The video below suggests a new perspective for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians based on the discovery of the formerly classified minutes from the San Remo peace conference of April, 1920.
This long hidden document explains the legal rights of the Jews as well as the Palestinians.
A group of professionals calling themselves Give Peace a Chance, feel that, by returning to the negotiating table and respecting historical facts and international law there can be real peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
The song below is from a Diamond Rio concert in Las Vegas. It received an immediate, resounding standing ovation (every time it is performed!) Now the punch line...
Major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered "politically incorrect". Consequently, the song has never been released to the public.
Apparently your president, B-Hussein-O is saying that it is not fit for release because it offends some. So please listen and let us know: Is this song offensive?
Yesterday, 28 August 2011, Gilad Shalit turned 25. He has been a prisoner, held underground by the terror group Hamas since 25 June 2006.
The terrorists made a cross-border raid into Israel, and in the attack, killed two soldiers and wounded three. Gilad has been denied visits from the International Red Cross and his parents have not had any sign of life since October 2009.
Over the years, Hamas has continued to distribute cruel pictures depicting Gilad's inhuman conditions, along with videos that mock his family.
Last Sign of Life~October 2009
The world sends millions of $$$ in "Aid" for the PA~Money which is used to pay monthly stipends to terrorists and murderers held in Israeli jails. They also pay their families. The more Jews they have killed the higher the stipend. This "Aid" Money also goes into Gaza~home of Hamas.
Yesterday there was a demonstration marking Gilad Shalit's 25th Birthday, and demanding his release.
David and Daniel traveled to the demonstration site to interview those in attendance and film the events. We hope to have video footage for you later in the week.
Meantime, here is a sample of a Hamas video depicting Gilad Shalit in captivity.
The week before the attacks on southern Israel, David and Daniel decided to visit the various protest sites around the country. Leaving Jerusalem (A), early in the morning their first stop was in Be'er Sheva (B), located on the northern edge of the Negev desert, 115 kilometres south-east of Tel Aviv and 120 kilometres south-west of Jerusalem.
Be'er Sheva Tents
Initially, there was a local population of refugees from Arab countries. A wave of immigrants from Russia followed. In 1982, when Israel airlifted a large part of the Ethiopian Jewish community to Israel, many were settled in Be'er Sheva. Add to this an assortment of native Israelis and immigrants from around the world and you have the general population of about that today numbers about 195,000.
The protesters in Be'er Sheva, like the rest of the country have real concerns about being able to afford a basic existence. For some, the thought of buying an apartment will never be an option, while for others the concern is whether they could afford any kind of a roof over their heads at all. Make no mistake, their issues are very real, as is their desire to have meaningful dialogue towards finding a solution to these problems.
After speaking to some of the tent city residents, David and Daniel headed off to the bustling city of Tel Aviv(C).
With a population of about 404,000 Tel Aviv is second only to Jerusalem in size. Located on the sea, and boasting high-rises, big business and hi-tech, Tel Aviv tends to attract the secular section of the population, and is considered (by some) to be the New York of the Middle-East.
Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv
The protesters chose one of the poshest areas in the city center~the elite, Rothschild Boulevard. This is where the protests began and surely where the largest number of tents are to be found.
It is no surprise that the residents, who are living in some of Israel's most expensive real estate, were less than enthusiastic to see a "tent city" spring up in their front yard, complete with kitchens and porta-potties!
Just like in Be'er Sheva, the people David spoke with had varied, yet similar reasons for their "tent city". One man mused that people had become "bored with life"...You are born~you die~and unless you are a genius there is nothing in between.
In the Streets of Tel Aviv
Those who came out to protest and live in the tents varied in age. Many were young adults who were struggling to find their way through the education system in hopes of building a future.
High university fees and sky rocketing rents, combined with an almost complete lack of available housing is their main concern. Add to that a wage system that has remained stagnant while prices continue to rise, and you have the problem.
But, it is not only the young who are out in force!
Everyone is Participating!
Those who are well past middle age see little hope of ever retiring~even with the most modest lifestyle.
