התרומות תעבורנה לצורך ההתיישבותי הדחוף ביותר (בית השלום? הגבעות החדשות שקמו בחנוכה? וכו') ע"פ סיכום בין ראשי היישוב היהודי בקריית-ארבע חברון - תנועת נשים בירוק - תנועת מטות ערים (נאמני א"י בתחום הקו הירוק). ראשי הארגונים הללו טרם החליטו כי כרגע כל ראשי הארגונים בלוויה ורק כותבת שורות אלה פנויה להודיע לכם על מבצע החירום הזה שסוכם לפני מספר דקות באמצעות ס.מ.ס-ים עם הצועדים בלוויה.

The funeral of the two wonderful boys from Kiryat Arba is being held NOW.  

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/

If you, too, are furious about this, as is the person writing these lines on behalf of Mattot Arim, please act now so we can make SOME good come out of this evil. Please do two important things as per the requests a few moments ago of leaders of Kiryat Arba and other settler leaders SMSing to us directly from the funeral:

 

a. Please make an immediate gift to the URGENT needs of the settlement movement; the exact purpose of the gifts (Bet Hashalom in Kiryat Arba?? communities newly established on Hanuca?? etc.) in memory of the two dead boys  -- it is particularly important for those of us who are NOT settlers to do this so the settlers will not -- G-D FORBID be alone at this difficult hour. Write your cheque out to " HaYishuv haYehudi beChevron (Jewish Community of Hebron) or Women in Green" and tomorrow, the heads of the Kiryat Arba/Hebron/Women in Green/Mattot Arim organizations will sort out what exactly is the most urgent thing to do with the money. (All the  heads of the organizations are now as we speak marching in the funeral and the person writing these lines has simply made up with them by SMS, the bare outline of this special message to you).

 

*Mail your cheque URGENT to Mattot Arim, POB 1588 Rehovot (do NOT make out your cheque to Mattot Arim - cheque must be made out to "Jewish Community of Hebron or Women in Green").

 

* When thinking what sum to write -- think of the parents of these two young men, how are they feeling at this moment attending their own sons' funerals, "in honor of" Annapolis and President Bushs' visit - disgusting!!! -- and think how their only small consolation -- the only one -- is going to be the generosity of you and me who are reading this right now and decide we are WITH THEM

 

*Send an IMMEDIATE email to mattot.arim@gmail.com saying "Am sending urgent contribution of xxx in memory of David & Achikam, signed (NAME, WHERE U LIVE)" so we will know THIS EVENING  that money is coming in, at least 2 of the needs are really urgent (you know how the settlement movement works, unfortunately it goes from one crisis to the next). If you do not want your name used please so indicate. Otherwise we would like to maybe use the names, the names  will help persuade Israel's foolish government how strongly the people support our brothers and sisters in Yehuda veShomron.

 

b. Olmert and his ministers are on the verge of forcing 10 young families out of newly purchased Bet Hashalom, between Kiryat Arba and Hebron. Please fax NOW to Olmert's office and the offices of Ministers Yishai (Shas) and Avigdor Liberman: Word your own fax or you can use our words if you don't like making up your own:

DO NOT DARE TO EVICT THE JEWS LIVING AS A MATTER OF RIGHT IN THE NEW BET HASHALOM HOUSE IN KIRYAT ARBA!! THE TWO DEAD BOYS, DAVID RUBIN AND ACHIKAM AMICHAI, WHOSE NAMES ARE REMINISCENT OF KING DAVID WHO RULED IN HEBRON AND OF THE JEWISH REVIVAL SLOGAN, "AM YISRAEL CHAI" ARE COMMANDING YOU FROM THEIR GRAVES: LEAVE THE JEWS BE!!

Fax numbers (phones are excellent too, but only from tomorrow (Sun.) morning -- now offices are closed unfortunately):

 

Olmert -- faxes 02-5664838, 02-6513955, 02-6535178,  tel 02-6705555,

Minister Eli Yishai -- Fax 02-6662909   Phone  02-6662255

Minister Avigdor Liberman - Fax 02 6547101  Tel 02 6547100  

FROM ABROAD FOR ALL NUMBERS REPLACE 0 WITH 972

 

Through fire and through water -- Jerusalem and Hebron!!

