Israel’s War on Terror

Israel’s War on Terror.

By: Eli Etsion 2024-02-04.
I live in Israel, in a serene valley, an agricultural region. I have no idea of what goes on in the USA, aside from what I see on the news. I don’t see myself as qualified to march and demonstrate – demanding certain actions be taken by the United States…

In the meantime, in the USA, thousands of people who know nothing about what is really happening in Israel or Gaza, who are spoon-fed loads of fake news by useless social media which they foolishly consider as reliable sources, have the nerve to chant “from the river to the sea..” and “free Palestine,” under the pretense of being “pro-Palestinian, “ demanding of Israel to do things differently…

Some of these people are just hypocrites. Most are mainly misinformed and driven by propaganda they swallow eagerly.

Here are some short facts and numbers that should help you get your knowledge aligned:

1.         Israel is a sovereign country that was invaded by several thousand militants on October 7th, 2023. They were led by activists of the “Hamas,” which is recognized worldwide as A TERROR ORGANIZATION.

2.         In the aforementioned attack, over 1200 Israeli civilians were brutally butchered, some raped first. These were innocent civilians, men, women, children, elders, and babies. Another 240 or so were kidnapped into Gaza, taken out of their beds in PJs, on the morning of a holy day.
Do you want a sense of what it means in American terms? Multiply these numbers by at least 35, and imagine it happened on Christmas morning when you’re getting ready to open your presents.

3.         Hamas claims they have no food, water, medicine, etc., for their population – but they still seem to have plenty of missiles and rockets, and they never run out of weapons or materials for their tunnels.
Those tunnels are stocked with all the food, water, and fuel necessary for the leaders of Hamas hiding in them to survive.
The civilians of Gaza are pawns used by Hamas, yet still, 80% of them support Hamas. Hardly a case of innocent and uninvolved.

4.         In 5 months of bombardments, aerial strikes, armed forces with tanks and guns being used in urban surroundings – the average death toll in Gaza every day is roughly one-sixth or less than the death toll inflicted in a few hours on Israel on October 7th.
Most casualties in Gaza are not innocent civilians; they are Hamas militants – many wearing civilian clothes while firing RPGs and shooting at the IDF.

5.         The UN agency for refugees in Gaza, UNRWA, employs mostly local people. Many of them are also members of Hamas. UN vehicles were used by these “humanitarians” to transport kidnapped bodies from Israel into Gaza. The UN was used as a cover for terror activity. Shocking? Not to anyone who lives in Israel.

6.         While you pity the population of Gaza and demand that they receive aid – have you also demanded the immediate release of the remaining 130+ Israeli citizens held hostage – against all international laws – for FIVE MONTHS?
Have you voiced any concern regarding the civilians on the Israeli side of the border, who have been living under constant fire from Gaza for over 15 years?
Does it even slightly matter to you that tens of thousands of Israelis have been displaced since October 7th?

There is more, so much more.. but I would like to leave you with one more thought: It is claimed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The narrative of the Palestinians for many years has been one in which they are a poor victim of constant genocide and massacres – but in reality, the population in Gaza and the West Bank has been constantly growing in numbers.

Most of the killings in our little area are a result of assaults against Israeli civilians carried out by suicide bombers, knives, running over civilians with a car, and any other means that they see fit. Their chant – which so many Americans are repeating – “from the river to the sea…” basically says that from the river Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, they will kill all Jews and take over “Palestine.” THAT IS A CALL FOR GENOCIDE.

I call on all of you to be responsible when choosing your sources. Make educated decisions based on actual data and facts – not on PR and propaganda.

Be honest and true; be balanced. Know that if you want to support Hamas, you are supporting a radical terror organization. If you choose to support Gaza in this conflict, if you demand that they receive humanitarian aid – don’t forget to fight for the release of the hostages held there too.

If you choose to be humanitarian only when it concerns the people of Gaza, you’re not a humanitarian; you’re a fraud.

If you chant “from the river…” and blame Israel for committing genocide – you’re a hypocrite.

It’s okay to take sides; just be honest about it, and don’t hide the motive behind your actions.

Obama is a Jew-hater; Trump is our friend.

