ISRAELS MEDICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

A cure for genetic deformities. A team including researchers from Israels Technion has developed an innovative technique that they believe will cure deformities and blindness caused by ectodermal dysplasia, which affects seven out of every 10,000 babies born in the world. Via in-vitro experiments, damaged cells caused by mutant p63 genes can be greatly improved using a chemical substance called PRIMA-APR246.

The article, Christians Are Guilty of the Holocaust, by Giulio Meotti in Arutz Sheva yesterday is both painful and necessary for all Jews and Christians to read:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/12784

While I have studied this history over many years, his article was tough for even a scholar to fathom.

The Catholic Church was as bad as Jews believed possible, but Lutheranism was worse. Please read his article at the end of my commentary. As I have written many times before, I fear a Second Holocaust.

The reasons for this fear are many and well substantiated. The level of anti-Semitism is rising rapidly and have now reached the level of the 1930's. There are four kinds of anti-Semitism that today are mixing in todays world into a toxic formula for Jews. They are:

1. Traditional European Nationalist anti-Semitism. Jews are seen as a foreign race affecting the purity of the various nations.
2. The Christian religion, evolving between Catholic and protestant Jew haters. Various sects believe in the false accusations of deicide, blood libel and devil worship. Some just simply "replacement theology" (G-ds Israel is replaced by Christians).
3. The Islamic religious traditions based on the Koran. The Islamist philosophy ranks all nations servants of the true religion founded by Muhammad. It is a cruel and cold faith where murderers of Jews, Christians, Hindus and other non-Moslems are insured a place in paradise.
4. Once Jews became sovereign in their own land as the Holy Scriptures predicted, many non Jews began to fear retribution for the evil they meted out to the Jews over the last 3500 years.

ISRAEL'S 'FUTILE GESTURES'

ISRAEL'S 'FUTILE GESTURES'

By Charles Bybelezer
September 6, 2012 -Daily Mailer, FrontPage

Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to extend well-wishes on the occasion of Id al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan.
He did so despite the fact that Abbas continues to shun negotiations with the Jewish state and again has threatened to pursue a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September.

Netanyahus goodwill gesture reportedly was followed by similar phone calls to Abbas by Israeli envoy Yitzhak Molcho and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Molcho also called PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad.
The calls came on the heels of other goodwill gestures made by Israel over the last few months aimed at coaxing the Palestinians back to the negotiating table; including, but not limited to:

1. The issuance of thousands of additional Israeli work permits to Palestinian laborers;
2. The advance to the PA on the eve of Ramadan of approximately NIS 200 million in levies collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinians so that government salaries could be paid;
3. The signing of an economic accord with the PA in order to enhance trade;
4. The signing of a deal to end a hunger strike by Palestinians jailed in Israel, in which Israel even agreed to allow convicted terrorists to pursue academic studies;
5. The tabling of an offer, confirmed by PA Minister of Prisoner Affairs Issa Qaraqe, to release in four stages 125 Palestinian security prisoners, many of whom were convicted of murdering Israelis (the proposal was summarily rejected by Abbas, who demanded the prisoners be released simultaneously);
6. The transfer to the PA of the bodies of approximately 90 deceased terrorists, whose remains subsequently were glorified en masse in official ceremonies.

YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE

You are standing today, all of you (all generations) before Hashem, your G-d, from the heads of your tribes, your elders your children from the (highest) in society to the drawer of your water, for you to pass into the covenant Hashem, your G-d in order to establish you today as a people to Him and that He will be a G-d to you I call on heaven and earth today to bear witness against you. I have placed life and death before you, a blessing and a curse, you shall choose life so that you will live to dwell on the land that I swore to your forefathers (to your fathers and grandfathers) and to Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob. (Deut. 29-30)

Looking at the world today I think back to the words of Charles Dickens, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us When I first read those words in high school, I believed that they were far removed from the rest of my life. America was in a simpler place. My only serious question was why wouldnt Sandy Koufax pitch the first game of the World Series after all was Yom Kippur really that big a deal and it wasnt like he wore a kippah and kept kosher. It was a time when questions hadnt been asked yet and didnt need to be answered. Today has caught up with yesterday.

