type='text'>Freedom of Bias vs. Freedom of Facts</title><content type='html'>1.        You start by making an assumption about a subject or an object.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.        Then over the course of time you start to have people who are telling you that the assumptions are really true. And because of their position in the society people at large believe them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.        Eventually because you see the subject or an object (externally) that makes you forget what is not seen (internally).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The visible the tangible obviously displaces the invisible and the intangible. So why bother with something you cannot see when you have so many of those that you can see http://www.irmep.org/, http://www.jewwatch.com/, and so forth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is being forgotten!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are stating the truth, the passage of time has no effect. Truth does not change in the course of time. But if you make an assumption, it?s your own idea; it?s your own opinion; with the course of time almost inventible you going to have to start lying. Because you are going to have to bolster your argument, particularly because people are starting to question; so in order to quell the people they had intensify the argument.  And when that does not work then they have to again amplify the argument, ?if you do not do that then you are really in trouble.?  Time is enemy of falsehood; time is not the enemy of truth. Truth becomes truer with passage of time. It was true yesterday the day before, it is true today, and truth loves time. Truth gets stronger with time but falsehood is afraid of time because time wears it down so it is inevitable that you are going to have to continue upping the ante and eventually you are going to have to start torturing people. Just like communism in the Former Soviet Union or when the Nazi?s gave a death penalty to those who would help Jews. After all, not every German was a Nazi. That is history, eventually if the people are rising against your assumptions; you as a ruler will have to start torturing people. Because how else do you keep a falsehood going. You only can fool people for so long and after you fool them you start exterminating them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the day, the notion that the "Western World (U.S.A.) is hated because of Israel" is false. To the contrary, Israel is hated because of the Western World. An excellent question would be WHY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is simple&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel is a democratic state that follows the rule of law.&lt;br /&gt;Rule of Law has several factors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Identity as a citizen&lt;br /&gt;2. Voting as the primary action or behavior of the citizen&lt;br /&gt;3. Regular political competition and contestation for power&lt;br /&gt;4. Lively Party System &lt;br /&gt;5. Orderly transition of power, finally;&lt;br /&gt;6. Loyal Opposition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, it is the only Western Style country in the Middle East. The Middle Eastern Governments feel threatened by Israel being in the middle and what it represents. If the majority of the Middle Eastern countries have a free vote tomorrow you will see those governments removed. My heart goes with the people of Iran who have been cheated during the recent elections thus breaking the fundamental principles of the Rule of Law.  Not only they were cheated, they were not even allowed to peacefully protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women in Israel have all the rights that are enjoyed in the Western Style Democracies. I hope I do not have to go into detail about the horrendous treatment of women in the Middle East. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tolerances vs. Intolerance there are about 1.5 million Arabs living in Israel (Green Line). On the other hand if you count the Jewish population in the Middle East except Israel you will not count more than couple of hundreds of people in each country with an exception of Iran (20,000-25,000). Furthermore, since 1948-present there has been 850,000 Jewish Refugees from those lands. The question is how come no one talks about those refugees or the reparations for those refugees? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How come I cannot go to some Arab countries because I have an Israeli stamp in my U.S. Passport? I would really like to see some of the old places in those lands. After all there were indigenous Jewish communities for thousands of years residing in those places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We as Americans should be proud of our contributions for the State of Israel, the forefront of Western values in the Middle East and remember that no relationship is a one way street; Israel taking from U.S. and that’s it. There is so much that the United States and humanity at large receives back from Israel; from basic things like cell-phones innovations and computer parts to alternative energy like solar panels and advanced search algorithms for Google. If I am not mistaking, the U.S. congress in 1998, has said that the Israeli intelligence services have provided more information than the CIA. I do not think you have to be financial analysts to figure out of what amount of money (in billions) we are talking about. It is wrong for us to make assumptions that are baseless. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, people who make assumptions that are baseless and erroneous are at best ignorant or at worse .....?? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have tried to use completely different angles that might have contributed to a little bit of chaos. But this subject is huge and equally important that this paper, book, or for that matter hundredth of books would not be enough to cover the real situation on the ground. But what I do want you take out of this (of course if you read it) whether you agree or disagree with me is a question; perhaps a desire for a question; to challenge what I have said or at least be a little bit more aware of the reality on the ground in the future. We all have personal lives (family, school, jobs, and so forth) we are bombarded with information 24/7 but that does not give us a right to remain ignorant. Just because you do not know a law it does not mean you are exempt if you break it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have questions or comments please don’t hesitate to write me back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resources: &lt;br /&gt;Falsehood versus Truth comes from Rabbi Friedman.&lt;br /&gt;The other information come from variety of other sources.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4983518492552368178?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4983518492552368178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/07/freedom-of-bias-vs-freedom-of-facts.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4983518492552368178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4983518492552368178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/07/freedom-of-bias-vs-freedom-of-facts.html' title='Freedom of Bias vs. Freedom of Facts'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-86479393256691212</id><published>2009-07-29T11:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T11:36:16.812-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WHAT ISRAEL DOES FOR THE UNITED STATES</title><content type='html'>Dr. Steve Carol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the six decades since the re-establishment of Israel, an often repeated claim in made that “Israel is a draining liability on the United States.” This claim is bogus and an examination of the facts hopefully will consign this charge to the trash-heap where it belongs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further adding to the problem are statements made by and the conduct of Israel's leftist leaders since 1993 create the false impression that Israeli-American ties constitute a one-way relationship. The impression is given that the U.S. gives and Israel merely receives and thus must constantly bow to “American pressure” as personified by the U.S. State Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that the relationship is a two-way partnership. For example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 1952, as the Cold War got underway, U.S. Army Chief-of-Staff Omar Bradley called for the integration of Israel into the Mediterranean Basin area, in light of the country's location and unique capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 1967, Israel defeated a radical Arab, pro-Soviet offensive, which threatened to bring about the collapse of pro-American Arab regimes and disrupt oil supply, thus severely undermining the American standard of living. The U.S. gained valuable military information from analysis of captured Soviet equipment, including SAM-2, SAM-12, Mig-21 aircraft, and Soviet T-54 battle tanks. In fact, Israel gave an entire squadron of MiG-21s to the U.S. which was dubbed the “Top Gun” squadron and used by the U.S. Air and Naval forces for training purposes. Since 1967, Israel transferred captured Soviet weapons systems to the U.S. Pentagon after every conflict: 1967, 1967-70, 1973, 1982, 1990 (Scud remnants from the Gulf War), and 2006 (remnants of Iranian supplied missiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In the 1967-1970 1000 Day War of Attrition, the IDF, armed with American aircraft successfully defeated a Soviet-supplied air defense system, pointing out the deficiencies in Soviet air-defense doctrine to US defense planners. Israel shared captured military equipment include P-2 radar and Soviet tanks with the U.S. military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 1970, Israel brought about the withdrawal of Syrian forces from Jordan, at a time when the U.S. was tied up by wars in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, thus preventing the fall of the pro-American Hashemite regime and the installation of a pro-Soviet radical Palestinian terrorist regime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 1973 – thanks to U.S. re-supply, but without U.S. forces, Israel defeated Soviet-trained and equipped Egyptian and Syrian forces. Israel again shared captured Soviet equipment, including T-62 battle tanks with the U.S. Israel emerged as the only reliable ally where U.S. troops could land, where U.S. equipment can be pre-positioned, where the U.S. has friendly port facilities (in Haifa and Ashdod) in the entire Middle East region. This too has saved the U.S. billions of dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 1970s - Joseph Sisco, a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, assistant to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger during the latter’s shuttle diplomacy, told the Israeli author and military expert, Shmuel Katz:  “I want to assure you, Mr. Katz, that if we were not getting full value for our money, you would not get a cent from us.”  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;• In 1981, Israel bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak, delaying Saddam Hussein’s quest for nuclear weapons. It thus provided the U.S. with the option of engaging in conventional wars with Iraq in 1991 and 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The vice president General Dynamics which produces the F16 fighter jets has stated that Israel is responsible for 600 improvements in the plane's systems, modifications estimated to be worth billions of dollars, which spared dozens of research and development years.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 1982, Israel destroyed Soviet anti-aircraft batteries in Lebanon that were considered immune to American weapons. Israel promptly shared the operation's lessons, estimated to be worth billions of dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Former Secretary of State and NATO forces commander Alexander Haig has stated that he is pro-Israeli because Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• During the first Gulf War 1991, Israel provided invaluable intelligence, an umbrella of air cover for military cargo, and had personnel planted in the Iraqi desert to pick up downed American pilots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• General George Keegan, former head of U.S. Air Force Intelligence has publicly declared that “Israel is worth five CIA’s.” He further stated that between 1974 and 1990, Israel received $18.3 billion in U.S. military grants. During the same period Israel provided the U.S. with $50-80 billion in intelligence, research and development savings, and Soviet weapons systems captured and transferred to the U.S.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 2005, Israel provided America with the world's most extensive experience in homeland defense and warfare against suicide bombers and car bombs. American soldiers train in IDF facilities and Israeli-made drones fly above the "Sunni Triangle" in Iraq, as well as in Afghanistan, providing U.S. Marines with vital intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In September 2007, the IAF destroyed a Syrian-North Korean nuclear plant, extending the US’s strategic arm. It provided the US with vital information on Russian air defense systems, which are also employed by Iran. It bolstered the US posture of deterrence and refuted the claim that US-Israel relations have been shaped by political expediency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In 2009, Israel shares with the US its battle-tested experience in combating Palestinian and Hizbullah terrorism, which are the role model of anti-US Islamic terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. US GIs benefit from Israel’s battle tactics against car bombs, improvised explosive devices and homicide bombing. An Israel-like ally in the Persian Gulf would have spared the need to dispatch US troops to Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Israel has relayed to the U.S. lessons of battle (during the Cold War – Soviet military doctrine) and counter-terrorism (including aircraft security, homicide-suicide bombings) which reduce American losses in Iraq and Afghanistan, prevent attacks on U.S. soil, upgrade American weapons, and contribute to the U.S. economy. Without Israel, the U.S. would have been forced to deploy tens of thousands of American troops in the eastern Mediterranean Basin, at a cost of billions of dollars a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Senator Daniel Inouye has recently (2005) argued Israeli information regarding Soviet arms saved the U.S. billions of dollars. The contribution made by Israeli intelligence to America is greater than that provided by all NATO countries combined, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Israel's utilization of American arms guarantees its existence, but at the same time gives U.S. military industries, such as Boeing and General Dynamics, a competitive edge compared to European industries, while also boosting American military production, producing American jobs, and improving America's national security. Japan and South Korea, for example, preferred the "Hawkeye" spy plane and the MD-500 chopper, both purchased and upgraded by Israel, over comparable British and French aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The American industries want U.S. aid to Israel to continue. The bulk of the $1.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel must be spent in the United States. That provides jobs for some 50,000 U.S. workers. Virtually all of the $1.2 billion in annual economic aid goes for repayment of debt to the United States, incurred from military purchases dating back many years. This debt is now close to being liquidated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Innovative Israeli technologies have a similar effect on American civilian, including computer-related industries and agricultural industries, which view Israel as a successful research and development site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Members of the U.S. Congress leaders, then Vice President Dick Cheney, and then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld are aware of Israel's unique contribution to U.S. interests. But, in fact, they all wonder why the post-1993 Israel does not use its impressive contribution as leverage, in sharp contrast to the pre-1993 Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• In contrast to our commitments to Korea, Japan, Germany and other parts of the world, not a single American serviceperson needs to be stationed in Israel. Considering that the cost of one serviceperson per year – including backup and infrastructure – is estimated to be about $200,000 per year, and assuming a minimum contingent of 25,000 troops, the cost savings to the United States on that score alone are on the order of $5 billion a year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-86479393256691212?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/86479393256691212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-israel-does-for-united-states.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/86479393256691212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/86479393256691212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-israel-does-for-united-states.html' title='WHAT ISRAEL DOES FOR THE UNITED STATES'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-437832338058201358</id><published>2009-07-28T18:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-28T18:27:04.876-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Technical Update!</title><content type='html'>I have created a separate page for all the videos that used to be posted on the main page Israel Act Now.

These areas were never legally annexed to Israel. I cannot recollect an example in recent history where the international community forced a sovereign state to grant non-citizens the right to vote, regardless of the individual or collective wishes of its citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question still remains whether Israel should be afraid of being demographically overwhelmed and swallowed by the Palestinian population in the next 15 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently published demographic research seems to suggest that this fear has been based on fraudulent data and highly questionable predictions from the Palestinian Authority’s Central Bureau of Statistics in 1997.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1997, the bureau projected that the Arab population west of the Jordan River would, by 2015, outnumber the Jewish population. It pegged the 1997 Arab population of the West Bank at 2.4 million, Gaza at 1.43 million and the Israeli Arab population at 1.33 million. for a total of 5.16 million Arabs West of the Jordan River. This number was, to Zionist eyes, ominously close to Israel’s Jewish population at the time of 5.24 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Arab population numbers were immediately adopted by such prominent Israeli demographers as the University of Haifa’s Arnon Soffer and the Hebrew University ‘s Sergio Della Pergola, who have both warned that by 2020 Jews will make up only between 40 and 46 percent of the overall population of Israel, plus the territories west of the Jordan River. Largely in reaction to these statistics, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, at the urging of Ehud Olmert, decided to unilaterally withdraw the Israeli army and Jewish settlements from Gaza in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sky-is-falling crowd got a surprise in January at the Herzilya Conference with the release of a new study by California researcher Bennet Zimmerman and Israeli strategist Yoram Ettinger. It questioned the PA’s 1997 findings, citing inaccuracies in data collection and incorrect assumptions that led to predictions that ignored Arab emigration and overstated the Arab birth rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their new study concluded that the Jews currently constitute 67 percent of the population west of the Jordan River, excluding Gaza. Jews would be 60 percent of the population if Gaza is included.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1948, the Jewish population in Palestine was only 48 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fertility falloff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new study suggests there are only 1.4 million Palestinians in the West Bank, and not 2.4 million as the Palestinians claim. Zimmerman and Ettinger assert that the PCBS totals include double-counts like the 230,000 Arab residents of Jerusalem, and the 105,000 Palestinians who received blue Israeli cards in 1997, who were already included in the Israeli-Arab population. In addition, the data collected by the Palestinians includes 325,000 Palestinians who reside abroad. This is akin to counting the 800,000 Israeli natives who now live in the United States as part of Israel’s population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 300,000 Palestinian births that were predicted never occurred, and the 236,000 people predicted to move into the PA territory between 1997 and 2003 never materialized. During this time, 74,000 people left PA areas, likely prodded by Chairman Yasser Arafat’s corruption and conflict with Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new study suggests that the demographic establishment and the Israeli government prefer to also ignore the quick drop in natural growth and fertility rate among the Palestinians. According the UNRWA, the Arab fertility rate in the West Bank has plummeted from 5.4 children per woman to 3.24, while the Jewish fertility rate rose to 2.7 children per woman. Among the reasons for the drop are the introduction of family planning with 52 percent of married Arab women using birth control, a rising median age of marrying couples, higher divorce rates, better education and careers for women and the move from villages to cities. This falloff is consistent with the one taking place throughout the Muslim world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside Israel, immigration from France and the former Soviet Union, coupled with a rise in the Jewish birthrate, kept the Israeli Arab population stable at 20 percent for the last dozen years. Inside the “Green Line,” or Israel’s pre-June 1967 borders, Jews make up 76 percent of the population and other non-Jewish immigrants account for another 4 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the city of Jerusalem, Jews make up 68 percent of the population, while the city’s fertility rate among the Jewish and Arab population is equal for the first time at 3.9 children per woman. Many researchers believe that the Jewish population in Jerusalem and inside Israel is even higher, because the Israeli Central Statistics Bureau include thousands of non-citizen Palestinian residents in the population data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, it seems that the Jewish majority is assured to continue well into the future inside Israel, Jerusalem and west of the Jordan River.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tilting the scales&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For any Israeli government to give up the strategic hills of the West Bank, thereby exposing the country’s main population centers to daily missile attacks from a future Palestinian state, and to divide Jerusalem, including the Old City, in order to get rid of the Arab neighborhoods based on unsubstantiated fears seems incredible and irresponsible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For any government to rely on the data provided by the Palestinian Authority, which is notorious for its revisionist view of Jewish (and Arab) history, is naïve and self- destructive. It is disheartening to think that the PA’s propaganda has again been successful in manipulating Israel’s public and political debate and in psychologically intimidating the Israeli government into capitulating to the Arab agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ongoing negotiation between the Israelis and the Palestinians, which includes discussing the future of the Arab refugees who fled in the 1948 and 1967 wars to the surrounding Arab countries, will only hasten the nightmare scenario Olmert fears most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allowing 3 million Palestinians — the 650,000 refugees from 1948 and their descendants — to immigrate into Israel would bring an end to the Jewish state demographically, and, thankfully, no Israeli government would agree to this. However, even agreeing to let these refugees emigrate to a future Palestinian state in the West Bank will upset the demographic scale west of the Jordan River.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historically, being numerous is not one of the Jewish people’s notable characteristics. To argue that a demographic threat justifies territorial withdrawals is similar to arguing that Israel should disband the country, close its doors and leave the Middle East based on being surrounded by numerous hostile Arabs on all sides. In response to this baseless fear, how do we explain Israel’s ability to survive and even flourish in the Middle East with a population of just 5.4 million Jews surrounded by more than 300 million Arabs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shoula Romano Horing was born and raised in Israel.

