What is really going on here.... VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE

UPDATE 5/7:

Well, well, well... as usual, Hashem is helping me in this work : here is the answer! Thanks again to Moshe who sent me this a few days ago and I just saw it now. So it is true, it IS 5G in the schools after all causing these troubling symptoms in the kids. 

Please dear friends, PAY ATTENTION! And if this video gets taken down as so many others have been, remember two things:

EITHER TAKE YOUR KIDS OUT OF THE SCHOOLS, OR GET THE SCHOOLS TO REMOVE THE REMOTE 5G WIGIG WEAPONRY THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN SCHOOLS EVERYWHERE WHILE EVERYBODY WAS IN LOCKDOWN.



You might say: oh,  this only applies to the U.S., but of course not here, not in Israel!

I am afraid to tell you I am not sure you are correct.  Did you notice how all  of a sudden they are reopening the schools here in Israel too? What has been going on in the schools while you were all at home? And now Bibi is talking about the kids, making fun of them being chipped....did you hear?

What kind of monsters would want to hurt our little ones? NAZIS, that's who....

 Anybody knowingly participating in this scheme is no better than the NAZIS were. Remember, NAZIS, AMALEK?! 

And if you doubt me and think that I am paranoid, crazy, or whatever, then listen to what Rav Amnon Yitzhak has to share with you about what is going on IN ISRAEL. Will you listen to him if not to me or to the person speaking in the video above?


This video compliments of Anun.. in the previous post. Thank you!

My heart aches at the thought of what these monsters are or will be doing to our little ones, obeying their evil NWO masters like obedient, docile kapos. It's a tough choice though, for someone threatened with G-d knows what if they don't comply: I don't know if I could withstand that test. Could you?


PS: I just had a flash of understanding: THAT'S WHY THE COURTS APPROVED THE UNITY GOVERNMENT UNANIMOUSLY! BIBI IS BEING A GOOD BOY, HE IS IMPLEMENTING THE N.W.O. PLAN, SO WHY GET RID OF HIM NOW, RIGHT? HE IS PLAYING BALL, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?!

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/279807

AND EVEN WORSE; THAT IS WHY THE AMERICANS ARE SUPPORTING APPLYING ISRAELI LAW IN THE PARTS OF YESHA INHABITED BY JEWS! SO NOW THE SAME LAWS WILL APPLY HERE TOO: UNTIL NOW WE WERE SPARED THE 5G NIGHTMARE, AND NOW THEY WILL FORCE IT DOWN OUR THROATS UNDER THE PRETEXT THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 
"US" AND "THEM", ISRAELI LAW HAS TO BE APPLIED!

That is why it is so urgent that we go to our various Roshei Moatzah and DEMAND THAT 5G BE BANNED HERE, BEFORE THEY IMPLEMENT THE "SMART CITY" PLAN, THE KILLER PLAN. NOW I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY NAVI STATES THAT SO FEW PEOPLE WILL SURVIVE THE WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG.

THIS IS SHMAD, FOLKS!

SO WHAT DO WE DO? PRAY OF COURSE. BUT WHAT ELSE?

Brave leaders of Israel: here is our friend, Rabbi Moshe Parry, yesterday in L.A. Moshe, you are magnificent, and I admire your courage; may there be many more like you... such as Rav Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba - Hevron, below.



This video was shot by another good friend from L.A, " JooTube"; his original video can be found at
http://jootube.org/

Moshe has been a frequent contributor to this blog ( under a pseudonym) , with his meaningful comments and analysis. Besides being a rabbi, he is a brilliant historian, who understands the intricacies of Rome and Edom very, very well.

Update: see this very special post about Moshe Parry that Tamar Yonah posted on her blog in Arutz7:

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/3
Thanks, Tamar. Let all the great minds meet! You both deserve the attention of Am Yisrael, and our thanks.
 **********

...And in Israel, we are proud to have another courageous leader, Rabbi Dov Lior, who received a tribute last night from some admirers, in the form of a poster:




To the honorable Rabbi Dov Lior shlita


Thank you for the lesson you gave us all in brave leadership,
to the honor of Erets Israel, Torat Israel and Am Israel.
According to the newsreports and even more so,
according to what is not reported,we are headed towards difficult challenges.
The Rabbi's strong stand vis-a-vis pressures by the authorities,
is a breath of fresh air.
We are lucky to be blessed with this kind of different leadership,
and we, the activists on the ground, receive from it a lot of strength.
With great honor and appreciation,

Women for Israel's Tomorrow (Women in Green)- The Committee for a Jewish Shdema- The Judea Action Committee


for all details about this sordid affair, where the Israeli government ( under guidance of our enemies, no doubt, but with full cooperation of our so-called "Jewish" courts and government) is in the business of arresting rabbis for Torah writings, and destroying synagogues. Time has come to put those Reshaim in their place!

And here is one more emerging leader of Israel, Rav Avraham Yosef, chief rabbi of Holon: true leaders of Israel are coming out of the woodworks, while our so-called present leaders show their true colors as weaklings and traitors.

Rav Avraham Yosef: Don’t Include Judges in a Minyan

Senior figures in the Israeli government or in the judicial system cannot join a minyan, according to Cholon’s Chief Rabbi Rav Avraham Yosef, who is also a representative on the Chief Rabbinate

EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT, ENEMIES OF ISRAEL! PART II



Thanks to Edith

I like most of what is said here, except the part about oranges:

Israel's heart is its LAND, ERETZ YISRAEL; and of course its SPIRITUALITY, its CONNECTION TO HASHEM.


.... and just this, today, which must give our enemies a very upset stomach: LOOK WHO IS LEADING THE WORLD STOCK MARKETS FOR THE PAST 52 WEEKS! How about little Israel?! 

Just to show you that HASHEM IS WITH US. 

Once again, let the Obamas, the Benedikts, the Ahmedinajads of this world drown in their own bile, choke on their own tears, and eat their hearts out. And may their names be obliterated and forgotten by posterity forever and ever and ever.


AM YISRAEL CHAI, do you hear that, Amalekites??? 

 AM YISRAEL IN ERETZ YISRAEL FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER! 

ERETZ YISRAEL IS NOT YOURS FOR THE TAKING! 

ERETZ YISRAEL WILL NEVER BE YOURS!

