"For reasons that remain unclear, the Obama administration has decided
to abandon the understandings about settlements reached by the
previous administration with the Israeli government. We may be
abandoning the deal now, but we cannot rewrite history and make
believe it did not exist."

For 3 Years we are sitting free, talking, theorizing, maybe somone
else can do the job...while our Brother Gilad is not. I care about
Neda and I care about Iran, but please spend your time focusing on
your family first...Keep writing to the ICRC, they make it a point to
blast Israel for Human Rights while they visit Palestinians
everywhere, and mention Gilad as a blurb in the news to make us happy.

And this week, Jews in the News:

Crown Heights - Two Jewish women were assaulted Friday night 2
seperate incidences - link on main page, and cops refused to make a
report. This is becoming more rampant in CH.

Crown Heights - While sustatining wounds to his face a Jew chased an
assaulter only to get handcuffed while being hospitalized for his
injuries.

Staten Island, NY - Judge Canned Parks Crew for Nazi Skit

Roundhay, England - Jews Shocked after Synagogue Doors, Locks Stuffed with Pork

Washington - Nixon in 1973: Anti-Semitism It's Going to Happen in
America if These Jews Don't Start Behaving - This is not new news, and
actions speak louder than words...And quite frankly, it is happening
in America.

Detroit, MI - At Age 88, Man Being Investigated for WWII Atrocities Against Jews

Residents of Polish town try to save 'Hitler's tree'

Santa Barbara, CA - Panel Clears Professor in Israeli-Nazi Comparison.
This is a disaster, in a world where tolerant speech ends up being not
only hateful but leads to incitement, teachers need to practice more
responsibility with their academic freedom.

G8 tells Israel: Stop building in all settlements

UK Jewish school admissions policy is racist, court rules, cannot
discriminate if mother is NOT Jewish: I dont know how a Judge can
decide how our religion works. If you want to be Jewish than follow
the Jewish religion, if you're not, than your merely following your
own religion. Oh! I have an idea; MARRY JEWISH!
Wonder what would happen in a Muslim school.


Shabbat Shalom!

"And so, the way to consider the immeasurable impact of the Holocaust on Israel is not to ask whether the state would exist otherwise.
It is, at least in one sense, to imagine how even more vibrant Israel would be if millions upon millions had not been denied a chance to know it." Senator Menendez - Powerful speech to our President.


Thanks for all those who wrote the ICRC! This is the latest headlines
So keep it going, it WORKS.
TODAY is National Day To Buy Israeli Products!
Tomorrow, Hooligans will be going into many stores which support Israel and deshelving Israeli products, TODAY please show your support by going to these places, including Trader Joes to show support for their stance! ...

And This week, Jews In the News:
Jihad Watch: Carter will ask Obama to remove Hamas from terror list This peaceful man has made it a point to reward terror! What happened to Gilad? Why has he not ask HAMAS to see GILAD? He is turning the tables on our country and asking us to take them off terror list?!
Call 800-550-3560 to voice your concerns!
Long Island, NY - Anti-Semitic Graffiti at Dix Hills Park
Lansing, MI - School Discriminated Against Jewish Students by Scheduling Games on Sabbath

U.S. intelligence 'unequivocally opposed' to parole for Pollard
Many demands are made on Israel, but none on Israel's enemies.
Are we that desperate for an answer for the world's problems that we can pinpoint it to settlements? Are we that convinced that if there were no settlements Freedom would Reign across the Arab countries and terrorism would stop? Are you seriously implying that the reason women have no rights in the UAE is because of settlements?!
Are you kidding me?
Shabbat Shalom!

Moment of Activism for you People: Stop the Bomb, Anti Boycott at Trader Joes

Please sign, takes a minute!

http://de.stopthebomb.net/en/start/germany/sign-now.html#c324

Recieved this Re TRADER JOES:

Greetings StandWithUs Activists,

A group of anti-Israel protesters are apparently trying to boycott Trader
Joe
's for selling Israeli products. (See "Don't Buy Into
Apartheid<http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=86106513889>"
and the YouTube clips and comments on the page.) The organizers, a group
calling itself "Quit Palestine http://www.facebook.com/l/;<http://www.quitpalestine.org/dbia/>," is
calling for stores to "cleanse their shelves of products that support
occupation and apartheid" and offering their supporters "resources for [image:
http://www.facebook.com/l/;http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs037.snc1/4337_204337230346_616965346_7139081_3776014_n.jpg]you
to create disencentives for stores to stock Israeli products."



