J Street "anti-Semites" Fervently Campaign Against Trump's Pick For Ambassador To Israel

The anti-Semitic, anti-Israel,liberal Jewish group J Street is pushing a campaign against David Friedman, US President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as ambassador to Israel. Ahead of Friedman’s confirmation hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this Thursday, J Street is scrambling to transmit its plea far and wide: “Stop Friedman.”

The self-hating Jewish group is calling on supporters and non-supporters alike to appeal to senators to oppose Friedman’s confirmation, charging that his appointment should alarm all Americans, including those who tend to disagree with J Street.
“David Friedman is a friend of the settlement movement who backs unlimited settlement expansion, has accused [former] president [Barack] Obama of being an anti-semite and says that liberal Zionists are ‘worse than kapos,’” the advocacy group stated. Anti-Jewish J Street supporters were the targets of the latter insult, while members of the Anti-Defamation League were branded by Friedman as “morons.”
“The contempt Mr. Friedman has shown toward liberal American Jews – labeling them worse than Nazi collaborators – makes him a horrible choice to be our representative in Israel,” reads a letter drafted by the anti-Semitic J Street for Friedman opponents to send to their senators.
The letter also accuses Friedman of posing “a threat to longstanding US policies in the Middle East that have been supported by Democratic and Republican presidents alike.” Friedman – who has a long personal history of supporting the settler enterprise – has referred to the two-state solution as a “scam” and “an illusory solution in search of a nonexistent problem.”
Friedman served as one of Trump’s two advisers on Israel throughout his presidential campaign. A bankruptcy lawyer, he has no prior experience in diplomacy or governance, another point highlighted by J Street.
Following Friedman’s nomination in December, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus responded to questions about his politics by asserting that Friedman would not dictate the direction of the administration’s policy on Israel. At the time, Priebus told Fox News that US ambassadors “represent the views of President-elect Trump, and not their own views when they get elected and appointed to these positions.”

Double Standards and Doublespeak Pits the US Against Israel

About midnight, on October 21st, a man wielding a knife lunged at a border patrol officer. The assailant was shot four times.
Did you hear about this incident? 
Probably not. 
That’s because the incident took place took place not somewhere in Israel, where all incidents of this type are recorded and broadcast around the world, but at the border crossing in Calexico, California, just across the border from Mexicali, Mexico.
The reason the man was shot by a Border & Patrol Protection officer and, subsequently, died from his wounds, should be obvious. People wielding knives and lunging at police—or anyone else, intend to injure or kill and it is essential to stop those attacker immediately—before they do their harm and people are killed.
This incident did not make international headlines. There was no outcry and no rage for the poor guy even after details emerged and we learned that he was on a bicycle and jumped off it to perpetrate his attack and that he was denied entry into the United States and that was why he went on his rampage.
There is a double standard here.
If this incident would have happened in Israel, the country’s many critics would be screaming about the murder of innocent people riding their bikes. The Palestinian propaganda machine would have turned the truth upside down to convince the world that the killer was the victim.
These are some of the lies that were told to the United Nation Security Council by PA UN Representative Riyad al Malik on Thursday, October 22nd. In describing the tension between the Palestinians and Israel, he said:
“Our Palestinian people, particularly our children, are being killed, targeted by the Israeli occupation forces.”
“They are denied fundamental right to life because of their national and religious identities. Their legitimate rejection of illegal occupation is being faced with killing and destruction.”
“Incitements and provocations continue in al-Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary, as the Temple Mount is known by Muslims) and the al-Aqsa Mosque – attacks, incitement by the Israeli extremists and the officials against Palestinian civilians. Day after day we watch this.”
They believed every word. They gobbled up every untruth.
When Israel’s new Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, had his turn to speak, the damage was done. This is a war where lies and false rumors are the ammunition of the propagandists. And Israel is losing.
And it doesn’t stop. If the Palestinians speak untruths  it’s one thing. But when the United States delivers falsehoods, it’s something else entirely. On Monday, October 19th, three days before the UN Security Council heard from al Maliki and Danon, Secretary of State John Kerry had this to say about Israel and the Palestinians:
“Security and diplomacy go hand in hand. There is not a time for one and then the other, really there is an importance to both. We want to see calm restored and we want to see the violence stop. And I think everybody in Israel and in the region would like to see both of those things happen.”
He starts out fine. Then Kerry made a terrible mistake:
“We continue to urge everybody to exercise restraint and restrain from any kind of self-help in terms of the violence, and Israel has every right in the world to protect its citizens, as it has been, from random acts of violence.”
I don’t get it—and that’s probably because the secretary of state doesn’t really get it. Can the Israelis defend themselves or not? And why can’t Israeli be vigilant and help fight the terror spreading throughout their country. That is what Nir Barkat, the mayor of Jerusalem, advised when he asked that citizens who are trained marksmen and have licenses and permits and weapons carry their weapons with them wherever they go.
And what about this idea of restraint on both sides? Israel is showing great restraint—especially because they are the people being attacked. The vast amount of Palestinians who have been injured during this terror spree were the terrorists themselves. And they were injured or killed in the midst of the act of terror. Israel is killing terrorists—not innocent teenagers.
This is not, as Kerry erroneously stated, a question of “protection” but rather one of self defense. It baffles the mind that even now the United States is still attempting to put forth an agenda of impartiality. How could the US see things in such a warped manner as to confuse those who are the terrorists with those who are the victims? Why does the United States administration continue to persist in their desire to put both sides on an equal playing field?
Sometimes, a man’s got to do what a man—or woman—has got to do. And shooting someone who wants to take your life is as correct and appropriate a response at the border between California and Mexico as it is in the clash between terrorist Palestinians and Israeli citizens.