Watch Rav Lior say something VERY TRUE - in Hebrew : on Chanukah, Hashem gave us THE COURAGE, THE FORTITUDE to wage a necessary WAR. May He give us the courage and fortitude to do what is necessary today. Some first few steps, below



1. A FASCINATING DOCUMENT, BY MORDECHAI SONES, DRAFTED THIS CHANUKAH.



“LEGISLATIVE INSTRUMENT”:
THE ONLY WAY WITHIN NATURE
TO SAVE
JUDEA AND SAMARIA


By Mordechai Sones

INTRODUCTION
In the past, the greatest vulnerability of policies of genocide, expulsion, or abandonment that seemed unstoppable has been a deliberate process of public exposure and subsequent political change accomplished through the grassroots vehicle of a “Legislative Instrument”.

This deliberate process can be studied in its historical context and learned from to deliberately rectify a flawed government policy such as Israel’s current Judea and Samaria policy.  Historically, this process has always followed a pattern of concrete steps:

·    RESOLUTION;

·    POLICY;

·    ESTABLISHMENT OF AGENCY;

·    IMPLEMENTATION

When we celebrate the reversal of Haman’s planned genocide against the Jewish people on Purim, we generally do not recognize the elements of this process explicitly revealed in Megillas Esther for us to utilize as an example to follow.

However, an essential component of Mordechai and Esther’s success in transforming a policy of genocide against the Jewish people was the “R.P.E.I. Process”:

“Yesterday, it was illegal for the Jews to defend themselves; today, thanks to the new law (Legislative Instrument), it is legal for them to defend themselves.”

That is to say, even after the exposure and execution of Haman, the victory of Purim could not have been achieved without the essential element of the Legislative Instrument.

THE R.P.E.I. PROCESS IN MEGILLAS ESTHER :

RESOLUTION - Esther Confronts Achashverosh with Plot.

“What is your petition, Queen Esther?” asked the king at the second day’s banquet. 

“If I have found favor in the king’s eyes,” replied Esther, “and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition and my people at my request.  We have been sold to an evil man to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish.  This vile enemy has a deep personal hatred for me and wishes to dispose of me through the genocide of my people.  Your majesty had been deceived into believing that some obscure race was involved, but in truth it is my own people.  This wicked murderer has presented his entire plot to the king as a patriotic campaign to convert an unbelieving people while he has actually laid plans for their total annihilation.

“Had he duped the king into selling me and my people into slavery I would have held my peace rather than ask the king to rescind a decree signed in his name, without his knowledge of its victims.  But now that he has so thoroughly misled his majesty in every aspect of his plot I feel that I must reveal his true intentions.  It is not my people who endanger the kingdom, as he reported to the king, but this evil plotter who is a grave threat to the realm.”

The king was completely taken aback by Esther’s charges and turned to his household for an explanation.

“Who is the man that dares plot such a thing and what reason could have motivated him?”

This adversary and enemy is none other than Haman!” cried Esther.  “His deep personal hatred for me and my people has moved him to plot our destruction.”
 
The uncovering of Haman’s plot ended Achasheverosh’s acquiescence to Haman’s decree.

Although Haman himself was eliminated, his decree to annihilate the Jews was still in effect, as Median law was that an edict signed and sealed by the king could not be revoked.

POLICY: then King gave ring to Mordechai. 
At the second feast, Esther asked, “let an edict be written to revoke the letters.”  Two different letters were sent out.  One was a public declaration, which only said that the people should be “ready on that day.”  But they did not know what to be ready for.  The second version of the edict was a letter sent to the ministers of every town and province.  These contained the explicit order to “destroy, murder, and annihilate all the Jews.”  This order was to be kept secret until the appointed day.

Information regarding Achashverosh’s acquiescence in Haman’s plan to kill the Jews had been restricted to the governors and ministers of the provinces.  

ESTABLISHMENT OF AGENCY:  the sending out of the couriers and activation of militias, and
They succeeded, although time was very short.  “The horsemen were sent out dchufim u’movhalim….”

IMPLEMENTATION:  Purim

Let us then concisely define a Grassroots Legislative Instrument:  An effective grassroots legislative instrument would allow activists and those with political power to effectively mobilize Israel's moral interests to initiate and conduct a debate that transforms political thinking on an issue and remedies flaws in current policy.

An effective grassroots legislative instrument would contain the following essential elements:
1.    Clarify changes in government policy toward the land and the people which the government has either suppressed or the media has failed to report.
2.    Articulate Jewish moral, legal, strategic, and economic interests at stake in Yesha, particularly those overlooked or marginalized by Knesset debate.
3.    Rebuke those official policies that violate the aforementioned values and interests.  Doing this in a sufficiently compelling way can re-connect Jews to the Jewish heartland, and can become politically impossible to oppose it in public.
4.    Establish clear policy initiatives for building a Jewish Yesha, including outreach to and alliance with all groups involved in related work.
5.    After reading the text, people with a genuine interest in the issue would be able to perceive that the legislation would justify time taken off from work or family responsibilities to lobby their elected and appointed officials.
6.    In the case of Israeli Yesha policy, transformation in outlook will be necessary to achieve the required change in Israeli policy.  Only a few models of such successful instruments exist:  the Declaration of Independence in 1776;  the Lahore Resolution of 1940, demanding a separate nation for the Muslims of India, resulting in the independence of Pakistan;  the 1944 Department of Treasury Memorandum which persuaded President Roosevelt to end his acquiescence in the murder of Europe's Jews.

The 1944 U.S. Department of Treasury memorandum that persuaded President Roosevelt to end his administration’s acquiescence in the murder of Europe’s Jews resulted in the establishment of the War Refugee Board.

THE R.P.E.I. PROCESS IN WORLD WAR II :

·    RESOLUTION;

·    POLICY;

·    ESTABLISHMENT OF AGENCY;

·    IMPLEMENTATION

RESOLUTION TO SAVE LIVES
A passionate young U.S. Treasury official named Josiah DuBois provides us with a shining example of what a single man’s thoughtful commitment against a bankrupt policy can accomplish:

Refugee and visa questions had been delegated to Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long, whose orders were to curb any special efforts on behalf of Jews, as these would create a diversion from the war effort.  This restrictive approach was not only Long’s wish but also that of Long’s good friend, the President of the United States.

DuBois and two other low-ranking Treasury Department officials had put their careers on the line to research and document State Department suppression of information, which prevented the rescue of several hundred thousand Jews.  The Report to the Secretary on the Acquiescence of This Government in the Murder of the Jews was presented by Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. to President Roosevelt, forcing him to realize that history would judge his government’s policies responsible for being willing bystanders to genocide.

