Media and Politics Aside, We're Losing the Galilee

MEDIA AND POLITICS ASIDE, WE'RE LOSING THE GALILEE
by Joel (Yosef Ben Tzion) Busner, Executive Director,

B'Ahavat Yisrael

Dear Supporters of a Jewish State of Israel,

Jewish and Democratic in the context of how weak

Jewish Leaders define the State
of Israel is an oxymoron.  The more vocal and

more violent the Arab population
behaves both in the liberated territories (West Bank)

or the massively disloyal
Arab citizens of the State, the more "rights" it receives.

Democratically, the Israeli Arabs as a group

work against the very State of
Israel that has given them a high standard of

living, freedom of speech that
they find nowhere else in the Middle East ,

their own institutions of prayer,
learning, etc.  They have access to Jewish 

funded hospitals, universities, etc. 
Yet, the more they get, the more they want. 

What is it that they want?  They
want the end of the Jewish State.  They say 

it more and more every day and they
say it with more conviction.  They are not

afraid to break the law and they know
they have the Israeli authorities completely 

intimidated.

Although scattered around the news from time to

time are articles about lands
being bought or commandeered by Israeli Arabs at

the cost of Jewish control and
ownership, the average supporter of Israel 

really doesn't get the picture of
what is going on.  The average person has been

brainwashed into believing that
all territories captured in 1967 do not belong 

to the Jews even though the Bible
and history say otherwise.  This has allowed the

Arabs of the territories to
illegally seize lands and build wherever and

whatever they want.  Most people

shrug and figure, "What can be done."  After all,

the Israeli government more or
less has already stated that all is negotiable.

Unfortunately, the Arabs while overall lacking

the technical genius of the Jews
have much better "street" instincts.  While you

are watching CNN and reading the
New York Times, especially the leftist diatribe 

like that of Leftist self hating
Jew Thomas Friedman, you will come away with a

picture of Israel being an
aggressive occupier.  Of course what Friedman 

and his ilk refuse to report or
even acknowledge is the real threat to our 

very existence as a Jewish State.

The Arabs of the Galilee (Israel's North) 

and of Israel's South have taken a
page out of the Palestinian playbook in Gaza

(Gush Katif) and Judea/Samaria
(West Bank).  They make a lot of children

(even though their birthrate is down
somewhat it is still high and higher than the Jewish one).

They vandalize and
rob from Jewish farmers and ranchers.  

They steal from Jewish shops in the
outlying less densely populated areas.  

They burn our forests (and it's
intentionally not reported).  The overall goal

of land takeover they learned
from the territories.  They build massive

amounts of houses and buildings
without permits, many on land they never even

purchased.  They do so in such
high volume that the under-staffed and over-fearful

land authorities are almost
powerless as for every 3 or 4 illegal structures

they take down, hundreds more
go up and remain.

In many cases farmers are harassed incessantly

until they abandon or sell the
land to their tormentors.  In other cases, 

families who no longer work in
agriculture are given extremely high offers 

by local Arabs who are financed by
foreign Arabs (such as wealthy Sheiks). 

These democratic Arabs are defacto
taking control over more and more areas in the

North and South.  Whole areas are
now too dangerous for Jews to travel.  

Police have admitted they have no control
in the large Arab population centers. 

The weak Israeli government's response in
the Negev is to now legalize dozens of 

illegal Bedouin villages and hand them
over land to the tune of thousands of acres. 

As a Jew who came to the Galilee
on her first visit to Israel asked me,

"And what will be left for the Jews?"

In no way am I condoning the abandonment of 

the liberated territories.  Besides
believing religiously that all of the Land 

of Israel was bequeathed to the
Jewish People by G-d, I know that the Arabs

are clearer in their beliefs than
the weak Jewish leadership.  They never did and

never will accept a Jewish State
of Israel of any size.  That is why giving up

land to mollify them has not and
will not work.  Each concession brings another 

concession and demands for more
concessions.  The question I like to ask fellow

Jews is: If Israel had lost the
North (Galilee) in 1948 and instead had won East

Jerusalem and Judea/Samaria,
what would we be calling the respective populations today? 

Of course, the
Galilee Arabs would be called Palestinians and 

the West Bank Arabs would be
called Israeli Arabs.  This is not only true but 

shows the absurdity of the
whole concept of "Jewish and Democratic State of Israel"'. 

Israel must be first
a Jewish State.  Democracy?  Perhaps for Jews;

but Western D

What are we asking you to do?  We are asking you

to get more involved.  Today we
still have a chance to change the direction of 

where this is heading.  There are
a lot of lands available for Jews worldwide to

purchase, especially vast
agricultural lands.  Stake your claim to the

Land of Israel .  Be a part of it. 
You can purchase and/or donate for lands to

be not only in Jewish hands but to
be worked exclusively by Jewish hands.  This

country was built by Jewish labor
and whether one becomes a doctor, lawyer, or 

high tech professional, all young
Jews can still do some old fashioned labor 

to ensure that the Galilee remains
Jewish.  And…for those who aren't destined

to be white collar workers, we've
designed a management system that allows for

better work conditions for Jewish
workers by working with smaller profit margins.  

The more land that is purchased
and worked by Jews the stronger the hold on the 

area is assured.  By owning land
in Israel you are part of the picture.  

I implore you, for you and your children and

their children, and for all of us.
