A week ago Israel celebrated its 62nd independence day the rebirth of the jewish people in their homeland, from day 1 Israel struggled and stood up to its enemies, we have fought tough wars, we have sacrificed our best men and women, and we have showed time and time that our will and unity can overcome and win . but never were we faced by a war of friendly fire.
In a New York Times commentary on Tuesday, Israel’s Independence Day, Mr. Indyk wrote that “the shift in America’s Middle East interests means that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu must make a choice: Take on the President of the United States, or take on his [own] right wing.”
I say to Martin Indyk:
Chill baby, chill!
Netanyahu will make the “right choice” for Israel, the people of Israel voted in the ballot booth for this government run by the likud with a coalition of the right wing zoinist parties, this is the will of the Israeli people, you can squeeze and press but you will not be able to kill the will of the Israeli electorate.
The elected government of Israel made it clear from the first day… we want peace, we will do everything to revive the peace process and resume peace talk with the Palestinians, and we will be ready to negotiate all issues regarding the conflict, in order to end this conflict with secured borders and recognition of our existence.
These promises were met by actions, but were met by rejection of the Palestinians our partner for peace, with the help of the US administration the demands grew bigger and bigger, their greediness went up a step, and on every unprecedented positive move by the government, the Palestinians offered more unprecedented demands to halt the peace talks rather that get them back on track.
We were not expecting flowers or novel prizes for our gestures, but what we did not expect was the treatment and humiliation our Leader got from its ally the US administration, demands that brought out a volcano over the skies of Jerusalem.
Let me be very clear:
Israel is ready to make peace, but not appease
Israel is ready to make concessions but no confessions
Israel is ready to revive the peace process but also to survive
We will not give up on our sovereignty, and so will we not apologize for building in our capital…and we will stand firm on the right of the Jewish people to live in its promised land.
President Obama, for President Truman it took 11 minutes to issue a statement to recognize the Jewish state, but his words were met by action by standing to the right of the Jewish state, your warm words and encouraging promises need to be met by actions, and translated into reality, print your words not only speak them.
And to you American Jews, representatives in the house and friends of Israel, stand up for Israel, let your voice be heard, don’t hide under locked doors, and don’t mumble under your nose that Obama must change his attitude towards Israel and that Israel and the US bond is unbreakable, prove it!
As the American country music artist Aaron Tippin says in his song:
"you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name"
Stand up for Israel when it matters..
Stand up for Freedom...
Stand up for the Right of the Jewish people to live in its promised homeland.
