Let me know whether you can find ANYTHING about Israel. As of 11:00 p.m. EST, every single entry/article/announcement is about the "Palestinians" or the "West Bank." NOTHING about Israel. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. In addition, there is an option to link to an Arabic version of the site but not one for Hebrew.<br> <br> Does this bother you? If so, tell Secretary of State Clinton in an email, through her site here, and also tell everyone you know.

Don't worry about it. It relates to something that<span> </span><br> Palestinians, the Arabs, and perhaps most Americans don't realize --<br> <span> </span><span>the</span><span> </span>Jews are never going quietly again.<span> </span><span>Never.</span><span> </span>And if the world<br> <span> </span><span>doesn't</span><span> </span>come to understand that, then millions of Arabs are going to<span> </span><br> die. It's as simple as that.<br> <span> </span><br> Throughout the history of the world, the most abused, kicked-around<br> <span> </span><span>race</span><span> </span>of people have been the Jews. Not just during the holocaust of<span> </span><br> World War II, but for thousands of years. They have truly been "The<br> <span> </span><span>Chosen People" in a terrible and tragic sense.</span><br> <span> </span><br> The Bible story of Egypt 's enslavement of the Jews is not just a<span> </span><br> story, it is history, if festooned with theological legend and<br> <span> </span><span>heroic</span><span> </span>epics. In 70 A. D. the Romans,<span> </span><span>which had for a long time</span><br> <span> </span><span>tolerated</span><span> </span>the Jews -- even admired them as 'superior' to other<span> </span><br> vassals -- tired of their truculent demands for independence and<br> <span> </span><span>decided</span><span> </span>on an early "Solution" to the Jewish problem. Jerusalem was<br> <span> </span><span>sacked</span><span> </span>and reduced to near rubble, Jewish resistance was pursued and<span> </span><br> crushed by the implacable Roman War Machine -- see ' Masada '. And<br> <span> </span><span>thus</span><span> </span>began The Diaspora, the dispersal of Jews throughout the rest<br> <span> </span><span>of</span><span> </span>the world.<br> <span> </span><br> Their homeland destroyed, their culture crushed, they looked<span> </span><br> desperately for the few niches in a hostile world where they could<br> <span> </span><span>be</span><span> </span>safe. That safety was fragile, and often subject to the whims of<br> <span> </span><span>moody</span><span> </span>hosts. The words 'pogrom', 'ghetto', and 'anti-Semitism' come<span> </span><br> from this treatment of the first mono-theistic people. Throughout<br> Europe , changing times meant sometimes tolerance, sometimes even<br> <span> </span><span>warmth</span><span> </span>for the Jews, but eventually it meant hostility, then<span> </span><br> malevolence. There is not a country in Europe or Western Asia that<br> <span> </span><span>at</span><span> </span>one time or another has not decided to lash out against the<br> <span> </span><span>children</span><span> </span>of Moses, sometimes by whim, sometimes by manipulation.<span> </span><br> <span> </span><br> Winston Churchill calls Edward I one of England 's very greatest<br> <span> </span><span>kings</span>. It was under his rule in the late 1200's that Wales and<br> Cornwall were hammered into the British crown, and Scotland and<span> </span><br> Ireland were invaded and occupied. He was also the first European<br> <span> </span><span>monarch</span><span> </span>to set up a really effective administrative bureaucracy,<br> <span> </span><span>surveyed</span><span> </span>and censused his kingdom, established laws and political<span> </span><br> divisions. But he also embraced the Jews.<br> <span> </span><br> Actually Edward didn't embrace Jews so much as he embraced their<br> <span> </span><span>money</span>. For the English Jews had acquired wealth -- understandable,<span> </span><br> because this people that could not own land or office, could not<br> <span> </span><span>join</span><span> </span>most of the trades and professions, soon found out that money<br> <span> </span><span>was</span><span> </span>a very good thing to accumulate. Much harder to take away than<span> </span><br> land or a store, was a hidden sock of gold and silver coins. Ever<br> <span> </span><span>resourceful</span>, Edward found a way -- he borrowed money from the Jews<br> <span> </span><span>to</span><span> </span>finance imperial ambitions in Europe, especially France . The<span> </span><br> loans were almost certainly not made gladly, but how do you refuse<br> <span> </span><span>your</span><span> </span>King?