"Hezbollah & Venezbollah Against America"

Tell me. Have we lost our will to survive and excel as a nation of liberty and exemplary moral values? Are we now a nation of blind sheep led by the blind shepherds? Why are there so many of us, Jews and Christians, who are allowing those who are intent on destroying our nation and Israel to go unopposed?  

The first and most fundamental role of our government is to defend our citizens against foreign enemies! This includes keeping a strong alliance with those nations that share our values and desire for common defense. Yet, for years, we have allowed Iran to keep supplying missiles to Hezbollah to attack Israel, and now we are closing our eyes to Iran supplying missiles to "Venezbollah" in our own backyard, who may soon be capable of hitting our cities with weapons of mass destruction - unless we stop them now!

CJUI, looking to 2012


In 2012, CJUI will continue to bring the true picture of Israel to Christians and Jews in America. We will continue to speak against those that falsely present Israel as an evil exploiter and persecutor of non-Jews.  We will denounce those who seek to limit our freedom of worship and expression in America. We will work to highlight any anti-Jewish/anti-Christian materials used at local public schools.  We will work with Jewish and Christian leaders to coordinate our actions in support of Israel and in defense of our Judeo-Christian values in America.

 

Please join us, as we need 

many more volunteers to help us! 

"The Palestinians’ claim that they are an ancient and indigenous people fails to stand up to historic scrutiny."

Palestinians
Eli E. Hertz

“Repeat a lie often enough and people will begin to believe it.”
Nazi propaganda master Joseph Goebbels

There is no age-old Palestinian people. Most so-called Palestinians are relative newcomers to the Land of Israel

 

Like a mantra, Arabs repeatedly claim that the Palestinians are a native people. The concept of a ‘Stateless Palestinian people’ is not based on fact. It is a fabrication.

Palestinian Arabs cast themselves as a native people in “Palestine” – like the Aborigines in Australia or Native Americans in America. They portray the Jews as European imperialists and colonizers. This is simply untrue.        (Read entire article  here..)

Call-to-Action: Support UN Transparency, Accountability and Reform Act of 2011 (H.R.2829)

The United Nations Transparency, Accountability, and Reform Act of 2011 (H.R.2829) is now before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. The bill limits U.S. funding of UN and aid to the Palestinian Authority, in light of the upcoming Palestinian unilateral statehood action at the UN.  

 

Call your House Representatives in support of this bill.


See a list of current co-sponsors

 

The bill prohibits U.S. funding to UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency), which engages in anti-Israel propaganda. It withholds U.S. funding of the UN's Durban meetings that have been used to advance an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, anti-Western, anti-freedom agenda.  And it places conditions on the U.S. financial contribution to the IAEA (UN's International Atomic Energy Agency) to ensure that state sponsors of terrorism, such as Iran and Syria, do not receive such assistance.

Young Arab Woman's Life
Saved by Israeli Doctors
When a young Arab mother's life was at risk after giving birth in a Palestinian Authority hospital, the Arab doctors and her parents decided to transport her to an Israeli hospital, where the Israeli doctors immediately operated on her to save her life!!  

This is the true picture of Israel, a nation dedicated to saving every human life, whether Jewish or Arab!  Israel is the champion of human rights in the Middle East.  


Read the complete article on Arutz Sheva, "Arab Woman Who Gave Birth Saved in Israel"

     

We are absolutely outraged when anti-Zionists falsely accuse Israel as an apartheid occupier of the Arab Palestinians. Israel is dedicated to saving lives; Hamas and Hezbollah, backed up by Syria and Iran, are dedicated to wiping Israel off the map.

It is truly ironic that those who accuse Israel of "apartheid policy" are themselves the champion of human rights violations and apartheid laws!

Valuing every person, regardless of gender, race, nationality, or faith is a foundational Judeo-Christian value that is protected by law in America and Israel. This defines who we are as nations. It differentiates us from many other nations of the world, where many of their citizens receive only limited rights, privilege, or protection, because of their gender or faith.

Rabbi Akiva was quoted as saying that "Love your neighbors as yourself" [Leviticus 19:18] is "the major tenet of the Torah."  Lev. 19:34 further states: "The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I the LORD am your God."

 

Likewise Jesus is quoted in Mark 12:28-29: "One of the teachers of the law came and...asked [Jesus], 'Of all the commandments, which one is the most important?' Jesus answered, 'The most important one is this: Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.'"

