Why Anybody and Everybody Should Support Israel

By "anybody and everybody," I am referring to those who value freedom and basic human rights.

I am going to make this post short because this is all self-explanatory. These are all facts and I feel that the facts themselves should make anybody understand why supporting Israel is the right thing to do.

Whether you are or aren't Jewish, whether you do or don't feel a connection to the land of Israel, and whether you do or don't feel affected by what is goes on in the Middle East- that does not matter. There is still one major reason why you should care about and support Israel.

You see, Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East. It is America's most trustworthy ally.

As the talented Brigitte Gabriel, founder of Act for America, a non-profit organization that educates citizens and elected officials about national security and terrorism, says quite often, "we need to take political correctness and throw it in the garbage where it belongs."

So what does Israel's ideals and its relationship with America have to do with you?

Let's be real.
9/11.

We all know that 9/11 was a terrorist attack organized by Al Qaeda, a militant Islamist terrorist organization. (There have been other threats against America by other terrorist organizations from the Middle East- one other example is 1993 when an attack against the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels was thwarted. This attack was planned by Omar Abdel-Rahman, a leader of a radical Egyptian Islamic Group al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, that has links to al-Qaeda. For the sake of keeping this short, I won't go into further detail).

It was no accident. This was an attack on Western culture- democracy.
Al Qaeda (and al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya) have strong ties to Iran, a country that is known for funding, providing weapons and equipment for, and training terrorists.

ISIS, the Islamic States of Syria and Iraq, is responsible for murdering thousands of Christians over the past couple of months.

Israel is surrounded by all of these threats and suffers from these terrorist attacks on a regular basis (monthly, sometimes daily).

Where does this place you?
Behind Israel.
Because once (hopefully it will never get to this point) these terrorist organizations are through with Israel, they're ready to attack (and already have) and get rid of anybody else who supports Western ideals rather than their own ideology.

Why should you support Israel?
Israel is the little saint and America is the big saint.
Israel is on the front lines right now, fighting for our rights as well as its own.

Stand with freedom.
Stand with democracy.
Stand with basic human rights.
Stand with Israel.

Because at the end of the day, we're all in the same boat.
Our boat just isn't as close as Israel's boat is.
Want to keep it this way?
Do something. Say something.

I stand with Israel. I know why I do.
Do you?

Abbas and Obama

Abbas, who supports terror, attended Paris' march against terror. 
This is at least better than Obama who didn't show up at all-rather, he sent the seventh in command to represent the US.

Demand Washington get tough on Hamas.

An email I received from the Israel project:

Today we mourn for Chaya.

Yesterday Chaya Zissel Braun was killed in her stroller in Jerusalem.

A Hamas terrorist plowed his car into a train stop and cut Chaya’s life short.

Chaya was just three months old. Chaya was an American citizen.

Will you click now to sign your name and demand Washington get tough on Hamas?

Chaya’s not the only American Hamas has murdered. Since the end of spring, Hamas terrorists have killed four American citizens.

And still, Washington continues to support the Palestinian Fatah-Hamas unity government — even after American citizens are murdered in the streets by Hamas terrorists.

Enough is enough. Click here to tell Washington: End support of the Fatah-Hamas unity government until justice for murdered Americans is done.

Either Hamas turns over those who ordered, abetted, knew of, or participated in the murders of American citizens — or Washington must stop support of the Fatah-Hamas unity government.

We can't let this killing go unanswered — please, add your name and ensure Washington hears our message.

Demand Washington get tough on Hamas.

Thank you for taking a stand.

IS (ISIS), America, and Israel

This is an email I received from Act for America, an organization "whose mission is to give Americans concerned about national security and terrorism a powerful, organized, informed and mobilized voice."

This is important because IS (Islamic State), which was formerly known as ISIS (Islamic States of Iraq and Syria), has declared war on Western civilization. IS has already shown interest in working with Hamas to get rid of Israel, because Israel is a democracy and reflects off of American values.