Should Israel go for a decisive or partial victory?

How to Win the Struggle
Israel can emerge from the current struggle victorious, provided we thoroughly understand the ambition and goal of our enemies. The merciful among our enemies are willing to settle for the destruction of Israel, killing the Jews who oppose them, while leaving the remaining ones to be humiliated dhimmis forced to pay high taxes to the Muslim rulership – according to the tradition of moderate Islam.

\The cruel ones hope to murder most of the Jews, according to the militant Islamic tradition. That’s what the leading Sunni and Shiite leaders in the world are saying, including the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian rulers. They have no reason to lie, so it can be inferred that they speak the truth.

In contrast to honest and candid Muslim leaders, Palestinian Authority leaders do not speak about abolishing the State of Israel because they fear that if they reveal their cards too early they will lose their status in Israel and the world. But this truth crops up in their statements from time to time.

The War on Faith and the Land
Clearly, from our enemies’ point of view, the war is not about one piece of territory or another, but over the very existence of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, a reality radically opposed to the fundamentals of their faith. Therefore, anything weakening the State of Israel is considered a victory for them and defeat for us; anything strengthening the sovereignty and Jewish identity of Israel is considered a defeat for them, and a victory for us.

Strengthening the Jewish Identity of the State
Today, the majority of the elected representatives of Israeli Arab citizens are conducting a war of incitement and provocation against Israel and gnawing at its strength. If as a result of the wave of terror, the government changes the situation in which Israeli Arabs have rights without obligations; if it denies the residency status of over 100,000 Arabs who infiltrated the State of Israel under the cover of the law of ‘Family Reunification’; if it encourages the emigration of those hostile to the State of Israel – then, the results of the current struggle will be a great victory, transmitting a clear message to all our enemies that we are the victors and becoming stronger.

The War is Over Sovereignty
If out of this struggle the government of Israel approves plans for expansion of Jewish communities in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and annexes the territories on which Jewish towns exist in Judea and Samaria - it will be clear to all the Arabs that the war against us led them to defeat, and their urge to fight us will diminish.


Political Commentators and Analysts
Political commentators and analysts and their mentors in academia, are confident that mankind’s sole ambitions are democracy, freedom, and economic prosperity. Thus, in their opinion, the motive for terrorism is the "occupation" the Arabs are subjected to, and the despair gripping them in the absence of a political process that will bring an end to the "occupation".
Surprise! Each additional hint of sovereignty given to the Arabs only increases their hatred and assaults against us. The “experts” are confident that the more money and education the Arabs have, the less they will want to engage in terrorism and wars. But once again – surprise! The majority of the current and past killers do not come from poor and uneducated families – on the contrary! Bin Laden was not a poor and uneducated person either.
It is no wonder that all the predictions of the “experts” were proven false. They fail to understand what a nation is all about, what religious belief is all about – and in fact – what human beings are all about. That's how they plunged the United States and Europe into a mistaken Middle East policy, as well as causing European countries to accept Muslim immigrants without integrating them and in consequence, leading their countries to disaster.


The Weakness of the Government and the Courage of the Public
Unfortunately, since the government and its leader lack the faith and determination required to act boldly to strengthen Israel’s sovereignty and settlement, it is difficult to expect a clear victory. But with God's help, we may be able to take comfort in a partial victory – thanks only to the devotion and determination of men of faith and action within our midst.
Our nation has a weak government with good intentions. The same holds true for the majority of the public, who indeed would prefer that all of Judea and Samaria remain in our hands, and who side with the settlers in their hearts, but lack the faith and courage to demand an outright victory over our Arab enemies.
It could be said that in their worldview, the public and government are captive to the erroneous assumptions of the majority of academics and political analysts, namely, that if we compromise and don’t offend the Arabs’ feelings we will achieve peace, security, and a good life. On the other hand, in their hearts they aspire to victory, the expansion of settlements, sovereignty and Jewish identity, and feel that no compromise will bring peace.
The public, bearing no responsibility, is willing to express patriotic and faith-based positions, whereas the leadership, which does bear responsibility and is exposed to international pressures, does not dare give expression to these views, because it lacks an alternative policy to present to the world rationally, confidently, and with conviction. Only at election times is the country’s leadership more attuned to the mood of the public, for example, the Prime Ministers’ pledge before the elections to amend the law of citizenship and expand "settlements".


