Tefila for the Holocaust Victims, Survivors and their Families.

Pełne wystąpienie premiera Netanjahu w ONZ

Tłumaczenie: Redakcja Erec Israel

Dziękuję Panie Przewodniczący, dostojni goście, przyjechałem tutaj z Jerozolimy, żeby przemawiać w imieniu mojego narodu, narodu Izraela. Przyjechałem tutaj, by mówić o zagrożeniach, z którymi się mierzymy oraz o szansach, które widzimy. Przyjechałem tutaj, żeby zdemaskować bezczelne kłamstwa wypowiadane właśnie z tego podium, a skierowane przeciwko mojemu krajowi oraz dzielnym żołnierzom, którzy go bronią.

Panie i panowie, naród Izraela modli się o pokój.

Jednak nasze nadzieje na pokój oraz nadzieje na pokój innych ludzi na świecie są w niebezpieczeństwie. Bo gdziekolwiek byśmy nie spojrzeli, tam wojujący islam jest w natarciu.

To nie są wojownicy. To nie jest islam. To wojujący islam. Nie powinno dziwić, że jego pierwszymi ofiarami stają się inni muzułmanie, ale wojujący islam nie oszczędza nikogo. Chrześcijanie, Żydzi, wyznawcy jazydyzmu, Kurdowie – nie ma takiego wyznania, wiary czy grupy etnicznej, która byłaby poza zainteresowaniem islamistów. I oni się szybko rozprzestrzeniają w każdym zakątku świata. Znacie słynne amerykańskie powiedzenie “cała polityka jest lokalna”? Dla wojujących islamistów “cała polityka jest globalna”. Ponieważ ich ostatecznym celem jest zdominowanie świata.

Obecnie to zagrożenie może się wydać niektórym przesadzone, ale ono się rozwija jak rak, który atakuje poszczególne części ciała. Jeśli ten rak pozostanie niewykryty, to pojawią się przerzuty w coraz to innych miejscach. Żeby zapewnić pokój i bezpieczeństwo na świecie, to musimy usunąć ten nowotwor zanim nie będzie za późno. W zeszłym tygodniu wiele krajów obecnych tutaj słusznie oklaskiwało prezydenta Obamę za jego wysiłki na rzecz zwalczenia Państwa Islamskiego. Ale tygodnie wcześniej niektóre z tych krajów, które teraz popierają konfrontację z Państwem Islamskim, przeciwstawiały się izraelskiej rozprawie z Hamasem. Te kraje ewidentnie nie zrozumiały, że Państwo Islamskie i Hamas są gałęziami tego samego trującego drzewa.

Państwo Islamskie i Hamas łączy fanatyczna wiara, którą obie organizacje chcą narzucić poza terenem, które kontrolują.

Posłuchajcie samozwańczego kalifa Państwa Islamskiego. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi powiedział 2 miesiące temu: wkrótce nadejdzie dzień, kiedy muzułmanin będzie wszędzie chodził jako władca… Muzułmanie sprawią, że świat usłyszy i zrozumie znaczenie terroryzmu i obalą bożka demokracji.

A teraz posłuchajcie Chaleda Maszala, przywódcy Hamasu. On przedstawił podobną wizję przyszłości: mówimy to do świata zachodniego. Z mocą Allaha zostaniecie pokonani. Jutro nasz naród zasiądzie na tronie świata.

Statut Hamasu stawia sprawę jasno – bezpośrednim celem Hamasu jest zniszczenie Izraela, ale Hamas ma szersze cele. Oni również chcą kalifatu. Hamas również ma globalne ambicje tak jak inni wojujący islamiści. To dlatego zwolennicy Hamasu w dziki sposób świętowali na ulicach Gazy, kiedy Amerykanie zostali zamordowani w atakach z 11 września. I to dlatego przywódcy Hamasu potępili USA za zabicie Osamy Bin Ladena, którego oni uważali za świętego wojownika.

Zatem kiedy chodzi o ostateczne cele, to Hamas jest Państwem Islamskim, a Państwo Islamskie jest Hamasem.

A to, co ich łączy, łączy również wszystkich wojujących islamistów: Boko Haram w Nigerii; Ash-Shabab w Somalii; Hezbollah w Libanie; An-Nusrah w Syrii; Armię Mahdiego w Iraku; oraz oddziały Al Kaidy w Jemenie, Libii, Filipinach, Indiach i w innych miejscach.

