On Thursday, 23 September, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations declared why they walked-out on Iran's Thug-in-Chief's speech which alleged a U.S. conspiracy to attack the World Trade Center to protect Israel:

"Rather than representing the aspirations and goodwill of the Iranian people, Mr. Ahmadinejad has yet again chosen to spout vile conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic slurs that are as abhorrent and delusional as they are predictable."

The U.S. delegation was followed by the delegations from the U.K., Australia, Sweden, and Spain.

Protests on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday objecting to the presence of the Iranian President Ahmadinejad have come from many groups, especially Persian-American.

Broadway's "In the Heights" composer and lyricist, Lin-Manuel Miranda, got the close friends and family of his fiance, Vanessa Nadal, to rehearse for a month in secret, leading up to the reception. Lin absorbed Jewish wedding culture during his stint, like "Wicked's" Edina Menzel, performing at weddings and bar-mitzvahs. This video could become a viral-video ambassador for Jewish culture.

Muslim Palestinians ambush pious Jewish families on road Palestinians had Obama press Netanyahu to remove anti-terror checkpoints from

Palestinian terrorists shoot at point-blank range Orthodox Jewish parents of 6 children (mother 9-months pregnant); mother of 8-yr old daughter, and 25-year old husband.
Israel National News reports:

Palestinian terrorists murdered four Jewish civilians in a shooting attack at the Bani Naim junction just south of Hevron Tuesday evening. Emergency service paramedics could do nothing to save the victims whose bodies were riddled with bullets. The terrorists reportedly made sure their victims were dead by shooting them from close range after the initial fusillade.

The victims are a husband and wife, parents of six, and two passengers. Their names were cleared for publication Tuesday night by local police:

•Yitzhak, 47, and Talya Ames, 45;
•Kochava Even Chaim, 37-year old mother of an 8-year old daughter.
•Avishai Shindler, 24-year old husband.

A Zaka volunteer, Maimon Chaim, who arrived on the scene neared the car and discovered that one of the victims was his wife, Kochava. He broke down in tears on the spot.

Yitzhak and Talya Imes were the parents of six children, the eldest one being 24 years old and the youngest one being a year and a half old. Talya Imes was nine-months pregnant when she was killed today by the terrorists.

Kochava Even Chaim was a teacher in Efrat. She leaves behind her husband and an 8-year old daughter.

Avishai Shindler had only recently moved to Beit Hagai with his wife. The four were all citizens of Beit Haggai.  The funerals of all four victims will take place beginning at 11:00am on Wednesday. The IDF is combing the area, searching for the terrorists.

WND's Aaron Klein reports that "Jews killed where Obama demanded removal of checkpoints"

Today's deadly terrorist attack that killed four people near here took place on a road where the Israeli government removed staffed anti-terror checkpoints in line with requests from the Obama administration.The checkpoints were dismantled in line with demands from the Palestinian Authority that were passed on to Israel by the Obama administration. ...

George Mitchell, the White House envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically requested that Israel remove roadblocks and checkpoints as a confidence-building gesture to restart talks with the PA, Israeli officials told WND.

Anti-terror roadblocks and checkpoints impede Palestinian movement, but have been credited with stopping scores of attacks.

Michael Ben-Ari, a Knesset member from Israel's National Union party, slammed the dismantlement of the checkpoints. "The writing was on the wall. Opening roadblocks encourages terror and gives a free hand to terrorists," he said.

Preliminary police reports here show the gunmen today approached the Israeli vehicle and shot the victims multiple times at point-blank range.

The Magen David Adom ambulance authority reported the victims were two men ages 25 and 40 and two women, also ages 25 and 40, one of whom was pregnant.

The victims were all residents of Beit Hagai, a Jewish community in the southern Hebron Hills.

Paramedic Guy Ronen described the shooting scene to the Jerusalem Post: "When we arrived on the scene, all four doors of the car were open and four bodies were strewn on the road. We saw that the vital organs had been struck by a very large number of bullets, and that there was no chance of saving their lives."

"It was a very difficult scene. We had learned to forget scenes like this in recent years," Ronen added.

FBI data: Hate-crimes target Jews 10-times more frequently than Muslims (rarely victims)

Hate crimes directed against Muslims remain relatively rare, (notwithstanding the notoriety gained by incidents such as recent vandalism at the Madera Islamic Center.

Jews, lesbians, gay men and Caucasians, among others, are all more frequently the target of hate crimes, FBI records show. Reported anti-Muslim crimes have declined over recent years, though they still exceed what occurred prior to the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

In 2008, 105 hate crime incidents against Muslims were reported nationwide. There were 10 times as many incidents that were recorded as anti-Jewish during the same year, the most recent for which figures are available.

A new "Moses" blares shofar to awaken Obama in motorcade and his Jewish supporters

Pres. Barack Obama's arrival in L.A. was met with a shofar (ram's horn) blare from orthodox Rabbi Moshe Parry of L.A. The metaphysical blare was intended to be a Jewish alarm-clock awakening for the President, his gathering donors (many of whom are Jewish in the entertainment-industry) who gather to fete and fund him, and for you, the viewer - as to the misguidedness of Obama's Adminstration's pandering to Islamism - especially at the peril of the safety of America's Mid-East ally, Israel, against a pan-Islamic enemy, and the threats which a state of Palestine would pose to Israel, its pilgrim Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, and emboldening the global Jihad against the West.