Standing with Israel, therefore, is standing with America.

This quickly answers important questions about ISIS:http://www.thejewishweek.com/features/jw-qa/assessing-isis-threat-israel

A portion of the email is posted below:

The self-declared “Islamic State,” formerly known as ISIS/ISIL, is a direct threat to America—and a greater threat than many in America realize.

Some in the U.S., including some of our policymakers, maintain that the Islamic State is simply a warring faction in an internal, sectarian conflict exclusive to Iraq.

They are sadly mistaken.

The Islamic State is now known to be operating in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon and there are credible reports that it is also at work in Libya. Even Abu Sayyaf, the Filipino Jihadist terrorist organization, with its base of operations some 5,000 miles away from Mosul, Iraq, has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

Moreover, the Islamic State reportedly has recruits from the U.S., Great Britain, Western Europe and just about every Islamic nation around the globe—some 20,000 fighters by some estimates.

There have been public demonstrations in support of the Islamic State in The Netherlands, Austria and Indonesia.

But, most ominously, the Islamic State’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has promised to “see us in New York.”

America must not ignore this grave threat or allow it to metastasize overseas, because there can be no doubt that a Jihadist organization like the Islamic State that is already committing genocide and other atrocities, will follow through on its threats.

It may seem ridiculous when the Islamic State claims to be bent on raising “the flag of Allah in the White House,” but, rest assured, they are dead serious about trying, and as they have said:

We are here America near our target sooooon. We are everywhere.

A complacent America ignored the warning signs leading up to 9/11—the threats from Bin Laden and his allies, the terrorist attacks on American targets overseas—and the result was September 11th.

We must never be complacent again.

We must be forever vigilant.

Seven Reasons to Support Israel

For Anyone Who Wants A Quick Review of the Middle-East Conflict

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the conflict.

To start, I will explain the general conflict and then how it has led to the current situation that is occurring in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.

Please watch this 5 minute video, which explains the history of the conflict. The entire video answers many important questions, so make sure to watch all of it! It is important for you to watch this before you move on to the other information that I have posted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EDW88CBo-8

You have probably heard (and if you have not already, you probably will) that the Palestinians are suffering because of the Jews and that the Jews are occupying their territory.

Before I begin, it is important for you to know that:

1.     Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East, and gives Palestinians and Arabs more freedom than their own countries give them.

2.     The Palestinians are working with Hamas, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. Many Palestinians do want peace and are harmed by Hamas’ presence, however the Palestinian Authority does not care for its people. Unfortunately, they use people as shields and lie to the media about Israel targeting civilians during war when in fact, Israel takes the greatest measures, more than any other army, in order to decrease the number of civilian casualties. Hamas calls for Palestinians to stand on rooftops and in war zones to make it seem that Israel is targeting civilians. Hamas terrorists hide under hospitals because they know that Israel will refrain from blowing up a hospital.

3.     People say that Israel won't set clear boundaries. Well, get the Arabs to come to the table so that a solution can be discussed. Too bad the Arab League decided, "No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel."

4.     Not only has Israel attempted to make peace with Palestinians by giving up land (Gaza is an example), it also helps Palestinians and Arabs, by caring for them in Israeli hospitals and giving them equal rights, who (still) call for Israel's destruction.

5.     Many people believe that Israel stole the land they call theirs, but Israel payed for it, developed it (it was desert), and has historical and political ties to the land.

I am posting links for you.

I know that this is a lot of information. I have watered it down as much as I could.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Here is the truth.

