"WE PROTEST": Open protest letter from Jewish bloggers against the abomination parade planned for today in the holy city of Jerusalem by a shameless populace.

WE PROTEST

We, the undersigned Jewish bloggers, hereby protest – in the strongest terms possible – the parading and glorification of an “alternative lifestyle”, one that is classified in the Holy Torah as an abomination, especially through the streets of the holy city of Jerusalem.

The Torah demands that we live by a certain code of sexual morality, and as such, we are forbidden from certain relationships that a moral society cannot tolerate.  These include incest, adultery, bestiality, and homosexuality.  All these are considered grave sins in Judaism and incur the punishment of Karet, or excision from the Jewish people.  An act performed with witnesses during the time of the Sanhedrin would incur an even worse consequence – namely, capital punishment.

And this is only on an individual level.  When the sin is committed on a societal level, it is much worse.  The Torah and our sages record how these acts were catalysts for both the Great Flood during Noah’s lifetime and the destruction of the Five Cities of the Plain.

As such, we consider any attempt to glorify acts that the Torah vehemently forbids by parading any such lifestyle through the streets with horror and utter disdain.  Such parades in New York and San Francisco would be bad enough, but through the streets of the Holy Land of Israel is a thousand-fold worse.  The Torah specifically warns us not to act in sexually abominable ways lest we be vomited out of the land.  One can only imagine how it is viewed in Heaven when people brazenly display to G-d how abominable one can be.  And if the Land of Israel cannot tolerate such acts of utter gall, all the more so in the holy city of Jerusalem, a city that is overwhelmingly religious.

We in no way wish to minimize the struggles in temptation some may have in this area and view with positivity those who have such inclinations and bravely overcome them.  But those are not the people irreverently parading through the streets with rainbow flags, who show utter contempt for the Holy Torah and all we hold dear.

We therefore vehemently protest the “Pride” Parade in Jerusalem and everywhere else in the world where they may occur.  We hope and pray that those who take part in such parades do a complete Teshuva for their actions, and may we see a rebuilt Jerusalem, speedily in our days, Amen.

Signed,

COMMENT:

Oh, and by the way, if you read, by accessing the various labels below,  some of the articles I wrote in past years about the manipulations and shenanigans of the New Israel Fund, which is actually a front for the Ford Foundation, Yemach Shemam, you will see how involved they are in subverting Israel, our Divine mission and religion. Just today an article appeared on A7, which reveals the NIF's sneaky tactics, how they use the LGBT for their own means.... and to think our People falls for their dirty tricks?.... This is all so sickening! Great that at least there is now some small push back against this disgrace. Let the ball roll!

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/249892

Enough already, let's get rid of these people! Once again, meddling of the Ford Foundation/ NIF, etc, in Israel. Certainly not what the media portrays!

What Do They Want to Achieve? The Tent City Protests

Terror victims' organization head Meir Indor's disturbing take on the housing protests in Israel. Is Netanyahu listening?

Meir Indor Over the past two weeks I have been combating disturbances in Israeli cities that aim to overthrow the government of Israel. Fortunately, participants in these disturbances have not been using guns or knives to hurt anyone. Their weapon of choice is rent money.
I have spent a lot of time visiting the tent cities that arose amid demands that the government see to lower rent and other concerns. What I have seen leads me to believe that the leaders aim not only to lower prices, but to bring down the Netanyahu administration—as they often say in their discussions, to recreate Tahrir Square.
Naturally, I would prefer that Tahrir Square stay in Cairo. The people of Egypt needed to change their government through mass protests because there were no real elections there. We Israelis, though, have elections on a regular basis. We did not assign this assortment of extremist political operatives and vacationing students the right to occupy private land, to block major intersections, and to speak and negotiate in our name. This is at best highly undemocratic.
On the other hand, having discovered who the lead protesters are, I am not surprised by their antidemocratic tendencies. The disturbances were initiated by Daphne Leef, an employee of the New Israel Fund, which is known for funding organizations that work to stigmatize Israel and the IDF, and to promote boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel.
Another leader is Stav Shafir, a self-avowed semi-anarchist in the employ of the news company Yediot Aharonot, which opposes Netanyahu and has been covering the protests nonstop.
Other prominent participants include Asaf Nadiv, who was convicted in 1989 of membership in the Trotskyite terrorist group Derech Hanitzotz; writer Anat Rosilio, who in December 2008 strongly opposed Operation Cast Lead against rocket fire from Gaza; Tzvika Besor, a self-described devotee of communist Dov Khenin; and more than a few other communist and anarchist activists.
The leaders are aided by teams of academics and operatives from fringe political organizations that coordinate protesters’ messages and see to the expulsion of opponents who make themselves heard.
In keeping with their politics, these activists genuinely want to lower the cost of living. This is a legitimate goal: prices are indeed too high. Unfortunately for them, their goal is complicated by their ideological opposition to a solution that permits private enterprise to make a profit in exchange for building housing, which is why they have readily dismissed Binyamin Netanyahu’s proposals.
The activists’ goal also is complicated by their own opposition to building housing for Israelis in the available open spaces. These same activists and organizations oppose action to put an end to illegal building for illegal immigrants in southern Tel Aviv. They oppose action by law enforcement to remove Arab and Bedouin squatters from land they have occupied in the Galilee and the northern Negev. Of course, they also oppose letting Jews live in Judea and Samaria. Because specific policies that they support artificially limit the amount of real estate available for housing Israelis, among other factors, housing prices are excessive.
Aside from the problem of housing, the campaign also serves as a way to pressure the prime minister. The same dynamic reigns here as in the debate over whether to release convicted terrorists from prison: organizations such as the New Israel Fund provide money for the protesters to protest or for the Schalit Task Force to demand the release of hundreds of murderers, like-minded Israeli media amplify the message and claim that the protestors represent a consensus position, and pressure is effectively brought to bear on the prime minister.
Today, virtually all political analysts agree that Ariel Sharon expelled the Jews of Gaza from their homes in order to bribe the Israeli media to downplay his legal troubles. He adopted the policies of the left, and the media left him alone.
Netanyahu is not under investigation for wrongdoing, but he knows that the same dynamic applies to him: if he enacts the platform on which he was elected, he will continue to be attacked. If he turns his back on the voters, he will be left in peace. Hopefully, Netanyahu will make the right choice.
(Last week, Arutz Sheva met Meir Indor at the tent city in Tel Aviv. He related what he heard from the protesters, and concluded that the protest is a radical leftist one.Video above.)

