Re: Israel – To whom it may concern in Europe, Asia, Far East, the U.S., S.A and elsewhere r8

We are tired of hearing that withdrawal from Judea and Samaria will bring peace. We know and you know that it would bring another Gaza. So stop saying it and promoting this fallacy. Past experience has proven that concessions, appeasement and land for peace only increased terror, violence and more conflict and hostilities.

We are tired of hearing that land beyond the Green Line is ‘Arab-Palestinian land’. The Green Line is simply an armistice line that has no political significance. You know this too. The San Remo Treaty of 1920 Granted the Mandate for Palestine to the Jewish people, confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres, the same Allied powers also established 21 Arab States and one Jewish State – The Arabs are not willing to give up any part of the 21 Arab States and the Jews are not willing to give up any part of the Jewish State.

We are tired of hearing about the “Arab-Palestinian people.” They are no different from the Arabs of Syria or Egypt, from which most of their ancestors migrated in the last 150 years or so. There is no Palestinian language or religion, and until very recently they considered themselves simply ‘Arabs’. Their culture is almost entirely defined by their opposition to the Jewish State. Teaching hate, violence and terror to their children. Celebrating and honoring terrorists and suicide bombers. There never was an Arab-Palestinian State or people in History. The Arab Palestinians have a State in Jordan (where 75% of the people are Arab-Palestinians) which is 80% of the land originally allocated to the Jewish people under the San Remo Treaty of 1920 and confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres.

We are tired of hearing that “the Arab-Palestinians deserve a state.” We are indigenous here, not them, and their behavior entitles them more to a trial at The Hague than to a State. The Arab- Palestinians have a State it is called Jordan which was carved out of Jewish allocated land in 1922, in violation of the International treaties of 1920.

And they certainly do not deserve our Jewish State, west of the Jordan river, which is the only State they want. They already took 80% of Jewish allocated land which is Jordan, a country that never existed in history before WWI. Israel also gave them the Gaza Strip which they use to attack Israel and launch rockets.

We are tired of hearing about ‘The Occupation’, it is "Liberated Jewish Land".  As Minister Naftali Bennett said the other day, you can’t be an occupier in your own land. The Arabs are the occupiers, Greater Israel has been a Jewish State for 4,000 years even if it was temporarily conquered and occupied by various nations over the centuries and during their occupation they caused the desolation of the land.

The Jewish people liberated Greater Israel from Jordan occupation, like the U.S. and its allies liberated Kuwait from Iraqi occupation and like West Germany liberated East Berlin.

We are tired of hearing that “settlements are illegal under international law.” They are not. The San Remo Treaty of 1920 explicitly stated that Jewish people can reside anywhere in the Mandate for Palestine, those terms have not been abrogated and are set in perpetuity. It allocated The Palestine Mandate for the Jewish people. It does not state anywhere that any part of it is allocated to any other people and confirmed by the 1920 Treaty of Sevres.

We are tired of hearing that “settlement construction is an obstacle to peace!” Arab rejectionism, destruction, violence, terrorism and suicide bombing is the reason there is no peace. When the Arab-Palestinians teach and preach hate, suicide bombing, terror and destruction to their children, this is definitely not a road to peace and coexistence.

By the way, we are pro-peace. We are just not pro-suicide and self destruction.

We are tired of hearing about the 5 million (or whatever ridiculous number there are alleged to be) ‘Arab-Palestinian refugees’ or the ‘Arab-Palestinian Diaspora’. There were about 600,000 Arabs in Israel 300,000 that left their homes at the urging of the attacking Arab armies in 1948, mostly of their own volition, more or less at the same time as the over 995,000 Jewish refugees and their children were persecuted and expelled from Arab countries, of which the Arabs confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate property 120,440 sq, km. - 75,000 sq. miles (which is 5-6 times the size of Israel) valued in the trillions of dollars. We resettled ours Jews who were expelled from Arab countries with limited land and resources (due to natural growth, they number today over 7 million Jewish souls) — We implore on the Arab countries resettle yours (on the land and homes you confiscated from the million Jewish people and or Jordan), the 21 Arab states have more land and resources. The Arab dis-information must be ignored and countered.

We are tired of hearing anything from anyone associated with the U.N. The U.N. is a parasitic and criminal enterprise dominated by our mortal enemies. The U.N. cannot create states, it can only recommend and so can other nations only recommend and not create a state that never existed before in history. If they want an Arab-Palestinian state, it already exists, it is Jordan which has taken 80% of Jewish allocated land. They also have the land the Arabs Countries confiscated from the Arab expelled Jewish families which is 5-6 times the size of Israel (120,440 sq. km. or 75,000 sq. miles). They also have the Jewish property and land that is located in Jordan, Gaza, and across the Golan Heights which is under Syrian control which is about 50,000 sq. km.

We are tired of stupid post-colonialist rhetoric. We are not ‘colonists’ and Arabs do not have the right to murder us in the name of ‘resistance’ or beheading Jewish Rabbi’s in Jerusalem’s Har Nof Synagogue or run over our children.  Talking this way reveals you as moral imbeciles. They train their children to be suicide bombers and terrorists. The Arabs are the colonialists, they have colonized the whole Middle East, and they will take over Europe soon (ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, they are also killing their own people daily).

