עברית בהמשך

Dear friends, the Republican and Democratic National Conventions are less than one month away. This is a strategic opportunity, then, to introduce new ways of thinking instead of the tired old “two-state solution”. See here http://forward.com/news/343116/are-republicans-facing-a-nasty-platform-battle-of-their-own-over-israel/? and here: http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.726779

Therefore, please can you promptly read the attached information booklet about ALTERNATIVES to the “2-state solution”.
The attached booklet compiles some very interesting views about what can be done that would better, both for Israel and for world peace, than establishing a new terrorist state just a bike-ride away from Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben-Gurion airport.

The attached booklet is in Hebrew and we URGENTLY need
(a ) your comments and suggestions – and
(b ) a VOLUNTEER TRANSLATOR to translate from Hebrew to English – simply send your name, email address and telephone number to mattot.arim@gmail.com.
Thank you very much indeed.

ארה”ב: הכינוסים של המפלגה הדמוקרטית ושל והמפלגה הרפובליקנית – ייערכו כבר בחודש הקרוב (בחודש יולי).
כזכור עד עתה, השיח בארה”ב בתקופת אובמה היה בעצם מונולוג: “צריך להקים מדינה פלשתינית!”

אך כיום — הקולות מהוססים, אפילו בשמאל. לכן, זה הזמן להתחיל לעסוק בחלופות – מה ניתן לעשות במקום הקמת מדינה פלשתינית?

מצ”ב טיוטת חוברת שעוסקת בדיוק בזה: באלטרנטיבות להקמת מדינה פלשתינית.
מסתבר שיש הרבה חלופות אפשריות, אבל אלה אינן מרוכזות במקום אחד.

א. אנא לקרוא את המצ”ב בהקדם
ב. אנא העבירו רשמים ותיקונים לטיוטא המצ”ב
ג. חשוב – דרוש/ה בדחיפות מתורגמן/מתורגמנית מתנדב/ת מעברית לאנגלית – לפנות אלינו באימייל להלן ולציין שם, כתובת מייל וטלפון – הרבה תודה ממטות ערים

About UNRWA, from a friend of Israel in Canada: “What? There are renovations going on down there? I didn’t know!”

Adapted from an email message by  Paul Rotenberg, pro-Israel activist in Canada

 

The report about UNRWA in Gaza, below, strikes me as particularly egregious because there was a tunnel. 

 

You cannot even put bombs in a building without the people in the building knowing about it. But much more so, you cannot dig and build a long tunnel, a concrete structure in a building, without those in the building knowing full well what is going on.

 

Can you imagine in your house, “What? There are renovations going on down there? I didn’t know! So that is what tons of concrete were used for.”  Did they think someone was making a swimming pool, or several swimming pools? 

 

I think it is time to start a campaign to get the UN out of Gaza.  It is absolutely clear that they are not there for peaceful purposes, they are there to harm Israel and that is not their mandate. I think we need to move on this as quickly as possible, take it to the media, to our parliamentary representatives and most importantly, to our community.

 

Paul
