Rabbi Shmuel Goldin

On Friday, Nov 30, the RCA and the OU issued the following statement, criticizing the statement made by Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, and expressing disappointment in the vote that raised the status of the Arab Palestinians to that of nonmember observer state.

The Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) and the Orthodox Union voice their disappointment in passage of the resolution by the United Nations General Assembly upgrading the Palestinian Authority to a nonmember observer state.

The RCA and OU view this unilateral move by the Palestinian Authority as damaging to the peace process and a violation of the Oslo Accords. They believe that a settlement between Israel and the Palestinians can only come through direct negotiations.
Rabbi Shmuel Goldin, president of the RCA, and Dr. Simcha Katz, president of the Orthodox Union, stated:
“Today, at the United Nations, the global community placed peace in the Mideast further out of reach.  Today, the world saw the Palestinians’ president deliver a speech that was filled with hatred and venom against Israel; a man who truly wants peace does not speak this way.    Today, supporters of Israel are grateful to President Obama and his administration, as well as to the Congress of the United States, for their strong efforts to prevent the passage of this resolution, and we thank the other nations who stood with Israel today at the UN.”
 CORRECTION: THE HEADLINE OF THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN CHANGED – THE RABBINICAL COUNCIL OF AMERICA EXPRESSED ITS DISAPPOINTMENT OVER THE UN VOTE TO UPGRADE THE STATUS OF THE PA, NOT THE RABBINICAL ASSEMBLY.

Israel Launching Rabin’s E1 ‘Nuclear Option’ in East Jerusalem Construction

A NY Times article Saturday morning revealed that "Israel is moving forward with development of Jewish settlements in a contentious area east of Jerusalem, defying the United States by advancing a project that has long been condemned by Washington as effectively dooming any prospect of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." The Times is right, and Washington is right to be alarmed, because once the E1 zone is built and populated, the southern and northern halves of what is popularly known as the "West Bank" will be permanently severed from each other.

Of course that ignores that Israel can build a series of bridges and tunnels to ensure contiguity, if needed.

The E1 Neighborhoold is an area of some 3000 acres, stretched between Maale Adumim and Jerusalem. The area was appended to the city by none other than the late Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin, in 1994. The planned neighborhood, Mevasseret Adumim, will consist of 4,000 housing units, according to the Maale Adumim website.

Amid International Condemnation, Israel Selling New Apartments East of Jerusalem

Housing and Construction Minister Ariel Atias commented Saturday night on the cabinet decision to approve the construction of 3,000 housing units in Judea and Samaria, saying in the coming days his office will start selling hundreds of new housing units in Pisgat Ze'ev.

Pisgat Ze'ev, named after Revisionist Zionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the ideological forefather of the Likud movement, is the largest residential neighborhood in Jerusalem, with a population of more than 50,000. The neighborhood was established by Israel as one of the city's five ring neighborhoods on land that was annexed after the 1967 Six Day War.

Most of the international community considers Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this as per the Edmond Levey report which determined that Judea and Samaria rightfully belong to Israel. This report, while not yet officially state policy, is turning into a guiding document for Israeli policy.

The U.S. opposes construction in the area because it effectively sabotages a contiguous Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today made the following remarks at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting:

"The response to the attack on Zionism and the State of Israel must reinforce and underscore the implementation of the settlement plan in all areas in which the Government decides regarding settlement.

"These are not my words. These are the words of the government of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and this is the language of the Cabinet's 1975 decision in the wake of the UN decision that equated Zionism with racism. Today we are building and we will continue to build in Jerusalem and in all areas that are on the map of the strategic interests of the State of Israel.

"The Palestinian Authority's one-sided step at the UN constitutes a gross violation of the agreements that have been signed with the State of Israel; accordingly, the Government of Israel rejects the UN General Assembly decision."

Syria, Egypt, Lbya.....Were are the Humanists?

There are so many organizations that try to de-legitamize Israel for their own anti-semitic reasons.....WHERE are they now? When the Arabs murder, rape, torture and kill, it is growing pains? I don't remember one group, not one, going in to monitor these situations.

They have labeled their organizations racist anti-semites by their inaction.

The picture is clear, not fuzzy.

Remember Israel is alone and must trust no Man.

Only Hashem is our guide.

We are here to be the light unto Nations and they simply don't like it.

There are trying to bring back the orgies and puck-a-toriums as you read this!

Feiglin for a Jewish State!!! Vote for Jewish leadership of the only Jewish Country!

Jonathan Pollard - Enough!

Jonathan is still at:

Jonathan Pollard #09185-016
c/o FCI Butner
P.O. Box 1000
Butner, NC
U.S.A  27509-1000

Write him there. 
Jonathan tried to protect Israel, whatever else he may have done (including the 60 Minutes interview) is irrelevant to me. He has more than served any time he was due.

Release Pollard Now!


The simplest, most secure way to send a monetary gift to Jonathan or to contribute to his cantina fund is with a personal check sent to the NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YOUNG ISRAEL. NCYI will assume responsibility for transferring funds to the National Inmate Lockbox for Jonathan. Checks should be made out to NCYI Charities, designated for Jonathan Pollard and mailed to:

Obama - Feiglin

Well that could be no relationship couldn't it?

Imagine if Feiglin becomes PM, would we call it the Knesset Freeze Out?

I would think that Feiglin would tell BHO how it is and he would deal from strength and tell the POTUS that if he wants to retain his only foothold in the ME...This is how it will be:

• Israel is a soverign Country and and shall do as she pleases for her own interests
• Israel will always be glad to talk to her friend and ally the US, but on Israeli terms
• Israel will defend herself as she sees fit.
• Israel will continue to consider the US her best friend in the world.

Etc.

Moshe Feiglin is more qualified to lead then Bibi the appeaser.

Traitors in the Knesset

Why are traitors like Tibi allowed in Israel, much less the KNESSET?
Israel is no Democracy and you would have to be a twelve year old US politician to believe they are.

End the charade deport the traitors to their choice of the 22 Arab Countries of their choice....entire families included.

Disgraced Former PM Olmert...Speaks.

I wonder why Olmert even bothers to speak. He supports the TSS - Yadah, Yadah, Yadah.
He want the elevate the Balestinians towards the TSS...

Former PM Olmert should know enough to follow the disgraced fromer PM track.. Shut Up and fade away and feel lucky to have been let off the hook.

He still speaks like a Gentile...

Muslims...hmmm take over the world...hmmm

So it is nearly 2013 and things are progressing nicely for the Muslims...

They are:

• Slowly infiltrating the US
• Creating Eurabia
• Working on an international propaganda campaign
• Brazen
• Planning to create the Caliphate over the entire Planet
• The bad guys
• Against Life and only value Death
• Going to surprised that they have run out of Virgins
• (the) Wild ass of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.
• A nation sprung from a housemaid

The truth is you either see Muslims for what they are, or you are blinded by the immature view that we all share until someone is mean to us. We then realize that Man may just not be inherently good and we need to reserve judgement until goven reason to.

I see the facts and I hope your Passports are in order and Aliyah is on the schedule!!!

Shalom