You can not recognize a state and people that never existed and that has no borders, no single government, and no economy. The Arab-Palestinians are not trusted by the Arab states either. Kuwait expelled over 400,000 Arab-Palestinians (the Arab-Palestinians danced in the streets during the 911 terror attack that killed 3,000 American civilians).

We know we can not depend on any kind of security guarantee from anyone except the Israel Defense Forces. So stop being insulted because we do not trust you. And do not ask us to give up any nuclear weapons we might or might not have or any other method and technology that could help protect us. It is our duty and obligation to protect our population at all costs, no responsible government will perform differently.

We develop new technology on a monthly basis. If you hate us so much, give us back all our Medical technology that saves your lives. Give us back all our technology development that help you advance economically and the list goes on and on.

We know that the left-wing parties in Israel are bankrupt of ideas. We are not going to vote for them, no matter how much you would like us to. So do not bother trying to influence our election. We will only vote for a government that protects its people and cares about the Jewish heritage, more than it cares about world opinion.

Don’t believe what you read in Ha’aretz newspaper, or any other leftist Media, they represent a minority that has no allegiance to the Jewish heritage.

Jerusalem the eternal Jewish City and undivided, is the capital of the Jewish State of Israel. Get used to it, because you can not change it, the Jewish temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem. It was never a Capital of any other nation.

Sincerely,

Ordinary Israelis who care about their safety, security, heritage and ancestry.

No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel -
David Ben Gurion
(David Ben-Gurion was the first Prime Minister of Israel and widely hailed as the State's main founder).

"No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish People in Israel.

No Jew has the authority to do so.

No Jewish body has the authority to do so.

Not even the entire Jewish People alive today has the right to yield any part of Israel.
It is the right of the Jewish People over the generations, a right that under
no conditions can be cancelled.

Even if Jews during a specific period proclaim they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the authority to deny it to future generations.

No concession of this type is binding or obligates the Jewish People. Our right to the country - the entire country - exists as an eternal right, and we shall not yield this historic right until its full and complete redemption is realized."

(David Ben Gurion, Zionist Congress, Basel, Switzerland, 1937.)

"No country in the world exists today by virtue of its 'right'.

All countries exist today by virtue of their ability to defend themselves against those who seek their destruction."

The Jewish people war of survival was not won when Hitler lost. It continues to this day, against enemies with far more effective tools of mass murder at their disposal. Plus we are easy to find now.

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”

The world at large must compare how Israel uplifted and resettled the dispossessed Million JEWISH REFUGEES and their children FROM ARAB COUNTRIES (who lived in those Arab countries for over 2,200 years) many Jews died from hardship, persecution by the Arabs and starvation during the expulsion. The Arab countries confiscated their assets, businesses, homes and Real Estate totaling 120,440 sq. km. - 75,000 sq. miles which is more than 5-6 times the size of Israel valued in the trillions of dollars with 67 years of Arab manipulation of a much lower number of Arab refugees. Mahmoud Abbas' stance on refugees makes a mockery of a two state solution, which will never happen. It denies the rights of the million Jewish refugees and their children from the Arab countries. It sidesteps Arab culpability for starting the wars that led to BOTH refugee issues. And it runs counter to the way every other population exchange has been resolved. They, the Arab-Palestinians have to consider relocating to Jordan (which is Jewish territory) and or to the homes of confiscated Jewish lands (120,440 sq. km.) the Arabs confiscated these large territories from the expelled Jewish people and their children. The Arabs have 21 States where they must resettle the Arab refugees , Israel has only one small one.

The Jewish people war of survival was not won when Hitler lost. It continues to this day, against enemies with far more effective tools of mass murder at their disposal. Plus we are easy to find now.

How many holidays do the Arabs-Muslims celebrate due to historical events in the land of ancient Israel and Jerusalem.

The Jewish people celebrate most of their holidays and fast days in memory of Jerusalem and Israel.

and the goal and aspiration to return to Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - where it was before it was destroyed and desecrated by the enemies of the Jews. Many of the Jewish prayers for thousands of years recite the love of Israel and the Jewish aspirations to return to their ancestral land and bring back its glory and holiness.

At Jewish weddings they break a glass in memory of Jerusalem and the aspiration to return and build the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

"No country in the world exists today by virtue of its 'right'.

All countries exist today by virtue of their ability to defend themselves against those who seek their destruction."

Israel needs to deal with another Arab-Palestinian leader who truly wants peace and coexistence. The Arabs must start by teaching their children that hate and violence will not be tolerated. Only than is there a chance of coexistence.



A Letter to the World at large from Jerusalem

 

       Please take a few moments to read this letter

On November 24, 2006, at the age of 92, a man named Stanley Goldfoot passed away.

He is remembered by family and friends for his love for and devotion to Israel and the Jewish people.

