the eyes of all the Egyptians!”

Not one inch of retreat here. The lesson of the L-rd being the Omnipotent, King of the universe must be seen and acknowledged.

The lesson is an eternal one and must be learned in our time, too. The question of peace in the Middle East is a question of the Arabs and the world acknowledging the total sovereignty of the All Mighty. There can be no compromise on this. It is only a peace that comes with Arabs submitting to the yoke of the heavenly kingdom that will be a permanent one and the Jew who gives up part of his land as a compromise, violates the entire purpose of the rise of the Jewish State and the demand of the All Mighty that the nations acknowledge Him as King. There can be no retreat from land because that is in essence a retreat also from the Kingship of the L-rd.

Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria - Caroline Glick

Caroline Glick: Explaining the Right’s Alternative to the World

In her new book, journalist Caroline Glick lays out a political plan
built on application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
Here too, the question of how to deal with the demographic issue is a
leading concern, but in this case, Israeli sovereignty becomes a
surprising and essential demographic solution.

Journalist Caroline Glick has recently completed her book (in English)
about the alternative plan to the ‘Two-State’ scheme.  Glick directs
her book ‘The Israeli solution: A One State Plan for Peace in the
Middle East’ to the American audience “so that they will understand
that the reason the United States’ Middle East policy has been such a
failure for the past two generations is because it’s been based on a
failed concept of carving a Palestinian state out of Israeli
territory.

Whereas in Israel, the conversation has begun about alternatives to
the ‘Two-State’ model, no such conversation is taking place in
America. Since George W. Bush officially adopted the idea and made it
the centerpiece of US Middle East policymaking, everyone has supported
the establishment of a Palestinian state. In truth ever since the
Nixon era, the paradigm that the United States has been promoting is
the paradigm based on appeasing the PLO at Israel’s expense.”

Before Richard Nixon decided to treat the PLO as a desirable
organization, US policy was not predicated on Israeli land giveaways.
“In ’67 there was no such concept in the United States. UN Security
Council Resolution 242, which set out the terms of an eventual peace
between Israel and its Arab neighbors, stipulated clearly that the
Arabs must recognize the right of Israel to exist in peace and
security within defensible borders and, only afterward, would
territorial changes be addressed…”

In Glick’s view, the US’s reliance on the ‘Two-State’ paradigm as the
panacea for all the Middle East’s political pathologies has been the
principal cause of most of its policy failures in the Middle East. “By
viewing the Arab world through the prism of the Palestinian conflict
with Israel, US policymakers’ perception of Israel and the war against
it has become distorted to the point of debilitation. The Americans
are so blinded by their belief that by establishing a Palestinian
state on territory Israel controls they will solve all the problems of
the region that they cannot understand the region.”

On a military level, according to Glick, this has blinded successive
American administrations to the strategic significance of Israel’s
military campaigns and so blocked Washington’s capacity to learn from
Israel’s experience or even understand that it is worth thinking about
Israel’s experiences.

In her book, Glick considers the US military intervention in Lebanon
in 1982 and its intervention in Iraq in 2003. She discusses how the
Americans’ refusal to learn from Israel’s experience in Lebanon, which
stemmed from its embrace of the ‘Two-State’ model, made it impossible
for them to understand the nature of the societies they were operating
in or to develop strategies that were relevant to their battlefields.

In Lebanon, she explains, the Americans sided with the PLO against the
IDF forces and deployed the Marines to force Israel out of Beirut
while protecting the PLO from the IDF. “This was the aim of their
‘peacekeeping mission,’” she says. “They were not prepared for the
reality. That reality dictated that the parties fighting in Lebanon
saw the US forces as an Israeli proxy. When they replaced the IDF
positions all of those forces that were fighting against Israel aimed
their guns at the Americans. The American misconception stemmed from
the fact that they saw themselves as a liberating force, in contrast
to the IDF, which they perceived as an occupying force. They were
incapable of reaching the right conclusions regarding the PLO, Syria
and Lebanon. The United States saved the PLO, and arranged a haven for
it in Tunisia because the State Department believed that their
generosity to Arafat would convince him to moderate his position,
agree to the ‘Two-State’ solution and everything would be okay.”