For me, years before my Bar Mitzvah, I remember the words on our Day of Atonement. Words when secular Jewish friends of mine only came to synagogue one day a year would show up on Yom Kippur to hear who will live and who will die The profundity of that one line and its finite reality, its focus, its simple yet unambiguous statement is a statement that few Jews can turn away from or forget. The gift we have been given is the gift of time money comes, money goes, our days are moments as part of an eternity that we are only blessed to know for a very short time.

ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE AFTER 63 YEARS

ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE AFTER 63 YEARS
by Bernard J. Shapiro
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
May 9, 2011

No one should fool themselves into thinking that giving the Arabs of Judea and Samaria Jordanian citizenship would solve anything in the long run. Jordan is not as friendly (population wise) as we are led to believe. Though the government is helpful and friendly, that could change in the blink of an eye. Should American troops leave Iraq and it falls to Iran, the consequences would be severe for Israel. With Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza under Iranian control, it could easily extend its reach to Jordan and the Judean-Samarian ridge overlooking Israel's vulnerable coast.

My Bottom Line (Conclusion)

Israel's central problem is psychological and no amount of beautiful rhetoric and wonderful proposals can change that.

When will the Nationalist Camp realize that we are "at war already" with the PLO/Hamas/Hezbollah supporting tyranny (the LEFT) that rules Israel? At what point will Israelis realize that the CIVIL WAR they fear, IS ALREADY TAKING PLACE AND THEY ARE LOSING? When will the true Zionists take over Israel and rid the country of the Arab and Jewish traitors.

After 2000 years of homelessness, we are privaliged in this generation to see a new and productive Jewish State. Why do we let these evildoers threaten to take it from our hands.

FATEFUL DECISION COMING FOR ISRAEL

FATEFUL DECISION COMING
by David Basch
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
April 24, 2011

"The question is whether PM Netanyahu's next proposal
will mark a new direction in negotiation -- one that
walks Israel back from earlier surrender agreements that
should be declared nul and void on grounds of the perfidious
performance of the Arab enemy."

It has been PM Netanyahu's unhappy lot that he has been the one called
on to make fateful decisions for Israel and the Jewish people. Maybe
that statment should be corrected that it is Israel and the Jewish
people's unhappy lot that it is he that is called on to decide these
issues for them. Reflecting on what has happened, he has not done well
for them.

One need only recall that in his first term as PM, elected to stand
fast on behalf of Israel against the Oslo process that was delivering
Israel into the hands of those that sought to destroy the nation, he
failed to stop it in its tracks and even expanded it by contributing
the early surrender of additional large portions of Hebron to the
Arabs. A decade later, after running on another right wing program, he
became the first Israeli leader to subscibe to a Palestinian State.
Leading up to this, he was also for the surrender of Gaza, the very
surrender that brought Israel's southern cities under Arab
bombardment.

DEFENSE VS. OFFENSE - BARAK VS. SHAPIRO

They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth... ...Plato
"The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see." ... Ayn Rand
======================

TWO ARTICLES: DEFENSE VS. OFFENSE

DM EHUD BARAK VS. BERNARD J. SHAPIRO

Barak has raised the idea of a separation between the PA and Israel. It is not a new idea and as far back as 1995 I explained why it won't work. Here is that article. Today in 2011 his big "idea" is missile shields. They won't work either. Anit-missiles systems are very expensive and the terrorists can keep producing thousands of cheap missiles to overwhelm them.

SEPARATION & SECURITY FENCES

The Primary Fallacy
By Bernard J. Shapiro (1995)
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
The Maccabean Online

The idea of separation has much appeal to an Israeli population feeling threat0ened daily by hostile Arabs. The Israeli government recently advanced an elaborate plan to construct hi-tech fences and new military checkpoints between Israel and the Palestinian West Bank in an effort to reduce the risk of militant violence. Israeli security officials brought the plan before the Knesset a day after Islamic extremists opened fire on an Israeli bus near the West Bank town of Hebron, killing two Jewish settlers and wounding five. The separation plan involves building extensive fences, other barriers and restricting Palestinian access into Israel through eight to ten crossings points.

The border would be heavily patrolled by Israeli soldiers and police. Cost estimates range from $300 million to $500 million. An economic report on the draft plan said the cost would be too high and separation would lead to political and economic instability in the PLO areas, perhaps intensifying the danger of attacks from opponents of the Israeli-PLO peace process. Analysts such as Dore Gold, Emanuel Winston and Ze'ev Schiff have discussed many of the reasons why it simply won't work.