Niektórzy są radykalnymi sunnitami, a niektórzy są radykalnymi szyitami. Niektórzy chcą przywrócić przedśredniowieczny kalifat z VII wieku. Inni chcą wywołać apokaliptyczny powrót imama z IX wieku. Działają na różnych terytoriach, atakują rozmaite ofiary, a nawet zabijają samych siebie w walce o zwierzchnictwo. Ale łączy ich wszystkich fanatyczna ideologia. Oni wszyscy chcą powiększać wyspy wojującego islamu, gdzie nie ma wolności i tolerancji, gdzie kobiety są traktowane jak ruchomy majątek, chrześcijanie są dziesiątkowani, a mniejszości podporządkowywane. Czasami otrzymują ostre ultimatum: nawróć się albo umieraj. Dla nich każdy może być niewiernym, nawet inny muzułmanin.

Panie i panowie, ambicje wojującego islamu, żeby zdominować świat, wydają się szalone. Ale podobnie było z globalnymi ambicjami innej fanatycznej ideologii, która doszła do władzy 80 lat temu.

Iranian nuclear physicist killed by Revolutionary Guard, not Israel, relative claims

Sister of slain scientist says Iran killed him because he would not agree to help weaponize peaceful nuclear activities.

The sister of a leading Iranian nuclear physicist widely believed to have been assassinated by Israel as part of an effort to derail the Islamic Republic’s drive to create nuclear weapons says her brother was murdered by Iran ’s Revolutionary Guard (IRI) because he wouldn’t cooperate with the effort to divert nuclear activities from peaceful purposes.

When Iranian scientist Dr. Ardeshir Hosseinpour was killed in February 2007, the cause of death was reported to be “gassing” and most presumed the act was carried out by Israel . That belief stood, largely because of Iranian accusations to that effect; and because of Israeli policy to neither confirm nor deny such acts. But now, seven years later, Mahboobeh Hosseinpour has come forward with the claim that the IRI was behind her brother’s death because of his refusal to be involved in Iran ’s nuclear enrichment program whose use was for atomic purposes.

If Hosseinpour’s account can be confirmed, it could have an impact on the next round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 — the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany.

Speaking to The Media Line from Turkey via Skype in a conversation arranged by the Iranian opposition group The New Iran, 52-year old Mahboobeh Hosseinpour said that she learned through her sister-in-law, Sara Araghi, of her brother’s secret research, and particularly about a DVD which contained research and formulas for building an atomic bomb 12 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb and methods for neutralizing it.

Mahmoobeh Hosseinpour learned that her brother was contacted in November 2004 by three special agents of IRI’s Defense Department with a personal message from IRI’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, enlisting him to work on increasing IRI’s uranium enrichment capabilities for the purpose of building atomic weapons; and with a secondary goal of teaching and supervising Russian and North Korean scientists in order to accelerate the project. Speaking about her brother, Hosseinpour said that “he was offered a two star rank in the Revolutionary Guard and ownership of factories,” if he agreed.

Op-Ed: The Men Who Enjoy Killing Jews

[ Like Eichmann, they don’t murder Jews for their money. ]

Eichmann’s passport, used to flee to Argentina

There is no greater temptation than explaining a mass murderer through his childhood’s ghosts. Palestinian terrorists slit the throats of the Fogels till the last baby they find? It is because of the checkpoints around Nablus. Mohammed Deif built the tunnels of death in southern Israel? It is because of the “occupation”.

Of Adolf Eichmann it has been said that he was an unhappy child, an unfriendly and lonely student, a sexually inhibited boy frustrated by the financial crisis of his father. For fifty years, since Colonel Eichmann was hanged by the Israelis and his ashes scattered in the Mediterranean, the architect of the Holocaust has been portrayed as a gray bureaucrat, an ordinary human being, a faceless wheel of a larger project, driven by cowardice, desire for social advancement and bourgeois moral myopia.

Now a book by the German scholar Bettina Stangneth, “Eichmann Before Jerusalem”, tells us the truth.

“If 10.3 million of these enemies had been killed – Eichmann said of the Jews – then we would have fulfilled our duty. We could have said: ‘We destroyed an enemy’”.

This is not the same Eichmann who is “incapable of thinking” in Hannah Arendt’s words.

“We could have done more”, Eichmann went on to say after the war. “I was an idealist, I was part of the thinking process”.

