PUBLIC CALL: DON'T CARRY OUT ILLEGAL ORDERS!
Topic: Sharon's Disengagement
A statement signed by over 150 public figures calls upon IDF soldiers and police officers to refuse to carry out orders to expel Jews from their homes. The statement, published in the weekly B'Sheva newspaper issued today, stresses that such orders are patently illegal and effectively negate the right of Jews to live anywhere in Israel.

Among the signatures are those of Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's father, Professor Ben-Tzion Netanyahu; the minister's brother Ido Netanyahu; Education Minister Limor Livnat's brother Noam Livnat; and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's legendary comrade-in-arms from the 1950s-era Commando Unit 101, Meir Har-Tzion.

Others on what is called the "preliminary" list of signatories are two former directors of the Prime Minister's Office, Uri Elitzur and Yossi Ben-Aharon, as well as a long list of public figures, scientists and former mayors and members of the Knesset.

The statement reads, in part, as follows:
"We declare that expulsion and uprooting are national crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as manifestations of despotism and capricious evil aimed at negating the right of Jews - just because they are Jews - to live in their land.

"We call upon the officials that were commanded to prepare the infrastructure for the ethnic cleansing of Jews from their homeland, and to all the officers, soldiers and police as well, to listen to the voice of their national and personal conscience and not participate in actions which will sully it and for which they will feel sorry for the rest of their lives.

"We appeal to the intended targets of the expulsion orders not to cooperate with the expulsion apparatus, not to accept compensation, and to actively oppose the destruction - though without attacking fellow Jews, even as they come to destroy [your] homes.

"We call upon the government of Israel not to give the police and IDF these flagrantly illegal orders, which are forbidden to give and forbidden to fulfill, and to thus prevent an irreparable split within the nation and the IDF."

The Gamla Shall Not Fall Again organization is behind this initiative. Several other projects aimed at raising public awareness as to the gravity and illegality of orders to expel Jews from parts of Israel are in the works. A Hebrew web site enables soldiers to declare their refusal to carry out expulsion orders, and a group of new immigrants is working a non-online petition declaring that they moved to Israel "to build, not to destroy."

Three enemies: The PLO, the Arab League & Saudi Arabia.

Israel not at war with invisible Islamic terror

There is a myth that Israel is at war with invisible Islamic "terror" that is hard for the Jewish state to identify and pinpoint.


Quite the contrary: Israel remains in a formal state of war with entities that it can easily identify.


In May 1948, The Arab League galvanized led six nations- Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iraq , to declare war against the creation of Israel in 1948. That same Arab League remains at war with Israel to this day - even though Egypt and Jordan eventually signed peace treaties with Israel, and even though Syria and Lebanon eventually signed armistice agreements with Israel, while Iraq was neutralized by the US.


That leaves Saudia Arabia in an active state of war with Israel.


In January 1964, the Arab League established the PLO to create an indigenous uprising of Palestinian Arabs to make war on Israel.


In June 1974, the Arab League and the PLO adapted a phased plan to continue that war, to take one piece of Palestine at a time until all of Palestine is "liberated."


In March 2002, the Arab League reaffirmed its war with Israel, based on the Saudi plan which clearly states that the war aim remains the return of all Arab refugees to replace Israel.


In April 2002, Israel acquired documents from PLO headquarters in Ramallah which proved that the PLO continues to act as a proxy for the Arab League and Saudi Arabia in the war against Israel. Those documents also showed how Islamic terror groups had been formally absorbed into the PLO.


In other words, Israel has three enemies that it can readily identify: The PLO , the Arab League and Saudi Arabia.


Only when Israel makes a strategic decision to defeat these three enemies will the 1948 war be resolved.


There is no war on terror. Only the continuation of the 1948 war, which has yet to be resolved.

  Conversely, their justification for killing (esp. beheading)infidels is based on "...very clear Islamic [koranic] text.

Who Lived in Gaza Three Hundred Years Ago?

???????????????????????? Who Lived in Gaza Three Hundred Years Ago?
??????????????????????????????? A Report From a Desolate Country
??????????????????????????????????????????????? By Moshe Feiglin

Late one nig
ht, when driving home from a meeting, my car phone started ringing. Who
could be calling me at such a time?

The voice was very clear, and sounded like an educated person.

"Shalom, this is ___. I was given your phone number by ___. Perhaps you have a few minutes to spare?

"I'm a businessman. Most of my business is abroad so that I travel a lot throughout the
world. My hobby is old books, and I'm a frequent visitor to shops specializing in old
books, mainly in Europe. I have a large collection. About a month ago I came across a
book that immediately drew my attention."