The Struggle Can Go Either Way
The struggle can go either way – for better, or for worse. If we listen to the failed political commentators and world leaders – we will decide to withdraw and bring a catastrophe upon ourselves, as we did with the tragic Oslo Accords. If we follow our instincts – we will press forward, settle the Land, and achieve victory.


A Cautious Evaluation: Partial Victory
Since the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria already number hundreds of thousands and in the words of the Left "is stuck like a bone in [Israel's] throat" hindering plans of further withdrawal, it is difficult to promise the Arabs further withdrawals. Even the freezing of settlements is difficult, because the life-force within the communities pulsates so strongly. Our own bodies are obstructing the “throat of the devil” who wishes to swallow us.

Since ordinary citizens are unwilling to give-in to terrorism and demand the government retaliate, it is difficult for the government to appease the Arabs with money or further erosion of Jewish identity in the State of Israel. 

The only remaining option for the government is to mobilize the police and the army, strike the terrorists and their infrastructure, and weaken the ability of our enemies.
And since many Arabs support the terrorists, there is no choice but to exercise caution and suspicion towards the entire Arab population – within the “Green Line” and beyond it – a measure that embitters the lives of the good Arabs and the bad ones alike, and in practice, encourages the continuation of Arab emigration abroad.


People of Faith and Deeds
The believers and men and women of action – the rabbis and educators who strengthen Jewish identity, the settlers of Judea and Samaria, and the various dedicated security personnel who refuse to surrender to terrorism – they are the determining factor. Thanks to them, we will hopefully continue defeating our enemies, expand settlement in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem, our holy and glorious city – specifically in the areas surrounding the Temple Mount, where “the precious sons of Zion, as precious as fine gold” reside – men of faith and action alike.

Through the steadfastness of all the good Jews from the left and the right, who advance the State of Israel both morally, socially, and economically, the State of Israel marches forward and new immigrants continue to knock at her doors - nearly 30,000 last year.

Jewish immigrants from prosperous Western countries bend down on the tarmac of the airport and kiss the ground of Israel, and thus, the words of the Prophet are realized: "I will also allow the House of Israel to ask me to do this for them: that I increase them like a human flock.  Like the holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem at its festivals…Then they will know that I am the Lord" (Ezekiel 36: 37-38).

Therefore, strengthening of the Torah and Jewish faith, building and settling the land, strengthening of society, the army, economy, sciences and arts related to Jewish culture, draws us closer to victory over our enemies.


Optimistic Fertility Figures
This is the time to share the important summation of the notable researcher, Yoram Ettinger, regarding our demographic state of affairs.

By the grace of God, the Jewish fertility rate in Israel is rising from year to year. Fifteen years ago it stood at 2.6 children per woman, and is now 3.11. This rate is far higher than the fertility rate in all developed countries. It is also higher than all Arab countries, except for three.

In contrast, the fertility rate among Muslim women who have Israeli citizenship is steadily declining. Fifteen years ago it was approximately 4.5 per woman, and last year declined to 3.15.

The Arab fertility rate in Judea and Samaria dropped to 2.76 births compared to 5.0 births fifteen years ago (according to the annual report of the C.I.A.).

The reason for the high birth rate among Israeli Arabs as compared to Arabs of Judea and Samaria are the child allowances and other social benefits that Israeli Arabs receive from the state – not that they show any gratefulness for these benefits, quite the contrary
.
The Status of the Population
The Arab population in Judea and Samaria numbers approximately 1,700,000 and the number of Arab citizens of Israel is also 1,700,000 – though the Palestinian Authority publishes false demographics, for example, counting people who were born 170 years ago, and more than 400,000 people who emigrated abroad.

In conclusion, 6.6 million Jews currently reside in Israel, alongside 1.7 million Arabs within the “Green Line”, and 1.7 million Arabs in Judea and Samaria - a majority of 66%, also benefiting from the impetus of new births and immigration.


The Aging of the Arab Population opposed to Jewish Rejuvenation
The future continues to bode well for the nation of Israel. In contrast to the Jewish population which is getting younger on account of increased fertility and the absorption of many young immigrants, Arab society in Judea and Samaria is aging rapidly: the average age rose to 22.7, compared with 17.0  fifteen years ago (C.I.A. annual report).
The average age is rising because in addition to a decline in fertility, there is a constant negative emigration of Arabs from Judea and Samaria abroad (20,000 in 2013, 25,000 in 2014, etc.). The waves of terror resulting in the closure and blockade of cities and villages and the other I.D.F. actions that follow in their wake, continue to encourage emigration. Since the majority of those emigrating abroad are young, the Arab population in Judea and Samaria will continue to age and decrease.