The delegation led by Secretary Morgenthau confronted President Roosevelt face-to-face with this memorandum.  The President found it no longer politically possible to remain part of such a murderous policy of abandonment.

The eighteen-page DuBois Memorandum, based on research into U.S. official suppression of information about the Holocaust, exposed how policy officials were not merely incompetent or confused about how to best rescue the Jews of Europe, but were actively suppressing information which circumvented rescue from taking place.  This behavior, once documented, became impossible for Roosevelt to sweep under the table.

RECTIFYING POLICY
As the Treasury representatives dissected the obstructive tactics of the State Department, Roosevelt must have realized that his own failure to liberalize refugee policies bore much of the responsibility.  Furthermore, Morgenthau’s Personal Report contained political dynamite and Roosevelt knew it.  If it were made public the damage to the prestige and good faith of his Administration would be incalculable.

Roosevelt knew that he would have to take action – and quickly.

The Treasury men had been far-sighted enough to bring along the suggested draft of an executive order establishing a War Refugee Board.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee had already been considering a resolution

“urging the creation by the President of a commission of diplomatic, economic, and military experts to formulate and effectuate a plan of immediate action designed to save the surviving Jewish people of Europe from extinction at the hands of Nazi Germany.”

Breckinridge Long testified in those hearings, denying the need for such a commission on the grounds that State was already aiding rescue work in the most effective manner.

Executive Order 9417 creating the Board began by stating that

“it is the policy of this government to take all measures within its power to rescue the victims of enemy oppression who are in imminent danger of death and otherwise to afford such victims all possible relief and assistance consistent with the successful prosecution of the war.”

The order went on to define the administrative structure of the Board within the executive office of the President, responsible directly to the President:

The Board’s function would include

“without limitation, the development of plans and programs…for (a) the rescue, transportation, maintenance, and relief of the victims of enemy oppression, and (b) the establishment of havens of temporary refuge for such victims.”

The objective of the Board’s Washington staff was to develop positive, new American programs to aid the victims of Nazism while pressing the Allies and neutrals to take forceful diplomatic action in their behalf.

The War Refugee Board had a small staff, consisting of:

·    General Counsel
·    Executive Director
·    Liaison with the State Department
·    Field Representative

The Board was given added sinews in its power to work with private organizations and foreign governments in achieving its objectives.

The practice of suppressing unpleasant information had ended.

THE WAR REFUGEE BOARD – ESTABLISHING THE AGENCY
Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the formation of the War refugee Board on January 22, 1944.  Three days later a cable drafted by John Pehle was sent over the signature of Cordell Hull to all United States Embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic missions.  It ordered that “action be taken to forestall the plot of the Nazis to exterminate the Jews and other persecuted minorities in Europe.”

The message specified “communication facilities should be made freely available to private agencies for all appropriate messages for carrying out this policy of the government.”

In Washington, the War Refugee Board was bringing continuous pressure against the Axis satellites, reminding them that their mistreatment of the Jews would be remembered after the war, stressing the American determination to punish war criminals.

In place of the weak, apologetic appeals sent sporadically by Breckinridge Long and his associates, the new directives were urgent and uncompromising.

In the belief that the Nazi’s avowed drive to exterminate the Jews should be condemned and war criminals threatened with drastic punishment, the Board drafted a forceful declaration which it hoped would be issued by President Roosevelt.  The British government opposed the statement on the ground that similar declarations had been ineffective and had proved “embarrassing” to the Allies.

John Pehle reacted immediately to the British argument.  On February 11 he wrote to Undersecretary Stettinius, stressing that the leaders of the enemy nation must be convinced that the Allies were dedicated to the rescue of the Jews.  Pehle argued that a change in enemy attitudes, brought about by a new realization of Anglo-American determination to rescue the Jews, could result in the saving of many more lives than complicated rescue programs.

On March 24, 1944, President Roosevelt issued the strong statement drafted by the War Refugee Board.

The March 24 presidential statement on Nazi criminality was not a polite pronouncement couched in diplomatic terms and released into to empty air to be forgotten.  It was a direct warning to Germany and its satellites, and it was relayed by every conceivable means, including foreign-language broadcasts by the Office of War Information, publication in underground newspapers, and in leaflets air-dropped by the millions over occupied Europe.

IMPLEMENTATION
At a conference analyzing lessons learned from the Holocaust, historian Richard Breitman described the impact of the DuBois Memorandum:

“For years, people like Breckingridge Long and the entrenched bureaucracies in the State Department and the Immigration service appeared to be an insurmountable obstacle to effective action to rescue Jews in Europe.  But suddenly within days after President Roosevelt approved the DuBois Memorandum, Breckingridge Long was no longer listened to nor heard from, and the political opposition to the rescue of European Jews virtually collapsed overnight. 

“Although some bureaucratic foot dragging remained, especially the War Department’s foot dragging over the bombing of the rail lines to Auschwitz, programs for the rescue of European Jews advanced rapidly under the aegis of the War Refugee Board, saving tens of thousands of lives during the final stages of the Holocaust.”

“The final reports of the War Refugee Board’s field representatives reflected their sorrow that the vast rescue actions had not been set into motion much earlier.  From Turkey, Ira Hirschmann wrote:

‘It bears repetition that it is regrettable that the Board, which has demonstrated its vitality and the success of its operations, was not created a year or two ago.  There is no doubt from the evidence at hand that additional thousands of refugees could have been saved…’”

NEEDED TODAY:  ESTABLISHMENT OF LEGITIMATE YESHA REPRESENTATION FOR LEGAL ESTABLISHMENT OF YESHA DEFENSE AGENCY
The process that took one day between Morgenthau and Roosevelt must now take place between Yesha and the Israel Government if Israel is to survive.  Tens of thousands of Yeshan grassroots are aware of the first strike/eviction abandonment.  Only a handful has translated this awareness into action.

The day may come when the ravshatzim will have to give the orders to open the gun rooms and help – or at least allow - the Yeshans to engage in effective nonlethal resistance against an IDF-led eviction, or effective lethal resistance against an Arab first strike.

Women in Green has pledged to oppose transfer with their “dead bodies.”  However, the Gaza Expulsion shows that only a small percentage of the residents of Yesha might be prepared to stay no matter what, while the rest have not yet committed to draw the line and stay.