The gloves are off.
The United Nations, knowing full well it could pass anti-Israel resolutions designed to prolong the Arab-Israeli conflict only while President Obama still held office, moved forward with such a plan on Friday, December 23.

President Obama made it possible.
President-elect Trump had tried to take steps to forestall this blood libel.
He had coordinated a day earlier with President al-Sisi of Egypt to orchestrate a delay, and went public with his own view that the U.S. should maintain its standard practice of vetoing all such resolutions.

But it is the office of the president that possesses actual power; the office of president-elect has only the bully pulpit. And President Obama chose to wield that power in a way that will make another Arab-Israeli war more likely, create a diplomatic crisis for the United States, and operate to the detriment of traditional Arab allies like Egypt. Following on the heels of UNESCO’s decision, earlier this year, that the Jews lacked any historical connection to Israel — notwithstanding three thousand plus years of physical, archaeological, documentary, written, and oral evidence — the UN Security Council has now decided that Jewish settlement in the historic Jewish homeland is illegal.

Those who voice consistent, principled support for Israel are livid — but not remotely surprised. It has been clear for years that President Obama, Secretaries Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, and Ambassador Samantha Power were true, deep sonei Yisrael, an ancient religious term far older than “anti-Semite” that translates literally as “haters of Israel.” There has never been much hope that the lame duck Obama would leave office before inflicting further harm on the Jews and on the Jewish State — though the harm he has inflicted over the past eight years has already been considerable.
Nor are Trump supporters surprised by the president-elect’s extraordinary intervention.
We backed him — at no small risk to personal and professional relationships — because we saw a man far more interested in ensuring that the good guys win than in playing with a deck stacked to favor evil.

We hope that principled Israel supporters who opposed Trump’s candidacy can already see the folly of their ways — and set aside prejudice and ego to judge our incoming president by his actions, not the media’s slander.

There is a limit, of course, at the rage one can direct at Jew haters for acting like Jew haters. It’s expected. Israel’s false friends — Jews and non-Jews alike — have enabled and condoned their hateful behavior.
For years, Israel supporters have had to endure the obvious lies of American Jewish leaders that Obama was not only an excellent president, but a good friend to Israel. Even now they continue to insist that when it comes to Israel, there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Leading allegedly “pro-Israel” organizations made the case that even though the Obama-Iran deal was a clear existential threat to Israel, those who supported it showed just as much love for the Jewish State as those who opposed it.
That the empty platitudes of Sen. Chuck Schumer represent real advocacy or exertion then and now.
That Israel or Prime Minister Netanyahu bear the blame for angering Obama and making the Democratic Party and the left home to open anti-Semitism — by the crime of allowing Jews merely to live.

It would be preferable to think them fools rather than knaves, but it becomes harder to do so with each passing year. Genuinely pro-Israel voters and donors are misled by dismal political and organizational leadership either incapable of or unwilling to appreciate the difference between Israel’s true friends and genuine Jew haters.

They are reprehensible, and those who continue to fund them or follow them in any way share culpability in their crimes against Israel and against the Jews.

To say that the vast majority of American Jews who not only voted against Donald Trump, but who spent months slandering him in the vilest of terms, owe him an apology is a vast understatement. What they need is a full program of self-reflection, a twelve-step program, and a full day of atonement.

Their behavior has been despicable and reprehensible, and we are tired of it.

We believe strongly in Jewish unity, but some things are more important than unity. Jewish survival is among them. Or rather there can be no real unity until there is clarity and a commitment to Jewish morality and survival at its core. It is far past time for America’s Jews to learn how to tell their friends from their enemies, and the friends of Israel from its enemies.

The gloves are off.
Barack Obama and Donald Trump have each removed any reasonable doubt that might have lingered.
Obama is a Jew-hater; Trump is our friend.
There is no longer room for reasonable people to disagree.

The silver lining to the UN’s act of infamy

traitor-promoter-of-islamAll credits to Arutz Sheva By: Jack Engelhard, 25/12/16 00:1

All bets are off now that the Security Council voted 14-0 to condemn Jewish settlement activity over Biblical Judea, Samaria, and even Jerusalem.
Israel now has the green light to build, baby, build and Trump will have all the incentive he needs to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem.
All because that Security Council measure is so preposterous.