 

This is the foundation of our Judeo-Christian values. Judaism does not teach Jews to go out and kill those who do not follow Judaism. Nor did Jesus. He taught His followers to love others, even love their enemies, and to do good to them that hate them.
A New Poll on American Jews,
Israel, and Threat of Islam



A new poll conducted for Secure America Now  

shows a growing concern among American Jews over radical Islam's threat to Israel and America   

 

Are Jews in America becoming more "conservative"? Perhaps not socially, but on the subject of the Islamic threat to Israel and America, they find themselves increasingly at odds with "liberal" voters in America.   

 

In a recent poll of 600 likely American Jewish voters, conducted for Secure America Now, Jewish voters expressed a growing concern about Israel being seriously threatened by Arab nations and Iran. (To download more information on the poll, click here.) This same increasing apprehension is shared by "conservative" voters in America who overwhelmingly support Israel, while "liberal" voters are least supportive  of Israel. 

 

Here are 10 key results from the poll:  


1.    Are you concerned about Israel being threatened by Arab nations and Iran that want to destroy Israel?


2. If sanctions against Iran fail, and Israel were to attack Iran to stop them from developing a nuclear weapon, would this be an act of self defense?

Israel: A Normal Country
Hostility to the Jews has been a stain on the Western world's honor for centuries.
Posted in Wall Street Journal/Opinion
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704862404575351430715581608.html


The following statement has been signed by Jose Maria Aznar, David Trimble, John R. Bolton, Alejandro Toledo, Marcello Pera, Andrew Roberts, Fiamma Nirenstein, George Weigel, Robert F. Agostinelli and Carlos Bustelo:

Israel is a Western democracy and a normal country. Nonetheless, Israel has faced abnormal circumstances since its inception. In fact, Israel is the only Western democracy whose existence has been questioned by force, and whose legitimacy is still being questioned independently of its actions.

The recent flotilla crisis in the Mediterranean provided yet another occasion for Israel's detractors to renew their frenzied campaign. It was so even before the facts of that tragic incident had come to light. Eyes were blind to the reasons why Israel had to respond to the Gaza flotilla's clear provocation.

Because we believe Israel is subjected to unfair treatment, and are convinced that defending Israel means defending the values that made and sustain our Western civilization, we have decided to launch the Friends of Israel Initiative. Our goal is to bring reason and decency back to the discussion about Israel. We are an eclectic group, coming from different countries and holding different opinions on a range of issues. It goes without saying that we do not speak for the State of Israel and we do not defend every course of action that it decides upon. We are united, however, by the following beliefs, principles and aims: <continue...>

Yesha Leaders Write UN,
‘Bible Records Israel as Jewish Land’

IsraelNationalNews.com
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
May 4, 2011

A letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon from Yesha Leaders explains that the Bible, the Quran, and international agreements document Israel as being the Land of the Jewish People.

The signatories threatened to sue Ban if he continues “to ignore the historical and legal facts enclosed in this letter and continues with the present unjust and illegal policies of the United Nations.”

Citing the Bible as “recording for all time the awarding of the Land of Israel to the forefathers of the Jewish People by the Creator of the world,” the letter tell Ban it gives him the “opportunity to correct the deviation of the nations from international law in accordance with the responsibilities of your position and thus obviate the measures undoubtedly to be inflicted on those who act contrary to the Covenant of the Almighty with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”   <continue...>

How Much Land is Enough?
by Ruth R. Wisse

Before you begin reading this, please have before you on screen, paper, or wall, a reliable full-scale map of the Middle East, one stretching from Morocco to Afghanistan, from the Caspian Sea to the Gulf of Aden. You will note that the territory covering 5.25 million miles belongs to states of the Arab League—18 independent Arab states and three part-Arab Muslim states, Mauritania, Somalia, and Djibouti. There is one holdout in that hegemony: Along the Mediterranean, south of Lebanon, east of Egypt, and west of Jordan, is the 8,000 square mile Jewish state of Israel—the only Jewish homeland that ever was and ever will be.

Israel's Right to Build in Jerusalem

Jerusalem is Israel’s Eternal Capital....
Biblically, Historically & Politically

 For over 3,000 years, no nations or empires but Israel have had their capital in Jerusalem.

 The Bible mentions the name “Jerusalem” nearly 800 times; but not once is it mentioned in the Qur’an.

 The U.S. House in 1990 and the Senate in 1995 passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act recognizing Jerusalem as the spiritual center of Judaism and the undivided capital of Israel, where persons of all religious faiths are guaranteed full access to holy sites. This Act further authorized the United States to move its Embassy to Jerusalem.

  Israel has the sovereign right, like any democratic nation, to allow the building of new houses for its residents anywhere, including all of Jerusalem.