For another reason why it is the wrong approach to security, it is worth repeating a story I wrote, which appeared in an article entitled, DETERRENCE OR DHIMMIZATION (THE MACCABEAN, January 1995): Back in 1965, in a small meeting room in Tel Aviv, former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan gave a pep talk to a group of RAFI (Rishimat Poalai Israel) volunteers, myself included. At that time, RAFI, a breakaway faction of the Mapai Party, included such notables as former Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and former Defense Minister Shimon Peres. Peres and Dayan had been considered the "hawks" of Mapai and it was no accident that in the 1965 election they supported a strong defense and security policy.

PREEMPTION OR DESTRUCTION - Which Should Israel Choose?

PREEMPTION OR DESTRUCTION
Which Should Israel Choose?
By Bernard J. Shapiro
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
November 15, 2010

Israel has been swept with Arab violence and terrorism since the late 19th century. Israeli Prime Ministers have tried but failed to stem the tide. Ariel Sharon, well know for his tough tactics in quelling terrorism in Gaza in the 70's, has also failed.

Back in 1965, in a small meeting room in Tel Aviv, former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan gave a pep talk to a group of RAFI (Rishimat Poalai Israel) volunteers, myself included. At that time, RAFI, a breakaway faction of the Mapai Party, included such notables as former Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and former Defense Minister Shimon Peres. Peres and Dayan had been considered the "hawks" of Mapai and it was no accident that in the 1965 election they supported a strong defense and security policy.

Dayan was always interesting to listen to, but this talk was something special and we paid attention to every word. "The essence of Israel's security in this region (Middle East) is deterrence," he said. "When we formed the State in 1948-9, we were very weak. The Arab States had planes, tanks, heavy artillery and many more soldiers than us.

We had very little heavy military equipment. In the period 1949-55, we absorbed almost a million immigrants. Tent cities sprung up all over the country. We were totally disorganized. Had the Arabs mounted another major invasion, we could have lost. We devised a solution to this problem. It was deterrence. Think about being lost in a forest and surrounded by hostile animals. If you light a torch, boldly approach them showing no fear -- they will retreat. But, if you show fear -- they will attack and you are lost. We used this principle to save Israel during those early years. Every time we were attacked, we retaliated ten fold. We showed daring and penetrated deep within their borders to attack our targets. We were fearless, brave, and even a bit bloodthirsty. You know the result. The Arabs were afraid and never attacked. Deterrence worked. By 1956 when we invaded Sinai, the Israel Defense Force was not just strong, it was invincible."

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Reflections of a Frustrated Zionist
by Bernard J. Shapiro
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
October 19, 2010

I am getting increasingly frustrated with the constant repetition of the same mistakes in Israel, year after year. Is there no learning curve for Israeli leaders, politicians, and lets face the Leftist public?

Why do we debate the obvious, like does the Land of Israel belong to us. Some other important questions:

1. Why do we negotiate with Abbas, Obama, the UN, the Eu, Egypt, Jordan or any other anti Israel nations, leader, or institutions. JUST SAY NO! They are all short change artists as I wrote about many years ago. Please read.

DONT PLAY WITH THE SHORT CHANGE ARTIST
Or Why One Shouldnt Make Redeployment MapsBy Bernard J. Shapiro
From an editorial in the January 1998 issue of
THE MACCABEAN ONLINE

During my 23 years as owner of House of Books in Houston, I learned many valuable lessons. One in particular seems to have an application to the current situation in Israel. Let me explain:

In 1978, the store was victimized by a short change artist. One of my clerks was at the register when a well dressed gentleman approached with a paperback book costing $2.95. He gave her a $20 bill and then began a back and forth exchange of money. In the end, the bookstore lost about $60.
I called the Houston police department and requested that an officer come to the store and brief my employees on how to prevent this crime from happening again. The officer came and told us a little story. It seems that Johnny Carson once asked a short change artist to come to his show and try to fool him while he was fully alert to what was going down. The criminal had no problem and his skill marveled the audience.

