REFLECTIONS OF A FRUSTRATED ZIONIST - 2014
by Bernard J. Shapiro An Editorial for the January Maccabean Online Freeman Center For Strategic Studies Since I completed my book, THE BATTLE FOR ERETZ YISRAEL, Jew, G-d and Israel, 1992-2011, I have not written very much. There is a good reason for that and it is a sad one. It seems, as the French long ago said: " The more things change, the more they stay the same." Frankly, I am getting bored in my old age. I once believed that the rise of Israel took the Jews out of the Ghettos of Europe and the horror of the Holocaust. But it seems that it was easier to take the Jew out of the Ghetto than to take the Ghetto out of the Jew. Once proud Sabras (native Israelis) now let Arab teenagers throw rocks and Molotov cocktails at them. They are trapped on the roads of the Holy Land, attacked with sniper fire and lynched. The Israeli police, border patrol and Israel Defense Forces let it happen.. Political correctness has run amok. Jews can not pray on the Temple Mount, their holiest site. It is the site where Abraham, our father, was tested by G-d and proved his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac as G-d commanded.. Arabs have re-written history and now claim that their was never a Jewish connection to our Holiest Site. They claim that Abraham, Jesus and other Jewish prophets were Moslems. They continue to destroy all traces of our connection to the site and the Israeli government does nothing. I would not tolerate it! I would throw the Waqf off the Temple Mount and replace them with unbiased Jewish police. Jews, Moslems and Christians will, of course be free to worship there.

ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION ORDERS AGAINS JEWISH NATIONALISTS
by ADINA KUTNICKI Freeman Center For Strategic Studies September 26, 2011 (Editor’s Note: The author variously uses the terms GSS [General Security Services], Shin Bet, Shabak, ISA [Israel Security Agency]. They are all names for Israel’s internal security service.] In western democracies, a person’s home is considered his castle. Therefore, if a government banishes a citizen from his home, the act must be based on a judicious interpretation of the law. The detainee must present a clear and present danger. Chief Justice Aharon Barak, previous president of the Supreme Court, underscored his belief in this principle, albeit not from a perspective which protects the rights of Jewish nationalists. On July 15, 2002, Justice Barak ruled in the Ajuri case: ”Our point of departure is that in principle removing a person from his dwelling place and forcibly moving him someplace else causes serious harm to his self respect, his freedom, and his possessions. A person’s home is not only a roof over his head, it is the means for establishing his physical and social relationships. A number of a person’s basic human rights are harmed when he is forcibly removed to another place , even if such a move does not involve an international crossing.” Tragically, his legal opinion was rendered in relation to the protection of the civil and human rights of terrorists! The security services recommended their expulsion from Nablus to Gaza, and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the terrorists. Even the pro-Arab B’tselem human rights organization is unhappy about administrative detention/expulsion orders, stating: “Undoubtedly the state should act determinedly against ‘settlers’ who harm Palestinians and their property, but the way to achieve this is via criminal proceedings and not administrative orders that are based on confidential information.” Continue reading "ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION ORDERS AGAINS JEWISH NATIONALISTS" Thursday, April 28. 2011SATIRE - PEACE AT LAST
SATIRE - PEACE AT LAST
by Steven Plaut Freeman Center For Strategic Studies April 28, 2011 It was in the year 2013. The Israelis at long last gave up their attempts to resist the pressures of the world. Their newly elected national unity government approved the plan. The Palestinians, led by a coalition of the PLO and the Hamas, had already earlier announced the creation of a Palestinian state. Israel’s Left had been holding weekly protests in support of Palestinian statehood. When the UN had officially and unanimously called for such a state, even the United States of Barack Obama voted in favor. The national unity government of Israel announced that Israel was willing to accept the unanimous UN proposal for peace, supported by every single country in the world. Israel would return to its pre-1967 borders, remove all Jewish settlements from the territories of the new state of Palestine, recognize Palestine, and grant Palestine all of East Jerusalem, that is, all of the city located east of a line running north-south through Zion Square, renamed Martyrs’ Square. Continue reading "SATIRE - PEACE AT LAST" Monday, October 18. 2010GAZA 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 Israel’s 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. Today’s “useful idiots” are the Islamic sympathizers who are ready to be used by Hamas and Hezb’Allah. 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 Israel’s 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 Egypt’s Sinai Desert.