Angry about nationalist presence in 'their' protest, anarchists set fire to a tent and attack a cameraman.

Gil Ronen

 Anarchists attacked nationalists who joined the housing protest in Tel Aviv's Rothschild Ave. Thursday. The anarchists set fire to one of the tents pitched by the nationalists but the flames were quickly doused and no one was hurt. The tent was slightly damaged.

A photographer for Tatzpit who documented the arson was also attacked and his camera was damaged. He filed a complaint with the police.

The anarchists and other radical leftists have been harassing the nationalists since they arrived at the site Wednesday.  They have torn nationalist signs and shouted "racists out."

Nationalists fought back and a melee resulted. The nationalists also taunted the leftists, saying, "We thought the protest was not political."

There is copious evidence that the protest is organized and financed by the New Israel Fund. However, the protesters insist that they represent an authentic apolitical grassroots movement.

... But there is hope: this hostile effort by our enemies is backfiring: now 42 Knesset members acknowledge the one major logical solution to the housing problem: build in YESHA! And of course the other solution is to send the illegal African immigrants, AKA 'refugees', home, where they belong.

KNESSET PUSH TO BUILD IN YESHA 

 by GAVRIEL QUEENANN

IsraelNationalNews.com
Just hours after Israel's High Court ruled the government must destroy the community of Migron a group of 42 MKs petitioned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to solve Israel's 'housing crisis' by building in Judea and Samaria.

According to the petition, "to solve the housing shortage throughout the country, we, members of the Knesset, the undersigned, urge you to include, among other solutions taken by the government, housing for tens of thousands of citizens in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. "

"We are in days of protest over a housing shortage, and we, as a lobby, have something to say about it," MK Zeev Elkin said.

"Judea and Samaria has enormous potential to solve the housing problem. We turn here, named 42 ministers, deputy ministers and Knesset members who signed the appeal to the Prime Minister to act," Elkin added.

The petition was presented at a meeting of the Land of Israel Lobby and was also attended by Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman, the Minister of Science and Technology, Daniel Hershkowitz and Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin.

"Zionism is essentially a settler movement," Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said. "Without the Golan or the Negev, who knows what would happen to Israel. Since we returned here as a people, settlement was a sign of our way of returning to our country."

"We must show faith with those who settle Israel," MK Daniel Herskovitz said. "I was in Migron today and they tell me the verdict is that their community be destroyed by March. The Zionist movement does not uproot, it plants. It tore my heart, and I hope you find a way to avert the evil decree."
MK Yulia Shamalov-Berkovitz said, "Time to apply Israeli sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley."
Signatories included ministers Michael Eitan, Yuli Edelstein, Daniel Hershkowitz, Moshe Kahlon, Yossi Peled, and deputy ministers Danny Ayalon, Menachem Eliezer Moses, Leah Ness and Ayoub Kara, and numerous Knesset members from Kadima, Likud, Israel Our Home, Shas, National Union and the Jewish Home.

What a great con job: Western women regularly raped and impregnated by Arab Muslim men in the 'occupied territories'; help the barbarians at your own risk, Jew-hating little girl!

Arabs Harass Female 'Peace' Activists; Left Silences Victims

Tishrei 13, 5771, 21 September 10 07:47

by Gil Ronen

(Israelnationalnews.com) Two activists have exposed a disturbing phenomenon that they say is an open secret within the “peace camp”: female “peace” activists are routinely harassed and raped by the Arabs of Judea and Samaria with whom they have come to identify. They say the phenomenon has gotten worse lately and that many foreign women end up as wives of local Arabs against their will, but cannot escape their new homes.
Roni Aloni Sedovnik, a feminist activist, penned an article in News1 – an independent website run by respected investigative reporter Yoav Yitzchak – under the heading “The Left's Betrayal of Female Peace Activists Who were Sexually Assaulted.”

“A nauseous atrocity has been going on for a long time behind the scenes at the leftists' demonstration at Bil'in, Naalin and Sheikh Jarrah [Shimon HaTzaddik],” she writes. “A dark secret that threatens to smash the basic ideological values upon which the demand to end the occupation of the Territories rests.”
It turns out, she explains, that when female peace activists from Israel and abroad come out to Judea and Samaria and demonstrate against the Israeli “occupation,” they are assaulted sexually by the Arab men whom they have come to help. These are not isolated incidents, Aloni-Sedovnik stresses. Rather, this is an “ongoing and widespread” phenomenon that includes verbal and physical abuse. She accuses the 'peace' camp of purposely covering up the trend so as not to offend “the Palestinians and their heritage, which sees women as sexual objects.”
Media cover-up

Aloni-Sedovnik cites two specific cases which she has knowledge of – one is a case of rape and another is “severe sexual harassment.” The attackers in both cases, she stresses, were familiar with the victims and knew that they were “peace activists.”
The rape occurred several months ago in the village of Umm Salmona, near Bethlehem. The victim, an American activist, wanted to press charges but leftist activists put pressure on her not to do so, so as not to damage the struggle against the 'occupation.'
The second case involved an Israeli activist who took part in the demonstrations at Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem, where the High Court ruled that Jewish families may move into homes that they have owned for generations. This woman filed a complaint with the police but retracted it after “severe and unfair pressure” from the demonstrations' organizers, according to Aloni-Sedovnik. Furthermore, the organizers appealed to demonstrators to dress modestly when they come to the Arab neighborhoods and suggested that they wear head scarves.
Aloni-Sedovnik accuses the Israeli media of complicity in the cover-up.

“How is it that we do not hear the voice of the radical feminists who repeat, day and night, that occupation is occupation, and it does not matter if it is a nation that is doing the subjugation, or a man who is subjugating a woman?

"It appears that there is a gap between the radical-leftist feminist theory about the active resistance to the occupation of the Territories, and the stuttering self-annulment in the face of the violent conquest of women.”