If this is the case than Israel is worst Imperial occupier in the world because it comprises of less than 1% of the Middle East; I cannot even see Israel on the World Map. All I see is a dot and number that refers to a key in which Israel is written after that number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the next time when someone refers to Israel as an expansionist entity, for sake of common sense correct them because it is very insulting. After all we live in the 21st century, if you want to see an empire Google Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and other expansionist Empires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who are still struggling with the idea that Israel is not an expansionist empire I will try to put things in better perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Israel is slightly smaller than the State New Jersey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Israel land area is: 20,330 sq km compare the world 148.94 million sq km; compare to France 640,053 sq km; compare to Egypt land: 995,450 sq km: compare to Russia land: 16,995,800 sq km; compare to Great Britain land: 241,590 sq km; compare to Jordan 91,971 sq km: compare to U.S. 9,161,923 sq km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The land area of Israel by size is surpassing countries like Swaziland, Micronesia, Cayman Islands, Liechtenstein, British Virgin Islands, and other nascent countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. It’s like comparing the size of the earth to the size of sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope by putting things in perspective it will help those who humiliate the real expansionist empires such as Russian, Persian, or British Empires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any questions or concerns regarding Israel not being an Imperialist or Expansionist entity please do not hesitate to e-mail me at &lt;a href="mailto:israelactnow@gmail.com"&gt;israelactnow@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;. I know it can be difficult at times to use common sense but it does not mean we can remain ignorant.

But I am not going to discuss the point; because of the Jordan, Arab-Palestinians do not deserve a second state. I will try to discuss this reason from a different perspective; so for a second forget about that the Two State Solution is already implemented. Let us start from the scratch; there is a tiny strip of land from Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. Two Peoples, Jews not Israelis and Arabs not Palestinians have a conflict amongst each other regarding the control of that land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Majority of the world side of the story:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On November 29, 1947, the United Nations “General” Assembly approved a plan; Resolution 181 note to resolve “Arab”-“Jewish” “Conflict” by partitioning the remaining 22% of the British Mandate of Palestine into two States, one “Jewish” and one “Arab.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358029637928601058" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SluLkVC_xeI/AAAAAAAAANk/lP1wy6Zj-Ig/s320/UN1947.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jewish Side of the Story:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We accept the Partition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arab Side of the Story:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We oppose the Partition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The outcome of the disagreement between the Arabs and the World was a military invasion of 7 Arab Nations onto the 650,000 people newly established Jewish State. The period between 1948 through 1949 became known as the Israel’s War of Independence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The territorial outcome of the war was that Egypt “occupied” Gaza Strip and Jordan “occupied Judea and Samaria (distorted name West Bank). This territorial arrangement is also referred to as the pre-1967 borders to which the European Union, Russia, China, United States, and other U.N. members are aspiring Israel to return and establish a second Palestinian state on Gaza, Judea and Samaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 147px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358030599194918082" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SluMcSCvvMI/AAAAAAAAANs/v9QpFbo8vxY/s320/1949.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question #1:&lt;br /&gt;How come the so called Palestinians (Arab) did not revolt or commit suicide attacks against the occupiers of the so-called Palestinian Land for the sake of Self-Determination? I mean after all, Egypt and Jordan occupied Gaza and Judea and Samaria (West Bank) not Israel.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I ask another question I would like to include another historical event that took place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the Egyptians closed the Strait of Tiran (Declaration of War); after Syria day and night bombarded Jewish farms in the North of Israel from the Golan Heights (Declaration of War); after Egypt and Syria amassed military equipment with Soviet Union’s help close to the Israeli Borders (Declaration of War); after Egyptians expelled the United Nations Peace Keepers from Sinai Peninsula that were supposed to be there to make sure that war does not erupt in the first place (so much for U.N. peace keepers they leave when they are actually needed). Well after several declarations of wars Israel has finally came to its sanity and launched a pre-emptive attack on the aggressors. Even though Jordan was warned not to intervene; they attacked Israel. Even though the war is called the Six-Day War it was actually the Six-Hour War since Egyptian and Syrian Air Force was destroyed within hours of the defensive Israeli attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The territorial outcome of the defensive war Israel acquired:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Jewish People had finally United Jerusalem&lt;br /&gt;2. Jewish People liberated Judea and Samaria from Jordanians&lt;br /&gt;3. Jewish People liberated Golan Heights from Syria&lt;br /&gt;4. Jewish People liberated Gaza Strip&lt;br /&gt;5. Jewish People acquired Sinai Peninsula &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358031500601054594" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SluNQwCt1YI/AAAAAAAAAN0/hbzAt4_n_Rs/s320/1967.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From historical perspective the liberated lands were the major military invasion points for all the invaders of the Jewish Country. Let go back to our analysis of the outcomes; the Arabs were extremely infuriated due to the embarrassing losses incurred. They thought long and they though hard and the came up with a good strategy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Emergence of the Palestinian Nation&lt;br /&gt;2. Pre-1967 borders for the Palestinian State&lt;br /&gt;3.

The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem.

Nuclear Iran&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Economic Recovery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Security of Israel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He refused to accept the Palestinian State as a possible outcome of the Arab-Israeli conflict before the elections.

I hope I do not have to remind you of the ramifications of all those actions taken by our newly elected Prime Minister. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question is what is the difference between Likud-led coalition and Kadima led coalition? Perhaps the question of unified Jerusalem that Netanyahu has said should be united Jewish Capital. But frankly, I do not believe Netanyahu since he has changed his mind so many times since he was elected Prime Ministers that I believe he might agree to Jerusalem becoming a capital of the second Palestinian State. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said there is no difference between Netanyahu and Ehud Olmert they are both cowards when it comes to saying NO to Washington. Israel is left with no leaders that can protect it rights on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scenario II:&lt;br /&gt;The newly elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the newly elected president of the United States are engaged in a serious tactical maneuver.&lt;br /&gt;The new Obama Administration is engaging the Muslim world, but at the same time distancing itself from the Israel. The question is why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Iran does not stop its nuclear program Israel will have to attack militarily the Iranian Nuclear Sites. The backlash against Israel is well known (huge), but United State’s interests in Iraq and Afghanistan might take a smaller backlash since Washington has distanced itself from Israel and even putting unprecedented pressure on the Jewish State. The Muslim world will not blame the United States for its cooperation with Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, the Arab world might be keener at helping the United States in the region if they see Israel being pushed around by the United States. That is why Netanyahu, Obama, Mitchel, Lieberman, Clinton, and others are playing this show of clash between Israel and the United States. &lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 145px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352567234491212370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/Skgjimg-YlI/AAAAAAAAANQ/AAyDtTk0UYQ/s200/2nd.bmp" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, Arab-Israeli conflict is Arab-Israeli Conflict not Persian-Israeli Conflict and they would love to see Iranian Nuclear Ambitions Destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question is which of the scenarios is more realistic in this situation? I know the first one sound more realistic unlike the dream world of the second scenario.

