Governors Committing to Israel and Against BDS

Nadene Goldfoot                                            
Portland, Oregon has been fighting against the BDS movement against Israel. This stands for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel.  The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.

The truth of the matter is that Israel is not oppressing the Palestinians.  In fact, they have done the very opposite, only to be viciously attacked by them since 1948 when Israel announced their statehood, as complying with the League of Nations in 1920 as well as the United Nations in 1947.

This group of Arabs, whose grandparents  used to call themselves Syrian Arabs, have been used as pawns by the leaders of other newly-formed and old Middle East Nations surrounding Israel.  They've been led by the terrorist, Arafat of Egypt, and now Abbas who has taken over since his death.  If anyone is oppressed it is these Arabs by Abbas, not by Israel, for he governs them, and does it very poorly.

Major wars broke out 5 minutes after Israel announced their independence from the mandate of Great Britain, whose 30 years of time was up.  Without even uniforms or an army, Israelis defended themselves as it was life and death for them with the Arabs chanting to drive them into the sea.  Following wars occurred in 1956 and then the big one in 1973.

 Countries who couldn't whip Israel and drive her into the sea have come up with this act to cripple Israel financially, which would even hurt her ability to pay her debts back to the USA besides harming herself.

Israel has been a country that has been most creative in developing businesses in order to support themselves.  Their biggest expense has been on defensive weapons bought from the USA.  Their own people, men and women, serve in the army called the IDF (Israel Defense Force).  The USA has not had to fight for them.  Now half of our states, by ignoring a request to join the movement AGAINST  this crippling force field are in truth  denying them the right to support themselves and not be a burden on anyone,  The money for defense, on the other hand, must all be spent in the USA in order to support their economy.

Anyone who has studied Israel's past and present history knows that this tiny country of only 6 million Jews and 1.7 million Arabs have not oppressed the Palestinian Arabs, but themselves have suffered and lost lives because of their histrionics used in the attempt to destroy Israel.

Oregon's governor is the 27th to sign on and be against BDS.  She's also running again on her Democratic ticket.

This means that 28  states have signed on to be against BDS as of this writing.  The District of Columbia where Washington DC sit has signed and is against BDS.   There are 22 more that could sign and join them against this most unfair act.  They are:

Past Action of Hezbollah Towards Jews Doesn't Deter Kerry

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                       

                   Nabih Berri, Speaker of Hezbollah dominated Lebanese parliament

In 1985, the year I flew back to Oregon from Israel, there was a TWA airline that I didn't take, thank goodness,  that flew on Friday, June 14th from Cairo to San Diego and onto Athens, Rome, Boston and finally Los Angeles.   It was Flight 847 and after going from Athens to Rome it was hijacked by Shia terrorists belonging to Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad, Shiite allies of Hezbollah and Amal.
                                                                             
They did this so they could demand that Shia prisoners being held in Kuwait, Israel and Spain would be released. Israel was holding 700 Shiite terrorists. Over several weeks, Israel did release over 700 prisoners but said it wasn't related to the hijacking.   They forced the plane to fly to Beirut, Lebanon and there they released 19 passengers before flying on to Algiers where they released 22 more.  Then it went back to Beirut.   One of the passengers remaining was a USA Navy diver, Robert Dean Stethem, and they beat him and shot him in the right temple  on June 15th.  It was plain murder for no reason other than he was a US serviceman.   They threw his body on the tarmac.
                                                                             
      Robert Dean Stethem, diver for US Navy Murdered  June 15, 1985 by Hijackers of TWA 847

Their demands were in in German as they spoke poor English.  :
                                                                   
Both the remaining passengers and crew had to endure a 3 day ordeal.  Some were threatened and beaten.  If their names sounded Jewish, they were separated from the others.  Then they were taken off the jet by Hezbollah and kept in Beirut.  All this was going on in the middle of Lebanon's Civil War.  

About 12 men from the Amal movement joined the hijackers on the jet and the pilot had to fly to Algiers again where 60 more were freed. Amal is a secular movement made up of Shiites who hold one seat more than Hezbollah in Lebanon's parliament.   The next day the jet returned to Beirut with 32 remaining passengers.  About 200 Lebanese Army soldiers left the area so that only the Hezbollah was in charge and had free reign.  They were afraid that the USA was planning a rescue of these passengers, so Hezbollah moved them off of the jet and kept them in different groups throughout Beirut.  Both terrorist groups mined the runways at the airport to stop any rescue attempt.  

