ISRAEL TRUTH TIMES

A blog dedicated to investigating events as they occur in Judea and Samaria, in Israel and in the world, and as they relate to global powers and/or to the Israeli government, public figures, etc. It is dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the headlines; and in so doing, it strives to do its part in saving Judea and Samaria, and by extension, Israel and the Jewish People, from utter destruction at the hands of its many external and internal enemies.

A first: Birthright - Taglit Australia in Hevron! Amazing, to think that YOSSI BEILIN is responsible for this. Hashem has His plans .....and, the famous "dancing soldiers".



See below: Taglit organizers are not too happy - I wouldn't have thought so! Ha, ha, they sure didn't expect that, did they?


And  while we are at it, this funny one, also in Hevron:




Oh, and by the way, about those captions in red: "Why are there no people on the street?" Look at the light of day: they are probably at home, either sleeping profoundly, if they have become as immune to the "little sheet heads" musack  as I have; or at home eating dinner with their many wives and dozens of kids...those are the times of day when light is barely visible, yet little sheet heads musack is blaring, piercing our eardrums..

And as far as King David Street, A.K.A. Shuhada Street, it is, for the most part, used by Jews, that is true; however, many leftist tourists can vouch that Arabs do use it to to go to prayers, if they have no other access. And WE are not allowed in many other parts of the 20% of the city allotted to us; in addition, why do those bleeding- heart Jew haters forget to mention that Area A of Hevron, which comprises 80% of the city, is ENTIRELY OFF LIMITS TO JEWS?

No end to anti-semitism, Jew hatred, and hateful propaganda.

GREETINGS FROM KIRYAT- ARBA HEVRON! It is beautiful here, the weather is amazing, summer is delightful.... all we need is to get rid of our "Offense minister" and his friends in high places, and we will be fine. Please do come and visit, just as those nice kids from Taglit  you saw did: I promise you'll love it!

UPDATE: the purse behind Taglit not too happy about the outcome:

Taglit-Birthright Group Visits Hebron for First Time

Tammuz 28, 5770, 10 July 10 11:40
(Israelnationalnews.com) It's against the policy of Taglit-Birthright Israel to visit Judea and Samaria. But a trip that ended this past week went to the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, making it the first one to do so since the program began in 2000.
The organizers of the group of college age students from Australia added Hebron to the official itinerary, and the group's tour guide verified it with the Taglit-Birthright office. Nevertheless, some heads of Birthright were less than pleased with the decision.
Jerusalem based tour guide Daniel Gutman lead the group and said he was just following the itinerary he was given, but was happy to do so. In an interview with Hebron spokesman David Wilder, Gutman said, "These are the roots of our people. I brought the descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to show them their birthright. I hope all Birthright groups come to Hebron to connect with the 'mammas and the pappas.'"
In an interview with The Forward, Gideon Mark, the Israeli-based CEO of Birthright stated, “out of the 750 groups that we have this year, only one went. Trip organizers submit proposals. We see if there is some rationale, and we submit it to the security services.”
Robert Aronson, head of the Birthright Israel Foundation stated the visit to Hebron, the burial site of the Biblical Matriarchs and Patriarchs was “clearly against Birthright policy.”

BP Catastrophe Part X: this is truly shocking. Just whom are these Republicans working for? Whose behinds are they covering - excuse the language? ( And I thought they were better....)



...Meanwhile,....

And then see this; if true, utterly shocking:





"Don't Tread on Me"....an important message: not here, and not there; not in the U.S.A., and not in Israel.

THIS is why Barak has to go. He has to be replaced, and the military rule over Israeli citizens abolished. Also: Petition prepared to incorporate the U.S. Second Amendment into the Basic Law of Israel.

 Housing Minister: Construction Freeze is in Barak’s Hands

Tammuz 22, 5770, 04 July 10 12:39
by Hillel Fendel
(Israelnationalnews.com) Who’s in charge of government policy – Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu or Defense Minister Ehud Barak? Though Netanyahu heads the second-largest party, the largest bloc of parties, and the government itself, Housing Minister Ariel Attias of Shas feels that it is Defense Minister Ehud Barak who has the power to make some of the more important decisions.
Barak heads the Labor Party, which is currently the Knesset’s fourth-largest party. It has lost more than two-thirds of its strength over the last 18 years, dropping in the last six Knesset elections, from 44 seats in 1992 to only 13 today.
Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov (Israel Our Home) said on Sunday, “We are a nationalist government; Labor joined [only] because it is used to sitting in the coalition, and will remain because it has nowhere else to go. We must respect the US which agree to the ten-month freeze, but at the end of the ten months, we must end the freeze.”
Despite this, it appears that Barak might have the final word. This follows from the fact that Judea and Samaria is officially under military rule. Housing Minister Attias told Voice of Israel Radio on Sunday, “Even if the freeze ends, we will not be able to release tenders for construction in Judea and Samaria if Barak does not sign the requests for construction that have been lying on his desk. Regardless of whether the freeze is extended or not, without Barak’s signature there will be no construction.”
At a conference in the Knesset last week on the construction freeze, Yesha Council head Danny Dayan said that Barak must be pressured to be more lenient on Jewish housing requests in Judea and Samaria. When MK Michael Ben-Ari said that Dayan should be assigning the responsibility to Netanyahu, Dayan agreed that it was not perfectly clear whether it was Netanyahu leading Barak or the opposite.


