Forget the Elections, There's a War Going On!by Tamar Yonah
While we here in Israel are blah-blah-blah-ing about who will form the next government – yawn-… there's a war going on. Burn The Infidels Out? Jihadists are now being suspected of starting forest fires in Australia, fires which have wreaked havoc on the country. 
"As more than 31 major fires continued to rage in the Australian state of Victoria and the death toll approached 200, there was speculation on Tuesday that some of the blazes may have been set by Islamists waging a "holy war", or jihad. …Investigators have determined that some of the fires were deliberately set by arsonists, prompting Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to say that whoever was responsible for lighting the fires had committed "mass murder". But bloggers have pointed to a report from September 2008 which warned that Australia had been singled out as a target for a "forest jihad" by a group urging Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as a weapon of terror. Photo from the AP
"U.S. intelligence channels earlier this year identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the U.S., Europe and Russia to 'start forest fires,' claiming 'scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels' forests when they do the same to our lands.'"
The website, reportedly run by a group called the Al-Ikhlas Islamic Network, "argues in Arabic that lighting fires is an effective form of terrorism justified in Islamic law under the 'eye for an eye' doctrine." To read more, click here. --------- They're Firing Rockets in Sweden!!!!! In Sweden, peaceful pro-Israel demonstrators were attacked with rocket fire and pipe bombs by Muslim(?) Jew-Infidel haters. There were several MORE attempts of rockets launched towards the peaceful pro-Israeli rally. See Swedish blogger Ted Ekeroth's blog , who was there and filmed these videos. ---------------- Speaking the Truth Can get You Locked Up At the same time, hero for free speech and the 'American way' (sic), Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders has been warned that he may be arrested by British authorities at Heathrow Airport (for hate crimes?) if he arrives there to host the showing of his film, 'FITNA' which exposes verses of the Koran that encourage violence against non-Muslims, as well as graphic footage and photos of Muslim atrocities against innocent civilians. So, not only in the Netherlands, but also in Britain, they want to arrest or prosecute the 'Paul Revere' of Europe who is only warning his fellow Europeans that there is a war raging, but no one wants to admit it. If this world is not 'Alice Through The Looking Glass" I don't know what is. Muslim Arab Jubilance at the Attack on the Twin Towers And let's not have a short memory. It was only a few years ago when the Jihadists attacked the American People. Lest we forget, American troops were NOT waging war in Afghanistan or Iraq then. The Americans were puzzled, scratching their heads. "Who would want to hurt us? What did we do to them that made them so angry as to attack us?" But Americans don't need to ask these questions. It is enough that you are still a Christian nation and have not succumbed to Islam yet. 
And in London: 
So, forget the elections, whether it's Livni or Bibi, let's not lose our focus, there's a war raging, they're #&$*!%#@! bombing Sweden! ...and I still would rather have either of THEM, than sympathiser, apologist, and Muslim stemmed B. HUSSEIN Obama.

It's Time To Do Some Introspective Workby Tamar Yonah
I have been thinking deeply about the Gazan war and all the pain that comes from war -on both sides. We are always being told that 'There is no military solution." At first, I scoffed. But trying to be a better person, I have to be open. Here are some new photos that I have not seen, that have come out of the hell-hole of war from various sources. I really realize the pain these Arabs have had to suffer, all because of their -and our -leaders. I do not wish to see people suffer. It is time to do some serious introspection. We need to look within ourselves and see where we have been fooling ourselves, where we have just 'bought' the stories we are fed from the press. These photographs can really make us do introspective work when we see just in fact what the army has done. Hopefully, it will make us better and more honest people. Look what the army did in the war. Photo 1: It is so heart wrenching to see children suffer. This is a photo of an Arab man with his dead baby after the army bombed. 
Photo 2: This is after a bombing on an Arab village. Try to imagine being there and seeing your home destroyed by the army. War really is hell. 
Photo 3: Add to this, 'the occupation'. Let's be fair, it must not be easy on the Arabs to have to live with the army in their faces, constantly under watch. 
Photo 4: Imagine having the army stalking your streets, it must be very hard for the Arabs. This check point can humiliate people. 
Photo 5: An unprofessional camera shot, but it has caught for us the total despair brought amidst innocent people who are not terrorists. 
Photo 6: This picture has caught the utter devastation of war. These are civilians, and really, shouldn't only military targets be legitimate? 
Ok, enough time for introspection. I have a confession to make. These photos are NOT what Israel did to anyone. Actually, these photos are what the Allied Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq have done to Arabs there. Photo 1: The correct caption is: Afghan man cries over the body of his child killed by U.S. bombs in Kabul. Photo 2: The correct caption is: Red Cross Building Destroyed by American Bombs, Kabul, 26 October 2001 Photo 3: The correct caption is: One of the local Baghdad police stations, heavily protected by U.S. troops-2 Photo 4: The correct caption is: U.S. military at a checkpoint in Baghdad. (How humiliating! What apartheid!) Photo 5: The correct caption is: Scud missiles slammed into Israel's central population areas, courtesy of the Iraqi Arabs. Photo 6: The correct caption is: More scud missiles sent by the Arabs of Iraq on Israeli civilians. Notice the Israeli flag flying in the center of the photo.