By June 17th, the 3rd day,  Nabih Berri, Lebanese Minister of Justice and THE Amal leader took responsibility for the safety of the hostages and agreed to be the mediators.  Berri's men were holding most of the hostages and controlled the jet, so he freed them. 

Berri was a hero to his relatives who were living in the USA.  They were all in Dearborn, Michigan, USA or Dearbornistan, as he may have called it.  It's now known as Little Lebanon where he had more than 1,000 relatives, quite an extended family.  In the USA they've spelled their surname as Berry and had started immigrating in the 1920's from the village of Tibbnen in southern Lebanon.  They say that Berri's former wife, Lila, and 6 of his children live in Dearborn.

Nabih Berri is a French educated lawyer who is head of the Amal movement and is the leading spokesman for Lebanon's 1 million Shiites.  Lebanon has about 4,196,453 population and the others are 60% Sunni Muslims and Christians.  Nabih gave the order for the remaining hostages to be taken from the plane at Beirut and hidden around the city, so he is certainly a 2-faced individual, playing the hero while being part of the plot of hijacking.  
                                                                              

                                                           Dearborn, Michigan Mosque

Such a nice man.  Every 2 years he visits Dearborn with a green card which lets him live permanently in the USA if he wants.  Flight attendant Uli Derickson was widely credited with calming the hijackers and saving the lives of many passengers. She spoke German so could communicate with the hijackers.   She also hid the passports of Jewish passengers so they could not be singled out.  If she hadn't done that, you can bet they would all have met the same fate as the navy serviceman; murder.  

Now, guess who John Kerry, Secretary of the USA enjoyed the company of in a recent meeting on June 4th  and had quite a chat with?  His friend, Nabih Berri, still head of the Amal Movement and who is in the Hezbollah parliament.  Kerry had flown to Lebanon to supposedly tell their government to pick a president quickly, but most of the pundits feel it was to give a message to Israel by doing so of "See what is happening because you wouldn't listen to me?"  The USA is the first to recognize Palestine as a state under raunchy conditions without any guarantees of peaceful intentions to Israel.  Netanyahu is pleading with European nations not to follow suit.    

I haven't mentioned Sunni Islam in Lebanon.  One third of the Muslims are Sunnis.  I haven't seen them mentioned as belonging to the terrorists.  The government of Lebanon, once known as the Paris of the Middle East, had a unique makeup.  "Since resolved, Lebanon’s fragile peace is dependent on a sectarian governmental structure, where the President is a MaroniteChristian, the Prime Minister a Sunni Muslim, and the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies a Shia Muslim.  However, we all known that today the Hezbollah rules and this is the type of government that Kerry is okaying for Palestine who is using them as a model.  In Palestine, they will not have any Jews, however.  It is to be Judenrein.  Their model is being used to accommodate Fatah and Hamas terrorist politics.  

Yet, international law proves that Israel is in the right about living in Judea and Samaria and east Jerusalem, but nobody will accept it as it interferes with their global plans.  Kerry had this plan in mind, instead.

Obama Decision Not Taken Lightly by Israel

Nadene Goldfoot                                                               

 Backing Morsi as President of Egypt was another wrongful decision of Obama's.  It didn't go well with Egypt at all who ousted him in about 6 months after realizing the results of this decision.  

Dore Gold, past Israeli ambassador to the USA must be very disappointed with the Obama government since he commented that any international move that legitimizes Hamas is a dangerous mistake.  That's just what has happened with the USA falling head over heels in its rush to recognize the legitimacy of a Palestine with a government made up of a united Fatah and Hamas terrorists with a charter bent on destroying its neighbor, Israel.  Dore is also a foreign policy adviser to Netanyahu, who must also be extremely disappointed in their "friend," the USA. " Some friend," he must be thinking right now.

Ron Dermer, Israel's ambassador to Washington commented on his facebook page that "Israel is deeply disappointed" by the US decision to pursue "business as usual" with the Palestinians.  From Israel came the comment that America's position is a "slap in the face."  Congress members agree and 2 Republican senators called on the administration to reconsider aid immediately.