This has been achieved by the Israel government’s emphasis of one policy:  dividing yishuvim against each other.  By declaring some yishuvim to be “safe,” but abandoning others, the “safe” yishuvim can be lulled into turning their backs on the abandoned ones.  This approach is designed to prevent what the government fears most:  the yishuvim uniting behind a resolution to draw the line for Yesha’s future.

There has been a demonization of Yesha residents in the past years which has caused a disconnection between Yeshan and Diaspora Jewry that needs to be repaired rapidly by clearly and concisely clarifying the values at stake in Yesha to determine if they are worth giving one’s life for.  This must be done in a way that can reach all the Jews of Israel and the Diaspora.  By putting our lives behind this resolution, we can cause this communication to occur.

A suggested draft of such a resolution follows.  It will enable us to politically and morally pressure our elected representatives and government to strengthen the besieged communities of Yesha.  By endorsing it, Diaspora Jewry can demonstrate their support for the Yeshans who can then begin the process of rectifying Israeli policy.  With every name we win over to it, with every yishuv that unites behind it, we can increase the likelihood that Yesha will survive and fulfill the role for which it is destined.

JUDEA AND SAMARIA
MATERIAL ASSISTANCE RESOLUTION


Calling upon the Government of the State of Israel for the abolition of the Palestinian Authority and its replacement with an administration that represents the residents of Yesha loyal to Israel:


Whereas Judea and Samaria are vital to the defense of Israel’s eastern border;


Whereas in the modern missile age, Judea and Samaria’s unique topography and size provide Israel valuable survivability as hill country is far more resistant to NBC contamination;


Whereas water is a strategic resource for Israel, even in an era of peace;


Whereas whoever controls Judea and Samaria controls the mountain aquifer, Israel’s principal source of high-grade drinking water;


Whereas Palestinian military bases in close proximity to Israeli cities would present an unacceptable threat to Israel’s civilian, economic, and military infrastructures;


Whereas Palestinian nationalism is the first national movement in world history conceived for the express purpose to serve as an instrument for the genocide of an existing nation and represents a dangerous and unacceptable development in Islamic expansionism and Arab ultranationalism;


Whereas the struggle against said expansion can succeed if those of us who are dedicated to peace come to its support;


Whereas according to responsible IDF officials, the cost of abolishing the Palestinian Authority is projected to be hundreds of IDF soldiers and thousands of civilian lives, mostly Arab;


Whereas the flow of arms and money to the Palestinian Authority, increased training, and growing international sympathy may increase the cost of abolishing it with every day Israel allows it to fester on her sovereign soil;


Whereas the idea of any concessions to the Palestinian Authority is likely to increase the aforementioned cost in human lives, and would therefore be immoral and unacceptable;


Whereas the Palestinian Authority has brutalized Arabs living within the areas where the government of Israel has allowed them to control and also in places outside these areas;


Whereas for fifteen years the Jews of Yesha have withstood violent campaigns by Arabs and an international campaign to discredit them yet have nevertheless gained the admiration of Jews and friends of Israel the world over with their courageous sacrifice, bravery, and determination;


Whereas many individuals and private organizations all over the world have already sent substantial aid to the Jews of Yesha;


Whereas Yesha, all of Yesha, is an indispensable prerequisite to Israel’s survival and future, in virtually every way such as can be measured, including military, cultural, spiritual, economic, and political;


Whereas to entrap any Jewish community within any form of Palestinian sovereign entity, by disarming and abandoning them would amount to an indefensible policy of deception and betrayal:  Now, therefore be it


Resolved by the Knesset, that it should be the policy of the State of Israel:


1.    to recognize and salute the courage of Jews and Arabs of Yesha who have lost their lives out of loyalty to Israel opposing Palestinian Authority corruption and oppression;
2.    to encourage and support the Jewish people of Yesha in their struggle to resist Islamic or Arab domination;
3.    to provide the Jewish people of Yesha, if they so request, with material assistance, as the State of Israel considers appropriate, to help them protect themselves effectively against attack; and
4.    to pursue a settlement of the war in Yesha, based on the abolition of the Palestinian Authority and the recognition of the inalienable right of the Jewish people in Yesha to choose their own destiny free from fear of attack or eviction, so that the quarter million Yeshan Jews can continue their lives in safety and honor.



2. A STATEMENT BY SHMUEL RE: THE NEED FOR A TOTALLY NEW ELECTED GOVERNMENT, THROWING OUT THE TREASONOUS TRASH NOW IN POWER, WRITTEN ON CHANUKAH.



JEWS do not learn a thing or solve a thing when it comes to self defense and leadership selection.
EVERYONE knows that in the state's budget monies are allocated to form shock military and paramilitary units, train the worst psychopaths and include them in those units, produce manuals for training and service for those units, hire expert staff to condition the said psychopaths, set up field facilities to train the beasts therein, assign commanders to those units not much different than the ones on record during WWII Germany, and send those units specially formed to assault Jews.
EVERYONE knows that yet no ONE questions any part of that process.
The repeated ghastly scenario has all the looks of what one would expect from a sector of people being affected by genetic defects  providing the base to form such bestial aggregations and to use them.  The importation of Arafat and many of his associates, all murderers was SOLELY to serve as the unJews monsters proxies.


Just as much, the genetic flaw sets real JEWS as passive victims, (aka "victims of peace", "painful sacrifices", and other such labels), in front of those black uniformed or otherwise garbed pieces of garbage.


Unless a real leadership is found and FREELY ELECTED and supported to enact a FREELY elected JEWISH JUDICIAL system replacing the present one, much worse will come to be.
The NEWLY elected JEWISH leadership must also raze the military and police command staff and carefully select normal humans to  serve there, if need be, import pros from overseas until a new officer core is trained here.


To stop both internal anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic hatred and the external support for those part of the unJews sector, as proven by the "donations" the unJews receive from foreign countries, is to have the NEW JUDICIAL and corresponding JEWISH field operatives take the required steps to neutralize the unJewish "special police", paramilitary and G SS forces.


Unless real democracy is established to the above ends of course more Amonas will occur as well as soon, "desaparecidos" will be reported.
 
One may recall that Mr. Netanyahu also hid behind the sinister Sharon-Livni-Peres-
Lapid-Ezra-Itzik-Olmert-Ramon et all conundrum. He voted all along for the
"disengagement" and when it was all set in place... tip toed trough the tulips as if
no one noticed that. Others still in the LIKUD did the same...