Until the end of the 19th century, Palestine was the southern part of Greater Syria."&lt;br /&gt;If I had said this, I would undoubtedly be called a Jewish nationalist, a racist, and worst of all - detached from reality.  Yet, note well, these words were spoken by former MK Dr. Azmi Bishara in an interview with Yaron London several years ago.  Bishara is a leader of Israeli Arab citizens who openly identify with the enemy, and who was forced to flee Israel under suspicion of aiding Hizbullah in wartime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his Bar-Ilan speech, he could have used these words.  He could have ripped the mask of deception from the terrible historical lie that we have taken to our hearts as if it were written on the Tablets of the Law given at Sinai.  "Two States for Two Nations" has become holy dogma and anyone who challenges its validity is suspected of blasphemy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But even if we assume that Netanyahu wished to speak in terms acceptable to Europe and the United States, rather than to fight a battle which he considered lost, still it would have been better had he not deceived his listeners with the scam known as "a demilitarized state." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I heard the speech, my initial reaction was: "There ain't no such animal."  Of course, I don't mean nano-states such as Andorra or the Vatican, which have themselves chosen not to maintain an army.  There is no real state in the world defined as a demilitarized state.  And Netanyahu did not make do with a misleading general statement, he went into details: the state won't have missiles and rockets and planes, and will not be able to sign treaties. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The more I listened to this and said to myself that there is no such thing, I was reminded of something quite bothersome.  Was there once such a state?  And then one of my friends reminded me there had been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It will be forbidden to Germany to maintain or build fortifications... in this territory (West of the Rhine).... It is forbidden for Germany to maintain an army.... the German army will not include more than seven infantry divisions.... It is forbidden for Germany to import or export tanks or any other military hardware.... The German naval forces will be limited and are not to include submarines.  The armed forces of Germany will not include any air forces.... In the political realm, Germany is forbidden to enter into any treaty with Austria."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it was written and sealed in the Treaty of Versailles.  The treaty was signed on June 28, 1919, as part of the Paris Peace Conference following the First World War. Essentially, Germany became a demilitarized state and was also limited from a political perspective.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So what happened?  Did the "demilitarized" status prevent the Second World War and, worst of all, the destruction of European Jewry?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By 1922, an agreement between Russia and Germany had been signed in the Italian city of Rapallo.  The agreement was open and met the terms of the Versailles Treaty, but the conference that prepared it was secret; and there, Soviet Russia and Germany agreed on joint establishment of weapons factories, poison gas and ammunition.  German army officers were sent to Russia to be trained in the use of weapons that were forbidden to be maintained in Germany. In Germany, civilian factories were refurbished into arms factories, funded, as it were, by private individuals, not the state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I heard about the widespread activity of Jews in the Obama court and about the extreme anti-Israeli stance they are taking, and about the anger of the extreme Left in Israel over Netanyahu's speech - in that he did not express a willingness to take in Arab refugees, give away Jerusalem and dismantle settlements, all as a prepayment for negotiating with the enemies of Israel - I again thought of the Rapallo Treaty.  It was the Jewish foreign minister of Germany, Walther Rathenau, who stood behind the agreement that years later gave Nazi Germany its powerful war machine.  And it was Erhard Milch, the son of a Jewish father, who subverted the Versailles Treaty and, in the guise of civilian aeronautic companies and flying clubs, established Lufthansa, which during the war became the Luftwaffe, the German air force that in weeks overcame Poland and France and bombed London in the Blitz.  The Jewish people can be trusted to bring forth warped members who will arm the "demilitarized Palestinian state", if one should ever come to be.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The lesson being that there is no political power that can prevent a sovereign state from doing whatever it wants.  Netanyahu knows that if ever a Palestinian state should, Heaven forbid, be established, Israel will not be able to declare war on it if it should choose, for instance, to sign an international tourism agreement with Cyprus or a transfer-of-technology agreement with Iran. If pipes are manufactured in Tulkarm, Israel will not be able to start a war that can be justified in the eyes of the world if steel cutters turn the pipes into Kassam rockets.  Since nothing other than Israeli force could possibly preserve demilitarization, Netanyahu is deceiving the people of Israel and promising them something that cannot be delivered.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But all of the above is not the main thing.  The main thing is that Netanyahu has recognized the right of Arabs to establish a sovereign state in our homeland.  None of his conditions and reservations can hide this abomination.  Whoever recognizes the right of his enemy to establish a state in his homeland has abandoned all principle and all that is left to do is argue over the price. Whoever has left his religion and changed his faith cannot insist on observing the commandments of what is no longer his faith.  Whoever has abandoned his patrimony has no basis on which to insist on continuing to build on its lands.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-7503793999278726648?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/7503793999278726648/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/demilitarized-palestinian-state.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7503793999278726648'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7503793999278726648'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/demilitarized-palestinian-state.html' title='Demilitarized Palestinian State?'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-263765310293088638</id><published>2009-06-21T13:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-05T20:06:52.223-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Situation in IRAN</title><content type='html'>Coming to the elections in Iran we had elections take place in Lebanon. Before the elections in Lebanon majority of experts gave the victory to Hezbollah but their surprise Hezbollah lost to the pro-Western camp of Lebanon. That was a huge blow to Ayatollah’s regime in Iran and its president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who poured billions of dollars to Lebanon in support of Hezbollah. The problem they faced was what would have happened if hard-line lunatic Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lost to the reformist Mir Hossein Mousavi. You might rightly ask he is the same as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when it comes to the nuclear programs so he cannot be a reformist. I will address this legit question a little bit further into the post. But coming back to what if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did lose what could have been the consequences for the world, U.S.A., Israel, Syria, Radical Islam in the Middle East and around the world? In simplistic terms it would have been different for everyone. For the U.S.A. it would mean that they have a better dialogue partner to open the diplomatic channel and shun Israel off. For Israel it would have been a huge blow since majority of its offense against Iranian nuclear programs is built upon Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s hateful speeches “wipe Israel of the map” and denial of Holocaust. Thus, by eliminating Mahmoud Ahmadinejad it would stump Israel in its efforts to isolate and eventually attack Iran. For radical elements it would probably be about the same support financially and militarily because we have to remember Mir Hossein Mousavi would have remained under the Ayatollah who as we know is the Supreme Leader who makes all of the final decisions. Suffice it say, election of Mir Hossein Mousavi under previous conditions would have meant that the ugly face of the regime would have been covered by Mir Hossein Mousavi supposed reformist stance, that would have allowed for them to complete their nuclear program. Therefore, the victory of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a at the minimum a positive outcome for the efforts to stop Iranian Nuclear Program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to clarify or perhaps highlight that the president of Iran is not leader of the country Ayatollah Khamenei has the final say in everything including foreign and domestic policies. With that in mind, what is the meaning of what is happening in Iran as we speak?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The Ayatollahs of Iran are split (this is major).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. People are tired of poverty, isolation, and oppression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Mir Hossein Mousavi reborn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beginning with the first point, Ayatollahs are split in two camps Khamenei and Rafsanjani. The reason for the split is because Khamenei enjoys stability under hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thus he wants to keep him at all costs. On the other hand, Rafsanjani camp is terrified by Ahmadinejad’s militarization of the government and the country. Majority of the key posts in Iran have been given to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad friends from Basij and other organizations when he took over after Khatami. Thus, this contributed to the power decline of the Ayatollahs of Iran. We have to understand that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not religious leader he is a hardcore thug. This threat to their power made Ahmadinejad as an unlikable character to the Rafsanjani camp. So we have Ayatollah Khamenei who likes the stability with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Rafsanjani whose power is declining. This has never occurred since 1979, although protests have taken previously the Ayatollahs were always as one against the protesters. (This factor or a crack is different and it is important to take a note of it)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second point, that the people of Iran are tired of poverty, isolation, and oppression and now the arranged vote. For all of its faults we have to give Iran credit for having legit elections in the past. After all, Khatami became the president in 1997 even though he was not supported by the Ayatollah Khamenei. The Iranian people took the dire economic situation because it was their choice when it came to the elections; we have to understand that economy might not be number one factor when people are voting. But this time around it was different. The elections were engineered no doubt about it. The landslide itself explains that it was rigged. If it was a close race the protesters might have been alright with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning but when they saw unbelievable the over 60% win it was the blow to the core of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Furthermore, when the religious supreme leader approved the elections as the divine outcome it has made people even more irritated. In other words, the religious supreme leader is covering a false election by using the divine. Dishonesty and Divine is oxymoron. The people of Iran finally decided it was enough since the supreme leader is now untruthful so they began to revolt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well in order to revolt you need a figure behind who you can stand and support. That brings us to the point number three, Mir Hossein Mousavi reborn! The reason, I use the word reborn because Mir Hossein Mousavi has changed between who he was coming to the elections and who he is now after the elections. As I have mentioned above that if Mousavi won the elections and became Iranian president at the first place he would have been just a cover up for the Ayatollah Khamenei regime. But this cannot happen anymore since the threshold has been passed and is at the point of no return. Mousavi has openly challenged the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The Ayatollah has threatened Mousavi with excommunication or exile. The Ayatollah Khamenei when addressing the nation during the prayers was not joined by neither Mousavi nor Rafsanjani the head of a very power council in Iran. Rafsanjani’s family members are being arrested. But more importantly the people who protested at the beginning with “Where is my vote?” not they protest by saying “Death to Khamenei.” We can clearly see that the situation in Iran has deteriorated beyond imaginable. Mousavi understands that he cannot be the Mousavi who was going into the elections (under Khamenei figure) and this is not what people want. So he will change. That said, we have a post-protest Mousavi effect that has taken place. He does not have another option because the people does not want the old regime of the Khamenei nor they want the old Mousavi; they want reform.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, is whether this protest will overcome the Khamenei or it will be overcome by Khamenei? Honestly, I do not think anyone knows and I am not an exception. But one thing is for sure that Iran is not going to be the Iran we knew prior to the election of 2009. Once there is a crack no matter how much you cover it or glue it, it will remain there forever as a vulnerability of the Ayatollah Khamenei Regime. That said I wish the people of Iran strength and continued determination that they have demonstrated already. After all, tenths of lives have been lost already. I hope you realize your dream of freedom if that is what you seek.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-263765310293088638?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/263765310293088638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/iran.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/263765310293088638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/263765310293088638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/iran.html' title='Situation in IRAN'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-7857299902317798981</id><published>2009-06-14T17:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-14T22:14:59.284-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Netanyahu speech in full</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7d68GM6xzA"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7d68GM6xzA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benjamin Netanyahu: full speech on Palestinian state&lt;br /&gt;Below is the full transcript of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister's, speech in which he said he would accept a Palestinian state if it was unarmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Published: 10:19PM BST 14 Jun 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Honoured guests, citizens of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;Peace has always been our people's most ardent desire. Our prophets gave the world the vision of peace, we greet one another with wishes of peace, and our prayers conclude with the word peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are gathered this evening in an institution named for two pioneers of peace, Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, and we share in their vision.&lt;br /&gt;Two and half months ago, I took the oath of office as the Prime Minister of Israel. I pledged to establish a national unity government – and I did. I believed and I still believe that unity was essential for us now more than ever as we face three immense challenges – the Iranian threat, the economic crisis, and the advancement of peace.&lt;br /&gt;The Iranian threat looms large before us, as was further demonstrated yesterday. The greatest danger confronting Israel, the Middle East, the entire world and human race, is the nexus between radical Islam and nuclear weapons. I discussed this issue with President Obama during my recent visit to Washington, and I will raise it again in my meetings next week with European leaders. For years, I have been working tirelessly to forge an international alliance to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.&lt;br /&gt;Confronting a global economic crisis, the government acted swiftly to stabilise Israel's economy. We passed a two-year budget in the government – and the Knesset will soon approve it.&lt;br /&gt;And the third challenge, so exceedingly important, is the advancement of peace. I also spoke about this with President Obama, and I fully support the idea of a regional peace that he is leading.&lt;br /&gt;I share the President's desire to bring about a new era of reconciliation in our region. To this end, I met with President Mubarak in Egypt, and King Abdullah in Jordan, to elicit the support of these leaders in expanding the circle of peace in our region.&lt;br /&gt;I turn to all Arab leaders tonight and I say: "Let us meet. Let us speak of peace and let us make peace. I am ready to meet with you at any time. I am willing to go to Damascus, to Riyadh, to Beirut, to any place- including Jerusalem. I call on the Arab countries to co-operate with the Palestinians and with us to advance an economic peace. An economic peace is not a substitute for a political peace, but an important element to achieving it. Together, we can undertake projects to overcome the scarcities of our region, like water desalination or to maximise its advantages, like developing solar energy, or laying gas and petroleum lines, and transportation links between Asia, Africa and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;The economic success of the Gulf States has impressed us all and it has impressed me. I call on the talented entrepreneurs of the Arab world to come and invest here and to assist the Palestinians – and us – in spurring the economy.&lt;br /&gt;Together, we can develop industrial areas that will generate thousands of jobs and create tourist sites that will attract millions of visitors eager to walk in the footsteps of history – in Nazareth and in Bethlehem, around the walls of Jericho and the walls of Jerusalem, on the banks of the Sea of Galilee and the baptismal site of the Jordan. There is an enormous potential for archeological tourism, if we can only learn to co-operate and to develop it.&lt;br /&gt;I turn to you, our Palestinian neighbours, led by the Palestinian Authority, and I say: Let's begin negotiations immediately without preconditions. Israel is obligated by its international commitments and expects all parties to keep their commitments.&lt;br /&gt;We want to live with you in peace, as good neighbours. We want our children and your children to never again experience war: that parents, brothers and sisters will never again know the agony of losing loved ones in battle; that our children will be able to dream of a better future and realise that dream; and that together we will invest our energies in ploughshares and pruning hooks, not swords and spears.&lt;br /&gt;I know the face of war. I have experienced battle. I lost close friends, I lost a brother. I have seen the pain of bereaved families. I do not want war. No one in Israel wants war.&lt;br /&gt;If we join hands and work together for peace, there is no limit to the development and prosperity we can achieve for our two peoples – in the economy, agriculture, trade, tourism and education – most importantly, in providing our youth a better world in which to live, a life full of tranquillity, creativity, opportunity and hope.&lt;br /&gt;If the advantages of peace are so evident, we must ask ourselves why peace remains so remote, even as our hand remains outstretched to peace? Why has this conflict continued for more than sixty years?&lt;br /&gt;In order to bring an end to the conflict, we must give an honest and forthright answer to the question: What is the root of the conflict?&lt;br /&gt;In his speech to the first Zionist Conference in Basel, the founder of the Zionist movement, Theodore Herzl, said about the Jewish national home "This idea is so big that we must speak of it only in the simplest terms." Today, I will speak about the immense challenge of peace in the simplest words possible.&lt;br /&gt;Even as we look toward the horizon, we must be firmly connected to reality, to the truth. And the simple truth is that the root of the conflict was, and remains, the refusal to recognise the right of the Jewish people to a state of their own, in their historic homeland.&lt;br /&gt;In 1947, when the United Nations proposed the partition plan of a Jewish state and an Arab state, the entire Arab world rejected the resolution. The Jewish community, by contrast, welcomed it by dancing and rejoicing.&lt;br /&gt;The Arabs rejected any Jewish state, in any borders.&lt;br /&gt;Those who think that the continued enmity toward Israel is a product of our presence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, is confusing cause and consequence.&lt;br /&gt;The attacks against us began in the 1920s, escalated into a comprehensive attack in 1948 with the declaration of Israel's independence, continued with the fedayeen attacks in the 1950s, and climaxed in 1967, on the eve of the six-day war, in an attempt to tighten a noose around the neck of the State of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;All this occurred during the fifty years before a single Israeli soldier ever set foot in Judea and Samaria.&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, Egypt and Jordan left this circle of enmity. The signing of peace treaties have brought about an end to their claims against Israel, an end to the conflict. But to our regret, this is not the case with the Palestinians. The closer we get to an agreement with them, the further they retreat and raise demands that are inconsistent with a true desire to end the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;Many good people have told us that withdrawal from territories is the key to peace with the Palestinians. Well, we withdrew. But the fact is that every withdrawal was met with massive waves of terror, by suicide bombers and thousands of missiles.&lt;br /&gt;We tried to withdraw with an agreement and without an agreement. We tried a partial withdrawal and a full withdrawal. In 2000 and again last year, Israel proposed an almost total withdrawal in exchange for an end to the conflict, and twice our offers were rejected.&lt;br /&gt;We evacuated every last inch of the Gaza strip, we uprooted tens of settlements and evicted thousands of Israelis from their homes, and in response, we received a hail of missiles on our cities, towns and children.&lt;br /&gt;The claim that territorial withdrawals will bring peace with the Palestinians, or at least advance peace, has up till now not stood the test of reality.&lt;br /&gt;In addition to this, Hamas in the south, like Hizbollah in the north, repeatedly proclaims their commitment to "liberate" the Israeli cities of Ashkelon, Beersheba, Acre and Haifa. Territorial withdrawals have not lessened the hatred, and to our regret, Palestinian moderates are not yet ready to say the simple words: Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, and it will stay that way.&lt;br /&gt;Achieving peace will require courage and candour from both sides, and not only from the Israeli side. The Palestinian leadership must arise and say: "Enough of this conflict. We recognise the right of the Jewish people to a state of their own in this land, and we are prepared to live beside you in true peace." I am yearning for that moment, for when Palestinian leaders say those words to our people and to their people, then a path will be opened to resolving all the problems between our peoples, no matter how complex they may be.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, a fundamental prerequisite for ending the conflict is a public, binding and unequivocal Palestinian recognition of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. To vest this declaration with practical meaning, there must also be a clear understanding that the Palestinian refugee problem will be resolved outside Israel's borders. For it is clear that any demand for resettling Palestinian refugees within Israel undermines Israel's continued existence as the state of the Jewish people.&lt;br /&gt;The Palestinian refugee problem must be solved, and it can be solved, as we ourselves proved in a similar situation. Tiny Israel successfully absorbed tens of thousands of Jewish refugees who left their homes and belongings in Arab countries. Therefore, justice and logic demand that the Palestinian refugee problem be solved outside Israel's borders. On this point, there is a broad national consensus. I believe that with goodwill and international investment, this humanitarian problem can be permanently resolved.&lt;br /&gt;So far I have spoken about the need for Palestinians to recognise our rights. In a moment, I will speak openly about our need to recognise their rights. But let me first say that the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel has lasted for more than 3500 years. Judea and Samaria, the places where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, David and Solomon, and Isaiah and Jeremiah lived, are not alien to us. This is the land of our forefathers.&lt;br /&gt;The right of the Jewish people to a state in the land of Israel does not derive from the catastrophes that have plagued our people. True, for 2000 years the Jewish people suffered expulsions, pogroms, blood libels, and massacres which culminated in a Holocaust – a suffering which has no parallel in human history. There are those who say that if the Holocaust had not occurred, the state of Israel would never have been established. But I say that if the state of Israel would have been established earlier, the Holocaust would not have occurred. This tragic history of powerlessness explains why the Jewish people need a sovereign power of self-defence. But our right to build our sovereign state here, in the land of Israel, arises from one simple fact: this is the homeland of the Jewish people, this is where our identity was forged. As Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion proclaimed in Israel's Declaration of Independence: "The Jewish people arose in the land of Israel and it was here that its spiritual, religious and political character was shaped. Here they attained their sovereignty, and here they bequeathed to the world their national and cultural treasures, and the most eternal of books."&lt;br /&gt;But we must also tell the truth in its entirety: within this homeland lives a large Palestinian community. We do not want to rule over them, we do not want to govern their lives, we do not want to impose either our flag or our culture on them.&lt;br /&gt;In my vision of peace, in this small land of ours, two peoples live freely, side-by-side, in amity and mutual respect. Each will have its own flag, its own national anthem, its own government. Neither will threaten the security or survival of the other.&lt;br /&gt;These two realities – our connection to the land of Israel, and the Palestinian population living within it – have created deep divisions in Israeli society. But the truth is that we have much more that unites us than divides us. I have come tonight to give expression to that unity, and to the principles of peace and security on which there is broad agreement within Israeli society. These are the principles that guide our policy.&lt;br /&gt;This policy must take into account the international situation that has recently developed. We must recognise this reality and at the same time stand firmly on those principles essential for Israel. I have already stressed the first principle – recognition. Palestinians must clearly and unambiguously recognise Israel as the state of the Jewish people. The second principle is: demilitarisation. The territory under Palestinian control must be demilitarised with ironclad security provisions for Israel. Without these two conditions, there is a real danger that an armed Palestinian state would emerge that would become another terrorist base against the Jewish state, such as the one in Gaza. We don't want Kassam rockets on Petach Tikva, Grad rockets on Tel Aviv, or missiles on Ben-Gurion airport. We want peace.&lt;br /&gt;In order to achieve peace, we must ensure that Palestinians will not be able to import missiles into their territory, to field an army, to close their airspace to us, or to make pacts with the likes of Hizbollah and Iran. On this point as well, there is wide consensus within Israel.&lt;br /&gt;It is impossible to expect us to agree in advance to the principle of a Palestinian state without assurances that this state will be demilitarised.&lt;br /&gt;On a matter so critical to the existence of Israel, we must first have our security needs addressed.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, today we ask our friends in the international community, led by the United States, for what is critical to the security of Israel: Clear commitments that in a future peace agreement, the territory controlled by the Palestinians will be demilitarised: namely, without an army, without control of its airspace, and with effective security measures to prevent weapons smuggling into the territory – real monitoring, and not what occurs in Gaza today. And obviously, the Palestinians will not be able to forge military pacts.&lt;br /&gt;Without this, sooner or later, these territories will become another Hamastan. And that we cannot accept.&lt;br /&gt;I told President Obama when I was in Washington that if we could agree on the substance, then the terminology would not pose a problem. And here is the substance that I now state clearly: If we receive this guarantee regarding demilitirization and Israel's security needs, and if the Palestinians recognise Israel as the State of the Jewish people, then we will be ready in a future peace agreement to reach a solution where a demilitarised Palestinian state exists alongside the Jewish state.&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the remaining important issues that will be discussed as part of the final settlement, my positions are known: Israel needs defensible borders, and Jerusalem must remain the united capital of Israel with continued religious freedom for all faiths.&lt;br /&gt;The territorial question will be discussed as part of the final peace agreement. In the meantime, we have no intention of building new settlements or of expropriating additional land for existing settlements.&lt;br /&gt;But there is a need to enable the residents to live normal lives, to allow mothers and fathers to raise their children like families elsewhere. The settlers are neither the enemies of the people nor the enemies of peace. Rather, they are an integral part of our people, a principled, pioneering and Zionist public.&lt;br /&gt;Unity among us is essential and will help us achieve reconciliation with our neighbours. That reconciliation must already begin by altering existing realities. I believe that a strong Palestinian economy will strengthen peace.&lt;br /&gt;If the Palestinians turn toward peace – in fighting terror, in strengthening governance and the rule of law, in educating their children for peace and in stopping incitement against Israel – we will do our part in making every effort to facilitate freedom of movement and access, and to enable them to develop their economy. All of this will help us advance a peace treaty between us.&lt;br /&gt;Above all else, the Palestinians must decide between the path of peace and the path of Hamas. The Palestinian Authority will have to establish the rule of law in Gaza and overcome Hamas. Israel will not sit at the negotiating table with terrorists who seek their destruction. Hamas will not even allow the Red Cross to visit our kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, who has spent three years in captivity, cut off from his parents, his family and his people. We are committed to bringing him home, healthy and safe.&lt;br /&gt;With a Palestinian leadership committed to peace, with the active participation of the Arab world, and the support of the United States and the international community, there is no reason why we cannot achieve a breakthrough to peace.&lt;br /&gt;Our people have already proven that we can do the impossible. Over the past 61 years, while constantly defending our existence, we have performed wonders. Our microchips are powering the world's computers. Our medicines are treating diseases once considered incurable. Our drip irrigation is bringing arid lands back to life across the globe. And Israeli scientists are expanding the boundaries of human knowledge. If only our neighbours would respond to our call Â– peace too will be in our reach.&lt;br /&gt;I call on the leaders of the Arab world and on the Palestinian leadership, let us continue together on the path of Menahem Begin and Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin and King Hussein. Let us realise the vision of the prophet Isaiah, who in Jerusalem 2700 years ago said: "nations shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall learn war no more."&lt;br /&gt;With God's help, we will know no more war. We will know peace."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/5535664/Benjamin-Netanyahu-full-speech-on-Palestinian-state.html"&gt;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/5535664/Benjamin-Netanyahu-full-speech-on-Palestinian-state.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-7857299902317798981?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/7857299902317798981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/netanyahu-speech-in-full.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7857299902317798981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7857299902317798981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/netanyahu-speech-in-full.html' title='Netanyahu speech in full'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4175189665773923418</id><published>2009-06-13T21:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-13T21:46:19.734-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two State Solution (Israel not included)</title><content type='html'>In the Middle East words and phrases have different meanings from those in the West. For example peace (West) means truce (Middle East). For Israel’s partners’ peace in Western terms for them means reconciliation; for reconciliation to occur there must be no foreign occupation of any part of Dar-al-Islam. That is exactly why they portray Israel as foreign occupants and migrants from Europe. That is exactly why they deny the Jewish History to Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, Hebron, and other places that belong to Israel. In other words, deception is a major ingredient of their diplomatic war against the west. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, here are some facts about the “Two State Solution”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. It means Second Palestinian State in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria (Jordan #1).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The right of return of the so-called Palestinian refugee (around 4,000,000 people) into mainland Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. JudenFree Judea and Samaria same as Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The end of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Look at the British Mandate of Palestine it incorporates present day Israel and Jordan; that was partitioned into “two-state for two people,” and ratified by the League of Nation the predecessor of the United Nations. Thus, Jordan is the first Palestinian State. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The United Nations recognized around 800,000 from 1940s- refugees from the Muslim lands but does not specifically say they were Jewish. The United Nations also recognizes around 600,000 so-called Palestinian refugees. But the major difference between the two of them is that the Jewish Refugees number remained the same but the Palestinian Refugees are accumulating number from 600,000 to now around 4,000,000. How is that possible? Well the U.N. based on unexplainable reason adds every Arab descendent from those 600,000 to that number.  Well shouldn’t they use the same treatment for the Jewish Refugees there were absorbed by Israel and other countries? &lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, 4,000,000 Arabs returning to Israel will make majority Arabs in Israel then Jews thus the end of the Jewish State. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Can someone explain to me one thing because I still don’t get it, why do the Jews had to leave Gaza or have to leave Judea and Samaria in the final settlement solution? While at the same time Israel has to absorb millions of Arabs? And how is it justified? Because in my understanding this is the repression of the Jews by the World Community who are supporting this including E.U., Russia, U.S.A. and other members of the quartet.  This solution is blatant discrimination and suppression of the Jewish People in the only Jewish State in the world. This solution will bring apartheid where Jews will become second class citizens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I do not think you have to be a political or strategic analyst to understand that this means the end of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, whoever is supporting the “two state solution” is not supporting Israel and Jordan but supporting Jordan and Palestine, thus the destruction of Israel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4175189665773923418?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4175189665773923418/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/two-state-solution-israel-not-included.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4175189665773923418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4175189665773923418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/two-state-solution-israel-not-included.html' title='Two State Solution (Israel not included)'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-5258739122505843739</id><published>2009-06-10T17:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-10T17:51:34.928-07:00</updated><title type='text'>American National Security (Part1)</title><content type='html'>The issue of the national security is not a static but an evolving matter. Therefore the approach towards the subject of the national security requires ongoing improvement or refinement in order to engage them accordingly. Indeed at the strategic level, there is a paradox of whether to address immediate threats with low plausibility now or wait until those threats might become highly plausible in the future. To illustrate this paradox, the strategic doctrines that denote the nation’s vital interests that unsurprisingly flow into the concept of containment, will be discussed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to use the anthropological term age grade that incorporates a certain age phases (infancy, childhood, adolescence, the college years, young adulthood, middle ages, and old age)&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt; in analogy with United States’ evolution in regards to the national security strategy in order to give a little context. Before the Independence from the Great Britain, future United States was in its infant stage heavily depending on its parent support. Than arrived the childhood stage during that time the Great Britain was overwhelmed by the wars in Europe. As a child future United States learned how to depend on itself while the parent was busy with grown up affairs and did not pay enough attention to the child. Once the parent wanted to reestablish authoritative bond that once existed, the future United States was in the adolescence stage; thus heavily resisted its parent’s authority to bow to the demands. That brought the war of Independence in which the United States became a newly established sovereign country. In other words, the U.S. has moved out of its parents house, therefore as a newly established country the vulnerabilities are everywhere and capabilities to mitigate them are miniature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accordingly, the U.S. entered its college years in which it learned to “navigate the ship-of-state through these troubled diplomatic waters.”&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt; During the college years the U.S. has utilized its inherent location (the detached and distant situation) to formulate its foreign policies.&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt; As a result, the first four policies emerged Exceptionalism, Unilateralism, the American System, and Expansionism. During those periods the United States’ defined immediate threats that should have been addressed accordingly, things like pirates or any threat that was within close proximity to its borders. But as the time went the proximity has changed as the national interests of the United States have amplified. It came to a point that a tiny strip in the east has occupied the lands from Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean (water’s edge theory).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During college the United States has simultaneously began the young adulthood years, but after finishing college that stage was quite different in terms that it had began its real job. In other words, it has began to embark on the world stage by McKinley’s progressive imperialism, by sending its fleet around the world, and its first major involvement (alliance) with other countries breaking away from the notion of entangling alliances and that the U.S. does not hunt for monsters abroad.&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt; As years passed by another war was plunged upon the United States but this time the exception to the rule has become a rule. The entangling alliances were there and the U.S. did not withdraw back to its hemisphere. The U.S. has finally entered its middle ages with the Era of Containment (inhibition) and Global Meliorism (charity) surpassing the Era of Liberal Internationalism. At its middle ages, the United States enjoyed economic, political, and social hegemony in the Western Hemisphere and a significant influence around the world. That has become hegemony after the Soviet Union collapsed, thus ending the Cold War (unipolar moment). &lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt; As a result the Containment Era had ended but the Era of Global Meliorism took more aggressive posture. That has also contributed to rapid globalization trend that has contributed to the geopolitical shrinking of the globe.&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"&gt;[6]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt; Conrad Phillip Kottak, On Being Different: Age and Generations (New York: McGraw Hill, 2008), 187.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2" title="" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7776572304636759347#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt; Francis P.