MUSLIMS ATTACK JEWS; JEWS NOT ALLOWED TO ACT IN SELF-DEFENSE
by Gail Winslow Freeman Center Analyst & Commentator Freeman Center For Strategic Studies Freeman Center Broadcast - October 12, 2010 The Muslim Arab Palestinians in Jerusalem grow bolder in their attacks on Jewish civilian drivers, men, pregnant women – even children and those who are simply strolling. However, the Police, under the orders of Israel’s current Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, arrest the first Jewish victim they see at the scene. The Arab Muslims accept this encouragement as permission to attack Jews whenever they wish, knowing that Barak, Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Leftist Courts as well as the Leftist Media will side with them. Perhaps a time will come when the Quislings in the Israeli government will be kicked out and a Peoples’ Court will be established to try them for their crimes against their own people. I recall an old saying during the years of the Muslim Ottoman Turks’ rule who treated the Jews cruelly. The saying of that time goes: “Kill a Turk and take a rest.” The message, I suppose, was: “Don’t harm me and I won’t harass you.” But, those evil times are returning as the Arab Muslims take the place of the Turkish Muslims. Regrettably, although the Jews have returned to the Land of their Patriarchs and Matriarchs, many of our own leaders plead for mercy from the very Arab Muslims whom they had to fight and beat in seven wars and continual, ongoing Terrorism. Granted, not all Jewish leaders sniveled, whined and apologized for living and daring to live and fight back. Now, too many of these Jewish leaders play the role models of a beaten people, instead of standing tall as honest victors in a sea of Jew-hating Muslim Arabs. They instruct the Police to harass Jews – especially if they are forced to defend themselves – even against Muslim Arab lynch mobs. Israel’s soldiers have been made fearful of defending themselves with lethal force lest the corrupt and biased Leftist Courts put them on trial for acting in self-defense and defense of their countrymen, women and children who are endangered.

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).

NOTES TO BIBI AFTER HIS FIRST ELECTION - STILL IMPORTANT An Editorial from THE MACCABEAN June 1997 A CALL TO ACTION We Must Return To Zionism By Bernard J. Shapiro In 1897 in Basle, Switzerland, Theodore Herzl founded the World Zionist Organization. There were great accomplishments in the last 100 years. Much has happened to the Jewish people who found themselves on a roller coaster with many traumatic ups and downs. The Holocaust was the lowest point and the establishment of Israel was a high point. There was the great victory of 1967 and the trauma of 1973. Zionism flourished, Israel prospered, Judea, Samaria and Gaza were settled. The Ethiopian return to Zion brought tears to our eyes with pride. The great Russian migration to Israel literally changed the country for ever. And then a cataclysmic and horrific event took place. A small clique of charlatans, with anti-Zionist delusions, took over the Israeli government in 1992. They deceived the Israeli voters by placing ("Mr. Security") Yitzhak Rabin at the head of their ticket. They promised security and then proceeded to dismantle the Jewish State. 100 years of Zionism are being undone in a few years. The new Likud government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not seem to have the political will to undo the damage of Oslo. In the past few years, it seems that the main effort of Israeli governments was the creation of a Palestinian state. The word peace was perverted and distorted, coming to mean surrender and appeasement. Continue reading "NOTES TO BIBI" Friday, July 9. 20106 MILLION WHO CANNOT SPEAK
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 won’t/cannot speak out. They know from bitter experience that when government leaders become hostile to Jews, it’s 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.

TRUST CAN KILL A SMALL NATION LIKE ISRAEL
By Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator Freeman Center For Strategic Studies June 28, 2010 It has been reported on TV and in U.S. DEFENSE NEWS that several U.S. Aircraft Carrier Task Forces have been sent to position themselves off the coast of Iran in the Gulf of Hormuz. I wondered: What was their mission? I also wondered about the practice take-off and landing sessions of U.S. and French aircraft on each other’s aircraft carriers. It sounds like a good idea if their likely targets are nuclear sites in Iran. BUT, what if it wasn’t? What if their alternate mission was to protect Iran from a pre-emptive or retaliatory strike by Israel on those Iranian nuclear sites? What if their plan is as Zbigniew Brzezinski counseled President Barack Hussein Obama – to shoot down Israeli aircraft in order to insure that Iran reaches full maturity in its nuclear capability?