For years salaries have stayed unreasonably low, while the cost of living has risen at a frightening pace. This combination means that many are forced to work well into their seventies (or until they die), with no chance of a reprieve~They cannot afford to stop working!
This is not a sudden phenomenon, rather, it has been brewing for years, until finally, the middle class citizens of Israel decided to take to the streets. Some claim that the Arab Spring spreading throughout the middle east was a catalyst, but there is a big difference between Israel and the Arab protests. Israel is a peaceful, democratic state, whose citizens are free to select their government via voting. Israel's protesters want a peaceful dialogue that will bring about a reasonable solution. They only ask that the government fulfill promises made over the years.
Kiryat Shmona
From Tel Aviv, the next stop was the northern town of Kiryat Shmona(D), named for the "eight" men who died defending the area during the 1920 Arab revolt. The population is about 23,100~of which one third are under the age of nineteen.
One young girl told David that she was a student and worked two jobs~yet she had nothing. She reiterated that she was "fine" but she was only existing, nothing more. She worried that future children would question why nobody acted to change things for the better.
Galilee
After a quick stop in the Galilee(E), it was time to head for home and try to digest what was taking place across the country.
Simply put, Israeli wages are abnormally low, and prices unusually high~with the gap widening. The average citizens across the country, work long hours, to barely put food on the table and have a roof over their heads. Anything more, any future hope, is slim~and for the most, almost impossible.
People need salaries that are in line with the cost of living. The (almost) total lack of affordable living space means that up to 80% of one's earnings will only pay for a tiny room. There is no hope in this situation!
Yes, there are those with hidden agendas, and some who want a free ride, but the majority of Israelis ask only for a fair wage for an honest days work and the chance to build a future.
It's time...Hopefully the Israeli government is listening.
...First we (Islam) will kill all the Jews (who pray on Saturday) then we will kill all Christians (who pray on Sunday). Oppression, kidnapping and forced conversion of young girls, and on and on. Do not think it will stop with the Jews...
This is the trailer of Pierre Rehov's film"First Comes Saturday Then Comes Sunday"
The Arab Spring brought Egypt's Christians side by side with the Muslim community. So, now that Mubarak is out of power sectarian violence, in which Christians are being targeted, is worsening. So where are all the Boycotters, and Flotilla Folk? Why is nobody speaking out for Egypt's Christians?
Yep, he's on the road talking to the people about job creation in the USA~Riding in the "Mother of all Buses", and yes, it is a Canuck-made bus (from Quebec)~A Prevost worth a cool 1.1 million dollars. Apparently it is one of two buses sold to the government at taxpayer expense. I wonder if he is even a little ashamed of himself (probably not)...
A clash of civilizations...this was a prediction made (at 5:00 in the video below) by a respected Muslim writer in Norway, just weeks before the massacre.
CBN News traveled to Oslo to investigate the nation's experiment with Muslim immigration and multiculturalism, and the rumors that Muslim radicalism was growing along with violence and intimidation against non-Muslims.
They found No-Go Zones, Sharia Law, Female Genital Mutilation and Norwegian women being raped by Muslim men~because they were not wearing a hijab.
For the most part, Norwegians, (particularly the politicians) refuse to see the light~they are so busy hating and boycotting Israel they fail to see what is happening in their own back yard. Let us hope that this blind, politically correct, multicultural stupidity does not prevail in the rest of the free world!
Anyone who values freedom of speech and expression should watch this clip. The full story is on Bare Naked Islam's blog. The site that is the subject of this censorship is Acts17 Apologetics website:Answering Muslims.
Friends, this is disturbing in so many ways. From the "re-writing of history"(in favor of Islam) to the removal of "all criticism of of Islam" from the Internet, we face a clear and present danger. It matters not if you agree with what Acts 17 site is saying. What matters is that their right to say it (as well as the rights of anybody who says "anything" not agreeable to Islam) is being censored. If we do not stop this creeping sharia, we will all be silenced. Do not surrender you freedom of speech and the right to be critical~Make Your Voice Heard!