The Umm Salmona case was reported in Haaretz as an attempted rape but does not seem to have made it beyond the blog pages.
Foreign women raped and subjugated
Earlier this year, a blogger and literature buff named Yehudah Bello, who writes in various venues about history and the theory of evolution, wrote a blog post with the striking title: “The Female Leftist Activists are Raped Day after Day, Night after Night.” Bello is no ultra-nationalist, and he supports the creation of a PA state – a fact which makes his claims all the more believable.

Most female leftist European activists, writes Bello, are brainwashed in their youth into hating Israel, and then sent directly into Judea and Samaria, without spending a single night in Tel Aviv, lest they see civilian Israeli society for themselves and find that they like it. They are whisked off to Shechem, Jenin and other PA towns and housed in Arab educational or cultural facilities, or private homes. Local Arab girls are sent to befriend them and they have no choice but to trust them.
It is is easy, explains Bello, “to carry out a sexual crime against a foreign girl, in her first days away from her family, in a place where no police have ever visited. And this is what happens, and has happened.”

"I was told of such rape cases by women who are not Jewish: a female European leftist activist, a female Red Cross volunteer and a young Arab woman from Yafo,” he says. He says that he met these women when he carried out IDF reserve duty, and met them afterward as well. “They told me what goes on there, in the Palestinian villages, far from any prying eye.”

"These are not just cases of rape carried out to satisfy lust,” he writes. “Usually, they are carried out systematically in order to make the girl pregnant and then take her as a wife – after she converts to Islam, of course. We know about this system from the stories of women who underwent a similar process within Israel and escaped to Europe. But it is hard to escape from the Palestinian territories. Sometimes these women – some of whom are no longer young – are never allowed to leave their homes unaccompanied, in order to forestall their escape.”
If someone were to compare the list of foreign female activists who enter Judea and Samaria to the list of those who leave, Bello claims, the magnitude of the phenomenon would be proven. “Everyone knows about it, but no one dares talk about it. The Palestinians have been turned into martyrs. In the Middle Eastern television channels, IDF soldiers are represented as the brutal rapists, who rape Palestinian women.”
New Israel Fund involvement

The reports by Aloni-Sedovnik and Bello are of particular interest because feminist groups have been spearheading leftist activism in Israel for many years. According to Gila Svirsky, the former director of the New Israel Fund in Israel and founder of NIF-sponsored Women's Coalition for Peace, “women’s peace organizations, known collectively as the Israeli women’s peace movement, became the most vibrant and persistent part of the peace camp in Israel.” These groups espouse an ideology which equates militarism (by Israelis) with male domination of women. Far from being a fringe element, leftist-feminists of this ilk are a dominant force in the Israeli academic world, the press, the Knesset and the judicial system.

Knesset Subcommittee will Investigate New Israel Fund

Shevat 19, 5770, 03 February 10 06:41

by Gil Ronen

(Israelnationalnews.com) The Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee voted Wednesday to appoint a special subcommittee to inquire into the matter of contributions to Israeli NGOs from foreign governments and organizations. The decision comes after  research by the Im Tirtzu movement, which found that the New Israel Fund finances most of the Israeli NGOs which testified against Israel in the Goldstone Committee.
The nationalist members in the committee voted in favor of Committee Chairman David Rotem's motion for establishing the subcommittee. MKs Danny Danon, Tzipi Hotobeli and Carmel Shama of Likud were joined by Michael Ben Ari (National Union) and Uri Makleb (United Torah Judaism). Shlomo Mula and Yisrael Hasson of Kadima voted against the motion, as did Dov Chenin (Hadash) and Taleb A-Sana (Raam-Taal).
MK Danny Danon said that "the committee will have to act swiftly in order to remove the strategic threat that the New Israel Fund poses to Israel."
MK Zevulun Orlev, who is usually moderate in his choice of words, reacted angrily to claims by left-wing MKs that the committee was an act of persecution, saying: "Where are all the Zionist movements of yore? Where is HaShomer HaTzair? From a movement of settlers, of exalted commanders, you have turned into informers, snitchers."
The New Israel Fund's Israel office is headed by former Meretz MK Naomi Chazan.
Im Tirtzu is jubilant
The Im Tirtzu movement, which initiated the campaign which led to the inquiry, was jubilant. It said it would now end its advertising and media campaign. "Today is a day of rejoicing for all of the IDF's officers and soldiers who were hounded by the New Israel Fund," the group stated.
"We express our support for the dramatic decision by the Constitution Committee to establish a committee that will investigate the New Israel Fund's organizations," it added. "We proved after a tough David vs. Goliath battle that sometimes David wins, too. In Israel of 2010, it turns out that a small group of students and reservists can successfully remove the mask from a fund with an annual turnover of dozens of millions of dollars, which wound up in the hands that are the living spirit behind the Goldstone report." 
Ronen Shoval, Chairman of Im Tirtzu, told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew service that further research has revealed that Judge Richard Goldstone was patently unsuited to head the UN investigation against Israel in the first place, because he himself is a member of virulently anti-Israeli organizations.
"To our great surprise," Shoval said, "we found that three organizations that Goldstone is a member of are patently anti-Israeli ones."
All roads lead to Ford Foundation
One such organization is the International Center for Transitional Justice, which accuses Israel in its website of grave violations of international law, including 'extrajudicial executions, prolonged administrative detention, torture, forced displacement (often repeated), extensive property confiscation and destruction, movement restrictions, and collective punishment, much of this within the framework of a four-decade-long occupation.'" 
Goldstone has been a member of the ICTJ's Board of Directors since 2004. Shoval added that Goldstone is a signatory on a document issued by ICTJ six months before he was appointed to head the famous UN committee of inquiry, in which the ICTJ expresses "shock at the crimes against civilians" in Operation Cast Lead. The group received $7.5 million from the Ford Foundation in 2006-7. 
In addition, Shoval charged, Goldstone is a member of the Board of Directors of Physicians for Human Rights, which accused Israel of war crimes before the Goldstone Report was issued. It, too, is funded by the Ford Foundation.
As exposed by Professor Gerald Steinberg of NGO Monitor, Goldstone was also a member of the Board of Directors of a third group, Human Rights Watch as late as July 2008. The organization accused Israel of war crimes well before the Goldstone Commission was appointed. HRW also receives hundreds of thousands of dollars annually from the Ford Foundation.
Shoval explained that the research shows that Goldstone has been working for organizations funded by the Ford Foundation, as is the New Israel Fund, but this did not prevent him from extensively quoting, in his report,  organizations funded by the same Ford Foundation.

