- WORD FROM Y'ERUSHALAIM
April 9 2005 - PROPOSED "ROAD MAP"
On March 24 /05 Eliazar (a dear believing friend) called me from
his cell phone. He was on his way back to Jerusalem from Ashdod.
He called and said "Simantov you would not believe what
I am looking at here on the Highway coming out of Ashdod. There
is a convoy of American jeeps and military equipment that is
miles long. Coming into Israel." What is going on? My immediate
thought and answer was Eli, they are preparing for a war most
people in the world do not know is being planed. There is no
question G.W. Bush along with many other entities have been planning
and working on the division of Israel. They have called it "The
Road Map". B
- ut all indicators are that this "Road Map" is only
part of a plan of globalization. And the US government are bringing
in troops that will in-fact enforce its implementation. This
second such entry of foreign troops into Israel is quite frightening,
especially since the Israeli public have not been told about
this invasion of our land by foreign troops. Following is the
report from David who witnessed this same invasion yesterday.
God knows how many others have entered, and when their activities
will begin. Ariel Sharon leaves for a visit to G.W. Bush in Texas
on April 11/05. What will in-fact be the theme of their discussions?
I personally believe that both Mr. Bush president of the United
States and Ariel Sharon are planning something evil, and to the
detriment of Israel and the worlds peace.
- RED ALERT! AMERICAN COMBAT TROOPS IN NOW IN ISRAEL
By David 8 April 2005 - As a daily reader and a rare contributor
of the Fivedoves, I felt an obligation and duty to tell you about
a FIRST HAND experience of an incident that occurred yesterday
here in Eretz Israel. This is not a "word of mouth story"
or a grapevine rumor; we actually saw this - not 10 feet away
from our own eyes. We were out in the Negev desert and as we
approached the mountain pass to the Wilderness of Zin, I noticed
what I first thought was "a very long and bright green snake"
winding its way down another mountain road. By the time that
we arrived at the junction this "long green snake"
had become a huge combat army convoy that was passing in front
of our eyes not more than 10 feet away.
At first I marveled at the bright flashy new uniforms of the
soldiers, their brand new weapons and huge brand new transport
humvees all in new bright green forest camouflage that filed
past us at the junction. Mile after mile they slowly inched past
us. Nobody could enter the highway because of his or her multitude.
Then I began to think, hey, what's going on?
- We Israeli's, don't have flashy new equipment or uniforms
for our army and we cannot afford all the latest gadgets of war.
Then at closer scrutiny I noticed that the soldiers wore the
new "nazi" helmet of the American combat soldier. I
then noticed good ol' American boys: blacks, whites, Puerto Ricans,
sitting in the humvees. I then looked at the nametags on the
trucks and humvees and sure enough they were IDF (Israel Defense
Force) numbers and letters. Ocassionly an IDF jeep would pass
us in the convoy; older sand camouflage vehicles with real Israeli
soldiers in the jeeps.
In other words this convoy was trying to hide its real identity,
but stuck out like the proverbial sore thumb. This convoy contained
an enormous number of American soldiers and was carrying a very
heavy load and stretched for many miles across the desert. They
had no American Identity to the equipment, no American symbols
or names or emblems. Maybe they are here to help with the disengagement,
we don't know.
We have even heard rumors that German policemen with war-horses
(what a horrific irony if this is true) would be employed to
help remove the Jew from their homes. Pray for our tiny country
here, we are in the middle of a spiritual battle to actually
lose the Jewish homeland if Almighty God of our fathers does
not intervene.
- We have lost Gaza and Gush Katif, we have lost Judea and
the Galilee, we are losing the Negev and now it looks like all
of the Eastern Jerusalem is being planned to be returned to the
Arabs. We are now surrounded by enemies. I think of the
Psalm 3 of King David that even if we are surrounded by 10,000
of the enemy we will not be afraid, because God is with us. WE
all know the glorious end!
Shalom, Brother David [ uziel16@netvision.net.il ]

- 10,000 JEWS TO ASCEND TEMPLE MOUNT
- The visit, scheduled for April 10, would be the largest Jewish
presence at the Temple Mount since the ancient Temple period,
said Haivri.
The Mount is the area directly behind the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
It is the site of Judaism's first and second temples, the primary
area of worship for the Jewish faith and the location in which
Gods "shekhina," or presence, is thought by Jews to
reside. The area is about the size of 15 football stadiums.
- Christianity considers the area historically important. The
book of Luke records that Jesus, raised a devout Jew, was dedicated
in the Second Temple in accordance with the Laws of Moses, and
describes Jesus' boyhood visit to the Temple, which, it is written
in John, he cleansed at Passover and during the last week of
his life. Jesus once referred to the Temple as his "Father's
house."
- Although is not mentioned by name in the Quran, the Temple
Mount also is commonly identified by Muslims as the "furthermost
sanctuary," the site from which Muhammad, accompanied by
the angel Gabriel, made the Night Journey to the Throne of God.
- The Temple Mount was opened to the general public until September
2000, when the Palestinians started their intifada by throwing
stones at Jewish worshipers after then-candidate for prime minister
Ariel Sharon visited the area. Following the onset of violence,
the new Sharon government closed the Mount to non-Muslims, using
checkpoints to control all pedestrian traffic for fear of further
clashes with the Palestinians. Read on http://www.cephas-library.com/israel/israel_10.000_plan_to_ascend_temple_mount.html

