Are Marwan Barghouti and Nelson Mandela Brothers in Goals?

Barghouti, age 43 in 2002,  being arrested by Israeli soldiers in Ramallah during Operation Defensive Shield in 2002 in Judea-Samaria.  
                                                         

Marwan Hatib Barghouti;now 66,  born 6 June 1959) is a Palestinian political leader possibly considered as the new leader in Gaza,  mentioned by Israel. An elected legislator and an advocate of a two-state solution with Israel, he has been imprisoned by Israel since 2002, the past 23 years.  Why was he there?

    Israeli soldiers in Ramallah;  IDF infantry and armor entered Ramallah on March 29

  Barghouti led street protests and diplomatic initiatives until the early Second Intifada, when he was captured, convicted, and imprisoned by Israel on charges of involvement in deadly attacks.  Ramallah was then placed under a tight curfew as soldiers conducted searches and made arrests. The IDF arrested more than 700 people, among them Marwan Barghouti, a top Palestinian militant leader suspected of directing numerous suicide bombings and other attacks against Israelis. Barghouti was later tried in Israel and sentenced to life imprisonment. The day after Marwan Barghouti's arrest, Ahmed Taleb Barghouti was arrested.

Barghouti declined to recognise the legitimacy of the court or enter a plea, but stated that he had no connection to the incidents for which he was convicted. An Inter-Parliamentary Union report (a UN based in Switzerland affair), considered probably by the UN as the most detailed independent review of the trial, found that Barghouti was not given a fair trial and questioned the quality of the evidence.  Of course;  they always blame Israel no matter what the problem is.  Well, I decline to recognize the legitimacy of the Inter-Parliamentary Union report on this basis of constant anti-Israelism/Semitism.  

The Second Intifada 'The Second Uprising' or WAR was a major uprising by Palestinians against Israel and its occupation from 2000. It started on September 28, 2000 and ended February 8, 2005-lasting 4 years, 4 months, 1 week and 4 days.  

Starting as a civilian uprising in Jerusalem and Israel proper, Israeli security responded  killing over 100 Palestinian protesters within the first few weeks. This led to the uprising devolving into a period of violence in Judea-Samaria and Israel. This violence, including shooting attacks, suicide bombings, and military operations continued until the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit of 2005, which ended hostilities.  Sharm El-Sheikh is a popular resort town located on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, on the coast of the Red Sea. It's a well-known destination for tourism, particularly for diving and eco-tourism due to its rich marine life and coral reefs.

Lasting for just over a month, it was the largest combat operation in the territory since the 1967 Arab–Israeli War.  The operation began with an Israeli incursion into Ramallah, where Yasser Arafat was placed under siege at his compound. This was followed by successive incursions into the six largest Judea-Samarian  cities and their surrounding localities. Israel's military moved into Tulkarm and Qalqilya on April 1, into Bethlehem on April 2, and into Jenin and Nablus on April 3, in cities that were Arab dominant.   From April 3 to 21, Israel enforced strict curfews on the Palestinian populace of Judea-Samaria and restricted movements of international personnel, including prohibiting entry to humanitarian and medical personnel and human rights monitors and journalists.

Marwan Hatib Barghouti - Ramallah

On April 14, 2002 an IDF force in Ramallah arrested Marwan Barghouti, head of the Fatah supreme committee in Judea-Samaria and leader of the military wing of the Al-Aqsa Brigades, which between September 2000 - April 2002 carried out thousands of terror attacks against Israel, including suicide bombings.        

1. Marwan Barghouti Served as Secretary General of Fatah in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, a member of the Palestinian legislature, head of the Tanzim, and the founder of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades which has carried out a large number of deadly terrorist attacks killing scores of Israelis and wounding hundreds.
    
2. In the framework of his activities, he has received large amounts of funds from different sources both inside and outside Israel. Among these sources is the Palestinian Authority. The specific allocations of these funds were authorized by the actual signature of Yassser Arafat. These funds were used by Marwan Barghouti to finance many activities carried out by terror cells in Judea-Samaria.
    
3. Marwan Barghouti served as the most senior official in the Al-Aqsa Brigades. Nasser Avis, who was recently captured in Samaria, and Ahmed Barghouti, who was Marwan Barghouti's personal assistant, reported directly to him. These two served as his operational officers and, under the initiative of Marwan Barghouti, launched dozens of attacks, including a large number of suicide bombings within Israel.
    