Netanyahu is asking other nations to not recognize this unified government.  He said he is "deeply troubled" by this decision of the USA.  "All those who genuinely seek peace must reject President Abbas's embrace of Hamas, and most especially, I think the USA must make it absolutely clear to the Palestinian president Abbas that his pact with Hamas, a terrorist organization that seeks Israel's liquidation, is simply unacceptable." he implored.  Yes, but I ask how Obama can retract what he has decided and be believable.  He is so two-faced already.  He's had all the time in the world to realize that Hamas is USA stamped as a terrorist group and here he has gone ahead and ignored the meaning of terrorist.

A terrorist group is not just a private fighting force following gentlemanly international rules of fighting another army group.  They terrorize citizens, mothers and fathers and children and do horrendous things to these people.  They slit their throats and stab and kill and blow their bodies up.  Their acts are  inhuman.  They do barbaric acts to Jews.  The shoot-out at the OKCorral is sweet compared to what the Jews have met from them.

The Obama administration is trying to mend their bridges with Israel over this decision, but there's no way they can mend my heart with such a move.  Netanyahu is more politically minded than me, so I wonder how he'll react to all this.  To me Obama is trying to have his cake and eat it, too.  What the USA has said is that they are now going to recognize the new Palestine government and fund them as well with my tax money!  They think they deserve a chance to succeed.

When Obama says this, a chance to succeed, I wonder, to succeed at what?   Their main goal has been to bring down Israel.  That I don't want them to succeed.  They have had oodles of money from sympathetic nearby governments which they have wasted, making many of them, at least in Gaza, millionaires as accounts have written about.  What makes Obama's government think they will be successful when they are telling the world that now they will really be in the position to destroy Israel?  Are we living an Alice in Wonderland mindset?

Israeli officials have nothing but harsh criticism for this turncoat decision. Marie Harf from the state department thinks that the new government didn't include any radicals against Israel.  Ha!  Ismail Haniya, Prime Minister of the Hamas government, is adamant about destroying Israel and he's in the government and already making speeches about his goals.  Is Marie asleep?

Marie said that the Obama government will now be judging the new government by their actions.  Lady, look at what the actions have been. Mortars, missiles and rockets have been streaming down at southern Israel since 2001.  They are still actively doing such bombardments.  It's just that Israel has had to come up with a lot of defensive moves against it like bomb shelters.  I would just love to have you live in Sderot for a year under such conditions to see what those people have to live with, and now you've given them the green light to make it easier to kill Israelis.  What kind of actions do you think is going to happen.  Do you think that suddenly the Palestinians are going to be good neighbors without any preliminary change of heart simply because they have their state?

The disappointing thing is that these Arabs didn't come from a former state that they are trying to rebuild nor were they a people once upon a time.  They are an assortment of Arabs who were fairly nomadic and had entered Palestine such as it was; empty land where they could either put their tent up or create a mud brick  house without much static from any government and were mostly just squatters living on the land.  They met up with a few Muslims living there already who, we now find, some had once been Jews and had become Muslims and owned their acreage.  They only decided they wanted their own state after the 1967 War when the surrounding states urged them to do so after terrorizing Israelis didn't do the job of driving them all into the sea.  They've lived the last 100 years being brain-washed against Jews and against the idea of a Jewish state and have been the pawns used as weapons against Israel.  And now the Obama government thinks that overnight they will be peaceful neighbors.

Memorial Day Thoughts for USA and Israel

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Memorial Day 2014 Washington DC

                                                                       
                      Benny Gantz Paying Tribute to Fallen in Israel's Yom Kippur War of 1973

"Imagine taking a walk from New York City to Chicago. That’s about an 800-mile trek, and it would take about two weeks of non-stop walking to complete it – a lot longer if you stopped to rest.

Now, imagine that all throughout your walk there were a continuous line of people standing shoulder to shoulder, one after another through the streets of New York City, into the back roads of New Jersey, over each rolling hill in Pennsylvania – people as far as the eye can see. It continues through Ohio and Indiana into Illinois. Finally, you arrive in Chicago after having walked past 1,321,612 people.