And we or at least a large number of people DID FORGET" and voted for the scum. 
The fact is my friends that the "government" SYSTEM as set in place by the
Peresites, is naturally and based on its origin, rotten to the core.
THE sane remaining PEOPLE has only one choice as Iran is short months away
from nuclear capacity and others are also set to strike a final blow while the scum
hits and dispossess Jews.
The present system and its members have had every opportunity to defang the threats
for well over a decade and has done NOTHING but assault.... JEWS.
Or, pretend to attack Hamas or Hezbollah with the known "results".


The only valid option is to freely elect A NEW GOVERNMENT SYSTEM and a
completely new JEWISH LEADERSHIP.


ALL other options have been repeatedly proven to have been for years either self serving,
high treason bound or suicidal.


There is a great number of people that have worked without personal considerations on
behalf of our people and Heritage and we call to them to be part of this NEW JEWISH
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY/Convention or any other name for a the incipient JEWISH
government may decide to freely call itself.


No personal invitations will be issued. The doors to the organizing process are open to
one and all except internal enemies part of the present system, agents provocateurs,
violent trash.



3. LAST BUT NOT LEAST,  A PROPOSAL THAT HAD BEEN CRAFTED A WHILE BACK, BUT IS NOW BEING RESURRECTED ON CHANUKAH BY YOURS TRULY:


The "government" is owned, and not by us…


Torah mandates autonomy and sovereignty on a local level (i.e. each city).
All organization must be "grassroots".

The UN, the US, the EU and the State of Israel, Inc. must, by Treaty, recognize such autonomy for indigenous peoples, but  only if the Nation can substantiate these three claims:
1.       Land
2.       Language
3.       Law of the Land (this is the definition of "culture" in Treaty)

Note that the current regime is based exclusively upon and firmly rooted in Admiralty/Maritime Law as defined under the UCC.
This is not considered "Law of the Land" by any definition.
"Law of the Land" must derive from indigenous tradition in order to qualify.

In our case, the system of political parties (a "Western" tradition) must be replaced by the local Community Council/Court structured according to our own original sources.

Start here:
Note regarding this procedure: changes and/or deletions will guarantee failure.


4. AND AS AN ADD-ON, THIS PIECE, FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

Israeli settlements are more than legitimate 

By Eric Rozenman,
President Obama asserts, seconded by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements” in the West Bank. Both have praised the 10-month freeze on new residential building — excluding eastern Jerusalem — that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced late last month.
Netanyahu now calls for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to resume negotiations or take the blame for lack of progress when the “one-time-only” freeze expires. Abbas’ precondition — adopted after Washington’s pronouncements — is that all Israeli construction, including in eastern Jerusalem, must cease permanently.

Too bad international diplomacy doesn’t have a replay button. If it did, the parties could look back at history, which would show that Israeli settlements not only are legitimate under international law but positively encouraged.

The basic relevant provision, the League of Nations’ 1922 British Mandate for Palestine, Article 6, encourages “close settlement by Jews on the land, including state lands and waste lands not required for public use.” Most Israeli settlements in the West Bank have been built on land that was state land under the Ottomans, British, Jordanians and, after the 1967 Six-Day War, under the Israelis, or on property that has been privately purchased.
The United States endorsed Article 6 by signing the 1924 Anglo-American Convention, a treaty stipulating acceptance of the mandate. The League of Nations is long gone, but Article 6 remains in force. The United Nations’ 1945 Charter, Article 80 — sometimes known as “the Palestine article” — notes among other things that “nothing in the charter shall be construed to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or peoples or the terms of existing international instruments.”
Eugene Rostow, U.S. undersecretary of State for President Lyndon Johnson — who is an authority on international law and the coauthor of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which outlines requirements for Arab-Israeli peace — reaffirmed this principle. In 1990, he said: “The Jewish right of settlement in the West Bank is conferred by the same provisions of the mandate under which Jews settled in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem before the state of Israel was created.”
As for Resolution 242’s call for “secure and recognized boundaries,” according to Rostow in 1991 in another piece, a careful look at the wrangling over the resolution in 1967 makes it clear that it did not mandate Israeli withdrawal from all of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and Sinai peninsula to the post-1948 armistice lines.
Many who allege that Jewish communities in the West Bank violate international law cite the 4th Geneva Convention, Article 49. It states that an occupying power “shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” But Julius Stone, like Rostow a leading legal theorist, wrote in his 1981 book, “Israel and Palestine: An Assault on the Law of Nations,” that the effort to designate Israeli settlements as illegal was a “subversion . . . of basic international law principles.”
Stone, Stephen Schwebel, a former judge on the International Court of Justice, and others have distinguished between territory acquired in an “aggressive conquest” (such as Nazi Germany’s seizures during World War II) and territory taken in self-defense (such as Israeli conquests in 1967).
The distinction is especially sharp when the territory acquired had been held illegally, as Jordan had held the West Bank, which it seized during the Arab states’ 1948-49 war against Israel.
Further, Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention was intended to outlaw the Nazi practice of forcibly transporting populations into or out of occupied territories to labor or death camps. Israelis were not forcibly transferred to the West Bank, nor were Palestinian Arabs forced out of it. Two years after President Carter’s State Department determined that Israeli settlements violated international law, President Reagan said flatly that they were “not illegal.”
One can argue, as Reagan did and Obama does, that Israel’s establishing towns in the disputed territories after 1967 obstructs diplomacy, or, as some Israeli critics do, that building Jewish communities near Palestinian Arab population centers disperses the country’s Jewish majority too widely. But one cannot accurately declare the settlements illegal.

this is bogus... chanukah and purim are two separate issues... both are holidays that will never be batul unlike most of the min hatorah yomim tovim which will fall away because the yeshuah from moshiach's arrival will make pale incomparisom the geulah rom mitzrayim...

but each of the rabbinic holidays serves a different purpose... each are necessary but each are unique... and both will be in play in the days before moshiach finally arrives... they each are commemorated not just to illustrate an historical nes and miraculous rescue that Hashem did for us but we are bidden to observe them because they signal to us maesa avot siman l'banim that each will be required to occur again to saveus from our enemirs...

the purim story is for the golah... we will need another purim miracle to be saved from destruction out here among the goyim... and the chanukah story is necessarily for the jews of eretz yisroel that they will need the courage to rise up against their own brethren who are blocking the way of the geulah shelaymah and that just as back then we will have to fight to liberate har habayit and all of the land from the modern-day tzedukim and hellenists who run the place into the ground at present and make Hashem angry more than we may ever know...

so chanukah is for the future salvation of eretz yisroel and purim for us among the goyim... keep this clear... nik. out...