WE NEED HEROES TODAY
Let Us Be Like Maccabees By Bernard J. Shapiro Freeman Center For Strategic Studies December 13, 2009 The year is 70 C.E. and a young Roman legionnaire stands on a hill overlooking Jerusalem. While he watches it burn, he says to his comrades in Latin, "Judea Capta Est" (Judea is conquered).Yet like the legendary phoenix, rising from the ashes of its own destruction, Israel burst onto the world's stage 2000 years later, with the cry of a lusty infant yearning to breathe free. Five Arab armies tried to destroy that new life before it could take hold. With blood and fire, including the sacrifice of one per cent of its population (6000 of its best young people), besieged Israel secured its independence. Just nine short years earlier, European Jewry faced its most devastating experience, the Holocaust. In the areas under Nazi occupation, the Jewish death rate was 90%. Despite revolts in dozens of camps, and heroic resistance with the partisans of free Europe, the Jews were unorganized, unarmed and ultimately became victims. During both the Holocaust and Israel's War of Independence, the world and its leaders were indifferent, if not hostile, to the fate of the Jews.

ASSIMILATION OF AMERICAN JEWS CAN BE CURBED
by Michael Anbar PhD Freeman Center For Strategic Studies November 1, 2009 For centuries Jews have been subject to bigotry, i.e., misojudaic prejudice, often associated with violence that ranged from arson, molestation and pogroms to the Holocaust. Yet the Jewish nation survived in a grueling Diaspora. But later, once Jews were fully emancipated, many of them assimilated, and the Jewish nation lost many individuals. People born to Jewish parents have denied their heritage, joining subcultures that disregard ethnicity or religion but still hate Jews. This process is ongoing in American Jewry, especially among its younger, most productive members. The older generation, including Holocaust survivors, who are the majority of synagogue attendees, is not likely to abandon Judaism. However, their sons and daughters seem to assimilate in droves. Unlike in 19th Century Germany, assimilation of American Jews is not by conversion to Christianity but by joining transnational “progressive” political movements that despise Jewish nationalism. Giving up the national rights of Jews is not better than giving up the Jewish religion. A substantial number of the Jews who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 are assimilated transnationalists.

WHEN THE PAST IS THE PRESENT
by Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator October 29, 2009 Approximately 10 years ago I started writing what has become a series of articles entitled "THE GATHERING", 7 in all. These were intended as heads up alerts, forecasting that the Nations of the world were gathering to attack the Jewish State in deference to the Arab and Muslim oil States and the Church-taught hatred from its earliest beginnings. As today’s World writhes with Pain of its own making, they lash out at the minuscule Jewish State of Israel to relieve that pain. The fact that neither the Jews nor the Jewish State caused these Global problems made no difference to Christians, Muslims or - even Left Liberal Jews - looking to perversely take on a burden of guilt by blaming all other Jews for the ramping up of Global Hatred. I thought you might be interested in my forecast of August 4, 2001 (only 1 month before 9/22/01 brought America her Muslim Pearl Harbor). As the future continued to become more clear, I wrote 6 additional pieces, building on the mounting evidence, culminating so far with the appearance of President Barack Obama and his hostile Cabinet appointees and some 35 or more Czars and Czarinas who serve the President’s orders without being vetted by the FBI or approved of by Congress.

ADVICE TO PM NETANAYHU BEFORE HIS ENCOUNTER WITH OBAMA
by Bernard J. Shapiro Freeman Center For Strategic Studies May 12, 2009 Like most of us, who are concerned with the survival and security of Israel, I am concerned. There are so many forces bent on our destruction, that a true Zionist hardly knows where to turn, much less what to do. I have been thinking about it for many many months, even years. Below are the simple thoughts of a frustrated Zionist. TO NETANYHU – WHEN YOU MEET OBAMA 1. Tell him that he is now president of a great country that Israelis have always loved. He should do his best not to destroy it by turning it into a third-world Socialist non-democratic nation. 2. Please remind him that Israel is a sovereign Jewish nation and will not take orders from either him, the UN, EU, NATO, or the Arab dictators. Let him understand that when his people (white, black and Muslim) were still barbarians the Jewish People had already built a great civilization based on Justice and Monotheism. 3. Explain to him that there can be no peace treaty with Muslims, because they do not keep treaties. Israel is too smart to sign another peace of paper for a fake peace. For 16 years, Israeli leaders have pissed away territory, security and deterrence for NOTHING. We have had enough. 4. There have been a long line of officials in the US State Department and CIA, who have worked hard to damage Israel’s ability to survive in its very hostile neighborhood. Time after time, they pull Israel back from total victory over its enemies. Those days are gone forever. 5. We are sick and tired of your Justice system targeting good Jews like Jonathan Pollard for exceptional anti-Semitic treatment. I say to you with full authority and intent that we will capture and try every CIA agent in Israel unless Pollard is released within 10 days. Enough is enough.

