1. KNOWING WHAT WE ARE MISSING
By Jonathan Rosenblum - jewishworldreview.com - July 27, 2004=20
For most Jews around the world, today will pass like any other =
day. They will not observe any of the traditional mourning customs for =
Tisha B'Av. Indeed they don't even know what historical events Tisha =
B'Av commemorates. If they were told that the mourning is for the =
destruction of the two Temples in Jerusalem, they would be puzzled about =
why such long ago events should occasion any great sadness.=20
Even among those of us who fast the entire day and observed the =
other "afflictions" of Tisha B'Av, there are few from whose eyes tear =
will pour copiously during the reading of Lamentations, as was once =
common. We have lived so long in a world devoid of the sanctity =
represented by the Temple that we cannot comprehend what was lost. Nor =
can we conceive how that level of holiness could once again be part of =
our lives.=20
The Temple Mount, where the Temples stood, is today less a symbol =
of our past than of how alienated we are from that past. Successive =
Israeli governments casually permitted the Moslem Wakf to systematically =
destroy all evidence of the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount. The =
Moslem Wakf was permitted, in recent years, to build two new large =
mosques on the site, one by converting the ancient stables of Solomon. =
All this work was carried out without any archaeological supervision, as =
required by the Antiquities Law.=20
In the course of the work, thousands of tons of dirt were dumped =
unceremoniously in the Kidron Valley. Discovered later in the rubble was =
a three-foot long stone fragment, which one archaeologist called "the =
most important artifact ever recovered from the Temple Mount."=20
The lack of regard for the site to which Jews throughout the =
millennia have always turned in prayer was fully reflected in the =
negotiations following Camp David. Prime Minister Ehud Barak agreed to =
cede all sovereignty over the Temple Mount in return only for a =
Palestinian acknowledgment of the Jewish claim of a historical =
connection. Even that Arafat was unwilling to grant. Arafat wanted the =
Jews to abase themselves by conceding that their holiest place is more =
important to Arabs than it is to Jews. Such abasement, he knew, would be =
one more cut in the ever more tenuous bonds joining the Jews of Israel =
to their past. (Natan Sharansky revealed recently that less than 50% of =
Israeli high school students living outside Jerusalem have ever visited =
the capital, much less the Western Wall.)=20
The Palestinians understand, as we do not, that a nation without a =
past is a nation without a future. Palestinian legislator Selah Temari =
writes in his memoirs of his shock at seeing his Jewish jailer eating =
bread on Pesach. In response to Temari's query, the guard replied, "Do =
you really expect me not to eat bread today because of something that =
happened over 3,000 years ago?" That night, Temari relates, he could not =
sleep. In the course of the night, he went from believing that Israel =
was invincible to being convinced that the Palestinians could one day =
regain the entirety of the Land because the Jews have lost their sense =
of connection.=20
The Temple, of course, was not just a building or a geographical =
location. When the pilgrims poured into Jerusalem from all over the Land =
for the Festivals, the Temple became the great symbol of Jewish unity -- =
a physical manifestation, write Nachmanides, of the unity at Sinai when =
we received the Torah as "one man with one heart."=20
In the wilderness, the Jews lived surrounded by constant miracles. =
According to one interpretation, they cried on the night of Tisha B'Av =
night, after hearing the report of the Spies, because they doubted their =
ability to live in the same closeness to G-d upon entering the Land and =
resuming a normal physical existence.=20
The Temple, the dwelling place of the Divine Presence on earth, =
provided proof that the relationship could be maintained even within the =
confines of the natural world. When, however, the people lost their =
internal unity and were no longer worthy of having the Divine Presence =
in their midst, the Temple was destroyed.=20
Our alienation from our past and from the One Whose presence dwelt =
in the Temple G-d can only be remedied through an awareness of what we =
once possessed and are now lacking.=20
"All those who mourn for Jerusalem," say our Sages, "will one day =
witness her rejoicing." Until we can cry for our estrangement on an =
individual and collective level from the irreducible point of divinity =
within, the pilgrims' song of rejoicing will not be heard.=20

The Mountains of Israel is an exciting and refreshing new =
perspective on the Arab-Israeli conflict, clearly outlining how God is =
fulfilling His Word in modern-day Israel. It is highly suitable for the =
beginning reader on Israel and for those who have studied Israel from a =
Scriptural perspective for years.