Surrendering to Anti-Israelism

 

Posted By Richard Baehr On March 21, 2011 @ 12:15 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

 

Pressure from the political left has shaken the pro-Israel consensus that has historically existed within the American Jewish community.  This consensus has been attacked by such “luminaries” as former New Republic editor Peter Beinart for requiring progressive Jews, especially younger and generally less affiliated Jews, to “check their values at the door” when it comes to Israel.  At the same time, the pro-Israel consensus has also had to confront the assault from Jewish or Jewish-affiliated activist groups from the burgeoning BDS (boycotts, divestment, and sanctions) movement against Israel. In essence, the pro-Israel consensus has come under attack from both the soft and hard left.      <continue.....>



The Munich Three Find Their Target: Israel


Posted By Kenneth Levin On April 27, 2011 @ 12:00 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

 

In 1938, the leaders of Britain, France and Germany met in Munich to decide the fate of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was not invited. The three conferees agreed to strip the targeted nation of the Sudetenland, whose population consisted largely of ethnic Germans, and transfer that territory to German control. This deprived the victim state not simply of land but of those areas – mountainous, fortifiable - necessary for Czechoslovakia to be able to defend itself.

 

Today, the same three nations are doing the same vis-a-vis Israel.       <continue.....>

 The Ten Commandments of Arab Myths

Shalom! In a previous article, I talked about mythomaniacs and their ability to turn Arab myths into facts and Israeli facts into myths. I will be explaining some of the more common myths in the articles that follow. I want to summarize them in this preview article which I call, “The Ten Commandments of Arab Myths.”

1.  The “Palestinian people” have an historic connection to the land.

This is very interesting since there is no such thing as a “Palestinian people.” When the Romans changed the name of Israel to Palestine, the people living there at the time were Jews, not Arabs. If there had been a Palestinian people, which there never was, it would have been Jews. <continue...>

AMERICAN THINKER
Taqiyya for Kids
By Janet Tassel
January 15, 2012

It was the first week in October in Newton, an upscale suburb of Boston, and Tony Pagliuso's daughter, a sophomore at Newton South High School, was visibly disturbed. When Tony asked her the problem, she showed him a passage from the chapter she was assigned in her World History Class. It was a chapter called "Women, an Essay," from a supplemental text called The Arab World Notebook. In a paragraph devoted to women "in the struggle for independence from colonial powers," we find:

Over the past four decades, women have been active in the Palestinian resistance movement. Several hundred have been imprisoned, tortured, and killed by Israeli occupation forces since the latest uprising, "intifada," in the Israeli occupied territories.

Pagliuso assured his daughter that this was "total propaganda," and took the matter up with the young teacher, a Miss Jessica Engel, who couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. The material had been "vetted" and was deemed "appropriate," she said, "and would stay in the curriculum. After all, she continued, the head of the history department had gotten this material at an outreach workshop of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard!

        ZOA Files Complaint Against
Rutgers With Office For Civil Rights Because Of Hostile Environment For Jewish Students

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) today filed a complaint against Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights because of a hostile anti-Semitic campus environment.  The complaint, based on troubling reports from Jewish students, describes in detail the anti-Semitic harassment, intimidation and discrimination that Jewish students have been subjected to at Rutgers, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including the following:

  • A Jewish student named John Doe (a pseudonym) was subjected to murderous threats made against him by other students on Facebook – to “shut him up” by “beating him with a crowbar,” and to “skin him alive.”      <continue....>

The first months of 2011 have confirmed Italy’s status as one of Iran’s biggest European trade partners, all while the ayatollahs pursue the means to perpetuate a second Holocaust. Rome is doing business as usual with the greatest totalitarian threat to international peace and security since the defeats of Soviet communism and Nazi fascism, providing a lifeline to an Iranian regime that is cruel at home, sponsors terror abroad and preaches anti-Jewish revolt.

Meanwhile, a murky wave of anti-Israel zeal is also growing at an alarming rate in Italy. “The old anti-Jewish libels are now aimed at the State of Israel”, says Stefano Gatti, one of the top researchers at the Center for Documentation in Milan.    <continue....>

Israel Palestinian Conflict:
The Truth About the West Bank




Palestine,
Insights from History

Following is a revealing account by Hussein ibn-Ali, Sherif of Mecca.  Hussein wrote in Mecca's daily newspaper, Al Qibla, in 1918,