UPDATE:

Mainstream Media News Blackout on New Israel Fund Inquiry

Shevat 20, 5770, 04 February 10 06:06

by Gil Ronen

(Israelnationalnews.com) It was a short, sweet victory: a small grassroots movement of students and IDF reservists, Im Tirtzu, launched a savvy and aggressive campaign against the New Israel Fund, for its support of NGOs that besmirched Israel and were quoted in the Goldstone report. Aided by information from Prof. Gerald Steinberg's NGO Monitor, Im Tirtzu exposed the fact that the NIF receives much of its money from the Ford Foundation – which also aids vehemently anti-Israeli Arab groups – and disburses millions of dollars annually to Israeli groups that accuse the IDF of war crimes and support anti-Israel campaigns abroad.
The Im Tirtzu campaign began with an extensive report on their findings in Friday's Maariv newspaper, by prominent journalist Ben Caspit. Apparently knowing in advance that the rest of Israel's media outlets would try to suppress the news, Im Tirtzu bought advertisements that rammed its message across for four straight days this week. The campaign, which could not be ignored, caused a frenzy and by day's end Wednesday Im Tirzu declared victory: a Knesset debate was held and a subcommittee of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee was created to investigate their claims.
However, Israelis who tuned in to the Wednesday evening newscasts on Channels 2 and 10 – the only commercial television channels with news programs – saw and heard nothing about the event. The parliamentary vote on creating the subcommittee was not even mentioned verbally in either channel's newscast. Mabat, the news program of state-run Channel 1, covered the public storm and parliamentary vote with a short item, 22 minutes into the newscast.
While Maariv's Caspit and some pundits on the newspaper's website supported Im Tirtzu, other columnists in Maariv and elsewhere attacked Im Tirtzu and the journalists who supported it, calling it an “extreme right-wing group” and accusing it of using Nazi-type propaganda against the NIF's chairwoman, Naomi Chazan, because its advertisements featured a caricature of her with a horn on her forehead, charging at the Israeli flag. The caricature was based on a play of words on the Hebrew word keren which means both 'horn' and 'fund'.
Im Tirtzu's chairman Ronen Shoval said in an e-mail message to supporters Wednesday that the New Israel Fund had threatened to sue news outlets that carried stories attacking it and that Im Tirtzu had also received threatening messages.

2/7/10 ADDENDUM:

THE NIF AND THE NEXT WAR By CAROLINE GLICK Jerusalem Post forwarded with commentary by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator

The history of WW2 speaks at length about Adolph Hitler’s efforts to seed subversives to cripple the Free World’s efforts to fight the Nazi Conquest.

Similarly, Josef Stalin’s Communists had their subversive Fifth Column to weaken America by planting their subversives inside America, including starting anti-American policies in other countries.

The following very credible (as always) article by Caroline Glick speaks to the same issue of subversives planted (or grown) in Israel, who are dedicated to first weakening the Jewish Nation/State aimed at causing her collapse - unable to face her hostile surrounding neighbors.

While we are totally aware of our Muslim Arab neighbors, we are less so about the European nation that fund and politically assist the Leftist "Fifth Column" inside of Israel.

Regrettably, I must include the Arabist State Department as a large source of funds to these subversive organizations but, includes President Barack Hussein Obama who has demonstrably bonded with Muslims against the Jewish Nation/State. Obama was not the first oil-based President as in past years to oversee the funding of Islamic Terrorists - like Yassir Arafat, god-father of Modern Terrorism - and even anti-Israel so-called Jewish NGOs.

IF Israel is to survive these organizations, they must be shut down and then put the remains under the rock from which they emerged.

Despite orders from the U.S. State Department, Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu must clear his house of subversives who are the moles who represent the enemy within.

COMMENTARY BY EMANUEL A. WINSTON

THE NIF AND THE NEXT WAR By CAROLINE GLICK Jerusalem Post 

Feb. 2, 2010

The government has an opportunity to clear the way for any future war to end not only in military victory, but in political victory for Israel as well.

A regional war may well be approaching. The actions and statements of Iran and its Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian proxies over the past week or so indicate that this is what Israel’s enemies are gunning for.

In preparing for this growing threat, Israel’s leaders need to consider more than just the military challenges it faces. They must consider the political actors at home and abroad that limit the IDF’s ability to fight to victory and develop strategies for neutralizing those actors.

The latest developments are menacing. Last Saturday, Iran’s unelected president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened to open up a new round of hostilities on February 11. Then Wednesday, Iran launched a new missile into space. Israeli and US missile experts claim that the missile launch signals that Iran is developing intercontinental ballistic missiles and building the capacity to launch nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles.

Following the missile launch, Syria’s president and foreign minister issued incendiary comments threatening Israel with war. Notably, they did so the same day the US informed Syria of its intention to send an ambassador to Damascus for the first time in five years.

Hamas, for its part, sent barrels of explosives drifting to the Israeli coastline – exposing new ways it can kill us. And Fatah, for its part, decided to kiss Hamas’s ring this week. Senior Fatah official Nabil Shaath’s obsequious visit to Gaza Wednesday was a graphic demonstration of Hamas’s preeminence in Palestinian society.

Then there is Hezb’allah. In a speech on January 15, Hezb’allah leader Hassan Nasrallah pledged that the next war will "change the face of the region."

This may not be an exaggeration. It isn’t simply that under the blind eye of UN peacekeepers Hezb’allah has replenished and expanded its arsenal to include long-range missiles. It isn’t simply that in the three and half years since the war Hezb’allah has taken control over the Lebanese government. Hezb’allah has also built up a formidable ground force. In the event of war, these forces may be deployed as an expeditionary force inside northern Israel.

