Of Landlords and Tenants in the Holy Land  

By Jason Gold, JEWISH LEADERSHIP

“I am the landlord here, and if you (Ed. note: “you” meaning Jews, Israelis, etc.) don’t like it, you can leave” exclaimed Arab MK Ahmed Tibi from the Knesset podium approximately one week ago. Amazing that in that one sentence, Tibi encapsulated the very root of the current intifada. That is, Jews acting like squatter tenants in their own land and being subverted to the will of the landlord Arabs.

Now if you ask your average Israeli about this analysis, he/she will tell you that you are crazy, it’s our land, what is Tibi talking about, the inciter, trouble maker, blah, blah blah. Unfortunately though, Tibi is right. While the Arabs boldly assert their false claims to the land, how does the Israeli government answer? Most of the time with something like, “we have the right to defend ourselves”, or “we have the right to live in security”. When has an Israeli prime minister ever responded with something like, “Gd promised this land to us, time and time again in the Tanach”? The answer is never. Why? Very simple.

Pro-settler lobby: Apply Israeli law in settlement building  

T. Belman. A couple of years ago Jeff Daube and Arlene Kushner began a PR project to get the Levy Report accepted. They focused on educating MK’s who weren’t up to speed on the legal issues. A year ago they renamed their efforts to the Legal Grounds Campaign, the essence of which is to get MK’s to understand that the Fourth Geneva Convention does not apply, that there is no occupation and settlements are legal. Please visit their site and learn all about it. And if you can, contribute money.

The Land of Israel Caucus held its inaugural meeting in the 20th Knesset on Wednesday, with members from the coalition and opposition, and support from ministers.

MK Yoav Kisch (Likud), who co-chairs the caucus with MK Bezalel Smotrich (Bayit Yehudi), began with a call to action to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman to “put your anger and egos aside and work together in a united, right-wing government.

“Yisrael Beytenu belongs in the coalition,” he said, adding that a stable, strong right-wing coalition can help the caucus obtain its goals.

The Grand Mufti, the holocaust and the PLO  

By Ted Belman

There is no dispute that Hitler was responsible for the holocaust and the Mufti was close at hand in aiding and abetting it. Hitler’s role has been exhaustively covered. The Mufti’s role is finally getting wide exposure. Not only was he part of Hitler’s inner circle and was friends with Eichmann and Himmler, he was instrumental in infusing Hitler’s ideology of world conquest and Jew extermination into Arab culture in general and into the Muslim Brotherhood which was founded in 1928 and into Yasser Arafat who carried on the Mufti’s message in the rejection of Israel, in particular.

Here are important articles which portray this history.

Israel’s “Knock on the Keyboard” campaign spies on and subverts terrorist social networks  

Israel’s keyboard intelligence brigades

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

The newest type of Israeli intelligence officer does not require expertise in hand-to-hand combat, shooting or the ability to survive in enemy territory, but rather a keyboard, screen, internet connection and a complete command of Arabic, including idioms, jargon and expressions. The officer goes online under a false name and uses social networks to connect with those about to stab, run down or shoot Israelis. Along with the undercover agents in the field, there is a new generation of Israeli “digital HUMINT” officers who are updated on the latest trends among the Arab youth and spread out in the same digital space as the users in the back alleys of Palestinian refugee camps. Posing as terrorists, they use their fluent Arabic on Facebook or Twitter to request instructions, assistance, information and direction to “carry out attacks.” Read more…

Please sign and share widely
.
harper1Dear Stephen Harper,

Thank you.

Thank you for always saying it as it is, never letting political calculations cloud your moral integrity. This probably cost you your job, but it earned you our deepest respect.

Thank you for giving Canada its moral voice back on the world stage after years of moral relativism.

Thank you for your steadfast support of Israel, for your opposition to radical Islam and to all other tyranical regimes, and for your fight for freedom around the world and inside Canada.

Thank you for being the only world leader to understand that in the choice between the Islamic Republic and the Islamic State, the right choice is to oppose both of these hateful apocalyptic regimes.

Thank you for making Canada skip the worst economic crisis the world has seen since the great depression through responsible fiscal policies.

We will never forget this period of time where Canada led the free world in terms of moral clarity and moral stance. You became the moral compass of a too often immoral world.

You will be missed. No: you are already missed.

The Undersigned,

Historians, politicians slam PM’s ‘distortion of history’  

T, Belman. Bibi didn’t get it exactly right about the Mufti’s role. But there is no question that the Mufti wanted Italy and Germany to “accord to Palestine and to other Arab countries the right to solve the problem of the Jewish elements in Palestine and other Arab countries, in accordance with the interest of the Arabs and, by the same method, that the question is now being settled in the Axis countries.”. [ “Grand Mufti Plotted To Do Away With All Jews In Mideast,” Response, (Fall 1991), pp. 2-3.]