The Present Leadership
The Prime Minister and the majority of his administration are aware of these optimistic facts. From their point of view therefore, as long as we continue progressing, the situation is acceptable. However, if we had a leadership that could generate a substantial victory from this struggle, we would spare ourselves a lot of blood, sweat and tears, and the State of Israel would progress and flourish spiritually, demographically, socially and economically at an even faster pace.

Wendy Sherman the behind the scene US negotiator on Iran Nuclear talks is the same idiot that negotiated the North Korea Nuclear talks


I have a secret to all those naive stupid Jews that are posting support for the Iranian Nuclear Deal on the blogs and on facebook, ....... 

One only has to know who the negotiator is, to know if this is a good or a bad deal!

The Chief US negotiator for this deal was not John "liar" Kerry.... nope .... Kerry was only the face ... that Obama used to fool the Jews and the world  .... 
the Chief US negotiator was the "yenta" Wendy Sherman! 

For those who remember, ..... Wendy Sherman was the chief US negotiator, under the Clinton Administration, for the North Korea nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programs, that has now been declared a disaster even by the leftist media.

So who is this insane women, that would put the world at risk of a nuclear holocaust? you ask?

What are her credentials in negotiating complex deals? You ask?

She is now the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs...

Oh.... Ok .....

Again.... what was her experience in negotiating complex deals with foreign governments? You ask?

What does she know about Nuclear Programs? 

So, DIN, for heavens sake .... tell us already ..... I can't take the suspense?

Ok, here goes, but first take a seat and put your drink on a steady table....

If you, G-d forbid, have a heart condition ... don't read any further!
.
.
.
She was a social worker! ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was also the director of a far left feminist group that is now in the business of selling body parts of unborn fetus', called ....EMILY'S LIST!

She then became....... listen carefully, and read this very slowly .... ........ Special Advisor to the President and Secretary of State and North Korea Policy Coordinator under the Clinton Presidency.

No experience in political affairs. No experience in negotiations with foreign regimes friendly or hostile. No experience or prior knowledge in Nuclear or Ballistic Programs...

But, and this is a big "butt,"...... she was  the chief negotiator with the blood thirsty Iranians ....a deal that puts the entire world in jeopardy!

Oh ... did I mention that this witch is Jewish? 
Ok.... I won' t mention it!

read on:
The Pentagon says that North Korea likely has a nuclear weapon that can be mounted on a missile. Hats off to Wendy Sherman, architect of the 1999 nuclear deal with North Korea that was supposed to prevent this sort of thing. 

In return for hundreds of millions of dollars of food and oil at a time a million or more people were starving to death under the North Korean regime, the United States received meaningless concessions that did little or nothing to stop North Korea’s nuclear program. 
That deal was described by former Secretary of State James Baker as “appeasement.”

"The only positive thing that could be said about the latest agreement is that it will probably avert a short-term crisis. But at what price? It will make the United States even more reluctant to adopt a more muscular approach toward Korea and thus could actually increase the risk of war on the Korean Peninsula. And the North Koreans may well conclude that their bad behavior will continue to be rewarded."

And so they did and so it was.

For her part, Ms. Sherman displayed a disturbing tendency to gush about Kim Jong-il, the North Korean dictator with whom she negotiated.

Now what is she saying about the laughing, Zarif?