And if the precedent of former MK Azmi Bishara – who fled Israel after learning that he was about to be indicted for serving as a Hezb’allah agent in the 2006 war – is any indication of Hezb’allah’s modus operandi, Israel may also face Israeli Arab fifth columnists assisting Hezb’allah forces inside the country.

Assuming for the moment that the IDF and the government are prepared to contend with these mounting military threats, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his colleagues must take the necessary steps to withstand and minimize the effectiveness of the far left’s expected political warfare against Israel. As the past decade has made clear, the aim of that warfare is to delegitimize Israel’s right to defend itself in order to make it impossible for Israel to pursue the war to military and political victory.

As in the military arena, so in the political arena, Israel’s foes have grown from nuisances into strategic threats over the past decade. The UN-sponsored Goldstone Report, which effectively denies Israel’s right to defend itself and criminalizes its military efforts to secure its citizenry and its territory, is evidence of the gravity of the threat Israel faces as our leaders plan for the coming war.

On this latter plane, the past week has been an eventful and hopeful one. The latest developments offer guidance for how the government must proceed as the winds of war blow ever stronger. Late last week, the Zionist student movement Im Tirzu published a detailed report demonstrating that 16 anti-Zionist NGOs funded by the post-Zionist New Israel Fund worked hand in glove with the UN Human Rights Council and Richard Goldstone to bring about the establishment of the Goldstone committee and give credibility to its allegations that Israel committed war crimes during Operation Cast Lead. According to the Im Tirtzu report, 92 percent of Israeli allegations that Israel committed war crimes in its campaign against Hamas came from these 16 NIF-funded organizations.

Im Tirtzu’s report was prominently covered by Ma’ariv last weekend. The media coverage provoked calls in the Knesset this week to investigate the NIF and its operational arms in Israel, both through regular committee hearings and perhaps through a parliamentary investigative panel.

These calls are extraordinary because they represent the first time in a decade that the legitimacy of these NGOs has been seriously scrutinized.

Since the Palestinians began their terror war against Israel in September 2000, NIF-sponsored groups have worked steadily to intimidate political leaders, law enforcement officials and military commanders to toe their anti-Zionist line. In the wake of the PLO-incited riots in the Israeli Arab sector in October 2000, the overtly anti-Zionist NIF-funded Adalah group agitated for the formation of the Orr Commission. Charged with investigating the police who quelled the rioting rather than the rioters whose violence forced the prolonged closure of major highways to Jewish traffic throughout the country, the Orr Commission had a devastating impact on the police’s morale and organizational culture.

Adalah successfully cowed the Barak government into agreeing to rules of inquiry for the commission that denied police officers even minimal rights of due process. They were not allowed to confront or question their accusers. In the aftermath of the commission’s public hearings – which amounted to little more than show trials – the careers of several dedicated officers were destroyed. As a consequence, police commanders began curtailing their law enforcement activities in Arab villages. Everything from illegal building to livestock theft to incitement to war against Israel has gone uninvestigated and unpunished.

Furthermore, the Adalah-instigated and orchestrated Orr Commission empowered the most radical voices in Israeli Arab society. Supported by Arab political leaders, Adalah published a manifesto calling for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state. Bishara’s suspected espionage for Hizbullah, and the legal establishment’s self-evident fear of prosecuting him for treason, are also the direct consequence of the Orr Commission.

As for the IDF, NIF-funded organizations have played a key role in organizing the weekly riots at flashpoints like Ni’ilin and Bi’ilin and in the recent expansion of these riots to other places in Judea and Samaria like Neveh Tzuf. Supported by anti-Israel activists from Europe and the US, these riots have had a devastating impact on the IDF’s morale and its ability to defend Israeli communities.

The NIF-funded pro-Palestinian group B’Tselem provides the rioters with video cameras with which they regularly shoot distorted footage. Their canned films portray Israeli civilians seeking to defend themselves from the rioters as attackers. They portray IDF soldiers trying to keep order and protect Israeli civilians as violent bullies. B’Tselem gives these films to its supporters in the Israel media, which broadcast them as credible footage and demand that the IDF open investigations against its officers for carrying out lawful orders.

On the defensive, the IDF is compelled to curtail its operations and Israeli civilians, now demonized, are viewed as legitimate targets for terror attacks. One recent film of the rioting outside Neveh Tzuf posted on YouTube shows border policemen simply fleeing the scene and leaving the residents of the community to fend for themselves.

Im Tirtzu’s offensive against the NIF sparked outraged protest among the NIF’s supporters on the far left in Israel and in the US. Everyone from Ma’ariv’s in-house anti-Zionist reporters Maya Bengal and Meirav David to J Street have piled on, attacking Im Tirtzu’s financial backers and seeking to demonize the organization by referring to it as extremist, far right, racist, fascist, out-of-the-mainstream and all the other routine far-left terms used to demonize Zionists.

What is most encouraging about the aftershocks of the Im Tirtzu report is that the Left’s attempts to demonize it have so far failed. Indeed, the loudest voices calling for an investigation of NIF and its sponsored organizations have been MKs from Kadima.

The harsh truth is that the main cause of Israel’s poor performance in Cast Lead and the Second Lebanon War was the Olmert government’s ideological dependence on the far left and its central contention that it is Israel’s presence in contested areas rather than our enemies’ commitment to Israel’s destruction that causes wars. Owing to their allegiance to this falsehood, Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni were unable to prosecute the wars to victory militarily, justify the limited steps they did take to defend Israel diplomatically, or discredit the rising chorus of Israeli NGOs arguing that Israel had no right to defend itself politically.

Since Cast Lead, however, two important things have happened. First Kadima was replaced by the Likud. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu rightly recognized the Goldstone Report as a strategic attack against Israel. If Israel has no right to defend itself; if its moves to do constitute war crimes, then Israel cannot fight, cannot win and will be destroyed. Rather than give credence to the report, Netanyahu has made discrediting it one his primary aims in office. And to counteract its force, among other things, for the first time since the start of the Oslo peace process with the PLO, Israel’s government is asserting the Jewish people’s right to Judea and Samaria.