(in Hebrew: Ba'esh u-va-mayim -- Hevron viYerushalayim!!)

Do all you can -- the spirit of David and Achikam (means: "my brethren will rise") will be with you until we have success.

FORWARD THIS EMAIL immediately TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW IN ISRAEL AND ABROAD -- THANK YOU

 

With sorrow and determination, M A T T O T   A R I M

New survey of US Jews: No more majority for Palestinian state

"There has been a steady erosion in Jewish support for Palestinian statehood in recent AJC surveys....Now, only 46 percent support creation of a Palestinian state "in the current situation," compared to 54 percent last year and 56 percent in 2005.

U.S. Jews Edge Right On Peace Compromises

by James D. Besser

Published on: Dec 12, 2007

American Jews are increasingly pessimistic about the prospects for Mideast peace and less willing to support the "painful compromises" that Israeli leaders say will be critical to solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At the same time, the gap between self-described Orthodox Jews and the non-Orthodox continues to widen on a host of Mideast questions, including the issues of Palestinian statehood and compromise on Jerusalem's boundaries, according to the American Jewish Committee's 2007 Survey of Jewish Public Opinion, released on Tuesday. The survey results included some good news for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in their quests for their parties' presidential nominations and some bad news for communal leaders concerned about a fraying connection between Israeli and diaspora Jews. Overall, the numbers pointed to a community firmly anchored to the political center but with a persistently Democratic cast that defies even the huge Orthodox/non-Orthodox divide. That gap was particularly dramatic on the issue of the Iraq war. While a clear majority of American Jews think the invasion of Iraq was a mistake — 67 percent — 57 percent of Orthodox respondents said going into Iraq was the "right thing." "The Orthodox/non-Orthodox divide may be the most important finding" in this year's AJC survey, said David Harris, executive director of the group — particularly because of expected growth in the Orthodox sector due to higher birthrates. And that means the political gap could eventually turn into a chasm, he suggested. Opposition to compromises on the status of Jerusalem as part of an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement edged up from 52 to 58 percent. Broken down by religious stream, the data showed a direct correlation between opposition and level of observance, with 77 percent of those identifying as Orthodox, 65 percent of Conservatives, 59 percent of Reform and 44 percent of "just Jewish" nixing compromise. Nathan Diament, Washington director for the Orthodox Union and a leader in coalition efforts to prevent any compromise on Jerusalem, said the numbers are particularly striking "because the question was asked about compromise in the context of a permanent settlement with the Palestinians, not under current conditions, which are much more unstable." But, defying the conventional wisdom, a plurality of self-identified Orthodox Jews — 42 percent — continue to say they are Democrats, according to the new survey, while 30 percent call themselves Republicans. Overall, 15 percent of the Jewish sample identified as Republicans, the same as last year, 58 percent as Democrats — up 4 points from 2006. "The survey indicates you still have a way to go before you get to a kind of messianic age for Jewish Republicans," said AJC research director David Singer. Still, Orthodox Jews are twice as likely to be Republicans as the non-Orthodox, he said. The mood of the 1,000 respondents questioned by telephone Nov. 6-25, was gloomy when it came to Middle East peace. Asked if peace negotiations between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas can lead to peace in the "foreseeable future" — the survey was conducted before last month's Annapolis peace talks — 55 percent said no; 74 percent said Israel cannot "achieve peace with a Hamas-led Palestinian government." There has been a steady erosion in Jewish support for Palestinian statehood in recent AJC surveys; this year's Hamas takeover in Gaza may have accelerated the decline. Now, only 46 percent support creation of a Palestinian state "in the current situation," compared to 54 percent last year and 56 percent in 2005. "The willingness to support compromises has been declining," said the AJC's Harris. "The Gaza withdrawal did not lead to the hoped-for coexistence between Israel and Israel; instead it led to Gaza as a platform for terror attacks. That, I'm sure, raised the pessimism quotient." An overwhelming proportion — 82 percent — agreed with the statement that "the goal of the Arabs is not the return of occupied territories but rather the destruction of Israel," the same as last year. "There has always been a kind of schizophrenia among a majority of American