After all, the blog is about the Middle East the most complicated and volatile region of the world, thus, by at least making the blog user friendly it will enhance effectiveness of our quest towards factual information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, if you have any suggestions or questions regarding the changes or any other aspects of the blog, I will gladly take them into the consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind Regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish Refugee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:IsraelActNow@gmail.com"&gt;IsraelActNow@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4329727281259674888?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4329727281259674888/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-technical-update.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4329727281259674888'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4329727281259674888'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-technical-update.html' title='Blog Technical Update'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-7322269166024062868</id><published>2009-06-01T19:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T19:37:20.077-07:00</updated><title type='text'>American Jews</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SiSOKVECQ7I/AAAAAAAAANA/Rj0OjTjPsyA/s1600-h/080423_US_and_Israel_flags.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 211px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342551366072157106" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SiSOKVECQ7I/AAAAAAAAANA/Rj0OjTjPsyA/s400/080423_US_and_Israel_flags.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since Day One in the office he began selling Israel short when he called Abu-Mazen before any other leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He and his VP made trips to the Middle East and have not visited Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pressure that is put on Israel is disproportionate with the pressure on the other side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The anti-Israeli trend is here and the trend is strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just want to say that not all the Jews have voted for him; yes it is true that we are only the minority against the 80% who did vote. Also, not all the Americans voted for him as well. At times it upsets me when non-Jews care more for the Jewish State of Israel then the Jews themselves. But at the same time, I would like to thank those people for understanding what it means for Israel to remain a Jewish State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I am writing this article is because I hear the soreness and pain from the Israeli Jews who think that we have betrayed Israel on November 4th 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again we are the 20% of the Jews and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We support Israel,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We support Judea, Samaria, Golan Heights, Aza, and above all, United Jerusalem to remain Israel,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We support the growth within Israel we do not call them settlements or outposts we call them Israel,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are against appeasement and capitulation (THREE STATE SOLUTION) yes three states Jordan is the first Arab State why should there be two more in Aza, Judea, and Samaria?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE SUPPORT ISRAEL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as the 80% of them what can we do, they are still our brothers and sisters? Let’s hope that come next elections into the congress 2010 and presidential elections 2012 they make the right decisions. One might rightfully say there is going to be a lot of damage done to the American-Israeli relationship and Israeli security during those years. I agree but we are Jews the nations of great fortitude that has outlived all the world empires and I do not see a reason why that would change now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, Israel was, is, and will always be God Willing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish State was before the Babylonians and after them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish State was before the Greeks and after them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish State was before the Romans and after them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish State was before the Islamic Empires and after them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jewish State was before the United States and it will be so after United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, don't worry Obama is here for maximum of 8 years but the Jewish State is for Eternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel &gt; Obama&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-7322269166024062868?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/7322269166024062868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/american-jews.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7322269166024062868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7322269166024062868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/american-jews.html' title='American Jews'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SiSOKVECQ7I/AAAAAAAAANA/Rj0OjTjPsyA/s72-c/080423_US_and_Israel_flags.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-1104670276309842968</id><published>2009-05-31T00:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-31T00:07:32.341-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fire Sale of Israel!</title><content type='html'>If you do not have time to watch the whole video which I do recommend; the most revealing part of the video is from 20:45 to the end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/giaNfFH-vLQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/giaNfFH-vLQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-1104670276309842968?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/1104670276309842968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/fire-sale-of-israel.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/1104670276309842968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/1104670276309842968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/fire-sale-of-israel.html' title='Fire Sale of Israel!'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4024335713450874111</id><published>2009-05-28T19:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T19:52:18.681-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks North Korea?</title><content type='html'>The 21st century has experienced two nuclear device testing and both of these tests took place in North Korea. Recently, North Korea has tested a nuclear device and several short-range missiles that broke out the havoc around the world. The implications of this act of disobedience from North Korea can take our discussion in several different directions. But the title surprisingly “thanks” North Korea for its disobedience. One might rightfully ask who in the right mind would thank for such a provocative act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it is not a secret that North Korea, Iran, Syria, and other countries are pursuing the development of the weapons of mass destructions. On the other hand, we have countries like U.S., China, Russia, and other countries that are pursuing or supposedly pursuing non-proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction. So we have two camps that are opposing each other or supposedly opposing each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, let’s throw in another factor into the equation; that would be Israel that is threatened by the members of the former camp (Iran and Syria). Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited Washington where he was asked or pressured to delay or forget about the potential military strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities due to the diplomatic track that would take place between Tehran and Washington in order to resolve the standoff between Iran and Israel, U.S., U.N., E.U., Russia, and others. The only problem is that the time is running out before Iran will actually have a functional (deliverable) nuclear device and Israel whose very existence is threatened cannot afford for this to happen. Therefore, we have a dilemma when does Israel know that diplomatic track has lost its ground hence, the green light to strike Iran. I am one of those people who are called pessimists but I like to call myself realist, therefore I believe that the diplomacy has already failed even before it began. But the world that we live in is very complex, especially with the new administration in Washington that has made it even more complex. The president of the United States has asked or ordered the prime minister of Israel to halt potential military strike on Iran to give the diplomacy a chance. Israel does not want to say no but it understands that there are limits for goodwill; that is when goodwill contributes to suicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Netanyahu returns to Israel perplexed as to what to do and when? But comes May 25, 2009 and North Korea has increased the tensions to a whole different level. Thus, North Korea takes priority over Iran due to close proximity to the nuclear device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT? WHY?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can a small country like North Korea draw so much attention? The answer is simple. NORTH KOREA IS A CASE STUDY IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER! A PRECEDENT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the new administration advocating non-proliferation and the fast track negotiations with the Russians regarding the renewal of Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty on one side and rogue states like North Korea and Iran blatantly challenging the order on the other side. There is a dilemma of its own. What should the new administration do? Well there are three tools of power that are: Diplomatic, Economic, and Military. In regards to North Korea and Iran Diplomatic and Economic tools were already used, but the new administration wants to try the diplomatic and economic tracks once again in hopes that it will be different. But as Benjamin Franklin once said “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only aspect that is different now is that instead of Iran being the country that would be approached to cease its nuclear progress it would be North Korea. So Washington is going to have the chance to demonstrate how the diplomacy will work with North Korea before Iran. Let us remember that there are higher stakes in Asia-Pacific than in the Middle East. The second largest economy in the world Japan is at stake. South Korea another important country is at stake. So let me guess Washington will force South Korea to surrender territories and share its capital with North Korea? Or it would force South Korea to sponsor North Korea’s regime by sending them money, construction materials, food, and other supplies so North Korea does not fall into humanitarian crisis? In other words sponsor your own suicide. Why not that is what Israel is ordered to do if it’s wants United States to stop Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, thanks North Korea for your swiftness. If the United States fails to stop North Korea that is significantly smaller in its territory, resources, and population than there should be no doubts left in Israel or around the world that Washington will not be able to stop Iran from acquiring weapons of mass destruction. In other words, diplomacy will fail and Iran will acquire its weapons because if North Korea is not stopped the Iranian leadership will draw conclusion that Iran is also eligible. Thus, Israel has green light to strike Iran; the last or the default tool that is called military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time is running out for the new administration to prove its capabilities.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4024335713450874111?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4024335713450874111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/thanks-north-korea.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4024335713450874111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4024335713450874111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/thanks-north-korea.html' title='Thanks North Korea?'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-3541639725911018276</id><published>2009-05-24T14:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-24T14:12:48.823-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jerusalem in Torah!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;

