Rabbis for Sabeel

In the LA Jewish Journal of March 7, 2008 was published a letter signed by two rabbis who attended the Sabeel Institute conference in All Saints Church in Pasadena last month. In their letter they made a statement that they did NOT see any violent expression against Israel.
AMAZING GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because I have a detailed summary of other participants of the one and same conference. It contains the mames of the presentors, names of movies presented, names of books sold and summaries of the different presentations. In all of them without exception Israel is the aggressor. No mention to the 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973 wars that brought about the current situation. Just as I described in Anna Baltzer's presentation. Basically the following is the summary of the conference.

ISRAEL ACTS LIKE THE ROMANS DID TOWARDS JESUS (the facts that all the Jews were treated the same way, is not mentioned). THE INNOCENT PALESTINIANS DO NOT KNOW WHY THEIR HOMES ARE DEMOLISHED NOR THE REASON FOR THE CONSTRUCTON OF THE WALL (paid by American tax payers). ALL THE PEACEFULL PALESTINIANS WANT IS THAT THE ZIONISTS GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND LEAVE ALL THEY BUILT BEHIND INTACT.

I wonder why the presentors failed to mention the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973 that brought about the current situation. Why was there no mention to all the attempts of peace accords that were not signed by their leaders?

Well, I had the dubious honor of teaching the daughter of one of the "Journal Rabbis" many years back. Years later she became a teacher in one of L.A. Jewish high schools. She was fired soon after because instead to teaching according to the curriculum she spent hours telling her students about her wonderful experiences in the summers she spent in Palestinian villages and how she contributed more than just her time. She could never understand why the parents were outraged. It's no wonder, her father could find no wrong in the Sabeel conference either.

I wrote to the father, but received no response. Likewise, I wrote to the Journal editor, my letter was neither responded nor acknowledged. Well, TRUTH HURTS.

New breed of enemy III

Continuation of Anna Baltzer presentation and the questions I was not allowed to ask. (In parenthesis I will provide the answers)

750,000 Palestinian Arabs were evicted from their land before the creation of the State of Israel by Zionist plotters.

Q: Who ruled Palestine before 1948 (Great Britain)

Q: Would the British allow the Zionist evil-doers to evict Palestinian Arabs? (History can attest to the fact that the Britts favored the Arabs. Fact, upon leaving they handed the Arabs the weapon arsenals as well as the Police fortifications)

Since 1948 Israel has gradually expanded it territory and left just small isolated pockets of land for the Palestinians.

Q: What caused this expansion? Could it be the results of the wars in 1948? 1956? 1967? 1973?
Q: Who declared thos wars?

Anna Baltzer never mentioned those wars. In following blogs I will refer to other facts she failed to mention

New Breed of Enemy II

Continuation of the report

Settlements - Settlers are occuping Palestinian lands and building beautiful towns with schools and playgrounds for kids while Palestinians live in shacks.

Q: When did the settlers build the settlements? What was on that land before? Why didn't the Palestinians build schools and playground for their children in the past 60 years they lived on the land? Is it because they were prepping the kids to become suicide bombers?

Occupation - The Palestinians cannot move freely in their territories because of the many checkpoints guarded by Israel army.

Q: Could the reason for the checkpoints be a necessary precaution against terrorist actions performed by residents of that area that cost Israel many a life?
Does anyone remember the Oct. 2000 murder of two unarmed Israelis who entered by mistake Ramalla and consequently were butchered by a mob proudly displaying their bloodied hands through the window of the room where the two were cut up and their insides pulled out? See Time magazine cover of that month.

A new breed of enemy I

After the death of Arafat I received a shocking e-mail that included the photos of Orthodox Jews wearing Talitot in the colors of the Palestinian flag, weeping and morning the death of Arafat. Few weeks later a reception of Jews of the same sect had a royal reception in Iran. Well, it was easy to determine that we have enemies from within.

Yesterday I discovered a new breed of an "enemy from within". In this case I refer to Anna Baltzer and the likes of her. In the future I will provide information of the material shown in the DVD with her take on the situation, followed by the question(s) I intended to ask but was not allowed to do so.

ROADS - The well paved and maintained roads built by the Israeli government with the tax money of the American citizens vs. the poor roads in the Palestinians' side. Only Jews are allowed to use the first ones.

My Q: The Palestinians received assistance both from the U.S. and the U.N. why didn't they, under Arafat's benevolent rule pave their own roads? Are they waiting for the fall of Israel so that they can use the ready ones?

LICENSE PLATES - Jewish car license plates are of different color than the Palestinians.
My Qs: 1) Are the license plates of Israeli Arabs of different color than those of the Jews?
2) Don't the license plates of differnt states in the U.S. of differ in colors?

When "I am Jewish" is actually an alarm siren

As I posted previously, I was utterly concerned about the Sabeel conference in All Saints church in Pasadena. Today I discovered that my concern was justified. I didn't attend the 2 days conference, but I attended presentation of one of the lot. Her name was Anna Baltzer and she talked about her visit to Palestine. Mind you, not Israel, rather Palestine. She dedicates her efforts and energy to liberate the oppressed Palestinians from the cruel, discriminating and evil Israeli government. I went to the presentation sicker than a dog. I watched the heart wrenching DVD she sells to benefit the Palestinian cause. Everyone was a victim, they were uprooted by the vicious Zionist movement. Coyishly she said, " And no one can accuse me for being anti-Semitic because I am an American Jew.

I went to the presentation in Burbank; there were about eighty some attendees. A number of Middle Easterners, some Palestinians, most were Americans. I was the only Jew there. During the presentation I prepared a line of questions of which only one was dealt with and drew the reaction of a woman in the audience, " I am a Palestinian and if we wouldn't be here I'd kill you",she said.

The purpose of the event was to pass petitions among the attendees to request of their representatives in the Congress and the Senate to withdraw financial assistance from Israel and request to boycot businesses who deal with Israel.

" I am Jewish" represented a venomous weapon.

Peace Where Art Thou

In the 1930's, walking down European streets, one could see signs:
JEWS GO TO PALESTINE.
Of course not in Great Britain who blocked the entrance of Jews who tried to escape the imminent wave of hatred. Now the European signs, including Great Britain call:
JEWS GO OUT OF PALESTINE.

At present, what worries me is an up-coming seminar to be held in Pasadena, California, titled AL-NAKBA, Arabic for THE CATASTROPHE, referring to the creation of the State of Israel.
The subject matter is a peaceful solution to the Palestinian problem, does the title reflect peacful intentions?

The rector of the church attended a meeting in the Pasadena synagogue where he heard the concerns of members of the community who asked the seminar to be either cancelled or allow a platform for speakers who represent the other side. No, was the answer to both suggestions.
Furthermore, some Jewish attendees made comments that indicated their total ignorance of the reality of the Middle-East. Those bleeding hearts, who live in the security of this country have no qualms about sacrificing Israel on the altar of peace. Peace, where art thou?