In Iraq, she explains, the Americans failed again because of the same
misguided approach. “They thought they had nothing to learn from the
Israeli experience of 18 years in Lebanon, because again, they were
convinced that they were liberators and Israel was the occupier. So
they marched blindly into Iraq. Most Israelis who understood Iraq and
what happened to us in Lebanon foresaw precisely what happened in
Iraq. But the Americans, who failed to notice the demographic
similarities between the Lebanese and the Iraqis, didn’t understand
the relationships between the groups and the Syrians and Iranians –
the sponsors of the war in Lebanon – and were blind to it. And again,
their blindness owed to their inability to see Israel outside of the
‘Two-State’ paradigm. For them, Israel is only useful if it is giving
land to Arabs. It isn’t an ally; it is an obstacle to Arab support for
the US.”

The ‘Two-State’ solution, she explains, is the end of analysis and
serious thinking about the region, not the beginning of it. “This is a
belief that absolves its adherents from considering reality. If all of
the problems of the Middle East stem from the fact that there is no
Palestinian state in the Land of Israel then you don’t need to learn
about the Arab world, the various ethnic groups, the contradictory
interests. There is no need for strategic thinking because every
problem is clearly a result of ’Israeli greed’.”

“The undertones of the ‘Two-State’ model are deeply anti-Semitic. And
this makes sense. The eternal characteristic of Jew hatred is its
rejection of logic and reason. If the Jews are to blame for
everything, then there is no reason to think anymore. Jewish guilt is
the catch-all explanation for everything that is happening, has ever
happened and will ever happen in the world. If the Jews are to blame,
then there is no reason to think anymore. There, you have the answer.
Punish the Jew and everything will be fine.”

In light of this, Glick sees the ‘Two-State’ model as nothing less
than a model based on an anti-Semitic world concept. And Jews are not
immune to the anti-Semitic rejection of reason. “The Israeli Left’s
belief in the ‘Two-State’ idea, despite innumerable proofs that it is
false, is nothing but a part of the world view that rejects logic and
reason.”

Glick divided The Israeli Solution into three parts. Part One is a
historical survey that lays out the failure of the ‘Two-State’
paradigm from the British Mandatory period to the present day.

In the second part of the book Glick examines the various aspects of
the application of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria. She
provides an in-depth analysis of Arab and Jewish demography and shows
that, far from being an existential threat to Israel, demography is
one of our strongest assets.  Glick demonstrates that if Israel were
to apply its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, and offer immediate
permanent residency to all its Palestinian residents, as well as the
right to apply for citizenship, Israel would still retain a two-thirds
Jewish majority. Moreover, there is every reason to believe that the
Jewish majority would only rise from there on in.

“The high rate of Arab emigration from Judea and Samaria, and the
great potential for Jewish aliyah from Europe are clear indicators
that time is on Israel’s side. Moreover, the Jewish fertility rate has
outpaced the Arab fertility rate in Judea and Samaria and is closing
in on the Israeli Muslim fertility rate,” she explains.

Ironically, she notes, Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria is
what will stop Jewish demographic erosion, in total contradiction to
the way in which the ‘Two-State’ advocates describe reality. “Tzipi
Livni speaks about a Palestinian state as a demographic solution
whereas such a state would turn demographics into a real threat. After
all, the Palestinian state would have control over its immigration
policy. And who are the Palestinians in Syria and Lebanon who would
immigrate immediately to a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria?
They are the hundreds of thousands of people who live in villages that
are called refugee camps and are controlled by al-Qaeda and Ahmed
Jibril’s PLO. This would be the implementation of the Palestinians’
so-called ‘right of return.’ Obviously, these people would not live
peacefully. They would incite the Arabs of the Galilee and the Negev
to wage a terror war against Israel. All of the moderate Arabs, who
are now well integrated into Israeli society, would be murdered like
the collaborators that were killed in great numbers by Arafat when he
came here. Only if we have exclusive control of the border can we
prevent a demographic disaster. Even if all of the Palestinians become
Israeli citizens we would prevent a demographic disaster by
restraining Palestinian control in the immigration policy.”