That’s a LOT of people. It also happens to be the same number of people who have died in combat while serving this country.

It’s sobering to think of all those faces. Each face has a story – a soldier whose life was cut down in its prime and likely left behind a spouse or a child or both. Most (625,000) died during the bloody, gruesome close quarter combat of the Civil War. Another 405,399 died in World War II, and 116,516 died in World War I. There have been many different wars, and they’ve stretched across many different eras, but one thing has remained constant: The amazing courage and willingness of the American soldier to lay down his or her own life for the cause of liberty. "(1)

This means that from 1776 when the USA was created till now, we have lost over a million sons in battle to protect the rights of citizens of our country; rights that other countries still have not attained. We had to sacrifice the lives of  our 1,321,612 to die in battle protecting us over the past 238 years.    Today we are a country of 317 million people in a world of 7.1 billion.

Though Israel was re-created on May 14, 1948, it has an established history of more than 35 centuries long  with origins  in the Biblical period of the 17th to the 6th century BCE.   We know they started again with a population of 650,000  66 years ago in 1948.  By the 1972 census they had 3,164,000 and today have nearly 8.2 million.  Israel's population is made up of 6.135 million Jews and 1.694 million Arabs which is  75% Jews and 20.7% Arabs to be exact.  It was established as the Jewish Homeland but is a pluralist society.  This means that different cultures and social traditions coexist.  For example, in 1972 Jews numbered 2,636,660 and were 85.2%; Moslems were 343,900 and made up 11.1%; Christians numbered 77,300 and were 2.4%; and Druzes & others were 37,300 and made up 1.3% of the population.  Like the USA, it has a population from all corners of the globe.

The 10 Lost Tribes are already being found and are returning to Israel.  Others are returning from countries that have a high amount of anti-Semitism that has also taken lives, so they are moving to Israel after suffering from much persecution for being Jews such as what has been happening in France.

Out of its 66 years of present day existence, Israel has had 7 major wars.  9,745 soldiers have been killed in engagements and terrorist attacks up to 1997.

Before Israel was declared a state the Jews lost lives defending the Jewish Homeland declared in the League of Nations in July 24, 1922.  The Balfour Declaration was signed on November 2, 1917.

Rigging UN Post Against Israel With Falk's Wife

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                 

One of my pet peeves has been  the UN's appointment of Richard Falk in a Human Rights position who did nothing but bombast Israel at every chance he could.  The reason he is used as ammunition against Israel is that he is a self-hating Jew (in denial) who is dead set to destroy Israel.  .  The man is deviant and he has a wife just like him except she's not Jewish;  she's Turkish, born in a Muslim household in Turkey and raised and educated there,  though now she doesn't practice her religion, she says.   That one fact in itself may be coloring her attitude towards Israel.    As he is finally leaving this last 6 year post spewing falsehoods against Israel, his wife, Hilal Elver, anxious to fill his seat of power,  is being groomed for the same position.

Falk is a person who promoted 9/11 conspiracies of David Ray Griffen who thanked him in his book, "The New Pearl Harbor." "Griffin has published a number of books on the subject of the September 11 attacks, suggesting that there was a conspiracy involving some elements of the United States government." 

Falk accused Israel of genocide. He also accused Israel of apartheid in his latest and final UN report.  He said that criticism of Turkey's President Erdogen was  exaggerated.   Most likely that's because he is married to a Turkish lady who was successful in their government, Hilal Elver.   Falk has targeted America and the West in articles, books and lectures every chance he gets.

His better half, Hilal, is also his shadow and is in agreement with all the above points of her husband.  Hilal Elver, PhD, works at the U of C in Santa Barbara as a research professor.  She has a law degree from Ankara, Turkey.  Unfortunately, Turkey has become more religious with Erdogen lately who is more into Sharia law and more against Israel.   She lectured in Qatar and threw in another attack against Israel that her husband missed  and accused Israel of water apartheid.  I take it that meant she is saying that Israel is not allowing her neighbors to have any water which according to my reports is absolutely false. As a researcher, she must be hiding files that show how much good Israel has done for her neighbors.  Israel is drinking sea water by creating desalination plants.  She is helping her neighbors in any water crisis.  Without Israel her neighbors would soon be drinking sand.  Who else has been highly innovative in creating ways to improve life?  Israel already signed a peace treaty about water with Jordan in 1994 and one with the PA in 1995.