ANTI-SEMITIC JOURNALISTS UPSET THEY CAN’T GET INTO GAZA TO WRITE BIASED STORIES
by Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator Freeman Center For Strategic Studies January 8, 2009 Israel will not allow foreign journalists into Gaza. (1) The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) want to protect them. They also want to avoid having Hamas target them, and then blaming the Israelis. The anti-Semitism of the foreign press corp is Israel is legendary. Repeated instances of outright misrepresentation, distortion and staging events for the cameras are well known. The TV station - France 2 just broadcast a video of toddlers being laid out on a white sheet. The only problem was that scene occurred in 2005 when a Hamas ammunition truck exploded while on parade in Gaza. When they speak freely, such as was heard on a BBC panel of January 7th when Robert Fisk of the INDEPENDENT gave vent to his vicious views, their bias, if not hatred comes readily apparent. He has also published his vile and false accusations. The Israeli voice on this panel (for balance), Gil Hoffman of the JERUSALEM POST was literally pushed out by the BBC announcer who said he had to leave. Hoffman said: "No, I don’t." The BBC moderator let him stay for another 10 minutes and then evicted him. Others on the panel were a clearly anti-Semitic Professor and a presenter for Al Jezzera TV.

Jews in their own land, with their G-d, have great power, much more than the sum of arms and men. During Chanukah we should recall the legacy of the Maccabees. Remember how two "Hellenized Jews," Jason and Menelaus tried to destroy Judaism and force assimilation on the Jewish population. For generations we have taught our children about the evil Antiochus and his attempt to suppress the Jews. In reality, there were traitors among our own people who led the way for Antiochus.

THE NEXT POLITICAL WAR IN ISRAEL
by Emanuel A. Winston, Mid East Analyst & Commentator Freeman Center For Strategic Studies December 14, 2008 Strong indicators demonstrate that the Kadima mob is planning a theatrical attack sometime between now and the February elections. I observe Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (resigned for pending criminal indictment BUT, wielding the high powers of PM) visiting Sderot and making heroic speeches a bout his knowing when to strike a retaliatory "pose". Given Olmert has artfully avoided responding to years of Kassam Rocket, missile and mortar attacks on Sderot and Ashkelon, does he now think that time has arrived? Of course, he does - because national Israeli elections are coming in early February. Ehud Barak, as Minister of Defense, has restrained the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) from responding to Kassam, Mortar and Grad missile attacks. Now Barak needs to show his good "Generalship" in order to remain as the Head of his Labor Party faction - also in the coming elections. Keep in mind Tzipi Livni, current Foreign Minister, and Shimon Peres, current President - as planners and colluders with the U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to get approval for this limited assault on Gaza and Hamas.

THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL HAS OVERTHROWN ITSELF
by Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator November 23, 2008 Through incitement and provocation, the present Government of Israel has deliberately incited part of her population to revolt. At the same time, this non-Government has incited another part of the Israeli population to hate and attack those citizens being dispossessed of their rights, property - civilians who have had their lives put in great danger. Whatever mandate this government thinks it may have had to rule, based upon pre-election promises has been squandered away with a cold and calculating policy of "Dispossession". This exceedingly corrupt assemblage of politicians within the Kadima Party have made a mockery of any law or rights of her citizens. They have corrupted an already biased Court system. They have exercised control and influenced the office of Israel’s Attorney General and have enlisted officers of the both the Army and the Police to attack and dispossess her citizens of their rights and property.

