The 1967 Borders​​​ Are Dangerous for Israel

Would someone please give me an honest answer?

Does anyone really believe that the Arab world will be satisfied with the pre-1967 borders?

Will they lay down their arms and finally give us peace? This is extremely dangerous for Israel.

How will Israel defend itself without the Golan Heights and the Jordan Valley?

Our enemies will be able to launch rockets from a border that is 18KM from Tel Aviv.

Israel's Critical Security Needs   MUST WATCH

 

 

​Look at what is going on in the Middle East. The revolutions are bringing to the surface elements which are encouraging Jihad and a third intifada and the masses are screaming 'Death to Israel, Death to the Jews '

It feels as if the walls are closing in, like we are being strangled, suffocated.

Abba Eban: the June 1967 map represented Israel's "Auschwitz" borders
David Bedein

"When Abba Eban, appeared at the United Nations following the Six Day war, Israel's foreign minister, he described the fragility of Israel's 1949-1967 map as Israel's "Auschwitz" lines. 

Abba Eban, who died on November 17, 2002, will forever be remembered as Israel's most articulate foreign minister

The following statement by Abba Eban was cited in the Jerusalem Post of August 18, 1995 by Jerusalem Post columnist Moshe Kohn:

 'We have openly said that the map will never again be the same as on June 4, 1967. For us, this is a matter of security and of principles. The June map is for us equivalent to insecurity and danger. I do not exaggerate when I say that it has for us something of a memory of Auschwitz. We shudder when we think of what would have awaited us in the circumstances of June, 1967, if we had been defeated; with Syrians on the mountain and we in the valley, with the Jordanian army in sight of the sea, with the Egyptians who hold our throat in their hands in Gaza. This is a situation which will never be repeated in history.'

- Abba Eban, Israeli Statesman, in Der Spiegel, November 5, 1969
(with thanks to Dr. Aaron Lerner and to Clarence Wagner for locating this item)

On July 26, 1978, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, whose parents and older brother were murdered by the Nazis, commented on Israeli Televsion about Abba Eban 's use of the term 'Auschwitz lines', when he described the June 4, 1967 map, saying that 'you have never heard such an extreme term from me . . . because there will be no Auschwitz here'.

Yet Abba Eban had a way of presenting Israel's case in the context of the traumas of Jewish history."

Does it look as if the Arabs want peace? Look around you.Why do some people so naively support going back to the pre-1967 borders? Have concessions ever produced peace?  This is dangerous. Will there be peace?

Please. I genuinely want to know how you think this can be good for Israel. This compromises our security and jeopardises our very existence.

You can respond in Hebrew, English or Greek
​
Please watch this show so that you can better understand what is at stake. We need to also understand Arab intentions so that we can determine if we indeed have a partner for peace. Look into it. Judge for yourself. The truth is, people are not really interested and don't care about Israel and whether it is at risk. People should start caring though because Islamic violence and conquest doesn't end with Israel: They swear that they are coming your way. They are also screaming "Death to America, Death to the Infidels"

​

​​Please listen to what President Obama's Special Assistant is saying in this video.

​​

  MAMMOTH PROTECTION FORCE AGAINST ISRAEL. ​

​

She is saying that the US should stop giving financial aid to Israel, even if it means alienating American Jews.

She is saying that billions of dollars should be given to a new Palestinian state to build up a MAMMOTH PROTECTION FORCE AGAINST ISRAEL.

She is also saying that in the event that Israel would defend itself against the Palestinians, there should be an International Military Intervention.

Listen to her.

This is the Responsibility to Protect Act that was used in Libya. This has been adopted by the United Nations, and the current US administration. LISTEN.

Please help me understand how you think.

My Reaction to the Mainstream State of Mind

My Reaction to the Mainstream State of Mind

By Dionysis Theodorou

My writing is mostly a reaction to anti-Semetism, Islamic terrorism in the world and the mainstream media's passive reaction to these two evils.

Instead of strongly condemning Islamic terror which is responsible for death and fear on most of the planet today, the media, the United Nations, the European Union, and in general, the International Community, condemns Israel for defensive operations, building in Jerusalem and struggling to survive. The world has always been anti-Semetic and would just have Israel put down its weapons and surrender and stop making a fuss about the 300 million Arabs surrounding them, that are bent on their total destruction. This does not include the additional one billion Muslims worldwide who are openly anti-Semetic.

What the world fails to realise--preferring to be in denial and constantly assuming a position of appeasement--is that these same Islamists are blowing themselves up and killing innocents all over the world, including in European cities in what, to them, is a holy war--Jihad--to destroy Israel, America and western Judeao-Christian culture, with the declared goal of establishing, instead, an Islamic State under Shariah law.

The blindness, hypocrisy and total denial frustrates me, saddens me and angers me.