4. The following are some of the more heinous terror attacks for which Marwan Barghouti is responsible:

• Jun 12, 2001 - The murder of a Greek Orthodox monk on the road to Ma'ale Adumim.
• Jan 17, 2002 - The shooting attack during a bat mitzva celebration at a banquet hall in Hadera. Six Israelis were killed in this attack, 26 were injured.
• Jan 22, 2002 - The shooting spree on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem. Two Israelis were killed, 37 wounded.
• Feb 25, 2002 - The shooting attack in the Jerusalem residential neighborhood of Neve Ya'acov. One Israeli policewoman was killed, 9 Israelis were wounded.
• Feb 27, 2002 - The murder of an Israeli at a coffee factory in the Atarot industrial zone of Jerusalem.
• Feb 27, 2002 - The suicide attack perpetrated by Daryan Abu Aysha at the Maccabim checkpoint in which two policeman were injured.
• Mar 5, 2002 - The shooting spree at the Tel Aviv Seafood restaurant. Three Israelis were killed, 31 wounded.
• Mar 8, 2002 - A suicide terrorist was killed in Daheat el Barid as he was on his way to carry out an attack in Jerusalem.
• Mar 27, 2002 - The interception of an ambulance and the confiscation of an explosive belt which was being smuggled from Samaria into Barghouti's terrorist infrastructure in Ramallah.

Marwan Barghouti was also directly responsible for operating the terrorist cell of Raed Karmi in Tulkaram which carried out a series of deadly terrorist attacks.

        Commander in Chief of Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Karmi

Since the beginning of the  wave of Palestinian violence in October 2000, Karmi had been the leading member of a murderous Tanzim cell that was responsible for numerous shooting attacks in the Tulkarem area, in which both Israeli civilians and soldiers were killed and wounded.

In media interviews, Karmi had made it clear that he was determined to continue terrorist attacks against Israel and that he wanted to expand them. In a CNN interview on August 23, 2001, Karmi stated firmly: "We train the teenagers to carry out terrorist attacks inside Israeli territory.We train 17- and 18-year-olds to attack settlers, kidnap soldiers inside Israel." In other interviews, he also described his involvement in the kidnapping and murder of two Israeli restaurateurs in Tulkarem.

Raed Karmi acted directly under Marwan Bargouti, head of the Tanzim in Judea and Samaria and was under his direct supervision.

Madness Encompassing Many in Senseless Killings in Forecast

Nadene Goldfodot                                        

Brandon Roy, former Blazers of Portland, OR, Shot in front of
Grandmother's home in the leg in California

 As a senior citizen in the USA, I have been appalled at the senseless killings I am confronted with on the news I see on TV lately.  Every time I turn it on, the reporters are reporting another crazy killing of someone shooting others for apparently no reason.  It's always innocent people that have nothing to do with the shooter that gets killed.  They were just in the way.
                                                                         

I was talking about this just yesterday to my good friend and other grandmother of our shared grandson.  I said it was like there had been a virus or a gas let loose in the air and people are being affected and are going crazy.  Neither of us felt safe going anyplace anymore.  Too much has been happening.   So many shootings have been happening everywhere, but especially in places like Cleveland, Florida and Las Vegas.  What's going on?  Is it drugs?  The underachievers?  Lack of jobs?  Lack of parental control?  I wonder what is going on in places like Damascus, Syria where people are surrounded by rebels, soldiers, and ISIS?  Are Damascans dodging bullets?

Then this morning, what was the morning news?  Portland's former Blazer basketball star player, Brandon Roy was shot in California in an apparent gang shooting.  Brandon was an innocent bystander being it took place right in front of his grandmother's home and he was shielding some children and got shot in the leg.

All this anger, shown in shootings, politics, and problems taming Iran and North Korea have been forecast by people thousands of years ago in the 3 major religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  This outburst of behaviors has been expected.  It's the foretelling of the Messiah, an entity each religion sees differently, telling of a time each sees through their own ideas that are quite different from each other.  However, each wants and expects their own idea of what a Messiah is.
                                                                             

The Mount of Olives which is in Israel is prophesied in the book of Zechariah as the place where the Messiah will show up at the end of this age and before the new expected period will begin.  Zechariah said in 12: 2,3, "Behold, I am making Jerusalem a cup of poison for all the peoples all around;  also Judah will take part in the siege of Jerusalem.  It shall be on that day that I  will make Jerusalem for all the peoples a burdensome stone, all whose bearers become lacerated;  and all the nations of the world will gather against it.  On that day---the word of Hashem---I will strike every horse with confusion and its rider with madness. 
                                                                           

Jerusalem

 But I will open My eyes to the House of Judah."