Yom Ha'Zikoron! Holy Words from Maran Ovadia Yossef z"l



מפי מרן רבינו הקדוש רבי עובדיה יוסף זצ"ל,

חללי צבא ההגנה לישראל

היום הוא יום זכרון לחללי מערכות ישראל, והנה אנו מפרסמים דברים אלו (בתוספת נופך), שנאמרו מפי מרן רבינו הקדוש רבי עובדיה יוסף זצ"ל, בכינוס יום הזכרון לפני קרוב לארבעים שנה, ויפים הדברים להאמר גם עתה.
אמרו בגמרא (בבא בתרא י:), הרוגי "לוד", אין כל בריה יכולה לעמוד במחיצתם. ופירוש הרוגי לוד, הם האחים פפוס ולוליינוס, במעשה שהיה, שבתו (הבת של) של המלך נמצאה הרוגה, וחשדו הגויים שמישהו מישראל הרג אותה, וגזרו גזירה על כל העם, להשמיד להרוג ולאבד, ועמדו פפוס ולוליינוס, ופדו בנפשם את ישראל, שאמרו, אנחנו הרגנוה, והמלך הרג אותם לבדם, ונשארו כל ישראל לפליטה. ועליהם אמרו רבותיו, כי אין כל בריה יכולה לעמוד במחיצתם, לרוב גודל השכר שיש להם לעולם הבא.
אין ספק שדברים אלה כוחם יפה גם לגבי חללי צה"ל הקבורים בארץ ישראל, אשר חרפו נפשם במערכות ישראל על גאולתינו ועל פדות נפשינו, מנשרים קלו מאריות גברו, תהי נשמתם צרורה בצרור החיים.
עמנו למוד סבל ורווי דמעות, על נהרי נחלי דמי אחינו שנשפך כמים, לא שלותי ולא שקטתי ולא נחתי ויבא רוגז, ומאז חורבן בית קדשינו ותפארתינו, וגלות ישראל מעל אדמתו, נשפך דם ישראל כמים, אמרו לכו ונכחידם מגוי ולא יזכר שם ישראל עוד. ובת קול ממררת בבכי שלוש פעמים ביום ואומרת, "אוי לי שהחרבתי את ביתי ושרפתי את היכלי והגלתי את בני לבין אומות העולם". תמיד היינו מטרה לשנאת הגויים, שנאת עולם לעם עולם, שבכל דור ודור עומדים עלינו לכלותינו, כמה מאות קהלות נרצחו באכזריות במסעי הצלב והאינקויזיציה, והאחרון הכביד, בשואה האחרונה אשר נהרגו כששה מליון יהודים ובתוכם גדולי ישראל צדיקים יסודי עולם, ועד עתה, בפרעות שעושים כנגדינו שכינינו הערבים הפלשטינאים, הפוגעים לא אחת בחיילינו. וכבר אמרו במסכת ראש השנה (כג.), אוי להם לאומות העולם שאין להם תקנה.
ואמרו חז"ל (ילקוט שמעוני פרשת מטות), שכל אותם שנרצחו ביד אומות העולם הרשעים, הקדוש ברוך הוא טובל דמם על בגד שלובש עד שנעשה צבעו רווי דם, וכשיגיע יום הדין, אל קנא ונוקם מתעטף באותו הבגד, ורואה את כל גופות הנרצחים ביד בני עוולה, והיה צדק אזור מתניו, לעשות נקמה בגויים תוכחות בלאומים, לאסור מלכיהם בזיקים ונכבדיהם בכבלי ברזל, וכמו שנאמר "ידין בגויים מלא גויות".
יום הזכרון צריך לשמש לנו לא רק כיום אבל על אבדן חללינו, שקשה סילוקם של בחורים כחורבן בית המקדש, אלא גם יום חשבון נפש, עלינו להתאמץ לחזור למסורת אבותינו, לשוב לתורה ולמעשים טובים, ולחנך את בנינו לתורה, וכמאמר הכתוב, שובו אלי ואשובה אליכם. והרי כמה וכמה מהאובדים על קדושת ה' לא נהרגו ולא נרצחו אלא בכדי שימשיך עמינו להתקיים בתורתו, וכמה וכמה נהרגו ממש על קדושת ה', שלא רצו להמיר דתם, ואם כן בודאי שבמותם ציוו לנו החיים, חיי התורה, וכמאמרו של רבינו סעדיה גאון, כי אין אומתינו אומה אלא בתורתה.
זכותם של חללי צה"ל מגיני ארץ קדשינו יחד עם כל קדושי עם ישראל תעמוד לעד להגן אלף המגן על משפחותיהם, ויעמדו בתפילה לפני כסא כבודו על כל עם ישראל לבל נוסיף לדאבה עוד, וכמו שנאמר, לא יבא עוד שמשך וירחך לא יאסף כי ה' יהיה לך לאור עולם ושלמו ימי אבלך, ויקויים בנו מקרא שכתוב, ושמתי מקום לעמי לישראל, ונטעתיו ושכן תחתיו, ולא יוסיפו בני עולה לענותו כאשר בראשונה. וקראת ישועה חומותינו ושערנו תהלה, ותחזינה עינינו בבנין בית מקדשינו אהל בל יצען, בל יסע יתדותיו לנצח, וכל חבליו בל ינתקו, וכבר נאמר, כי יום נקם בלבי ושנת גאולי באה, מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב ה' שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל. ואת רוח הטומאה יעביר מן הארץ ובא לציון גואל במהרה בימינו. אמן.