Beyond that, Kadima itself has changed its tune. Now in the opposition, Kadima no longer needs to defend its rejected plan to unilaterally withdraw from Judea and Samaria. Mahmoud Abbas’s refusal of Olmert’s offers to withdraw Israelis civilians and military personnel from nearly all of Judea and Samaria and to cede sovereignty in Jerusalem discredited the notion that it is possible to make peace with the Palestinians. Most importantly, the fact that Goldstone castigates Livni and Olmert as war criminals requires Kadima to fight all forces – including the far left it previously supported – that give credibility to Goldstone.

These developments clear the way for the Netanyahu government to take steps to neutralize the potency of these groups. The government should move swiftly to order the police and the IDF to enforce the law against these groups and their allies. It must also provide the political support to police and military commanders in the field to empower them fulfill their orders without fear that they will be persecuted for doing their jobs.

If the government seizes the opportunity to weaken these subversive groups, not only will it be making it clear that the political open season on Israel is over. It will be clearing the way for any future war to end not only in military victory, but in political victory for Israel as well.

UPDATE February 9, 2010: 


CONSPIRACY REVEALED: FULL TEXT OF THE IM TIRZU REPORT:

THE INFLUENCE OF THE NEW ISRAEL FUND ON THE GOLDSTONE REPORT

http://israelbehindthenews.com/library/pdfs/NIFGoldstone.pdf

LO RELEVANTI: AN INFLUENTIAL ISRAELI WEBSITE APPARENTLY, TRASHES MY LETTER TO PROFESSOR ENGELHARD. WHO IS BEHIND IT? FOLLOW THE MONEY: REALLY INTERESTING, AND REALLY, REALLY, IRRELEVANT: LO RELEVANTI , A PLANT OF THE FORD FOUNDATION IN ISRAEL?

