We, in Israel, feel that Israel is in grave danger, maybe more than ever before! President George W. Bush is determined to sacrifice Israel on the altar of his misconception that this will serve the strategic interests of the United States.
Women in Green cannot stress strongly enough how important it is that you show, with your presence, that you are uncompromisingly and adamantly against the division of Jerusalem, or any part of Israel!
I am sure there will be additional organizations that will also arrange permits for demonstrations in Annapolis, such as the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) etc. I have not received their definite plans as yet.
WARNING!
In this connection I must issue a very important warning. Investigate the sponsors of any planned demonstration in Annapolis very carefully before joining. For instance, it has come to my attention that some organizations which are not working completely in Israel’s interest, (no names mentioned), are possibly trying to recruit people for their own agendas. One organization that asked Women in Green to join them in their demonstration, turned out to be affiliated with the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the promotion of gay rights in the US.
You must Google the names of demonstration sponsors carefully before joining!!
AFSI, of course, is completely Kosher.
We wish we could be there with you, but Women in Green must stay on the forefront of the battle, here, in Israel.
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
Ruth and Nadia Matar

[from a forwarded message]Subject: More Rallies to Defend Jerusalem-DC/Annapolis, Miami, NYC, Chicago, Jerusalem
We are protesting the Bush/Rice/Olmert fiasco to set up a New terrorist state to destroy Israel with. Jerusalem doesn't belong to them to give away, but to every Jew and all Jews ever murdered for being Jews for the last 5000 years. Below is a list of rallies we are sponsoring in Round I to stop this appeasement and rewarding of terrorists that will not only attack Israel but the U.S. as well.
Yours in Shalom,
Bob Kunst

Having just listened to an interview with Amb. John Bolton and Natan Sharansky on Lori Lowenthal Marcus and Steve Feldman on the ZoA MiddleEast News Hour on
WNWR.com, Listen here at
http://www.zoaphilly.org/. I would say that Dr. Rice follows what Bolton called "the General Colin Powellschool" of listening to the Arabists at State and the Islamist propagandists here in America and advocating on their collective behalves before the President and the NSC staffs. But then, the President and Dr. Rice are leading this country astray and into a cataclysmic abyss based ondenial and delusion akin to what British PM Chamberlain did in September, 1938. Israel, according to Amb. Bolton has weak leadership and the Palestinians are even weaker ones. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Emirates member oif the Arab League anti-Israell boycott have trillions of petrodollars. They could part with 1/10th of one-quarter of one percent to assist their Mulsim brothers in the PA West Bank and Gaza, but won't.
Blame it on the Jews and the West and let us pay for the huge open running sewer in Gaza and delivery of armored cars to the PLO-Fatah along with 1,000 weapons. And let us not forget the 'good faith release' of another Palestinian terrorist prisoners. The sands in the nuclear hourglass as commented on by Amb. Bolton held by Iran have about been drained, what follows will be the dawn of an artificial sun on the Persian New Year in 2008 that coluld obliterate Israel and sections of the Arab Middle East. As I pointed out during a call to Lori and Steve, Amb. Boilton had been an early and vigorous advocate warning in the highest councils of government about the menace of not only Syria's nuclear threat, but, as I also pointed out Syria's massive bio-warfare thrteat to Israel and US. A threat jointly developed with Iran, North Korea, Russia,with 'gifts' of pathoigens and dispersal technologies from Saddam Hussein and even purchase of technology from Germany and the US. We are indenial about that threat to Israel and us. As Steve Feldman pointed out, Israel has a gas mask shortage--all at a time when this palpable threat could be unleashed at a momet's notice producing mass casualties.As I wrote in an email to Fred Taub in Cleveland, this is Munich Rising.

Israel at risk as Annapolis approaches
Esther LevensKC Jewish Chronicle, November 20, 2007
The American administration's new Middle East peace initiative is based on wishful thinking.
Late reports tell us that Mahmoud Abbas is making more demands before agreeing to attend the Summit to be sponsored by the United States in Annapolis, Md. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is determined to conclude an agreement with Abbas, who will promise peace in exchange for every conceivable tangible demand from Israel.
The Palestinians demand almost all of Judea, Samaria and Gaza, half of Jerusalem, the entire Temple Mount, the right of return of 4 million Palestinian refugees, border areas from before the Six-Day War, freedom for all PA prisoners, the right to open Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem, return of the terrorists deported from the Church of the Nativity and immediate retreat to the September 2000 lines (these are the lines from which the Arabs launched the second intifada, in which Yasser Arafat and Abu Mazen's Fatah terrorists killed more than 1,000 Israelis). Iin addition, they demand the execution of the third stage of the Oslo Accords, an end to building in the settlements, and cessation of the construction of the Mughrabi Bridge in Jerusalem.

