Reassessment?

By Mike Packer

Firstly I would like to thank Robert J.Avrech of Seraphic Secret for imbuing in me a little motivation. He and his family are an inspiration to us all and I am honored to have come across his blog.

Secondly I won't write about Helen Thomas as others have lowered their standards enough to give her a platform.

And now we come to the meat of the subject, I read a newsletter today from Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors a blogsite that I came across due to the untimely death of my friend Tsafrir Ronen z"l. I am always happy to get their newsletter although the content does not always allow much happiness through no fault of the writers.

. Yesterdays newsletter by M.K. Dr. Arieh Eldad was about reassessing American/Israeli (A/I) relations. He starts his piece about how Rabin and Kissinger bashed heads in 1975 but then goes on to say that the current A/I crisis has to be re-evaluated, but lets get back to this a little further down.

Here I would like to evaluate Americas current administrations behavior in recent weeks. Lets start in chronological order with the building of a steel wall on the border between Egypt and Gaza:

I presume that you, informed reader, know that Egypt has imposed its own blockade of Gaza because it is scared of the Hamas mafia ruling that cursed strip of land on the Mediterranean coast. Well America, in its magnanimous generosity, offered to assist Egypt to the tune of half a billion dollars and the Army Corps of Engineers. Due to Hamas interference and assistance from Iran and Hizbollah this American assistance has now been removed and the Corps recalled bringing Egypt's blockade to its demise, that incident is covered by Debkafile here, this brings the blockade down to Israeli enforcement and causes B.H.Obama to call that blockade "unsustainable".

Hmmmm, things are starting to smell fishy.

Washington is now pressuring Israel to include International observers in an investigating committee over the "peace flotilla" incident. According to Debkafile this is offering Bibi Netanyahu a loaded gun so he can commit domestic political suicide. Now if that constitutes gross meddling in the affairs of another sovereign country and a loyal ally at that what does? I would urge Bibi not to accept because we were well within our rights to apply that blockade and the investigation committee should be an internal one so that we can bring our Minister of Defense to justice.

Hmmm, things are starting to positively stink.

Now how about these sanctions imposed on Iran by the UN? who is going to confirm that these sanctions are being obeyed by all UN member countries? What methods will be used to enforce these sanctions?

Well, how about a maritime blockade? ooops! sorry, that's illegal isn't it, I mean no one is at war with Iran, yet, right? So you big windbags in the UN, US, EU with your holier-than-thou attitudes what's your answer? will you go the way of Israel, G-d forbid, will you shake your index finger at the ayatollahs and say "don't be bad boys,now". Nah, you won't do a thing because you don't have the manhood for it, you will never put your mouth where your money is you will leave it to the Jews to fight your battles for you as they have been for the last 40 years!!! and then condemn them for doing so.

So Mr. Obama, you got your sanctions now what are you going to do with them, I hope that you don't come looking to us for help because you might get your sorry ass kicked all the way home!

So to get back to reassessment in the light of what I have written above. Why should Israel trust the American administration anymore? They have reneged on their promises to curtail smuggling across the Sinai border by implementing Egypt's blockade and then abrogating their responsibilities . They have stabbed Israel in the back with their so-called support in the UN on the "peace flotilla".

Which brings me all back to the following:

Koran 3:28 :
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah , except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.

This is loosely translated to mean that you should not befriend non-believers and is one of the bedrock surahs of Islam.
Well, now what have we to say about the US adminstration not living up to its written or verbal agreements with Israel since Barak Hussein Obama was elected into office.

Sorry America you just aren't a reliable friend anymore

Insult, Shminsult!

By

Mike Packer

Just a few weeks ago US Vice President Joe Biden visited my lovely country as is customary between "friendly" nations. It wasn't long before things turned nasty and dear old Joe was all afluster by some perceived insult.

He took umbrage at a statement by the planning department of the Municipality of Jerusalem that declared its intentions to build 1600 housing units in one of our capital city's northern suburbs. This declaration is just a continuance of a project that has been in the planning stage for a number of years and will be in the planning stage for several more before actual building commences.

.So, lets take a look at this "insult" that so tilted Joey's nose that even Hilary got on the band wagon. The illustrious US Secretary of State said:

“it was not only an insult to Biden, but an insult to the United States.”

well, la di dah.

I would like to remind Hilary Clinton that just two and a half short years ago she wrote:

"believes that Israel’s right to exist in safety as a Jewish state, with defensible borders and an undivided Jerusalem as its capital, secure from violence and terrorism, must never be questioned.”

Yeh, right, so who is insulting whom?