According to blogger Bluetruth, one of the retailers targeted in this
campaign is Trader Joe's, which carries many Israeli-made products. Trader
Joe's has resisted the call to change its policies, and so the
boycott-divestment-sanctions (BDS) guys have called for a "de-shelving" of
Trader Joe's from Israeli products this Saturday, June 20. This creates an
opportunity for friends of Israel to express their support while also
shopping for groceries.



You can help! Here's what Bluetruth suggests:



Go to your local Trader Joe's http://www.facebook.com/l/;<http://www.traderjoes.com/locations.asp> and
do three things on June 20 (or, if you are shomer Shabbat, on June 19):

1. Buy a whole bunch of Israeli products (if they are off the shelf, maybe
someone else read this and bought the entire stock-- so go to the store
manager and tell him/her they need to buy more!)

2. Tell the store manager to keep stocking these products because you really
like them!

3. Also tell the store manager that anti-Israel groups have declared June 20
as a "National Day to De-Shelve Israeli Products" so they can be aware of
potential efforts to shoplift, deface or otherwise vandalize these products

Paris, France - Trial of Gang That Killed Jew Suspended after Shoes Thrown at Halimi's attorney. Why is this still behind closed doors?
 
Carter in his loving and peaceful ideology has said this week that Hamas must be engaged by Israel for a peaceful solution to come about. PA, HAMAS theyre all the same to me, we are sitting with everyone, which is basically no one. The Palestinians are unfortutaley unable to sit with themselves or with others...in fact, most Israeli Arabs in East Jerusalem opted to stay Israeli citizens then become PA citizens when questioned.
 
Report: Hizbullah terrorists caught in Baku with Iranian passports seeking to blow up Israeli Embassy and other Israeli targets.
 
Washington gunman praised as 'a modern hero of our race!' This and other praises on sites dedicated to Jew Bashing. As I'm sure everyone's aware, this is quite interesting and disturbing. On one hand he hates Jews, but what drove him to this point was apparently that 78% of Jews voted for Obama...
 
My analysis of our dire Israel situation, which only seems to be getting worse, is that the Jewish Establishment is waiting to see the results of Obama's speech before getting excited. They are waiting to see the reaction of the Israeli government and how enforceable the dictates of our President will end up being. I know I keep harboring on this point, but our PC leaders' silence has so far done us no good. Settlers removed from Gaza are still in limbo, and our Capital is being negotiated. I remember when our leadership waited to say something back when Israel gave away Gaza, but by then the fire was out of control, and it was impossible to put out.
The same thing is happening now. Our leaders are waiting for a fire, rather than putting it out before it gets out of control. Baseless strategy; it holds possible embarrassment and backlash at bey, but look where we are now, and watch as more and more is being said by our President and Hillary as we just look on while no one says a word. Can someone shut them? Now? Silence, so far has ended in compliance.
 
17,000 books have been published in Israel this year, that is more than all the Arab Countries - COMBINED!!!:)

WEEK IN REVIEW: YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR PEOPLE, Stay Informed

 
For all those that emailed the International Red Cross to visit Gilad Schalit - Thanks. The response I received is I'm sure the same as you have, I posted it at the end of this email. Remember he is right now being held by Terrorists.
 
"I am proud" - Ilam Halimi's Murderer in Court
 
At the same time, Israelis must acknowledge that just as Israel's right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine's. The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop. Hussein Obama's Speech.
MY Commentary: Mexico has told America that in order to achieve peace, America will not be able to create settlements in New York because its an obstacle to peace as it denies Mexico's right to exist.
 
America will align our policies with those who pursue peace, and say in public what we say in private to Israelis and Palestinians and Arabs. We cannot impose peace. But privately, many Muslims recognize that Israel will not go away. Likewise, many Israelis recognize the need for a Palestinian state. It is time for us to act on what everyone knows to be true. Hussein Obama's Speech.
MY Commentary: We cannot impose peace ON HAMAS or IRAN or the PA or HIZBULLAH, but we can impose peace on ISRAEL. Therefore, we will try to get rid of the hardline Bibi government and replace it with a dovish government while we invite the left wing HAMAS government to the table because of their legitimate pursuits to a homeland just like Jews from the Holocaust. (although in both cases Jews were the ones that were killed, and not for land (ex. Gaza).
 