2. FRANCE - KERRY'S ISRAEL PROBLEM
By Caroline Glick - The Jerusalem Post - July 30, 2004=20
The arrival Wednesday morning of a special El Al flight at Ben =
Gurion airport with 200 French Jews immigrating to Israel was a =
beautiful thing. As they disembarked, to the buzz of news crews from =
around the world, the new arrivals broke out in song and dance as Prime =
Minister Ariel Sharon welcomed our brothers and sisters home. It was =
enough to turn the greatest cynic into a sobbing idealist.=20
The scene was significant not simply because every time a Jew =
moves to Israel we see the Zionist dream come true. It was significant =
also because it came just a week and a half after Sharon, in a moment of =
moral leadership and clarity, told the Jews of France, "If I have to =
advocate to our brothers in France, I will tell them one thing: Move to =
Israel, as early as possible."=20
In the first six months of 2004, the French Interior Ministry =
recorded 510 anti-Jewish attacks or threats. During the whole of 2003, =
only 563 such incidents were reported. Yet, in the wake of Sharon's call =
for French Jews to come to Israel, where they will be able to live =
proudly, if not safely, as Jews, French President Jacques Chirac went =
ballistic. If there is anything the French hate, it is moral clarity.=20
Sharon's remarks coincided nicely with France's success in =
bringing the entire European Union on board in voting for the UN General =
Assembly resolution condemning the security fence. That resolution was =
itself founded on the International Court of Justice's ruling that =
Israel has no right to build the fence to protect ourselves from =
Palestinian suicide bombers.=20
It is no coincidence that France was acting in an overtly hostile =
manner toward the Jewish state when Sharon made his declaration. In =
recent years, rarely a day has gone by without some French leader doing =
something to make common cause with those devoted to the annihilation of =
the Jewish state.=20
From the French ambassador to Britain's statement calling Israel a =
"sh-tty little country," to former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard's =
declaration that the creation of Israel was "a mistake", to its =
persistent support of Arafat despite mountains of evidence implicating =
him as a current and active mastermind of terror, France has made it =
plain that it is an opponent, not an ally, in the Arab-Muslim war to =
destroy us. So yes, it was sweet to see 200 Jews telling us that they =
see their future here and not in France.=20
The problem with France is not simply that one in five French =
citizens voted for an avowed Holocaust-denier in the last election. Nor =
is it just that almost every week we hear another story about a =
synagogue torched, a rabbi beaten, a Jewish cemetery or Holocaust =
memorial defaced with swastikas or Jewish children terrorized on the =
subway or on their way to Hebrew school. Nor is it that France hates =
Israel. The French hating Israel is nothing that keeps anyone here awake =
at night.=20
The problem with France, rather, is that it has appointed itself =
arbiter of global justice, and in so doing inserted itself as a key =
factor in the US presidential race.=20
Senator John F. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, has =
made his objections to Bush administration's foreign policy a defining =
issue of his candidacy. During this week's Democratic national =
convention in Boston, speaker after speaker took to the podium and =
declared that under a Kerry presidency, the US would not act =
"unilaterally." A Washington Post analysis of Kerry's basic message to =
American voters noted that Kerry's major theme is a "restoration" of US =
positions during the 1990's under the Clinton administration.=20
As former Clinton administration official and current Kerry =
foreign policy adviser Richard Holbrooke put it to the Post, the Bush =
administration advocated "extremist ideas" that had "never had a voice =
in the policymaking bodies of the executive branch." One such idea, the =
Post paraphrased, was "acting unilaterally." But what does "acting =
unilaterally" mean? It does not mean "going it alone." After all, there =
are several dozen other countries actively involved in US operations in =
Iraq as well as in Afghanistan.=20
Neither does "acting unilaterally" mean that in Iraq the US is =
acting outside of a clear UN Security Council mandate. Ahead of the =
US-led operations in Kosovo in 1999, in which Holbrooke played a key =
role, Russia used the threat of its Security Council veto to prevent the =
US from taking action under a UN umbrella. Yet no one has ever accused =
the US of acting unilaterally in Kosovo.=20
What "acting unilaterally" actually means to Holbrooke and Kerry =
is that the multilateral coalition Bush assembled in Iraq does not =
include France. It was France that prevented a UN Security Council =
resolution backing the US-led invasion, and it was France that led the =
EU and NATO to reject US requests to forge coalitions under whose aegis =
the US would lead the war against Saddam's regime.=20
With its UN Security Council veto, its membership in NATO and its =
leading position in the EU, France has fashioned itself the =
indispensable ally for Eurocentric Americans. This it has done in spite =
of the fact that France has opposed almost every single US foreign =
policy initiative since September 11. Yet, in spite of France's overt =
hostility, administration critics still believe that the US cannot =
garner a politically palatable coalition for action on the international =
stage without French involvement.=20
One of the truly disturbing aspects of France's success in so =
positioning itself is that the veneer of respectability of a =
French-approved coalition is so thick that even when such coalitions =
fail abysmally, no one seems to notice. Thus, according to a recently =
released report by Human Rights Watch, it was the French forces who were =
most responsible for NATO-led Kosovo force's decision to remain =
garrisoned as thousands of Kosovar Christians were evicted from their =
homes and villages by Albanian Muslims even as they were begged to come =
forward and protect these minorities. But who's noticing?=20
It is hard to know precisely what a Kerry presidency would hold in =
store for Israel specifically.=20
Yes, it is true that he seems to pay inordinate respect to =
outspoken Israel-bashers such as former President Jimmy Carter and =
Carter's National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Then again, Bush =
appointed the harshly anti-Israel Marine General Anthony Zinni to be his =
Middle East mediator shortly after assuming office.=20
Yes, it is true that Kerry seems determined on forcing Israel back =
to the negotiating table with Arafat and using Dennis Ross and Martin =
Indyk as his emissaries in spite of the colossal failure of every policy =
the two men advocated during the Clinton presidency. But Bush has =
adopted the Road Map, which formally, if not practically, gives the EU, =
Russia and the UN the status of arbiters in the Palestinian conflict =
with Israel.=20
One thing though, is clear enough. In the unrelenting emphasis =
Kerry places on a certain brand of "multilateralism," he is providing =
undue, unreasonable and unacceptable legitimacy to a country that does =
not wish Israel well. Kerry can choose to be a friend of France, or he =
can choose to be a friend of Israel. But this is one area where he can't =
have it both ways.=20

