PM Netanyahu Re: August 4 2010 Attack

Prime Minister`s statement following recent security events.

“For years many in the international community have remained silent when rockets have been fired at Israeli civilians, and when unprovoked attacks have been launched against our soldiers. Expressions of outrage have largely been reserved for Israel`s response to those attacks. Firing missiles on civilians is a war crime, and unprovoked attacks on soldiers are blatant acts of aggression. Israel expects the international community to condemn such attacks in the strongest possible terms. All those in the international community committed to peace should support Israel`s right to defend itself against those who attack the innocent and seek to destroy peace.”

Ra’anan Gissin, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, received an overwhelming message of support for a secure Israel from six prominent Christian leaders at his press briefing at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention this week in Nashville. The briefing was sponsored by the National Unity Coalition for Israel, an alliance of more than 200 Jewish and Christians organizations representing more than 40 million Americans.

Central to the message given Dr. Gissin was a copy of U.S. House of Representatives’ Resolution No. 61 handed out to the 250 broadcasters who attended. That strong statement commending Israel was passed in the House the very next day by a favorable vote of 411, 2 against, and 3 abstaining. The emphatic support from such a one-sided vote validated the strong presentations by the Christian speakers who eloquently expressed unequivocal backing for Israel and its people.

Contrary to the impression often conveyed by the State Department and echoed in the media, it is apparent that the vast majority of informed Americans oppose the Quartet Road Map calling for Palestinian statehood. The clear messages repudiating Palestinian statehood were delivered by Kay Arthur, Precept Ministries, Elwood McQuaid, Jerusalem Post Radio News, Janet Parshall, Salem Broadcasting, JoAnn Magnuson, Bridges for Peace, Tracy Ammons, Christian Coalition and Mike Evans, Jerusalem Prayer Team. Esther Levens, president of the National Unity Coalition for Israel, served as moderator. These leaders, representing millions of people through their ministries, approached their opposition to the Road Map concept from various perspectives including, religious, legal, historical, military defense, security and terrorism issues.

The message sent back to Israel through Dr. Gissin was one of broad based united grassroots Christian support, as well as strong congressional backing, for his beleaguered country.

Cantor Resolution Commending Israel Elections Passes House

Cantor: “The Israeli people engaged in the most basic and most important feature of democracy: They held free, open and competitive elections.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Stressing his firm belief that a strong U.S.-Israel relationship is essential to securing America’s interests in the Middle East, Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor today was the original sponsor of a resolution congratulating the people of Israel for conducting free and fair elections last month. The resolution passed by a vote of 411 to 2.

“I congratulate our only true democratic ally in the Middle East- Israel- a country that stands with the United States on the key principles of human rights, freedom, peace and democracy; a country like no other in its region,” said Eric Cantor during a U.S. House floor speech supporting the resolution.

“Israel is currently fighting a war on terrorism against people dedicated to hate and destruction; dedicated to ending freedom and democracy; dedicated to suppressing the basic rights of life and liberty. For the past two and a half years, Israel has faced an unrelenting campaign of violence and terror against her citizens,” continued Cantor.

“Yet, during all of this unrest and violence, the Israeli people engaged in the most basic and most important feature of democracy: They held free, open and, competitive elections–an act in stark contrast to their enemies,” said Cantor.

“I strongly believe the U.S. must maintain its commitment to Israel’s safety. Israel has always worked for peace in the Middle East, even in the face of terror and the loss of innocent lives of her citizens. I am proud to stand with and support our only democratic ally in the region,” concluded Cantor.

On January 28, 2003 citizens in Israel exercised their right to vote in a free, transparent and democratic election. In Israel, like the United States, the right of citizens to vote is not denied or abridged because of race, color, creed, sex or religion.

National Unity Coalition for Israel

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was created by the National Security Act of 1947 after WWII and six years after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Its purpose was to insure that the U.S. would never be caught again by surprise. Since then, the record of the CIA and the State department for predicting and handling world crisis is appalling.

The Record
Following is a partial list of critical events that the State Department and the CIA either failed to predict, or were responsible for:

• North Korea invasion of South Korea in 1951
• Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956
• Support of Castro and thus the Cuban missile crisis in 1962
• Arab attack on Israel in June, 1967
• Tet offensive in 1968 and the fall of Saigon
• Soviet invasion of Chekoslovakia in 1968
• Arab attack on Israel during Yom Kippur in 1973
• Fall of Iran in 1979 and the establishment of an Islamic terrorist state that threatens world peace today.
• Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979
• Falkland Islands invasion in 1982
• Fall of the Berlin wall in 1989
• Invasion of Kuwait in 1990
• Collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991
• Asian economic crisis in 1998
• Suez canal fiasco
• Bay of Pigs fiasco
• Collapse of South African government, replaced by a leftist, pro-Islamic government
• Support of the Talibans and the building up of Talibans in Afghanistan
• Failure to conclude the 1991 war against Iraq in 1991
• Support of Muslin Jihaddists in the Bosnian war against Yugoslavia.
• Support of the Muslim Jihaddists in the war against the Serbs.
• September 11 2001 attack on mainland USA.