Jews," Harris said. "There is a yearning for peace, but a deep skepticism about whether peace is possible. There is a willingness to support major compromises for peace, but also a fear that the ultimate goal of the Arabs is the destruction of the state of Israel." That trend continued in 2007, he said — but the new data points to a "new level" of pessimism, he said. Jewish opposition to the Iraq war continued at a high level, except among Orthodox respondents. Over half — 52 percent — said President Bush's troop "surge" in Iraq is having "no impact" on the situation, 30 percent saying it is making matters "better." Contradicting a Zogby International poll earlier this fall that described a Jewish shift toward support for military action against Iran, the new AJC survey indicated that Jewish opposition to such action increased slightly, to 57 percent, despite a high level of concern that Iran may obtain nuclear weapons. Economy As Top Issue Domestically, the AJC survey pointed to a Jewish community that remains heavily liberal and strongly focused on domestic priorities. Forty-three percent identified themselves as falling on the "liberal" side of the political continuum, 25 percent in the conservative range, mostly unchanged from last year. Republican identification held steady at 15 percent; 58 percent identified themselves as Democrats, up four points from last year, with a statistically insignificant drop in independent voters. Asked which is the "most important problem facing the United States today," 22 percent said the "economy and jobs," 19 percent health care. The war in Iraq and terrorism came in third and fourth, respectively. The AJC's Singer said there was very little variation on that question by level of Jewish observance — except on the issue of terrorism, which 22 percent of Orthodox respondents identified as the nation's top problem. As anti-illegal immigration sentiment rages across the nation, only 8 percent of the Jewish respondents identified that as the most important problem. On a separate question, 42 percent said illegal immigration is a 'very serious problem," 37 percent a "somewhat serious problem" — fairly consistent with national polls of the broader electorate. At the same time, Jews do not favor draconian solutions to the problem; 67 percent say illegal immigrants should be allowed to "remain to work if meet certain criteria." An overwhelming 82 percent said it is "very important" for the United States to achieve energy independence. Asked how that could be accomplished, a strong majority — 69 percent — answered "developing alternative energy sources," down five points from 2006. "Greater energy production" was cited by only 7 percent. With 11 months to go before next year's presidential election, the AJC pollsters did not ask for presidential preferences. But one question should bring smiles to the faces of two frontrunners. Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton is regarded favorably by 53 percent of respondents, unfavorably by 29 percent; Republican Rudy Giuliani got a positive rating from 41 percent, a negative one from 38 percent. Both are the overwhelming favorites of Jews who identify with their respective parties. "If I were Hillary I wouldn't be unhappy with a 2-to-1 ratio of positives to negatives," said University of Florida political scientist Kenneth Wald, who studies Jewish politics. Giuliani's numbers, he said, are "OK ... I can't imagine any other Republican doing better with Jewish voters." Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, now tied for first place among Republicans in several national polls, was not included in the AJC questions because he was considered a dark horse at the time the survey was conducted. There was another number that set off alarm bells in some Jewish boardrooms — the proportion saying they feel "very close" to Israel was down 7 percent, to 30 percent. Forty percent — up 1 percent from 2005 — said they feel "fairly close. Those answering "fairly distant" increased 5 percent from last year, to 21 percent. And the number who agree that "Caring about Israel is a very important part of my being a Jewish" continued to edge downward — to 69 percent, from 74 percent last year and 79 percent in 2005. "There has been an ebb and flow of those numbers in recent years," said the AJC's David Harris. "But over the longer term, many of us fear that with the passage of time, the distance between [American and Israeli Jews] will grow. From once being siblings, we're becoming second cousins."

FOLKS YOU DID A VERY VERY IMPORTANT THING, KOL HAKAVOD

Thank you very much to the many, many people who contacted Agudath Yisroel USA and asked them to issue a statement about Annapolis -- which they did, and yes, this was as a result of your respectful letters (we know that - in fact we have already fw'ed thanks on everyone's behalf to the heads of Agudath Yisroel USA who lost no time in getting back to us and reciprocating our thanks.). 