Stanley Goldfoot was born in Johannesburg , South Africa . Subsequent to his hearing a speech about the Zionist vision by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, he headed for Palestine where, at the age of 18, he joined a HaShomer HaTzair kibbutz.

After the rebirth of the Jewish State of Israel his main goal, which he eventually realized, was to establish a Zionist English newspaper, "The Times of Israel."

 In the first issue of "The Times of Israel", Stanley Goldfoot wrote his famous controversial "Letter to the World from Jerusalem", which caused quite a stir. The article is still relevant and, in his memory, we want to share it with you.

 

A Letter to the World from Jerusalem

by Eliezer ben Yisrael (Stanley Goldfoot)

I am not a creature from another planet, as you seem to believe. I am a Jerusalemite, like yourselves, a man of flesh and blood.

I am a citizen of my city, an integral part of my people. I have a few things to get off my chest. Because I am not a diplomat, I do not have to mince words. I do not have to please you or even persuade you. I owe you nothing. You did not build this city, you did not live in it,  you did not defend it when they came to destroy it. And we will be damned if we will let you take it away. 

There was a Jerusalem before there was a New York.  When Berlin, Moscow, London, and Paris were miasmal forest and swamp, there was a thriving Jewish community here. It gave something to the world which you nations have rejected ever since you established yourselves - a humane moral code.

Here the prophets walked, their words flashing like forked lightning. Here a people who wanted nothing more than to be left alone, fought off waves of heathen would-be conquerors, bled and died on the battlements, hurled themselves into the flames of their burning Temple rather than surrender, and, when finally overwhelmed by sheer numbers and led away into captivity, swore that before they forgot Jerusalem, they would see their tongues cleave to their palates, their right arms wither. (see psalms 137)

 For two pain-filled millennia, while we were your unwelcome guests, we prayed daily to return to this city.

Three times a day we petitioned the Almighty: "Gather us from the four corners of the world, bring us upright to our land, return in mercy to Jerusalem, Thy city, and swell in it as Thou promised."

On every Yom Kippur and Passover, we fervently voiced the hope that next year would find us in Jerusalem.

 Your inquisitions, pogroms, expulsions, the ghettos into which you jammed us, your forced baptisms, your quota systems, your genteel anti-semitism, and the final unspeakable horror, the holocaust (and worse, your terrifying disinterest in it) - all these have not broken us. They may have sapped what little moral strength you still possessed, but they forged us into steel.

 Do you think that you can break us now after all we have been through?

Do you really believe that after Dachau and Auschwitz we are frightened by your threats of blockades and sanctions?

We have been to Hell and back - a Hell of your making. What more could you possibly have in your arsenal that could scare us?

 I have watched this city bombarded twice by nations calling themselves civilized. In 1948, while you looked on apathetically, I saw women and children blown to smithereens, after we agreed to your request to internationalize the city.

It was a deadly combination that did the job - British officers, Arab gunners, and American-made cannon.

 And then the savage sacking of the Old City - the wilful slaughter, the wanton destruction of every synagogue and religious school, the desecration of Jewish cemeteries, the sale by a ghoulish government of tombstones for building materials, for poultry runs, army camps, even latrines.

And you never said a word.

You never breathed the slightest protest when the Jordanians shut off the holiest of our places, the Western Wall, in violation of the pledges they had made after the war - a war they waged, incidentally, against the decision of the UN.

Not a murmur came from you whenever the legionnaires in their spiked helmets casually opened fire upon our citizens from behind the walls. Your hearts bled when Berlin came under siege. You rushed your airlift "to save the gallant Berliners". But you did not send one ounce of food when Jews starved in besieged Jerusalem.

You thundered against the wall which the East Germans ran through the middle of the German capital - but not one peep out of you about that other wall, the one that tore through the heart of Jerusalem.

 And when that same thing happened 20 years later, and the Arabs unleashed a savage, unprovoked bombardment of the Holy City again, did any of you do anything?

The only time you came to life was when the city was at last re-united. Then you wrung your hands and spoke loftily of "justice" and the need for the "Christian" quality of turning the other cheek.

The truth - and you know it deep inside your gut - is that you would prefer the city to be destroyed rather than have it governed by Jews. No matter how diplomatically you phrase it, the age-old prejudices seep out of every word.

If our return to the city has tied your theology in knots, perhaps you had better re-examine your catechisms.

 After what we have been through, we are not passively going to accommodate ourselves to the twisted idea that we are to suffer eternal homelessness until we accept your saviour.

 For the first time since the year 70, there is now complete religious freedom for all in Jerusalem .

For the first time since the Romans put a torch to the Temple, everyone has equal rights (you prefer to have some more equal than others.)

We loathe the sword - but it was you who forced us to take it up.

We crave peace, but we are not going back to the peace of 1948 as you would like us to.

 We are home. It has a lovely sound for a nation you have willed to wander over the face of the globe. We are not leaving.

We are redeeming the pledge made by our forefathers:

Jerusalem is being rebuilt.

"Next year" and the year after, and after, and after, until the end of time - "in Jerusalem "!

Founder Editor