BARACK OBAMA’S OBSESSION
(in his own words) By John Davis Freeman Center For Strategic Studies October 22, 2008 America strives for racial healing. She wants a "post-racial" messiah who will absolve her of her racial "guilt" and wounds. And she thinks she found him. His name is Barack Hussein Obama. But is he really the man he wants everybody believe he is? Or is he the one who himself is quite obsessed with the race? Nobody can answer these questions better than Barack Obama himself. And actually he answered them, answered fully in his book "The Dreams From My Father" written in 1995. But did we really listen to the answers? Born to a white mother and an African father whom he did not know Obama was struggling with his identity from the early years. With his mother away in Indonesia and far-away Kenyan father the main role in his upbringing went to "the street", to his friends. They had a great influence on the young boy. One of them was Ray to whom Obama devoted a lot of time in the book. It was on the basketball court where he met "Ray and the other blacks close to my age… teenagers whose confusion and anger would help shape my own. ‘That’s just how white folks will do you,’ one of them might say when we were alone. …White folks. The term itself was uncomfortable in my mouth at first. …Later, when I was alone, I would try to untangle these difficult thoughts. …Ray assured me that we would never talk about whites as whites in front of whites wthout knowng exactly what we were doing. Without knowing that there might be a price to pay." (80-81). Continue reading "BARACK OBAMA’S OBSESSION"

HOW SECURE ARE JEWS IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD?
By Dr. Irving Kett Freeman Center For Strategic Studies June 16, 2008 One of the significant milestones in Jewish history has recently taken place. The largest Jewish community in the world today lives in Israel. Within about ten years, it is anticipated, that in Israel will live the majority of World Jewry for the first time in 2,000 years. There are two reasons for this development. First the Jewish population in Israel is growing and that of diaspora Jewry is declining all over, including in the United States. About 20 years ago I read a book by Rabbi Meir Kahane, Z’L’, who was assasinated in New York City. The approximate title of the book was, Uncomfortable Questions for too Comfortable American Jews that deeply impressed me. It describes how we Jews have a predilection for avoiding looking at our own situation and the world that we live in realistically. It is for that reason that Jews are continuously searching for other people to help, such as those in Darfur and all the other unfortunate Hopttentots of the world, while purposely avoiding to examine the dangers and challenges confronting their own existence. We today face a serious worldwide recrudescence of anti-Semitism, the likes of which has not existed since the 1940,s. I firmly believe that we, our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are confronted with a repeat of the tremulous year of 1938 and the subsequent tragedies that befell the Jewish people. In my opinion our only possible salvation is to strengthen the State of Israel demographically, physically, militarily, and spiritually. The Nazi Holcaust, which came almost a half century after the establishment of the modern Zionist movement, compelled the Jews to fulfill its destiny to return and found the new Jewish State. After twenty years of independence, the Jewish People, meaning principally American Jews again went to sleep. Just as Jews did not prepare to confront the enemy planning the first Holocaust, Jews are again in deep slumber as 1.5 billion Moslems are committed to carry the second Holocaust of the remaining Jews.

Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator Freeman Center For Strategic Studies March 24, 2008 I know we Jews don’t seem to learn from History but, just in case here is an awakening: We are informed by DEBKAfile that Hezb’Allah has quadrupled its stock of Katyusha missiles to 40,000 since the 34 day Lebanon War of July-August of 2006. Hezb’Allah’s rocket arsenal is 3½ times its pre-2006 Lebanon War stockpile. Some of the 40,000 rockets of Syrian and Iranian manufacture can hit Israeli targets as far south as Beersheva, 350 km. Away from the Shi’ite terror group’s launching pads north of Lebanon’s Litani River. Between Hezb’Allah in the North and Hamas South in Gaza, these 2 surrogates of Iran can cover most of Israel except for Eilat. Syria has shipped to Hezb’Allah quantities of anti-air weapons, including shoulder-borne rockets and scores of Russian-made anti-aircraft ZSU-100 automatic 14.4 mm caliber cannon, effective against low-flying aircraft, helicopters and drones.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL’S SECURITY FORCES?
by Emanuel A. Winston, Freeman Center Middle East Analyst & Commentator Freeman Center For Strategic Studies - February 7, 2008 Once upon a long time ago, the Israeli people relied on the courts, Shabak (GSS), the police and the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). We were all proud of what was ethical behavior. People did not think of the system’s growing political corruption. Policemen were our friends and never to be feared as was the case in Egypt, Syria, Iran and especially Russia. How proud we all were of the Secret Services of Mossad and Shabak! Even the Judges, like Shamgar were considered honorable. But, that began to change under Leftist leadership who began to pack all the systems with political Leftists who would work against all those who were pejoratively called "The Political Right". The once honored pioneering settlers suddenly became the reason (according to the Left) that Palestinian Arab Muslims and the Arab Muslim world rampaged against the Jewish State. The fact of the conflict were brushed aside and, in its place, the new formula was "appeasement in the hope Terror would cease". After countless gestures of unreciprocated appeasement, conventional wisdom should have surfaced, indicating that the Arab Muslims were dedicated to "Jihad" (Holy War for Islam) and the liquidation of the Jewish State of Israel cannot be reasoned with.