This week Jews in the news...
 
US may reduce support for Israel in the UN and not veto critisizm's of the Nazi State of Israel. If you repeat a lie long enough, it will ultimately end up being believed.

Many of you are confused about Hussein Obama's speech. Well, first I would like to thank the 75% of Jews who voted for this man.
The irony is that it's the Republicans and Christian Right who understand the threat to the Jew more than the Jew himself. For some reason they are able to see good and bad, while Jews see Republican and Democrat. For some reason its the Jew that scared to align himself with a man like Kahane, who cared about his fellow Jew,  while forgiving Obama for every radical, socialist, and violent person with whom he has been associated.
 
Our President is seeking enemy friends at the expense of Israel's security. This is not a secret anymore. He is legitmazing all those years of murder by Hamas as a pursuit to a homeland. He has made it clear that all thats demanded from the PA and Hamas is to stop killing Israeli's and in return they will get land - they dont have to concede anything. (ex. Gaza). Because this is the only thing Obama is requiring from the PA, he finds it easier to deal with Hamas than with our "hardline" "hawkish" "rightwing" "conservative" government, who will have to concede land. Our govt was voted by the Israeli people - just like Hamas was voted in by their suicide minded people. Basically, if we dont give them land, they are justified to kill.
 
I would like to make it clear, the Jewish Establishment has completely let us down. The fact that Jews are scared to say outright that Jerusalem is ours, is a result of years of listening to lies and to not standing up or believing in your own religion. The West thought of political correctness has made Jewish leaders quiet to the extent that the lies on the Arab side are believed to be true.
 
Just take note that the PA movement has never cared about political correctness, has never practiced it, and has never given in. Because of this, half of Israel is on the table, as is Jerusalem. There is nothing wrong with being Jewish and proud and knowing and standing up for Yerushalayim. Sometimes we can learn from our enemies regard.
 
Shabbat Shalom!
 
 
 
 Dear Madam/Sir,
Thank you for your messages of concern. On behalf of the International
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), I express our appreciation for your
humanitarian concern regarding Gilad Shalit and stress that we share your
concerns, and the concern of countless others in Israel and around the
world, for his safety and well-being.
The ICRC has tried by every means available to obtain information on Mr
Shalit's condition and to gain direct access to him. In its humanitarian
capacity, the ICRC took an active role immediately upon notification of the
capturing of Gilad Shalit on 25 June 2006, and since then, has never for a
moment allowed his case to drop from its agenda. The issue of ICRC access
to Gilad Shalit to ensure respect for his life and dignity and to transmit
news from his family is repeatedly brought up at high-level meetings
between the ICRC and the Hamas, both in Gaza and in Damascus. In addition,
we have been constantly reminding his captors of their obligations under
international humanitarian law.
The ICRC has made public its concerns regarding Mr Shalit's situation.
Statements by the ICRC's president and other senior officials can be found
on our website (in December 2008,
http://www.icrc.org/Web/Eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/israel-interview-111208; in
May 2008,
http://www.icrc.org/Web/Eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/israel-interview-300508; in
June 2007,
http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/htmlall/israel-interview-070607?opendocument
).
We have also been in contact with Mr Shalit's family. Both they and the
authorities have been kept informed of our actions. Last summer, Mr
Shalit's parents Noam and Aviva agreed to be interviewed for the ICRC
website
(http://www.icrc.org/Web/Eng/siteeng0.nsf/html/israel-interview-300808).
The ICRC will do everything in its power to gain access to Mr Shalit.
However, as in all such cases, the responsibility for Mr Shalit's treatment
and living conditions lies entirely with the people holding him. The
implementation and enforcement of international humanitarian law is
primarily the responsibility of parties to armed conflicts, be they States
or other entities.
From its headquarters in Geneva and through its different delegations in
the region and worldwide, the ICRC continues to follow up on any leads that
may present themselves with the hope of bringing to the family, friends and
supporters of Gilad Shalit the good news that they so desperately seek.
Yours sincerely,
Pierre Dorbes,
ICRC Deputy Head of Delegation
Israel, Occupied and Autonomous Territories