<span> </span><span>Especially when he is 'Edward the Hammer'.</span><span> </span>Then, rather<br> <span> </span><span>than</span><span> </span>pay back the debt, Edward simply expelled the Jews. Edward was<span> </span><br> especially inventive -- he did this twice. After a time, he invited<br> <span> </span><span>the</span><span> </span>Jews back to their English homeland, borrowed more money, then<br> <span> </span><span>expelled</span><span> </span>them again.<br> <span> </span><br> Most people do not know that Spain was one of the early entrants<br> <span> </span><span>into</span><span> </span>The Renaissance. People from all over the world came to Spain<br> <span> </span><span>in</span><span> </span>the late medieval period. All were welcome -- Arabs, Jews<span>, other</span><span> </span><br><span> </span><span> </span>Europeans. The University of Salamanca was one of the great centers<br> <span> </span><span>of</span><span> </span>learning in the world -- scholars of all nations, all fields came<br> <span> </span><span>to</span><span> </span>Salamanca to share their knowledge and their ideas. But in 1492,<span> </span><br> Ferdinand and Isabella, having driven the last of Moors from the<br> Spanish Shield, were persuaded by the righteous fundamentalists of<br> <span> </span><span>the</span><span> </span>time to announce "The Act of Purification". A series of steps<span> </span><br> were taken in which all Jews and Arabs and other non-Christians were<br> <span> </span><span>expelled</span><span> </span>from the country, or would face the tools and the torches<br> <span> </span><span>of</span><span> </span>The Inquisition. From this 'cleansing' come the Sephardic Jews --<span> </span><br> as opposed to the Ashkenazis of Eastern Europe . In Eastern Europe ,<br> <span> </span><span>the</span><span> </span>sporadic violence and brutality against Jews are common<br> <span> </span><span>knowledge</span>.<span> </span><span>'Fiddler' without the music and the folksy humor.</span><span> </span>At<span> </span><br> times of fury, no accommodation by the Jew was good enough, no<br> <span> </span><span>profile</span><span> </span>low enough, no village poor enough or distant enough.<br> <span> </span><br> From these come the near-steady flow of Jews to the United States .<span> </span><br> And despite the disdain of the Jews by most 'American' Americans,<br> <span> </span><span>they</span><span> </span>came to grab the American Dream with both hands, and<br> <span> </span><span>contributed</span><span> </span>everything from new ideas of enterprise in retail and<span> </span><br> entertainment to becoming some of our finest physicians and lawyers.<br> The modern United States , in spite of itself, IS<span> </span><span>The</span><span> </span>United States<br> <span> </span><span>in</span><span> </span>part because of its Jewish blood.<span> </span><br> <span> </span><br> Then the Nazi Holocaust -- the corralling, sorting, orderly<br> <span> </span><span>eradication</span><span> </span>of millions of the people of Moses. Not something that<br> <span> </span><span>other</span><span> </span>realms in other times didn't try to do, by the way, the<span> </span><br> Germans were just more organized and had better murder technology.<br> <span> </span><br> <span> </span><br> I stood in the center of Dachau for an entire day, about 15 years<br> <span> </span><span>ago</span>, trying to comprehend how this could have happened. I had gone<span> </span><br> there on a side trip from Munich , vaguely curious about this Dachau .<br> I soon became engulfed in the enormity of what had occurred there<br> <span> </span><span>nestled</span><span> </span>in this middle and working class neighborhood.<span> </span><br> <span> </span><br> How could human beings do this to other human beings, hear their<br> <span> </span><span>cries</span>, their pleas, their terror, their pain, and continue without<br> <span> </span><span>apparently</span><span> </span>even wincing? I no longer wonder. At some times, some<span> </span><br> places, ANY sect of the human race is capable of horrors against<br> <span> </span><span>their</span><span> </span>fellow man, whether a member of the Waffen SS, a Serbian<br> <span> </span><span>sniper</span>, a Turkish policeman in 1920's Armenia , a Mississippi<span> </span><br> Klansman. Because even in the United States not all was a Rose<br> <span> </span><span>Garden.