3. PEANUT BRITTLE...
by Gerald A. Honigman - July 29, 2004=20
Let's get something straight right from the get-go.=20
I'm a registered Democrat (though have voted and will vote =
otherwise again on occasion) and play second to few on the same =
environmental issues that Jimmy Carter championed while in the Oval =
Office. I voted for him. So I'm not automatically triggered to be =
nauseated by the man.=20
But it's when Mr. Peanut turns to Arab-Israeli issues that he =
totally loses it.=20
His "truths" crumble before any objective assessment. He has never =
met an Arab disemboweler of Jewish babes and grandmas that he hasn't =
blamed the Jews themselves for.=20
Pardon me if I'm not sounding too respectful, but the ex-President =
has been shown to be a blatant hypocrite and, despite delusions about =
his own self-worth (an argument could be made that the Camp David =
Accords occurred despite him, not because of him), an outright menace to =
the survival of a viable Jewish State. What's even more frightening, =
John Kerry has mentioned him as his potential special envoy for the =
Middle East (not that Bush's James Baker is any better).=20
And now, there he was on July 26th, amid current genocidal =
atrocities being carried out by Arabs against Black African Sudanese =
just as he spoke, ranting on behalf of Palestinian Arabs at the =
Democratic Convention. No attempt at balance either.=20
Carter's vision, like Chamberlain's at Munich prior to World War =
II as he betrayed Czechoslovakia (allegedly over a heavily =
German-populated Sudetenland), is to buy "peace" for America and the =
world via selling out friends...this time Israel. Missing was any =
mention about what the Arabs need to do themselves in order to allow =
peace to blossom, like stopping their hate mongering and terrorism and =
agreeing that others, besides themselves, are due a semblance of =
justice...for starters. All that we heard were simply more fulminations =
about what America must do to help Arabs who still will not accept an =
Israel regardless of size and despite any additional concessions it will =
make. His was the typically one-sided squeeze the Jews message that he =
has repeatedly given.=20
Almost a year earlier, for example, in an Indian summer blast of =
hot air in the September 23, 2003 Washington Post ("The Choice For =
Israelis"), he proclaimed that the occupied territories and settlement =
issue were the main causes of Arab resentment and thus the violence as =
well. James Pinkerton reported similarly in the Houston Chronicle this =
past April. This is Mr. Peanut's standard line when it comes to =
Arab-Israeli politics.=20
There's no rest for those who care, and we are forced to repeat =
some key facts, ad nauseam, with the hope that they will register with =
an ever-wider audience. So, here we go again...=20
Surely Carter's aware of poll after poll taken among Arabs that =
have shown that even if Israel withdrew completely from those disputed =
areas (not "occupied Arab lands"), the Arabs would still reject Israel's =
right to exist. It's not how big Israel is but that Israel is that has =
always been the problem...and Mr. Peanut knows this. And he knows about =
the offers made by Barak and Clinton at Camp David 2000 and Taba which =
would have handed over 97% of those disputed territories--including one =
half of Jerusalem and a $33 billion bonus as icing on the cake--to =
Arafat's boys. And he knows what the bloody Arab "counter offer " has =
been...hundreds of deliberately murdered Israeli civilians. Arafat built =
that fence recently put on trial in Geneva. Yet Carter insists on =
prodding Jews to take suicidal chances and forsake security measures =
with a bloodthirsty enemy he wouldn't dream of asking others to do.=20
Who's kidding whom here?=20
Surely he knows that the PLO was formed in 1964...long before =
Israel was in the territories. And surely he knows that nothing has =
changed in the Arab mindset since then or before. Carter sees the =
Palestinian Authority websites, maps, schoolbooks, hears the imams =
calling for death to the Jews, etc. He knows full well that the proposed =
22nd or 23rd Arab state--second one to be created within the original =
borders of Mandatory Palestine as Britain received it on April 25, =
1920--plans to replace Israel, not live side by side with it. The =
evidence for this is overwhelming.=20
It's no accident that at the summits leading up to the roadmap, =
Ahmed Qurei'--latest Arafatian chief marionette--went on record opposing =
the use of the word "Jewish" along with "State of Israel." Of course, =
not a peep out of Mr. Peanut about this and its implications. And these =
folks still insist that Israel, after being made to return to its 9-mile =
wide, pre-'67 armistice line existence, then agree to absorb millions of =
real or alleged descendants of Arab refugees. The half of Israel's Jews =
who were refugees themselves from so-called "Arab" lands doesn't seem to =
register with him. And the lie that the so-called "Geneva Initiative," =
led by Carter's politically impotent Arab and suicidal Israeli friends, =
renounced the "right of return" was just that...a lie.=20
At the close of hostilities after the invasion by Arab states of a =
nascent Israel in 1948, the fragile, U.N-imposed armistice lines made =
Israel a constant temptation to its enemies. Most of Israel's population =
and industry lies in that narrow waistband. Mr. Carter knows full well =
that you need a magnifying glass to find Israel in a map of the =
region...a microscope for a map of the world.=20
He has frequently brought up U.N. Resolution #242 to support his =
position for Israel's departure from the disputed territories. Just like =
Chamberlain had to know that Hitler would not be satisfied with just the =
Sudetenland back in 1938 but sacrificed the Czechs anyway, the evidence =
is quite clear regarding Arab intentions in their well-known =