When we are bombarded by the International Community with slogans like, "There is no military solution", remember, all countries throughout history who found themselves in war, only won those wars by military victories which crushed the enemy so completely, that they would not have enough nerve, strength, or ability to attack again. All through the centuries, the Jewish People were under the mercy of hostile Governments and Peoples. We were not allowed to own a gun, and we were unable to defend ourselves. Throughout the centuries, there has ALWAYS been a military solution. It is only NOW, when the Jews have guns and can defend themselves, when we have our OWN army and can defend ourselves, -that all of a sudden, we are being told there is no military solution.
Yes, it IS time to do some introspection, but not for Israel. The U.S. State Department needs to do some introspection. The Allied troops who bomb the heck out of countries thousands of miles away of which they have no connection to that land - they have to do some introspection when they justify their acts, yet condemn and admonish Israel for defending our own land and our own people. It is the media that has to do some introspection and ask themselves why they are so hard and judgmental on Israel, yet ignore the crimes and criminals of the Moslem/Arab world as well as their own armies and what they are sent to do. And all of us should do some introspection and ask ourselves why we keep hoping for peace using a formula that rewards criminals and terrorists, and goes against our holy Torah. Instead, we should listen to our prophets who tried to teach us:
Isaiah 32:17: "The product of righteousness shall bring peace; and the effect of righteousness, quiet and security forever." Don't reward these terrorists. Mete out justice to them. Make THEM do some introspective work. By punishing those who choose to murder and terrorize, it will send a message to the rest of their ilk that we, the world, will NOT suffer their evil acts. That to live in a safe and peaceful world, those who do evil must suffer the consequences, and this too will be a deterent to others thinking about joining their blood thirsty terror groups. Once again, we must listen to our Prophets: "The product of righteousness shall bring peace; and the effect of righteousness, quiet and security forever." Let's do some introspective thought on THAT.

You Tell Mitchellby Tamar Yonah
PUBLIC ANNOUNCMENT: to be distributed far & wide. * At the end of this blog post, please add your OWN message to Senator George Mitchell and tell him what you think. YOU TELL MITCHELL.
Above: "Obama speaks alongside Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the State Department in Washington, DC, January 22, 2009. Obama named former senator and Northern Ireland peace mediator George Mitchell to try to bring his peacemaking credentials to bear in the intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and through the wider region." Jerusalem, Sh'vat 5, 5769, Jan. 30 2009
An Open Letter to Senator George Mitchell To the Honorable Senator George Mitchell, Representative of the President of the United States of America, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama, Welcome to Eretz Yisrael and to the State of Israel! Below: George Mitchell at press conference for Obama As you are well aware, our country – the State of Israel – is the sole democracy in the Middle East. In the elections that are scheduled to take place in another 12 days, our nation will express its desire – as well as its duty – to insure the sovereignty of the people of Israel and her state over the entire Land of Israel. It is to this land that we return after an exile of 2,000 years, and it is this land that we redeem by possessing it, building it, and protecting it. It is an eternal inheritance for the eternal people; it was bequeathed to our people by the Holy One, blessed be He.
This inheritance has also been recognized by international law, beginning with the San-Remo conference on April 25, 1920, and followed by the Mandate of the League of Nations on July 24, 1922. In all probability you will not hear this truth mentioned during your meetings with members of our current government, thus we publicly bring these matters to your attention. Perhaps your intention – now, or at some other time – is to convince us that peace in the Middle East and the cessation of evil and terror in your country and worldwide will come about only as a result of taking away parts of our land, cleansing these areas of Jews, and transferring these areas to our enemies (as was done in 1938 at the Munich conference with Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland). In that case, when you return to your country tell President Obama: Foisting borders of Auschwitz on the Land of Israel will bring neither life nor peace… neither for Israel, nor for America, and we will not return to that experiment again. We have had our fill of all the attempts to trick us into accepting these “Auschwitz Borders” for the State of Israel, and we will not be fooled again. We know perfectly well what hides behind slogans like: “Palestinian State” in western Eretz Yisrael, “Right of Return for 1948 Refugees” or any “freeze” on “natural growth,” i.e., restrictions placed on the birth of Jewish children in “settlements” and the housing needs of their families. We will not fall into these traps. However if you will stand by our side – indeed, perhaps by leading efforts to advance regional peace talks – efforts by which the Arabs of Eretz Yisrael can be reestablished in the places of their origins – through this, you will advance the cause of world peace by giant steps. For it is only a peace that will be based on justice, truth and the ethical values of Israel’s Bible and the words of her prophets, that will have the strength to stand. Not only this: Only such a peace will bring about prospertity for all humanity. The ultimate test of justice and truth in our time will be determined here in the Land of Israel, through the return of the Jewish people to Zion, through the building of the land by the nation of Israel and by the exercise of her national sovereignty over the entire land. We affix our signatures, the undersigned organizations that are true to the Land of Israel: Our Eretz Yisrael Gar'in Homesh–Sanur The Jewish Committee for the Protection of Zionist Values – Jezreel Valley The Jewish Heart The Sanhedrin “And You Shall Inherit It” The National Jewish Front Protectors of the Land Land-of-Israel HQ Homesh First HQ Cities of Israel HQ Northern Israel HQ Jewish Leadership Women in Green Nahalal Forum Kom'miyut The New Jewish Congress Citizen’s Movement The Temple Mount and Holy Temple Movements * You can now add your own signature to this in a talk-back, and/or add your OWN message to Senator George Mitchell and tell him what you think. YOU TELL MITCHELL.