</span><span> </span>For a long time Jews had quotas in our universities and<br> <span> </span><span>graduate</span><span> </span>schools. Only so many Jews could be in a medical or law<span> </span><br> school at one time. Jews were disparaged widely. I remember as a kid<br> Jewish jokes<br> <span> </span><span>told</span><span> </span>without a wince - "Why do Jews have such big noses?"<br> <span> </span><br> Well, now the Jews have a homeland again.<span> </span><span>A place that is theirs.</span><span> </span><br> And that's the point. It doesn't matter how many times the United<br> States and European powers try to rein in Israel, if it comes down<br> <span> </span><span>to</span><span> </span>survival of its nation, its people, they will fight like no<span> </span><br> lioness has ever fought to save her cubs. They will fight with a<br> <span> </span><span>ferocity</span>, a determination, and a skill, that will astound us.<br> <span> </span><br> And many will die, mostly their attackers, I believe. If there were<span> </span><br> a macabre historical betting parlor, my money would be on the<br> <span> </span><span>Israelis to be standing at the end.</span><span> </span>As we killed the kamikazes and<br> <span> </span><span>the</span><span> </span>Wehrmacht soldaten of World War II, so will the Israelis kill<span> </span><br> their suicidal attackers, until there are not enough to torment<br> <span> </span><span>them</span>.<br> <span> </span><br> The irony goes unnoticed -- while we are hammering away to punish<br> <span> </span><span>those</span><span> </span>who brought the horrors of last September here, we restrain<span> </span><br> the Israelis from the same retaliation. Not the same thing, of<br> <span> </span><span>course</span><span> </span>-- We are We, They are They. While we mourn and seethe at<br> September 11th, we don't notice that Israel has a September 11th<span> </span><br> sometimes every day.<br> <span> </span><br> We may not notice, but it doesn't make any difference. And it<br> <span> </span><span>doesn't</span><span> </span>make any difference whether you are pro-Israeli or you think<br> Israel is the bully of the Middle East . If it comes to where a new<br> <span> </span><span>holocaust</span><span> </span>looms -- with or without the concurrence of the United<br> States and Europe -- Israel will lash out without pause or restraint<span> </span><br> at those who would try to annihilate their country.<br> <span> </span><br> The Jews will not go quietly again.<br> <span> </span><br> Joe McCain</span></b></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> <p><span></span> </p></div> <p><span></span> </p> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> <hr size="2" width="100%" align="center"> </span></div></div></td></tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="100%"></td> <td valign="bottom"></td> <td valign="bottom"></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table> <p><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"></span> </p></div><br> <hr> Download the new Windows Live Messenger <a href="http://download.live.com/" target="_blank">Find out what's new with your friends </a> <p> </p><hr> <p></p><br>No virus found in this incoming message.<br>Checked by AVG - <a href="http://www.avg.com" target="_blank">www.avg.com</a> <br>Version: 8.0.237 / Virus Database: 270.11.10/1995 - Release Date: 03/11/09 08:28:00<br><br><hr>I am using the Free version of <a href="http://www.spamfighter.com/len" target="_blank">SPAMfighter</a>.<br>We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.<br>SPAMfighter has removed 4 of my spam emails to date.<br> The Professional version does not have this message.<br> </div> <div width="1" style="color: white; clear: both;">__._,_.___</div> <div style="clear: both; white-space: nowrap; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); text-align: right;"> <span style="float: left; white-space: nowrap;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/message/782;_ylc=X3oDMTMzMmEwZjdvBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRtc2dJZAM3ODIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMjM2ODU3NjgzBHRwY0lkAzc4Mg--" target="_blank"> Messages in this topic </a> (<span style="font-weight: bold;">1</span>) </span> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJwdTRxaWQyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRtc2dJZAM3ODIEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMjM2ODU3Njgz?act=reply&messageNum=782" target="_blank"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Reply </span> (via web post) </a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbnZtNWp0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEyMzY4NTc2ODM-" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"> Start