HOW SECURE ARE JEWS IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD?
by Dr. Irving Kett Colonel, U.S. Army, Retired Freeman Center For Strategic Studies February 6, 2008 One of the most significant milestones in Jewish history has recently taken place. The largest Jewish community in the world today lives in Israel. Within about ten years, it is anticipated, that in Israel will live the majority of World Jewry for the first time in 2,000 years. About 20 years ago I read a book by an author whose name escapes me. The approximate title of the book was, Uncomfortable Questions for too Comfortable American Jews that deeply impressed me. It describes how we Jews have a predilection for avoiding looking at our own situation and the world that we live in realistically. It is for that reason that Jews are continuously looking to help other people, such as those in Darfur and all the other unfortunate Hopttentots of the world, while purposely avoiding to examine the dangers and challenges confronting their own existence. We today face a serious worldwide recrudescence of anti-Semitism, the likes of which has not existed since the 1940's. I firmly believe that we, our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are confronted with a repeat of the tremulous year of 1938 and the subsequent tragedies that befell the Jewish people. In my opinion our only possible salvation is to strengthen the State of Israel demographically, physically, militarily, and spiritually. Psychologists claim that between 3 to 1/3 of Jews are so emotionally traumatized by centuries of persecution and discrimination that they reject their own heritage and immerse themselves instead in the culture and problems of other people, even when the latter groups vehemently reject them and pour scorn and abject hatred upon them.

"BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS US - CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE US" by Emanuel A. Winston,
Member of the Board of Directors and a Research Associate Freeman Center For Strategic Studies As I read daily reports of the Israeli government succumbing to both their own prejudice against Jews and that of American pressure to cleanse the land of Jews, my rage grows. It is said that we Jews have the right to call upon our G-d for His retribution against our enemies. I personally have been "Shrei-ing Gevalt" and pleading with HaShem to curse the nations who curse us for what they have done and what they are still doing. First, I ask for G-d to do as he did when he cursed the Egyptian people through their Pharaoh with plague upon plague. Let the curses come "en masse" to include the deaths of the first-born. We already see the plague of the Muslim "Jihadists" as they kill all others - even as they kill themselves and teach their children as young as 3 to hate and kill.

CONDOLEEZZA RICE USES THE "N" WORD!
by Emanuel A. Winston, Member of the Board of Directors and Research Associate of Freeman Center For Strategic Studies Negotiate - Negotiate - Negotiate and "N"ever recognize that your negotiating partner is an irredentist, irreversible, irrevocable terrorist. Presently, Rice refuses to confront Iran until Iran is fully capable of responding with nuclear missiles which, of course, will be too late for everyone. No doubt, after she and Bush are out of Washington, the "N" lady will deny her Chamberlain role when those nukes begin to explode. Of course, the lady who preaches "Negotiate" is no longer able to negotiate "Peace in our time" ad nauseam, she and the Bush family will have to find a super deep bomb shelter while all else must suffer the radioactivity of her negotiating. Iran under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollahs have time and again showed their contempt for negotiations. Negotiations for Islamists are there only to gain time to develop the nuclear bomb and spread terror across the planet in the name of Allah. Continue reading "CONDOLEEZZA RICE USES THE "N" WORD!"