"destruction in stages scenario" for Israel. And Chamberlain--er =
Carter--knows this as well. Yet, while he's been a bit more careful in =
his wording of late, he still implies that a virtually total Israeli =
withdrawal is required by 242. That's what his continuous rants about =
occupation and settlements are all about.=20
Nations have acquired territories, toppled governments, and such =
thousands of miles away from home in the name of their own security, but =
Mr. Carter can't seem to figure out that Israel's 9-mile wide, =
artificially-imposed existence (the '49 armistice lines were never meant =
to be final borders) was a travesty of justice in desperate need of =
rectification.=20
Whatever the size or shape the proposed additional Arab state =
might eventually be, it must not come at the expense of security of the =
sole, miniscule state of the Jews.=20
In the aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War Israel was forced to =
fight after it was blockaded at the Straits of Tiran and other =
life-threatening hostile acts, U.N. Resolution #242 did not demand that =
Israel return to the status quo ante. The architects of that resolution =
such as Eugene Rostow, Arthur Goldberg, and others all stressed quite =
the contrary, and their views are readily accessible.=20
242 called, instead, for the creation of "secure and recognized =
borders" to replace those fragile armistice lines. There is no way that =
Carter cannot know this, yet he pretends to be deaf, dumb, and blind =
because it goes counter to his own "vision." Most of Israel's =
settlements have been built on strategic high ground areas for this =
reason. Even with these left in place, Israel's width goes from 9 miles =
up to perhaps around twenty in that waist bordering the West Bank/Judea =
and Samaria. Most people in America drive further than that just to go =
to work. Any roadmap discussions must continue to take this into =
account. Those currently involving the debate over the path of the =
security fence are particularly relevant. While compromises are in =
order, Carter's demands, advice, or whatever on this issue (like that of =
the recent UN politicized mouthpiece, the International Court of =
Justice) are not. His brother Billy made lots of money endearing himself =
to Arab oil folks. I haven't checked Mr. Peanut's records yet myself, =
but I've been told he has received plenty of Arab donations for his =
views. On this issue, however, in all fairness, he certainly couldn't be =
worse than the Bushes and their own closest friends and political =
allies. Best buddy James Baker's law firm, for example, represents the =
Saudis in this country.=20
Carter speaks of the territories as if Palestinian Arabs (many of =
whom were newcomers-- settlers-- themselves in Palestine) had exclusive =
rights there. Contrary to popular current protestations, these are not =
"occupied Palestinian Arab lands."=20
Leading scholars such as William O'Brien, Rostow, and others have =
pointed out that these lands were non-apportioned areas of the Mandate, =
and all residents--Arabs, Jews, etc.--had the right to live there. =
Indeed, Jews had lived and owned land in Judea and Samaria until their =
earlier massacres by Arabs. And Mr. Carter knows this too...as he does =
the writings of the so-called "moderates" like the late showcased Faisal =
Husseini whose goal was/is still a purely Arab Palestine from the River =
to the Sea.=20
Indeed, the "moderates" of the good cop/ bad cop game the Arabs =
have played to gain concessions from the Jews speak in terms of =
temporary, meaningless concessions to the Jews as the Trojan Horse that =
will be used to deliver the final prize, Arafat's modern professed =
version of the "Peace of the Quraysh." The latter were the pagan tribe =
the Muslim Prophet, Muhammad, made a temporary truce with until he =
gained the position and strength to deliver the final blow. Talk of a =
new "truce" with Arafat falls into this same category. Arabs offer this =
hudna while expecting Israel to yield to all of their demands.=20
So it's time to call it what it really is...=20
Jews have repeatedly offered Arabs reasonable compromises and an =
honorable way out of this bloody mess. It is Arabs who have rejected all =
of these. The plain truth is that any solution which is not another =
Final Solution will not be acceptable to Arabs...at least those with =
both the real power and the power to influence their own captive masses. =
And Mr. Peanut knows this too...which makes what he says and does even =
light years worse.=20
Carter's constant demand that Israel cave in to such above hogwash =
is nothing short of hostile intent on his part towards the Jewish State. =
He expects no others to bare their necks so freely to their sworn =
murderous enemies as he does Jews. Indeed, the prospect of him having =
any influence over a potential Democrat in office is frightening.=20
When I see Mr. Peanut show the same concern over the plight of =
millions of Blacks in Africa, who have been slaughtered, enslaved, =
turned into refugees, and the like, or that of some thirty million =
perpetually victimized, stateless Kurds, who have suffered likewise in =
the name of the Arab nation, as he does for creating a 22nd or 23rd =
state for Arabs (on the ashes of Israel...but fear not, he'll give a =
proper southern gentleman's eulogy), then I might give any credence to =
what he says again.=20
For now, his blatant hypocrisy and double standards vis-=E0-vis =
Jews and Israel simply make him a spokesman for the Arab cause.=20
Furthermore, knowing what his politics are like and that he has =
become a virtual attack dog on Israel, the Democrats had surely figured =
out beforehand what words of wisdom he was likely to spout as he was =
showcased at their convention on July 26th. And this, unfortunately, =
perhaps also says something as well.=20