a new topic </a> </div> <div style="margin: 0pt; padding-top: 10px; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 77%;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJmNmdhMTl2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNtc2dzBHN0aW1lAzEyMzY4NTc2ODI-" target="_blank">Messages</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJnZDNyaG00BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNmaWxlcwRzdGltZQMxMjM2ODU3Njgy" target="_blank">Files</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMWZjOThhBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwaG90BHN0aW1lAzEyMzY4NTc2ODI-" target="_blank">Photos</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJnM2xibzRpBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNsaW5rcwRzdGltZQMxMjM2ODU3Njgy" target="_blank">Links</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJkNWw5OGhoBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNkYgRzdGltZQMxMjM2ODU3Njgy" target="_blank">Database</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJnOTlja2YxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwb2xscwRzdGltZQMxMjM2ODU3Njgy" target="_blank">Polls</a> | <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sephardi/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMmljNm8wBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNjYWwEc3RpbWUDMTIzNjg1NzY4Mg--" target="_blank">Calendar</a> </div> <div style="padding: 15px 0pt; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 77%;"> <br> </div> <div style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); padding: 5px 0pt; font-family: verdana; font-size: 77%;"> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJlbWU1ZzNyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyNzM1NzU1BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA3NjMxNQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTIzNjg1NzY4Mw--" target="_blank"> <img alt="Yahoo!

Please let your rabbis, friends and relatives WORLDWIDE know.<br> <br>Each "kit" will come with a copy of the Kashrut certificates from the Badatz Beit Yosef and the Shomron religious council. The supplier is Tavlinai Natanel from the Barkan Industrial Center. I am buying via a well known shopkeeper in the shuk. Everything is being cleaned for Pesach in his store as I write this.<br> <br>If you have a charity that is registered on eBay and would like to send your donors to my auctions we can arrange for your charity to benefit. Give me an approximate number of orders and the name of your organization and I will make a special auction just for you to send your patrons to. Your donation tier will start at 10% but will be promoted according to number of sales. Each group of 180 sales will earn a promotion up to a maximum of 30% of the auction earnings.<br> <br>For examples see items:<br><a href="http://stores.shop.ebay.com/salesfromisrael_Spices-teas-and-coffees_W0QQ_fsubZ701607010QQ_sidZ63275920QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322" target="_blank">http://stores.shop.ebay.com/salesfromisrael_Spices-teas-and-coffees_W0QQ_fsubZ701607010QQ_sidZ63275920QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322</a><br> <br>Items are certified Kosher for Passover for Ashkenazim and Sephardim by Badatz Beit Yossef under the auspices of Rabbi Ovadia Yossef.<br><br>Individual items will become available for sale later this week. Bulk orders are also available.<br><br>Thank you and have a Very Happy Purim Holiday and a Wonderful Adar!<br><br>Nofia Vered Shem Tov (aka Bonnie)<br> <span><span title="Skype actions"><span><img style="height: 11px; width: 7px;" height="11"></span><span><img style="width: 16px;" title="" name="skype_tb_img_f1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><img title="" name="skype_tb_img_a1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"></span></span><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><span title="Call this phone number in Israel with Skype: +972544846899"><span><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1"><img style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 1px; width: 1px;" width="1" height="1">054-484-6899</span><span><img style="height: 11px; width: 19px;" height="11"></span></span></span><br clear="all"> 973-910-5173<br> </div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->