 The duo do have a great technique.  They pronounce a sentence against Israel so authoritatively that gullible and like-minded people just gobble it up without doing any checking.  It was Hitler's method.

Hilal Elver Falk is a co-author and Richard's collaborator.  With her PhD she might even be his instigator.  It's hard to tell who the leader is of this twosome.  She is supposed to be an expert on the right to food.

The position that Richard has held was created by the Cubans and for years was held by Jean Ziegler who was the founder and recipient of the "Moammar Qaddafi Human Rights Prize."  Remember Qaddafi?  "He was internationally condemned as a dictator and autocrat whose authoritarian administration violated the human rights of Libyan citizens and supported international terrorism."  This dictator of Libya started his power in 1969 so had been their ruler for 42 years.  What kind of man can back such a person?   He's what I would pronounce as having a mental condition of meshugana, which is pretty bad.   A Human Right's Prize?  He used that prize to attack America, Israel and the West.  Ziegler " condemned the Jewish state so often that journalists began to describe him, mistakenly, as the council’s investigator on Palestine."  They do manage to select people wholly against Israel, don't they?  Ziegler, a Swiss socialist,  was a spokesman for Cuba.  The problem always has been that such positions have been rigged to be people who will speak out against Israel.  Now, Israel had a lot of socialism going on too, especially starting kibbutzim, but they were highly successful at it.  Cuba?  Well...not as much.  Here, Zeigler's anti-Semitic stand got in the say of his politics, perhaps.  
                                                                         
Richard Falk has been bearing false witness against Israel for his reign of the past 6 years.  "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" is one of the 10 Commandments found in Exodus and is the 9th commandment.  This also prohibits gossip and slander. This was to keep such things as a Richard Falk using slander and lies against the accused  from never happening but to use 3 witnesses who are objective.  Using one person who is not is prohibited in our 3,324 years old law.  It's interesting in that Islam accepts Moses as a Prophet.  What do they think of the 10 commandments?  They say they support those as well.  However, the UN, who has been favoring such Muslim countries very much in attacks against Israel, is ignoring this commandment. If Judaism, Christianity and Islam respect the 10 Commandments, shouldn't the UN start to consider them in their organization?  The UN has become a bastion of lies more than a place of helping countries to solve their problems.  In taking this stand, the UN is harming Israel just as sure as the rockets, missiles and mortars that have been raining down on Israel from Gaza. They are guilty of aiding and abetting Israel's neighbors who are trying to drive her into the sea.
    .
Richard Falk is known for his extremist politics  and Hilal will probably do him one better.  In this way, Richard Falk would maintain his influence.  It's now up to the United States  and Samantha Power, the US Ambassador, to oppose her appointment on Thursday, May 8th.  This was to have taken place in March but was postponed.
Hilal's latest endeavor has been  "on a book project dealing with secularism and human rights in the Islamic world."   
                               She was appointed.

The Palestinian Authority wants to create a state out of Judea and Samaria, ancient lands of the Jewish Israel, but they haven't bothered to pay their electric bill to Israel.  They don't have their own electric company.  Their bill is in arrears in the amount equivalent of $285 million dollars.

John Kerry has said that Israel risks becoming an apartheid state if they don't talk to terrorists.  He's been pushing Israel who finally resisted back.  Fatah, the new PLO term for a terrorist group who said they were trying to be peaceful, hasn't been.  Their tactics are just different and not overt, but very subtle and harmful. They incite violence.  They teach the children in school to hate Jews and that they own Israel.  They even leave Israel off their maps.   Hamas continued to bombard southern Israel with missiles, mortars and rockets.
The state of Israel is the ideal example of a state that has no apartheid practices.  Though it's only 8,000 sq miles big with 6 million Jews and 1.7 million Arabs, religion is free for all.  Nobody is telling Arabs that they have to take down mosques and that they can't be higher than a synagogue like what happened to Jews in Arab countries.  Arabs are serving in the Knesset and any beautiful girl that meets the expectations can become Miss Israel.   Israel will make sure nothing like that happens.  Kerry was out of line to even say such a thing.  Senator Ted Cruz  was so upset by this unnecessary threat that he's asking Kerry to resign as Secretary of State.                                                                        
                                                                   Hamas terrorist
The USA government has sanctions on 4 terrorist countries and different Terrorist groups.
1. Syria-since December 29, 1979
2. Cuba-since March 1, 1982
3. Iran-since January 19, 1984
4. Sudan-since August 12, 1993

