Israel: Address This Problem–And Do So Quickly…

An article by Tsvi Ben Gedalyahu in February 26th’s Israel National News spoke of a new intifada erupting throughout much of Israel proper, within the so-called “Green (’49 armistice) Lines.”
Not wanting to invite its own “Arab Spring,” Israel’s leaders have evidently opted to allow such widespread, violent Arab attacks against both Jewish lives and property to go on, mostly unchallenged.

Big mistake. Israel’s situation is light years different from its surrounding neighbors.

Despite some grievances (who in Israel–or anywhere–doesn’t have some?), the Arabs of Israel are the freest anywhere outside of the West. Their major complaint is the very existence of the Jewish State…Sorry, no apologies for this.

With the region erupting, imploding and exploding, the uncertainty of the devils unkown replacing those known throughout the neighborhood is of course a great concern.

Yet, despite this, there is perhaps an even greater problem facing Israel today–one which it actually has a great degree of control of, if it will only act

Re: “Stand Up for Israel, President Skorton” Opinion, Feb. 20

In a recent opinion piece [2], Judah Bellin ’12 criticized the initiative of Cornell Students for Justice in Palestine to oppose the collaboration with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. The column claims that the motivation behind our petition opposing the Cornell-Technion collaboration is simple: We wish to “delegitimize Israel.” We reject that accusation as a smokescreen meant to obscure the core issues.

The key question is whether the Israeli military is carrying out war crimes and a belligerent occupation. The answer is simply yes. However, the article changes the question and moves straight to what it considers the main absurdity of our position: that by opposing defensive measures as “basic” as improved tank armor and the separation barrier, we are against Israel itself. But of course, tank armor is not meant simply to protect soldiers, but to protect them as they engage in violence toward others.

Documents Show NYPD Surveyed L.I. Jewish-Owned Businesses In Anti-Terror Effort

Ben’s Kosher Deli, Great Neck, Great Neck Glat, Nassau County, Rep. Peter King, Tony Aiello

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The search for radical terrorists took the NYPD to kosher butchers and candy stores on Long Island.

Friday night, CBS 2 learned Jewish-owned businesses were put under surveillance, along with mosques and businesses that cater to Muslims.

The NYPD is under fire from critics for putting mosques and Muslim facilities under surveillance. On Thursday, Rep. Peter King offered this response: “If you’re going after radical Muslims, you don’t go to Ben’s Kosher Deli.”

But what about Great Neck Glat, a kosher meat shop, which proudly flies the flag of Israel inside?

Secret documents obtained by the Associated Press show Great Neck Glat is one of almost a dozen Jewish-owned businesses the NYPD surveyed in Nassau County.

The anti-terror effort was focused there because many in the Great Neck Jewish community trace their roots back to Iran, CBS 2′s Tony Aiello reported.

02/21/12 Z STREET’s claim that the IRS engaged in unconstitutional behavior by subjecting our application for tax-exempt status to special scrutiny and consideration of whether our positions on various issues relating to Israel are “contradictory to those of the Administration” has been recognized by a Pennsylvania federal district court as properly raised in the Complaint we filed there on August 25, 2010. Over the past 18 months the IRS has repeatedly insisted that our complaint was one merely about the granting or denial of tax-exempt status and therefore barred from raising the claim when we did, where we did, and in the way we did. The opinion states: “The Court share’s Plaintiff’s view that this case is about [a] constitutionally valid process.”

Z STREET v. IRS has been transferred to the federal district court of the District of Columbia for further action.

We’ll let you know what happens next.