I receive many strange phone calls. Once I received a call from the Teachers Organization,
and was asked to give a lecture about civil disobedience in a democratic
country. The lecture took place in the end, and several hundred people came, but none
of them was a teacher. The entire Jewish department of the GSS were there, as well as
quite a few eccentric peopl
e.

"I'd like you to understand", my caller continued, "that I know something about old
books. This one was written in Latin with some Hebrew and Arabic. I read all these
languages. It was written by a priest who visited this country as the envoy of one of the
European kingdoms. He spent about ten years here, three hundred years ago, from 1695
to 1705. The book is a report about what he found here."

"This monk", the person continued, "wasn't just an ordinary priest. Amongst other things
he was a qualified surveyor by profession, having a tremendous amount
of knowledge in several fields. He was very familiar with the Talmud and other Jewish
sources. He reached the ruins of ancient Jewish sites, ruins that had remained desolate
since the exile of the Jewish people, and most of which cannot be located today, and
knew how to refer each site to the sources in which it is mentioned. He drew
amazingly accurate maps (in terms of the technol
ogy of that time) and knew how to
determine the precise distances between the sites by observations of the stars. But he
does not only scientifically describe all the sites he discovered, in alphabetical order,
but also precisely documents the small population that he found in those sites. Take
Gaza, for instance. Who do you think lived in Gaza three hundred years ago? In fact
only a few dozen people lived in Gaza, most of whom were Jews, together with a few
Christians, and a single Arab family."

Now I begin to realize why this person called me. He has come across conclusive
evidence for the justification of our existence here, and he wishes to receive my aid in
publicizing it. I have already encountered many first-rate professionals in the fields of
law and history, who thought that all that was lacking in order to change the situation
here was to present the right facts. I like these people, their knowledge and, not less,
their innoc
ence.

This book will change nothing. I remember how I met with Limor Livnat. (This was
when she hoped that I would support her, and I was therefore a welcome guest. When
her hopes were disappointed I turned into a criminal, a hostile element attempting to
gain control of the party.) She expected that we would demand jobs in the Ministry of
Education. I requested one thing only - that Joan Peters' book, From Earliest Times,
that totally disproves the Palestinian fabrication, be included in the syllabus of the
Ministry of Education. We even spent several thousand shekels of Manhigut Yehudit's
budget to finance some of the costs of publishing an additional edition of the book.

The books remained untouched in our office. Instead of studying Mark Twain's book,
Travels in the Holy Land, that describes his visit to the country about a century and a
half after the priest's visit, and gives a similar description (literary instead of
scienti
fic), Yossi Sarid preferred to include in the syllabus Mahmood Darwish's
exhilarating work, Go, and Take Your Dead With You.

"This is more or less the same situation in Shechem, Hebron, and other parts of the
country", continued my caller. "The country is largely uninhabited and full of ruins of
ancient Jewish settlements. Most of the population is Jewish, there are a small number
of Christians, and virtually no Arabs. I checked in the Library of Congress and other
places and discovered that I apparently own the sole remaining copy of the book.

Someone must take this book, someone who knows Latin, a real professional. This
book must be translated and publicized."

I asked him why he doesn't approach state institutions in this matter.

It transpired that he was well aware that official Israel is seeking the "Palestinian" roots
of this country, and not its Jewish ones.

"I've been following your activities for some time. I t
hought that perhaps you can
suggest how to get this project off the ground."

Both because I wished to look at the book and because I needed to size up this person,
I quickly arranged a meeting in his home. He didn't waste time and gathered together
a few dozen of his neighbors to come to listen to a lecture that I gave in his home that
same evening. I cane to his home an hour earlier. With trembling hands I leafed
through the ancient book, opened the old maps, read the Hebrew quotations, saw the
ancient texts that he had accurately drawn, and even the Arab words in the place
where some Arabs lived. Leafing through the book is like traveling in a time machine.

This is a national treasure that should be kept in its own museum. This is a foundation
stone for all the historical research about Eretz Israel.

The day will come when the Jewish State will value such treasures, and make sure that
every Israeli child is familiar with them
. But we can't wait for the State. Someone
must take upon himself the financing of the research and publicity for this book.

Can someone hear me

"Angels saved our lives"
Soldiers' lives are spared in massive Gaza bombing

That no one was killed in Sunday night's bombing of a Gaza IDF outpost is the result of the LORD God's divine protection, said one Israeli soldier from the scene of the attack.

