Duped by Fear - The Demand to Divide Jerusalem

It was bound to come about.  The dream of Bush, Olmert and all the others in the International Community who want to see Jerusalem divided.  This could be their dream come true. Get the people to beg for dividing the city.

First off, I want to state here that I am a person who likes facts.  I have heard different conspiracy theories for many years, but I never believed them unless I saw proof.  I like proof.  I don't like to BELIEVE people.  I am a Jew who is part Litvak and I need logic and facts. My family is made up of academics (my father and two brothers all hold PhDs in the sciences) and I too was brought up to examine things rationally.  However being the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, and hearing my father's stories of Jabotinsky coming and trying to warn the Jews to get out, but no one would listen, with people calling Jabotinsky an alarmist and conspiracy nut, I have learned to listen.  Yes, I listen.  That doesn't mean that I accept everything.  If it sounds logical, then I want to see facts to back it up.  However, sometimes a first step is an inclination, a gut feeling.  This inclination then follows by asking questions, doing intensive research and gathering indisputable facts. 

I have NO facts for what I want you all to churn around in your heads.  I am stating this now.  NO FACTS.  However, I would like you to consider these interesting details below and keep it in mind for the future....

1) Does it not make you wonder that after a long quiet of major terror attacks in Jerusalem, almost all carried out by Arabs from Judea and Samaria, that all of a sudden an attack is made on the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem (western part) and was perpetrated by an Arab that lives in  the 'eastern' part of Jerusalem?  This Arab could have struck at Jewish targets much closer to their own neighborhood, yet they went to the Western entrance of the city to carry out the attack.

2) Several weeks later, another terror attack in Jerusalem (July 2, 2008), again by an Arab from the 'eastern' part of the city, carried out in the 'western' part of the city.

3) The two terrorists who perpetrated these attacks were related. It would be interesting to find out if these two related men had anything on them (by intelligence agencies ?)  to get them to make these attacks and stir up trouble, bringing the western/eastern topic to the forefront.

4) The following day of the attack, headlines are splashed across papers stating that the people want a separation between eastern and western Jerusalem - for their safety.

Vice Premier: Parts of East Jerusalem should be severed from capital
Olmert: No Fencing-Off Eastern Jerusalem
Ramon: Terrorist's Neighborhood Shouldn't Be in J'lem
Another attack from 'within'

I believe that this 'debate' will now be seen in news stories more and more, coming from a population that is being duped into believing that it is best for their security and safety, sending them into a whirlwind of fear if they DON'T separate from the eastern part of the Holy City.

How convenient for those who wish to see a divided Jerusalem. 

Intimidate the public, instill in them fear, and get the people to BEG for the city to be divided.

If anyone hasn't seen the fictional movie called V for Vendetta, they should go and rent it.  One of my favorite lines from the film was, "People shouldn't be afraid of their Governments.  Governments should be afraid of their People."

And that's the way the ball bounces.  What great psychology to use against a population IF this is true.  I suggest we keep our eye on the ball and see what transpires.  Somehow, I can't help thinking this could be all too convenient for those who want Jerusalem divided.  Now, I'd like to see facts, one way or another, to answer this question.

LIVE VIDEO of Shooting of Terrorist

Religious Jew (in blue shirt) shoots Arab terrorist, caught LIVE on camera.
Here is a LIVE video that was broadcast on Israel's channel 10, of a religious soldier (off duty in blue shirt with Tzitzit (ritual fringes) hanging out of shirt.) shooting and killing the Arab terrorist driving the tractor.

Terror Attack & Jews Make Peace?

"Tamar, what happened?"  My husband is on the phone calling from the streets of Jerusalem.  I tell him I haven't heard anything but run to the computer to check the news updates.  He continues, "There are ambulances and police all over the place.  Something happened."   I then find the news item and alert him that there was a terror attack where an Arab terrorist used his tractor to attack a busload of people in it, downtown.  I tell him how many were hurt and that so far one person, a woman, was killed.  After we hang up, I go and say tehillim (psalms).  We then wait (mostly in vain since Oslo) for our government to say they are sending our forces out to stop the terror, but of course, nothing much happens.  Our hands are tied, and our politicians seem to gladly take orders from the higher-ups in the international community who they are beholden to.  It gives one ulcers, as I know the general public wants to fight and win.

In the meantime, the Jews across the nation yearn for peace.  They are tired, and they get dreamy, and the 'artsy' Jews (Jews in the arts) work at a solution by trying to make music and movies about peace, as our Arab neighbors and enemies speak of liberating Palestine with fire and blood.  Somehow our left wing liberal minded Jewish brothers still carry a point of view that if Arabs and Jews just understood each other, we could get past the hate and have peace.  I think Chamberlain tried that with Hitler.

Here is a film of about 7 minutes, that was just sent to me BEFORE the attack, about a Jew and an Arab, and how we should be friends.  It's nice, but naive.  Unfortunately, not everyone holds the same values of life and freedom.  Although there are a few Arabs who would prefer to live quietly and in peace, an overwhelming majority of their population does not want this, and supports terror, not peace making.  It's funny, because one never sees movies made of this genre by the Arabs.  It's only Jews, and as the movie was playing out, I knew Jews had to be the ones who made this film.

I was right.

I saw the credits.  All Jews. 

I am certain that when Mohamed, strapped with a bomb, or behind the wheels of a tractor, after seeing this movie, will cry, take off his bomb, hug a Jew, and ask for forgiveness.  Right?

p.s.  I am now uploading the LIVE Israel TV footage of the terror attack, some of it was filmed LIVE, as you will see the tractor shaking to the right and left as the struggle was going on, and also, the death toll has risen already to 4 dead.  You will also see the bus that was turned over in this video.  I am uploading it now and hope to have it up in several minutes.
