The mission of One Israel Fund is to provide essential security, emergency medical and humanitarian aid to the over 350,000 men, women and children living in YESHA (the communities of Judea and Samaria as well as the Jewish Communities formerly of Gush Katif including those communities left vulnerable by the evacuation such as Sderot, Ashkelon and others in the Western Negev Region).

It has been a busy few weeks…holidays, day trips, and back to bringing equipment and needs to our communities. I would like to report that all is quiet, but unfortunately this is not the case. A steady increase in incidents on the roads, attempted infiltrations, probes and sabotage continue to plague our people.

Our Tac Sight campaign has created new realities in the field, this wonderful piece of equipment, Made In Israel, has brought the level of security to new heights of operational efficiency. All of the communities have requested them. I am grateful and proud to say that this equipment has proven its worth many times over in foiling attempted infiltrations, who knows how many lives have been saved already because of the participants in this project. We have already supplied 10 of these and look to supply another 50 to our high risk areas. It is quite a challenge as each unit costs $13,000, but the return of saved lives is well worth it.

Bringing equipment, both Security and Medical are constants for One Israel Fund, and in the last week alone, we have supplied three Tac Sights – Portable Thermal Cameras for Infiltration prevention and detection, to Gush Etzion East – Nokdim, Tekoa and Sde Bar Bloc, to Yitzhar in the Shomron and Beit Chagai in the Southern Hevron region, with more, Gd willing, on the way.

Additional Security equipment has been supplied to the Security Patrols, Response Teams, and Security Chiefs including High Powered Search and Spot lights and more, all across Judea and Samaria. We are constantly working to maintain and improve upon what already exists, and supply what is missing and needed. Most people do not realize that it is the Security Chiefs and Security patrols that stop most infiltrations, and that is exactly the threat we are addressing, to prevent, to prevent, to prevent.Recently One Israel Fund finished the first round of additional training for the Security Chiefs and due to the need and requests from all Regional Security Chiefs we will be starting Round Two. The training sessions are focusing on the training needs that these Security personnel do not receive in order to protect their communities and themselves better. A week doesn’t pass without requests for continuing this valuable training.

Another “gap” we have been filling is supplying security equipment to the farmers and shepherds of Judea and Samaria.

These people do not merit the assistance of others that claim to be the answer to Arab criminals who destroy and steal livestock, and produce. One Israel Fund proudly stands with our farmers and shepherds throughout Judea and Samaria, and we do not view any “cease fire line” as being our limit to our work.

One Israel Fund has lately also been requested to assist in the training and equipping of the Emergency Response Teams. These first response teams are often the immediate answer to terror that has managed to penetrate the community’s defenses. Equipment ranging from Bullet Proof Vests, Communications, Tactical Lighting and Rescue are needed, the vests and equipment that exist are outdated and the “plates” no longer up to par. These requests are coming now from most of the communities and we will do our best to be able to fund and assist in preventing terror from infiltrating our communities.

I am a proud to report that One Israel Fund is refurbishing Armored Ambulances in Judea and Samaria. The first three, are already on the road from the Shomron and Binyamin with more on the way.

There is so much more to report, there is so much going on, thank Gd we are making headway and achieving much. We do this together as one, working together as one, that is the One Israel Fund way.

Islamist free-speech attacks given pass

Islamist free-speech attacks given pass
Supporters of Islamic political movement Hizb ut-Tahrir protest outside the U.S. Embassy in London against what they call an anti-Muslim film mocking the Prophet Mohammad in September. Islamists have mobilized protesters against free speech, saying freedom of expression does not include hurting religious feelings, and demanding the film be taken off YouTube. Photo Credit:AP

So there was no movie protest in Benghazi, but there was in London, England. To register their objections to the “film” (aka YouTube trailer) Innocence Of Muslims, ten thousand British Muslims besieged Google’s U.K. headquarters. They’re planning a Million Muslim March in Hyde Park in a few weeks’ time.

Speaking of free speech, ten thousand Muslims demanding censorship in London is far more disturbing than ten thousand Muslims doing the same in Lahore or Sana’a. When a private company finds itself with thousands of highly motivated protesters on its doorstep, it can take up the torch for a core principle of liberty – or it can opt for a quiet life. Following Obama’s prostrations before the UN and the Barack & Hillary apology ad on Pakistani TV, western Muslims have made a bet on which way the necessary distributors of free speech – the ISPs, the TV networks, the publishers – will jump. As Jonathan Turley wrote in in The Washington Post this weekend: “Shut Up And Play Nice.“

Obama policy puts damper on petroleum reserve

President Obama is campaigning as a champion of the oil boom he’s had nothing to do with, and even as his regulators try to stifle it. The latest example is the Interior Department’s decision to close off from drilling nearly half of the 23.5 million acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Read more…

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2217367/NHS-boss-faces-death-penalty-charges-torture-18-murders.html

One of Britain’s most important Muslim leaders – who has a senior role in the NHS – is to be charged with 18 murders by a war crimes tribunal in his native Bangladesh, investigators have told The Mail on Sunday.

Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin, who is director of Muslim Spiritual Care Provision in the NHS and is also a chairman of the Multi-Faith Group for Healthcare Chaplaincy, is accused of abducting, torturing and killing 18 journalists, academics and doctors during the bloody war of independence in Bangladesh in 1971.