Throngs are converging on the city of Jerusalem to celebrate "Yom Yerushalayim" the day that marks the liberation of Jerusalem from Jordanian hands after the "Six Day War" in 1967. As a religious Jew I will recite "Hallel" today as I do on other Jewish holidays. Today I would like to dedicate my words to the city of Jerusalem and what it has meant to the Jewish people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For one, our relationship to Jerusalem is an irrational one. I say this for a very simple reason. Notwithstanding war and oppression, the main reason why most people move has to do with economics. In today's mobile world people pick up and move because new opportunities await them. These opportunities come in the form of better jobs, more educational opportunities, and an overall improvement in their standard of living. Certainly it would be irrational to move to a new place where one would earn less money and live under greater hardship!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet this is precisely the story of the Jews who moved to Jerusalem before the establishment of the State of Israel, especially the Sephardim who formed the majority of Jerusalem's population after the Ottoman conquest in 1517. Thousands flocked to live in Jerusalem preferring its cramped quarters, unsanitary conditions, and lack of food, to a far more affluent life in Turkey and other places under Ottoman rule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This message hit home for me after reading a fascinating book written by Yaacov Yehoshua, one of the foremost writers about life in Jerusalem in yesteryears. Yaacov Yehoshua was one of those Sephardic Jews who along with his family grew up in Jerusalem's Old City. In a series of books he describes the day to day life of Jerusalemites during the early 1900's. His books are worth reading but I will suffice to share with you a few quotes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When describing the overall condition of the Jewish community he writes the following, "Jerusalem was a city that consisted almost completely of poor people." He even gives a powerful description of the vast network of organizations that existed to help the poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One such organization worked out of the very courtyard I am writing these words from. It is the courtyard of the Sephardic Educational Center in Jerusalem. About the courtyard he had the following to say, "The poor people of the Sephardic community would gather on Shabbat in the courtyard of the Talmud Torah there partaking of the Hamin (Shabbat stew) that was prepared for them by the righteous woman of the courtyard... For the modest ones they sent the food with messengers. These were poor people who were ashamed to show their faces with all those who came to partake of the food."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yaacov Yehoshua sums up the situation in the following way, "How shaking it was to see the poor who gathered on Shabbat in order to merit a portion of hot food. Anyone who did not see or hear the cries of the poor of the Sephardic community in the holy city never knew what true poverty was".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on with more examples but suffice it to say that most of Jerusalem's Jews lived under dire straits. There was poverty, overcrowding, disease, and much suffering. In fact the very courtyard that Yaacov Yehoshua writes about, that today is part of the SEC, was used by the Sephardic community as housing for poor widows. It was those same women who cooked for the poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the courtyard each room was about the size of a modern day storage room no more than ten feet by ten feet. In each room lived a woman with her children. In some cases five or six people lived in one room. It was a far cry from the lavish homes most of us are presently accustomed to. But herein is the secret of the Jews who lived in Jerusalem. To them it was a palace. They preferred that small room, with little food, over a far more comfortable life elsewhere. They felt privileged to be living in Jerusalem, and they were not prepared to trade their lives for any other place in the world. They chose to live in poverty when a far richer life awaited them in Constantinople, Salonica, Izmir and many other places. In their eyes their ten by ten room was far more luxurious that a mansion in Istanbul. They woke up every day and raised their eyes to the heavens thanking G-d for the great privilege they were given to live in Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did these Jews voluntarily choose such a life? Why did they move to a city where poverty and disease were rampant? What was behind such irrational behavior? Why throughout millennia have Jews flocked to Jerusalem no matter the conditions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Friends, the answer is a simple one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without a heart the body cannot survive. Jerusalem is the heart of the Jewish people. It is our eternal capital, the place where all of our hopes and dreams emanate from. Without Jerusalem a Jew, no matter where they are in the world, is only half a person. This idea is expressed beautifully in a Rabbinic statement that is associated with the first mention of Jerusalem in the Torah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The first mention of Jerusalem in the Torah is in an episode where Abraham defeats a number of Kings in order to free his relative Lot who was in captivity. After that battle we are told the following, "And Malki Zedek the king of Shalem greeted him with bread and wine and he was a priest of G-d" (Genesis 14:18). &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The city "Shalem" is one and the same as Jerusalem. This is the first time the city is ever mentioned in the Torah. But our Rabbis were troubled by the discrepancy in the Torah's name (Shalem) and in the commonly used name (Jerusalem). The common name adds the prefix of "Jeru" (in Hebrew Yeru) to the last part of "Shalem" (in Hebrew Salem). Why not, they ask, just keep the original name of "Shalem"? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Midrash (Beresheet Raba 56) answers this discrepancy. The Midrash explains that the city actually had two names. Abraham gave it the name "Yeru" when he called it "Hashem Yireh" which means G-d will see. "Malki Zedek" on the other hand called it "Shalem" as the Torah mentions. The Midrash explains that G-d had a dilemma in choosing which of the two names to use. On the one hand it was written as "Shalem" in the Torah. But on the other hand the righteous Abraham gave it the name "Yeru", how could one overlook the righteous Abraham? In the end the Midrash explains that a compromise was reached and the two names were combined to form "Jerusalem" (Yeru-Shalem).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The message of this Midrash is significant because the combination of the two words describes the real inner essence of Jerusalem. The two names go hand in hand. The word "Shalem" means whole, while the word "Yeru" means G-d will see or we will see how awesome G-d is. Because only in Jerusalem are we whole, and only in Jerusalem is our relationship with G-d whole. Indeed without Jerusalem we are only half a person and half a nation. Jerusalem is our lifeline, it is the heart that beats and nourishes the souls of every Jew no matter where they are. It is for this reason that Jerusalem must always remain united. The city that makes us whole can never be divided. The Sephardic Jews who lived here knew this message all too well. To the modern eye it may have seemed irrational. But then again, when is love ever rational?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom and a Happy Yom Yerushalayim&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rabbi Yosef Benarroch&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-5299159191258348304?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/5299159191258348304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/jerusalem-without-you-i-am-half-person.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/5299159191258348304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/5299159191258348304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/jerusalem-without-you-i-am-half-person.html' title='Jerusalem-Without You I am Half a Person'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-295009409734082811</id><published>2009-05-21T16:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-22T05:16:07.306-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Talkbackers at Ynet!

King David and Solomon were there way before the Romans and had Jerusalem as its capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Jerusalem is mentioned in Torah more than 200 times while Jerusalem in Quran is not even mentioned once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. As to those who claim AL Masjid Al Aqsa is mentioned in Quran for your information the Masque was built after Muhammad’s death so he could never been there. As far him going there on the horse in one night it is impossible what it says he flew there on the horse (half horse half human horse) that I leave up to you to decide whether horses fly or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. There stood two temples and all of the artifacts to prove that Greater Israel including its capital Jerusalem were, are, and always will be Jewish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sooner you accept the truth and stop leaving in lies the better it is for all of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observers Comments:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="text12" onclick="showTb(23994503,0);return false" href="javascript:;"&gt;46. #37 I challenge you to quote where in Moses' Torah &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jerusalem was mentioned only once. One single quotation I'm awaiting for.&lt;br /&gt;observer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(05.22.09)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my response to the observer and other Miso-Judaic talkbackers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://www.mythsandfacts.com/Conflict/3/Jerusalem.pdf"&gt;http://www.mythsandfacts.com/Conflict/3/Jerusalem.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2008/11/must-watch-video.html"&gt;http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2008/11/must-watch-video.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Side note:&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, I feel sorry for all of you who deny the truth; it is not because you are inherently terrible or brainless it’s just your government or the environment you grew up in has brainwashed you for a long time. I was in the same situation before I came to the U.S.; I thought that it was Israel's fault and that Palestinians should take what belongs to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But after I found out about INTERNET, BOOKS, UNBIAS SELF-STUDY, and above all that HISTORY DID NOT START IN 1948 I began to feel ashamed that I let myself to be fooled in believing the lies that my government and the environment fed me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, I hope you all will have the chance to look at the HISTORY from different perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said we are in different countries enjoying the perks of a great life; but those in Darfur, Sri-Lanka, Israel (Judea, Samaria, and Aza), Pakistan, and other places endure great suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might sound strange coming from me, but I feel sorry for Arabs living in Aza and Judea and Samaria because they are played as a bargain chip by the Arab, Iranian, Western, and other governments to promote their interest in the region and the world at large. The reason I feel sorry for them that they don’t understand that they are being fooled for the reason that they don’t have proper universal education that involves well rounded view about the world. They have the leaders that sacrifice them, rob them of their humanitarian aid (money and food). They just don’t have any representation. But above all they hate Israel and Jews more than they love life. I mean how desperate you have to be to hate life so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this does not mean that Israel should be weak, on the contrary Israel should be an example to its neighbors. Israel is a democratic country that allows elections, freedom of press; it even allows enemies in the Israeli Parliament, and other freedoms that other Middle Eastern nations can only dream of. Therefore, you should praise Israel for its courage and follow their example. But because you just don’t want to think outside the box; you will bring more wars and more lives would be squandered for no reason.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-295009409734082811?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/295009409734082811/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/talkbackers-at-ynet-challenge.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/295009409734082811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/295009409734082811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/talkbackers-at-ynet-challenge.html' title='Talkbackers at Ynet! &quot;Challenge&quot;'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4286651632770576500</id><published>2009-05-21T08:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-21T08:53:35.903-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Eli Cohen</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/ShV3ohMFHxI/AAAAAAAAAM4/VxNLfgrTky0/s1600-h/200eli_cohenPRI_OR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 138px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338304471305101074" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/ShV3ohMFHxI/AAAAAAAAAM4/VxNLfgrTky0/s400/200eli_cohenPRI_OR.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eli Cohen (1924-1965)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On May 18, 1965, the Government of Syria executed Eli Cohen, despite protests from world leaders and Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was never allowed a defense at his trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was brutally tortured during interrogation in defiance of international humanitarian law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His body was never returned to his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most memorable and daring attempts to infiltrate Syria, which at the time controlled the Golan Heights and frequently shelled the Israeli settlers down below is that of Eliahu ben Shaoul Cohen an Egyptian born Jew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eliahu ben Shaoul Cohen, worked as a Mossad agent in Damascus, Syria under the alias of Kamal Amin Ta'abet from 1962 until his exposure and execution on May 18, 1965. Cohen was able to supply considerable details on Syrian political and military matters because of his strong interpersonal skills and abilities to build close ties with business, military, and Ba'ath Party leaders, and Syrian President Amin el Hafiz. He was hanged in Martyr's Square with the television cameras rolling for the entire world to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eli was privy to secrets of the Syrian elite including those of national security. Eli was considered to be named the Syrian Deputy Minister of Defense. He was the only civilian to receive private tours of military installations, even being photographed in the then Syrian controlled Golan Heights with high ranking Syrian officials looking over into Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result Eli sent highly informative reports back to Israel detailing the Syrian water deviation project and each and every one of the outposts on the Golan, including tank traps designed to impede any Israeli attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eli’s influence on Syrian officials helped Israel beyond measure. Eli suggested that the Syrians plant trees on the Golan near each of their fortifications. Based on the eucalyptus trees, Israel knew exactly where the Syrian fortifications were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two years after his death, in June 1967, the intelligence Eli Cohen provided enabled Israel to capture the Golan Heights in two days as part of Israel's victory in the Six Days War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eli Cohen was the greatest Mossad agent Israel has ever known. He was greatly admired by all, including the Syrians. His deeds fed and are still feeding the imagination and fantasy of many. He is a hero who sacrificed his life for the sake of Israel, his fellow Jews, his children and his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is 38 years since he was hanged. The Syrian government still has not returned his remains to his family for a proper Jewish burial in Israel where 'Kaddish' can be said at his gravesite. It is Time; the Time Is Now, to demand that his remains be returned. Therefore, we call upon everyone to sign our Petition to Dr. Bashar el Assad, President of Syrian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope to reunite his remains with the land and the family he loved so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information please visit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.elicohen.org/"&gt;http://www.elicohen.org/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;To sign the petition please click on this link:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/EliCohen/"&gt;http://www.petitiononline.com/EliCohen/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4286651632770576500?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4286651632770576500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/eli-cohen.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4286651632770576500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4286651632770576500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/05/eli-cohen.html' title='Eli Cohen'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/ShV3ohMFHxI/AAAAAAAAAM4/VxNLfgrTky0/s72-c/200eli_cohenPRI_OR.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-515671298648089721</id><published>2009-05-02T18:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-02T20:56:54.930-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Age of Liberal Internationalism</title><content type='html'>With a new administration in Washington our allies and friends are taking new approach in regards to their security affairs. I have posted not that long ago about Japan’s and South Korea’s frustrations regarding the United States’ passive actions towards North Korea launching a long range missile under the disguise of the experimental communication satellite. At the end of that post I said that “Alliances’ will be redrawn, and it will happen very soon.” Even though alliances’ are not yet redrawn as it takes more time than a month but we see a slight deviation in those alliances’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia has just announced its plans to upgrade its air and navy forces by buying 100 F-35 Joint Strike Jetfighters and doubling the size of its submarine fleet. The official reason for this military buildup is the Chinese and other Asia-Pacific countries military buildup. The question is why now? After all the world is going through a severe economic downturn that is close to a magnitude of the Great Depression; thus this buildup will require tremendous amount of money. The Chinese did not start this military buildup last month it has been going on for quite some time already. South Korea and Japan are rethinking their military plans as well. What is with this shift in Asia-Pacific or is just Asia-Pacific perhaps there are other regions that are getting ready as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer lays in our new administration that has taken on a different approach (New Foreign Policy). After World War II ended, two new foreign policies emerged Containment and Global Meliorism. Containment was the military counterforce against the Soviet Union’s communist expansion. While Global Meliorism played the part of helping nation-states financially and theoretically to rebuilt and improve their life styles (World Bank, IMF, Marshal Plan, and so forth); in a way Containment and Global Meliorism were important to each other. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the age of Containment was irrelevant while the age of Global Meliorism ended after September 11, 2001. The Bush administration brought forth the policy of Preemption that is now being reversed with a full speed under the new administration. The question is where is it being reversed to? It is being reversed to the “Age of Liberal Internationalism.” By no means are Preemption or Liberal Internationalism are new concepts to the United States or the world history. But the problem with the Age of Liberal Internationalism that has taken place since 1919-1945 that is has failed and brought the bloodiest World War II. One might ask what the Age of Liberal Internationalism was. After World War I ended President Woodrow Wilson put forth the idea of International body that would put an end to bloody conflicts. The League of Nations was born the predecessor of the United Nations. Well there is no secret that it did not stop the World War II. The mechanism did not work the way it was supposed to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have covered rudimentary concepts of the American Foreign Policies, let us now come back to what we were discussing. The new administration is surrendering its role that it has taken since 1945 and putting them into the hands of the International body that is called United Nations. Yes United Nations the impartial judge, peace loving, and so forth. Well at least that what it is on the papers in practice we all know what it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well because those countries know what United Nations represents (nothing) and they are seeing that United States has begun abandoning its friends and allies; countries like Australia, Japan, and South Korea that used to rely on the United States to protect them are taking their security matters into their own hands. This did not start with these countries and it will not end with these countries; the world is about to rearm at a greater speed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question is what for? I hope you all know the answer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resources:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j1FyzckTMBiojpr4hn2ssadCpaUAD97U12580"&gt;http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j1FyzckTMBiojpr4hn2ssadCpaUAD97U12580&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.