"The resources of the country are still virgin soil and will be developed by the Jewish immigrants. One of the most amazing things until recent times was that the Palestinian used to leave his country, wandering over the high seas in every direction. His native soil could not retain a hold on him.... At the same time, we have seen the Jews from foreign countries streaming to Palestine from Russia, Germany, Austria, Spain, and America. The cause of causes could not escape those who had a gift of deeper insight. They knew that the country was for its original sons [abna'ihi-l-asliyin], for all their differences, a sacred and beloved homeland. The return of these exiles [jaliya] to their homeland will prove materially and spiritually an experimental school for their brethren who are with them in the fields, factories, trades and all things connected to the land." 1 (Underline and emphasis mine)

Then on January 3, 1919, Emir Feisal, leader of the Arab movement and son of Hussein signed an agreement with Dr. Chaim Weizmann, head of the Zionist Commission to Palestine.

Agreement Between Emir Feisal Husseini and Dr. Weizman

His Royal Highness the Emir FEISAL, representing and acting on behalf of the Arab Kingdom of Hedjaz, and Dr. CHAIM WIEZMANN, representing and acting on behalf of the Zionist Organization.

mindful of the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people, and realising that the surest means of working out the consumation of their national aspirations is through the closest possible collaboration in the development of the Arab State and Palestine, and being desirous further of confirming the good understanding which exists between them, have agreed upon the following Articles;-  <continue>

The Palestinian Refugees
Why are the Palestinian refugees
under a separate UN agency?

Click on the picture for a slide presentation

The U.N.'s universal definition of a refugee:
"Any person who has been forced to abandon his permanent home in his natural habitat since time immemorial will be considered a refugee".

In only one instance has this definition been expanded upon, through the pressure of the Arab League. The broadened definition is as follows: "Every Arab who left Palestine-the Land of Israel in 1948, who had lived there for two years, will also be considered a refugee he and his descendants ". Why did the Arab countries bother to expand this definition?  Because most of the Arabs calling themselves "Palestinians" immigrated to Palestine- Israel during the British mandate, particularly during WWII and following; the years in which the British government prevented Jews from reaching their homeland, from saving their lives.  <Read more>


Hebron's Jewish Quarter, 1862

What are Israel's
Secure and Defensible Border
s?
In President Obama’s speech on May 19, he articulated his conviction that, in order for peace to move forward between Israel and the Palestinians, Israel would need to re-engage in negotiations recognizing the 1967 lines as the basis for determining the future borders of a Palestinian state.

“We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.  The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their full potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state.”  (Barak Obama, May 19, 2011)

What are the 1967 lines that President Obama is referring to? The 1967 lines were the armistice lines formed in 1949 that halted the Arab/Israel war begun in 1948  when five Arab nations invaded the newly formed state of Israel determined to destroy her. Following this aggression, Jordan occupied the area west of the Jordan River that became known as the West Bank. This is the area historically known as Judea and Samaria. The lines drawn for the cessation of this war, known as the Green Line, is the boundary that existed until the beginning of the Six Day War in 1967. From its inception, it was understood that the Green Line was to be temporary until secure boundaries could be negotiated.

In his speech, President Obama refers to “secure and recognized borders”.  It is important to know what territory Israel needs in order to have secure borders.  In fact, her very existence depends on it.   

The following video provides information for determining what would constitute secure borders for Israel.

Israel’s Requirement for Defensible Borders

by Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror


Military-Strategic Aspects of West Bank Topography for Israel’s Defense

Due to its location and topography, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) has played a vital role in Israel’s national security since it was captured by the IDF in 1967. The West Bank is relatively small, covering 2,123 square miles (5,500 square kilometers), but it is situated immediately adjacent the Israeli coastal plain where more than 70 percent of Israel’s population and 80 percent of industrial capacity are located. Moreover, the West Bank is comprised largely of a north south mountain ridge that dominates vital Israeli infrastructure along the coast, including Israel’s international airport, high-tech companies, and most of the major highways connecting Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Rainwater flows down the slopes of this mountain ridge into underground aquifers in western Samaria that provide Israel with approximately 30 percent of its water supply.

Do you know the
facts about Hamas?



Quoted from the Hamas Covenant:

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

The Hamas Covenant
The following is an excerpt from the Hamas Covenant. The covenant is important to read in order to fully understand their objectives.

The full Covenant can be read <here>

Article Eleven:
The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that. Palestine is an Islamic Waqf land consecrated for Moslem generations until Judgement Day. This being so, who could claim to have the right to represent Moslem generations till Judgement Day?

This is the law governing the land of Palestine in the Islamic Sharia (law) and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force, because during the times of (Islamic) conquests, the Moslems consecrated these lands to Moslem generations till the Day of Judgement.
