Army Intelligence Chief, Aharon Ze'evi Farkash warned of Al-Qaeda's intentions toward Israel. He has stated that this global terror group has exploited holes in the Egypt-Gaza border to infiltrate Gaza. Al-Qaeda's presence in Gaza, in the name of "The Jihad Brigades in the Promised Land", has also been announced on Islamic websites known to be friendly to Osama Bin Laden's terrorist network. Al Qaeda is known to have a working relationship with Hamas.
Credit us with some intelligence, Ariel Sharon! Jews are being killed, not because they do not have advance warning of Arab attacks, but rather because your suicidal surrender policies of Jewish land have encouraged a renewed onslaught of terror.
There you have it, dear friends. Because Sharon gave parts of G-d's Promised Land to Israel's enemies, Gaza is quickly becoming the capital of international terrorism.
Are Sharon's policies dangerous only for Israel? Yesterday, Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad openly called for Israel to be "wiped off the map", and lashed out at Muslim nations which recognize the Jewish state.
"We should not settle for a piece of land," he said of Israel's pullout from the Gaza strip. "Anyone who signs a treaty which recognizes the entity of Israel means he has signed the surrender of the Muslim world," Ahmadinejad said, warning Muslim leaders who recognize Israel they "face the wrath of their own people."
"The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land," he thundered in a fiery speech on what he called an "historic war between the oppressor and the world of Islam".
"The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world," the Iranian President told a conference in Tehran entitled "The World without Zionism".
Who then is the "Oppressor" the Muslim leaders keep talking about? This is the term used by the Muslim World to refer to the "Great Satan", the United States. Israel, in Muslim eyes, is just the "Little Satan", the creation of the "Great Satan".
Get real, America!
It is important that President George W. Bush, the US State Department, and Condoleezza Rice finally realize that Israel must be allowed to defend itself and that it is counterproductive to pressure Israel to give up land to the Arab enemy. It is harmful to American interests if Israel is pressured to indiscriminately open up Gaza border crossings, which may be used by potential Arab terrorists. Pressure, as well, to provide a road from Gaza to the West Bank, thereby cutting Israel in half, would be sheer folly. In the wake of 9-11, would America allow a road from Mexico to Canada to bisect the United States, even though both of these nations are friendly to the US?
It is erroneous to say that the Muslims have never given us warning. On the contrary, America experienced Islamic terror on 9-11. Israel experiences Islamic terror virtually every day. We do not need any warnings. We need to recognize the destructive goal of Islamic terror.
We will be able to defeat Muslim worldwide terror, only when we realize that both Israel and America are considered the common enemy.
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
Ruth Matar

Women In Green - For Israel's Tomorrow
Exclusive video footage released by the ICU/ACA today, on
Christians Under Attack reveals the destruction of the Assemblies of God Church for Evangelical Copts in Moharam Bek, on Friday, Oct. 21.
Over 5,000 Muslims demonstrated outside of the Alexandria Coptic Orthodox Church last Friday to protest the production of a drama staged at the church two years ago. The protestors say the play blasphemes Islam. According to recent statements by the Coptic Church, however, the play does not defame Islam.
"Copts and other minorities in Egypt are continually subjected to physical and verbal harassment by extremist Muslim groups. Yet we do not destroy their houses of worship or call for bloodshed," said Amgad Zakhari, one of the youth leaders with the ICU/ACA.
In addition to the protests, the Egyptian newspaper, El Fagr, published threats made by Muslim radicals against the Coptic Pope Shenouda III. According to this report, Muslim radicals publicly announced their threats through mosques in the outskirts of the city of Alexandria and were calling for the death of the Pope in revenge for an alleged insult to Islam's prophet.
The ICU and the ACA are planning a demonstration in front of the UN next week to protest the persecution of Christians in Egypt.
Facts about the Palestinian lobby group (ATFP) which Yavin has chosen to work with.
*
Israel is blamed for 9-11: The American Task Force on Palestine lobbies against Israeli "conquests", a euphemism for Israeli presence beyond the 1967 cease-firelines, going so far as to blame this presence for the 9/11 terror attack at the World Trade Center ("The ill will directed at the United States by its perceived support for Israeli conquests ... has created serious security risks for our country, as demonstrated so horrifically on 9-11."
*
Israel is not on the map: Israel is not marked on at least one map appearing in the ATFP website (in contrast, so-called "Palestine", which is not a state, is marked); instead, Israel's entire land area is shaded brown on the map to indicate that Israel's land area is considered part of the Arab World (in contrast, Western Sahara, for example, is not shaded brown in the same map).