 

As a direct consequence of what you and others requested from Agudath Yisroel USA, Steve Hadley (nat'l security advisor) committed that the USA would not pressure for a Palestinian state over and above what Olmert himself is pushing. We have to "babysit" that commitment of course, naturally, but on the other hand, you can't babysit a commitment that Hadley isn't willing to make. So...many thanks to every single letter writer. You have made a difference.

Hareidi activists, kindly IMMEDIATELY post respectful and informative comments under the relevant stories in the following site-- thank you:

DRAFT-Preliminary Press Release- - New Jewish Congress.

DRAFT-Preliminary Press Release- - New Jewish Congress

THE NEW JEWISH CONGRESS, a Preparatory Conference Concerning THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE JEWISH NATION OVER THE JEWISH STATE IN ERETZ-ISRAEL, is currently (TUESDAY, November 27, 2007, 3:30 PM underway in Ramada-Renaissance Hotel in Jerusalem. The conference will close its doors at 8 PM this evening. The conference evoked considerable interest among Israelis from all walks of life, some of whom found themselves rallying in Jerusalem until late last night against Annapolis and then returning to the city to attend the conference which opened its doors this morning. Jews and Gentiles abroad also expressed interest and support.

 

Impressions from the Congress include:

 

    Political issues of Jewish sovereignty were discussed  by Shlomo Idan, a secular intellectual and Mattot Arim activist residing in Rehovot, an academic town which houses the world-famous Weizmann Institute of Science. Idan discussed the Hebrew concept of "gnevat kolot" (vote stealing) in which a politician elected under a first agenda turns around and operates under a contradictory agenda. Idan noted that this phenomenon when practiced by two reneging rightwing MKs in 1995 had resulted in the Oslo accords passing by a majority of exactly 2. Another example was the forceable deportation from Gush Katif initiated by Premier Ariel Sharon who had been elected on precisely the opposite agenda as evidenced by one of his well known pronouncements promising permanent status to settlements. A third example was the vote of the 300,000-strong Likud membership against the Gush Katif deportation, initiated by Premier Sharon himself but ignored when the result was the opposite of that he anticipated. Finally, Idan focussed on a quote by veteran Israeli MK Micky Eitan in which Eitan asserted that a party platform does not obligate the representatives of that party. Idan warned that a solution, perhaps even legislation, must be found to eradicate this phenomenon which renders the Jewish people powerless to control its own destiny as unscrupulous politicians take the helm again and again.

 

    Aviad Vissoly, Likud activist and attorney hailing from Haifa, spoke about the contentious issue of the eastern border of the Jewish state. Vissoly pointed out that the eastern border of Israel clearly includes the entirety of Judea and Samaria since Israel has applied its sovereignty to this area on at least six separate occasions, namely in its Declaration of Independence (de jure), in the Six Day War (de facto), when Jordan announced its disassociation from Judea and Samaria, in Israel's peace accord with Jordan, brokered by the United States, in which the international border with Israel's eastern neighbor was determined to be the Jordan River, in the Oslo Accords in which the Palestinians agreed to autonomy, as opposed to a state, and that in specific regions termed A and B alone rather than in the entirety of Judea and Samaria, and by virtue of the application of many Israeli laws to Judea and Samaria.

 

    Rabbi Dov Stein, a central rabbinical activist in an attempt, spearheaded by talmudic scholar Rabbi Adin Steinzaltz, to revive the Sanhedrin, described the civil service and warned of the dangers of nepotism in the ranks of the civil servants of the Jewish state. Blanat favoritism toward relatives and friends is not conducive to the Jewish sovereignty that is to be striven for, Stein said.