I realise that many Muslims are not radical in their actions and maybe not even in their ideas. I have had Muslim friends in Cyprus and in the US who where very western in their ways and in their lifestyle. This is not what stands out though. These moderates are hardly seen or heard. Where are the Muslim rallies against terror? Where are those who speak out against Jihad?

Instead, what you see in the streets of London and other UK cities, in the streets of Washington and other US cities, are rallies praising Hamas and Hizbollah, supporting Ahmadinejad of Iran and his nuclear weapons pursuits, calling for the destruction of Israel and of the Jews and encouraging the bombing of the UK and the USA--these protests take place ON AMERICAN, BRITISH AND EUROPEAN LAND--The audacity. And the stupidity of the European and American authorities which allow these gatherings to take place; however, these values and rights--the rights of free speech and freedom of assembly--are an integral part of our democratic way of life and the cornerstone of western civilization.

I don't mean to go on and on. Many of my friends and family just wish that I would join the ranks of the indifferent and SHUT UP ALREADY.

I identify with those who want peace on earth. I have two girls and another one on the way. I love my family and I just want to live in peace. Only the Messiah can bring real peace and the end to conflict, war and human suffering. We all long for his return. Jesus said:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,  for my sake. 

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Holocaust Remembrance Day

By Dionysis Theodorou

Today, as we remember the more than six million Jews that were helplessly murdered during the Second World War, let us also remember that the perpetrators of this heinous crime had been declaring their purpose long before it transpired.

Mein Kampf was first published in 1925, long before its author came to power and years before any concentration camps and gas chambers had been built. In Mein Kampf, or My Struggle, Adolf Hitler expressed his hatred for the Jewish nation and outlined plans for the total extermination of the Jews from Europe and from the world. 

His warnings were all but ignored by world leaders. The tragedy that followed could have been minimised had Hitler been taken at his word and had strict and united measures been taken against him by world leaders. Instead, indifference and denial reigned supreme.

It is interesting that Winston Churchill called Mein Kampf "the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message." Today, Islamist followers of the Koran promise a much greater holocaust aimed first at America and Israel and then at all unbelievers, or infidels, as we are called.

The word Jihad means struggle. In the introduction to the Koran it is stated that "Islam is the willing submission to Allah and the active attainment of peace through conflict." The conflict is global terrorism and the infiltration of our society by Islamists with the declared goal of destroying America and Israel and establishing a global Islamic State under Islamic Shariah law. President Ahmadinejad of Iran is quickly moving forward in his pursuit of nuclear weapons and he proudly claims that he will use them against America, Israel and the unbelievers.

Islamic culture is different than our western Judeo-Christian culture. Children in Islamic nations are taught to love and glorify death as much as we love life. Mutual Assured Destruction, which was a deterrent against the use of nuclear weapons during the cold war, is actually an incentive for Islamists. They want to create chaos and wash the world in blood, because according to their writings, to which they faithfully adhere, the Islamic messiah will only come during a time of unprecedented destruction, chaos and bloodshed. Ahmadinejad starts every speech by asking Allah to hasten the return of the twelfth Imam, the Islamic messiah. He believes that he and the Islamic Republic of Iran have a prophetic duty to create the necessary circumstances for the ushering in of the twelfth imam and a time of world peace under Islam.

The world is in denial. People are not paying attention. People are indifferent, not interested. 

Can we do anything to stop the unfolding of events predicted thousands of years ago in the Bible? We cannot. We can, nevertheless, be informed so that we can have an educated opinion to express when we are asked about the state of the world.

We should remember who the violent ones are. We should know who is on the offens​ive. We should stand against terror. We should speak out against cold blooded fanatical Islamists who explode bombs attached to their bodies in public places destroying innocent lives and ruining families. We should express our disgust for those who slaughter children while they sleep in their beds displaying their love of death and pure hate for life. We should know the difference between good and evil.

Israel is on the frontlines of this war defending her existence, protecting our freedoms, suffering persecution, defamation, death at the hands of Islamic extremists and teaching the world how to do the same.

We should stand for the love of life, liberty and freedom. We should stand for the Judeo-Christian values on which our society and culture is built. We should stand with the families of over six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust while the world stood idly by. We should stand with Israel. We should say NEVER AGAIN.

The same people that threaten to destroy Israel and the Jews today are the same people that deny that the Holocaust ever happened--even though they contributed to the Holocaust.

Don't be indifferent.

Don't stand aloof.

Whose side are you on?

The Goldstone Report

​Richard Goldstone stated for the record that Israel did not intentionally target civilians in the defensive operation in Gaza in 2009. “If I had known then what I know now,” he wrote, “the Goldstone Report would have been a different document.” 

Judge Goldstone, don't you think that you should have done proper research FIRST before writing your report and condemning Israel before the international community? Your report created a political storm for Israel and now you are apologising? What a farce.