The Annapolis Fiasco
Bret StephensWall Street Journal, October 20, 2007
Henry Kissinger once observed that "when enough prestige has been invested in a policy it is easier to see it fail than abandon it." At the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., next week, the current secretary of state will illustrate her predecessor's point."Annapolis," as it is spoken of in diplomatic circles, was conceived earlier this year by the Bush administration as a landmark conference that would revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and lead to a final settlement by January 2009. It was to be modeled on the Madrid conference of 1991, which brought Israeli leaders face-to-face with their Arab counterparts and, as it seemed at the time, created a new paradigm in the affairs of the Middle East. Back then, the idea was that the Iron Wall between the Jewish state and its neighbors could be brought down just as the Berlin Wall had. Today, the operative theory is that Israel's neighbors, fearful of Iran's growing regional clout, have a newfound interest in putting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to rest.Nice theory--if only the locals would get with the concept. The Egyptians are openly skeptical about the conference, which they say lacks "an endgame." The Saudis, supposedly among the beleaguered and newly pliable Sunni powers, can hardly be bothered with Annapolis; even now it's unclear whether their foreign minister will attend. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has told the Saudis he would rather resign than attend a conference that achieves nothing. He fears Palestinians would "turn to Hamas after they see that Annapolis did not give them anything," according to an unnamed Palestinian official quoted in the Jerusalem Post.

http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/news/article.php?id=2048Survey: Americans see Israel as ally
Jonah Newman
Jerusalem Post, November 18, 2007
A large percentage of Americans continue to support the State of Israel, especially in relation to the Palestinians and the "war on terror," according to a survey released Sunday by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
The survey reveals that a large majority of Americans, 65%, see Israel as an important ally.
A 2005 ADL poll showed nearly identical numbers of Americans with this view, indicating that American support for Israel has stayed strong and relatively constant over the last few years.

http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/news/article.php?id=2049Israeli lawmakers move to keep hold of East Jerusalem
Rebecca HarrisonReuters, November 14, 2007
JERUSALEM - Israel's parliament gave preliminary approval on Wednesday to legislation that would make it more difficult to give up parts of Jerusalem in any peace deal with the Palestinians.The vote, two weeks before a U.S.-led conference on Palestinian statehood, underscored the problems Prime Minister Ehud Olmert could face in rallying his diverse coalition around any future compromise aimed at resolving one of the most divisive issues of the Middle East conflict.The proposed bill stipulates that amendment of a 1980 law that declared all of Jerusalem Israel's "complete and united capital" would require the approval of 80 of parliament's 120 legislators, instead of 61 under current rules.

- MEDIA ALERT -
International Annapolis Summit
November 26
U.S. Naval AcademyTalk About Divide and Conquer
If President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have their way, the map you see on the left will be the new configuration of Israel  dividing Israel in half with ÂPalestine in the middle. The miniscule state of Israel will grow even smaller than it already is after losing territory that the Palestinians are demanding.
The land they ask for, more than 95% of the West Bank, will give them sovereignty over almost all of the Christian and Jewish Holy Land Sites. In addition Israel will be reduced on it eastern border to a highly populated corridor that in some places is only 9 miles wide.
How would you defend a country only 9 miles wide?
The forthcoming Summit at Annapolis will seal the deal. It will impact history in an unprecedented way by creating a 23rd Arab state  one led by the Hamas and Fatah terrorist organizations vowing to destroy Israel. The scheduled date is November 26, but the Administration has been evasive in publicizing details of the time and place. They say it will be held in the historic Naval Academy.
When will the media take notice? After the deed is done and it is too late? We feel that the media, especially in the Washington, DC-Maryland area should begin to focus on this and all of the dissension it is creating among various groups who are organized in opposition. So far the entire event has been cloaked in secrecy, while reports on private meetings and negotiations with foreign officials are being leaked.
Six rallies opposing the Summit are set to take place, one in Washington, another in Annapolis and four more across the country. The public is encouraged to participate. They are scheduled as follows:
- Sunday, Nov. 25, 2007, Noon at LaFayette Park in front of the White House and a march to the Holocaust Museum. shalom International and Coalition to Defend Jerusalem, Contact: bob Kunst 305-864-5110

If the Administration were concerned about the wishes of our citizens, they would not be so secretive, or plan this event during the holidays when most people are distracted.
It is hard to imagine that our President, whose intentions appear to be to dismantle Israel, could be the same person who, early in his presidency, viewed Israel from the air. When he saw the 9-mile strip that a Palestinian state would leave Israel with, he humorously exclaimed, There are driveways in Texas longer than that!