Up-close with the personal struggles of Israeli soldiers tasked with removing pious Jewish Gazans permanently from their homes in "Withdrawal from Gaza"

Religious Jews' lives are uprooted by fellow Jews for Israel's sacrifice towards Palestinian autonomy (ultimately resulting in increased Palestinian aggression against innocent Israeli civilians), in this emotionally-charged socio-political event from August 2005.

Israel withdrew all Jewish life from Gush Katif Gaza to give the Palestinians opportunity to prove safe sovereign neighbors

Girls in Neve Dekalim synagogue pray Psalms to save the synagogues of Gush Katif from destruction in the “Disengagement.”

 

 Translation of "Tefillah Le'Ani" 

"Tefillah le'ani ki-ya'atof, ve'lifnei Hashem yishpoch sicho."
A prayer of the afflicted man when he faints, and in front of Hashem he pours forth his supplications. 

"Hashem, shema se'fillasi, ve'shav'asi ei'lecha savo. "
Lord, hear my prayer, and my cry - to You let it reach! 

"Al tas'teir panecha mi'meni be'yom tzar li. "
Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress." (Tehillim 102:1-3) 

 The Rambam writes, "It is a Mitzvah from the Torah to cry out to Hashem for help...whenever trouble strikes the community." The Sefer HaChinuch adds: "And someone who is in difficult circumstances and does not call out to Hashem to save him has violated this mitzvah of prayer...for it is as if he has removed himself from the overseeing of Hashem."

On 5th anniversary of Israel's removal of 8,000 Jewish residents of Gaza (which encouraged Jihad from Palestinian Gaza) Arab press reports Netanyahu offers to forcibly uproot 50,000 Jews from Judea & Samaria to entice Palestinians to peace-talks

Jerusalem - Aug 13 - Israel denied a report Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to evacuate 50,000 settlers to entice the Palestinians to resume peace talks.

A report in al-Hayat, a newspaper based in London, said Netanyahu drafted a new declaration of principles that states Israel's willingness to withdraw from 90 percent of the West Bank and evacuate 50,000 settlers, hoping it will entice the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table. (UPI)

Netanyahu's office Friday released a statement calling the newspaper report a lie.

The newspaper based the report on what it described as "knowledgeable sources."

Israel National News

This week, two reports appeared to suggest that Israel is under pressure to agree to Abbas's demands. On Friday, the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayyat reported that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has agreed to give Abbas 90% of Judea and Samaria for the establishment of a PA state, and to forcibly expel the roughly 50,000 Jews living in the area.

Netanyahu's office has denied the report. Netanyahu also reportedly told US envoy George Mitchell on Wednesday that he cannot accept the PA's latest demand - namely, that direct talks be renewed on the basis of a Quartet declaration that the Palestinian state be based on the pre-1967 borders. The prime minister reportedly said that the talks should simply begin without any pre-conditions.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Abbas may agree to direct talks if Netanyahu agrees to a PA state with borders based on the 1949 armistice line – an agreement that would leave the PA with all of Judea and Samaria and much of Jerusalem, including the Old City and other historically Jewish neighborhoods such as Shiloach (Silwan) and Shimon Hatzaddik.

Here is the 5th-year anniversary re-issue of Israeli nationalists' clarion warning against uprooting Jewish communities from Gaza - and removing its security buffer- to appease international pressure for Palestinian sovereignty.



Palestinian Gaza has actualized all the threats warned against by Israelis in this documentary prior to Israel's sacrifice of land and villages towards promises of a peaceful co-existence.

Palestinian Gaza's 5-years of ever-increasing aggression to conquer Israel belies expectations of peace for Israel from the notion of a tried-and-failed, Palestinian sovereignty.

This documentary "Sakin ba Lev" ("A Stab in the Heart") was the original warning in 2005. Watch the heartbreaking warnings against Palestinian malice against non-Muslims conservative Israelis warned against - but were over-ridden by liberal pressure and policies - ultimately leading to greater war and loss. What lessons does this hold about those still expecting that the pre-mature creation of a state of Palestine will result in a peaceful resolution (i.e. demonstrated Palestinian resignation of nationalist aims to reconquer Jerusalem and the Jewish state)?

Rabbi Shmuley debates Jews' prioritizing materialism above religious rules for values and conduct

Rabbi Elazar Muskin of the Young Israel of Century City (where the event was held) hosted and moderated a panel, "Is materialism corrupting the soul of America?" organized by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on July 28, 2010.

Participating panelists were Rabbi Naomi Levy (founder and spiritual leader of the Nashuva community - and wife to Jewish Journal editor-in-chief Rob Eshman), Jewish Journal staff-writer ("Hollywood Jew") Danielle Berrin, and Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti.  Rabbi Boteach expressed concern that, "Materialism is choking the soul of America."



The panelists debated topics which Rabbi Shmuley addresses in his book, "Renewal - A Guide to the Values-Filled Life." 

Excerpt: "But Jews believe in world redemption, the capacity for the individuals to make heaven here on earth for, the betterment of the community. Action. What you do is more important than what you believe. Good deeds always supersede good dogma."
