For those who were involved in the fight for Gush Katif, congratulations on seeing past the lies and delusions that knocked out so many other Jews from fighting. Congratulations on not buying in to the claim that "Disengagement" will make Jews safer in Israel. Congratulations on not falling for the delusion that a pull-out like what happened in Gaza is a one-time thing. Which now brings us to the gut-wrenching present day...
The Israeli government is handing victory after victory to Hamas and their ilk. They withdraw, rewarding terrorists for their efforts; not just psychologically, but materially as well, as the historically Jewish land is given to them.This is a government that uses riot police, border police, and the army to evict and beat its own citizens from their homes with great fanfare, casting notions of rights and justice aside. And now, the Prime Minister seeks to secure the approval of President Bush to carry out more Jewish expulsions and giving over of land to Hamas (a Tehran-sponsored terrorist group), actions that totally undermine America's war on terror.
"All it takes for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing." We cannot afford to remain silent!
Therefore, there will be a huge rally held in DC to protest Olmert's policy of expulsions ("unilateral withdrawals"), at the same time the Israeli Prime Minister is meeting with President Bush at the White House -- 12 Noon, Tuesday, May 23rd. Our demonstration will accomplish three important goals:
1) Get our cause into mainstream American media;
2) Give strength to the brave Jewish fighters resisting the expulsions in Israel;
3) Show that the voice of American Jewry will not be hijacked by leftist organizations who claim to speak in our name.
Please bring your banners and posters with you.

Music for Lag B'Omer

If you have a radio with a good FM connection, check out the LPFM (no, I don't know what the "LP" stand for) radio station at 87.5FM. We discovered it quite by accident. You'll find non-stop Jewish music and there's never any talking. No clue who's doing these broadcasts, but enjoy! And at work, don't forget http://www.fivetownsradio.com and http://www.nachumsegal.com for 24/6 audio streams.

Have a great day!