At first Hitler intended to expel all the Jews but since no one would take them in, he concluded that the nations wouldn’t stop him from killing all the Jews. Bibi was right about that. But he was wrong to suggest that the Mufti was responsible for Hitler choosing to do so. The Mufti aided Hitler in other ways such as providing Muslim troops for him from the Balkans.

I am disturbed by the rancor that critics are showing Bibi for his remarks. They are in effect protecting the Arabs from the truth by jumping on Bibi for the error. They should simply correct Bibi and then do a correct indictment of the Arab role in supporting Hitler. I am glad Bibi made his remarks because of the wide exposure the truth is getting.

Netanyahu: Hitler was responsible for Final Solution

“At the same time, it is absurd to ignore the role played by the mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, a war criminal who encouraged Hitler, [Joachim von] Ribbentrop, [Heinrich] Himmler and others to destroy the Jews of Europe.”

Holocaust scholars refute prime minister’s assertion that Muslim religious leader first suggested the Final Solution; Netanyahu: ‘I had absolutely no intention of absolving Hitler’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday at the 37th Zionist Congress that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler did not initially plan to exterminate the Jews and was convinced by the grand mufti of Jerusalem – but renowned historians said definitively on Wednesday that this was not the case.

Professor Dan Michman, a world-renowned expert who is the head of the Institute of Holocaust Research at Bar-Ilan University and Head of the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem said Hitler did indeed meet the mufti – but this only occurred after the Final Solution began.

Our World: France’s war against the Jews  

Through its actions, France has shown that it isn’t even vaguely interested in promoting freedom and peace.

By Caroline Glick, JPOST

France’s plan to use its position at the UN Security Council to bring about the deployment of international monitors to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been condemned by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers as biased, unhelpful and detached from reality.

Certainly it is all those things. But France’s decision to use its diplomatic position to advance a plan which if implemented would end Israeli sovereignty over Judaism’s holiest site is first and foremost a French act of aggression against the Jewish state.

Contrary to what the French government would have us believe, France’s Temple Mount gambit is not an effort to quell the violence. French protestations of concern over the loss of life in the current tempest of Palestinian terrorism ring hollow.

The Strategic Situation in Jerusalem Demands a Change of Policy  

Udi Dekel in INSS Insight No. 756, writes The Strategic Situation in Jerusalem Demands a Change of Policy

The uniqueness of the current outbreak of violence is that those driving it are the young Palestinians of East Jerusalem, who demonstrate willingness to confront Israeli military and police forces and engage in acts of sacrifice. The events in Jerusalem refute three basic assumptions that thus far have guided the policy of the Israeli government.

The first is that the status quo is sustainable, not only on the Temple Mount, but also in Israel’s greater regional strategic situation, and that any alternative would have more negative implications than those of the current situation.

‘Palestinian mufti convinced Hitler to massacre Europe’s Jews,’ Netanyahu says  

T. Belman. And the Muslim genocide of the Armenians during and after WWI was evidence to Hitler that it was possible. Did you know that “Mein Kampf”, the title of Hitler’s book written in 1925 means “My Jihad” in Arabic.

This morning I watched Megyn Kelly interview Brooke Goldstein, the head of Lawfare, and a Muslim mouthpiece. He kept blaming the killing of Jews on the “occupation”. Brooke did a great job of saying that the Muslim killing of Jews long predated the “occupation”. She drove her point out by telling him that we shouldn’t attribute the Arab killing of Jews to the “occupation” when the Arabs and their leaders don’t. They all attribute it to the demands of the Koran.

Wednesday following claims made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Adolf Hitler initially had no intention of massacring European Jewry.

In a speech to delegates at the 37th World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem on Tuesday, the premier claimed that Hitler’s original intentions were solely to expel the Jews.

According to Netanyahu, the Fuhrer changed his mind at the insistence of the Palestinian Arab leader at the time, Haj Amin al-Husseini, who argued that the expulsion of the Jews would result in their arrival en masse to Palestine, which at the time was under British Mandatory rule.

Europe is dying because it has abandoned its roots  

By Bret Stevens, WSJ

The death of Europe is in sight. Still hazy and not yet inevitable, but nevertheless visible and drawing nearer—like a distant planet in the lens of an approaching satellite. Europe is reaching its end not because of its sclerotic economy, or stagnant demography, or the dysfunctions of the superstate. Nor is the real cause the massive influx of Middle Eastern and African migrants. Those desperate people are just the latest stiff breeze against the timber of a desiccated civilization.

Europe is dying because it has become morally incompetent. It isn’t that Europe stands for nothing. It’s that it stands for shallow things, shallowly. Europeans believe in human rights, tolerance, openness, peace, progress, the environment, pleasure. These beliefs are all very nice, but they are also secondary.