For those that don't know.  Jews of today are the people of Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Jacob that has survived.  Remember that Israel, made up of 10 of the 12 tribes,  were taken away as slaves when the Assyrians attacked in 722-721 BCE and conquered Israel.   Judah, the most southern tribe, was not attacked as they held off the invaders.  They were the largest tribe.
                                                                           

Stabbings in Jerusalem by Palestinians

The UN has been thumping against Israel after voting her in twice as an accepted country of the world; the first time through the League of Nations;  2nd time being May 14, 1948 when it was officially through the UN, voted on and accepted after Israel's announcement of being formed as Israel once again.  Even today, after the Palestinians have continually attacked Israelis and express their plan of taking over the land of Israel, UN members insist on allowing them to create a state right alongside Israel.  It's as if they are doing everything in their power to allow the Palestinians the opportunity to meet their goal of getting rid of Israel and its 6 million Jews.  The Palestinians have been refusing to stop attacking and change their attitude, shown in everything they do from naming parks for murderers of Israelis to teaching such hatred in their schools and changing the maps to show Arab ownership instead of the Jewish.  They are manufacturing their own kind of history by denying that Jews were ever in the land.  Israel is asking that they stop acting like this before they are rewarded their own state on former Israeli land of Israel and Judah.  That was expected to happen many years ago and hasn't happened.  In fact, aggression always steps up against Israel.  The only change I see is that Syria and Iraq are no more the countries they were, but are being taken over by ISIS, an extremely violent group who cuts off people's heads with similar violent religious views.
                                                                 

In another piece of Jewish literature, the Yalkut Shimoni, we read the warning of a conflict in the Middle East involving the Arab nations and Persia-today's Iran. This is a midrashic collection relating to all the books of the Bible, compiled by Simeon Ha-Darshan presumably of Frankfort-on Main in the 13th century.  The work preserves many sections from Midrashim which are no longer extant.   This is amazing because it tells exactly what's happening today.  Iran has been repeatedly threatening Israel with atomic bombs being carried on their missiles and being destroyed.  Not only by missiles but Iran has been supplying the surrounding enemies of Israel with weapons just for this purpose.
                                                                         

The writings continue to say that the Persian conflict will cause Israel to be in fear.  This true statement is shown to have happened when Prime Minister Netanyahu flew to Washington DC and begged the Senate-those who respected him enough to attend, for the Democrats did not, to not give Iran the advantage in the Iran Deal that they were working on.  His fears have been ignored and the worst deal possible had been made, allowing Iran to most likely reach their goal within the next 10 years.  North Korea, who had helped Iran with the creation of their missiles, keeps testing theirs, hoping they will be able to reach the USA.

The Yalkut Shimoni prophecy leads to the final redemption through the coming of the Messiah king.
The term is originally Hebrew, pronounced as mashiah or moshiach.  It means the Anointed One, the ultimate deliverer.  It's in the Bible and used as an adjective referring to kings, etc. who have been anointed;  therefore one who has received divine sanction and a unique inviolability of status.  High priests were also anointed.  Jews see the moshiach as a man, a strong leader, general, king, president.  
Not all people are aware of the times we are living in.  So many do not believe anything written in any of the Old testament today.  They just consider it Old and not applicable.  Othodox Jews do and are aware of the period we are in.

According to other Jewish writings, the coming of the Messiah will be preceded by days of spiritual decline and trouble.  Rabbi Sokolovsky, in his book "Prophecy and Providence," quotes a number of passages from the Talmud speaking of times of distress during the Ikveta d'Meshicha (the heels of Messiah, the days before the coming of the Messiah).
                                                                       

"Tragedy will come upon you at the end of all the days."  Targum Yonathan.
"during the Ikveta d'Meshicha, insolence will abound.  The young will make the faces of the elderly grow ashen with shame;  the elderly will have to rise before the young;  sons will disgrace fathers;  daughters will rise up against their mothers;  the members of one's family will become his enemies."  Sotah 49b.  I've seen families divided over our latest Presidential election.  The failure of Hillary Clinton being elected has caused much hatred to erupt.  She was just interviewed and it was being shown on today's news.  She accepted responsibility but then blamed acts of others that caused people to not vote for her, which was originally brought about by her insisting on having own server in her home for email while the Secretary of State.  The domino theory of events took place after this was known that her world fell apart.  

Right now the world does seem to be falling apart in many avenues.  Drugs are no longer against the law but big business.  People have turned against Israel's existence.  Socialism is being accepted in a Democratic country.  Orange is the new black.  Alice in Wonderland fell down the hole and can't get out.  Everything is topsy turvy.    Even we seniors are prey to those trying to make a buck in an illegal way.  I hate to see life getting any worse.  We're ripe for the Moshiach to come along any time.