COMMENT:

That is why, as I keep repeating until I am blue in the face:

BARAK HAS TO GO
BARAK HAS TO GO
BARAK HAS TO GO

He has to be replaced. We have some good people who would make excellent defense ministers. Barak has to be ousted, as a first step, and then of course punished for his crimes against the Jews. Without doing that , we do NOT stand a chance of winning ANY war against ANY enemy.


 So, who is going to help get him ousted?


Please, do your part too.


Thank you.


UPDATE:

Police: More Yesha Expulsions On the Way

Tammuz 20, 5769, 12 July 09 10:54
by Yehudah Lev Kay
(Israelnationalnews.com) On Sunday morning, the police said they have plans to take down 11 buildings in Judea and Samaria. The announcement came less than a week after Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned he would take down 23 outposts.
Israel is demonstrating a will to meet the U.S. demands [to freeze construction in Judea and Samaria],” Barak said last week after meeting with U.S. envoy George Mitchell in London. The only concrete step the Defense Minister mentioned was “evacuating 23 outposts over the next few weeks and months.”The police did not take long to implement Barak’s policy in the field, and sent a letter to Samaria Council head Gershon Mesika warning him to take down 11 unauthorized buildings in several communities by Sunday, after which the police would do so themselves.
The 11 buildings are structures built in existing communities and outposts including Yitzhar, Havat Gilad, Har Bracha, Havot Yair, Itamar, and Mevo Dotan. In some cases, the buildings are nothing more than a ritual bath or a man-made pool, but in others they are residences.
“Ever since this government was established, the situation on the ground in Judea and Samaria has only gotten worse,” said Yossi Dagan, spokesman for the Samaria Council. “The Defense Ministry led by Ehud Barak is acting like an extension of the U.S. State Department and has not ceased to chase after the communities in Judea and Samaria and their residents.”
Activists on the ground report that the police have formed a new unit to deal exclusively with evacuations in Judea and Samaria. The force, which is composed of Border Guard police officers, regular police officers, elite police forces, and mounted units, recently trained for evacuation scenarios in the IDF Adam facility near Modi’in.
“The police are planning on starting with these 11 small sites in existing communities and then moving on to bigger evacuations,” said Akiva HaCohen, a Samaria activist. “This new unit has nothing to do with defense and nothing to do with terror. It was created exclusively to destroy Jewish sites in Judea and Samaria.”





MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzaleh) condemned the police’s decision to destroy structures in Judea and Samaria. “The police should focus first on the thousands of illegal Arab structures in the Negev and the Galilee,” he said on Army Radio. “I call on every family in Judea and Samaria to have another child this year,” he said, “and in 50 years there will be 1,000,000 people in Yesha.”


Make sure to read all the comments to the article....


...And my own comment to the above article:

Ketzaleh, who is supposed to represent us, is a hopeless wimp. Will he allow a MERCENARY ARMY to severely hurt, possibly and most likely KILL his fellow Jews, without peeping a word? Where is his fighting spirit? Where is his HOLY WAR FOR AM YISRAEL, AGAINST THIS INTERNAL ENEMY, THIS FIFTH COLUMN, THIS "DEFENSE MINISTER", WHO IS IN FACT A PROXY FOR THE EXTERNAL ENEMY, THE NWO?

Is Ketzaleh blind, or ignorant? Doesn't he KNOW WHO BARAK WORKS FOR? Is this unforgivable weakness on Ketzaleh's part, or is it just one more betrayal, by the very party that should defend our rights, the party of the LAND OF ISRAEL?

Is this the only response he can find: to have babies - how long does it take to make a baby?  We are talking IMMEDIATE DANGER HERE: why is he not addressing the REAL ISSUE?

 All the other right-wing and religious MK's, SHAME ON YOU TOO! Why don't you fight our war? What were you elected for? Whom do you represent? Will you let this crime go unchecked???

 UPDATE:

 Barak Gaining Influence, Meeting With Fayyad

Tammuz 23, 5770, 05 July 10 09:22
by Hillel Fendel
(Israelnationalnews.com) With declining influence in the party he leads, Defense Minister Ehud Barak  is assigned more responsibility within the government – meeting with PA prime minister Salam Fayyad today.
Barak Supports Unilateral Withdrawals
Though generally talks with foreign entities are led by the Foreign Minister, Defense Minister Barak is scheduled to meet with Fayyad at 1:30 this afternoon. No details have been provided on location or on the agenda to be discussed.