Machiavelli and the Decay of Western Civilization
by Prof Paul Eidelberg Member of the Board of Directors Freeman Center For Strategic Studies Machiavelli is the father of Modernity and Democracy and the creator of Secular Man par excellence. His deceptively simple book The Prince, so often trivialized, marks the Copernican revolution in politics.1 In that sibylline work Machiavelli undertook the world-historical task of destroying nothing less than the two pillars of Western civilization, classical Greek philosophy and Christianity, whose ethics, whether derived from Nature or nature’s God, derogate from the complete autonomy of human will and desire. The key to modernity will be found in Chapter 15 of The Prince.2 There Machiavelli lists ten pairs of qualities for which men, especially rulers, are praised or blamed – qualities which a ruler, “if he wishes to maintain himself,” must be able to “use” and “not use” “according to necessity.”3 Some rulers, he declares, “are held liberal, some miserly...[and/or] rapacious; some cruel, others full of pity; the one faithless, the other faithful; the one effeminate and pusillanimous, the other fierce and spirited; the one human, the other proud; the one lascivious, the other chaste; the one open, the other cunning; the one hard, the other easy; the one grave, the other light; the one religious, the other skeptical, and the like.” Continue reading "Machiavelli and the Decay of Western Civilization" Tuesday, December 5. 2006WISHFUL BUT LOGICAL THINKING
WISHFUL BUT LOGICAL THINKING
by Emanuel A. Winston Member Board of Direcectors and Research Associate Freeman Center For Strategic Studies Let us assume for a brief moment that both Iran and Syria would simply disappear. As the epicenters for Global Terrorism close down, what would Muslim terrorists world-wide do for support, training, safe houses, funds, and weapons? Granted, they could unleash whatever is in their power locally, in whatever country allowed them to bed down. But, they would have unleashed that damage at some time on orders from Tehran and Damascus. As they say: "Better Now Than Later!" So, who is at risk from a nuclear capable Iran?

Thursday, August 17. 2006WHY AM I VERY CONCERNED?
WHY AM I VERY CONCERNED?
By Christopher Barder After two weeks away from the UK and reading the New York Times and Boston Globe, I have returned to find some e mails missing and a lot of the potential provided by tragically essential warfare, squandered. Early on it was obvious that a full-scale land offensive was necessary to find Hizballah and to flush them out. It was also clear that aerial advantages had to be used to the full and provide every kind of protection for tanks and men in a close support role as well as a fully-fledged 'softening up' aspect. According to hopefully misleading media reports, Israel was surprised by enemy resistance levels. Or these reports were not mere disinformation and there was an Israeli intelligence failure. If however Israel knew what to expect, then its tactics did not use surprise and 'shock and awe' sufficiently. Continue reading "WHY AM I VERY CONCERNED?" Friday, July 28. 2006THE GLOBAL GOMORRAH
THE GLOBAL GOMORRAH
by Yashiko Sagamori Then Abraham said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?” The Lord answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” Gen. 18 Picture('L','http://middleeastfacts.com/yashiko/Gomorrah.bmp','') I can remember only two occasions when I watched the Discovery/Times Channel for more than a few seconds in a row. The first time they were showing a documentary about Saudi Arabia. There was a room with several women seated around a table. It was difficult to figure out how many of them were there because, covered head to toe with burqas, they all looked like big, black bowling pins and were just as impossible to tell apart. The women were trying to outdo each other extolling their incredibly good fortune to have been born into a culture that went to such drastic extremes to protect their honor. I listened for a while how happy they were to have to ask male relatives for a written permission to leave the house every time they had to go somewhere; how beautiful it was to become a third wife to a man you had never met until he climbed into your bed to claim your virginity; Continue reading "THE GLOBAL GOMORRAH" Monday, July 10. 2006Gaza - Proportionality and Collective Punishment
Gaza - Proportionality and Collective Punishment
in International Law By Eli E. Hertz July 9, 2006 To finance, recruit, train, house, feed, transport and murder Jews, is a collective Palestinian effort, requiring a collectively responsible response. In fact, poll after poll shows widespread collective support among the majority of the Palestinian population for suicide bombers and the destruction of Israel. In a poll just released, [1] the majority of Palestinian respondents 77.2% expressed support for the abduction of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and 60.4% supported the continuation of indiscriminate firing of deadly Qassam rockets into Israeli towns. It is a denial of reality to assume that only a small group of terrorists could be involved in thousands of documented acts of terror in the past 10 years by Palestinians from all walks of life. It would be reckless to assume that these acts of terror are isolated, undertaken independently, without the direct involvement of the Palestinian populace and the leadership they opt to elect.

