Rabbis Want Palestinians Ethnically Cleansed From The West Bank And Gaza?

Rabbis to US Ambassador: Time to 'Go Biblical' with Arabs

By Gil Ronen

January 02, 2009 "IsraelNN" -- A delegation of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace (RCP) met with U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mr. James Cunningham, today and called for a reassessment of the entire U.S. policy vis-à-vis the Israelis and Palestinians. The rabbis told Ambassador Cunningham that it was time to try the Biblical approach to the dispute over the Land of Israel.

"The past 17 years have proven without a shadow of a doubt that every square inch ceded by Israel to the Palestinians was transformed into a platform of hatred and terrorism," RCP Director Rabbi Avrohom Shmuel Lewin told the ambassador. "In other words, the 'land for peace' formula in the Israel-Palestinian context, besides being a formula that goes against the Divine will, is ineffective, obsolete, and an exercise in futility. Most of all it is a dangerous policy that only leads to bloodshed and instability in the region and harms vital American interests in the region as well," Lewin said.

'Land for peace doesn't work'
The delegation was headed by Rabbi Joseph Gerlitzky, Chairman of the RCP, who is also the Rabbi Central Tel Aviv where the US embassy is located. Rabbi Gerlitzky presented the ambassador with the Halachic (Jewish legal) ruling signed by over 350 prominent rabbis in Israel that it is forbidden to give up even one inch of territory controlled by Israel today because it will bring bloodshed and instability to the region.

"In the name of the overwhelming majority of rabbis in Israel," he said, "we request of you Mr. Ambassador, to convey our Halachic message to President Barack Obama that it is time for a complete reversal and reassessment of U.S. policy in the Middle East. The 'land for peace' policy never worked and harms U.S. interests in the region and the world at large."

The ambassador was visibly moved by Rabbi Sholom Gold, a leading rabbi in Jerusalem, who described the suffering that the Jewish People have endured ever since the implementation of the Oslo Accords and the agreements that followed. "It's all a play of words, there is no peace process," he said. "From the day that we started conceding and withdrawing we did not have one day of rest and peace. Why should our enemies want to make peace with us when they see that with terrorism they get what they want? Even the U.S., Israel's supposedly best friend, sides with them in demanding a freeze and evacuation of settlements. Is the triumph of Arab terror one of American interests?" Gold asked.

Going Biblical
"Who knows, Mr. Ambassador, maybe this is your defining moment."

Rabbi Dov Lior, the Rabbi of Kiryat Arba-Hevron, said: "G-d gave the US the power and influence to affect the rest of the world and supporting Israel is the key to America's success."

Ambassador Cunningham told the rabbis that he does not see how the problem can be solved “without taking into consideration the Palestinians,” to which Rabbi Gold remarked: "Ever since we started taking the Palestinians into consideration the situation only worsened."

The ambassador asked the rabbis, "So what is your solution to the problem?"

Rabbi Gerlitzky replied: "You must switch the entire approach to the situation. We all believe in the Holy Bible and up until now we tried every formula except for that which is delineated in the Bible. Let's try it and who knows, Mr. Ambassador, maybe this is your defining moment, that G-d Almighty has placed you in this capacity in order to precipitate a new course which will bring a true peace to the entire region."

Ahmadinejad: West's claims of democracy "sheer lies"

TEHRAN, April 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Western countries' claims of democracy are "sheer lies," citing a recent anti-racism conference, the official IRNA news agency reported on Thursday.

    "The recent anti-racism conference in Geneva ...proved that the West's claims of freedom of expression and democracy were sheer lies," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

    "All their claims about freedom of expression are nothing ... they had made several plans to prevent speeches at the Geneva conference," he added.

    "Despite their cultural, economic and social dominance over the world, they are on the verge of collapse," he said.

    Ahmadinejad made the remarks during his visit to Shiraz, capital of Iran's southern province of Fars.

    On Monday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi criticized Western states for their intolerance at the Geneva conference.

    Western states were intolerant when hearing the similarities between racism and "Zionism" in the conference, Qashqavi said.

    Ahmadinejad's speech at Durban Review Conference on racism in Geneva on April 20 caused a turmoil and sparked walkout by dozens of European delegates.

    Addressing the UN conference, Ahmadinejad criticized the creation of a "totally racist government in occupied Palestine" in1948, calling it "the most cruel and racist regime." 

West's treatment with critics of Holocaust is shameful

Tehran, Oct 29, IRNA

Holocaust-Studies
Persecution, conviction and imprisonment of scientists and independent intellectuals are prevalent in the West, Secretary of World Foundation on Reviewing Holocaust Mohammad Ali Ramin said on Wednesday.

Ramin said arrest of Fredrick Gerald Toeben in early October 2008 in London airport for criticizing the nature and effects of Holocaust, has worried the world independent scholars and intellectuals.

Dr. Toeben is an independent researcher and thinker in the field of 'Contemporary History of Europe' and also is the member of 'International Fact-Finding Committee of Holocaust' and is the founder of 'World Foundation for Reviewing Holocaust' who believes just like others that Holocaust dossier should be re-examined and re-surveyed.

Who should be condemned? Don't you think that those who claim there has been mass killing and slaughter of six million Jews by Germans during the Second World War in Europe, should have at least appropriate documents to prove it? Or perhaps the researchers and those who make interrogation and inquiries should be condemned or punished?