Bettina Stangneth discovered a letter of 1956 where Eichmann asked then Chancellor of West Germany, Konrad Adenauer, to return to his fatherland claiming do deserve it because of what he did to the Jews. We have two images of Adolf Eichmann. The first, dating back to 1942, has been reproduced millions of times. The Chief of the Jewish Affairs office at the Gestapo has the cap and the dead head of the SS, he looks arrogant, haughty, his smile looks more like a sneer. Twenty years later, Eichmann is a man without a face, accommodating and condescending, sitting behind the crystal slabs. Eichmann here resembled those Indian fakirs covered with ashes, sitting along the banks of the Ganges at Benares. During the war, while the extermination factories accumulated his Jewish victims, Eichmann collected media clippings on his “performance”. He directed the deportations of all Jewish children from France. One of his directives was a sentence of death to the French Jews: “If you want to solve once and for all the Jewish problem for no reason we must withdraw from the line previously established in areas occupied by the Italians”.

Report: 40% of Europe’s Jews hide their Jewishness

Dr. Ruchama Weiss  ▪  Rabbi Levi Brackman

Data gathered from more than 800 European Jewish communities reveal that while some half a million Jews will attend Rosh Hashanah prayers, 70% choose not to go to synagogue during High Holidays

Data gathered from more than 800 European Jewish communities reveal that while some half a million Jews will attend Rosh Hashanah prayers, 70% choose not to go to synagogue during High Holidays.

 About 40% of Europe’s Jews choose to hide their Jewishness and avoid any activity which may reveal their religion, according to data gathered from more than 800 European Jewish communities.
Ahead of the Jewish New Year and High Holidays, the Rabbinical Center of Europe (RCE), together with the European Jewish Association (EJA), decided to check how many Jews plan to attend Rosh Hashana prayers at synagogues across Europe next week. They also examined their affiliation with the Jewish community’s institutions and their involvement in their activities

A comparison of the findings to official data and estimates about the total number of Jews in Europe indicated that about half a million Jews will attend Rosh Hashanah prayers this year. Whilst twice as many Jews are reported to attend synagogue prayers on Yom Kippur as on Saturdays throughout the year, 70% of Europe’s Jews choose not to go to the synagogue during the High Holidays.

Moreover, about 40% of Europe’s Jews choose not to express their Jewishness in their lives – neither religiously nor socially – and about 75% of Jewish children in Europe are not enrolled in Jewish schools.

Recent data of Jewish weddings in Europe also indicates that there is 80% intermarriage among Europe’s Jewish communities, when compared with the total number of Jews.

‘One Jew is born, another assimilates’

The date were gathered from more than 800 rabbis based on reports from 1,353 synagogues across Europe and other Jewish community institutions, such as schools, as well as by comparing the number of Jewish weddings to the number of Jews in every city according to the acceptable estimates and Jewish Agency registrations.

Rabbi Menachem Margolin, general director of the EJA and RCE was shocked by the extent of intermarriage, but added that he was not surprised.

“This is the reason why the number of Jews worldwide has not grown since the Holocaust, although 70 years have passed,” he told Ynet. “For every Jew that is born there is a Jew who assimilates.”

Addressing the Judaism denial phenomenon, Rabbi Margolin said: “Apart from those who don’t even attend the Yom Kippur prayers and avoid being part of the community’s institutions, there are those who not only do not send their children to Jewish schools, but also forbid them to befriend and play with children who do study in those schools, so as not to be identified as Jews.”

According to Rabbi Margolin, the surge of far-right political groups across the continent, the dramatic expansion of Islam and Operation Protective Edge have presented bigger challenges than ever before for European Jewry: More attacks, more harassment of individuals, communities and institutions, more demonstrations and more politicians that speak impassioned speeches against Israel and the Jews.

He noted, however, that as a result of this new reality, there is also a large community of Jews in Europe that has heightened its connection to Judaism. Data collated by the RCE indicates that anti-Semitic incidents in schools have led to the transfer of hundreds of Jewish children from public schools to Jewish schools during the past year, and the number of visitors in the synagogues increased by 17% compared to the same period last year.

Despite the difficult situation, Rabbi Margolin believes that encouraging massive immigration to Israel is not a good solution. “Those who will answer that call will usually be the same 10-15% who are relatively active and revive the communities, rather than those who conceal their Jewishness,” he said. “This will lead to a destruction of the European Jewry.
