The Mattot Arim, PSI, WIG Joint Statement: American Jewish Responses

On Sunday, this author posted The Mattot Arim, PSI, WIG Joint Statement calling for Jews in Chutz L’Aretz (Diaspora) to Lobby against the creation of a terror state in Yehuda and the Shomron.

This piece was posted with some trepidation, with pictures of our Israeli Dumber and Dumber… as well as with this author’s personal caveat.

The trepidation was based on anticipation and expectations as to how some would respond from thousands of miles away, as they sit snug and smug in what they perceive as their own safe, secure property in the US, not believing for an instant that they, like the Jews of Europe of the late 1930s and 1940s, could someday be delegitimized and dehumanized. read more

Investigative Report by David Bedein; “Amona”: What Really Transpired – Call for Commission of Investigation

Commentary;

And just like all other “Israeli Commissions of Investigation” formed in the past, it will probably be one of stone-walling, whitewashing and skewing in favor of the Regime. Just like the commissions after the Yom Kippur War, after the Sabra and Shatilla Camps, after the shootings at Ma’arat Hamachpela in the early 1990s, after the Rabin Assassination, about illegal kidnapping by the Regime of the time of S’fardi infants in the hospital and on and on, Justice is never done, truth is never served by all of these so-called Blue Ribbon Israeli Commissions of Investigation. The perpetrators never pay the price and go free to up the ante, to do still greater sins with total immunity from the people scrutiny. MB read more
