True Zionist Leaders' Audio from 'Jerusalem Conference'
'The West is Suffering Effects of Global Jihad's Psychological Warfare to Demoralize and Remake the West under Their Control' - Londonistan author, Melanie Phillips.Ms. Phillips lays out the cognitive dissonance Israel faces among the Anglo-sphere. And what little Britain's Jews do to help their image-crisis.

She says, "The bottom line is that the global Islamic jihad is threatening the entire free world, and it is succeeding, and we don't even know what has hit us! Britain is sliding into Islamicization, because of a strategy outlined decades ago by the Islamic Brotherhood, which says: You set up your institutions, you then use the mores of your designated country to give you more and more, you Islamicize the country, and then you take it over.
The central point of this strategy is the demoralization caused by the intellectual confusion
brought on by the psychological warfare, the essence of which is that the victims have no idea of what is being done to them. Britain doesn't get it, at all. Israel doesn't get it. We must fight against their verbal fire - and realize that if our minds are enslaved, then our bodies will be
next. Israel is obligated, using our traditional skill with words, to retake the battlefield of ideology and of the mind - and win."

Israel National News' Hillel Fendel summarizes that Conference session on Israel's Public Relations Efforts, featuring a panel including former MK Elyakim HaEtzni, Isi Leibler, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, and Tzafrir Ronen.HaEtzni presented his thesis that the simple explanation for Israel's failure at effective PR is "pathological. Israel is sick, with a condition called 'Jewish self-hatred,' and this phenomenon must be investigated... For 2,000 years, the world has been telling us that we're no good - so finally, like a child who receives only criticism, he naturally begins to believe he is no good! In addition, there is something in the Jewish religion that is very noble, but that if taken too far, can be dangerous. Other nations, when they are hit, blame the hitter - but we always blame ourselves; we ask what we did wrong. "

Watch videos from the LimmudLA President's Day Eve concert. "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy," Debbie Friedman sings her inspiring "Mi shebayrach."
Debbie then breaks into an upbeat medly of "Turn the World Around,""Oseh Shalom," "Miriam," "Hallelu," and "David Melech Yisrael" to get the sold-out audience of LimmudLA participants dancing and rejoicing.

The Moshav Band perform their inspirational anthem, "Come Back (to me now)" the soundtrack of the famous Nefesh b'Nefesh aliyah documentary.
JTA syndicates Sue Fishkoff's review of Limmud '08.
“I knew what I was getting into and I still wanted to come, because I love all Jews,” said Rabbi Moshe Shapoff, who traveled to Limmud LA from his Israeli home in the Jerusalem suburb of Givat Zeev, where he co-founded a vocational school for haredi youth.Read it all.
“I was literally in tears seeing all those Jews dancing together. At the end of the day, it’s not what we wear, but that one soul touches another,” he said.
That’s a big part of what the British-based, volunteer-driven Limmud is about: Jews of all stripes and ages coming together to study, worship and learn from each other.
LA's Jewish Journal publisher, Rob Eshman, claims that Limmud proves that LA has a significant Jewish community.
...That's the essence of Limmud -- not just Jews learning from other Jews but experiencing the breadth and depth of tradition, culture and spirituality in one place, in a weekend.
I was in another session, hearing four stand-up comedians, including a Chasid, a Palestinian and Aaron Freeman, a black convert to Judaism, joke about all the hilarious stuff that happens in the Mideast. That was after a full day spent dipping into one class on the teachings of Rabbi Joseph Solovetchik, another on the meaning behind the Hebrew calendar and innumerable hallway and, yes, barstool discussions and debates with everybody from the Russian scholars to Hollywood players to major philanthropists to street-level activists to post-denominational observant Israeli-American rock musicians (they were in the hot tub with me, along with a brilliant Reform aerospace engineer from Manhattan Beach -- go figure).
Hospital of the Absurd: Israel Treats Palestinians Alongside their Terror Victims
Here, the conflict's pain has been compressed into an improbable intimacy. There is pathos. "The Palestinian boy on one side, Osher on the other- it's something that gets to your heart," said Prof. Gideon Paret, the director of the department.
But there is anger and repudiation as well, and the proximity of the two boys has not brought reconciliation. Osher's parents, Iris and Rafi Twito, are outraged at the thought of comparing the boys' cases. They refuse to allow them to be photographed together.
"The Palestinians aim to hurt our sons and rejoice at their injuries," they said in a statement issued Tuesday, "while neither we, nor our army, intended to hurt them."
"It's like a theater of the absurd," said Prof. Zeev Rotstein, the chief executive officer and director of the hospital. "You have army doctors in white gowns alongside Palestinian doctors who are being trained, at the same time treating Israeli casualties of terrorist attacks and Palestinians who may have been hurt in army actions."

Presidential Primary Endorsement: Anybody but Obama
Journalist Aaron Klein (author of Schmoozing with Terrorists) explains in NY's The Jewish Press why Obama's advisers make him the lease desireable choice to lead America in its fight to combat global Islamism:
"Israeli security officials quietly expressed "concern" about an adviser to Sen. Barack Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.
The officials noted that Robert Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority president Yasir Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.
Several other Obama advisers, including former national security adviser (to President Jimmy Carter) Zbigniew Brzezinski and Harvard professor Samantha Power, are widely seen as tilting toward the Palestinian cause.
Meanwhile, Obama’s spiritual adviser, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, recently presented Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan with a "Lifetime Achievement" award. Farrakhan has expressed consistent anti-Israel views.
Wright has called for divestment from Israel and refers to Israel as a "racist" state."
Obama called Wright’s heralding of Farrakhan a "mistake" but has not spoken out against Wright’s views regarding Israel. "