As for the children, that's another story. A girl was killed during the operation, in the crossfire. In all the operations that involved capturing Israeli hostages, the hostages were killed by the bullets of the Israeli forces. In the operation of Dalal Al-Maghrabi, the [Israelis] fired like crazy on the bus, and killed a large number of Jewish hostages. In the Ma'alot operation, hostages were taken at a high school. [The Israelis] used anti-tank missiles to storm the school, killing many. The same thing happened in my operation. When we fired at them, in response to their fire, they began shooting in our direction like crazy. They are the ones who killed the hostages."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->

Like any good Jew, he defended himself and his fellows. Naturally, not a single Arab was arrested, but - how ironic! - as is well known, in the State of Israel Jews are forbidden to defend themselves, and the police arrested Shimshon, on the charge of no less than <strong><b>lynch,</b></strong> accused of<strong><b> </b></strong>assaulting an Arab in the Gaza Strip in June 2005.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">The Arab attacker, Hillal Mujiada, who said his injury was caused by a soldier, was under arrest for throwing rocks at Jews but no charges were pressed against him.<br /><br />What is absurd about all this is that that same Arab who was said to be the victim of a lynch was already seen walking about, the same day. The very use of the word "lynch" in this situation is excruciatingly painful, since we all remember the brutal and shocking lynch of the two IDF soldiers who took a wrong turn, entered Ramallah and were brutally massacred by a lynching mob.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">Following Shimshon' arrest, the police asked to extend his arrest until the end of the criminal proceedings. Over the course of two long and exhausting years Shimshon spent seven months in Ayalon Prison, and was under house arrest, under harsh conditions, the rest of the time.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">A year ago Shimshon married; we should mention the great tension under which the young couple lived in the shadow of the trial that refused to end. Half a year ago, it seemed that everything had come to a conclusion. A forum of three judges in the District Court sentenced Shimshon to six months of community service. But, what can be done? The State Attorney's Office fights with all its might to put good Jews in jail, and it filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. After another half year of tortuous delay, the Supreme Court decided, with no conscience, and certainly without a Jewish heart, to sentence Shimshon to fifteen months of imprisonment, which he is to begin serving next Sunday, July 13. He has to report at 10:00am in the Beersheva District Court.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12;">Every Jewish heart quakes when hearing that, after two thousand years of Exile, the State of Israel sends a Jew to long months in prison for defending himself and his fellows, while, in the background, we hear of more and more Arab murderers who simply are freed and sent home. <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">For how long?</span></b></span></span><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12;">A demonstration is planned in Beersheva, at the time and place where Shimshon is to enter prison, i.e. on SUNDAY July 13th at 9:00am at the entrance to the beersheva magistartes court.</span></span> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">Please make sure to come.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">We also request your financial help for the young Cytryn family, which remains without a breadwinner. And, importantly, the public must remain on the alert, and engage in follow-up: to which prison Shimshon is incarcerated - this makes a great deal of difference; whether he receives the vacations to which he is entitled by law; and, most importantly, that his time in prison be reduced by one third.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">It is important to know that major public pressure significantly impacts on the taking of decisions on such matters.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">For details regarding the demonstration and financial help to the Cytryn family:</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">David Leibman 0526-051156</span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:12;">Nadia Matar</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;">, Women in green 0505-500834</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->

A case of legal persecution of loyal Jews by the authorities and a case of capitulation to the Arab enemy.<br /><br />Women in Green will not keep quiet.<br /><br />On the contrary!