Another interesting side to analyze is Hamas and Fatah, after all Hamas (Arabs) is the Iran while Fatah is from the other camp. In addition, we have media Al-Arabia versus Al-Jazeera that belong to two opposing camps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fault Line:&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have covered the rudimentary principles of these spheres of influences that have already formed, let us discuss the current situation in Egypt that has declared Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Qatar, and others in a conspiracy to overthrow Mubarak’s regime in Egypt. Well that is the same policy that has been successfully implanted in Lebanon.&lt;br /&gt;At any rate, Egypt has reacted so strongly against a fellow Muslim country so openly? Why?&lt;br /&gt;I understand why but I want to emphasize the openness of this reaction. What is with openness?&lt;br /&gt;Could it be that the Arab-Sunni bloc is afraid of growing Iranian grip and influence that is encroaching slowly? Could it be that, Iran is about to develop a nuclear bomb that will threaten the security of those regimes? Or is it the Washington’s new appeasement approach that was and is the only guarantor of the Arab-Sunni block?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is probably combination of all of those theories, but greater part falls on the latter one. Washington has indicated that Iran might be able to keep its nuclear program and perhaps develop nuclear bombs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That has contributed to a nervous reaction through the Arab World that is now disappointed by this acceptance of nuclear Iran. So if it is not for United States, who else can do the dirty laundry for Arab-Sunni world?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is the so-called arch-enemy of the Muslim World ISRAEL. Israel is the only party that has the interest and the capabilities to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that reminds us of the proverb that is widely popular in the Middle East, “enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Just in this case we have shifts in the tectonic plates in regards who the enemy and the friend now. For the Arab-Sunni world Iran is the enemy and Israel is the friend. The convenience friend in this dire situation for the Arab-Sunni world is Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in that part of the world everything is about bargain a.k.a. bargain diplomacy. Israel has found itself in a risky situation with Iranian growing influence but with risks come opportunities; the greater the risks, the greater the opportunities. Israel can offer to take out Iran which also coincides with Israel’s interests, but for that to happen the Arab-Sunni side has to offer something in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The possibilities are numerous but one that Netanyahu and his administration can ask for is for the Arab world to forget about the creation of the Palestinian State, to accept the Jewish State of Israel, and finally normalize diplomatic and economic cooperation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all by blaming Israel for every failure of the Islamic World has not made that part of the world better. On the contrary, it only has fueled Iranian propaganda machine that uses that exact the same theory to turn that region into the pro-Iranian battle field against the current establishment of the Arab-Sunni World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, we can touch on the last part of the spheres of influence that is pro-Western versus anti-Western camps. Whether you want it or not, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and others are considered to be pro-Western oriented while the opposition to that is Iran, Syria, and others. Note that all of those countries could not become all pro-Western due to the first sphere of influence mentioned above that hold priority over the rest. The switch is possible, but no hegemony, in other words by some unexpected developments Iran and Syria will join America while the other team will have no choice but to live U.S. or to live under Iranian domination (unacceptable).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have established the pro-Western and anti-Western camps in the Middle East, let us fill in one more puzzle piece that is Israel. Israel represents Western way of life, so by default in a geopolitical sense Israel and pro-Western elements of the Middle East will join forces together (economic, diplomatic, military) to fight the common aggressor in that region which is Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By no means I am saying that Iran will join the West, since in 1979, Iran swore to fight the West. By no means am I saying that after the operation has taken place the Arabs will embrace Israel as the savior of the Arab-Sunni world. Opposite is possible but the possibilities are numerous and one should take into serious considerations the possible developments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the time is running out, I hope the Middle East has decisive leaders to make those decisions within a year. The Iranian problem got out of the control and no one expected for the situation to develop to quickly to become a crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel and the Arab-Sunni world have to contribute for their own sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710721090&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710721090&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710719346&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710719346&amp;amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-5214690761087285912?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/5214690761087285912/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-fault-line-of-middle-east_18.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/5214690761087285912'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/5214690761087285912'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-fault-line-of-middle-east_18.html' title='The New Fault Line of the Middle East!'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4745779259013741437</id><published>2009-04-12T19:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-12T19:18:40.949-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Deja Vu</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SeKg_ImP_BI/AAAAAAAAAKA/OiWkxM3WP1A/s1600-h/AssadAhmadinejad.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323994716005465106" style="DISPLAY: block;

You just will have to swallow it with pride. Jewish Refugee #4, on the contrary to what you wrote there will be no "new party". Those who share you vision 1) could not even form a united list 2) were not able to get more than a handful of Knesset seats. Furthermore an avalanche of votes went to Lieberman who openly advocates the 2-state solution. The vision of the rightist victory shrinks at every closer look at the election results. Since you've apparently found a safe refuge in the US, please stay there and let us deal with our state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Avi from Israel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Response,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never say never! New Party through revolution is possible. No one thought that Israel can be reestablished after 1900 years or so but on the contrary there is one right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes Lieberman supports 2-state solution but please use your superior analytical skills as to why he does it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lieberman rejected Annapolis but embraced Road Map if you read it require two things for it to become real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One is being the cessation of all hostilities towards Israel and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;two a viable government of Arabs who could represent those in Gaza and Judea and Samaria. Until those two terms are fulfilled no process can be reached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lieberman knows very well that those things are not in the near future. We have Fatah and Hamas who are bitter enemies. But the cessation of terrorism is the core which will not be rooted our as it is who they are. In other words based on Road Map the Two State Solution is not feasible until Arabs start cooperating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why Annapolis is gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for your welcoming invitation to Israel, I would like to say that I always have said that no Jew is safe when Israel is in trouble. In other words, the Jewish Diaspora is safe because Israel is safe. Therefore, it is my duty to protect it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, Israel is the forefront of the Western civilization that is fighting for the justice and liberty against the Western Civilization's sworn enemies (Radical Islam). Therefore, Israel should be supported and protected by those who believe in Liberty and Justice no matter Jewish or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I forgive you for your thoughtfulness Avi and wish you a happy Passover.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-8541701613734437699?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/8541701613734437699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/04/ynet-news-talk-back.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8541701613734437699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8541701613734437699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/04/ynet-news-talk-back.html' title='Ynet News Talk Back!'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-233270684247337886</id><published>2009-04-12T11:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-12T12:01:02.913-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Зелёная Демократия</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SeI6DfmSylI/AAAAAAAAAIY/hd2ffzJDj0o/s1600-h/%D0%97%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%91%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%8F.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323881541201480274" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SeI6DfmSylI/AAAAAAAAAIY/hd2ffzJDj0o/s320/%D0%97%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%91%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%8F.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Для Русско язычных читателей блога Израиль Действуй Сейчас (Israel Act Now).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Недавно вышал в свет документальный фильм "Зелёная Демократия" автором етого фильма евляется Роман Винокур.

South Korean and Japan, United State’s close friends and allies were left wondering if U.S. is really up to the task to defend them. To go a little bit further the whole world will have to rethink United State’s reaction or should I say no reaction. As I recall Iraq, North Korea, and Iran were”Axis of Evil,” at one point of time.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United Nations haven’t responded to this blatant breach of the Security Council Resolutions. So my question is what will U.S.A. do to Iran if Iran acquires Nuclear Bombs and puts it to the test, or in that matter what will the United Nations do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, I do not want to wait around to figure it out, because I think that the response is going to be the same.  NO ACTION!

Incitement (ARAB FACTION OF GOVERNMENT)</title><content type='html'>Opposition is one of the greatest features that were ever integrated into the World Politics both domestic and internationally. But when the Arab faction (note) of the ISRAEL’S GOVERNMENT calls for the sanctions AGAINST ISRAEL it become an incitement rather than the freedom of speech that is given to the opposition. Therefore, it shows the fundamental flaw in the ISRAELI POLITICAL SYSTEM in terms of the “rule of law” that each respected sovereign nation must have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule of Law has several factors:&lt;br /&gt;1. IDENTITY AS A CITIZEN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Voting as the primary action or behavior of the citizen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Regular political competition and contestation for power&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Lively Party System &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Orderly transition of power, finally;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. “LOYAL OPPOSITION” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the Arab faction broke numbers 1 and 6 of the rule of law that are the core of the rule of law of any sovereign country. Arab factions literally challenge the SOVEREIGNTY of ISRAEL by showing not the acceptable opposition but the threatening rebellion against the JEWISH STATE. It is not a state within a state yet, but it has strong potential to become one if Israel will not put an end to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember communist factions in the U.S. Congress during the Cold War? I hope not, because there were none; even though there communists in U.S. during that time. On the contrary, whoever was perceived note perceived as one would get kicked out of the congress. So why should Israel tolerate those traitors that “openly express” their wishes to harm the State of Israel. Note that openly express is in quotation marks that entails that it came to a point where they do not even care anymore if they perceived one way or another. Let alone about proving anything.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-2966557526656172774?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/2966557526656172774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/04/freedom-of-speech-vs-incitement-arab.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2966557526656172774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2966557526656172774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/04/freedom-of-speech-vs-incitement-arab.html' title='Freedom of Speech VS.

The creation of a &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Palestinian state" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_state"&gt;Palestinian state&lt;/a&gt; is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of &lt;a title="Israel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel"&gt;Israel&lt;/a&gt; for our &lt;a title="Arab" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab"&gt;Arab&lt;/a&gt; unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose &lt;a title="Zionism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism"&gt;Zionism&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to &lt;a title="Haifa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haifa"&gt;Haifa&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title="Jaffa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa"&gt;Jaffa&lt;/a&gt;, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Beer-Sheva" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer-Sheva"&gt;Beer-Sheva&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a title="Jerusalem" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem"&gt;Jerusalem&lt;/a&gt;.

Francis P. Sempa &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if that occurred then it would promote,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IMPORTANT: "Facilitating the illusion of.... imaginary common interests, where no real common interest exist."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I mention this,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, this document is the first out of eight National Security Doctrines.&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, it seems that Israel has done so many mistakes because it was not in Israel's National Interest. (Surrendering Sinai, Oslo I and II, ongoing surrender to Iran because of the "passionate attachments" to E.U., U.S., and U.N.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Washington was right that National Interests is the key otherwise the Nation would exist in the state of "illusion...imaginary common interests, where no real common interest exists."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel is living in an illusion (Peace with Egypt and Jordan? Moderate Fatah? U.S. is going to protect Israel from Iran?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time for Israel to realize that its National Interests are the priority and they are at stake.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-8934671255207944501?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/8934671255207944501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/03/illusion.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8934671255207944501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8934671255207944501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/03/illusion.html' title='ILLUSION!'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-2169113107396954768</id><published>2009-03-07T18:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T20:05:43.375-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Forgetten Jewish Refugees</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jews In Arab Countries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SbM_8RMH-bI/AAAAAAAAAH0/WPL5zJVOdcw/s1600-h/REF.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310658690238904754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SbM_8RMH-bI/AAAAAAAAAH0/WPL5zJVOdcw/s320/REF.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What? Where? When? Why? How?&lt;br /&gt;Whenever, I mention the Jewish Refugees, the responses are usually what is mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth of the matter is that there were Jewish Refugees from Arab lands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the Jewish People were dispersed by the Romans throughout its empire into Europe, North Africa, and Asia; Jews had faced many hardships. Among them was the dhimmi status (discrimination, humiliation, segregation) also known as the second class citizens in the Muslim countries. Also, the Spanish inquisition of the late 15th century, pogroms in Russia and France; and the unforgettable annihilation of the Jews during the World War II period. One might say that it was the last time that the Jews were persecuted on the large scale. But the truth is that right after Israel was “reestablished” in 1948 and when it had won the War of Independence these events triggered violent pogroms across the entire Arab/Muslim world. Thousands of Jews were killed, Jewish businesses were destroyed, women were violated, and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News Flash: There aren’t only Arab refugees (occupiers) as of the affect of the Arab-Israeli Conflict. You are probably wondering what war the number of Jewish Refugees and what faith had befallen them? There were over 850,000 Jews that were kicked out of the Arab countries since 1948. Israel has accepted every one of them, unlike the story with the 650,000 Arab occupiers that were not accepted by the Egyptian, Jordan, Syrian, or Lebanese Arabs. Also, the reasons behind the Arabs becoming refugees are completely different from the Jewish reasons. Even though most of the world blames Israel for this problem (Arab Refugees), the fact is that Arabs left under the orders of the Arab generals that were preparing to attack and destroy Israel in 1948. That way only Jews would had died during the slaughter and after Israel no more, then the Arabs could come back as a victorious people. But Israel’s victory has destroyed the dreams of those Arabs who left “willingly.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, we have three important factors; first being 850,000 Jewish Refugees versus 650,000 Arab Refugees; second being that the Jewish Refugees were accepted by Israel the only Jewish State and Arab Refugees were not accepted by any of the many Arab States; and thirdly the different reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there are different questions that arise just by knowing those facts.&lt;br /&gt;1. How come only Arabs (Palestinians) are mentioned as the only refugees of the conflict?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. How come only Arabs (Palestinians) is the only side that receives billions of dollars in aid every year from the United Nations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. How come the Arab countries did not accept those 650,000 Arabs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. HOW COME DURING THIS DURBAN CONFERENCE II ISRAEL WILL BE SINGLED OUT AS A RACIST STATE WHEN THE JEWISH POPULATION IN ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES IS ALMOST NONE?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. How come during the so called peace process the Jewish Refugees are not mentioned?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. How come there are no remedies from the Arab/Muslim countries to those 850,000 that were killed, robbed, and humiliated? (While, Israel is still inhumane even though Israel is sending tons of food and medicine to Gaza Strip, providing fuel and electricity)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;7. Where are Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch yelling and screaming Jews were the indigenous people at the Arab Lands?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;8. Where is the United Nations that has passed 100 resolutions concerning Arab Refugees and even making special organization United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA)? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What? Where? When? Why? How?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jewish Refugees; Arab/Muslim Land; 1948-2009; Jewish; Pogroms;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I leave the floor for you to ask more questions and answer the once that I have above? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-2169113107396954768?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/2169113107396954768/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/03/forgetten-jewish-refugees.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2169113107396954768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2169113107396954768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/03/forgetten-jewish-refugees.html' title='The Forgetten Jewish Refugees'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SbM_8RMH-bI/AAAAAAAAAH0/WPL5zJVOdcw/s72-c/REF.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4586646319785894241</id><published>2009-02-19T20:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-19T20:29:35.388-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Jerusalem: Western Wall Live</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;Dear Readers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just could not keep myself from sharing this link to this great website.&lt;br /&gt;I have been to Israel twice in my lifetime; I have been in almost all of Israel except Eilat.