Coming as it does from the United Nations, which is in the hands of terrorists, mobsters and tyrants whose only business is to condemn Israel.
Blast and damn the gluttonous Liberals, here, there and everywhere who delivered Israel into the claws and arms of those jackals. Their names will be associated together with Haman.

As of that day, another date that will live in infamy, Friday, December 23, 2016, Israel owes nobody nothin’.  Annex Judea and Samaria. Forget the Oslo Accord. Forget 800 trucks a day plying food and supplies into Gaza. Forget the illusion of Abbas as a partner in peace. Declare him and his PA (Palestinian Authority) persona non grata.

From Donald Trump and US Congress, cease $600 million a year in direct funding for the PA and millions more through UNRWA and other false-front agencies.
Dismantle the PLO’s office in Washington, D.C.
Forget the mirage of a two state solution. For Kerry, Obama, and Samantha Power, the action was taken to “further peace.” Nothing can be further from the truth. This was an act of infamy against the Jewish State.

They say it was meant to advance a two state solution whereby two peoples live side by side in peace and security. Where do Arabs live in peace and security even among themselves – Syria, Iraq, Yemen?
The two state solution is a trap – a device to swarm Israel out of existence. That’s been the plan all along…to uproot the Jewish people from their ancestral homeland, by hook or by crook.

That the United States, under Obama, took part in this abomination, by letting it go through by the trick of abstaining, is an everlasting blight on our reputation.

Senators Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz say so. Here’s Cruz: “And for those who acquiesced or facilitated the UN resolution–especially President Obama, Secretary Kerry, and Ambassador Power–history will record your abiding and shameful legacy undermining our friend and ally Israel.”

How have the mighty fallen? This is President John F. Kennedy in 1961 at his inaugural address: “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Instead, friends of liberty were blindsided by Obama’s farewell address of sorts, his parting shot to sock it to the Jews.

So now the table has been set for Donald Trump to do what’s right. As the news came in, in anger we wrote (on Facebook): “Donald Trump will have to DRAIN THAT SWAMP. “Immediately end all financing for the UN, consider all resolutions against Israel flagrant, nonsensical, bigoted and non-binding…dissolve diplomatic status and immunity across the board…give all members 48 hours to pack up and leave town…and then destroy the building to a heap of rubble.”

Now that we’ve had a chance to calm down, we say it again, exactly as is, but add – Build, Baby, Build.

US helped craft anti-Israel Security Council resolution

back-stabbing-by-obama

By Gary Willig, 25/12/16 20:19

PM spokesman says Israel has “ironclad information” Obama Administration helped craft anti-Israel UN resolution.

The Israeli government has publicly accused the Obama Administration of having helped develop and push for the UN Security Council resolution condemning any and all Jewish presence over the 1949 armistice lines.

David Keyes, the spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, made the accusation on Fox News’ “America’s News HQ” program, claiming that Israel had “ironclad information” that the Obama Administration not only allowed the resolution to pass by going against the longtime US policy of vetoing one-sided resolutions against Israel, but took part in crafting the resolution and pushed for its passage.

“We have rather ironclad information from sources in both the Arab world and internationally that this was a deliberate push by the United States and in fact they helped create the resolution in the first place.” Keyes said.

The Prime Minister warned government ministers earlier that President Obama could cause further harm to Israel before he leaves office on January 20.

Army Radio broadcaster Erel Segal today reminded listeners that Obama began his presidency with a visit to Cairo, avoiding a stop in nearby Israel. While in Cairo, he spoke of Israel’s existence being a result of WWII’s genocide of the Jews, exactly as the Arab world does, thereby making the Jewish state an alien entity with no roots in the Holy Land.