[The hearing on June 1 was originally scheduled for May 29 but was postponed after chief police prosecutor Shir Laufer said she was vacationing in Eilat.]</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Meirchik, who remained handcuffed and shackled in leg-irons throughout the hearing, has refused to be handcuffed inside the Neve Tirza prison where she is kept in solitary confinement and denied visitation and telephone rights. Prison authorities have also denied her the right from meeting with her attorney in her cell.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> After the hearing, prison guard Orit Hasidi speeded Meirchik out of the courtroom into a waiting prison van despite the judge's order to allow her to meet with defense attorney Aviad Visoly.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Earlier, police at the Kfar Saba court barred friends from entering the open court session after they said that Tzvia Sariel, who earlier this year spent three months in prison in similar circumstances, was provocative. The judge later agreed to admit her.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Meirchik, who appeared gaunt, managed to convey to family members that she was hungry.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> "My sister is very allergic and can only eat certain foods," Rivka's sister Racheli said. "We, the family, hired the attorney, because we want to see Rivka released. Why is there so much foot-dragging and why does it [judicial process] take so long?"</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Meirchik, like Sariel, has refused to accept the authority of the court including agreeing to police conditions for her release and is being held until the end of judicial proceedings.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> "According to the police release sheet, the reason for her arrest was that she refused to identify herself," Visoly said. "There was no other cause."</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Visoly said the police arrest record shows that Meirchik, arrested at the Shvut Ami Jewish community near Kedumim on April 2, was arrested for failing to identify herself and not for committing any other offenses. Only later, Visoly said, police charged Meirchik with trespassing, disturbing and assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and violating a military closure order.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p> "The arresting officer did not follow protocol when he failed to identify himself or explain [to Meirchik] that she was arrested and for what reason," Visoly said. "According to paragraph 24 of the criminal code, this arrest was illegal. And in the case of an illegal arrest, the suspect has a right to resist."</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p> The Petah Tikva District Court also deemed Meirchik's arrest and incarceration illegal for another reason. She was imprisoned and ordered held until the end of judicial proceedings before the prosecution presented any evidence against her.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> The next hearing is scheduled for June 5 at the Kfar Saba Magistrates Court.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> The major Israeli media, particularly the state-operated radio and television, did not mention a word of this travesty of justice. So, we must turn to you, lovers of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, who were so effective in the case of Tzvia Sariel and who, thanks to your efforts was released from jail, and ask that you act to help defend Jewish rights in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> As a first step, we request that you telephone -- rather than e-mail -- the Israeli Embassy or the Israeli consulate nearest you and demand to know why Rivka is still in prison. The embassy's phone number is 202-364-5500.Stress, that as an American citizen, you can ask the State Department to investigate what you feel is clearly a human rights violation.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Now, we are asking you to call your member of Congress and raise the issue of Rivka Meirchik. We also ask you to call the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor and inform them of Rivka and demand an investigation. Tell the department officer you have also raised Rivka's case with your member of Congress. The State Department's mainnumbers are 202-647-4000 or 1-800-877-8339.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> The Olmert government, with an approval rating of near zero, has refused any accountability to the Israeli people and fears only the Bush administration. Unless we act now, there will be many more Rivkas in jail.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> If you agree with this, please act quickly. What could be more important than winning the release of a Jewish child imprisoned for loving her country and people?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> We also urgently need your help to pressure the office of President Shimon Peres this week to pardon Dani and Itzik Halamish who are innocent of any crime but are sitting in prison.