5. Hezbollah from Lebanon-1985
6. Al Qaeda-since 1988
7. Hamas-since October 8, 1997

Hamas and Fatah just announced another reconciliation!  That did it.  Israel is not going to listen to any more talks.  Since Hamas is on the terrorist list and Fatah has connected to them off and on and again right now, Kerry should not be expecting Israel to deal with them when they themselves will not. " Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended.   FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business."  Yet Kerry  agreed with most all the PA's ideas and plans and would not listen to Israel's position  At the same time they have shown how inept they are in running a state by letting such a thing as an electric bill go unpaid to the very people they intend to live next door to in peace?  

What Israel is going to do about the electric bill  is collect the money by using tax money collected on behalf of the PA (yes, they had to do the collecting, too) to offset debts owed by the PA at the end of this month.  Israel will have to take more sanctions against the PA.  They may not give out any more passes allowing officials to travel freely through Israel, Judea and Samaria and Gaza.  

Netanyahu said he will look for other methods towards peace with the Palestinians but will not negotiate with a Hamas backed government.  It is  Iran that backs Hamas and they intend to rub out Israel.  Netanyahu doesn't want to settle for a stalemate, either.  He wants 2 states for 2 peoples solution and will seek it in some other way.  Israel is good at thinking outside  the box, so he may have something in mind already.  

These Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have been going on for 9 months and were set to expire Tuesday but never made the deadline.  They were suspended last Thursday after Hamas and Fatah agreed last Wednesday (4/23/14)  to form a unity government within 5 weeks and to hold elections.  Abbas, starting his Presidency on  January 15,  2005  was to be in for 4 years but has never stepped down.

J Street Not Surprising Me:Okay With Not Recognizing Israel As a Jewish State

Nadene Goldfoot                                          
  Main financial supporter of J Street, George Soros, born 1930-84 years old

Some of us in Portland had been questioning the goals of J Street, which has butted into the goals of AIPAC, who had been the only group acting as advocates of Israel. We feel that Israel has the right of deciding what is best for them.  Though AIPAC members are made up of Jews and Gentiles, we are not living in Israel, so cannot tell them what to do anymore than people in England can tell the USA how to run their affairs.

 I found out that J Street was backed financially by a very leftist billionaire, George Soros.  "The initial support of J Street came from multi-billionaire George Soros, who for a brief time was associated with the organization. Soros pulled out before the initial launch, so as not to negatively affect the group.   In September 2010 it was revealed that despite the organization's denials, Soros secretly funded the group." 

I note that Wikipedia left out the fact that Soros is Jewish and that he's a Holocaust survivor from Hungary.  They did go on to tell how he broke England's bank, though.  "He is known as "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" because of his short sale of US$10 billion worth of pounds, giving him a profit of $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis."  To me he is known as the man who started and funded J Street.  It seems he wants to pull the strings as to how Israel acts or doesn't act and he and his cohorts think they know better than people who live there.  

 We even had a  public debate between J Street and AIPAC here in Portland, and they seemed off key in my opinion, just more wary, taking a slightly different approach in how to appeal to people. They tried to impress us on how they really backed Israel.  Ha!  Telling Kerry and Obama that Israel shouldn't expect to be recognized as being Jewish is NOT backing our one and only Jewish state in this world!

"According to Caroline Glick, deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post, J Street is anything but pro-Israel: "Through their actions, J Street and its allies have made clear that their institutional interests are served by weakening Israel. Their mission is to harm Israel's standing in Washington and weaken the influence of the mainstream American Jewish community that supports Israel."

Obama is supporting J Street, or rather J Street is made up of Obama supporters.  It's hard to tell which is which.  

