Documenting Israel
This is one of the best and most powerful letters to the world that you could ever read about Jews, Israel, the World and Jerusalem. Every few years I post this to remind everyone of these powerful words written by my friend Nadene Goldfoot's cousin named…
The only time you came to life was when the city was at last reunited. Then you wrung your hands and spoke loftily of 'justice' and need for the quality of turning the other cheek.
The truth- and you know it deep inside your gut – you would prefer the city to be destroyed rather than have it governed by Jews. No matter how diplomatically you phrase it, the age old prejudices seep out of every word.
If our return to the city has tied your theology in knots, perhaps you had better reexamine your catechisms. After what we have been through, we are not passively going to accommodate ourselves to the twisted idea that we are to suffer eternal homelessness until we accept your savior.
For the first time since the year 70, there is now complete religious freedom for all in Jerusalem. For the first time since the Romans put a torch to the Temple, everyone has equal rights (You prefer to have some more equal than others.) We loathe the sword- but it was you who forced us to take it up. We crave peace, but we are not going back to the peace of 1948 as you would like us to.
We are home. It has a lovely sound for a nation you have willed to wander over the face of the globe. We are not leaving. We are redeeming the pledge made by our forefathers:
Jerusalem is being rebuilt. 'Next year' and the year after, and after, and after, until the end of time- 'in Jerusalem '!"
Here is a little background on who this great man was.
Stanley was born in South Africa in 1914. In 1932 at the age of 18, he left his good life in South Africa to go to Palestine after hearing a Zionistic speech by Zeev Jabotinsky. He joined a kibbutz and not long after that he was deported because he was there illegally. He then joined the South African army and learned to shoot. After that he then returned to Palestine and joined the Lehi (Jewish militia).
He eventually become an intelligence officer for Lehi working with Yitzchak Shamir. After the State of Israel was formed, he moved to the US. He then returned to Israel and made Aliyah legally in 1956. In 1964 he decided to start a new English-language newspaper as he felt “The Jerusalem Post” had become too left-wing. He then established the Zionist English newspaper called "The Times of Israel" (not the left-wing one we have today) which eventually appeared on the streets of Israel, New York and the West Coast of the USA.
In 2006, he died in Jerusalem at the age of 92.
May his memory be a blessing!

2 fearless Jews approach a group of hostile Arabs in Huwarra where a terrorist murdered 2 Jews yesterday.
My kind of Jews, ones with big steel balls.
This is the only language they understand well