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Please contact the military attaché at the Israeli Embassy [telephone: 202-364-5500] and ask to speak to the military attaché. Express your outrage that the Israel Army abandoned its fighters for protecting Jews. Don't argue. The military attache's office knows exactly what you're talking about. Stress that you are an American citizen whose support for the Israeli military is based on its protection of Jews. Say that you also plan to discuss this case with your member of Congress who decides on <st1:country-region><st1:place>U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> military aid to <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> You can also fax the president's office at: (011 972) 2 567 1314.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->

Pidion Shvuyim for young womenThe following was received in an email from Datya Itzhaki:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rivka Meirchik Sent To Jail For Another Month</span><br /><br /> Rivka Meirchik is the second young Jewish woman this year to languish in the Neve Tirza prison without trial after refusing to recognize the authority of the court and to cooperate with the prosecution.</span> <p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; direction: ltr; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> Earlier this year, 18 year-old Tzvia Sariel spent over four months in Neve Tirza until she was released in March and all charges against her were dropped. [In January, seven teenage Jewish girls were released after being held for three weeks in Neve Tirza without trial. The 13 to 14 year-olds were also arrested for Jewish settlement activities and also refused to cooperate with authorities.]<br /> On May 22, an Israeli judge sent Meirchik back to jail for another month after deeming her refusal to cooperate with authorities an ideological crime.<br /> Rivka Meirchik, 29, an anti-government demonstrator who participated in Jewish settlement and was arrested almost two months ago, is being held until the end of judicial proceedings. She has refused to cooperate with authorities, including paying a release bond and agreeing to restrictive conditions.<br /> "[For Meirchik] it's ideological," Kfar Saba Magistrate Clara Rejiniano said. "The law allows me to keep a person nine months. These are legal decisions which we must respect." Rejiniano, who ordered Meirchik remanded in custody until the end of judicial proceedings on April 21, scheduled the next hearing for June 19.<br /> Ms. Meirchik was arrested on April 2 in the Jewish community of Shvut Ami after police ordered all Jews evacuated from the area. [Shvut Ami was one of the Jewish communities established after the expulsion of 10,000 Jews from Gush Katif and the northern Shomron in August 2005.]<br /> Merichik was charged with trespassing, assaulting a police office and disobeying military orders after the area was proclaimed a closed military zone. For her part, she said that she was beaten by police.<br /> She has since been held in the Neve Tirza prison after she refused to recognize the authority of the court, refused to cooperate with police prosecutor Shir Laufer and refused to accept court-imposed conditions for her release.<br /> Meirchik, who appeared pail and frail, has also refused to be handcuffed or shackled with leg-irons with the result that prison authorities have refused to allow her out of her solitary confinement cell and have deprived her of phone and visitation rights. However, she is brought to court appearances manacled and on April 14, Kfar Saba Magistrate Nava Bechor ordered her held in leg-irons and handcuffs throughout the hearing. [Bechor is the same judge who ordered Tzvia Tsariel held for a fourth month in jail prior to her trial.]<br /> During the May 22 hearing Rejiniano said she had no authority to release Meirchik, despite the prosecution's insistence on calling an expert witness to testify on the land claims by Arabs to Shvut Ami, located near the Jewish community of Kedumim, to prove the trespass offense.</span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; direction: ltr; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> Defense attorney Aviad Visoly asked that Meirchik be released from hearings as the cross-examination of the witness would be lengthy and Meirchik had already spent close to two months in prison.<br /> "I reiterate my request to free the defendant from the hearing and all other hearings," Visoly said, "in view of the fact that the prosecution witness has brought 10 pages on testimony and will be questioned on every paragraph."<br /> Attorney Rinat Levine from the military prosecutor's office presented the court with Jordanian maps and tax possession registration documents from 1933 and 1936 as evidence that the land is owned by Arabs.<br /> The judge, visibly annoyed by prosecutor Nili Dayan for bringing the witness, nevertheless castigated Visoli for a political cross-examination.<br /> "Who has sovereignty in Judea and Samaria according to international law?" Visoli asked Levine. "I will prove that according to international law that Israeli law is the law in Judea and Samaria."