4. TAKE THIS PATH TO PEACE
By Charles Walton - a CAFI supporter - July 251, 2004=20
We now enter a fresh round of bargaining in the Middle East. No =
line can be drawn today which both parties can accept. The hatred is too =
intense. We must lay the people-to-people ground work to ease this =
tension. For examples:=20
Each country's leaders must visit one another's capitals. A visit =
need not mean approval of behavior by the other party. The Arab country =
leaders should visit Jerusalem, while Sharon and his other key political =
leaders will visit Riyadh, Damascus, Cairo, Beirut, and Ramullah. This =
is a neutral idea, not favoring one party over another, yet illuminating =
on the degreeof acceptance.=20
Let trade begin. When good business habits are established, it =
pays to settle disputes with negotiation, rather than war. Let tourism =
between Israel and Arab states flourish. Let Israel join the =
International Red Cross and cooperate with the Red Crescent These are =
not naive ideas, hard to implement, but rather necessary steps to =
progress.=20
Let both parties submit for widespread public review their early =
grade school books, in order to eliminate lies, and to demonstrate =
honest education. Let children in their early years get a true view of =
their own and the other's behavior, rather than receive corrupt =
educational propaganda, as now practiced.=20
Let the Peace movements flourish in the Arab countries as well as =
in Israel.=20
Populations need to be prepared for peace making. The leaders of =
Israel have said to their population that there may be regrettable =
shortcomings in the final settlement, such as possible loss of some =
settlements. The leaders of the Arab countries have not, in general, as =
far as I can tell, spoken to their people of the necessity to recognize =
Israel or loss of the so-called "right of return".=20
After the preceding steps are taken, drawing mutually aceptable =
terms will be easier. Avoidance of steps such as visits lets the tension =
continue. Human people interaction is needed.=20