Joe Biden, another two-faced political whore has not once, not twice but three times endorsed the City of Jerusalem as the undivided Capital of the State of Israel:

in 1990 as a senator he co-sponsored Senate Concurrent Resolution 106:

Whereas ambiguous statements by the Government of the United States concerning the right of Jews to live in all parts of Jerusalem raise concerns in Israel that Jerusalem might one day be re-divided and access to religious sites in Jerusalem denied to Israeli citizens; and

Whereas such concerns inhibit and complicate the search for a lasting peace in the region: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Congress–

(1) acknowledges that Jerusalem is and should remain the capital of the State of Israel;

(2) strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic religious group are protected; and

(3) calls upon all parties involved in the search for peace to maintain their strong efforts to bring about negotiations between Israel and Palestinian representatives.


In 1992 he co-sponsored Senate Consecutive Resolution 113:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Congress–

(1) congratulates the residents of Jerusalem and the people of Israel on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the reunification of that historic city;

(2) strongly believes that Jerusalem must remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected as they have been by Israel during the past twenty-five years; and

(3) calls upon the President and the Secretary of State to issue an unequivocal statement in support of these principle


To add insult to injury Joe Biden even co-sponsored the Jerusalem Embassy Act which states:

(a) STATEMENT OF THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES-

(1) Jerusalem should remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected;

(2) Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel;

So, Mr. Vice President, what's got your knickers in a knot? You are, or were, a supporter of Jerusalem as an undivided city and Capital of the State of Israel and now you are "insulted".

Who is insulting whom?

It is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that the US Administration has gone over, completely, to the Arab camp and has thrown its only friend in the Middle East to the dogs.

The United States has been degraded to a State that can no longer be relied upon to stand by its commitments and promises and has become, under the current Administration, a dishonest entity.

If I was an American citizen I would be up in arms against the foreign policy of the Obama Administration that has started apologizing for the fact that it helped rescue (with great honor) Europe and the Far East from destruction just over 60 years ago, up in arms against the Administrations policy of alienating its friends for so called "allies" in the Arab world.

It is time Americans woke up before it becomes too late.

Fair weather Friends?

By
Mike Packer


I haven't posted anything for a while because whatever I wanted to say was being covered by so many other people a whole lot better at it than me so I left it up to them.

Saying that, there is something that's riling me at the moment and that's the attempts by the Arabs to delegitimize and erase any trace of the religion of my people! The first monotheistic religion that has been around for five thousand years and gave birth to two others.

.Those two others are Christianity and Islam. Christianity evolved from the teachings of a Jew from Galilee into the faith that bears His name today. The second religion was, basically, stolen from us 3400 years after we were firmly established in our faith. My accusation of theft is based on the fact that the founder of this religion (he who must not be named) in his travels around the Middle East in his younger days was exposed to both of the monotheistic religions in the region at the time. Being on the border of insanity as he was he decided to form his own religion but came to the conclusion that to call himself G-d would bring ridicule upon himself he decided to call himself a prophet. He chose the Jewish faith as the basis for his dogma and usurped all out prophets and teachers and rewrote the bible to his own liking.

Over the eons Christianity has evolved into the religion of "Peace", "Love your neighbour as yourself", "blessed are the meek", etc. whereas Islam has still a long way to go to educate its followers in what a tolerant religion and a "religion of Peace" actually is. It has to learn that in this day and age that marauding gangs of religious fanatics that try and coerce people into converting to their religion is not accepted anymore. The dark ages have long gone the way of the Dodo and they should try and get on to the same page as the rest of us.

In Muslim countries other religions are barely tolerated if not illegal. Saudi Arabia for all its airs and graces trying to hobnob with Old World royalty or cultured scions of high finance should be made to remember that 80 years ago they were dirt poor goat farmers living in tents and no amount of money will take the smell out of their clothes. But, lo, along comes oil and the western world is brown nosing for all it's worth.

Has all this money bought any tolerance? No, on the contrary, it has allowed the goat herders to buy modern weapons and pursue their intentions with gusto and the EU, Russia and the US are applauding them from the wings! One would have thought that with western money a touch of culture would transfuse into the "Religion of Peace". But, no, as any Christian who dares to bring a bible into Saudi Arabia will soon find out or any Bhuddist in Afghanistan, or Hindu in Pakistan, or Jew in the land of their forefathers.

Smoothstone blog wrote the following:

The Obama administration criticized Israel Wednesday for designating two Jewish holy sites supposedly on Palestinian territory as Israel national heritage sites but the dumb bastards in the Obama administration seem to forget that Rachel’s Tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs are indigenous to the Jewish people and were there thousands of years before the fabricated “Palestinians” fraudulently claimed the territory to be theirs. “Hebron” is Jewish. It’s a Biblical town. It is Israel’s most ancient city, resting place of Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah, site of the anointment of King David and the tombs of Jesse, his father, and Ruth, and until 1929, when Arabs slaughtered 67 innocent Jews while praying in their synagogue, had a significant Jewish population. Those 67 Jews were slaughtered for no other reason other than that they were Jews and mind you, that was 38 years before the “occupation”. For Muslims and their apologists in the White House, history starts anew each day especially when it favors the fabricated “poorpalestinianpeepull”. Sad, isn’t it, that the Arabs, who control more land than any other ethnic group on the planet besides the Russians, are simply unwilling to share even the tiniest sliver of the Middle East with the Jews. Equally sad, is the United States telling Israel, a sovereign and legitimate nation, what it can or cannot do within its own borders.


