"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!
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!

(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.
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.
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
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?
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...>

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

fate of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was not invited. The three
conferees
agreed to strip the targeted nation of the Sudetenland, whose
population

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...>

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! (Continue...)

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.

the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing

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

Hebron's Jewish Quarter, 1862
What are Israel's
Secure and Defensible Borders?
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.

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.
An Apartheid State? The demographics in
Israel in 2010 tell a
different story.

to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, the
population of Jews in Israel at the end of 2010 was 5,802,000; 75.4
percent of the total. The population of Arabs was1,573,000;
20.4% of the total. There were 320,000; 4.2%, who are not
registered as either Jew or Arab with the Interior Ministry’s
Population and Immigration Authority.
In
contrast, Abbas vows a very different demographic for a Palestinian

"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 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.