 

    Dr. Amnon Hever spoke of social justice in the spirit of Israel's prophets, such as Isaiah, Amos and others, and emphasized that this was a prerequisite for rebuilding of the Temple according to various Jewish sources. Hever regretted that Israel's early pioneers, who were committed to social justice, attempted to implement it relying on the principles of communism and socialism as opposed to sterling Jewish principles. Hever suggested that alternative frameworks take upon themselves various social, economic and health functions which Israel's government is failing to provide. Hever's analysis shed new light on the proliferation of just this type of organization in Israel today, effectively replacing the government in many arenas, such as mutual aid philanthropy (thousands of Gamach funds often run by synagogogues or respected individuals, Koach laTet and more), health (Ezer MiZion,  Yad Sara, Rabbi Firer's consultation service, Kav laChayim, etc.) emergency care (Hatzala, Zaka), financial consulting (Paamonim), labor relations (Maaglei Zedek), criminal justice (Human Rights in Yesha, Honenu) and more.

 

    Tel-Aviv philospher Ohad Kamin spoke on the topic of human rights and emphasized that this modern notion is based directly and almost exclusiveyl on classic Jewish values. Kamin said that this should be emphasized, to give the Jewish state a better standing in international politics in which human rights is a very popular and politically inspiring concept at this time, particularly insofar as young voters and activists are concerned. Focussing on this topic would allow Israel to win its existential wars and simultaneously to exercise its traditional role of acting as a "light unto the nations", Kamin said.

 

    Former Knesset member Elyakim Haetzni lashed out at the Annapolis Conference, which he said was intended to create two Quartet protectorates which are to entirely replace and eradicate the independent Jewish state of Israel. These protectorates, Palestine and, in name only, Israel, would be  "defended" by NATO. Neither would enjoy sovereignty; the Palestinian entity so as not to endanger world peace and the Jewish entity because its people and supporters worldwide would, perhaps, not speak out sufficiently for Israel to retain the Jewish sovereignty it currently enjoyed. Haetzni repeated his known position regarding the advisability of civil disobedience.

Open letter to Malcolm Hoenlein from Israeli NGO

attn Mr. Malcolm Hoenlein

Executive VP,

Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations

USA

 

Dear Mr. Hoenlein,

 

Re: Dissemination of Inaccuracies at Governmental Level  May be the Basis for the Annapolis Conference

 

We ask your assistance in alerting the Administration in your country to inaccuracies, in official Government pronouncements. These inaccuracies together form a "Big Lie" which is forming the basis for the Annapolis conference.

Unfortunately, this intellectual sloppiness may endanger the State of Israel. We feel it is imperative for you to speak up and set the record straight.  

 

Specifically:

 

Governmental money IS going to terrorists - a la Arafat period: The Foreign Minister's newsflash of today, see below, claims the existence of a "mechanism for transferring and monitoring [two billion NIS to the Palestinian Authority], to prevent their use by terrorist organizations". This is absolute nonsense. No such mechanism exists: Knesset Member Slomiansky, a member of the Knesset Finance Committee, requested information about this much-touted "mechanism" many months ago, and no answer was forthcoming from the Prime Minister's office. Since that time, just to prove this point, on at least 2 occasions hundreds of millions of shekels provided to the PA by our government have in fact  wound up in the hands of the Hamas, as reported prominently in the Israeli press.

 

Abu Mazen's pro-violence statements disregarded - a la Arafat period: The newsflash below also asserts that "the new Palestinian Government provides a renewed opportunity to move forward in the peace process". This conclusion too is fueled by a governmental (here) disregard for the facts on the ground that can only be termed bizarre in the extreme: I refer you to MK Alon's ancient parliamentary inquiry on this issue, long overdue for response. MK Alon's old inquiry to PM Olmert noted the Palestinian leader, Abu Mazen's famous speech indicating that "all guns, all guns, all guns" will be trained on Israel, and requested that the Cabinet at least debate the implications of this speech. I just spoke to the office of MK Alon, which confirmed to me that Mr. Olmert's office has, to date, disregarded his months'-overdue legal obligation to respond to this parliamentary inquiry.

