The Best of the Jewish Blogosphere #141
Haveil Havalim #141 is up and it is titled: The Save Israel Edition.
Yid with Lid has done a fine job of culling and organizing a series of powerful blog posts about the danger of appeasement that grips certain elements of the Israeli government, and of course the usual arch leftists in the Israeli and American communities.
Point out that Israel expelled 9,000 Jews from Gaza in exchange for peace and instead got Hamas and a daily barrage of rockets, the left says: “Give up more territory—and by the way, divide Jerusalem.”
Point out that Hamas promises to crush Fatah and take over Judea and Samaria and the left insists that only further concessions will bring peace—and by the way, divide Jerusalem.
Ignoring the proven reality that concessions only invite further aggression. That the Muslims have a very different view of, ahem, peace.
Ignoring the facts that both Hamas and Fatah deny the legitimacy of Israel's right to exist at all, deny the existence of both Jewish Temples on Har Habayit in Jerusalem, and are now targeting Rachel's Tomb by inventing a religious claim designed to oust the Jewish presence after thousands of years—and the left just shrugs off this cultural and religious atrocity as inconsequential.
Point out that both Fatah and Hamas have vowed to annihilate the entire state of Israel in their official charters and the left shrugs and says one has to pursue peace at all costs—and divide Jerusalem.
Point out that Jerusalem was once divided and it was a disaster for the Jews and the left says it will be different now because the Arabs are so, y'know, peace-loving.
Point out that sometime peace only comes at the end of a gun barrel and you're accused of being a war monger.
It's enough to make a grown man weep.
No wonder the Arabs love the Israeli and American left. At every turn in history, these peace-loving creatures enable tyrants and aggressors—and make the end of Israel and Jews a civilized topic of discussion.
And let's not forget Project Valor-IT Veteran's Day Fundraiser, to provide voice-activated lap-top computers to injured and disabled veterans. Please donate generously. This is a very important tzedakah, charity.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.

I remember the feeling of helplessness I felt back in 93'(2 months after I arrived in Israel) when Rabin signed away Israel's future to a terrorist entity.
Fourteen years, two US Presidents and six Israeli PM's later I fear that Arafat's plan of stages has materialized.
It seems that ever since then Israel has continued to acquiesce to US govt. policy regarding its fate.
The money grubbing Israeli leftists are more concerned about the bottom line of their financial sheet than Israels security.

It was actually Sadat's plan to dismember Israel in stages through diplomacy. Arafat, always the serial liar, just took credit for this evil policy.
I don't believe that Israel is simply acquiescing the U.S. policy. Israel is its own worst enemy and in synergy with America and a wretched State Dept. truly suicidal roads are taken again and again: Camp David, Oslo, Gaza.
Annapolis is already a disaster and it's not even begun. But that American groups, admittedly arch leftists who are always wrong about everything, are urging the division of Jerusalem, is a mighty victory for the jihadists. There's nothing more useful than Jews who aid and comfort Jew-killers in the name of, ahem, peace.