She also considers the record of success of the Israeli sovereignty
model – or the Israeli ‘One-State’ plan. “Israel has implemented the
Israeli ‘One-State’ plan twice – in Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
And both experiences were successful.”

She devotes a chapter to Israel’s legal rights to sovereignty over
Judea and Samaria, and another chapter to its historic rights to
sovereignty over the areas.

She spends, as well, two chapters considering the civil rights aspects
of the Israeli ‘One-State’ plan and explains, “Israeli democracy and
the status of the civil rights of Israelis and Palestinians alike will
be massively enhanced if Israel applies its sovereignty over Judea and
Samaria. The Palestinians in particular have been the primary victims
of the ‘Two-State’ formula.  From living in the freest society in the
Middle East, outside Israel under military rule, they became subjected
to the PLO’s jackboot. For the past 20 years, the Palestinians have
lived in a legal jungle, with no protected rights whatsoever and have
stood by powerless as their children have been indoctrinated to become
murderers and bigots. The Israeli ‘One-State’ plan offers them true
civil rights and corrects a situation that should never have been
created to begin with.”

Part Three of The Israeli Solution considers the likely responses of
the Palestinians, the larger Arab world and the European Union to an
Israeli move to apply its sovereignty to Judea and Samaria. The last
two chapters analyze how Israeli sovereignty over the areas would
impact Israel, and the United States. In general, Glick’s analysis led
her to the conclusion that the party that will react most harshly
would likely be the Europeans. “Today, the EU’s only foreign policy is
hostility towards Israel. This is made clear first and foremost in
their aggressive rejection of Israel’s sovereign rights to Jerusalem,
Judea and Samaria. The Arabs have other interests. The Palestinians
have limited capacities. The Europeans have nothing else going on. But
in the end, Israel has the means to mitigate the damage of European
anti-Israel actions. And a decision to apply Israeli sovereignty over
the areas will give Israel the strategic clarity to meet the challenge
in a coherent and constructive way.”

Glick says she got the idea of writing a book after watching the
vice-presidential debate ahead of the 2008 presidential elections. The
moderator asked Sarah Palin rhetorically whether she supports the
establishment of a Palestinian state. Palin looked slightly confused,
hesitated and answered positively. From watching this debate Glick
understood that in the absence of a clear, cogent alternative from the
Right, the world, even those who support Israel, would continue to see
the Left’s vision as the only vision on the table for discussion.

“I brief the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate
several times every year. Each time I present this plan on Capitol
Hill, the response borders on euphoria. In the United States, just as
in Israel, there are millions of people who understand that the
‘Two-State’ solution is a disaster. They are just waiting for someone
to tell them that they can abandon it. My book gives them, and the
Israeli public as well, the alternative that they are waiting for.”

Glick rejects the voices on the Israeli Right that promote the idea of
payment for Arab emigration or defining Jordan as Palestine. In her
view, these are irrelevant ideas that no one will accept, especially
the Palestinians themselves. “The only thing that should interest us
is that Judea and Samaria is Israel,” she says and notes that even
though providing the Palestinians with permanent residency and the
right to apply for citizenship is not a perfect solution and will
damage Israel on certain levels, “it is absolutely clear that it is
better than establishing a Palestinian state. Such a state would be
the ruin of Israel.”

Despite the risks, this policy will allow us to exist coherently as a
liberal, open and Jewish country with the ability to determine our own
fate, she explains.