5. ISRAEL AND PRESBYTERIANS
Jerusalem Post Editorial - July 25, 2004=20
Last week, delegates representing the three-million-strong =
American Presbyterian Church voted, by a margin of 431-62, to study the =
idea of divesting itself from Israel - that is, refusing to invest =
church moneys in companies that do over $1 million annually in business =
here.=20
Furthermore, they voted 471-34 in favor of a motion condemning the =
separation fence for "[ghettoizing] the Palestinians and [forcing] them =
onto what can only be called reservations." And they voted 260 to 233 to =
continue to fund a Philadelphia congregation, Avodat Yisrael, which =
missionizes among Jews.=20
As enthusiasms go, the Presbyterian one is a bit behind the curve: =
Divestment mania pretty much peaked in 2002. Partly it was a victim of =
its own excess; its less militant advocates found themselves feeling a =
bit queasy as (left-wing) Israeli academics were forced off the boards =
of scholarly British journals simply for being Israeli.=20
But mainly divestment was stopped because of the words of one man, =
Harvard University President Lawrence Summers. In September 2002, =
Summers noted that "where anti-Semitism and views that are profoundly =
anti-Israeli have traditionally been the primary preserve of poorly =
educated right-wing populists, profoundly anti-Israel views are =
increasingly finding support in progressive intellectual communities.=20
Serious and thoughtful people are advocating and taking actions =
that are anti-Semitic in their effect if not their intent." Among the =
examples he listed were calls "to single out Israel among all nations as =
the lone country where it is inappropriate for any part of the =
university's endowment to be invested."=20
"The university," he added, "has categorically rejected this =
suggestion."=20
Summers's statement was significant because it issued from the =
high temple of American high culture. It was courageous because it put =
collegial niceties aside to take direct aim at members of Summers's =
faculty. And it was important because it marked in a very clear way the =
spot where anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism converge.=20
This is very close to the spot where the Presbyterian Church - =
generally a "progressive intellectual community" in its own right - has =
now planted itself. It claims to have taken the vote "as part of a =
larger commitment... to human rights and social justice all around the =
world."=20
In fairness, the church has divested itself from an oil company =
doing business in Tibet. Over the years, it has issued reports on =
"issues of justice related to North and South Korea, Rwanda, Taiwan, =
Central American states, and many others." And it insists its interest =
is merely in "selective" divestment, from companies "whose business in =
Israel is found to be directly or indirectly causing harm or suffering =
to innocent people, Palestinian or Israeli."=20
These caveats aside, it defies common sense that the church did =
not know exactly what kind of message it was sending (and =
message-sending is what these votes are about) by targeting Israel this =
way. We will not argue with the assembly's interpretation of events =
here, which sees the occupation as "the principal cause of the =
conflict."=20
This may be an erroneous view, but it's a legitimate one. What is =
not legitimate is to single out Israel for special opprobrium, when =
fewer Palestinians have been killed over the past four years of fighting =
than the Janjaweed militia murdered last week in the Darfur region of =
Sudan.=20
On this current human-rights and social-justice issue, however, =
the Presbyterian delegates were silent.=20
For many years now, mainline Protestant churches have taken an =
increasingly hostile stance toward Israel, while evangelical churches =
have tilted strongly toward Israel. If there is a consolation for =
Israel, it is that the mainline denominations are in decline while the =
latter are flourishing. The reasons for these patterns probably have =
little to do with their views vis-a-vis Israel.=20
But it ought to be of some concern to American Jewry that the very =
people with whom they might otherwise make common cause on domestic =
issues have taken such a hostile position on Israel.=20
More broadly, it is of great concern to Jews everywhere that this =
slide toward outright anti-Semitism is taking place in the very quarters =
from which one might expect sympathy or at least nuance in judgment. =
With its vote last week, the American Presbyterian Church showed =
neither.=20

6. QUOTES AND QUICK NOTES
Petition condemns church for 'hatred' of Israel
An online petition signed by more than 2,000 people protests the =
Presbyterian Church USA general assembly's decision to side with =
Palestinian Arabs and against Israel, choosing to divest from the Jewish =
state as it did only with apartheid South Africa=20

7. HIGHLIGHT ARTICLES
a.. Return the Israeli Flag to the Temple Mount! the State of =
Israel exists for 56 years. Of these, we were truly, in the words of the =
Hatikvah, "a free people in its land" only for four hours. Those four =
hours were those in which the Israeli flag waved above the Temple Mount. =
b.. The Other Refugees ...a whole "Palestine industry" has =
arisen dedicated to the articulation of this group's point of view, =
while systematically ignoring that of the Jews.=20

<H3>1. <A name=3D1>KNOWING WHAT WE ARE =
MISSING</A></H3>By=20
Jonathan Rosenblum - jewishworldreview.com - July 27, 2004=20
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>F</FONT>or most Jews around the =
world,=20
today will pass like any other day. They will not observe any of =
the=20
traditional mourning customs for Tisha B'Av. Indeed they don't =
even know=20
what historical events Tisha B'Av commemorates. If they were told =
that the=20
mourning is for the destruction of the two Temples in Jerusalem, =
they=20
would be puzzled about why such long ago events should occasion =
any great=20
sadness.=20
<P>Even among those of us who fast the entire day and observed the =
other=20
"afflictions" of Tisha B'Av, there are few from whose eyes tear =
will pour=20
copiously during the reading of Lamentations, as was once common. =
We have=20
lived so long in a world devoid of the sanctity represented by the =
Temple=20
that we cannot comprehend what was lost. Nor can we conceive how =
that=20
level of holiness could once again be part of our lives.=20
<P>The Temple Mount, where the Temples stood, is today less a =
symbol of=20
our past than of how alienated we are from that past. Successive =
Israeli=20
governments casually permitted the Moslem Wakf to systematically =
destroy=20
all evidence of the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount. The =
Moslem Wakf=20
was permitted, in recent years, to build two new large mosques on =
the=20
site, one by converting the ancient stables of Solomon. All this =
work was=20
carried out without any archaeological supervision, as required by =
the=20
Antiquities Law.=20
<P>In the course of the work, thousands of tons of dirt were =
dumped=20
unceremoniously in the Kidron Valley. Discovered later in the =
rubble was a=20
three-foot long stone fragment, which one archaeologist called =
"the most=20
important artifact ever recovered from the Temple Mount."=20
<P>The lack of regard for the site to which Jews throughout the =
millennia=20
have always turned in prayer was fully reflected in the =
negotiations=20
following Camp David. Prime Minister Ehud Barak agreed to cede all =
sovereignty over the Temple Mount in return only for a Palestinian =
acknowledgment of the Jewish claim of a historical connection. =
Even that=20
Arafat was unwilling to grant. Arafat wanted the Jews to abase =
themselves=20
by conceding that their holiest place is more important to Arabs =
than it=20
is to Jews. Such abasement, he knew, would be one more cut in the =
ever=20
more tenuous bonds joining the Jews of Israel to their past. =
(Natan=20
Sharansky revealed recently that less than 50% of Israeli high =
school=20
students living outside Jerusalem have ever visited the capital, =
much less=20
the Western Wall.)=20
<P>The Palestinians understand, as we do not, that a nation =
without a past=20
is a nation without a future. Palestinian legislator Selah Temari =
writes=20
in his memoirs of his shock at seeing his Jewish jailer eating =
bread on=20
Pesach. In response to Temari's query, the guard replied, "Do you =
really=20
expect me not to eat bread today because of something that =
happened over=20
3,000 years ago?" That night, Temari relates, he could not sleep. =
In the=20
course of the night, he went from believing that Israel was =
invincible to=20
being convinced that the Palestinians could one day regain the =
entirety of=20
the Land because the Jews have lost their sense of connection.=20
<P>The Temple, of course, was not just a building or a =
geographical=20
location. When the pilgrims poured into Jerusalem from all over =
the Land=20
for the Festivals, the Temple became the great symbol of Jewish =
unity -- a=20
physical manifestation, write Nachmanides, of the unity at Sinai =
when we=20
received the Torah as "one man with one heart."=20
<P>In the wilderness, the Jews lived surrounded by constant =
miracles.=20
According to one interpretation, they cried on the night of Tisha =
B'Av=20
night, after hearing the report of the Spies, because they doubted =
their=20
ability to live in the same closeness to G-d upon entering the =
Land and=20
resuming a normal physical existence.=20
<P>The Temple, the dwelling place of the Divine Presence on earth, =
provided proof that the relationship could be maintained even =
within the=20
confines of the natural world. When, however, the people lost =
their=20
internal unity and were no longer worthy of having the Divine =
Presence in=20
their midst, the Temple was destroyed.=20
<P>Our alienation from our past and from the One Whose presence =
dwelt in=20
the Temple G-d can only be remedied through an awareness of what =
we once=20
possessed and are now lacking.=20
<P>"All those who mourn for Jerusalem," say our Sages, "will one =
day=20
witness her rejoicing." Until we can cry for our estrangement on =
an=20
individual and collective level from the irreducible point of =
divinity=20
within, the pilgrims' song of rejoicing will not be heard.=20