The names mentioned above Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Jesse, Ruth, are all Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs who died thousands of years before the birth of He Who Must Not Be Named and have no connection with Islam whatsoever except for the fact that they were stolen from our bible. Another religious crime is the fact that the Arabs posing as a non-existant people called "palestinians" have been trying to erase all evidence of Jewish presence on the Temple Mount where the first and second Jewish temples were built and destroyed thousands of years before the birth of Islam and the Arabs.

The Arab claim to Jerusalem is false. It was never an Arab city nor the capital of an Arab state nor is it really a true holy city to Islam. The Jewish religion considers Jerusalem the central point of its faith, it is towards Jerusalem we pray five times a day. At all Jewish weddings the words "if I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its cunning" and at this time of year at the end of our Passover meal we recite the words "next year in Jerusalem the rebuilt". Jerusalem is the Capital of the State of Israel and the recent, ugly, insulting pressure being applied on us to relinquish our beloved city into the hands of Arabs who are intent on finishing the Third Reich's work is intolerable.

To add insult to injury todays newsletter from Arutz Sheva (Israel National News) has the following:

A senior PA official claims that the Obama administration backs pro-PA rallies in Jerusalem. The claim was reported by investigative journalist Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily. According to the official, United States diplomats have encouraged Arabs to protest in parts of Israel's capital in order to pressure Israel to evacuate neighborhoods. The US administration does not recognize Israel's claim to key parts of the capital, including much of eastern and northern Jerusalem as well as the Old City and City of David.

So, I ask you, is this the act of a friend? What right does the current US Administration have in trying to alter the status of our Capital city?

I would like to remind you, dear reader, that between the years 1948-1967 the eastern part of Jerusalem was occupied, illegally by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan during a war of aggression against the fledgling State of Israel. During that occupation the most Holy sites for two of the three monotheistic religions were restricted areas in violation of the UN Mandate for Palestine. In 1967 during the Six Day War Israel reclaimed the city and opened the religious sites for all religions to worship freely including Islam.

If only that freedom was reciprocal. The Jewish worshippers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron under the authority of the PA is constantly being harassed and after the Israeli Government declared the Tomb a Jewish Heritage site Moslems started rioting as they did when the rebuilt Hurva Synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem (destroyed by the Jordanians during their occupation) or as they do every Friday when Jews attempt to pray on the Temple Mount which the Muslims deem verboten to Jews.

So why is it that our "friends" in Europe and the United States find it necessary to delegitimize our desire to practice our faith in our homeland? Is it because deep down inside they are jealous that after five thousand years our faith is still going strong? Do they find that the ghetto Jew shouldn't be protecting himself like he didn't in WWII?

Well, my friends, I have one thing to say; we are here and here we'll stay. We have endured worse hardships than what you are throwing at us now and have survived.

Jordan's purge

by

Mike Packer



Debkafile has a new post today (here) about King Abdullah of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He has decided to purge his army and government of "Palestinians". This is surely a sign that he is very afraid of the "Palestinian" element in his country where they constitute over 50% of the total population.

In my opinion this is just another form of pressure on Israel to create a second "Palestinian" state in the Middle East, the first being the Kingdom of Jordan itself. It is apparent that the Arab strategy is to force the International Community to believe that the "Palestinians" have nowhere to go which is very far from the truth as most "Palestinians" are originally from the states in the area neighboring Israel such as Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and as far away as Morocco and Algeria. Abdullah's attempt to keep the "Palestinians" as perpetual "refugees" is just a continuation of the status quo that started in the 1930's and continues to this day. Not only has he decided to purge the army and government but he has decided to rescind the Jordanian citizenship that was granted to the "Palestinians" that moved to Jordan since 1948.

Israel must reconsider its "peace" treaty with Jordan and take steps in deporting all Jordanian citizens from land under Israeli jurisdiction. Maybe this threat will change Abdullah's mind, although I doubt it, and put the pressure on this upstart king into accepting the fact that his country was created for the specific purpose of ensuring a state for the population that was there at the time of the formation of the Hashemite Kingdom and not only for the population of Beduins that the Hashemites imported to bolster their kingdom.

Its about time that Abdullah realized that his Kingdom is still in existence only because Israel has always been there to protect it as it did with his father and the formation of a "Palestinian" state in the "West Bank" is his worst nightmare. Read more!
