Received from SWC - sign and pass it on. More radical Palestinian behavior at the United Nations.

Sign the SWC petition to UNESCO's Director-General Protesting Vote Admitting 'Palestine" into UNESCO October 25, 2011

UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova    The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) General Conference opens today in Paris, where it is scheduled to vote to admit 'Palestine' as a member. Should it pass, US law mandates cutting off its $70 million contribution to UNESCO - 22% of the world body's total budget.  Should 'Palestine' become a UNESCO member, it will surely seek to leverage its membership to gain international support to erase the history of the Jewish people in Eretz Israel and seek to have holy sites, like the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Joseph's tomb in Nablus, Rachel's tomb in Bethlehem, and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, declared as wholly Palestinian heritage sites. While we are fully aware of UNESCO's important role in promoting many important educational and social programs across the globe, there is more at stake here than budgetary issues.   The Simon Wiesenthal Center, on behalf of its 400,000 constituent families, has informed UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova that we fully support the US move and other democracies that may consider similar actions.  The Palestinian gambit at UNESCO is but a stepping-stone of an ongoing heavy-handed political campaign at various UN agencies for a state whose leaders, led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, openly refuse to acknowledge Israel as a Jewish State and serially deny the 3,000 year connection of our people to the Holy Land.   We must not stand by silently! Please sign the SWC petition to UNESCO's Director-General and ask your family and friends to join us today!

Subject: Sign Petition to Keep Planner of Sbarro Terrorist Attack in Prison

 

 

From Arnold Roth, father of Malki, 15, murdered in the Sbarro terror attack in Jerusalem, 2001.

Please pass this heartfelt request along urgently to your contacts. It's a request to sign a petition, online here:
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-ahlam-tamimi-from-the-list-of-terrorists-to-be-f.html

Under normal circumstances, requests to sign a petition are unlikely to lead to any significant outcomes. In this case, we are hoping to do something important.

The petition asks for the removal of one specific name from the list of more than one thousand terrorists, including hundreds of convicted murderers, to be published by the government of Israel tomorrow, Sunday. That list is the basis of a transaction by which Israel will get back Gilad Shalit, held hostage by the terrorists of Hamas for more than five years. The deal involves Israel throwing open the gates of its top-security prisons and issuing wholesale pardons. My wife Frimet and I have expressed our principled objection to the deal. While others are busy trying to stop it in the courts, we are focusing our energies on one specific person, and getting her off the list.

Her name is Tamimi. An article in today's New York Times [ http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/15/world/middleeast/israel-prisoner-swap-touches-old-wounds.html

] provides some background:

 

Among those is Ahlam Tamimi, a 31-year-old woman who was a key figure in the pizzeria attack. She is often described as the driver of the car that brought the suicide bomber to the Sbarro restaurant and killed 15 people. But the Roths say her role went far beyond that, to the actual planning of the attack. In interviews from prison, Ms. Tamimi, who was a journalist, has told of having brought the suicide bomber to Jerusalem and then going on Palestinian television's afternoon broadcast to announce the news of the attack without acknowledging her involvement. "I'm not sorry for what I did," she told an Israeli news organization in 2006. "I will get out of prison, and I refuse to recog! nize Israel's existence. Discussions will only take place after Israel recognizes that this is Islamic land."

Even if you do not normally sign petitions, or pass them along to friends, we ask you to seriously consider signing this one. Once again, it's online here:
 להקליק כאן ולחתום http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-ahlam-tamimi-from-the-list-of-terrorists-to-be-f.html

Time is very limited. We really only have ONE DAY to get a significant number of signatures. If we succeed, we can then put pressure on the Prime Minister's Office and the Justice Ministry and publicize this in the media.

 

Thanks for helping Israel.