No Justice for Terrorist Victims in Judea in 2016

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                     

Dafna Meir, victim of terrorism

A Jewish mother of 6 children, Dafna Meir, was stabbed to death in her own home in front of 3 of her children in the  village of Otniel in Judea by Palestinian terrorists on January 17th, starting a rash of more stabbings of Jews in Judea-Samaria.  This was murder by any definition.  Her 17 year old, Renana,  was able to give the IDF and Shin Bet security force a description of the killer who was captured 2 days later.  It was 16 year old, Morrad Bader Abdullah,  who after stabbing their mother, had then watched movies. He had been hiding out in the Palestinian Arab town of Beit Amra, about 1.8 miles away  " located twelve kilometers southwest of Hebron.  The apple does not fall far from the tree. "Adais’s father said on Tuesday that he was “proud” of his son for carrying out the attack, the news site Walla quoted him as telling Palestinian media outlets. He also said that the soldiers who arrested his son interrogated all members of the family."
                                                                                         

Dafna Meir's children at her funeral

Why in Judea?  Judea is the southern part of ancient Israel which has now been labeled by Jordan as the West Bank.  This is the area that the Palestinians expect to take over and rename as Palestine. Since WWI's end, England had held the mandate for the region for 30 years.  When they left May 14, 1948, Jews living there declared the land as Israel once again which was decided after many meetings with the British and acceptance by the UN.  This acceptance by world order was challenged by the Arabs with a war that turned out to be Israel's War of Independence.  Palestinians have not accepted any peaceful decisions about becoming a state for the past 67 years, and have held their ground to want to drive Israelis into the sea instead.  Even after a gang attack of multiple Arab countries attacking Israel in 1967, with the result that Israel won that battle, have not deterred the Palestinians.  Now they are still trying to scare and drive Israelis out of the land.  Well, Jews were forced out of Israel-Judah in 70 CE with the Roman attack that burned down their Temple.  They're not about to ever leave again.  The land is an integral part of their religious beliefs.  It's even on a  higher level than Washington DC is to the Americans, or Paris is to the French.  The world evidently does not understand this connection.  It's where they were told to live by G-d.  
                                                                     

Meir Family before her death

Religious Jews are the ones who have been moving into Judea and Samaria since 1967, their ancient land that was not available to them before.  As if by the will of G-d, Israel won over an amazing attack on them that no gambler would have bet on.  Land that was theirs originally had been decided to be a part of Israel by the British, only to be given away by them to Abdullah, a royal prince without a nation to rule from Saudi Arabia, even though promised to be a part of the Jewish Homeland.  Then to have that Arab country make the false move of joining his compadres in attacking their good neighbor and losing this extra land was indeed a miracle in itself.  No one thought that the  Arabs still using the name of Palestinians, for Jews were also Palestinians before May 14, 1948, would want to settle down and maintain their own state.  They were an assortment of people who  had wandered in from surrounding Arab and non-Arab countries seeking work from Jews in the late 1800s.  To the Arab countries surrounding Israel, Jews were an anathama to them, Jews among Arabs, and this they could not tolerate!  The Palestinian Arabs were fodder for a fight, used as if pawns in a chess game to chase out the Jews.

Here we have Otniel, a village of 810 people of 130 families that is made up of very religious Jews, Orthodox who follow the rules of Judaism and know their ancient history.  They are thrilled to be living on land their forefathers had tread; lived and died on.  Their religion is coming to life for them by being here.  They are not people who were just suffering from religious persecution, but people who respect the land even more than others.  The problem lies in the rest of the world.  They do not see that Israelis should live in Judea and Samaria but must be saved for the Palestinians to make their own state-minus any Jews!!! They call Otniel an illegal settlement, not even giving it the right to be called a village or town.

  Even the USA, who is made up of many religions and people, thinks that a Palestine must be only Muslims.  After all, the fact that there are already 48 Muslim majority states in the world is not enough.  There must be the 49th for these belligerent people!  Nothing like bringing democracy to the area;  Israel is made up of 6 million Jews and 1.7 million Arabs, a smattering of Christians and others.  Even Bahia is in Israel.  Now, you go to Saudi Arabia and you will find only Muslims.  No Jews are allowed in Muslim countries.
                           