State Department personnel are not elected by anyone. Except for two top appointees, they are life-long civil service employees. They are a self-perpetuating institution supported by taxpayers to the tune of billions of dollars a year. Taxpayers have no say in the life and death decisions routinely made by the State Department, which have cost untold numbers of deaths in America and abroad. They are an embarrassment for their total failure to provide moral leadership for our country and for the international community.

No employees of the State Department have ever been fired, fined, demoted or put on trial even when found to be representing foreign government interests. A good percentage of their personnel are hired by foreign governments upon leaving State Department employment, contingent upon the services rendered to those foreign governments while in service to the State Department.

Most recently, the State Department created the Saudi Visa Express that allowed terrorist to enter the US without background checks. When confronted, they lied to the American public and to their elective representatives by concurrently claiming that 1.) it doesn’t exist and 2.)they closed it already, when in fact they continued its operation for at least one year after 9/11.

While they hide behind the “Quartet”, the State Department is the creator and pursuer of the new “Road Map”.

The Quartet – “Concerned Neutral Friends of Peace” in the Middle East
One member of the Quartet is Russia. For hundreds of years Russia has enforced extreme repression against Jews as its official policy, and has armed and equipped Israel’s enemies for the last half-century. At the time of the Yom Kippur war, it committed itself to invade Israel by sea, cancelling only at the last moment.

The European Union, is another Quartet member formed by European countries that are dominated by Arab influence. They have their own history of Jewish persecution that ended with the deportation of their own citizens to concentration camps during WW2, and the confiscation of their assets, which they continue to hold to this day; the only exception of this is England, which will always be remembered for its supreme efforts in trying to abort the birth of the state of Israel, while its Royal Navy was busy preventing holocaust victims from reaching the safety of Israel’s shores.

The U.S. State Department (representing America) is the only real power behind the Quartet members. The State Department’s prejudice against Israel is legend. It joined England in fighting against Israel’s establishment. It embargoed desperately needed weapons hoping that the Arabs would annihilate the Jews when the Arabs attacked Israel in 1948. President Truman defied the State Department by recognizing Israel.

The State Department has, for more than a half-century, consistently taken the position of the virulent anti-Semitic and arrogant Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing Arab states against Israel and its miniscule population, which in 1948 numbered less than one million people. Israel remains to this day the only Western democracy in the Middle East.

The CIA under George Tenant has tripled its budget to train the PLO in the following:

• Sharp-shooting – i.e. ambush techniques (note the improved kill ratio along Israel’s roadways).
• Demolitions – i.e. bomb-making.
• Interrogations – i.e. torture.

The United Nations (UN), the fourth member of the Quartet, has recently chosen Libya to head its the human rights division and nominated Iraq as president of the UN Conference on Disarmament. Members of the General Assembly of the UN have cast 55,642 votes against Israel and passed 429 resolutions against Israel.

• The General Assembly of the UN condemned and deplored Israel 321 times and 0 times the Arabs and the PLO.
• The Security Council condemned, censured and deplored Israel 49 times and the Arabs and PLO 0 times.
• The Security Council passed 131 resolutions in its history. Of those, 88 criticized or opposed Israel, none deplored the PLO or Arab states.

Every departing American president has carried with him for history the shame of the horrific mistakes of the State Department. The body that created the twisted and bizarre concepts mentioned above bears neither responsibility nor accountability to anyone.

The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle

Esther Levens of Prairie Village will be in some pretty lofty company when she speaks at the Oct. 11 rally for Israel in Washington, D.C., being sponsored by the Christian Coalition. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and former PM Bibi Netanyahu are to address the crowd via satellite. In addition to Levens, those set to speak in person include Pat Robertson, Alan Keyes, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas).

In a related matter, the Jerusalem Post’s unsigned editorial Sept. 24 said this of Esther: “The sudden burst of Christian pro-Israel activity did not emerge out of thin air, of course. It is the result of a lot of vision and hard work. Groups such as the Kansas-based National Unity Coalition for Israel, which is run by the indefatigable Esther Levens, have brought together dozens of Christian and Jewish organizations across the U.S., literally mobilizing millions of people to press their elected representatives on Israel-related issues. Working through constituent groups such as Bridges for Peace and Christian Friends of Israel, the coalition has helped to educate numerous Americans about the importance of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, and it has become a leading voice for Israel in the halls of power in Washington.”

In June, Levens received the Defender of Zion Award from Faith Bible Chapel in Denver.