It is truly unique place to be there physically, but for those who don't have the opportunity and wonder how it is there; here is a website to live streaming broadcast with audio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the best website in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next Year in Jerusalem!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://english.thekotel.org/cameras.asp&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4586646319785894241?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4586646319785894241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/jerusalem-wester-wall-live.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4586646319785894241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4586646319785894241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/jerusalem-wester-wall-live.html' title='Jerusalem: Western Wall Live'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-26183515160969275</id><published>2009-02-10T22:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-12T11:43:53.877-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Until the Next Elections?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Long Live Greater Israel!&lt;br /&gt;March 28, 2005&lt;br /&gt;Kadima 29 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Likud 12 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Yisrael Beitenu 11 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Labor 19 mandates&lt;br /&gt;United Torah J. 6 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Meeretz 5 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Shas 12 mandates&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 10, 2009&lt;br /&gt;Kadima 28 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Likud 27 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Yisrael Beitenu 15 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Labor 13 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Shas 11 mandates&lt;br /&gt;Meeretz 3 mandates&lt;br /&gt;United Torah J. 5 mandates&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change in Mandates&lt;br /&gt;Kadima -1&lt;br /&gt;Likud +15&lt;br /&gt;Yisrael Beitenu +4&lt;br /&gt;Meeretz -2&lt;br /&gt;Shas -1&lt;br /&gt;United Torah J. -1&lt;br /&gt;Labor -6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so forth&lt;br /&gt;The trend is strong and it is good there is a migration from the left camp to the right camp.

There are still good chunk of the voting population that still believe and romanticize about the so called Peace Process a.k.a. capitulation of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That also means that once again Israel is going to have a weak government; because during the formation of the coalition small parties will demand unthinkable and big parties will not have an option rather than to bow since every mandate counts. We will have another early elections guaranteed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind can Israel meet the challenges that are at all time high with Obama in the office, with Iran about to have nuclear bomb, negative world opinion, hateful U.N. and so forth?&lt;br /&gt;And for those who have voted for Kadima know that if anything happens to Israel or if the Jews around the world will suffer because of their actions on a major scale we will not forgive you. &lt;br /&gt;You have not learned your lessons but if Kadima with Livni will take over there would not be another chance for you to finally get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join me in prayers that right wing will lead Israel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-7435881289915116493?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/7435881289915116493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/outcome-of-elections.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7435881289915116493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/7435881289915116493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/outcome-of-elections.html' title='Outcome of the Elections'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4206755050735497331</id><published>2009-02-05T11:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T11:14:53.919-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Join the Cause!</title><content type='html'>Chabad Jewish Community Center                            &lt;br /&gt;435 West Main Street ¨ Aspen, Colorado, 81611 ¨ (970) 544-3770 ¨ www.jccaspen.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Readers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, the Chabad Jewish Community Center, UJA Aspen Valley and Challenge Aspen, hosted a group of disabled Israeli war veterans for a week of therapeutic, recreational and inspirational activities in our community. The program was one of the most heartwarming and meaningful we have ever undertaken, which is why when my friend, Rabbi Menachem Kutner, Director of Victims of Terror Support Group in Israel, called and asked if we’d be willing to host another group this year, I couldn’t say “yes!” fast enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nancy and Steve, I invite you to join me in performing this most incredible and rewarding mitzvah again this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From March 26 - April 3, we will be hosting a group of heroes from Israel, providing them lodging in our center, three meals a day and coordinating a full schedule of  programs and activities including a beautiful “Welcoming Reception &amp;amp; Shabbat Experience” with our spirited and hospitable community, and five days of skiing with the dedicated staff and volunteers of Challenge Aspen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Challenge Aspen makes skiing a possibility for all disabilities.  By providing patient direction and assistance, and utilizing adaptive ski equipment, they enable the physically impaired to go beyond their limitations and see all that still exists in their new and challenging lives.  Physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally, they enjoy a level of renewed confidence, serenity and exhilaration that few other experiences provide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all citizens of Israel. These are our brothers.  The sacrifices they made – the bullets they took, the shrapnel they absorbed, the loss of limb and mobility they suffered – they made on behalf of us all.  Giving them back an experience like this is one of the most gratifying actions we, as a community, can take.  I hope you will see the value of joining me in this effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cost to us – including airfare, food, accommodations, special care and entertainment – is approximately $4,000 per visitor.  Enclosed please find a form outlining various levels of support you can undertake – from $300 to sponsor a visitor for one half day to $4,000 to sponsor a visitor for the entire week.  Whichever level you choose, I assure you that the joy you derive from this gift will warm your heart and touch your soul in a very deep and lasting way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also hope that you will mark your calendar for the “Welcoming Reception and Shabbat Experience” with our special guests on Friday night, March 27th.  Last year, the uplifting singing, sharing and storytelling continued well into the night.  You won’t want to miss it.&lt;br /&gt;Looking forward to your partnership and participation in this beautiful endeavor, I remain,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rabbi Mendel Mintz&lt;br /&gt;Director - Chabad Jewish Community Center&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rob Leavitt&lt;br /&gt;UJA Aspen Valley Campaign Chair&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS – You can also sign on with your sponsorship on line at www.jccaspen.com.

The reasons for the name Elections for Survival are many but I would like to concentrate on the most important ones'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List:&lt;br /&gt;1.       Soon to be nuclear armed Iran. (Hezbollah, Hamas, and Syria)&lt;br /&gt;2.       Administration change in U.S. that will force Israel to make “painful concessions.”&lt;br /&gt;3.       Overwhelming growth of Anti-Semitism around the world.&lt;br /&gt;4.       World Economic Crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really tired of bashing current Israeli government so I will constrain myself by just saying that Kadima and Labor are not strong enough, not smart enough, not experienced enough,  and above all not patriotic enough to lead Israel when everyone around the world is against Israel.&lt;br /&gt;Let us not forget that the only reason that Tzipi Livni (Kadima) could not form a coalition because she wanted to give away half of Jerusalem. Don’t forget that Labor withdrew from south Lebanon and then we had Second Lebanese War. Don’t forget that Kadima withdrew from Gaza and now we have terrorist enclave within reach of major Israel cities.  In other words, we cannot vote for the same parties and wait for different outcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need leaders that don’t collapse in front of important decisions or at the pressure of world. We need leaders that fight for the national interests not for their bank accounts in Europe. We need leaders that understand simple truth that there is no such a thing is peace process, there is not such a thing as two-state solution, we need leaders that are not afraid to say we are fighting against Arabs (Palestinians) not just Hamas. Palestinian Arabs chose Hamas, thus when Israel fights Hamas they fight Palestinians Arabs.  We need leaders that can say that Hamas is just the same as Fatah no such a thing as moderates.  We need leaders that fight until the victory is reached, unlike those that are afraid of victory and tell the whole world that Israel is tired of winning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question will now arise who among our contestants have those qualities? This I will leave up to you to decide if you have a name please share it with us in the comments section.&lt;br /&gt;Also there is another question, which party among our contestants does not have those qualities?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kadima, Labor, Meeretz, and Shas&lt;br /&gt;Please challenge what I have just said and support your side.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-8080070925891958482?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/8080070925891958482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/elections-for-survival.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8080070925891958482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8080070925891958482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/02/elections-for-survival.html' title='Elections for Survival!'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-8390348434954895752</id><published>2009-01-28T22:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-30T13:46:58.954-08:00</updated><title type='text'>United Nations; United Against Israel</title><content type='html'>"The United Nations leads the international campaigns against drug trafficking and terrorism."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"L’ONU mène aussi les campagnes internationales de lutte contre le trafic des drogues et le terrorisme."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Las Naciones Unidas encabezan las campañas internacionales contra el tráfico de drogas y el terrorismo."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Организация Объединенных Наций является инициатором международных кампаний по борьбе с оборотом наркотиков и терроризмом."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/Overview/uninbrief/"&gt;http://www.un.org/Overview/uninbrief/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Why does the United Nations protect terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah?&lt;br /&gt;2. How come United Nations does not protect Al-Qaeda?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I go on, I would like to mention that not all of the U.N. members are hostile towards Israel, but the number of countries that actually are; happen to be the majority of the United Nations. As it was well said by Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. “The tyranny of the majority.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations as an impartial judge that is trying to solve the world problems has never existed. It is just another institution that is trying to stay in business and like any business it has an agenda. What is the United Nations agenda towards Israel? Well the best way to find out is to look at the record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right after Israel has proclaimed its independence which was backed by the United Nations itself, the Arab countries invaded Israel in an attempt to finish what Hitler has started. United Nations has done absolutely nothing to stop, condemn, or at least declare sanctions on the Arab aggressors as punitive measures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas, Fatah, Hezbollah, United Nations among others describe Gaza (Aza) Strip and Judea Samaria (distorted name West Bank) as occupied lands by Israel and call upon Israel to relinquish them for peaceful solution. But the question is why U.N., PLO, and others did not call Egypt that occupied Aza (Gaza) and Jordan that occupied Judea and Samaria occupiers from 1949-1967? How come Egypt and Jordan were not called upon to relinquish those lands? What has changed U.N. and Fatah, Hamas, and others? The Six Hour War a.k.a. Six Day War when Israel in a defensible war has liberated those lands from occupiers. All of the sudden Israel has occupied Aza, Judea, and Samaria. All of the sudden PLO has changed its charter where they included East Jerusalem as their capital in any final peace solution. What a dramatic change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations as a peacekeeper; Here is an analogy for you it is like a body guard that helps the enemies of the client that the body guard is trying to supposedly safeguard and when the enemy is ready to launch an attack the body guard leaves the client and runs away so the client (Israel) is left on its own. Before the outbreak of the Six Day War, U.N. helped Jordanian forces to occupy strategic positions in Jerusalem and then U.N. peacekeeper forces left Israeli Egyptian border when Egyptian president ordered the Head of the Mission U Thant to pack up and leave. So when the peacekeepers were actually needed they left the scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the most recent one after the Second Lebanese War ended UNIFIL has become the mercenaries of Hezbollah. In other words U.N. has protected Hezbollah terrorists while they were busy rearming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most important aspect of the United Nations that it has become Arab-African-Asian bloc where there is abundance of hate towards Israel. This turning point took place in U.N. on 1965. One might ask what esle can you expect from the majority?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other developments:&lt;br /&gt;What I don’t understand is why United Nations wouldn’t give Osama bin Laden a stage at the U.N. General Assembly as it did to Yasser Arafat on 1974?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why wouldn’t United Nations pass a resolution legalizing terrorist attacks as a form resistance? As it did for the Arabs in Aza, Judea, and Samaria, “inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.”???????????????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion is that United Nations is just another anti-Semitic organization that is driven not Israel’s best interest, thus should Israel listen to the United Nations? When to fight? When to make ceasefire? When to ignore rockets? When to commit a national suicide?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of you would rightfully argue that Israel could not withhold international pressure in forms of outlaw state or sanctions against Israel. But the real question is could Israel withhold nuclear armed Iran? Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other enemies? All these are going to become constants of the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations is just another constant that has always been there. It seems to me that United Nations has become the League of Nations and Israel is going to become Czechoslovakia within the context of WWII but that another story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The United Nations leads the international campaigns against drug trafficking and terrorism."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"L’ONU mène aussi les campagnes internationales de lutte contre le trafic des drogues et le terrorisme."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Las Naciones Unidas encabezan las campañas internacionales contra el tráfico de drogas y el terrorismo."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Организация Объединенных Наций является инициатором международных кампаний по борьбе с оборотом наркотиков и терроризмом."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/Overview/uninbrief/"&gt;http://www.un.org/Overview/uninbrief/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-8390348434954895752?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/8390348434954895752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/united-nations-united-against-israel.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8390348434954895752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/8390348434954895752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/united-nations-united-against-israel.html' title='United Nations; United Against Israel'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-2256677643655288510</id><published>2009-01-22T16:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-22T16:23:46.709-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Learn do not Panic.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/video/Netanyahu.htm"&gt;http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/video/Netanyahu.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please let us know what you think about this interview.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-2256677643655288510?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/2256677643655288510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/learn-do-not-panic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2256677643655288510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2256677643655288510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/learn-do-not-panic.html' title='Learn do not Panic.'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-4373601965902493148</id><published>2009-01-19T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-18T22:10:07.422-08:00</updated><title type='text'>From Compliance to Defiance! From Defiance to Compliance?</title><content type='html'>In the wake of what we are witnessing happening in Israel, I would like to address all the Jewish readers. Before I move on or before we all move on, I would like to reveal something about myself and I would like you to do it as well. I am a Jew who lives in a Diaspora; I am a Jew who lives in a Diaspora and I understand that anti-Semitism did not stop after the Holocaust; it just took a little break only to reignite again with an even stronger power; I am a Jew that lives in a Diaspora and I know that no place on earth will ever be safe for us; it is just the matter of time before the safe heavens for Jews will show its true colors as it did before again and again and again and again. Assimilation won’t help; intermarriage won’t help; nothing will help once a Jew always a Jew and unlike any other nation and/or religion on this earth there are consequences for being a Jew and I fully understand that. But I know one thing that there is one place on this earth where at least we can fight against those who want to exterminate us; against the inevitable anti-Semitic trend. As a Jew that lives in Diaspora, I can clearly see just as I can see the moon in the sky that without Israel as the only Jewish State no Jewish Soul in the world is safe only to become the sitting ducks for the next assault to come. I think, once again that is just my personal belief that in order to move on we as Jews have to understand these basic concepts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have covered the basic Jewish reality, we shall move on. The modern State of Israel reemerged due the acknowledgment of this reality. It was built by the hands of those who defied the impossible and I do not believe it was built for those who comply with impossible. To our dismay the current situation in Israel shows how compliant the current Israeli government is. The very compliance that brought all the pogroms and holocaust, the very compliance that made the Jews homeless (Diaspora), the very compliance that makes our enemies bolder and more eager to destroy us. I do not believe that the modern State of Israel would have existed if the current Israeli government was in place of the one in 1947, in 1956, in 1967, and in 1973. Against all the odds they built and they fought for us and for generations to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we have to be compliant to those who killed us and/or did nothing to stop it a.k.a. international community?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we have to trust our security to those who killed us and/or did nothing to stop it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we have to give out our land to those who killed us and/or did nothing to stop it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have we become so morally corrupt that we cannot even see the obvious truth that we are Jews and that Jews do not survive because we are compliant we survive because we are defiant?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly hope that NEVER AGAIN will not become YET AGAIN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, every Jew in Israel and every Jew in the Diaspora have to do anything they can to protect the State of Israel, our last chance.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-4373601965902493148?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4373601965902493148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/from-compliance-to-defiance-from.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4373601965902493148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/4373601965902493148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/from-compliance-to-defiance-from.html' title='From Compliance to Defiance!