Famous for his unilateral withdrawal from Lebanon a decade ago, his offer of 98% of Judea and Samaria to Yasser Arafat seven years ago, and his recent praise for the unilateral withdrawal from Gaza of five years ago, Barak has apparently been recently assigned a position of strong influence in the Netanyahu government in the framework of talks with the Palestinian Authority. Barak told reporters last week that a meeting was to be held, and said, “This is not the first time we are meeting... I assume we will talk about the situation on the ground and security coordination.”
Netanyahu to WashingtonPrime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, on his way today (Monday) to Washington to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama, called yesterday for direct talks with the PA. He said that the time has come for PA chairman Abbas to meet with him directly. “One who wants peace is not afraid of direct talks,” he said.
More Pressure FearedIsrael agreed to a ten-month freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria simply in order to get the PA to agree to indirect talks. It is now feared that Israel will be pressured to agree to the continuation of the freeze in order to enable direct talks.
Barak Under Fire Within PartyBarak, for his part, has long been under fire within his own Labor Party, and tensions between him and others have intensified in recent days. Former party leader Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, currently the Industry and Trade Minister, yelled at Barak and threatened him in front of reporters and party members yesterday.

The issue concerned Ben-Eliezer’s secret meeting with Turkey’s Foreign Minister last week. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was not informed in advance of the meeting, and publicly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu for this. Barak, for his part, capitalized on the tensions by telling Lieberman and reporters that he had opposed the meeting – which angered Ben-Eliezer, who said that Barak had told him privately that he supported the meeting.
Barak does not enjoy great support within his abbreviated, 13-MK, left-wing faction. Many of the MKs do not support the party’s membership in the Netanyahu coalition.
On the nationalist side of the spectrum, Netanyahu has been criticized for giving Barak too much say in political matters, particularly the construction freeze. Barak has unilaterally expanded the freeze to include more than the original Cabinet decision stipulated.

 Things are not going well for us. Bibi is giving him even more power, while he is losing ground within his own party. I guess Bibi and Barak are on the same page after all. Not good!
    
We need to pray hard for the downfall of this big Rasha.

And, just on time for the Fourth of July, here is a very important comment sent by Anonymous:

One would imagine that in a self proclaimed "democracy" such as Israel, the US Constitution would serve as trail blazer for us as well.


My estimate is that many of the gruesome acts against civilians here would be rather reduced if the equivalent of the Second Amendment would be in place.

A little humor at "their" expense - they deserve it; but meanwhile this is anything but funny. During the 3 weeks, the enemy (without and within) has decided on a new SIEGE OF JERUSALEM.



 PA Thieves Drain Jewish Town Dry
by Maayana Miskin
PA Thieves Drain Jewish Town 
Dry

Sixty Jewish families living in the town of Pnei Hever, near Hevron, face a Sabbath without water due to Palestinian Authority water thieves. Officials at Mekorot, Israel's national water company, say they are unable to help.

Pnei Hever and other Jewish towns in the Hevron region have faced daily water theft for some time. PA Arabs drill into water pipes leading to the town every night, stealing an estimated 75% of the towns' water supply.

On Thursday night, PA thieves drilled into the pipes leading to Pnei Hever and rerouted the water supply. Residents of the village woke up Friday morning to find that they had only 10 cubic meters of water to split between hundreds of people.

As Mekorot workers said they could not help, residents turned to the Public Security Ministry and Ministry for National Infrastructure in the hope of getting assistance.

A similar incident took place last Thursday, when residents of Pnei Hever awoke to discover that nearly all of their water had been stolen overnight. Children were forced to go to school or daycare without so much as brushing their teeth or washing their hands.

Yigal Klein, head of the Pnei Hever secretariat, said the water theft phenomenon was a familiar one. A resident recently witnessed an Arab truck driver fiddling with a water pipe near the Jewish town of Susiya, he said. “Many times trucks fill up with water and drive to the [Arab] villages,” he said.

Some of the pipes bringing water to local Jewish villages pass through Arab villages, where residents do what they please with the water supply and the IDF's hands are tied, he said.

Water bills have risen repeatedly in the last few months with a 5% rise to take effect shortly.

"What's most worrisome is that we've been told to prepare for an entire summer like this,” he said. “Our regional council is trying to put pressure on the government ministries, on the Water Authority, on Mekorot, but we're getting the feeling that this is what's been decreed for us and there's nothing to do.”