The Miracle of The State of Israel & FDR

by Rabbi Benjamin Blech
This week we commemorate the 67th anniversary of the birth of the modern day state of Israel. This momentous event almost didn’t take place without very special divine intervention.
At the time almost no one knew the story. It was not until much later that the secret correspondence between Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Saudi King surfaced. But now we know what transpired behind the scene that would surely have derailed recognition of Israel as a member state of the United Nations – and we can once again stand in awe of the mysterious ways in which G-d plays a role in directing the turning points of history.
I have just now become privileged to see copies of the original letters between Abdul Aziz bin Abdur Rahman al Faisal al Saud and the then president of the United States. It was in March 1945 that the Saudi King, aware of the imminent end of the Second World War, wrote to FDR of his fear that the Jewish remnant of the Holocaust might push for a return to their ancient homeland of Palestine. Saud was particularly concerned that there might be some American support for this on humanitarian grounds, especially in light of the revelations about the extent of Jewish suffering.
The Saudi King was undiplomatically direct in his opposition to this possibility:
“This right [of the Arabs] men now seek to destroy by injustice unparalleled and unequaled in history. Such is the right of the Arabs in Palestine which the spokesmen of Jewish Zionism wish to scorn and abolish by the use of various forms of lying propaganda, invented, concealed and employed by them throughout the world.… They are preparing to create a form of Nazi fascism within sight and hearing of the democracies and in the midst of the Arab countries as well as in their very heart and in the heart of the East which has proved itself loyal to the Allied cause in these critical times….. We state frankly and plainly that to help Zionism in Palestine not only means to endanger Palestine but all neighboring countries.”
Leaving aside the incredible reference to the Arab world having proven itself “loyal to the Allied cause” in spite of its powerful links to Hitler and the Nazis, the Saudi King seemed quite confident he would secure a positive response from FDR which would make the creation of a Jewish state impossible.
In fact he was not disappointed.
On April 5, FDR responded with an extremely warm note. In it he offered the king a firm commitment.
“Your Majesty will doubtless recall that on previous occasions I communicated to you that I would take no action in my capacity as chief of the executive branch of this government which might prove hostile to the Arab people.”
As long as he continued to serve as President, he made clear that the dream of the Jewish people of return to their homeland would not be fulfilled. Those were his words.
It was on April 12, a mere seven days after the date of FDR’s commitment to the Saudi King, that FDR passed away.
America mourned mightily at the death of their leader who had guided them through the previous years of horror. Jews, as grateful citizens of a land that had offered them so many blessings, were in the forefront of those overwhelmed by grief. We can now see divine fingerprints in the replacement of FDR with Harry S Truman, a man who previously enjoyed a friendly business relationship with a Jew and found himself in the unique position of being able to make possible the creation of the state of Israel which his predecessor pledged never to allow.
It seems miracles have always played a major role in the unparalleled story of a people returning to their homeland after a hiatus of close to 2000 years. But it was not only the miracles which allowed Israel to survive the attacks of its many enemies, far superior in number, in armaments, in wealth and in friends amongst the nations of the world. No rational historian, no realistic military analyst, no cogent political commentator could possibly have predicted that after 67 years of attempts at its annihilation, Israel still stands proud and tall, secure in its achievements and confident of its continued survival.
Israel’s development through its teenage years, its growth to maturity and its present day place in the world as a technological wonder all bear the signs of divine and miraculous assistance. However this year, now that we know the full story, let us add our recognition of the miracle which made possible Israel’s birth as well.

UN: Israel #1 Violator of Women's Rights

Here read the Rush Limbaugh transcript....
Before you read this you will need tissues .... not to cry.... but to laugh your head off!