Caroline Glick - The Jerusalem Post - July 30, 2004=20
<P><FONT color=3D#800000 size=3D+2>T</FONT>he arrival Wednesday =
morning of a=20
special El Al flight at Ben Gurion airport with 200 French Jews=20
immigrating to Israel was a beautiful thing. As they disembarked, =
to the=20
buzz of news crews from around the world, the new arrivals broke =
out in=20
song and dance as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon welcomed our =
brothers and=20
sisters home. It was enough to turn the greatest cynic into a =
sobbing=20
idealist.=20
<P>The scene was significant not simply because every time a Jew =
moves to=20
Israel we see the Zionist dream come true. It was significant also =
because=20
it came just a week and a half after Sharon, in a moment of moral=20
leadership and clarity, told the Jews of France, "If I have to =
advocate to=20
our brothers in France, I will tell them one thing: Move to =
Israel, as=20
early as possible."=20
<P>In the first six months of 2004, the French Interior Ministry =
recorded=20
510 anti-Jewish attacks or threats. During the whole of 2003, only =
563=20
such incidents were reported. Yet, in the wake of Sharon's call =
for French=20
Jews to come to Israel, where they will be able to live proudly, =
if not=20
safely, as Jews, French President Jacques Chirac went ballistic. =
If there=20
is anything the French hate, it is moral clarity.=20
<P>Sharon's remarks coincided nicely with France's success in =
bringing the=20
entire European Union on board in voting for the UN General =
Assembly=20
resolution condemning the security fence. That resolution was =
itself=20
founded on the International Court of Justice's ruling that Israel =
has no=20
right to build the fence to protect ourselves from Palestinian =
suicide=20
bombers.=20
<P>It is no coincidence that France was acting in an overtly =
hostile=20
manner toward the Jewish state when Sharon made his declaration. =
In recent=20
years, rarely a day has gone by without some French leader doing =
something=20
to make common cause with those devoted to the annihilation of the =
Jewish=20
state.=20
<P>From the French ambassador to Britain's statement calling =
Israel a=20
"sh-tty little country," to former French Prime Minister Michel =
Rocard's=20
declaration that the creation of Israel was "a mistake", to its =
persistent=20
support of Arafat despite mountains of evidence implicating him as =
a=20
current and active mastermind of terror, France has made it plain =
that it=20
is an opponent, not an ally, in the Arab-Muslim war to destroy us. =
So yes,=20
it was sweet to see 200 Jews telling us that they see their future =
here=20
and not in France.=20
<P>The problem with France is not simply that one in five French =
citizens=20
voted for an avowed Holocaust-denier in the last election. Nor is =
it just=20
that almost every week we hear another story about a synagogue =
torched, a=20
rabbi beaten, a Jewish cemetery or Holocaust memorial defaced with =
swastikas or Jewish children terrorized on the subway or on their =
way to=20
Hebrew school. Nor is it that France hates Israel. The French =
hating=20
Israel is nothing that keeps anyone here awake at night.=20
<P>The problem with France, rather, is that it has appointed =
itself=20
arbiter of global justice, and in so doing inserted itself as a =
key factor=20
in the US presidential race.=20
<P>Senator John F. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, has =
made=20
his objections to Bush administration's foreign policy a defining =
issue of=20
his candidacy. During this week's Democratic national convention =
in=20
Boston, speaker after speaker took to the podium and declared that =
under a=20
Kerry presidency, the US would not act "unilaterally." A =
Washington Post=20
analysis of Kerry's basic message to American voters noted that =
Kerry's=20
major theme is a "restoration" of US positions during the 1990's =
under the=20
Clinton administration.=20
<P>As former Clinton administration official and current Kerry =
foreign=20
policy adviser Richard Holbrooke put it to the Post, the Bush=20
administration advocated "extremist ideas" that had "never had a =
voice in=20
the policymaking bodies of the executive branch." One such idea, =
the Post=20
paraphrased, was "acting unilaterally." But what does "acting=20
unilaterally" mean? It does not mean "going it alone." After all, =
there=20
are several dozen other countries actively involved in US =
operations in=20
Iraq as well as in Afghanistan.=20
<P>Neither does "acting unilaterally" mean that in Iraq the US is =
acting=20
outside of a clear UN Security Council mandate. Ahead of the =
US-led=20
operations in Kosovo in 1999, in which Holbrooke played a key =
role, Russia=20
used the threat of its Security Council veto to prevent the US =
from taking=20
action under a UN umbrella. Yet no one has ever accused the US of =
acting=20
unilaterally in Kosovo.=20
<P>What "acting unilaterally" actually means to Holbrooke and =
Kerry is=20
that the multilateral coalition Bush assembled in Iraq does not =
include=20
France. It was France that prevented a UN Security Council =
resolution=20
backing the US-led invasion, and it was France that led the EU and =
NATO to=20
reject US requests to forge coalitions under whose aegis the US =
would lead=20
the war against Saddam's regime.=20
<P>With its UN Security Council veto, its membership in NATO and =
its=20
leading position in the EU, France has fashioned itself the =
indispensable=20
ally for Eurocentric Americans. This it has done in spite of the =
fact that=20
France has opposed almost every single US foreign policy =
initiative since=20
September 11. Yet, in spite of France's overt hostility, =
administration=20
critics still believe that the US cannot garner a politically =
palatable=20
coalition for action on the international stage without French=20
involvement.=20
<P>One of the truly disturbing aspects of France's success in so=20
positioning itself is that the veneer of respectability of a=20
French-approved coalition is so thick that even when such =
coalitions fail=20
abysmally, no one seems to notice. Thus, according to a recently =
released=20
report by Human Rights Watch, it was the French forces who were =
most=20
responsible for NATO-led Kosovo force's decision to remain =
garrisoned as=20
thousands of Kosovar Christians were evicted from their homes and =
villages=20
by Albanian Muslims even as they were begged to come forward and =
protect=20
these minorities. But who's noticing?=20
<P>It is hard to know precisely what a Kerry presidency would hold =
in=20
store for Israel specifically.=20
<P>Yes, it is true that he seems to pay inordinate respect to =
outspoken=20
Israel-bashers such as former President Jimmy Carter and Carter's =
National=20
Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. Then again, Bush appointed =
the=20
harshly anti-Israel Marine General Anthony Zinni to be his Middle =
East=20
mediator shortly after assuming office.=20
<P>Yes, it is true that Kerry seems determined on forcing Israel =
back to=20
the negotiating table with Arafat and using Dennis Ross and Martin =
Indyk=20
as his emissaries in spite of the colossal failure of every policy =
the two=20
men advocated during the Clinton presidency. But Bush has adopted =
the Road=20
Map, which formally, if not practically, gives the EU, Russia and =
the UN=20
the status of arbiters in the Palestinian conflict with Israel.=20
<P>One thing though, is clear enough. In the unrelenting emphasis =
Kerry=20
places on a certain brand of "multilateralism," he is providing =
undue,=20
unreasonable and unacceptable legitimacy to a country that does =
not wish=20
Israel well. Kerry can choose to be a friend of France, or he can =
choose=20
to be a friend of Israel. But this is one area where he can't have =
it both=20
ways.=20