Why the Status Quo on the Temple Mount Needs to Change  

T. Belman. The author makes some very important points. Essentially to accept the “status quo” is to accept the domination of Sharia. Islam has no right to dictate who can come on the Temple Mount or pray there. They have such a right in their own mosques. But the Temple Mount was created by Jews for Jews and the Muslims didn’t acquire suzerainty over it by building their two mosques on it.

The fact that al-Aqsa is not in danger, does not mean that the status quo on the Temple Mount should remain constant. To the contrary, it must change on both strategic and moral grounds; and for the sake of true Israeli-Palestinian peace.

By Hillel Frisch, INN

All of Israel’s leaders, Including Prime Minister Netanyahu and the opposition leaders, as well as senior officials and most of Israel’s commentators and journalists, keep on reiterating that Israel has no intention of changing the “status quo” on the Temple Mount. They emphasize over and over again that the Palestinian campaign to wit “al-Aqsa is in danger” – is a modern blood libel.
It clearly is a modern blood libel.

Memo to GOP: Curb Immigration or Quit  

By Sen. Jeff Sessions and Rep. Dave Brat, ROLL CALL

America is about to break every known immigration record. And yet you are unlikely to hear a word about it.

The Census Bureau projects that the foreign-born share of the U.S. population will soon eclipse the highest levels ever documented, and will continue surging to new record highs each year to come.

Yet activists and politicians who support unprecedented levels of immigration are never asked to explain how they believe such a policy will affect social stability, community cohesion or political assimilation.

If we only had a political process!  

By Ya’akov Golbert, TOI

th Jews under attack again in the streets of Israel, the familiar refrain is heard again that only a political process can lessen the frustration and despair of the Arabs and provide hope for a peaceful future, presuming that is what they hope for. The refrain is accompanied by the equally familiar complaint that the Israeli right and the religious Zionists are ossified in their thinking and committed to a “hardline” position that includes no hope for the Palestinians. Here is a historical reality check.

Is Russia Outpacing the U.S. Military?  

By Robert Caskey, AMERICAN THINKER

Barack Obama, who has spent much of the past two years explaining away the threat posed by Vladimir Putin instead of taking any steps to counter it, said last week that Russia’s military intervention in Syria proved “their strategy did not work.” Much to the White House’s dismay, however, Putin’s Syria campaign has instead become a showcase for impressive new weapons systems, offering a disturbing reminder of the damage Russia could do to the U.S. military and American allies. Obama’s reckless abandonment of U.S. commitments overseas, meanwhile, has left America’s armed forces flat-footed as they try to deal with military advancements abroad.

“Family reunion” blowing up in our faces  

By Dr. Reuven Berko, ISRAEL HAYOM

Our sages said long ago that “he who is compassionate to the cruel will ultimately become cruel to the compassionate.” The terrorist attack in Beersheba on Sunday evening — committed by 21-year-old Muhand Khalil al-Okab from the Bedouin community of Alhoura in the Negev, who holds Israeli citizenship because his mother, a Palestinian from Gaza, married an Israeli Bedouin — brought us back into the absurd controversy over opposition to the Citizenship Law.

The debate began in 2002 after 16 Israelis were murdered in a suicide bombing at the Matza restaurant in Haifa, executed by a Palestinian who had been granted “family reunification” and an Israeli ID card because his mother had married an Israeli Arab. The Citizenship Law, passed in 2003, decided that Palestinians who marry Israeli Arabs would not be granted legal or residency status in Israel.

Think about it: The divided city  

T. Belman.  Today I attended a lecture by Amb Alan Baker and Michal Navoth, hosted by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) on the subject of Jerusalem. The former asked “Is Jerusalem Negotiable?” and the latter discussed “The Status of Jerusalem in U.S. Foreign Policy, Legislation and Supreme Court Decisions”. Baker pointed out that contrary to the political stance of most Israelis that Jerusalem is and will remain the undivided capital of Israel, the Israeli governments from time to time have always entered into negotiations to divide it. Navoth, an Israeli attorney, said that not only do the Republican and Democrat administrations differ, but the Democratic Party itself is divided. I will provide links to their very informed papers next week.

A few days ago I posted, Wave of Palestinian violence shatters myth of ‘united Jerusalem’.

It is my belief that the status quo in Jerusalem will remain forever.The same goes for the “occupation”. No one will agree to a different arrangement. And this is so notwithstanding that there are many arguments suggesting a different arrangement.

And by the way, PM halts placement of barriers between Jewish, Arab areas of Jerusalem because it might suggest a divided Jerusalem.

By SUSAN HATTIS ROLEF, JPOST

It isn’t only the Palestinians who do not recognize united Jerusalem. The world at large does not recognize the lingering fiction.