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: From Anne Bayefsky at Fox News:  "Guess who is the number one violator of women’s rights in the world today?"
  I posed the question right before the end of the previous hour, and the staff on the other side of the glass, they're all guessing, 
"Ah, it's gotta be Saudi Arabia. It's gotta be Iran. It's gotta be, it's gotta be, it's gotta be, it's gotta be some Muslim country for crying out loud."  
No, no, no.  
According to the UN, who is the number one violator of women's rights in the world today?  
The answer is -- dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut -- 
Israel!  (laughing) They're violating the rights of Palestinian women.
It's just absurd.  Look, if you want to understand, Israel is the Tea Party.  That's all you have to know.  Israel is the Tea Party and Benjamin Netanyahu is Todd Akin, as far as the American left, the worldwide left, as far as the Democrat Party is concerned. Israel is the Tea Party, Benjamin Netanyahu may as well be Todd Akin, or what was her name, Christine O'Donnell.  I mean, that's the only way you can possibly understand this. Iran is the Service Employees International Union.  The Palestinians are the NAALCP. 
I mean, if you want to understand how this works, if you want to have this make the slightest bit of sense to you from the leftist perspective, it's what you must understand.  
Iran is the Service Employees International Union, big donors to the Democrats, they're on same side of issues.  The Palestinians, Hamas, Fatah, they are the NAALCP and the Congressional Black Caucasians.  
Let's see, who else?  
Western Europeans would be the equivalent of the feminazis, actually in more ways than one there.  And the enemy, the enemy of this coalition, the coalition of the American Democrat Party, Iran, Palestinians, Fatah, Hezbollah, and Western European, that's the equivalent, that's the Democrat Party.  Everybody else may as well be the Tea Party, and that's how you understand this. 
Now, here you have Boko Haram, which is bragging about the number of women they have kidnapped and killed. You have Islamic Sharia law, which is the most discriminatory against women philosophy you can probably find on earth.  
There may be some weirder ones in obscure places.  Iran is still stoning women.  They just stoned Soraya.  And they're beheading people.  You are absolutely right.  Saudi Arabia is beheading people.  In Saudi Arabia women can't drive.  Nowhere can they drive.  They have to cover their heads and so forth. 
Even the American journalists go over there and fall for it, Christiane Amanpour covers up, probably doesn't drive.  She probably doesn't drive anyway.  Chauffeur.  Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, she goes over there, she covers up, she dresses the part and then all the while ripping the shreds out of Netanyahu. (laughing)  Sometimes all you can do is laugh.
So the number one violator of women's rights in the world today is Israel, violating the rights of Palestinian women.  
"That's the view of the UN’s top women’s rights body, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).  CSW ends its annual meeting on Friday, March 20 by condemning only one of the 193 UN member states for violating women’s rights -- Israel."
"Not Syria. Where government forces routinely employ rape and other sexual violence and torture against women as a tactic of war. ... Not Saudi Arabia. Where women are physically punished if not wearing compulsory clothing, are almost entirely excluded from political life, cannot drive, cannot travel without a male relative, receive half the inheritance of their brothers, and where their testimony counts for half that of a man’s."
Although the Saudis just did give women the right to vote for the first time in this year's upcoming elections.  They didn't promise to count them. (laughing) Well, it said they could vote, but they haven't promised yet to count them. 
"Not Sudan.  Where domestic violence is not prohibited.  There is no minimum age for 'consensual' sex.  The legal age of marriage for girls is ten. 88% of women under 50 have undergone female genital mutilation. And women are denied equal rights in marriage, inheritance and divorce.  Not Iran. Where every woman who registered as a presidential candidate in the last election was disqualified."
Here's Obama on TV talking to the people of Iran, trying to develop a rapport and create an accord.  Adultery in Iran, if a woman is caught committing adultery, "punishable by death by stoning.  Women who fight back against rapists and kill their attackers are executed." Did you not know this? "The constitution bars female judges. And women must obtain the consent of their husbands to work outside the home."
There's no possibility that the UN Commission on the Status of Women will criticize Iran because Iran is an elected member of the Commission on the Status of Women.  Sudan is currently the vice-chair position of the Commission on the Status of Women.  Now, I'm gonna trying to get serious for a moment, but it's a waste of time.  This is the place, folks, where every half-baked, cockamamie theory about global warming is coming from.  I honestly, I cannot relate to any of this that comes out of the UN.  This is beyond parody and beyond description. 
I mean, they're very serious here.  In all of these countries I just listed, the offenses and the rules and the prohibitions against women, they're all true.  In Iran if a woman is raped and she fights back and kills her attacker, they kill her.  And Iran is a member in good standing of the UN commission on the rights of women or whatever it is.  Israel, officially announced as the top violator of women's rights in the world.  Israel. 
This organization, United Nations, is just an abject joke.  It's a bad joke.  The fact that there are so many in the American diplomatic corps that take this organization seriously --  this organization is due serious condemnation.  I mean, this goes beyond offensive. This goes beyond absurd.  This is the stuff of nightmares, but the reality is what it is.  And of course when you say that Israel, an ally of the United States and of course Jewish, the number one location, by the way, the most focused anti-Semitism on this planet is at the United Nations.  And here's Barack Obama sidling up to it.  The American Democrat Party, the American left, the United Nations is the end all, the United Nations source authority, the United Nations inviolate. 
This goes beyond argument.  We need to get out of the UN.  This is seriously corrupt.  But it's even beyond that.  'Cause these people are serious.  And the nations we're talking about literally have the tyrannical, dictatorial power to implement all of this.  There are people in the world being forced to live this way, and it is a shame that the United States of America in any way sidles up to any of these nations and offers tantamount support.  And then while that's happening, to have to sit around and listen to the same people call American conservatives and Israeli Jews the modern focus of evil in the world, as the big problem facing the world?  This is seriously wrong, it is seriously corrupt, and it is an absolute outrage that the United States of America gives any of it the time of day.

An Open Letter to the World


When we were led into the gas chamber, YOU said nothing


When we were forcibly converted, YOU said nothing


When we were thrown out of a country just for being Jews, YOU said nothing
When we now defend ourselves all of a sudden, YOU have something to say
How did we take our revenge on the Germans for their Final Solution?
How did we take revenge on the Spanish for their Inquisition?
How did we take revenge on Islam for being Dhimmi?
How did we take revenge on the lies of the Protocols of Zion?
We studied our Torah
We innovated in medicine
We innovated in defense systems
We innovated in technology
We innovated in agriculture
We made music
We wrote poetry
We made the desert bloom
We won Noble prizes
We founded the movie industry
We financed democracy
We fulfilled the word of Hashem by becoming a light unto the Nations of the Earth
So World when you criticise us for defending our heritage and our ancestral homeland we the Jew’s of the World do exactly what you did, we ignore you.
You have proven to us for the last 2,000 years that when the chips are down you don’t care.
Now leave us alone and go sort out you own back yard whilst we continue our 5775-year old mission, enhancing the World we share.

