Update for Friends of Israel in the USA

Senate Resolution which is dangerous for Israel

Senate Resolution 321 (S.RES. 321) has just been introduced  in anticipation of the upcoming "peace" conference in November. The resolution " calls on President Bush to … make a 2-state settlement a top priority".

 Why is that bad?

 a. A 2-state settlement means establishing a new Arab ("Palestinian") state in Judea and Samaria. These areas are just a bike-ride away from all of Israel's major cities (Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, etc.) and from Israel's sole international airport (Ben-Gurion airport). Such a state would be an existential danger to the only Jewish state in the world — Israel. Better one less Arab state — than no more Jewish state.

b. A recent poll (by Pew, an international research group) found that 70% of Palestinians support suicide bombings. Should a people with these attitudes be rewarded  with their own state?

c. Tiny Israel already has an active Northern front (last year's Lebanon war) and an active Southern front (Sderot and its rockets). Should the United States really urge her to add a third front — this time in Central Israel, where 70% of Israel's population resides??

 

PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION:

==================================
Dear Mr. Zachary Farley,

I have recently learned that PM Olmert, Israel's highly unpopular Prime Minister,  gave $16 million to PA Pres. Mahmoud Abbas who in turn handed the money over to Hamas. Hamas is on the State. Dept.'s Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list. Giving money to an FTO is against the law, and part of the punishment for breaking the law is that the person cannot enter the U.S.

Secy. of State Condoleezza Rice is also advocating giving money to Abbas, money which Abbas is likely to turn over, in part, to Hamas and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

So my question is, "How come Ms. Rice is inviting PM Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas to Washington in November for a summit, when on the face of it, both cannot enter the U.S. because of their funding terrorism?"

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

(ADD YOUR NAME)

Background information re: Big problems looming over Israel
Everyone keeps saying that the November USA-Arab-Israel conference "must" decide to set up a monster … a Palestinian state.
 
We really need our friends in the United States to urgently contact their Jewish newspapers, radio shows, radio stations, their rabbis and presidents of their synagogues and organizations, and ask: " Why is American policy supporting a Palestinian state right next to Tel Aviv?"
 
Press the person you are speaking to: "I understand from my contacts in Israel that Israeli polls show that Israelis do not want to have a new terrorist state right next to them. How can you, rabbi/president/editor, help to make sure, at least, that American policy is not pushing something fatal for Israel in the context of the upcoming November International conference? Should we not be concerned that Palestinian statehood right next door to Tel-Aviv, and the rockets and suicide bombings that will come with it — might  terminate the State of Israel, the only Jewish state in the world?
 
How can the IDF fight on 3 fronts (North, South and Central Israel) all at once, which is what will happen if the "Palestinian state" ever comes to fruition? Is it appropriate for someone like you, who enjoys a position of influence, to remain silent on this side of the ocean, if our own American policy is so crucially instrumental in shaping this threat?"
 
Any media outfit, Jewish or otherwise, however minor, which raises the issue of NOT pushing Israel to establish a Palestinian state, would be extremely helpful to us here. So please, call the newspaper, radio station and TV station (Jewish or otherwise) that YOU patronize.  
 

We also need at least some of the pro-Israel leaders in the US to speak up AGAINST a Palestinian state, and this should get done before November — say, even only (in alphabetical order) Agudath Israel USA, Mr. Malcolm Hoenlein, Lubavitch USA, the OU, Pastor Hagee, Young Israel and ZOA. If even only these few leaders  decide to use, for the good, their contacts in the White House and on Capitol Hill and — most important — in the media — the terrible "Palestinian state" plans looming over us in Israel will, in all probability, be repealed. So — please call these leaders if you are in touch with them. Or email them; using the following email addresses:

dzwiebel@agudathisrael.org

info@conferenceofpresidents.org

hq@lubavitch.com

info@ou.org

cufirrt@cufi.org

execvp@youngisrael.org

info@zoa.org

Even better: persuade your local Jewish (or other) newspaper editor, Jewish reporter or Jewish talk-show host, to call these leaders on your behalf. After all — what are talk shows for??
 
We thank all our friends in the USA, Jewish and otherwise, for extending a helping hand — extending your helpful hand as far as your telephone receiver — to save Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion airport from turning into monstrous versions of little Sderot. If you are helping with this — helping to save Israel — please write to us at mattot.arim@gmail.com and indicate who you spoke to, when, and what was their reply.

 
Sometimes the efforts of several people can be pieced together at our end, into something much bigger than you ever thought possible when you made your "little" phone call. At a bris, Jews say: "Zeh ha-katan, gadol yihiyeh!" (the small one will become big). This is what may happen as a result of YOUR phone call: your tiny initiative may be merited to become a big, big help to Israel. So many thanks for your concern. And pass this email on.
