Jerusalem
---- April 23, 2010 . Thousands of American Jews and Christians
are expected to gather this Sunday at 1 PM outside of the Israel
Consulate, located at 800 Second Avenue (42nd Street & 2nd
Avenue) to protest US President Barack Obama scapegoating of Israel
and his increasingly hostile anti - Israel proposals and actions.
Numerous rabbis
and heads of Jewish and Christian organizations will also be present.
We are
outraged that President Obama is scapegoating Israel and wants
to expel Jews from their homes in their capital of Jerusalem.
President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton show more anger
about a Jewish family building a home in Jerusalem than Iran building
a nuclear bomb, said Beth Gilinsky, President of the Jewish
Action Alliance.
Vast
segments of the Jewish community will not tolerate the President
Obama continuing attacks on Israel. Grassroots Jewry will not
be silent.
Jewish and
Christian protesters will raise large signs that read: Jerusalem:
Israels United and Eternal Capital, Hillary
Clinton: Pressure Iran, Not Israel!, Obama: Stand
up for America, Stop Bowing to Saudi Kings!, and Obama:
Jews Will Not Be Silent.
A taped statement
by former US Congressman and three term New York City Mayor Ed
Koch, who has vigorously expressed his shock and displeasure with
President Obama hostility toward Israel, will be played to attendees.
Koch, a Democrat
who campaigned for Barack Obama, now sees Obama as a real threat
to Israel's existence saying that "Obama is throwing Israel
under the bus to appease radical Muslims".
Barack Obama
in suggesting that Islamic terror organizations such as Hamas
and Islamic Jihad place their rockets against Jews and Christians
in or near Jerusalem has done more to create solidarity between
right and left wing, religious and secular Jews than any other
US President.
The protest
rally against Obama is being sponsored by the Jewish Action Alliance,
an organization well known for activism and speaking out on issues
of Jewish security. The event will be MCd by radio talk
show host Steve Malzberg and columnist Rabbi Aryeh Spero.
It is endorsed
by AISH Center, Americans for a Safe Israel, Artists 4 Israel,
Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Christians and Jews United
for Israel, Coalition for Israel, Crown Heights Women for the
Security and Integrity of Israel; Dr. Joseph Frager, Jerusalem
Reclamation Project; Assemblyman Dov Hikind; IsraelAlive; Israel
Day Concert in the Park; Jewish Political Education Foundation;
Dr. Michael Ledeen of Center for Defense of Democracies; Unity
Coalition for Israel; Dr. Herbert London of The Hudson Institute;
AMCHA, Coalition for Jewish Concerns; Stand With Us; Endowment
for Middle East Truth; World Committee for the Land of Israel;
Zionist Organization of America; Israel News Agency, Z Street;
and many other Jewish, Christian and Hindu groups.
"We are
expecting a very substantial turnout of grassroots Jews as well
as many non-Jewish staunch friends of Israel on Sunday,"
says Gilinsky.
"Americans
and other world leaders are shocked by President Obama's reckless
and radical policies that they believe are endangering America,
Israel,and world freedom. Their voices of conscience - and deep
disappointment in President Obama - will be raised on Sunday at
this major protest rally.
"The
protesters will be calling on President Obama to stop disarming
America, stop undermining America's best friend and ally in the
Middle East, Israel, and to stand with Israel and America's friends
rather than appeasing Iran, dictators and Jihadists (advocates
of an Islamic Holy war against Jews and Christians as illustrated
by 9/11 and the London Bombings)."
"We believe
this will be an historic gathering of Jews and non-Jews to proclaim
that we never again will be silent."
"Those attending on Sunday will affirm the time honored concept
of a united and secure Jerusalem under Israel democratic sovereignty,
and to make our displeasure known regarding the deplorable manner
in which the White House has treated Israel Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and, in extension, the State of Israel."
"The thousands attending on Sunday will loudly express their
profound concern about the President Obama redefinition of terrorism
and de-linking of terrorism from radical Islam all of these
are dangerous concessions weakening our vigilance and imperiling
our safety."
"We have
been receiving numerous communications from the People of Israel
expressing how demoralized and abandoned the Jewish People in
Israel feel by the lack of any strong and meaningful statement
and vigorous, public demonstrations sponsored by any of the major
and established Jewish organizations in support of Israel's position
regarding Jerusalem," says Gilinsky.
"Many Israelis, and we, feel that the treatment of Israel
during the last several weeks by President Obama, Hillary Clinton,
and spokesmen for the Administration has been an unprecedented
attempt to humiliate the Jewish State and a willful isolation
of it among the community of nations. We are angry at this hostility
toward Israel, and will express our displeasure loud and clear
on Sunday."
"The rally-goers are alarmed at how the Obama Administration
has been making statements and taking measures that everyone knows
give license for the Arab population within Israel and on its
borders to renew intifada and rioting that will severely harm
the individual Israeli, as is already being done."
"Those attending the protest believe Obama is encouraging
other Western countries, as well as Arab countries, to treat Israel
as a diplomatic pariah and even question Israel's legitimacy as
a state itself. The Obama Administration will hear the disappointment
and anger of the Jewish Community."
"The protesters will affirm that the entire city of Jerusalem
must continue to be under Jewish sovereignty and is Israels
eternal, united capital, and that Jews not be specifically outlawed
from building and living in all of its neighborhoods."
"The large crowd expected to attend on Sunday are coming
to speak Truth to Power. We will not be silent."
"The protesters are troubled that recent news reports indicate
that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wish
to impose a solution on Israel or pressure Israel to surrender
to the Obama Clinton vision of how Israel should look. Their solution
may include the forfeiture of historic Jerusalem and internationalization
of holy sites by the Temple Mount and a law of return
for Moslems that would assuredly over time change the Jewish composition
and character of Israel. Such a solution is really a Final Solution."
In 2008 Barack
Obama, in a stunt to secure the Jewish vote, told the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee that if he was elected President,
"Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel and it must
remain undivided."
Today, Barack
Obama bows to Arab kings and is ready to place the rockets and
missiles of Islamic terror groups Hamas, al Qaeda and Islamic
Jihad in or near Jerusalem with no defensible Israeli borders.