Straightforward Arab Message, Convoluted Jewish Answers


The main Arab message is clear and simple and everyone can quickly understand it:

     We Palestinians are the indigenous people of Palestine who have enjoyed a peaceful life in our country for millennia. We worked hard and promoted freedom and equality for all. Our country was invaded by the evil Jewish colonizers who were supported by the British imperialists. They killed many of our people and stole our beloved land of Palestine.  Now they exploit us and occupy our land.  We are fighting for freedom from the evil Zionists Jews.  The Jews kill our mothers and our brothers and practice apartheid and holocaust upon us.  The world must help us since Jews are so strong!

Yes, this is a powerful message.  It is very moving and

 cries out for a response from all decent people. 

It is also a complete LIE!

What is the response of the Israeli Jews to above slanders?
“This is complicated,” the Jews say.  “We respect Arab concerns, but we also have the right to be here.  We believe in their right to have a state, but we have security needs.  If we abandon the settlements and move back to the 1967 lines, our coastal plain will be endangered, etc.”  The convoluted message goes on and on.  Our message amounts to many volumes of tightly typewritten text.  One must read it all to understand what we Jews mean.

Any sane person will have a similar response;
“I don’t have time to read the many thick volumes of Jewish explanations.  Arabs clearly are the victims here.  Jews are trying to hide and obfuscate something and talk us to death.  My dear Jews, stop this nonsense and give back to the Arabs their freedom and their land.  Quit with the lame excuses.  Enough is enough.”

Even a significant number of Jews buy into the Arab narrative despite it being a total fabrication.  I have met many Jews who repeat the Arab disinformation in good faith.

Israel has to develop its message to be as clear and simple to comprehend as the Arab have done. 

We have to learn from our enemies when their tactics are effective.  I do not propose that we lie like they do.  

Just tell the truth in clear cut, simple terms:
Jews are from Judea; 
Arabs are from Arabia.  
The Jews are the indigenous people of this land
Arabs are the colonizers.  

We are the people of Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, Galilee and Golan.  We have been invaded by the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs and the Crusaders, but our link to the land has never been broken. We have resided without interruption in this land for over three thousand years.  We have built the cities and every square meter holds archaeological remains from our ancient kingdoms. During the two thousand years when most Jews lived in exile, we never forgot where we came from.  This was, is, and will be our nation’s sacred land forever. 

Meanwhile, there never existed an Arab Palestinian nation or a country.  It is a complete hoax.  There never was a Palestinian Arab king of this land; there were no famous Palestinian poets, philosophers, generals; no distinct language, no architecture, no inventions, no battles, indeed, no mention of the “Palestinian” Arab people in any history book written before 1960.  

Arabs from neighboring countries started immigrating into Palestine in late 19th century to take advantage of the infrastructure and jobs created by the newly invigorated Jewish people.  They came for the same reasons that Mexicans cross the border into the U.S. and that Muslims have flocked to Europe. They came in great numbers seeking a better life than in their Arab lands.

During these years the Arabs dwelling in Israel were simply “Arabs” and, when the term “Palestinian” was used, it always referred to the Jews!  

The “Palestinian people” were invented in the 1960s for Cold War purposes by the Soviet communists.  The Arabs residing in Israel began to pass themselves off as the ancient native peoples of this land.  

They invented the name, “The West Bank,” for our provinces of Judea and Samaria.  

Today they even claim that Jesus was a Palestinian prophet and that the Jews never lived in this land.  

They have developed this pseudo-history to dupe the world into believing that their racist terror campaign against the Jews is a national liberation struggle!

The Arabs’ genocidal military assaults on the Jewish state failed repeatedly, so today they are using propaganda and diplomatic shenanigans in their efforts to destroy us.  The Arabs have the power of huge territory and oil money, but we have truth on our side.  

We live in our homeland, and only we have a legitimate claim to this land—legally, morally, and historically.  We will never let Arab squatters and impostors steal our birthright.  As people of good will around the world learn the truth, they will stand with the people of Israel.

This should be our Jewish message. 

I hope that when our PM visits Europe and explains the situation, he will go beyond raising just the security issues.  This is a message that even our European friends should be able to understand, since they are witnessing a replay of the same scenarios in their countries.  

Arriving as poor immigrants looking for jobs, just like in Palestine, once their numbers grow, radical Muslims take control and seek to impose their worldview and values wherever they live. 

 From Berlin to Barcelona, from Marseilles to Malmo, from Amsterdam to Athens they sow intolerance and hatred toward their host nations. They impose their sharia laws, homophobia and ill-treatment of women.  

Will Europeans be surprised when Arab Muslims start claiming that they alone are the native inhabitants of these lands?  After all, they have gained experience and expertise in creating alternate realities during their aggression against the indigenous peoples of Israel.