- SHARON INTENDS TO EXPAND THE LARGEST JEWISH SETTLEMENT
- For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary April
5, 2005 President Meets with Cabinet Cabinet Room
- ...Q Mr. President, Prime Minister Sharon has said he intends
to expand the largest Jewish settlement in the West Bank. Other
officials say no construction is imminent. Are you satisfied?
And what will you tell Sharon when you see him about the settlements?
- THE PRESIDENT: Our position is very clear that the road map
is important, and the road map calls for no expansion of the
settlements. I'm optimistic we can achieve a peace in the Holy
Land. I'm optimistic because I firmly believe that Ariel Sharon
wants to have a peaceful partner, wants there to be a democracy
in the Palestinian Territories, and I believe President Abbas
wants the same thing. And there's a lot of hard work to be done,
but we're making progress. And I look forward to meeting the
Prime Minister in Crawford to continue to work with the parties
to advance peace. [ http://www.imra.org.il ]

US SAYS ISRAEL MUST GIVE UP NUKES
- HAARETZ By Amir Oren, Haaretz Correspondent
- The State Department Saturday called on Israel to forswear
nuclear weapons and accept international Atomic Energy Agency
safeguards on all nuclear activities. This is the second time
in about two weeks that officials in the Bush administration
are putting the nuclear weapons of Israel, India and Pakistan
on a par. The officials called on the three to act like Ukraine
and South Africa, which in the last decade renounced their nuclear
weapons. The similar phrasing used by the officials refers to
Israel's military nuclear capability, as distinct from "nuclear
option," which is to be rolled back, although not necessarily
in the "foreseeable future."
- The rare use of these terms contradicts the custom of senior
administration officials to avoid any possible confirming reference
to Israeli nuclear weapons. The officials, who hold middle-level
and lower ranks, are Jackie Wolcott Sanders, ambassador, Conference
on Disarmament and special representative of the president for
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and Mark Fitzpatrick,
acting deputy assistant secretary for nonproliferation. Sanders
was quoted Saturday in the State Department's Electronic Journal,
published ahead of the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review
conference scheduled in New York at the beginning of May. Read

- PALESTINIANS REV-UP ANTI-SEMITISM AND 'RESISTANCE' IN ANTI-'JUDAIZATION'
DRIVE
2005 Michael Widlanski [By permission to IMRA] - The Palestinian
National Authority (PA) used the "Land Day" Commemoration
yesterday (March 30) to increase the anti-Semitic aroma
of its "anti-Judaization" campaign against Israelis
and Jews. Official Palestinian media and top officials
of the PA and the PLO, both headed by Dr. Mahmoud Abbas, used
the occasion to warn that "Jerusalem is in danger"
from "extremist Jews" and "infidels" engaged
in high-level Israeli plots, including:
* --Conspiracies to destroy Islamic holy places;
* --Programs to flood Jerusalem with Jews;
* --Plans to buy Arab property secretly and to erase the Arab
presence in Jerusalem, the West Bank and "inside the
Green Line" (the official term used for real estate inside
the 1949 frontiers of Israel). "Jerusalem is danger, I tell
you," asserted PA Prime Minister Ahmad Qreia, waving his
hands energetically, repeatedly and almost frantically during
an interview. The film clip depicted Jerusalem-including the
Western side of the city-as a peaceful green oasis that has been
assaulted by invasions of
"non-believers" and "infidels," chiefly the
Israelis, in 1948 and 1967. The Israeli "occupations"
in 1948 and 1967 inside Jerusalem were depicted as
a spreading black stain overwhelming the pastoral green
of Arab-Islamic control.[3] (3 Green is the official
color of Islam, known as "Lawn al-Nabi," the
"color of the prophet.")