1.     There was never a “Palestine”

http://israelclub247.blogspot.com/2013/05/myth-vs-fact.html

2.     The West Bank settlements are NOT the real obstacle to peace

(Taken from StandWithUs):

If settlements were the obstacle, we would have had peace long ago. The real obstacle is Palestinian refusal to accept a Jewish state within any borders, as reflected in Palestinian leaders’ statements and in Palestinian media. Indeed, there were no settlements when Palestinian violence against Jews began in 1920 or when violence escalated into wars and terrorism between 1948 and 1967. When Israel evacuated all settlements in Gaza
in 2005, terrorism and hostility escalated. When Israel offered to dismantle West Bank settlements for peace
in 2000 and 2008, Palestinian leaders said no. The controversy about settlements is a symptom, not a
cause, of the conflict, which is rooted in Palestinian rejectionism. When Palestinians return to the negotiating table in good faith, settlements, which comprise less than 2 percent of West Bank land, and other outstanding issues can be resolved.

3.     The establishment of Israel has NOT done an injustice to the Palestinians

(Taken from StandWithUs):

The only grave injustice was the one Palestinian leaders inflicted on Israel and their own people. Instead of accepting the territorial compromise the UN recommended in 1947, Palestinian and Arab leaders launched a genocidal war to seize the whole territory. They refused to recognize that Jews had any rights to the land, refused any compromises that would allow both peoples to fulfill their national aspirations,

and refused to accept the existence of a Jewish state, no matter how small. Far from being an injustice, the UN Partition Plan of 1947 offered historical justice
to the Jewish people and justice to Palestinian Arabs, who were offered the opportunity to create the first Palestinian Arab state in history. The Palestinians’ ongoing rejectionism and violence were, and continue to be, an injustice to Israelis and Palestinians alike.

4.     Israel wants peace and has given the Palestinians MANY opportunities

Over the past 80 years, Israel has repeatedly shown its willingness to make territorial compromises and accept a two-state solution—in 1937, 1947, 1979, 2000, and 2008—but Palestinian and other Arab leaders have repeatedly said no. They have rejected any Jewish state, no matter how small its territory, and tried to destroy it through wars and terrorism. Palestinian Arabs must begin to say yes to peace and agree to compromises that will fulfill the national aspirations of both peoples.

CURRENT SITUATION:

Last week, three Israeli teenagers- EyalGiladNaftali-were kidnapped and killed by Hamas terrorists. These boys were not soldiers and were not posing a threat to anybody. They were simply making their way home. Israel is now carrying out its Operation protective Edge in Gaza- where it must fight Hamas, who is targeting Israeli civilians day in and day out with rockets, and is putting Palestinian lives in danger.

Share the Truth If You Stand With the Truth

The thing is that some people would look at this and say that one must have a cruel heart to share this when the Israelis are "terrorists."

However, that is false.

1. Not only has Israel attempted to make peace with Palestinians by giving up land (Gaza is an example), it also helps Palestinians and Arabs, by caring for them in Israeli hospitals and giving them equal rights, who (still) call for Israel's destruction. Many people believe that Israel stole the land they call theirs, but Israel payed for it, developed it (it was desert), and has historical and political ties to the land.

2. It is the Palestinians, the radical Arabs, and Hamas that are not allowing peace to be exercised. The Palestinians are working with ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. This is who Israel has to make peace with, and so much of the world is still blaming Israel for there not being peace. People say that Israel won't set clear boundaries. Well, get the Arabs to come to the table so that a solution can be discussed. Too bad the Arab League decided, "No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel."

3. A lot of people are ignorant and believe what they see and hear on CNN and the like. Hamas calls for Palestinians to stand on rooftops and in war zones to make it seem that Israel is targeting civilians. Hamas terrorists hide under hospitals because they know that Israel will refrain from blowing up a hospital.

People believe that the Palestinians are suffering at the hands of Israelis, but the truth is that Palestinians are suffering at the hands of Hamas and their own leaders, who keep them ignorant and feed them lies about Israel. This is why the Palestinians are so filled with hate- because they grow up with it.

Israel wants Peace. Anyone who works with Hamas wants war.

"If Palestine were to lay down their guns tomorrow, there would be no war. If Israel were to lay down theirs, there would be no Israel" - Benjamin Netanyahu

So yes, this is the truth.

Share the truth if you stand with the truth.