 

Israeli majority asserted - none exists: Your Secretary of State indicated in her most recent speech: "I believe that most Israelis are ready to leave most of the -- nearly all of the West Bank". Of course, Dr. Rice is relying on an almost identical statement by President Peres to Associated Press shortly after he was inaugurated. But Mr. Peres's statement is utterly false; in fact the polls show the opposite. Our organization supplied the refutation to Mr. Peres (poll results from  Tel Aviv University's reputable Peace Poll project) right after his statement came out, however Mr. Peres has, by omission, declined  to retract this inaccuracy, so if you do not undertake to set the record straight, it seems that no-one will.

 

This letter is an open letter because we believe these matters must be dealt with, quickly, of course, but also openly.  We would very much appreciate your response confirming that these matters have been brought to the attention of the Administration, and what was the response there.

Subject: Behind the Headlines: Israeli Confidence Building Measures towards the Palestinians 14 November 2007

MFA Newsletter
Behind the Headlines: Israeli Confidence Building Measures towards the Palestinians Israel believes that the new Palestinian Government provides a renewed opportunity to move forward in the peace process toward the realization of the two-state vision. It is in this spirit that Israel has recently taken practical steps to assist the Palestinian government in creating a better environment for progress Israel believes that the new Palestinian Government - established after the takeover of Gaza by Hamas terrorists in June 2007 - provides a renewed opportunity to move forward in the peace process toward the realization of the two-state vision. It is in this spirit that Israel has recently taken practical steps to assist the Palestinian government, led by President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, in creating a better environment for progress. The following is a brief list of some of the confidence building measure recently taken by Israel towards this end:   1. Releasing Withheld Tax and Customs Revenues – About 1 Billion NIS (approx. $250 million) have already been transferred to the PA, and the remainder of the revenues, another 1 Billion NIS, will be transferred by the end of the year. Israel and the PA have established a mutually acceptable mechanism for transferring and monitoring these funds, to prevent their use by terrorist organizations.   2. Promoting Palestinian Development:   - Promotion of Sewage Project with World Bank in Gaza, now underway in Beit Lahia, and serving the Northern Gaza strip   - MASHAV Projects – More than 230 Palestinian Trainees in such fields as Public Health, Small Business, Agriculture, Import/Export,  Educational Planning and Empowerment of Women and Youth   3. Security-related Measures:   - Easing of Movement – 25 roadblocks and checkpoints were removed in the West Bank   - Amnesty of Wanted Terrorists – About 170 wanted Fatah terrorists were offered amnesty in exchange for renunciation of terrorism and surrendering of weapons.   - Prisoner Release – About 350 prisoners were released in two phases (20 July and 1 October) with a third phase now being contemplated.   - Provisions for PA Security Forces – Israel recently consented to the transfer of supplies and equipment to the PA Security Forces, above and beyond that called for in the Israel-Palestinian agreements.   - Palestinian Security Force Deployment – PA security forces, with Israel's consent, have just been redeployed in Nablus (the largest West Bank city), and other cities are being considered for further redeployments.   4. Re-convening the Bilateral Committees established in the Oslo Accords, in order to address the ongoing needs of the Palestinian Authority:   - Health, Tourism and Agriculture Committees already working   - Legal Committee and Joint Economic Committee (established by the Paris Accord) to begin working soon   5. Expanding Economic Cooperation:   - Meetings of Business Community Leaders – Lately Israel has facilitated and supported several meetings between Israeli and Palestinian business community which have taken place under various non-governmental auspices. For example, the Israeli Manufactures Association has conducted a high level forum with Palestinian counterparts, and the Portland Fund has initiated the establishment of an Israeli-Palestinian Chamber of Commerce.   - Promotion of Economic Projects with International Partners - Turkey's Industrial Zone Project in Tarqumieh and Japan's 'Corridor of Peace' Project in Jericho are two such projects   It is Israel's hope that these measure, and others that will be taken in the near future, will help create and support an atmosphere conducive to progress in the renewed peace-making process - both in the negotiating room and in Palestinian public sentiment.	14 November 2007   MFA Website Subscribe to MFA newsletters   Quick links: • The Israel-Palestinian peace process: A two-state vision • A Performance-Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Apr 2003)