It is no secret that the present government of Israel that had more than 2 years to respond to Hamas’ hostilities towards Israel from Gaza picked one month before the elections in order to survive the blow that awaited them on February 10, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;Our brave soldiers have done their job, on the contrary the current government of Israel (Kadima and Labor) have proved the real reason as to why the war started by not capturing Gaza City and Philadelphi Corridor, thus living Hamas leadership in control of the main Gaza sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The outcome of this war was world condemnation on Israel’s actions which I completely pay no stock upon but above all the missed opportunity due to the ceasefire talks that has clouded the U.N., Israel, Egypt, U.S., and other parties. I don’t believe that our soldiers have sacrificed their lives for this, another lull until the next war. I don’t believe that Israeli residents, Jews in the Diaspora and Israel’s friends around the world supported this war for another one to come from the same old Gaza Strip. But what I do believe in is that the current government of Israel has spoiled the chance for the new government to come and fight this very war. When I say spoiled, I mean that this war could have had a different ending unlike what is being put forward and accepted by the coward government of Kadima and Labor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israeli’s and Jews around the world please do not forget the fundamental reason as to why Israel was reestablished in the first place, this fundamental reason is the hatred towards Jews around the world. Anti-Semitism will spread eventually to all parts of the world and our last chance is Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, if this operation Cast Lead will end in another ceasefire with Hamas in power, without the return of Gilad Shalit, and complete halt to smuggling of weapons. This war is to be deemed unjustified.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-2798813420199284922?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/2798813420199284922/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/spoiled-opportunity.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2798813420199284922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/2798813420199284922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/spoiled-opportunity.html' title='Spoiled Opportunity'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-6678018022233004291</id><published>2009-01-15T12:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T12:26:03.129-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Until the Next War?</title><content type='html'>The fate of Israel is to win on the military front, but to this very day to be only defeated on the diplomatic front. As history shows in 1973 (Yom Kippur War) during the first successful couple of days for the Arab armies United Nations did not intervene on the Jewish side but opposite reactions was witnessed when the tide was turned around and the  Jewish army was almost closing onto Cairo and Damascus. The whole world community was upset by the Israel’s actions and was calling for immediate ceasefire. In other words, when Israel is losing it is absolutely natural, but when Israel is winning it is absolutely unacceptable. Israel was never able to complete any of its wars, thus for war to be complete the change of the hostile government should be enacted. But Israel suffered high casualties during the War of Independence, the Six Day War, and the Yom Kippur wars only to see their enemies rebuilt for another round of fighting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have covered the nature of the wars that Israel has been involved in, we have to ask ourselves a question. What is the point of fighting half wars, if we to only witness another war at our doorsteps very soon?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The operation Cast Lead is no different in regards of what is being described above. Israel was once again successful on the military front, but somehow HAMAS the defeated (almost) having a say in the negotiations. How is that possible? Because they know that Israel will not eliminate its government as it has done before it spared the hostile governments. This is the real deterrence for our enemies to know that they will be eliminated completely, not partially so they could rebuild again. Why is Israel giving away its military leverage for nothing but another short lull?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Israel will not finish off Hamas completely, thus annex Gaza to its rightful owner Israel, we can record another unfinished war on Israel’s record.&lt;br /&gt;So I guess, “Until the next war?”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-6678018022233004291?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/6678018022233004291/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/until-next-war.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/6678018022233004291'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/6678018022233004291'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/until-next-war.html' title='Until the Next War?'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-6139325111474326566</id><published>2009-01-11T22:25:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-11T22:26:58.272-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Jewish Curtain</title><content type='html'>The Jewish State of Israel has become an important diversion tool in the Muslim world.

On the other hand, wars that have taken and are taking place right now in Former Unified Islamic World will dwarf the total number of casualties that has been incurred since the beginning of the Arab Israeli conflict. In other words, Arab Israeli conflict is a dwarf among the giants of internal Muslim struggle. I want to clarify that it will be only about Islamic World excluding Israel, within the context how Israel has served as a great mirage.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Here are few examples of what I mean by giants;&lt;br /&gt;In 1915-1923 Turkish Muslim genocide that took life’s of 1,500,000 Christian Armenians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The partition of the Indian Subcontinent in 1947, outcome 800,000-1,000,000 Muslims and Hindus killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1955-1972 Civil War in Sudan 500,000-600,000 mostly Christian killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1961 to date: Muslim Indonesian genocide against West Papuans has resulted in &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100,000-400,000 killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1962-1992: Civil War in Ethiopia, 1,400,000 Muslim and Christians killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1970: Jodanian Civil War 25,000 Muslims killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1971: 1,250,000 Muslims killed during the Bangladesh secession from Pakistan and Bangladesh War of Independences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resource of this information is the Middle East Rules of Thumb by Steven Carol.&lt;br /&gt;These are just few examples that I wanted to share with you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point that I am trying to bring up is that even though Arab Israeli conflict is so tiny compare to the ones that I have mentioned, yet Arab Israeli conflict gets the most media attention and the most blame for every socio-political crisis in the Islamic World. It is always convenient to blame external parties for the internal failures, thus saving their faces in front of mad mob. Therefore, Israel has become a convenient curtain that serves as the cover-up for all the failures in the Former Unified Islamic World. In other words there are more serious problems within the Muslim Countries than Israel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-6139325111474326566?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/6139325111474326566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/jewish-curtain.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/6139325111474326566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/6139325111474326566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2009/01/jewish-curtain.html' title='The Jewish Curtain'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-5688523578602394833</id><published>2009-01-05T18:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T21:36:52.111-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CYBER WAR</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Dear Readers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With more than 30,000 Israeli websites hacked by the Muslim Cyber Terrorist our group calls upon everyone to save or back up the contents of your websites and stand by for any such of an attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along the same line we would like you to join our cyber warfare (Public Relations "PR" Warfare),&lt;br /&gt;Below are the instructions provided by one of our contributors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The campaign of words and outrageous propaganda against Israel and Jews everywhere must be fought with an overwhelming response.&lt;br /&gt;A simple campaign can of words can and will quickly make world news headlines if a constant message appears everywhere it will be noticed.&lt;br /&gt;Right now we have a window of opportunity to fight back and re-open the battle against Arab occupation of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Islam” fights with words (lies) to change minds and have been more and more successful.

Official Jordan has already stated that they are going to reevaluate their relations with Israel after these so called “aggressive” actions. While Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that “Israel perpetrating inhuman actions which would bring it to self-destruction. Allah will sooner or later punish those who transgress the rights of innocents." Turks that killed more than one million Armenians and whose methods were used by Hitler are now turning against Israel. So who is next? Perhaps Egypt, Mubarak is old and his son has no popularity among Egyptians as much as Muslim Brotherhood possesses. The true colors of our so called peace partners and allies are coming out. The only hope is United States and India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But above all the support of G’d. After all it does not have to be Israel for Jewish people to reestablish their homeland if it is not for the religious connection between the Jews and the Land of Israel.

Except the internal developments that will come as soon as February 10, 2009: the elections in Israel. Kadima and Labor parties according to the last conducted polls that I do not believe in anyway has shown that these parties will suffer a major blow while opposition party Likud will win a crushing victory over the lefties. So here we are trying to understand did the current Israeli political establishment (Kadima and Labor) go into war to defeat Hamas or to win the elections?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SVgCuK3bM3I/AAAAAAAAAFE/hiCFUNVEq2k/s1600-h/ehud%2520olmert.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284977154933338994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 323px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 201px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SVgCuK3bM3I/AAAAAAAAAFE/hiCFUNVEq2k/s320/ehud%2520olmert.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is kind of intriguing that this government had more than two years but it decided act right before the elections or to be precise 43 days before the elections (today is December 27, 2008).

Have we forgotten the negotiations regarding the division of Jerusalem and the withdrawal from the Golan Heights? Have we forgotten soon to be nuclear armed Iran?

After all there are two fronts in a war there is military front and public relations (PR) front. Both are important but they should be mutually exclusive not inclusive. Military establishment should be free from the media pressure to do their job freely. Or we are going to have another Lebanese war where IDF was on the leash and they could not do their job properly after all how can you do it properly when media is everywhere exaggerating every military action? When the world outcry is so strong, because those who are watching in Europe, U.S., Canada, and other countries that are living in warmth, security, and where they have never seen qassam rockets as their everyday life. They denounce Israel’s rights because they are not in Israel’s shoes. No media should be allowed into the war zones, war is war and it should not be a pleasant place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the heads of state and different entities who denounce Israel’s rights, I have no other explanation for them other then they are on terrorist countries payroll or anti-Semitic. United Nations and European Union is under the oil countries payroll, therefore we should not take into the consideration their outcry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jews and non-Jews understand that there are no half-truths, no peace is possible with our enemies, and above all it is our sole right to protect ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;We should seek victory and victory alone.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-3977627304846789635?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/3977627304846789635/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2008/12/media-and-heads-of-state.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/3977627304846789635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/3977627304846789635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2008/12/media-and-heads-of-state.html' title='MEDIA and Heads of State.'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-1458092899147041193</id><published>2008-12-26T15:38:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-26T15:38:46.304-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Created or Reestablished?</title><content type='html'>What is the difference between the words create and reestablish? According to Dictionary.com, to create is to cause to exist; bring into being. As for the word reestablish is to bring back into original existence, use, function, or position. With that in mind, was the modern State of Israel created or reestablished?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have mentioned in my previous posts (West Bank or Judea and Samaria) that the war of words is on, within the context of distortions regarding this conflict. It seems that media, politicians, historians, and so forth are trying to distort the meaning of two words when it comes to Israel. The basic idea is that Jews came in huge waves from Europe before and after holocaust to grab and steal the land from so called Palestinians. Then Jews proclaimed their independence with help of Great Britain and the U.N. In other words Western countries in conspiracy with Jews divided British Mandate. So the question arises who gave right to the U.N. divide the land that belonged to indigenous people of that region?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But those who ask this question forget or willing fully distort that the Jews are the indigenous people of that region that Jews were exiled by the series aggressors. That the Jews outnumbered Arabs 2:3 in Jerusalem even before emigration from Europe ever started, that there are remains of two Jewish Temples on which they have built a masque. That there are tombs of our forefathers in Hebron, and the list goes on. They have forgot that one of Muslim prophets by the name Musa (Jewish: Moshe, English: Moses) have received Torah from G’d, in which it says that this land is promised to the Jews. Muslims supposedly accept everyone from Abraham to Jesus, everything from Torah to the Christian Bible. But yet they do not accept the written words in them. We are supposedly the people of the book, but it does not deter them from wishing our destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the question arises who gave right to the U.N. divide the land that belonged to indigenous people of that region? Who gave the right to Russia to divide Central Asia into Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and so forth? Who gave the right to divide Eastern Europe? Who gave the right to divide India?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us zoom into the Middle East for matter of division, reestablishment, and creation. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Israel was not the only county that emerged, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, and Lebanon were created note the key word created. Kurdish population still has no sovereignty their lands were divided among newly formed Iraq and Syrian also Turkey and Iran. While Israel on the other hand was reestablished, going back to the definition of this word we can logically connect Ancient Israel to the Modern State of Israel by using the word reestablish. Due to this reason that the sovereign Jewish State existed before with all the necessary requirements of a sovereign state such as a government, army, court of law, and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we have covered that the modern State of Israel was reestablished not created, we can therefore conclude that Jews are the indigenous and have every right to that land from religious as much as secular perspective.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7776572304636759347-1458092899147041193?l=israelactnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/feeds/1458092899147041193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2008/12/created-or-reestablished.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/1458092899147041193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7776572304636759347/posts/default/1458092899147041193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/2008/12/created-or-reestablished.html' title='Created or Reestablished?'/><author><name>JewishRefugee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02457895443546924048</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpS3j_eX98M/SSEdwD0TKNI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5nvYRVq4Ey0/S220/untitled12.bmp'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776572304636759347.post-8363856314677350851</id><published>2008-12-15T23:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T21:35:36.750-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Self Destruction! “Democracy“</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Our enemies have tried to destroy us so many times, its main tool that they used during the times Crusades to destroy them and the conquests prior to that was the use of force (military force). But they have understood that they are so far behind technologically that they cannot challenge us militarily anymore. With that in mind, the military aspect as a tool is gone (or not real), but the notion of destroying us have always been there and will remain. So our enemies have readjusted their tactics to represent present day reality on the ground. Our enemies have understood that in order to destroy our (Western) way of life is to use our own precious way of life or democracy. In other words, the tactic has changed which is now democracy but the strategy has remained the same to destroy the Western World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might rightfully ask how in the world they could use democracy to destroy democracy. Here are couples of examples Hamas terrorists have won the democratic elections in Gaza. So is Gaza a democratic territory? This one is within proximity to Israel but how about the growing community in Europe of our enemies, where they could in about 50 years has significant voting power to make major political shifts in those countries. In Russia the Slavic majority is going to become a minority soon. So what do we have? We have Europeans, Russian, among others that are reproducing and fast rate or competitive rate and the new inhabitants reproducing at a great paste. The question may arise what is wrong with that? Why