Actually, nik, I spoke to Mordechai last night: it turns out he wrote this 4 years ago, and only decided to SEND it now. So it really was NOT written in honor of Chanukah. But I think his principles of change are very interesting, the 4 stages he is describing. Don't you think? A way to make change on the political scene, WITHOUT miracles - he says so, IN NATURE., Min Hateva, WITHOUT a ness.

Of course, we want NISSIM AND NIFLAOT AND TESHUOT. And the MILCHAMOT WILL COME WHETHER WE WANT THEM or not!

JEWS HAVE LEGAL TITLE TO JUDEA AND SAMARIA



"The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law" 


By William Mehlman
With The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law (Mazo Publishers, Jerusalem) Canadian-born Israeli constitutional scholar and lawyer Howard Grief has given us a book that shatters every myth, lie, misrepresentation and distortion employed over the 61 years of Israel's existence to negate the sovereign rights of the Jewish People to their national home.
It is a lengthy treatise - 660 pages plus a 50-page appendix - but the Jewish people's long and tortuous struggle to retrieve their stolen patrimony deserves nothing less than full disclosure. Anyone who has ever been at a loss to counter the slanders and calumnies that are the stock in trade of the Israel-bashers and anti-Semites on both the Left and Right will treasure every one of its 20 illuminating chapters.

Rooted in the premise that the best antidote to a myriad of small and medium sized fabrications is the exposure of the whole cloth from which they've been woven, The Legal Foundation lays bare two dominant myths that have shaped popular perspectives on Israel. The first is the fallacy that Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel was the joint product of the 1947 United Nations Partition and the May 15th, 1948 termination of the British Mandate for Palestine.

In fact, as Grief points out, Jewish sovereignty in Palestine had been validated under international law 28 years earlier.
"The legal title of the Jewish People to the mandated territory of Palestine in all of its historical parts," he informs us, was first recognized on April 24, 1920 when the post-World War I Allied Supreme Council (Britain, France, Italy and Japan), meeting in San Remo, Italy, "converted the 1917 'Balfour Declaration' into a binding legal document."
How "binding" may be construed from the fact that its wording gave effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations and became incorporated into the Mandate for Palestine.
Indeed, the "San Remo Resolution," within which the Allied Supreme Council's decision is contained, constitutes what the author terms "the foundation document of the State of Israel, the legal existence of which is directly traceable from that document."
That the Jewish People were unable to exercise their sovereignty in Palestine for 28 years - it being assigned to the British Mandatory power as their de facto agent - did in no way detract from their 'de jure' rights to the land under international law during that interregnum.
In this thesis, Grief is ironically supported by both a passionate Zionist, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis and one of Zionism's most implacable opponents, post World War I British Foreign Secretary Lord George Nathaniel Curzon.
Brandeis believed that with the passage of the San Remo Resolution, the debate over who owned Palestine was effectively over. Curzon called the Resolution the "Magna Carta" of the Jewish People.
From the initial mis-attribution of Jewish sovereignty in Palestine to the 1947 Partition Plan rather than the 1920 San Remo Resolution, it was just a hop and a skip to a second major mis-representation of Israel's international legal status - the erroneous assumption that the Partition Plan and the May 1948 termination of the British Mandate somehow erased the Jewish People's rights to Palestine in all its historical parts and dimensions enunciated at San Remo, and implemented under the terms of the League of Nations Covenant.
Those "parts and dimensions" were defined inter alia, as including the
northwestern portions of the Golan and most of present day Jordan by the "Franco-British Boundary Convention" in Paris.

The presumptive cancellation of those rights, Grief submits, is thoroughly discredited by "the principle of acquired rights," codified in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the "Law of Treaties," and the "doctrine of estoppel."
The first, he asserts, insures that "the fundamental rights of the Jewish people did not lapse with the international process which brought them into existence. The second further guarantees that these rights cannot simply be abrogated or denied by those states which previously recognized their existence."
Taken together, they provide what the author terms a "definitive answer anyone who claims that Jewish legal rights and title of sovereignty over all of Palestine and the land of Israel did not continue after the end of the Mandate for Palestine…except in the allotted boundaries of the UN Partition Plan…"
Noteworthy among the states that wholeheartedly endorsed Jewish sovereignty over Palestine in all its "historical parts and dimensions" was the United States of America - the same U.S.A that today regards Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria as an illegal "occupation" of lands upon which it favors the creation of a Palestinian State.
The Obama administration and the Bush administration that preceded it are either unaware or have chosen to be unaware of the fact that the 1924 Anglo-American Convention on Palestine made the U.S. a "contracting party" to the Mandate, further reinforcing a unanimously passed Joint Resolution of the 67th Congress two years earlier, signed by President Warren G. Harding, recognizing a future Jewish State in "the whole of Palestine."
It needs to be borne in mind, Grief notes, that the Mandate for Palestine that was ceremoniously incorporated into U.S. law in 1924 "was a constitution for the projected Jewish state that made no provision for an Arab state and which especially prohibited the partition of the country."
Thus, he concludes, the fierce exception the U.S. has taken to Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and its unremitting pressure for creation of a "Palestinian State" amount to a repudiation of its signature to the Anglo-American Convention on Palestine. It is in violation of American law and America's obligations under international law.
The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law is the product of 25 years of independent research by Grief, a former adviser on international law to the late Professor Yuval Ne'eman, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure in the Shamir government and the father of Israel's nuclear energy program. It is the kind of seminal work that seems destined to become both an indispensable source for defenders of Israel's rights under international law and a mirror on the events and personalities that transformed a November 2, 1917 letter from British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur James Balfour to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild into the trumpet call that awakened Jewish nationhood from a 1,900-year coma.
The author's unsparing portrayal of France's opposition to the creation of a Jewish state at San Remo and, when thwarted, its efforts at the Franco-British Boundary Convention to confine it to the narrowest geographical limits, should dismiss any notion that French anti-Zionism began with De Gaulle.
By the same token, the Zionist sympathies attributed to Winston Churchill by Martin Gilbert and other historians withers in the face of the 1922 "White Paper" attached to his name as then Colonial Secretary. Grief offers irrefutable evidence of its having not only "negated" the Jewish state in Palestine that the Mandate "required" of Britain, but of having elevated "Arab pretensions and aspirations to such an extent that everything thereafter became muddled…subject to continuous disputes as to what was really intended in the Mandate for Palestine."
For the actual authorship of that document and the wreckage it made of the original plan for the establishment of a Jewish state in all its "historic parts and dimensions" under British tutelage, we have Herbert Samuel to thank the same Herbert Samuel who worked closely with Chaim Weizmann in the Zionist Organization and was later to pack it in for a "Lordship" and an appointment as British High Commissioner to Palestine.
In ironic contrast, Lord Curzon, Balfour's successor as Foreign Secretary, who "detested" the idea of a Jewish state, put loyalty above personal feelings at San Remo and Paris in arguing manfully for the realization of Prime Minister David Lloyd George's vision of a Jewish state comprised of all its ancient Biblical territories.
On the Jewish side, nobody comes off better in this saga than Brandeis, who Grief portrays as "the only Zionist leader…who properly understood the natural consequences of the legal recognition of the Balfour Declaration embodied in the San Remo Resolution."
Had Brandeis headed the Zionist Organization, the author believes, "there is little doubt that he would have successfully halted Britain's gross violation of its obligation …to rebuild the Jewish state."
At the end of the day, it was Menachem Begin who provided the most heartbreaking counterpoint to Lloyd George's vision of a Jewish state reconstituted in most, if not all of its Biblical parts, Grief submits. Begin, national Zionism's anointed champion, bearer of the torch lit by Herzl and passed to Jabotinsky, not only failed to make Israel constitutionally whole by annexing Judea, Samaria and Gaza (as he was expected to do), but in what the author describes as an act of "unimaginable folly," brought to the Knesset in 1977 a plan to establish Arab "self-rule" over those critical portions of the Jewish estate. In so doing, he opened the portals wide for their identification as "unalloted," "disputed" and finally "occupied" territories.
Nine months later, in September 1978, Begin crowned his "achievement" by injecting the "self-rule" proposal into the negotiations with Egypt at Camp David, offering to leave the final determination of sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and Gaza to their inhabitants and "local representatives."
Thirty one years later, Israel remains bedeviled by that fateful decision.