B"H To all, So Professor Engelhard finally answered my letter, leaving unanswered some serious questions, and his response, published on Ynet, aroused tremendous emotions and reactions in people; quite understandable. I will carefully deal with his response later. Meanwhile, I will post some additional information on adjuvants on my next post. But first, let me address another issue: LO RELEVANTI, the website of a Hanan Cohen, which is apparently popular in Israel,  and is having quite an influence on people's opinions; Hanan the great sage decided that my  letter is no good. First read what he wrote, then find out more about him, for a change. Let's  investigate this self-appointed medical expert; see what HE says about himself: THE GUY NEVER EVEN FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL! REALLY FUNNY, ISN'T IT?  THAT MUST REALLY QUALIFY HIM TO EVALUATE SCIENCE AND MEDICINE. IT GETS BETTER: HE WORKED FOR 6 YEARS AS THE WEBMASTER FOR SHATIL,  AN IMPORTANT BRANCH OF THE NEW ISRAEL FUND. EVEN MORE INCRIMINATING: AT THE TIME HIS WEBSITE,  LO RELEVANTI, WAS CREATED, HANAN COHEN WAS ACTIVELY  EMPLOYED BY SHATIL, BEING IN ESSENCE THEIR INTERNET PRESENCE. THE IDEA TO CREATE THIS SITE APPARENTLY WAS GENERATED AT A SEPTEMBER  2003 MEETING WITH NIF ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR ELLEN GOLDBERG. HOW MUCH OF THE GENEROUS 20 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT TO NIF BY THE FORD FOUNDATION  WERE DIRECTED AT LO RELEVANTI? THE NIF AND THE FORD FOUNDATION SHARE DIRECTORS IN ISRAEL. THE NIF IS A FRONT FOR THE FORD FOUNDATION. JUST FOR CURIOSITY'S SAKE, I SEARCHED FOR THE YEAR 2007,  A YEAR HE WAS STILL UNDER THEIR EMPLOY, ON HIS WEBSITE. SEE FOR  YOURSELF: http://irrelevant.org.il/found.php?q=2007&utf=yes LO RELEVANTI WAS CLEARLY ALREADY IN EXISTENCE. IBIDEM WITH 2006, http://irrelevant.org.il/found.php?q=2006&utf=yes THE SITE GOES BACK AS FAR AS 2003: the idea was discussed 2 MONTHS EARLIER, SEE HIGHLIGHTED CONVERSATION BELOW, PRESNICKJOURNAL, SEPTEMBER 2003. http://irrelevant.org.il/found.php?q=2005&utf=yes נכנס למאגר ב 2 בנובמבר, 2003 [קישור קבוע למכתב וההסברים המלאים] WAS CREATED IN 2003,  BUT LANGUISHED UNTIL 2005, THE YEAR AFTER THE NEW ISRAEL FUND  RECEIVED A 20 MILLION DOLLAR INJECTION  FROM THE FORD FOUNDATION.  SHATIL IN PARTICULAR WAS VERY WELL ENDOWED. WE SEE THAT THE FORD  DOLLARS WERE VERY WELL USED FOR SUBVERSION, PROPAGANDA,  AND MIND -CONTROL OF A GULLIBLE ISRAELI PUBLIC, THAT BUYS  EVERYTHING THAT IS HANDED IT FOR FREE, EYES CLOSED. HANAN COHEN WAS IN THEIR EMPLOY UNTIL JUNE 2008. WAS LO-RELEVANTI  STARTED AS THE INTERNET PROPAGANDA AND CONTROL TOOL OF SHATIL,  OF THE NEW ISRAEL FUND, I.E. OF THE FORD FOUNDATION,  I.E. OF THE CFR, IN ISRAEL? SEE FURTHER EVIDENCE OF THIS CLAIM BELOW,  HIGHLIGHTED IN RED. SHATIL IS A SUBVERSIVE TOOL , THE GOAL OF WHICH IS  DESTRUCTION OF JEWISH ISRAEL FROM WITHIN, BY ANY MEANS  AVAILABLE. HANAN COHEN WAS A WILLING PATSY OF THE ENEMIES  OF THE JEWISH STATE AND OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE. REMEMBER THAT THE NIF IS A FRONT FOR THE FORD FOUNDATION,  WHICH DONATED 40 MILLION DOLLARS TO THE NIF BETWEEN 2004 AND 2007.  SO HE ESSENTIALLY WORKED AS THE WEBMASTER FOR THE FORD FOUNDATION IN ISRAEL. http://www.fordfound.org/newsroom/pressreleases/82 http://jta.org/news/article/2007/09/07/104043/nifedelman HE STOPPED WORKING FOR THEM A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, ALL THE WHILE  CALLING HIMSELF AN 'INTERNET ACTIVIST'. HOW INTERESTING:   ACTIVIST FOR WHOM? WHO PAID HIM ALL THIS TIME TO BE AN  INTERNET ACTIVIST, WHILE HE WAS WORKING FOR THE NGO SHATIL? HE CRITICIZES ME FOR BEING THE EXTREME RIGHT. MEANWHILE HE LIVES  IN A REAL, ALTHOUGH URBAN, KIBBUTZ IN BETH SHEMESH, IS  MOST LIKELY A COMMUNIST, SO OF COURSE HE IS OPPOSED TO ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH YEHUDA AND SHOMRON.  NO WONDER HE THOUGHT I AM A RACIST FOR OBJECTING TO AN  ARAB BEING IN CHARGE OF THE ICDC, AS I HAD ORIGINALLY UNDERSTOOD. HIS IDEA OF BEING AN ARTIST IS WRITING SLOGANS ON KITES. ART? WHAT ART??? FOR ALL I CAN TELL, HE IS A CRACKPOT WITH SERIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES. HE HIMSELF ADMITS TO HAVING ADHD. IN HIS OWN WORDS: "I have no formal training in computer or anything related to them. I haven't finished high  school either. Lately I have discovered I have ADHD, which explains a lot." DO READ BELOW SOME MORE INFORMATION ON HIM, ON SHATIL, AND ON  THE FORD FOUNDATION. SURPRISE, SURPRISE, FORD OF THE CFR IS BIG ON POPULATION CONTROL.  ANY WONDER THAT THEIR DARLING SON OBJECTS TO MY EXPOSING THE  POPULATION CONTROL ELEMENT OF THESE VACCINES? THE EXTREME LEFT,  SUCH AS THE FORD FOUNDATION AND MANY OTHERS, ARE STRONG SUPPORTERS OF POPULATION REDUCTION, IN ADDITION TO BEING BIG ANTISEMITES  AND NAZI SUPPORTERS DURING WW II . http://www.featuregroup.com/fgarchive/nysun.com/nysun.com2/index.html http://www.hirhome.com/israel/ford.htm ( many, many more references available about the Ford Foundation anti-Israel, antisemitic and Nazi  activities. The NIF is a TROJAN HORSE of our enemies within Israel. They found a PROBLEMATIC  NEBACH, a "FREIER",  TO DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM FOR GOOD MONEY) SO NOW YOU SEE WHO IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT ME AND TRASH MY  CREDENTIALS. HAPPY READING. DAISY J. STERN , MD AND BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN LICENSED IN ISRAEL AT LEAST SINCE 2002.  HOW COULD I HAVE WORKED AT MEUCHEDET IN 2002 WITHOUT A LICENSE?  SO THE ALLEGATIONS FROM THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH THAT I ONLY RECEIVED  MY LICENSE IN 2007 , ARE MISLEADING. IT WAS RENEWED IN 2007,  NOT RECEIVED IN 2007. BIG DIFFERENCE; DECEPTIVE STATEMENT,  ANOTHER LIE.  Hanan wrote the following words on his website:     RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT FORWARD (DR. STERN'S LETTER ) -המלצה: לא להעביר SO LET'S TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT COULD PROMPT HANAN TO TRY  TO SUPPRESS THE INFORMATION I AM SHARING. HERE BELOW IS WHAT HE IS WRITING : עדכון 10-11-2009 ממשרד הבריאות: מצ"ב שאלות ותשובות מעודכנות, כולל התייחסות לשאלות מסויימות של המכתב שנכתב לפרופ' אנגלהרד (לא להזויות שבהן) ד"ר איתמר גרוטו, ראש שירותי בריאות הציבור, משרד הבריאות. מה הקשר בין הדעות הפוליטיות של הכותבת וההמלצה שלי לא להעביר את המכתב? קיראו בבלוג שלי על הימין הקיצוני ומכתבי שרשרת. קראתי לא מעט טקסטים מדעיים בחיים שלי ואני קובע שהטקסט המדובר הוא לא רציני. טקסט מדעי רציני מציג את העובדות מכל צדדי העניין ואז קובע קביעה על פי העובדות. העובדה שלכותבת הכשרה רפואית לא מחייבת שהטקסט שהיא כתבה הוא רציני. זה הוא מכתב אישי, מאד רגשני, לבעל תפקיד בכיר במשרד הבריאות, המציג רק צד אחד של הטיעון. במכתב אין התייחסות למקורות העשויים לסתור את הטענה שבמכתב. לכן, אני מציע לא להתייחס ברצינות לכתוב בו. בנוסף לכך, ההתנהלות האישית של הכותבת בעייתית בעיני. התגובה שלי כאן היא לאחר שיחה טלפונית איתה. בראש המכתב היא מפרטת את מספרי הטלפון של הנמען שלה, כולל את המספר הנייד שלו. זו הפרה גסה של הפרטיות שלו. בתחתית המכתב היא חותמת "רפואת משפחה ורפואה מונעת, ארה"ב וישראל". החתימה הזאת עלולה לבלבל אנשים. לגברת אין רישיון רפואה בתוקף בישראל. היה לה. כיום היא איננה עוסקת בטיפול באנשים וכן אינה עוסקת במחקר בשום מוסד אקדמאי. על פי דבריה, היא "חוקרת עצמאית וכותבת". קראתי שהיא כתבה איפה שהוא את תיאור תהליך הבירורים שלה במשרד הבריאות. היא כותבת בזעזוע שאחד האנשים שענו לה במשרד הוא ערבי. שאלתי אותה לגבי זה והיא אמרה לי שלא נראה לה בטוח שערבים יופקדו על הבריאות של יהודים. שאלתי אותה האם זו לא נראית לה עמדה גזענית והיא אמרה לי שזה "עניין של בטיחות. כמו שאנחנו לא נותנים נשק לערבים".  מכתב בהול מרופאת משפחה מדוע לבטל תוכנית חיסונים לשפעת החזירים  (המלצה: לא להעביר)