DR. IRVING MOSKOWITZ TO LEAD SOLIDARITY MISSION TO GAZA
Doctor To Lead Group Of Jewish American Leaders - April 4, 2005,
New York NY - Dr. Irving Moskowitz announced today he would lead
a mission to Israel from April 7th to 10th. The group will be
showing solidarity with the Jewish residents of Gush Katif to
observe Shabbat with them. Dr. Moskowitz said, "As Americans
and Jews we are concerned about the planned forcible removal
of thousands of law abiding citizens from their homes in Gush
Katif. Over a period of thirty years the Jewish people living
in communities in Gush Katif have established families, schools,
businesses, synagogues and cemeteries where their loved ones
are buried. Now they are under the threat of eviction because
they are Jews. All people of good conscience who believe in democratic
values should join us to show support and love to the residents
of these threatened communities." Participants will include
Rabbi Dr. Moshe Tendler of Yeshiva University. Rabbi Pesach Lerner
of The National Council of Young Israel, Morton Klein of ZOA,
Bunny Horowitz of Americans For a Safe Israel and numerous Rabbis
and Lay Leaders from across the United States. [

JEWS PLAN TO ASCEND THE TEMPLE MOUNT!
A plan to bring 10,000 Jews to the Temple Mount on April 10th,
"may result in violence", so said a senior member of
an Islamic group connected to Hamas. "Jews have no right
whatsoever to the Aqsa Mosque compounds and platform according
to our Islamic teachings, creed, history and heritage. Our group
is not responsible for what is going to happen if the scheduled
mass visit of Jews to the Mount takes place," said Dr. Hasan
Sanallah, a member of the Islamic Movement, a group involved
with Temple Mount Islamic activism. A Jewish organization called
Revava, has a mission to ''restore self-esteem to the state of
Israel by restoring national pride and values, and by bringing
10,000 Jews to the heavily restricted Temple Mount. They want
to reclaim the holy site from its Islamic custodians and allow
the Mount to be opened to Jews for prayer, which is now off-limits.
Members of the Islamic Movement plans to foil the Revava visit
by instructing followers to sleep in mosques starting April 8
to prevent Jews from ascending the Mount. Palestinians have placed
signs on their mosques throughout the Temple Mount area warning
of the mass Jewish ascent. The signs read: ''The Jews, who have
no historic claim to the [Temple Mount], are planning to storm
our holy site on April 10. We must not allow this to happen.''
"Jews have to rethink again and again where the Temple Mount
is located. They have to give account for the numerous contradictions
over the site location in their books. Therefore, regarding sovereignty,
Jews have no right over the Aqsa Mosque." Jews responded,
"Muslim leaders would do themselves a service by not mixing
fantasy with ideas of trying to switch history. The location
of the Temple Mount, built by King Solomon, has never been questioned
by any historic or archeological authority." [Source Hollis

- STATEMENT FROM VICE PRIME MINISTER SHIMON PERES ON PASSING
OF POPE JOHN PAUL II - Jill Marie Reinach Foreign Media Advisor
to Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres Sunday, 03 April, 2005 -
"I am extremely saddened by the death of Pope John Paul
II, and share in the deep bereavement and sorrow of the Catholic
leadership and people. "Pope John Paul II was a true spiritual
leader whose leadership extended beyond his traditional flock
and believers, embracing the entire human family. He imbued the
world not only with the spirit of greatness but also with a good
spirit.
- "The Pope embodied the best that is within all mankind
as well as the commonness of humanity. He united all of our hearts
through his actions and his courage. Wherever he went, Pope John
Paul II brought with him the gospels of love, hope and peace.
"Each time I met with the Pope, I was impressed by his unique
combination of historical perception and personal charisma. His
actions and statements transformed relations between the Catholic
and Jewish faiths and made a fundamental impact on the struggle
against anti Semitism. The Pope's visit to Holy Land inspired
our hearts. His recitation of prayer in a synagogue personally
touched us all. "We will remember Pope John Paul II as one
of the greatest spiritual leaders of the last century and into
the third millennium, who left his unique mark on history of
humankind."

- IAF TRAINS FOR BATTLE FOR BATTLE AGAINST EGYPTIAN, SYRIAN
and Saudi Air Forces
- Aaron Lerner - March 20, 2005
- While Israeli military analysts typically leave Saudi weapons
systems out of Arab-Israeli balance of power estimates, Israel
Television Channel 2 news revealed this evening that the Israel
Air Force (IAF) is forming a "Red Squadron" that will
mimic the Egyptian, Syrian and Saudi air force in training exercises
for the IAF forces involving mock battles.
- The Red Squadron pilots are fluent in Arabic and not only
fly per the doctrines of the Egyptian, Syrian and Saudi air forces
but also speak in Arabic over the radio as they engage in jamming
communications.
- Under the plan, twice a year Israel's skies will be divided
into "red" and "blue" zones for the mock
battles. [ http://www.imra.org.il ]