Jewish legal rights to Judea and Samaria

By Ted Belman
I attended a lecture two years ago by Jacques Gauthier, a Canadian Lawyer who just received his PhD after twenty years of research on the legal status of Jerusalem and the writing of a dissertation of some 1300 pages with 3000 footnotes. He had to present his thesis to a panel of two leading international lawyers and one world famous Jewish historian. The reason for so many footnotes was to enable him to defend his thesis from intense attack by one of the lawyers who happened to be Jewish anti-Zionist and who had represented the PA on numerous occasions. Gauthier is not Jewish.
Here’s what he said in point form,
1. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 started the whole process but it didn’t create international legal rights.
2. The San Remo decision made on 25 April 1920, incorporated the Balfour Declaration of 19171 and Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations. It was the basic decision upon which the Mandate for Palestine was constructed. While the decision made at San Remo created the Palestine Mandate de-facto, the mandate document signed by Great Britain as the Mandatory and the League of Nations made it de-jure. It thus became a binding treaty in international law.

    The High Contracting Parties agree to entrust, by application of the provisions of Article 22, the administration of Palestine, within such boundaries as may be determined by the Principal Allied Powers, to a Mandatory, to be selected by the said Powers. The Mandatory will be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 8, 1917, by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
He pointed out that the Arabs weren’t even mentioned but that civil and religious rights only were accorded other inhabitants. This thereby excludes political rights.
3. Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations provides for the creation of mandates.
    To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the States which formerly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be applied the principle that the well-being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilisation and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this Covenant.
The legal significance here is that “the well-being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilisation”. The Mandatory Power was the trustee of that trust.
4 The Palestine Mandate of the League of Nations, included the following significant recital,
    “Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;
This had never happened before in history. Palestine was to be held for the Jewish people wherever they lived. No such recognition had ever been according to anyone else, anywhere, ever.
ART. 2. The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the civil and religious rights of all the inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective of race and religion.
Thus the operative clause specifically referred to the preamble, reiterated that there were no political rights for other inhabitants.

ART. 5. The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.
ART. 6. The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.
5. The United Nations took over from the failed League of Nations in 1945 and its Charter included
Article: 80 .. nothing in this Chapter shall be construed in or of itself to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments to which Members of the United Nations may respectively be parties.
Thus the Palestine Mandate continued under the United Nations without change.

6. In 1947, the General Assembly of the UN passed Res 181 which became known as the Partition Plan pursuant to which both Jews and Arabs could announce their state.
First it must be noted that the Charter of the UN specifically gave no power to the General Assembly because that would infringe on the sovereign power of individual members. So the GA could recommend only. Secondly, this recommendation was in violation of the terms of the Mandate. See Art 5 above.
This resolution also provided for a Special Regime for Jerusalem which had the following defined boundaries,
    A. SPECIAL REGIME The City of Jerusalem shall be established as a corpus separatum under a special international regime and shall be administered by the United Nations. The Trusteeship Council shall be designated to discharge the responsibilities of the Administering Authority on behalf of the United Nations. B. BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY The City of Jerusalem shall include the present municipality of Jerusalem plus the surrounding villages and towns, the most eastern of which shall be Abu Dis; the most southern, Bethlehem; the most western, ‘Ein Karim (including also the built-up area of Motsa); and the most northern Shu’fat, as indicated on the attached sketch-map (annex B).
But this regime was to be limited in time. It was not to be an “international city” for all time as we have been lead to believe.
    The Statute elaborated by the Trusteeship Council the aforementioned principles shall come into force not later than 1 October 1948. It shall remain in force in the first instance for a period of ten years, unless the Trusteeship Council finds it necessary to undertake a re-examination of these provisions at an earlier date. After the expiration of this period the whole scheme shall be subject to examination by the Trusteeship Council in the light of experience acquired with its functioning. The residents the City shall be then free to express by means of a referendum their wishes as to possible modifications of regime of the City.
This provision for a referendum was of critical importance to the acceptance of Res 181 by Ben Gurion. He knew that the Jews were in a majority within these boundaries and would be in 10 years when the referendum was to be held. Thus he was confidant that Jerusalem would return to Jewish hands.
Keep in mind that the disposition of this area was to be determined not by Israel but by the residents of Jerusalem so defined. Currently the Jews have a 2:1 majority there.
Needless to say that after the Armistice Agreement of ‘49 the Jordanians who were in control of Jerusalem violated every provision of this resolution calling for among other things respect for holy places. The referendum never took place.
After the ‘67 war in which Israel regained the land to the Jordan including Jerusalem, Res 242 of the Security Council was passed authorizing Israel to remain in possession of all the land until they had “secure and recognized boundaries”. It did not require Israel to withdraw from all of the territories and it was silent on Jerusalem.
Also it “Affirms further the necessity for achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem”. There was no reference to Res 194 nor was there a distinction made between Jewish and Arab refugees.