Mr Mueen-Uddin, 63, who strongly denies the allegations, is believed to have fled Bangladesh shortly after the war ended, and has been living in London since the early Seventies.

The Rev Dr Peter Mullen is a priest of the Church of England and former Rector of St Michael, Cornhill and St Sepulchre-without-Newgate in the City of London. He has written for many publications including the Wall Street Journal.

Yesterday the Prime Minister said, “The international community must show courage to allow time for sanctions against Iran to work” – that is, to persuade the rulers of that country that there is no advantage to them in the project to develop nuclear weapons. But the history of the effectiveness of sanctions is not encouraging. In a series of local wars since 1945, sanctions have been applied against a number of states whose policies the so called “international community” has disapproved, but they almost always failed spectacularly to achieve the desired results: against, for example, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe and the Serbs’ massacre of Bosnians.

There are no grounds for believing that sanctions will achieve the desired aim concerning Iran. The historical record shows, in fact, that threats and sanctions are counterproductive for they encourage regimes to persevere in their disapproved policies. A baited bear becomes more aggressive, not less.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she takes responsibility for security at the American diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans died in an attack last month.

“I take responsibility,” Mrs. Clinton said in a recent interview in her office. “I’m the Secretary of State with 60,000-plus employees around the world. This is like a big family…It’s painful, absolutely painful.”

On Monday, in Lima, Peru, she also told television interviewers that she accepts the blame, adding that security at America’s diplomatic missions overseas is her job, not that of the White House.

Her comments come as Republicans, including presidential candidate Mitt Romney, criticize the Obama administration for its handling of the security before the attack by extremists and its explanations afterward.

She also spoke in advance of the second presidential debate, which will occur Tuesday night. Both security arrangements in Benghazi and the administration’s differing explanations of whether the attack was the result of mob violence caused by an anti-Muslim video or a calculated terrorist strike were the subject of disagreement in last week’s debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee.

At the debate, Mr. Biden said the White House wasn’t aware of requests for additional security at diplomatic installations in Libya, an account that Mrs. Clinton’s remarks appear to confirm.

In her comments to CNN in Peru, Mrs. Clinton said President Barack Obama and Mr. Biden weren’t involved in security decisions at the consulate in Benghazi. “I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha,” she said.

WHAT COULD THEY HAVE PROMISED HER TO GET HER TO TAKE THE BLAME AND FALL?…..IT IS NOT LIKE THE CLINTONS TO BACK OFF AND BE SUBMISSIVE….RSK

As the White House blames State for Libya, the Secretary says little.

Hillary Clinton ducked questions Friday about what and when she knew about the nature of the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, and then she got the heck out of D.C. The Secretary of State, who flew to Peru Monday for a conference on women’s empowerment, is savvy enough to smell political trouble.

Throughout the fallout from Libya, she has taken a low profile. But this position is becoming increasingly untenable. The focus of Congressional attention and debate has shifted to her shop. Even as they defer to an internal investigation—whose conclusions won’t be out before Election Day—Joe Biden and the White House last week dumped responsibility for the security and intelligence failure that led to the assault on the Benghazi mission on the State Department and CIA. Does the Secretary care to comment?

On the day after the September 11 attacks, Mrs. Clinton stood alongside President Obama at the White House without speaking. When the Administration needed someone to appear on the Sunday morning talk shows the next weekend to discuss Libya, Mrs. Clinton was the natural choice. Yet she made no appearance and was replaced by U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice.

An early Obama supporter and candidate to replace Mrs. Clinton in a second term, Ms. Rice offered the now infamous view that the attacks were a “spontaneous reaction” to an anti-Islam YouTube video. For eight days after the assault, the Administration stuck to that story.

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder and president of True the Vote, a non-partisan movement to help citizens take a stand for free and fair elections.

FP: Catherine Engelbrecht, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

Let us begin with who True the Vote is.

Engelbrecht: Thanks Jamie.

True the Vote is a nonpartisan citizen-led initiative to protect the right to vote and the integrity of our election process.

FP: What does True the Vote do?

Engelbrecht: We educate fellow voters, review incoming voter registrations, research the veracity of existing voter registries, recruit and train election observers, and fully document our observations along the way so that findings can be used to constructively reform election code legislation in future election cycles.

We have for too long believed that the processes of our elections are up to the government. Like so many other things, we relinquished our responsibility to protect and defend our vote. The consequences of our civic siesta? Inaccurate voter registries, polling places without volunteers, a weakened process, and little political will to prosecute the perpetrators of election fraud. Rules matter. Our process matters. Belief that the results of our election reflect the will of the people is the underpinning of our entire republic.

FP: Why should people care?

Engelbrecht: The only way we will ever ensure free and fair elections is if citizens care enough to get involved and help support systems that protect the interests of every American voter.The Washington Post recently came out with a survey that showed more than 80% of Americans were concerned about election fraud. People know something isn’t right.

According to Pew Research, 1 in 8 voter registration records are incorrect, yet our Federal Government sues states who attempt to maintain their rolls. 70+% of our population support photo voter identification, yet our Federal Government fights tooth and nail to stop it at every turn.

In the last 18 months alone there have been prosecutions of voter fraud cases in 31 states, just in the past few months we’ve seen election integrity compromised in Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, to name a few. Our election process is vulnerable to corruption from beginning to end.

These vulnerabilities can be readily exploited by groups who subvert our systems to serve their purposes – and it will not stop until we stand up.