*
Violence OK while Israel remains east of Green Line: The ATFP's understanding of the Roadmap's "central feature" is "a simple quid pro quo: an end to Palestinian violence against Israelis in exchange for an end to Israeli settlement of Palestinian lands."
*
Veiled threats re renewed Arab boycott: "The Arab world: 2.2 Arab countries, 300 million people, $1.2 trillion. Palestinian statehood will ... open the door to a trillion dollar market.", the ATFP website promises. The flip side of this glowing conditional statement, however, is that failure to set up a Palestinian state might cause the United States to forfeit that trillion dollar market - a subtle ATFP threat that the Arab boycott might just return.
*
Fatal bus attacks by suicide bombers downgraded (compared to accidental deaths in combat areas): One day after a double suicide bombing in Beer-Sheva left 16 dead Israeli civilians including 10 women and a three year old child, the ATFP had this to say: "[Y]esterday's bombings ... along with the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian civilians over the course of the past several months... stand in the way of peaceful coexistence between the two peoples".
*
Lack of credibility: The ATFP does not give a source for the above claim that "hundreds of Palestinian civilians" were killed within a few months. We fact-checked and found that even the extreme left affiliated B'tselem organization puts the total number of Palestinians killed by the IDF in the months preceding the ATFP statement, including combatants, at a few hundred. B'tselem's website makes no claim whatever that this number includes substantial numbers of civilians (as opposed to combatants), as implied by the vague ATFP statement.
The Holocaust denyin', sweet-talkin' Arafatian in a suit and darlin' of the West, Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, came to visit Dubya and to demand yet more one-sided concessions from the Jews. He's got them on the run, ya know...Lebanon, Gaza and all that. Strike while the iron's hot (and the Jews can't seem to muster the backbone to do what must be done regardless of whose hypocritical feathers get ruffled)!
This coalition of Jewish-Zionist psychopaths, conspicuously eager to place blame on Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, were exposed for the loathsome liars and dreadful deceivers that they are by bin Laden himself! In an interview with the Pakistani daily
Ummat, published in Karachi on September 28, 2001, bin Laden categorically denied having anything to do with the 9/11 attacks. He went on to allege that elements within Israel, American Jewry and their pro-Zionist helpers in the U.S. “shadow government” were the true culprits, and intimated that the Jews rule America using it as a proxy force to make slaves out of nations that are not subservient to Zionism and the Jewish financial elite. Here are a few excerpts from the interview:
Ummat: You have been accused of involvement in the attacks in New York and Washington. What do you want to say about this? If you are not involved, who might be?
Osama bin Laden: … I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people.
… Such a practice is forbidden ever in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children, and common people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.
The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the US system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive. …Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him.
Then there are intelligence agencies in the US, which require billions of dollars worth of funds from the Congress and the government every year. This funding issue was not a big problem till the existence of the former Soviet Union but after that the budget of these agencies has been in danger.
They needed an enemy. So, they first started propaganda against Usamah and Taleban and then this incident happened. You see, the Bush administration approved a budget of 40bn dollars. Where will this huge amount go? It will be provided to the same agencies, which need huge funds and want to exert their importance. Now they will spend the money for their expansion and for increasing their importance.
I will give you an example. Drug smugglers from all over the world are in contact with the US secret agencies. These agencies do not want to eradicate narcotics cultivation and trafficking because their importance will be diminished. The people in the US Drug Enforcement Department are encouraging drug trade so that they could show performance and get millions of dollars worth of budget. General Noriega was made a drug baron by the CIA and, in need, he was made a scapegoat. In the same way, whether it is President Bush or any other US president, they cannot bring Israel to justice for its human rights abuses or to hold it accountable for such crimes. What is this? Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United States? That secret government must be asked as to who made the attacks.
Ummat: The losses caused in the attacks in New York and Washington have proved that giving an economic blow to the US is not too difficult. US experts admit that a few more such attacks can bring down the American economy. Why is al-Qa’idah not targeting their economic pillars?
OBL: I have already said that we are not hostile to the United States. We are against the system, which makes other nations slaves of the United States, or forces them to mortgage their political and economic freedom. This system is totally in control of the American Jews, whose first priority is Israel, not the United States. It is simply that the American people are themselves the slaves of the Jews and are forced to live according to the principles and laws laid by them. So, the punishment should reach Israel. In fact, it is Israel, which is giving a blood bath to innocent Muslims and the US is not uttering a single word. (