Monday, June 5. 2006SHRINKING ISRAEL
SHRINKING ISRAEL
Forwarded with comments by Emanuel A. Winston For some time I have written about the U.S. State Department, describing its endemic hostility to the Jewish people and later to the Jewish State. Recently, an article appeared in the Yediot Ahronot (1) and the New York Monthly Herald of June 2006 (2). Apparently, the U.S. reached out to hostile Arabs three decades ago with an offer to work toward making Israel a "small friendly country" of no threat to its neighbors and with an assurance to Iraq that the U.S. had stopped backing Kurdish rebels in the north. "We can’t negotiate about the existence of Israel," then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told his Iraqi counterpart in a rare high-level meeting, "but, we can reduce its size to historical proportions." This was U.S. State Department policy, plans and doctrine. Once the U.S. succeeded in shrinking Israel to a size acceptable to Arab countries, whereby they would be assured that Israel would be of no threat to them, at that point, the Arab countries would advance beyond U.S. foreign policy to attack and destroy the minuscule Jewish State.

Psychiatrist Needed Urgently!
By Nadia Matar May 25, 2006 If we want to save the settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria, and thereby the very existence of the State of Israel, we apparently will have to begin with a considerable portion of our national-religious public receiving psychiatric care so that he can cure us of a mental disease that is deeply entrenched within us. As long as we suffer from this malady, we will not be able to act properly. I am referring to the fact that most of our public apparently does not regard the plans for the deportation of Jews, the destruction of settlements, and the handing over of parts of the homeland to the Arab enemy as a CRIME . And once this is not seen as a CRIME, then the public does not go out of its way to stop it. I received proof of this, once again, when I read through the responses to a report on Arutz7 Internet about Rabbi Lior's statement that "a community must vomit out a Kadima Member of Knesset."

The IDF: An Uncomfortable Analysis
by Moshe Feiglin Arutz Sheva - February 26, 2006 The IDF is part of our culture and national ethos. But the time has come to examine its objective status, the role that it is playing today in the State of Israel and the Gordian knot between it and the belief-based public. Our future depends on our ability to honestly assess our situation. Incorrect analysis will turn the naive, belief based public into the major tool for the destruction of Israel. What is the Current Strategic Threat to Israel? Continue reading "The IDF: An Uncomfortable Analysis" Sunday, February 19. 2006Playing Pretend About Middle East Realities
Playing Pretend About Middle East Realities
by Saul Singer The Jerusalem Post - February 16, 2006 The whole world - even Russia and Egypt - is ostensibly demanding that Hamas recognize Israel's right to exist. Yet what is really being demanded is that Hamas pretend to accept Israel, like the PLO did in 1988. Unfortunately, as we have seen, pretend recognition can only produce! pretend peace. Luckily, perhaps, Hamas has shown few signs of giving up its hallmark honesty as to its goals. As Mahmoud al-Zahar, a key Hamas leader, explained to an Israeli paper during the campaign in October: "Some Israelis think that when we talk of the West Bank and Gaza it means we have given up our historic war. This is not the case." Speaking in Sudan this week, Khaled Mashaal, Hamas's Damascus-based leader, said: "Our goal is to free Jerusalem and to purify Al-Aksa Mosque... Don't fear, we will not recognize Israel." Continue reading "Playing Pretend About Middle East Realities" Friday, February 10. 2006Where Olmert Leads, Israel Mustn't Follow
Where Olmert Leads, Israel Mustn't Follow
by Caroline Glick THE JERUSALEM POST - February 10, 2006 Israel's public debate is known for its ferocity and general nastiness, but very rarely is the prime minister called a bold-faced liar. The fact that both the Likud and Labor called Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert just that after he gave his first televised interview as acting premier Tuesday night is therefore significant. In that interview, as during the tour he conducted earlier that day along the route of the security fence around Jerusalem, Olmert pledged that if he forms the next government, he will establish Israel's permanent borders. Olmert said those borders will maintain Ma'aleh Adumim and Gush Etzion under Israeli sovereignty. A unified Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley will also remain under Israeli control, he promised.
