Moses prays 515 prayers beseeching G-d to allow him in the promised land of Israel. Simply to see this good mountain and the Lebanon, (Deuteronomy 3:25), that is, Jerusalem and the Holy Temple, this is all that Moses desires. Just to experience the land of Israel firsthand, even in the form of a bird sailing in the sky. But, alas, it was not to be. Today, every Jew can fulfill the dream of Moses, and by doing so, bring this people closer to its destiny.

Shepherd Hotel

Obama, Lieberman, al-Husseini, and the Shepherd Hotel : Dry Bones cartoon.
The Obama administration is upset and angry about a Jewish philanthropist's plan to build on a plot of land in East Jerusalem. A plot of land which he bought way back in 1985.

. . . and which has resulted in a local dispute you probably have not heard about. Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman has issued an order to place a photograph of the previous owner of the property in Israeli embassies and consulates. The "professionals" at the ministry are upset at being forced to comply. So here's the background to the story.

On the property stands the abandoned "Shepherd Hotel". Unmentioned in the controversy is the fact that the building and land were previously owned by the family of the Islamic Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini. So why does Lieberman want to put up the photos?

Well there's this:

"Al Husseini was the notorious Nazi who mixed Nazi propaganda and Islam. He was wanted for war crimes in Bosnia by Yugoslavia. His mix of militant propagandizing Islam was an inspiration for both Yasser Arafat and Saddam Husein: He was also a close relative of Yasser Arafat and grandfather of the current Temple Mount Mufti." -more

and there's this:

"Husseini spent World War II in Berlin at Hitler's side. Husseini established a division of Muslim Nazis "the Hanzar" division and played a first-hand role in instigating the genocide of Europe's Jews, Serbs and Gypsies. After World War II, he actively recruited Nazi officers into the Arab governments of the Middle East." -more

So here's a few more photos of the man who managed to blend Nazi philosophy into Islam, and the former owner of the hotel that Obama is desperate to keep out of "Jewish hands":

bbcworldnews: Israel voices Iran concern
The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has used a meeting with the visiting American defence secretary, Robert Gates, to reiterate Israeli concern about Iran's nuclear programme.
CBS

Iran refuses to give up its nuclear program, causing tension between Israeli and American leaders. Israel says a military strike is an option, while the U.S. wants to see diplomacy first. Charlie D'Agata reports.


This is the first I heard of the organization. New America Foundation, who are they? According to this video, they may lean to the left along Shalom Achshav/Peace Now.

My perception from the New America Foundation video, is that the lawyer is caught up with the hate that was fostered ie the word Zionist and presenting himself as a settlementologist.
Peace Now worked hard over the years with their propaganda, placing ads and marketting and along the way, the hate surfaced into others. The words settlers, settlements, Zionism were defaced and the organization got a following to their ideology. I often wondered if Shalom Achshav/Peace Now is a "Jewish" front for Iran and its radicals and if the founders were really Jewish or just posing as Jews as the Arabs in Israel sometimes do. An added possibility would be that some may have converted to Islam.

infolivetvenglish: Remains Of First Temple Found Underneath Planned Walkway (March 16 '08)
During construction for a planned walkway that will connect to the Temple Mount, the Israel Antiquities Authority have uncovered the remains of an ancient city dating back the First Temple at a site located near the Western Wall. Archaeologists working at the dig discovered the remains hidden beneath a subterranean street dating back to the Roman period. One of the most exciting artefacts found are several figurines of women and a personal letter seal made from a semi previous stone with the name; Netanyahu ben Yaush; engraved on it.
infolivetvenglish (August 29 '07)

The Waqf Islamic Trust is digging a trench for electric infrastructure on the sacred Temple Mount. As in 1999, it is doing so without proper archeological supervision, and is potentially destroying priceless archeological artifacts. Infolive.tv went up to the Mount to try and film beneath the surface of the contested site, but was barred from doing so by the Waqf. Meanwhile, a group of Israeli archeologists has taken upon itself the task of sifting and sorting through the rubble discarded by the Waqf in 1999, during the renovations of the underground caverns of the Temple Mount (Light instrumental background music)

Over 30 activists in Oakland and San Francisco participated in National Don't Buy Into Apartheid Day on June 20 '09 (Hatredfest)

Video and comment from this blog: In this video you will see 30 members of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS), an anti-Israel group which is supported by all three of the organizations involved in the SFJFF "Rachel" event -- the Rachel Corrie Foundation, the Jewish Voice for Peace, and the American Friends Service Committee, descend upon a local Trader Joe's grocery store, vandalize Israeli products, and try to bully customers into boycotting Israeli goods.

(Please note: the link was forwarded thought an email. As for these "customers" at Trader's Joe's, they should be charged for invading the store and for vandalizing their products as well as for inciting hatred. It is a place of business not a place to conduct town hall meetings. As for all the "apartheid" gatherings, they are done to incite hatred towards Israel. The radicals began this years ago and now got friends to do it for them while they sit back and collect on the dividends, so to speak )

One of the organizations that met with President Obama besides the far left Shalom Achshav/Peace Now was J Street. George Soros supported J Street’s creation and was formally associated with the organization for a brief time after its inception". More here. One of the Staff members of the organization is its Executive Director Jeremy Ben Ami.

The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: B'nei Noach and Non-Jews.

Non-Jews who (1) reject all idolatrous ideas and accept the kingship of the One G-d, (2) accept the priesthood of the Jewish people as the guardians and teachers of Torah, and (3) commit to following the seven commandments revealed to Noah are called B'nei Noach.

Judaism maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the World To Come. Traditional Judaism generally recognizes that Muslims and other B'nei Noach worship the same G-d that Jews do and those who follow the tenets of their religions can be considered righteous in the eyes of G-d. (This needs to be verified with an Orthodox Rabbi who specializes in the Noachide Laws. Please note that this is not an acceptable condition according to the Bnai Noach that I know since deities may be an issue here)

Surviving Genocide and Making Life in Israel After Darfur

Surviving a Genocide and Making a life in Israel - Hundreds of thousands have lost their lives and 2.5 million people have been displaced from their homes in Darfur. Here is the story of 2 refugees, survivors of the Genocide in Darfur, which found a safe haven in Israel

(This shows the true heart of Israel and its citizens contrary to publicity that was being dished out with the demonization of Israel and its people. This clip also shows Jewish hearts that know what it is to be victims as opposed to unsuspecting Jews and non-Jews that are being abused by radical Islam to unknowingly side with them by making them think that they are standing to be upright and righteous. A good question would be who is conducting whose genocide? As previously mentioned, radicals tend to use democracy against it and accuse others of wrongdoings when it is themselves who are doing it as when Israel was repairing a bridge by the Western Wall and being accused wrongly while the Radicals were destroying precious archaeological artifacts at the Temple Mount - Note: musical background)

He Hath Spoken

Obama pressures Israel, in a biblical way : Dry Bones cartoon.
Washington is now trying to micromanage Jerusalem and to dictate the policies and steps that Israel's elected government should take.

President Obama's premise is both shortsighted and misguided. The outcome of his offensive and haughty bullying of the Jewish State will either be the weakening of America's only true ally in the Middle East or the driving of that ally to secretly build an alternative alliance with one of America's global competitors.

As we enter the month of Av we intensify our traditional mourning for the Holy Temple, but are we really in touch with what we are mourning for? Are we ready to put an end to the mourning forever? The real people of Israel are ready, and poised in their hearts to rise up and build the Holy Temple. Obama may be calling for a building freeze in Jerusalem, but the Jewish heart is burning to build!