GAZA INVASION ARMADA

GAZA INVASION ARMADA
by Emanuel A. Winston
Freeman Center Analyst & Commentator
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
October 18, 2010

Reports indicate that another sea armada of perhaps more than 10 ships will sail from the Syrian port of Latakia where it has been docked for the last 12 days. The main ship in (what they call) the "Viva Palestina" convoy has 380 activists from 42 countries, 147 vehicles and $5 million in medical aid. Their declared mission is to break Israels arms blockade of Hamas in Gaza. [Latest news: One ship has already docked in Egypt as of Sunday October 17th.]

These so-called activists are what Vladimir Lenin called useful idiots who were carrying the Communist Manifesto. Todays useful idiots are the Islamic sympathizers who are ready to be used by Hamas and HezbAllah.
To view their "real" purposes, look at their own diary (listed below - footnote #1) of the propaganda parade through 3000 miles by land, and the rallies held at each stop. If you can tolerate the full onslaught of their propaganda, their own diary is quite damning.

The propaganda campaign that Gaza Muslim Arab Palestinians under Hamas rule have been deprived of food and medicine has been disproved by foreign eye-witnesses, still and video photographs of the Gaza markets full of food, the water parks, the villas and other luxurious living of the "poor Palestinians". The only purpose of Israels legal blockade of Gaza to incoming foreign ships is to deny Hamas the free-flow of major weaponry. However, weapons coming from Syria and Iran continue to be smuggled in through hundreds of tunnels starting in Egypts Sinai Desert.

MY PRAYER FOR ISRAEL ROSH HASHONA 5771

MY PRAYER FOR ISRAEL ROSH HASHONA 5771

By Bernard J. Shapiro

As I survey the fragile planet we call home, my mind makes note of the chaos, blood, and tears. The cries of a million lost souls shatter the night in a million corners of the earth. The sensitive, compassionate among them try to feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe the naked. One by one their energies dissipate. They try to hold back the tide with a teaspoon and then see the impossibility of the task. The Jewish people are but a cosmic speck in this universe. To many Jews who feel deeply about their own people, that speck becomes the whole world. Other Jews are irrevocably tied to non-Jewish pursuits.

May we as a people open our eyes and begin to see the world as it really is. Without becoming depressed and morose, we must realize that there are powerful forces in the world that wish us ill. May we mobilize our strength to fight our enemies until they are defeated. May we not succumb to false prophets of peace. We all want peace. We pray for peace in our Sabbath services every Friday night.

After thousands of years, being victims of persecution, expulsion, extermination, and discrimination, it is natural that we yearn for peace with every ounce of our bodies and souls. It is because our hunger for peace is so strong that we must be doubly cautious not to fall for a pseudo-peace.

Today none of us believe Chamberlain really negotiated "peace in our time" with Hitler. Why do some Jews believe that Peres and Rabin really negotiated "peace" with Arafat, one of today's Hitlers? The Jewish people must learn the value of unity in the face of so many enemies who wish them ill.

Recently Drawn From Two Days Of Arutz Sheva
August 31 & September 1, 2010
by Bernard J. Shapiro
Chairman and Editor
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
www.freeman.org

1. Barak meets Abbas in Jordan.
Nothing to talk about. The only peace the Arabs can offer Israel is the Peace of the grave.
2. Lone Zionist at Anti-Israeli Rally.
That is good, but would it have been wrong to take a few friends along. And go undercover and bash a few heads. The Midrash tells us that it is Kosher to kill those who come to kill us. I am not saying this, Jewish Law says this.
3. Two terror suspects nabbed on flight from US.
The US, the World and Israel are responsible for terrorism by showing restraint in destroying it. Also by funding, fearing and appeasing terrorists. Late reports indicate the Dutch will release them.
4. Back Taxes May Stop Ground Zero Mosque.
Jews, Christians, Hindus and 9-11 victims should knock down the doors and sit in that place, like the Civil Rights Movement (1959-1966). Why wait for the IRS which is controlled by a Muslim President?
5. PA Prime Ministers Diplomatic War Against Israel.
My dear Lovers of Zion, this is Israels fault. Israeli must stop whining and do something. For example: blow up or jam the anti-Semitic radio and TV Stations. Arrest the Moslem preachers of hate and close their hateful schools. Stop funding anti-Jewish hate education. Stop funding PAs diplomatic hate campaign against Israel.
6. Shas Leader Rabbi Yosef: Build in All of Judea and Sameria.
Good advice. My advice to Rabbi Yosef: If the Israeli coalition does not follow your advice-WITHDRAW YOUR PARTY FROM COALITION AND BRING THIS GOVERNMENT DOWN. Dont fear for Israel, HaShem will be by your side.