Otniel was established in 1983.  It lies in the southern Judaean Mountains, south of the famous city of Hebron, which itself is just 18 miles south of Jerusalem.  Everything is so close to each other in Israel.  It's a tiny state of 8,000 square miles.  It was in Hebron that Abraham bought from the Hebronites a plot of land, the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron, in which to bury Sarah, his wife and niece who had just died.  Joshua had assigned the city to Caleb, and it became a levitical city and a city of refuge.  King David reigned here first, before moving his capital to Jerusalem.  It's hard to study our Jewish history, read about Hebron and all that happened here and then know that the land is all belonging to Palestine and Jews are not allowed there.  This cannot happen.                                                      
                                                                             

In Otniel is a yeshiva, a religious school usually attended by future rabbis or others who will be experts in their history.  It is a hesder yeshiva headed by 2 rabbis which has an overseas program that attracts Jewish students from Australia and the USA.  The yeshiva itself was under attack in December 2002 when 4 students were killed and 10 wounded in a terrorist attack.  Then in November 21011, Rabbi Dan Martzbach was killed and 2 women wounded when an IDF patrol on alert for suspected terrorists fired on their car as they drove to the Cave of the Patriarchs to pray in the morning.
                                                                     

Shlomit Krigman, terrorist victim

This attack could have spurred on others.  8 days later on January 25th, Shlomit Krigman,23 years old ,  another woman but living in the older town of Beit Horon, was also stabbed to death by 2 Palestinian assailants.  Beit Horon is a town north of Otniel and much larger with a population in 2014 of 1,218.  It's also in Judea.    Started in December of 1977, it lies along the Route 443 between Modi[in and Jerusalem, which is the biblical pass of Beit Horon found in Joshua 10:10.  The population is a mix of secular and Orthodox Jews.  They have a religious elementary school that serves local children as well as those from surrounding villages.  There are also 3 nurseries and a kindergarten, 2 synagogues, a kollel, a mikvah for both women and men, and even a library. "Another woman, 58, was moderately injured in the attack, which took place outside a small market in Beit Horon.  Both attackers, one from nearby Beit Ur al-Tahta, and one from the Ramallah area, were shot and killed by a security guard.  .

                                                                                

Town of Beit Horon, Judea 

Krigman, who had previously served as a group leader for the Bnai Akiva Youth Group in Beit Horon, was spending time with her grandparents in the town when she was attacked, according to a message from the community sent out Tuesday morning.  She died later in Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.                           

On January 31st, urther north near Beit El in the Judea and Samaria district,  a Palestinian police officer went terrorist and shot and wounded 3 IDF soldiers at the Focus (checkpoint) leading to Ramallah.  The shooter was also "the driver of the Ramallah district attorney general as well."  He was shot and killed at the scene.  Beit El "Beit El is an Israeli town and local council is located in the Binyamin Region of Judea-Samaria. 

                                                                                 

Beit El

The Orthodox Jewish town is located in the hills north of Jerusalem, east of the Palestinian city of al-Bireh, adjacent to Ramallah. Beit El's  current population is 6,500 people.  It has grown from 2014 when there were 5,991.  This is where " Jacob slept and dreamt of the angels coming up and down a ladder (Genesis 28:19). 

 "In 1970, private Palestinian land of al-Bireh and Dura al-Qar was seized by military order for a military outpost and later on consigned to settlers for the purpose of civilian settlement." Remember, Israel had won the 1967 war and therefore got back land promised to them in the first place.  This was land needed for protection.  

"In 1977, Beit El was established on the "temporarily" requisitioned land. Seventeen families settled nearby the Israel Defense Forces base. Subsequently the community divided into two settlements. Beit El Aleph (Beit El A) was a residential religious community in the southern part of Beit El, populated by residents who worked in the free professions outside the yishuv. Beit El Bet (Beit El B) was settled on the northern hill around the yeshiva center, founded by Ya'akov Katz and Zalman Baruch Melamed,  partly by trespassing on private land and partly on land purchased by the Himnuta company (a subsidiary of JNF-KKL). It includes public buildings and civilian permanent homes and caravans." That was 37 years ago.

Israel disputes the illegal settlement charge on Jews in the (West Bank). " The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. The International Court of Justice advisory ruling (2004) concluded that events that came after the 1967 occupation of the West Bank by Israel, including the Jerusalem Law, Israel's peace treaty with Jordan and the Oslo Accords, did not change the status of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) as occupied territory with Israel as the occupying power."

  Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters on Wednesday barged into a public lecture by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat at San Francisco State University, shouting slogans and attempting to prevent him from speaking. "Anyone who thinks that calls for violence and incitement will be able to silence us or divert us from our position is mistaken," Barkat said. "We will continue to build, develop and strengthen the State of Israel and within it a united Jerusalem, and we will continue to voice our opinions and our legitimacy when we are invited to do so, even in places where they try to stop us."  (Jerusalem Post)