<br /> The judge refused to allow Levine to answer the question.<br /> "This is political," Rejiniano said as she addressed the prosecutor. "Do you understand what you have brought to this trial for an offense of trespassing?"<br /> A second witness, border policeman Nasid Sayad, testified that Meirchik had assaulted him and resisted arrest while she was sitting on the ground.<br /> Sayad, who said he bent down to touch Meirchik's bag, first said Meirchik bit him when she was sitting down and later testified that Meirchik also slapped him.<br /> Visoli asked Sayad to demonstrate how a police office, over one meter tall, with a second police officer at his side, was slapped and bitten by a very slight young woman in a sitting position. Sayad refused to cooperate<br />with the defense's request.<br /> Visoli said he will appeal to the Supreme Court to have Meirchik released immediately. He said that it isn't a crime under Israeli law not to recognize the authority of the court.<br /> "It's shocking," Visoli said. "Her incarceration is illegal and so is keeping her in custody until the end of proceedings."<br /><br /> The major Israeli media, particularly the state-operated radio and television, did not mention a word of this travesty of justice. So, we must turn to you, lovers of Israel , who were so effective in the case of Tzvia<br />Sariel and who, thanks to your efforts was released from jail, and ask that you act to help defend Jewish rights in Israel .<br /> As a first step, we request that you telephone -- rather than e-mail -- the Israeli Embassy or the Israeli consulate nearest you and demand to know why Rivka is still in prison. The embassy's phone number is 202-364-5500. <br />Stress, that as an American citizen, you can ask the State Department to investigate what you feel is clearly a human rights violation.<br /> Now, we are asking you to call your member of Congress and raise the issue of Rivka Meirchik. We also ask you to call the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor and inform them of Rivka and<br />demand an investigation. Tell the department officer you have also raised Rivka's case with your member of Congress. The State Department's main numbers are 202-647-4000 or 1-800-877-8339.<br /> The Olmert government, with an approval rating of near zero, has refused any accountability to the Israeli people and fears only the Bush administration. Unless we act now, there will be many more Rivkas in jail.<br /> If you agree with this, please act quickly. What could be more important than winning the release of a Jewish woman imprisoned for loving her country and people?<br /><br />With Love of Israel,<br />Datya Itzhaki </span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->

The two IDF combat unit veterans have asked President Shimon Peres for a pardon - but no response has yet been received.<br /><br />The Halamish brothers were to have entered prison several weeks ago, but they received temporary reprieves from various courts in light of their request for a pardon. However, on Monday, the Supreme Court denied their request to have their sentences pushed off for good until Peres makes his decision.<br /><br /><strong>Final Appeal Still Pending<br /></strong>On Tuesday, the brothers filed a final appeal, maintaining that if ultimately Peres decides to pardon them after they have spent time in jail, this would be a blow to the presidential authority to pardon them.<br /><br />While the Supreme Court "tries to figure out what to make of this appeal," in the words of activist Datia Yitzchaki, who has been closely following the case, the brothers arrived at the Jerusalem detention center to begin their sentence. They will be brought to the Supreme Court tomorrow to hear a final decision.<br /><br />The brothers were convicted of attacking Arabs who infiltrated the fields of their town, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=103341">Maaleh Rechavam</a> in eastern Gush Etzion. Not only do they claim that the Arabs attacked first, they also say they did not shoot at all. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/125707">Read here the full story</a> of the incident and some of the judicial obstacles the brothers faced.<br /><br /><strong>"Big Event" at Maaleh Rechavam<br /></strong>Yitzchaki also serves as the secretary of the small town of Maaleh Rechavam, which is named for the late terrorist victim, Tourism Minister and IDF Central Commander Rehavam (Gandi) Ze'evi. Maaleh Rechavam, which the government currently considers an unauthorized outpost, numbers five families and eight singles, and is seeking to add residents.<br /><br />"The members need to be strengthened, given the recent events," Yitzchaki told Arutz-7, "and this Friday, Lag BaOmer, we will have a special event in the town to raise morale and to invite people to see our town. There will be music and activities, and everyone is invited to this important event."<br /></div> <div style="float: right;"><a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/">www.IsraelNationalNews.com</a></div> © Copyright IsraelNationalNews.co<div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Start of StatCounter Code -->