Thanks to E.T. for both items


UPDATE:

No Water Again in Jewish Town Due to Arab Theft

Tammuz 25, 5770, 07 July 10 09:57
(Israelnationalnews.com) Another water stoppage in the Jewish town of Beit Hagai in the Har Hebron region due to water theft by PA Arabs.
Hebron Region Council Head, Zviki Bar Hai, said in response, "It's time the Defense Minister stopped worrying about easing conditions for the Palestinians, and worried more about supplying water to Jews and stopping its theft by Arabs."

Arabs Steal Water from Beit Hagai, Ma'alei Hever

Tammuz 26, 5770, 08 July 10 11:13
(Israelnationalnews.com) Water to the Jewish towns of Bet Hagai and Ma'alei Hever, in the southern Hevron hills, has been cut off since 6 PM Wednesday, due to illegal Arab activity. The Arabs have apparently tapped into a pipe that supplies water to the town and diverted it for their own use. The IDF has not attempted to stop the Arab water theft, and instead is supplying residents with water from tankers – although, residents say, that water is insufficient for their needs.

Water theft in the area is a common phenomenon, residents said. Officials of the town sent an emergency request to Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau to do something to prevent the thefts.



PS : And look who is calling the kettle black:


Arabs say Israel drying up regional water reserves

In conference of water minister from Arab states, Jordanian representative accuses Israel of 'stealing water' in West Bank, Lebanon, and Golan; suggests international campaign to clarify Arabs' water rights
Doron Peskin

It has been said that the next Middle East war will be fought over water. While other reasons for conflict have come up since this sentence was first uttered, the water issue remains a potent one and will likely remain on the agenda for the foreseeable future.

The water shortage in the Middle East is a threat to all the countries in the region. The wealthy states, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, found a solution in investing billions of dollars in water desalination plants.

Opposing View

Palestinians stealing water in West Bank / Shmulik Grossman

Irregular water supply on IDF bases, settlements near Mount Hebron has become routine recently. Via pirate connections to source, Palestinian neighbors are stealing millions of shekels of water per year. Situation growing worse
Full Story


The Middle East today is responsible for some 75% of the world's water desalination. However, the less wealthy countries in the region, without the deep pockets needed to fund the relatively pricey desalination, are in trouble.
In order to discuss the water crisis, water and irrigation ministers from the Arab states fathered in Cairo. Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa also attended the conference. During the panels, an accusatory finger was directed at Israel for drying up its neighbors resources and "stealing Arab water."
In his speech before the conference, Jordanian Water and Irrigation Minister Mohammad Najjar called on his Arab colleagues to join hands and work together to grapple with the Israeli "thefts." According to him, Israel uses 80% of the water from the West Bank and 30% of Lebanon's groundwater. He claimed that Israel is stealing the water via the Golan.



Najjar highlighted the severity of the water situation in the region, noting that 70% of the region's water is not local. He also mentioned that precipitation in the region accounts for just 2% of precipitation in the world. He called upon his colleagues to launch an international campaign clarifying the Arabs' water rights.
The conference took place as assessments indicate rising demand for water in Arab countries in light of the rapid population growth and economic development they are witnessing. Studies published recently in the Arab world indicated that an investment of at least $100-200 billion in the Arab water sector over the next few years is necessary in order to meet t he steadily rising demand.
During regional water conferences held in recent months, experts have demanded that the governments cutback or halt all together their subsidization of water prices in order to decrease water consumption and waste.


COMMENT:

It is of course deliberate, and our authorities, chief among them our OFFENSE MINISTER EHUD BARAK, are cooperating fully with this criminal assault on the Jewish People of Yesha.

Thank G-d, we do have water in Kiryat Arba for the time being - for how much longer?

If our government weren't an accomplice to this crime, not only we, but all of Israel would have more than enough water to supply all our needs. Our water shortage is artificial, and is created by A) letting the enemy help themselves, B) giving them water in addition, and in great quantities, and C) Mekorot etc. benefiting financially from higher water prices charged to Israelis.

This is a SIEGE of Jerusalem, again, before Tisha Be'av ( in this case, not Jerusalem, but the towns around Hevron). They figure they can get Jews to leave this way: they can't get us with their armies, it is easier and cheaper to simply cut off the water.

THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST US. We should retaliate accordingly, but don't count on it. 
Water battles go back to the days of Abraham, this is nothing new in this region. If we had a government FOR the people instead of AGAINST the people, it would REACT SEVERELY to this SEVERE ASSAULT on us, its citizens.

Until the people WAKE UP, and are WILLING TO FACE THEIR REAL ENEMY, THE GOVERNMENT BACKED BY OUR ENEMIES ON THE OUTSIDE, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

 SHmuel concurs:

"Little sheet heads" it is... :)
Water theft.  Indeed Barak is involved on it. A couple of bulldozers would cover the pipes to make it very difficult to steal.
Sabotage by Barak 100%. Netanyahu is by now just as guilty.