"There were angels guarding us tonight as we stood guarding Israel. We can feel it," the soldier told Arutz 7.

Five Israeli soldiers were wounded in the blast, one seriously.

Palestinian Arabs from the nearby town of Khan Yunis apparently managed to tunnel the approximately 350 yards to the outpost and planted a 150-kilogram
bomb beneath it.

But the casualties could have been much higher had the terrorists succeeded in placing their explosives under the outpost's barracks rather than its parking lot.

"Thank God, they seem to have dug [the tunnel] under where they thought our barracks were, but instead blew up the parking lot... It is really a miracle
that they didn't succeed in blowing up the barracks," the thankful soldier told his interviewer.

Israel gov't harms world Jewry interests - report By DANIEL FARBER
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1088305772408

The Israeli government does not take into consideration world Jewry when making policy decisions, a new study has concluded. According to the first annual report of the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute (JPPPI) headed by former US envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross - the interaction between the State of Israel and the Diaspora strengthens Jews everywhere and is a crucially important factor in shaping the future of the Jewish people. JPPPI was established by the Jewish Agency for Israel. The JPPPI recently released a 600-page assessment, titled "The Jewish People 2004,: Between Thriving and Decline," that addresses physical, economical, cultural, and spiritual resources that are available to the Jewish people. The report also evaluates threats and weaknesses which worldwide Jewish communities face today. The report accuses the government of not thinking through the possible outcomes of its actions, which sometimes have a negative effect on Jewish communities around the world. One solution the institute offered is creating a consulting world-Jewish body, which would participate in the decision making process in Israel. The report also points to the rising numbers of mixed marriages and declining number of Jews in the world, which currently stands on 13 million, of them under half living in Israel. Its states that the government should consider "accelerating religious conversion procedures in Israel." The report spoke of five major dimensions to the complex dynamics governing the relations between Israel and the Diaspora. The first dimension is the cultural and ethical aspect of Judaism. The report says that Israel unites and divides Jews at the same time, and that while Israel provides a source of honor, solidarity, and pride, it can also attract much criticism. Politics and security was the second dimension mentioned. According to the JPPPI, the political and security situation in Israel directly affects the Diaspora. Increase in terrorism and perceived media propaganda in favor of Israel have increased solidarity, yet these factors also create confusion and have caused many Diaspora Jews to feel disenfranchised and helpless in influencing events in a significant way. The view that Israel still lags behind the most affluent western countries, where large numbers of Jews live and prosper, directly affects the rate of immigration to Israel, and the immigration to the Diaspora, and creates the JPPPI's third and fourth dimensions: Economic, Social, and geographical issues. The fifth dimension is institutional and organizational cooperation between Israel and the Diaspora. The report states that Diaspora leaders and organizations have had limited impact on Israeli politics. It expresses the view that few organizations represent the Jewish people as a global "whole". While major organizations such as the Jewish Agency and the World Jewish Congress are used as a global platform and political instruments, the JPPPI feels that they do not represent the Jewish people in its totality.

Sharon Forcing court to adopt his anti-democratic action

Zionsake Editor: Sharon's scheming is so shrewd, it looks like the devil himself is advising him. But we see in Gen 4:6
"Why are you angry?" the Lord asked him. "Why is your face so dark with rage? 7 It can be bright with joy if you will do what

Sharon to Court: If dismissals illegal crime should pay 20 June 2004

Israel Radio correspondent Amos Shapira reported this morning that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's attorneys advised the Supreme Court in their written response to the petitions filed challenging the legality of the dismissals of National Union ministers Elon and Lieberman that even if the court should find that the action was illegal that the court should not intervene since the political map has changed in the meantime and there is no practical way to return the situation to its previous condition. In addition, the attorneys argue, the Prime Minister believes that reopening the disengagement plan to deliberations may grievously hurt Israel's diplomatic relations.

These arguments put the court in a particularly difficult situation since they require the court to essentially accept the anti-democratic principle that "the ends justify the means" since the "change" in the political map can be traced directly to the dismissals in questions.

To add to the challenge, Prime Minister Sharon already showed his contempt towards the court in the incident when he ignored the explicit instruction of Justice Edmond Levy of The High Court of Justice the day of the vote to postpone cabinet deliberations until a panel of three could hear the petitions for an injunction that afternoon. Sharon refused to honor Justice Levy's instruction to delay the deliberations for a few hours.

It is noteworthy that Attorney General Menachem Mazuz declined to insist that Levy's instructions be honored.

A penal of seven justices is to hear the case today.