SHAPIRO/ ETTINGER COMMENTS -
Middle East Sandstorms and Tumbleweeds
FREEMAN CENTER FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES
August 26, 2010

Freeman Note: This is abrilliant analysis by Ettinger. I have always appreciated his wonderful insight into Arab-Israel-US issues. I have ONE complaint, not just for Yoram, but for most pro-Israel writers.

The Apocalypse is coming.

Those of us who understand what is really going on in the world must cease being "nice Jewish boys and girls."

1. We must stop promoting or even using the word peace or just peace settlement. It is fight or die. Learn this.

2. We must cease all dependence on the USA or its Moslem President to save Israel.

3. We must stop whinning about anti-Semitism and train ourselves, including youth to defend themselves.

4. An Israeli government that won't defend its citizens against Arab attack is not a Zionist government. When proud Jews in Israel defend themselves from Arab attack, the Israeli police, government, and justice system put them through hell. These people should not rule a Jewish State.

5. I am sick and tired of Israeli diplomats trying to win favor with
ant-Semites, who will never support us.

6. I am sick and tired of American Jews refusing to take a stand to protect their fellow Jews. But have some kind of wishy, washy Ghetto mentality. They don't have to please Moslems, Leftists, socialists, communists, white and black people who do not care about the best interests of the Jewish People. And I hate those Jewish ACLU lawyers who would call me a rascist because I speak truth to lies.

7. I am sick and tired of all the delay in destroying Iran's nuclear threat. I know how difficult it is. But I am also not stupid and I know that five years ago would it have been easier. I know that the Israeli government keeps making it harder for the military to accomplish its mission. My readers on the Freemanlist know why I say this. the proliferation of missiles from North Korea, Iran, Russia, and China to Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and back to Iran.

8. And by the way the terrorists on all Israel's borders must be annihilated. We, the Jewish People did not suffer for 2000 years SHOULD NOT lose our Eretz Yisrael, because we are nice Jewish boys and girls.

9. I am sick and tired of Barak and Peres still being involved in Israeli politics. They should have been retired long ago.

10. Ok I will stop my rant. My final word.

I won't puplish articles any more on the Freemanlist that DON'T GO FOR THE JUGLER. NO PUNCHES HELD BACK. In case you want a few examples (certainly not comprehensive).

ISLAM, THE FALSE MASK OF RELIGION
By Emanuel A. Winston,
Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
Auust 22, 2010

Religion, when taught and practiced with restraint and decency, is a valuable ever irreplaceable guide for humankind.
However, when a specific religion teaches its children to hate and kill, then it cannot be defended as a religion. Then it is a blood/death cult, practicing child abuse on their own children.

History is replete with confirmed accounts of nations and their particular religion being used as a reason for conquest, looting the victim society, forced conversion of the conquered society and, finally, mass extermination of all those who resist.
Some self-anointed religions are merely pagans who worship idols and gods whom their Priest Cult interprets as the wishes of their panoply of gods. The only limitations on their practices would be the creative imaginations of their Priest Cults. Human sacrifice was common then and, strangely, it last into present time.

6 MILLION WHO CANNOT SPEAK
by Emanuel A. Winston,
Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator
Freeman Center For Strategic Studies
July 9, 2010

Now there are only a few elderly survivors of the Holocaust still alive and most wont/cannot speak out. They know from bitter experience that when government leaders become hostile to Jews, its dangerous to speak out in public. When some of us speak to elderly survivors and, if they trust you, you might hear something like this:

We know that, as in Germany in the 30s, the hate is growing in the nations as they need someone to blame for their money going bad and for the lack of jobs. We see clearly that President Barack Hussein Obama has a visceral dislike, even hatred, for the Jewish people. We know from experience and instinct that President Barack Hussein Obama has grown very close to the Muslim Arab nations and wishes to please them by acting hostile to Israel.