 Now J Street has hit below the belt in what they are advocating and are taking an extreme opposite view that Israel and I take.  Let it be remembered that only Israelis are citizens of that country.  Being Jewish in the USA or anywhere else does not give you the right to dictate how Israel is to live.  It's Israelis' lives that are on the line by living there.  It's they that knows exactly what is going on; far more than any American depending on their city newspapers for information.  Israel is also a democratic country by itself.  So the gloves are off and I'm sharing some information from Steven Plaut through friend  Ziegelman. 

What gives me the right to say such things?  I lived in Israel from 1980 to the very end of 1985 and became a citizen of Israel, so I have dual citizenship.  I've never voted since leaving, but did when I lived there, though I do now have that right.  I know what was going on there every minute of those 5 years and know that very little of it ever reached Portland, Oregon's Oregonian newspaper, as I had my mother living there.  Then, I didn't share half of what I was experiencing because I didn't want to worry her.  Since then I've learned that journalism reporting is still very politically-driven.  So are groups.

"1.  The headlines are shrieking that two major American Jewish organizations are denouncing Moshe "Bogie" Yaalon for his criticism of American policy and demanding that he apologize.   Haaretz and leftist Ynet are giddy in delight.  But just who are these two "American Jewish organizations."

The first is the National Jewish Democratic Council, which is simply the name of the pro-Obama group of Jews who are active in the Democrat Party.   It is run by Rabbi Jack Moline, a buddy of Rahm Emanuel and initiator of the group (Pseudo-) "Rabbis for Obama.".

The second is the so-called "Israel Policy Forum," a leftist organization today loosely associated with the left wing of the Israeli Labor Party.  It evidently is largely funded by Charles Bronfman these days.  Among the prominent leftists on its board are "Rabbi" Eric Yoffie, Steven M. Cohen, and in the past "Rabbi" Arthur Waskow, the drug-touting Israel-hating Marxist "theologian," was on its staff.   A nice expose of both "Jewish" groups is here:  http://www.jewishpress.com/news/israeli-media-2-us-jewish-groups-attack-yaalons-comments-true/2014/03/23/

It is a badge of honor for Bogie that these folks are attacking him.
  
2.  If there are any out there still not sure about what "J Street" is, then wonder no more.  The "J" in "J Street" clearly stands for Jihad:
  
J Street Endorses Palestinian Refusal to Recognize Israel as Jewish State

BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
March 21, 2014 11:47 am

In a development that is not sending shockwaves through the pro-Israel community, the “pro-Israel, pro-peace” advocacy group J Street has declared its support for the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. 

In a statement posted on the group’s website, executive director Jeremy Ben-Ami says that to “keep moving forward, both [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] now need to give a little.”

Netanyahu, he says, must drop his insistence that Abbas recognize Israel as a Jewish State because “it is simply unrealistic and unreasonable to expect any Palestinian leader to consent” to such a demand.

Ben-Ami never goes on to say what Abbas “needs to give.”

J Street’s advocacy for the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state follows a nearly unbroken period of advocacy for Palestinian and Iranian interests since the group’s founding in 2008. J Street took the Hamas position on Israel during Operation Cast Lead later that year, accusing the IDF of war crimes and promoting the discredited Goldstone Report. It lobbied for the Iranian regime’s position against Iran sanctions. It defended the terrorists who attacked IDF soldiers on the 2010 Gaza flotilla. J Street also took the Palestinian and Arab League position on a UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements in 2011." 

 J Street says they have 180,000 members.  There are 6 million Jews in the USA.  

What hurts is that Jews are less than 1% of the world population.  We are a very individualistic thinking population, made up of a lot of leaders,  not  followers.  When we have AIPAC, who backs Israel, why divide up and have an opposing group like J Street that harms Israel?  It harms very much when it goes against what Israel says and does, and that's what's happening.  It's the USA that have been Israel's one supporter in this world, and here J Street is causing this country to GO AGAINST ISRAEL.    This is the biggest SHUNDA that Jewish people can do to their brothers and sisters.  

Remember our history of when King Solomon died, Israel divided up into Israel and Judah, and being in two corners, were overcome by the Assyrians and then the Babylonians which led to being taken by the Romans.  Dividing and not studying the issues can lead to the fall of little Israel today.  

We cling to the hope that G-d is watching out for Israel, because it's for sure that J Street is not helping.  It's been enough that so many have been against Israel and now we have Jews as well against her.  For shame !
