It is tragic that we even find it necessary to discuss the topic of Israel's Jewish adversaries, locally and abroad, but we must.
Long ago, the prophet Isaiah, in his vision, foresaw Israel's present situation. He saw the Jews returning to Zion, the rebuilding of her ruins, and multitudes again crowding within the walls of Jerusalem. (Isaiah, ch. 49) One verse in this chapter is particularly meaningful and full of hope for us today: "Your destroyers and those who laid you waste shall go away from you." (ibid. 49:17) Some commentators on the book of Isaiah interpret the term "the destroyers" to mean "the wicked men who were the cause of their own people's downfall."
How necessary it is to learn the facts about these "destroyers" is revealed in a recent op-ed by Professor David Newman of the Ben Gurion University, published in the Jerusalem Post. His article is entitled "Settlement Removal, a Blueprint". It is suddenly very clear what all of Israel's Jewish adversaries, both local and abroad, have in common: they want to establish a Palestinian state in the Biblical heartland of Israel, by removing all the Jews and handing Judea, Samaria and Gaza over to the Arab enemy. Let us call a spade a spade. These Jewish "destroyers" want to "transfer" their fellow Jews from their own G-d-given country.
Professor Newman appears to be a charter member of the Jewish "destroyers" in Israel. He seems to already smell victory for their common cause, and therefore writes a "blueprint" as to how this transfer shall be accomplished.
Let's study Professor Newman's blueprint in some detail. He says that "any future territorial agreement will necessitate evacuating a large number of Israeli settlements." He further states "that the freezing of settlement expansion should take place as a confidence building measure prior to the signing of any agreement. Evacuation can only take place afterwards."
And then the professor gives us practical advice on how to proceed. He insists that options for settlement evacuation must include the following:
* Enough time for settlers to prepare an orderly evacuation.
* Establishing a public agency to deal with a wide range of relocation problems: housing, education and employment.
* Adequate financial compensation to help settlers get their new lives in order.
* Providing psychological services, especially for those who perceive evacuation as shattering their political and religious dreams.
* No settlements should be razed to the ground as happened in Sinai, especially in the Yamit region. The settlements can either be sold or handed over to the Palestinian State/Authority as potential housing solutions for some of the refugee population.
* As far as possible, settler leaders should be involved in the detailed stages of any planned evacuation. While many will refuse to undertake what they see as an act of "collaboration", it is reasonable to assume that once reality sinks in there will be pragmatists ready to become involved to ensure the least possible disruption of normal life.
Thus speaks the Israeli Jewish destroyer Professor David Newman. Is Professor Newman trying to create a new Judenrat?
Is Professor Newman alone in plotting and planning the demise of Israel? Absolutely not! He has illustrious company, both locally in Israel and abroad in the United States. The ones in Israel do the dirty work and the ones abroad raise the money for them, often from unsuspecting, naive people, who don't realize that they are being conned and harming Israel.
The question is, shall the Jews living in the re-born communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza start packing their bags? No way. Of course, I have a vested interest in this matter, as three of my four children live in Efrat in the Judean hills. Efrat is a beautiful community consisting of 1,400 families, or a total of 9,000 Jews. Efrat is mentioned in the book of Genesis. It is where our Mother Rachel gave birth to Benjamin and died in childbirth. "Thus Rachel died and was buried on the way to Efrat, which is Bethlehem." (Genesis 35:19) Rachel's Tomb is still in Bethlehem today.
My children, who were born in the United States, have returned according to the prophecy of Isaiah to re-settle the land. It would be against the word of G-d for Jews in Judea, Samaria and Gaza to follow the blueprint of Professor Newman and the rest of the Jewish "destroyers", and let themselves be transferred.
Furthermore, these Jewish "destroyers" do not seem to understand that as far as the Arabs are concerned, all of Israel is one big settlement, a cancer which needs to be removed from the Arab body. It is difficult to fathom what causes Israel's Jewish adversaries to put all their energy into working against the interests of their fellow Jews. What makes them have such twisted, perverted loyalties?
Let's use our People Power. Please write a registered letter similar to the one below to:
Mr. John Ashcroft, Attorney General
US Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington DC 20530
"Dear Mr. Ashcroft,
We respectfully ask the US Department of Justice to investigate any organization that works in conjunction with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The PLO has been defined by US law as a terrorist organization.
Please look into the activities of AMERICANS FOR PEACE NOW, one such organization, and the sources of their financial support."
It is said, "evil triumphs when good men do nothing." Let evil not triumph, where G-d's covenant land is concerned, by remaining silent.
