Don't expel Jews from Gaza!

Sitting in Israel's center, such as Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, or inrepparttar comfort of other countries, they haverepparttar 149852 audacity, chutzpa, nay, malice, to determinerepparttar 149853 fate ofrepparttar 149854 most dedicated modern-time vanguards Israel has produced in recent times.

I hadrepparttar 149855 greatest privilege of visiting Gush Katif last month. I was honored to meetrepparttar 149856 diligent, tenacious, dedicated, ingenious and courageous people who live there.Every Israeli, every Jew, and all those who seek justice, Jewish or not, must be deeply proud and grateful for what these incredible people have created.

For all of you, my readers, I postedrepparttar 149857 photos I took during my visit. You will find them in:

What you will see isrepparttar 149858 wonderful hospitable family of Nissim and Nurit in Ganei Tal where I stayed. Their children Stav and Nadav. Their unbelievable greenhouses in which they producerepparttar 149859 best tomatoes ever, which they pack and ship to markets in Europe.

Pay attention torepparttar 149860 paradise these people created in what used to be nothing but Saharan sand dunes. You will seerepparttar 149861 prosperous communities,repparttar 149862 lawns, flowers andrepparttar 149863 trees miraculously grown by these industrious people.

You will also seerepparttar 149864 Memorial Day ceremony and exhibition in memory of those family members who were murdered by terrorist villains. Pay attention torepparttar 149865 concrete blocks erected to protectrepparttar 149866 people from Arab snipers.

There are 5 folders with total of 68 photos to flip through.

I hope my photos will add a dimension to your considerations. The eviction of these excellent people must be opposed with all legitimate means. Their fate is our fate and their fall is a victory for terror. If you love Israel, if you believe in Zionism, raise your voice. Help stoprepparttar 149867 injustice.

Dangerous ideas?

"We cannot tolerate a situation in which worshippers of all faiths are not allowed to pray on Temple Mount...The time is close, much closer than one thinks, when Jews will be able to pray on this holy site."

Now, it's past time for Israel to take note of these public pronouncements and LIFT THE UNJUST ENTRY BAN ON DAVID BEN-ARIEL for simply saying and writingrepparttar same thing (for years). The Israeli police truly know and understand thatrepparttar 149851 only security threat that came from my calls for this LONG OVERDUE JUSTICE were fromrepparttar 149852 same Muslims who threaten to defy any changes inrepparttar 149853 deplorable status quo uponrepparttar 149854 Temple Mount.

I've been blessed to have served as a lowly volunteer on eight kibbutzim throughoutrepparttar 149855 Promised Land of Israel. One of them was Kibbutz Sdot Yam, home torepparttar 149856 Hungarian-born Israeli heroine, Hannah Senesh. While there I read Hannah Senesh: Her Life and Diary, that included this interesting observation: "When anyone in Hungary spoke of Zionism five or even two years ago, Jewish public opinion condemned him as a traitor of Hungary, laughed at him, considered him a mad visionary, and under no circumstances heard him out."

Thank God thatrepparttar 149857 few Zionists were able to transcendrepparttar 149858 bitter criticism ofrepparttar 149859 short-sighted majority! Thank G-d that such "mad" visionaries saw their dream become a reality: a Jewish Homeland!

During my brief appearance before Israel's High Court,repparttar 149860 prosecution charged that I hold "dangerous ideas." I supposerepparttar 149861 short-sighted prosecution would banrepparttar 149862 Bible if he could since it containsrepparttar 149863 "dangerous ideas" that millions believe in! What are those "dangerous ideas?" Thatrepparttar 149864 Promised Land is promised to Israel and not to Ishmael; thatrepparttar 149865 Temple Mount must be restored asrepparttar 149866 TEMPLE Mount and respected as Judaism's holiest site; that Jerusalem isrepparttar 149867 eternal capital of Israel.

May Israel appreciate those who stand with them, who encourage them to be strong and overcome every obstacle, thatrepparttar 149868 "dangerous ideas" may be recognized as innocent IDEALS and embraced, that Israel may live and prosper!