This is Mr. Peanut's standard line when it comes to Arab-Israeli =
politics.=20
<P>There's no rest for those who care, and we are forced to repeat =
some=20
key facts, ad nauseam, with the hope that they will register with =
an=20
ever-wider audience. So, here we go again...=20
<P>Surely Carter's aware of poll after poll taken among Arabs that =
have=20
shown that even if Israel withdrew completely from those disputed =
areas=20
(not "occupied Arab lands"), the Arabs would still reject Israel's =
right=20
to exist. It's not how big Israel is but that Israel is that has =
always=20
been the problem...and Mr. Peanut knows this. And he knows about =
the=20
offers made by Barak and Clinton at Camp David 2000 and Taba which =
would=20
have handed over 97% of those disputed territories--including one =
half of=20
Jerusalem and a $33 billion bonus as icing on the cake--to =
Arafat's boys.=20
And he knows what the bloody Arab "counter offer " has =
been...hundreds of=20
deliberately murdered Israeli civilians. Arafat built that fence =
recently=20
put on trial in Geneva. Yet Carter insists on prodding Jews to =
take=20
suicidal chances and forsake security measures with a bloodthirsty =
enemy=20
he wouldn't dream of asking others to do.=20
<P>Who's kidding whom here?=20
<P>Surely he knows that the PLO was formed in 1964...long before =
Israel=20
was in the territories. And surely he knows that nothing has =
changed in=20
the Arab mindset since then or before. Carter sees the Palestinian =
Authority websites, maps, schoolbooks, hears the imams calling for =
death=20
to the Jews, etc. He knows full well that the proposed 22nd or =
23rd Arab=20
state--second one to be created within the original borders of =
Mandatory=20
Palestine as Britain received it on April 25, 1920--plans to =
replace=20
Israel, not live side by side with it. The evidence for this is=20
overwhelming.=20
<P>It's no accident that at the summits leading up to the roadmap, =
Ahmed=20
Qurei'--latest Arafatian chief marionette--went on record opposing =
the use=20
of the word "Jewish" along with "State of Israel." Of course, not =
a peep=20
out of Mr. Peanut about this and its implications. And these folks =
still=20
insist that Israel, after being made to return to its 9-mile wide, =
pre-'67=20
armistice line existence, then agree to absorb millions of real or =
alleged=20
descendants of Arab refugees. The half of Israel's Jews who were =
refugees=20
themselves from so-called "Arab" lands doesn't seem to register =
with him.=20
And the lie that the so-called "Geneva Initiative," led by =
Carter's=20
politically impotent Arab and suicidal Israeli friends, renounced =
the=20
"right of return" was just that...a lie.=20
<P>At the close of hostilities after the invasion by Arab states =
of a=20
nascent Israel in 1948, the fragile, U.N-imposed armistice lines =
made=20
Israel a constant temptation to its enemies. Most of Israel's =
population=20
and industry lies in that narrow waistband. Mr. Carter knows full =
well=20
that you need a magnifying glass to find Israel in a map of the =
region...a=20
microscope for a map of the world.=20
<P>He has frequently brought up U.N. Resolution #242 to support =
his=20
position for Israel's departure from the disputed territories. =
Just like=20
Chamberlain had to know that Hitler would not be satisfied with =
just the=20
Sudetenland back in 1938 but sacrificed the Czechs anyway, the =
evidence is=20
quite clear regarding Arab intentions in their well-known =
"destruction in=20
stages scenario" for Israel. And Chamberlain--er Carter--knows =
this as=20
well. Yet, while he's been a bit more careful in his wording of =
late, he=20
still implies that a virtually total Israeli withdrawal is =
required by=20
242. That's what his continuous rants about occupation and =
settlements are=20
all about.=20
<P>Nations have acquired territories, toppled governments, and =
such=20
thousands of miles away from home in the name of their own =
security, but=20
Mr. Carter can't seem to figure out that Israel's 9-mile wide,=20
artificially-imposed existence (the '49 armistice lines were never =
meant=20
to be final borders) was a travesty of justice in desperate need =
of=20
rectification.=20
<P>Whatever the size or shape the proposed additional Arab state =
might=20
eventually be, it must not come at the expense of security of the =
sole,=20
miniscule state of the Jews.=20
<P>In the aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War Israel was forced to =
fight=20
after it was blockaded at the Straits of Tiran and other =
life-threatening=20
hostile acts, U.N. Resolution #242 did not demand that Israel =
return to=20
the status quo ante. The architects of that resolution such as =
Eugene=20
Rostow, Arthur Goldberg, and others all stressed quite the =
contrary, and=20
their views are readily accessible.=20
<P>242 called, instead, for the creation of "secure and recognized =
borders" to replace those fragile armistice lines. There is no way =
that=20
Carter cannot know this, yet he pretends to be deaf, dumb, and =
blind=20
because it goes counter to his own "vision." Most of Israel's =
settlements=20
have been built on strategic high ground areas for this reason. =
Even with=20
these left in place, Israel's width goes from 9 miles up to =
perhaps around=20
twenty in that waist bordering the West Bank/Judea and Samaria. =
Most=20
people in America drive further than that just to go to work. Any =
roadmap=20
discussions must continue to take this into account. Those =
currently=20
involving the debate over the path of the security fence are =
particularly=20
relevant. While compromises are in order, Carter's demands, =
advice, or=20
whatever on this issue (like that of the recent UN politicized =
mouthpiece,=20
the International Court of Justice) are not. His brother Billy =
made lots=20
of money endearing himself to Arab oil folks. I haven't checked =
Mr.=20
Peanut's records yet myself, but I've been told he has received =
plenty of=20
Arab donations for his views. On this issue, however, in all =
fairness, he=20
certainly couldn't be worse than the Bushes and their own closest =
friends=20
and political allies. Best buddy James Baker's law firm, for =
example,=20
represents the Saudis in this country.=20
<P>Carter speaks of the territories as if Palestinian Arabs (many =
of whom=20
were newcomers-- settlers-- themselves in Palestine) had exclusive =
rights=20
there. Contrary to popular current protestations, these are not =
"occupied=20
Palestinian Arab lands."=20
<P>Leading scholars such as William O'Brien, Rostow, and others =
have=20
pointed out that these lands were non-apportioned areas of the =
Mandate,=20
and all residents--Arabs, Jews, etc.--had the right to live there. =
Indeed,=20
Jews had lived and owned land in Judea and Samaria until their =
earlier=20
massacres by Arabs. And Mr. Carter knows this too...as he does the =
writings of the so-called "moderates" like the late showcased =
Faisal=20
Husseini whose goal was/is still a purely Arab Palestine from the =
River to=20
the Sea.=20
<P>Indeed, the "moderates" of the good cop/ bad cop game the Arabs =
have=20
played to gain concessions from the Jews speak in terms of =
temporary,=20
meaningless concessions to the Jews as the Trojan Horse that will =
be used=20
to deliver the final prize, Arafat's modern professed version of =
the=20
"Peace of the Quraysh." The latter were the pagan tribe the Muslim =
Prophet, Muhammad, made a temporary truce with until he gained the =
position and strength to deliver the final blow. Talk of a new =
"truce"=20
with Arafat falls into this same category. Arabs offer this hudna =
while=20
expecting Israel to yield to all of their demands.=20
<P>So it's time to call it what it really is...=20
<P>Jews have repeatedly offered Arabs reasonable compromises and =
an=20
honorable way out of this bloody mess. It is Arabs who have =
rejected all=20
of these. The plain truth is that any solution which is not =
another Final=20
Solution will not be acceptable to Arabs...at least those with =
both the=20
real power and the power to influence their own captive masses. =
And Mr.=20
Peanut knows this too...which makes what he says and does even =
light years=20
worse.=20
<P>Carter's constant demand that Israel cave in to such above =
hogwash is=20
nothing short of hostile intent on his part towards the Jewish =
State. He=20
expects no others to bare their necks so freely to their sworn =
murderous=20
enemies as he does Jews. Indeed, the prospect of him having any =
influence=20
over a potential Democrat in office is frightening.=20
<P>When I see Mr. Peanut show the same concern over the plight of =
millions=20
of Blacks in Africa, who have been slaughtered, enslaved, turned =
into=20
refugees, and the like, or that of some thirty million perpetually =
victimized, stateless Kurds, who have suffered likewise in the =
name of the=20
Arab nation, as he does for creating a 22nd or 23rd state for =
Arabs (on=20
the ashes of Israel...but fear not, he'll give a proper southern=20
gentleman's eulogy), then I might give any credence to what he =
says again.=20
<P>For now, his blatant hypocrisy and double standards vis-=E0-vis =
Jews and=20
Israel simply make him a spokesman for the Arab cause.=20
<P>Furthermore, knowing what his politics are like and that he has =
become=20
a virtual attack dog on Israel, the Democrats had surely figured =
out=20
beforehand what words of wisdom he was likely to spout as he was =
showcased=20
at their convention on July 26th. And this, unfortunately, perhaps =
also=20
says something as well.=20

<P>As enthusiasms go, the Presbyterian one is a bit behind the =

bit=20
queasy as (left-wing) Israeli academics were forced off the boards =

<P>But mainly divestment was stopped because of the words of one =
man,=20
Harvard University President Lawrence Summers. In September 2002, =
Summers=20
noted that "where anti-Semitism and views that are profoundly =

support=20

<P>"The university," he added, "has categorically rejected this=20
suggestion."=20
<P>Summers's statement was significant because it issued from the =
high=20
temple of American high culture. It was courageous because it put=20
collegial niceties aside to take direct aim at members of =
Summers's=20
faculty. And it was important because it marked in a very clear =

spot where anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism converge.=20
<P>This is very close to the spot where the Presbyterian Church =
=96=20
generally a "progressive intellectual community" in its own right =
=96 has=20
now planted itself. It claims to have taken the vote "as part of a =
larger=20
commitment... to human rights and social justice all around the =

<P>In fairness, the church has divested itself from an oil company =
doing=20
business in Tibet. Over the years, it has issued reports on =
"issues of=20