- DR. CONDOLEEZA RICE CREATES MORE CONFUSION / LETTER FROM
GW BUSH
- Rice underlined that there was no US support for new building
within settlements, but swiftly added that the meaning of "settlement
freeze" required of Israel under the internationally-drafted
"roadmap" peace plan of 2003 was still up for discussion.
"There is no agreement that you can build some, it's one
way or another," she said. "There is at this point
a desire to understand that better, so that we can understand
better what a settlement freeze might really mean," she
said. In a follow-up phone call to the Post, Rice added that
the US administration had had "discussions about steps toward
a settlement freeze" but "we've never reached closure
on that - it's complicated." A day earlier she told the
Los Angeles Times that Israel's plan to add 3,500 settler units
to the illegal Jewish settlement of "Maale Adumim"
east of Jerusalem was "at odds with American policy."

- PRESIDENT BUSH AND KING ABDULLAH OF JORDAN DISCUSS THE ME
PEACE TRADE [IMRA: The White House advises that White House Press
Secretary Scott McClellan explained in his press briefing that
"the settlements" means the settlements covered by
the disengagement and the "illegal outposts". ]
- ... PRESIDENT BUSH: ...We view Hezbollah as a terrorist organization,
and I would hope that Hezbollah would prove that they're not
by laying down arms and not threatening peace. One of our concerns
The Majesty and I discussed is that Hezbollah may try to derail
the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. And it's
very important that this peace process go forward, for the sake
of the Palestinians, for the sake of the Israelis, and for the
sake of all the people in the region. But Hezbollah has been
declared a terrorist organization by the United States because
of terrorist activities in the past.
- ....As for the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the role of the
United States will be to continue to urge both parties to make
the sacrifices necessary -- sacrifice meaning that Israel must
withdraw from the settlements, there must be contiguous territory
for a Palestinian state -- into which a Palestinian state can
grow. The Palestinians, in their part, must continue to work
hard to fight any terrorist activities within the territories,
and the Arab world must continue to work together to help Palestine
build the necessary structures for democracy.
- And I believe progress is being made. I said in my State
of the Union address to our country that I believe peace is within
hand and that the United States government will do that which
is necessary to help move the process forward.
- One of the things we've done is we've recently sent a general,
Your Majesty, to the region to help the Palestinians have an
effective security force. I believe President Abbas is desirous
of developing a state that will live side by side with Israel
in peace. And we recognize that the Palestinians need help in
consolidating security forces and training security forces to
defeat the terrorists who would like to stop the march of freedom.
...
- Q Your Majesty, since the new Palestinian leadership took
over, what's your personal vision for the region at this time?
- KING ABDULLAH: Well, I'm, again, very supportive of President
Abbas. I think he's a man of his word and I think that you'll
see him give 110 percent to deal with the security issues and
to push the process forward.
- I truly believe that in this man Prime Minister Sharon has
a partner for peace, and I'm very optimistic that between the
two leaders that the process will go forward and go forward positively.

- "FOUR ROADMAPS" WILL BE FINALIZED IN TIME FOR THE
EU-RUSSIA SUMMIT
- Press Release Jean Asselborn confident that the "four
roadmaps" will be finalised in time for the EU-Russia Summit
on 10 May 2005 Date of release : 1 April 2005 - Jean Asselborn,
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Immigration and current President
of the Council of the European Union, held talks with Russian
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on 1 April in Luxembourg as part
of the EU-Russia Partnership Council. Alongside Jean Asselborn,
the European Union delegation included Benita Ferrero-Waldner,
Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood
Policy. The two sides discussed EU-Russia relations, in particular
the ongoing negotiations on the "four spaces". The
Partnership Council also focussed on a number of topical international
and regional issues: the Western Balkans, the Middle East Peace
Process, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Cyprus, Moldova, Georgia, the
Darfour crisis in Sudan and, of course, the recent events in
Kyrgyzstan. At the end of the meeting, Jean Asselbon declared
to the press:
- "We had a very fruitful exchange this morning, in this
second meeting of the Permanent Partnership Council in Foreign
Ministers' formation. We had the occasion to note with great
satisfaction that general progress has been accomplished in the
work on the four common road maps. Indeed, at the EU-Russia Summit
in St. Petersburg in May 2003, the EU and Russia agreed to intensify
their strategic cooperation in four areas, called "four
spaces": economy; freedom, security and justice; external
security; research and education.
- Through the creation of these common spaces, the EU and Russia
will be able to cooperate more closely on common concerns and
interests, as well as on cross-border issues. We will strengthen
economic relations as well as our cooperation in the political
and security fields. In that way, we will further increase the
tangible contents of our partnership. We will be able to work
together more intensively to promote our common values such as
respect for the rule of law, human rights and democratic values.
