Hello,
Another week went by without
a Palestinian genocide bomber killing unarmed Israeli
civilians. This seems to indicate that fighting the
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Hamas and Arafat's terrorist groups,
such as the Al-Aksa brigades, does bring some peace and quiet to
Israeli civilians. Even though stepping up Israel's presence
in the West Bank might only be a short-term solution, it's sure
better than daily Palestinian genocide bombing
attacks.
Unfortunately, on July
4th, a Muslim Egyptian immigrant killed two Israelis, Victoria
Chen, a 25 year-old El Al clerk who was to be engaged the next day,
and Yakov Aminov, a 46 year-old father of 8, at Los Angeles' airport
in California.
Although the US and the FBI
refuse to call this a terrorist attack, the Muslim murderer was
armed with two handguns and a knife and specifically looked to kill
unarmed Israeli and Jewish civilians in front of El-Al's
counter. This was a politically motivated crime and the fact
that the Muslim killer was or wasn't part of the Islamic Jihad is
irrelevant.
The deliberate killing of
unarmed civilians for political motives is
terrorism.
Thanks for being interested in the facts,

Israel gave the
Palestinians an autonomy in 42% of the West Bank and Gaza after the
Oslo accords in the early 90's. Over 92% of Palestinians living in
the West Bank and Gaza were then under the administration of the
Palestinian Authority and its Chairman Yasser Arafat.
In October 2000, Arafat and the Palestinians rejected peace and an independent State of their own and decided
to kill as many unarmed Israeli civilians as possible. As of last week, after a series
of genocide bombings committed by the Palestinians, Israel has stepped up its military presence,
and all political gains the Palestinians might have achieved were lost.
President Bush
has called for a replacement of Arafat, whose hands are tainted with terrorism, and
the IDF (Israel's
Defense Forces, Israel's army) has now gone back to Area A (Palestinian area) - this
indicates the end of the Oslo agreements.
Since Israel moved back into Area A (Palestinian areas in the West Bank and Gaza) there has
not been one genocide bombing against unarmed Israeli civilians. This seems to indicate that
although a political solution is not possible (since Palestinians are not interested in peace),
we can certainly see a military solution - at least in the short term.

On March 21st 2002, Tzipi Shemesh, 29, of Jerusalem was one of three people
killed and 86 injured when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb, packed with metal
spikes and nails, in the center of a crowd of shoppers on King George Street in
Jerusalem
Tzipi Shemesh, 29, pregnant and mother of 2
murdered by a Palestinian genocide bomber
On Thursday afternoon, Tzipi, in her fifth month of pregnancy, went with her
husband Gadi for an ultrasound exam. On leaving the medical clinic, they passed
next to the terrorist who blew himself up. Tzipi was killed instantly; Gadi died
shortly afterwards in hospital.
Tzipi and Gadi met eight years ago through a common friend. They were married
in Jerusalem. About three months ago they moved to the Pisgat Ze'ev
neighborhood. According to relatives, they had a lot of plans for the future,
they loved each other and their two daughters.
Tzipi was an accountant at Akademon bookstore at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem.
Tzipi Shemesh was buried in the Mount Herzl military cemetery, alongside her
husband Gadi. They left behind their two daughters - Shoval (7) and Shahar (3).
May God bless her memory.

You Are Not Alone Israel
http://www.youarenotaloneisrael.org/
The "You Are Not Alone Israel" campaign was born out of the
frustration of many Jewish community members. A deep rooted desire to stand
together with each Israeli citizen coupled with an inability to find ways to
personally assist in responding to Israel's dilemma left any asking, "What can I
do to help?. What should I be doing?"
As "You Are Not Alone Israel" gains participants, the
goal is to take the campaign from the home to temple congregations, community
organizations and beyond to the state, nation and globally. You, as an
individual, or a group of people, can personally assist in planting a Forest of
support. Tie blue and white ribbons around a tree. Encourage friends and family
to do the same. Call upon you elected officials to rally support for Israel with
local public ribbon tying ceremonies. Your effort and diligence will be the
measure of success.
