Time for Ehud Barak to Go!

It is past time Mr. Prime Minister for you to send your dear friend on his way if he is unable or unwilling to fulfill the coalition position on Jews being bestowed with the necessary permits, allowances, and other legal requisites in order to keep their homes and even to purchase or build homes within Israel, all of Israel, both sides of the false border, the 1949 Armistice Line, the Green Line. If you are unwilling to dismiss Ehud Barak from the position of Defense Minister and also refuse to allow somebody else to be charged with handling these matters of ownership and residence for Jews in Judea and Samaria or anywhere else where Ehud Barak poses as the sole ruler of a fiefdom he intends to keep free from Jewish homes, then we must assume that you must agree with his obstructive actions. Is this the real problem that the leader of Likud is actually just another elitist who holds fast to the false belief that if Jews are just kept out of Judea and Samaria in order to gift the lands east of the Green Line for the Palestinian statehood and terror marshaling area. If that is the case, then perhaps it is time to choose a new leader before the next election. I would bet that the voters in the Likud primaries just held were under the impression that you supported Jews settling in Judea and Samaria. You say the words and put forth a pretense that you are fully behind the Likud Party position supporting those intrepid settlers who brave the perils in order to live in our ancestral lands, the heartland of the Israel of King David and King Solomon, the lands promised through Abraham through the ages to us today. Perhaps you have lost your faith and with it your Zionist mindset.

This latest kerfuffle is over whether fifteen Jewish families will be allowed to reside in the little apartment building they purchased legally right outside the Machpelah where Abraham already paid a premium price for the land and the cave itself. If Jews are forbidden by the government of Israel from living near the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron, then what gives Jews any right to Tel Aviv? Hevron was the first capital city under King David before he moved his seat to Jerusalem. Has the leadership of the Israeli government already decided to forfeit our Jewish heritage to the lands of Judea and Samaria and joined with those whose only real desire is the complete and total destruction of the Jewish State and then the Jewish People? If we are ever forced to choose between Jerusalem and Judea or Tel Aviv, may we have the presence of mind and faith to choose Judea and Jerusalem as they are the heart of our true ancestral home of Israel. The time is now to finally end this charade invented by the KGB known as the Palestinian people and their modern invention of a Palestinian homeland.

We need look no further back than to World War II and who served with the British in North Africa in what was named the Jerusalem Brigade. That was not the name of all Arab units; they were what were then called Palestinians, the Jews living within the Mandate Lands. When historical references are made to Palestinians living in the British Mandate or even under the Ottoman Empire, they were referencing the Jews living in the Levant. The Arabs were referred to as Syrian, Egyptian or by whatever country they had arrived from or just simply Arabs. They were not even referred to as Palestinian Arabs; Palestinian was solely used to describe the Jews living in the area. It is time to end this pretend farce and claim that which was our promised, no matter which treaty or conference you wish to refer. Be it the Balfour Declaration, the San Remo Conference, Article 22 of the League of Nations covenant drafted by Jan Smuts, the Council of Ten put it into Part I of the Treaty of Versailles; it became the Covenant or charter of the League of Nations; the cession of Ottoman sovereignty in the Article 95 of the Treaty of Sevres (as amended by the Treaty of Lausanne); and accepted as treaty by the United Nations in its Charter which denotes the full applicable intents of all agreements which had been made under the League of Nations would be transferred intact and accepted and enforced by the United Nations. Or we could simply ask anyone to explain exactly how it came to pass that Judea was to be considered as having nothing to do with the Jewish people and exactly where they believe the word Jew originated. But why should we ruin such worldly fun accusing the Jews of stealing Judea and Samaria from some country called Palestine. Exactly when did Israel take land from a country named Palestine anyways?