I would like to stress one more thing.
By virtue of this preamble
    “Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country;
in the Mandate, the United Nations, the League’s successor, has recognized the Jewish historical rights to reconstitute their national home in Palestine. That’s Zionism. “Zion” is Jerusalem.
Thus the UN has recognized Jerusalem as the home of the Jewish people.
His lecture did not cover the following salient events which need recalling.
Prior to the signing of the Mandate, However, in 1921, the British took off the “East Bank” from Jewish Palestine, enlarged the territory eastward up to the borders of Mesopotamia (Iraq), and gave the whole thing to Abdullah. Unfortunately, the final signing of the Mandate happened only in July, 1922, and the British included in it a provision to prevent Jews from settling anywhere east of the Jordan River (Article 25). This provision was supposed to be temporary, but it lasted to this day.
The east bank represented 77% of Palestine so the Jews only got 23%. In addition the British also gave the southern Golan which was promised to the Jews, to the Syrian Mandate.
In doing so Britain, the Mandatory Power violated Articles 5 and 27 of the Mandate.
ART. 5. “The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.”
ART. 27: The Mandatory had no right to amend the Mandate terms without the full consent of the League of Nations or its Mandates Commission.

Jerusalem in “Mandate” Time
Two distinct issues exist: the issue of Jerusalem and the issue of the Holy Places.
Cambridge Professor Sir Elihu Lauterpacht, Judge ad hoc of the International Court of Justice and a renowned editor of one of the ‘bibles’ of international law, International Law Reports has said:
    “Not only are the two problems separate; they are also quite distinct in nature from one another. So far as the Holy Places are concerned, the question is for the most part one of assuring respect for the existing interests of the three religions and of providing the necessary guarantees of freedom of access, worship, and religious administration [E.H., as14 mandated in Article 13 and 14 of the “Mandate for Palestine”] … As far as the City of Jerusalem itself is concerned, the question is one of establishing an effective administration of the City which can protect the rights of the various elements of its permanent population— Christian, Arab and Jewish—and ensure the governmental stability and physical security which are essential requirements for the city of the Holy Places.”27
The notion of internationalizing Jerusalem was never part of the “Mandate”. Nothing was said in the Mandate about the internationalization of Jerusalem. Indeed Jerusalem as such is not mentioned—though the Holy Places are. And this in itself is a fact of relevance now. For it shows that in 1922 there was no inclination to identify the question of the Holy Places with that of the internationalization of Jerusalem.”28
Jerusalem the spiritual, political, and historical capital of the Jewish people has served, and still serves, as the political capital of only one nation—the one belonging to the Jewish people.
Jerusalem, a city in Palestine, was and is an undisputed part of the Jewish National Home.
Jewish Rights to Palestine Were Internationally Guaranteed
In the first Report of the High Commissioner on the Administration of Palestine (1920-1925) presented to the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, published in April 1925, the most senior official of the Mandate, the High Commissioner for Palestine, underscored how international guarantees for the existence of a Jewish National Home in Palestine were achieved:
    “The Declaration was endorsed at the time by several of the Allied Governments; it was reaffirmed by the Conference of the Principal Allied Powers at San Remo in 1920; it was subsequently endorsed by unanimous resolutions of both Houses of the Congress of the United States; it was embodied in the Mandate for Palestine approved by the League of Nations in 1922; it was declared, in a formal statement of policy issued by the Colonial Secretary in the same year, ‘not to be susceptible of change.’ ”29
United States Government and the “Mandate” Policy
Despite not being a member of the League, the U.S. Government
claimed on November 20, 1920 that the participation of the United States in WWI entitled it to be consulted as to the terms of the Mandate. The British Government agreed, and the outcome was an agreement calling to safeguard the American interests in Palestine. It concluded with a convention between the United Kingdom and the United States of America, signed on December 3, 1924.

It is imperative to note that the convention incorporated the complete text of the “Mandate for Palestine,” including the preamble!30 President Wilson was the first American president to support modern Zionism and Britain’s efforts for the creation of a National Home for Jews in Palestine (the text of the Balfour Declaration had been submitted to President Wilson and had been approved by him before its publication).
President Wilson expressed his deep belief in the eventuality of the creation of a Jewish State:
    “I am persuaded,” said President Wilson on March 3rd, 1919, “that the Allied nations, with the fullest concurrence of our own Government and people, are agreed that in Palestine shall be laid the foundation of a Jewish Commonwealth.”31
On June 30, 1922, a joint resolution of both Houses of Congress of the United States unanimously endorsed the “Mandate for Palestine,” confirming the irrevocable right of Jews to settle in the area of Palestine—anywhere between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea:
    “Favoring the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the United States of America favors the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which should prejudice the civil and religious rights of Christian and all other non-Jewish communities in Palestine, and that the holy places and religious buildings and sites in Palestine shall be adequately protected.”32
The “Mandate for Palestine” is Valid to This Day
The Mandate survived the demise of the League of Nations. Article 80 of the UN Charter implicitly recognizes the “Mandate for Palestine” of the League of Nations.
This Mandate granted Jews the irrevocable right to settle anywhere in Palestine, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, a right unaltered in international law and valid to this day.
Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria (i.e. the West Bank), Gaza and the whole of Jerusalem are legal.
**************************
I will leave it to another article to set out why the passing of Res 181 or Res 242 or the signing of the Oslo Accords did not diminish or derogate from the rights of the Jews to the land,

I would also like to point out that Howard Grief did independent research for his book “The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law” in which he came to similar conclusions.