Better late than never I guess. Let's hope that in the future the UN and their pundits will have a less biased approach when handling issues concerning Israel. Although, there's a fat chance of that happening.

A Brief History of the Israeli-Arab Conflict

A Brief History of the Israeli-Arab Conflict

by Dionysis Theodorou January 30th 2011

Many have an opinion regarding the Israeli-Arab conflict and this opinion is formed by the international media which generally paints Israel as the aggressor. Opinions are not formed based on knowledge or even on an interest in the conflict. A genuine and unbiased interest in the conflict would provide the incentive for research which would form a more accurate, educated opinion.

Presenting Israel as the aggressor is not a new strategy. I have seen news reports from the early 1950s in which the reports fail to mention the murder of Jewish women and children by local Arabs instead preferring to focus on the Arab casualties following the Israeli response. The impression was given that Israel attacked without provocation.

Casualties from Israeli defense operations are also exagerated and distorted to further incriminate Israel and to enrage the Arab population against Israel. Today, these tactics are used to turn international public opinion against Israel. By the time research has revealed the true facts it is too late: the damage has been done.

In an early example of this, from 1947, just before the war of Independence, Israeli retaliation to Arab infiltrators who murdered innocent Israeli civilians, was purposely exagerated by the Arab leadership of the time to quicken the response of the regular Arab armies of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq.

The false reports on the radio of rape and massacre by the Israelis caused the flight of hundreds of thousands of terrified Arabs from their homes. Arab survivors of the village where the attack took place who testified against the reports were silenced. The Arab leaders later admitted that the false report tactic had been a tragic mistake.

The armies of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq attacked Israel on May 15th 1948, the day after David Ben Gurion declared the establishment of the Jewish State.

The Arab nations have never come to terms with Israel's presense in the Middle East. Israel has had a continuous presense in the land for almost 3500 years and a connection to the land going back 4000 years.

There was no violent invasion and conquest of the land by the Jewish people in the late 1800s when they began returning to their land.

The people of Israel started moving back to the land from which they were exiled by the Romans almost 2000 years ago. In exile, anti-semitism, pogroms and fierce persecution, crusades and inquisitions culminated in the Holocaust which claimed over 6 million Jewish lives. Anti-semitism and persecution of Jewish people still continues the world over.

The constant prayer of the Jewish people throughout 2000 years of exile has been: Next year in Jerusalem--The return to the homeland.

Nation building started in the late 1800s with agricultural communities sprouting up, draining marshes and swamps and developing modern irrigation techniques that would make the deserts bloom. The standard of living for the local Arabs improved, infant mortality rates dropped and life expectancy increased.

The local Arabs supported by the surrounding Arab nations did not want the Jewish people to live in the land and they instigated violence in the most horrific ways. The killings were indiscriminate: without warning they would murder families in agricultural communities and in the newly built cities in an attempt to scare the Jews away.

The Jews had nowhere to go. Europe was on the brink of war. Those who could, fled to the land of Israel for refuge. Those who remained in Europe would be almost completely annihilated. The world Jewish population before the war was around 18 million. Six million were murdered. The world Jewish population today is around 14 million.

The Arab world has not really changed its policy towards Israel since 1948 when the state was established and immediately attacked by five Arab armies. The Arabs have planned and executed war after war after war with the expressed and desired goal of wiping Israel off the map and throwing the Jews into the sea.

Read up on the War of Independence, 1948, The Sinai War of 1956, The Six Day War of 1967, The War of Attrition of 1968-1970 and The Yom Kippur War of 1973. Investigate the reasons behind the war in Lebanon in 1982, the reasons behind the Gulf War in 1991 and the non-stop violence in between the wars that continues to this day.

If it weren't for courageous leaders like Anwar Sadat of Egypt and King Hussein of Jordan there would be no peace between Israel and those two countries. Anwar Saddat was assassinated for making peace with Israel.

Egypt today is on the verge of a revolution that could overthrow president Mubarak and bring Islamic radicals into power. Hizbollah finally has a grip on the government of Lebanon. Tunisia has overthrown their leader and Jordan may follow suit. Iran is developing a nuclear bomb and threatens to destroy Israel, promising to finish the job the Arabs started in 1948.

The pot is boiling and is about to overflow. The protests alone have caused many deaths and we can only expect an escalation in violence and more deaths and instability. The Arab governments cannot control their own people. They murder each other for pride, honour, power and religion.

Israel has peace within its borders. The Jewish people want secure borders. Israel has no religious agenda related to the land. Israel does not want more territory; however, the more you distance your enemy from your borders, the safer your population is.

As Golda Meir wisely said: "When the Arabs love their children more than they hate us, there will be peace."

And as Benjamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, said a few years ago: "If the Arabs put down their weapons there will be no war; If the Jews put down their weapons there will be no Israel."
