 Disturbing: Orthodox Union Makes Trouble for Israel Over Key Issue

See  here  for a discussion of the traditional firm Orthodox Jewish stance against Palestinian state: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/140841  
   
Unfortunately, an American Jewish organization, the OU, with close ties with the Obama administration http://blogs.jta.org/politics/article/2009/04/06/1004289/diament-ratzan-named-to-obamas-faith-based-council, has just switched sides and begun advocating for Palestinian state while disregarding the entrapment inherent in that plan for Israel. See 3rd paragraph from bottom ("We support a two-state solution") in: http://www.ou.org/public_affairs/weblog_single/77552 
 
Even when apparently asked point-blank by dismayed former supporters to clarify that it does not support Palestinian state, OU continued to waffle: http://www.ou.org/public_affairs/weblog_single/77843
 
Kindly consider contacting the OU to protest this. Example letter (if you don't enjoy writing your own):
 
Dear OU Management,
It is unthinkable to me that an Orthodox Jewish organization should support Palestinian state. This notion means an additional hostile, anti-Semitic Arab-Moslem state immediately overlooking Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Israel's sole international airport. It also exposes the Jewish people as a population willing to give away forever, crucial assets to which they are far more entitled than the Palestinians are. This is an extremely damaging image to have, considering the many powerful enemies who constantly aspire to test  the Jewish people's resolve. Sincerely, (name)

Please feel free to pass this letter on to other friends of Israel and particularly Orthodox American Jews. If you receive a response from the OU managers, kindly forward to us4israel@gmail.com. 
 
 
Thanks for helping Israel.

US CONGRESSIONAL LEADER WORKING TO PREVENT ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW PALESTINIAN TERROR STATE

 

Netanyahu met with US House Minority Leader Eric Cantor for more than an hour. Cantor, a Virginia Republican, is expected to become majority leader in January.... Cantor told Netanyahu that ... "the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States, and that the security of each nation is reliant upon the other," according to a statement put out by Cantor's office....Cantor also urged the White House to "make it absolutely clear that the US will veto any effort by the Palestinians" to have the UN unilaterally declare a Palestinian state."

Kindly consider calling Mr. Cantor and thanking him for working courageously to prevent establishment of a new Palestinian terror state.

Just as important, please forward this email to anyone you know in Virginia since her or his opinion will be particularly important to Mr. Cantor.