 

 

 

Disgraceful Anti-Israel UN Security Council Vote

disband-the-unTrump Was Right to Try and Stop Obama From Tying His Hands on Israel

by Alan Dershowitz

The Egyptian decision to withdraw the one-sided anti-Israel United Nations Security Council resolution should not mask the sad reality that it is the Obama administration that has been pushing for the resolution to be enacted. The United States was trying to hide its active behind-the-scenes role in the matter by preparing to abstain rather than voting for the resolution. But in the context of a Security Council where only an American veto can prevent anti-Israel resolutions from automatically passing, an abstention is a vote for the resolution. And because of this automatic majority, an anti-Israel resolution like this one cannot be reversed by a future American president. A veto cannot be cast retroactively.

The effect, therefore of the Obama decision to push for, and abstain from, a vote on this resolution is to deliberately tie the hands of the president’s successors, in particular President-elect Trump. That is why Trump did the right thing in reaction to Obama’s provocation. Had the lame-duck president not tried to tie the incoming president’s hands, Trump would not have intervened at this time. But if Trump had not urged the Egyptians to withdraw the resolution, he would have made it far more difficult for himself to try to bring about a negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The reason for this is that a Security Council resolution declaring the 1967 border to be sacrosanct, and any building behind those boarders to be illegal, would make it impossible for Palestinian leaders to accept less in a negotiation. Moreover, the passage of such a resolution would disincentivize the Palestinians from accepting Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu’s invitation to sit down and negotiate with no preconditions. Any such negotiations would require painful sacrifices on both sides if a resolution were to be reached. And a Security Council resolution siding with the Palestinians would give the Palestinians the false hope that they could get a state through the United Nations without having to make painful sacrifices.

President Obama’s lame duck attempt to tie the hands of his successor is both counterproductive to peace and undemocratic in nature. The lame-duck period of an outgoing president is a time when our system of checks and balances is effectively suspended. The outgoing president does not have to listen to Congress or the people. He can selfishly try to burnish his personal legacy at the expense of our national and international interests. He can even try to settle personal scores and act on pique, which is what seems to be happening here. Congress does not support this resolution; the American people do not support this resolution; no Israeli leader – from the Left, to the center, to the Right – supports this resolution. Even some members of Obama’s own administration do not support this resolution. But Obama is determined – after 8 years of frustration and failure in bringing together the Israelis and Palestinians – to leave his mark on the Mid-East peace process. But if he manages to push this resolution through, his mark may well be the end of any realistic prospect for a negotiated peace.

One would think that Obama would have learned from his past mistakes in the Mid-East. He has alienated the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, the Emirates and other allies by his actions and inactions with regard to Iran, Syria, Egypt and Iraq. Everything he has touched has turned to sand.

Now, in his waning days, he wants to make trouble for his successor. He should be stopped in the name of peace, democracy and basic decency.

But it appears that Obama will not be stopped. Four temporary Security Council members have decided to push the resolution to a vote now, today. It is difficult to believe that they would have done so without the implicit support of the United States.

Stay tuned.

Addendum

As predicted, the United States allowed the anti-Israel resolution to be approved by the United Nations Security Council.  Votes in favor were cast by Russia, which has occupied Kornengsberg since 1945, after capturing that ancient German city, ethnically cleansing its population and bringing in hundreds of thousands of Russian settlers;  China, which has occupied Tibet and brought in thousands of Chinese settlers; France who occupied and settled Algeria for many years; Great Britain which has occupied and colonized a significant portion of the globe; and assorted other countries, several of which have horrendous human rights records.

Israel on the other hand, offered to end the occupation and settlements in 2000-2001 and again in 2008 only to be rebuffed by the Palestinian leadership. But Israel is the only country to have been condemned by the Security Council for an occupation and settlement.  This hypocrisy is typical of the United Nations as even our representative acknowledged when she explained why the United States abstained.

Now peace will be more difficult to achieve, as the Palestinians become further convinced that they do not have to accept Netanyahu’s offer to negotiate without preconditions.

Thank you, President Obama for completing your 8 years of failed foreign policy with a final blow against, peace, stability and decency.

Congress can ameliorate the impact of this destructive resolution by enacting a statute declaring that the resolution does not represent the United States’ policy, which is that peace will not come through the United Nations but only by direct negations between the parties.  The law should also prohibit any United States funds to be spent directly or indirectly in support of this Security Council resolution. I suspect that the incoming president will be willing to sign such a law.