11 בנובמבר, 2009  תגובות (7) הימין הקיצוני ומכתבי שרשרת אני עוקב באדיקות אחר המכתבים החדשים המופיעים באתר האמריקאי snopes.com. בשנה ומשהוא האחרונות אני זוכר מספר לא מבוטל של אימיילים שיקריים וזדוניים נגד ברק אובאמה. לפני שהוא נבחר, אחרי שהוא נבחר ועד היום. (תקליקו על הקישור ותראו את מספר העיגולים האדומים.) בתקופה האחרונה מופיעים גם אימיילים זדוניים נגד התכנית שלו לרפורמה במערכת הבריאות האמריקאית. למה אני נזכר בזה? בימים האחרונים מסתובב מכתב בהול מרופאת משפחה מדוע לבטל תוכנית חיסונים לשפעת החזירים. המקור של המכתב הוא אשה עם השכלה רפואית מארה"ב אך ללא רשיון רפואה ישראלי בתוקף, מתנחלת מחברון שבאופן לא מפתיע לא בוחלת בהתבטאויות גזעניות. מכיוון שאינני איש מקצוע בתחום הרפואה, התגובה הראשונה שלי למכתב היתה בנוגע להצגת עצמה כרופאת משפחה ולהתבטאות הגזענית שלה שאותה היא אישרה בשיחה איתי. המלצתי לא להעביר את המכתב. אחר כך גם חשבתי קצת והראיתי איך המכתב שלה לא יכול להחשב רציני כי הוא בלתי מאוזן לחלוטין. הבוקר הוספתי גם קישור לתגובת משרד הבריאות למכתב שלה. אני ממשיך לקבל אימיילים המבקרים אותי על עירוב בתגובה שלי בין הנושא הרפואי והעמדות הפוליטיות של הכותבת. חשבתי על העניין והגעתי למסקנה שמה שחירפן אותי במכתב הזה הוא הריח של אותו סוג התנהלות של הימין הקיצוני האמריקאי. אותו סוג של שקרים, אותה הפצת שמועות, אותה היסטריה מדבקת. על דברים כאלה צריך להגיד בקול רם "שקרים". בלי "אולי" ו"מה הקשר". אפס סובלנות.

My next stop was the offices of New Israel Fund and Shatil. NIF funds non-profit social change organizations. My 1986 visit was a study tour arranged by NIF and I started contributing money last year. Shatil is a 20-year-old arm of NIF that provides various management support services to NIF fundees. It has played a huge role in creating a vibrant civil society in Israel, rather than depending solely on government programs or international donor projects. I spoke with Shatil’s webmaster, Hanan Cohen, and NIF Associate Director Ellen Goldberg about the possibility of adding a technology planning/training/consulting arm to Shatil, along the lines of NPower or perhaps even affiliated with i

Hanan is a very interesting guy. He grew up on a Kibbutz, didn’t finish high school but taught himself computers beginning on the Kibbutz’s PDP-11. He now lives in an urban Kibbutz, where 18 families pool their income, allocate it according to need, and own property collectively. Beit Shemesh also has an urban kibbutz called Tamuz, founded in 1987 and affiliated with the Kibbutz Movement. http://il.linkedin.com/in/hanancohen Hanan Cohen Activist at Israeli Internet Scene Israel Contact Hanan Cohen Add Hanan Cohen to your network Current Activist at Israeli Internet Scene Past Webmaster at Shatil Activist at Israeli Internet Scene Web Developer at Bashan Systems see less...

I have no formal training in computer or anything related to them. I haven't finished high school either. Lately I have discovered I have ADHD, which explains a lot. I have begun working with computers in 1985. It was a computers center of the south Arava desert in Israel. We used DEC PDP11/73. I was a member of Kibbutz Lotan then. I left for studying photography and didn't come back to this place but computers were a part of my life. In 1987 I married Osnat who was my friend from 1980. We had two children (Nevet and Or) while we were members of Lotan. Then we left to Kibbutz Tamuz which is an Urban Kibbutz in the city of Beit Shemesh. Here, our third child (Rachel) was born. When we left (in 1996), I started working for Bashan Systems, first supporting their software and then a part of the team that set up Bashan's Internet development center. I was the "web interface" guy in the team. I learnt HTML and image manipulation all by myself. Remember, it was '96, no one taught this stuff then. My first question in a newsgroup was in May 30th 1996 and I haven't shut up since then. Almost always, I sign my Emails with ***Love and Peace***. You can see where I have hanged around by looking at the "Elswhere" section in the English homepage of this site. My mission is to connect people and information using technology. Translating the Cluetrain Manifesto into Hebrew is part of that mission. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cluetrain_Manifesto) I am now the Internet Coordinator of Shatil, an organization that helps voluntary organizations for Social Change. When not at the computer, I raise three children, develop my relationship with my wife, involve myself in the life of Kibbutz Tamuz and make kites. As far as I know, I am the only artist in the (western) world who put his texts on kites. I have many talents but I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up.

I don't see any art here!DS http://www.info.org.il/mavet/english/index.html HANAN COHEN, "web activist" he calls himself, so now we understand what his ACTIVISM is all about: SHATIL, THAT IS,  THE FORD FOUNDATION! Currently webmaster for the Bloomfield Science Museum, was THE WEBMASTER FOR SHATIL, part of the NEW ISRAEL FUND, A FRONT FOR THE FORD FOUNDATION IN ISRAEL. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THIS GUY IS FIGHTING ME TOOTH ND NAIL? HE WAS WEBMASTER FOR THE FORD FOUNDATION IN ISRAEL NOW READ ABOUT THE FORD FOUNDATION'S AGENDA, AND MAYBE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY THIS GUY IS TELLING THE WHOLE WORLD NOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO MY LETTER TO PROFESSOR ENGELHARD!      For many years, the Ford Foundation supported population control.... The foundation's impact on population policy is  described at length in John Caldwell's 1986 book,   Limiting Population Growth and the Ford Foundation.  ______________________________________________   http://www.nif.org/issue-areas/stories/ford-foundation-president. html   _____________________________________________________________________   http://www.capitalresearch.org/pubs/pdf/06_04_FW.pdf    _____________________________________________________________________   http://www.eugenics-watch.com/roots/chap12.html:
