JTF should make a protest already
« on: February 23, 2007, 01:19:46 AM »
Seriously, JTF needs to make demonstrations and protests to gain support and recognition.  That's what I say.

I was waiting for someone to suggest that :)

However it wouldn't make a very big impact if only a dozen people were
demonstarting. Everbody should get involved! It will definitly spark something......

We don't want JTF to become a repeat of that organisation Chaim laughs at, forgotten what it's called, the one that said it was going to hold a demonstration in Jerusalem with 10000 orthodox Jews, and 10 turned up...

So are you saying it is better to not hold anything at all than to face the possibility that only a few will show up?  I think they need to start somewhere so all they have to do is to not exaggerate and brag that thousands will come when only 30 or so will show up.

The only protest that would be worthwhile is if we gathered at the Israeli consulate/embassy in NYC with our Israeli flags and demanded that Chaim be allowed to make Aliyah. The media may take interest in such a story because Chaim is sort of famous. Think about the irony. Chaim freed Soviet Jews and we are protesting to free Chaim!

The whole point of JTF besides funding its activities in Israel is to get Chaim back to Israel. By showing that he has a movement behind him and he has not broken any laws, the Israeli government has no basis to deny him Aliyah.

I believe with perfect faith that the day will come that Chaim is allowed to return to Israel. This day will come sooner than later.

Did he used to live in Israel?  Tell us more.  How did he free Soviet Jews?  Do Jews from the former Soviet Union appreciate that they were freed?  Some Jews who had parents or grandparents who lived in the Soviet Union, still speak Russian to this day.  Why are they so loyal to Russia?

I think we should infiltrate anti-Israel rallies and set off a stinkbomb in the middle of the crowd and make them disperse.

Chaim used to speak of blocking traffic, shutting down the subway system, etc.

He doesn't bring this up anymore.

JTF supporters in Israel and those with similar views there need to protest and assert that now is the time for a change in leadership and a leader who is MORE CONSERVATIVE than the Likud party. 

Ehud Barak thinks he can convince people that since they are unhappy with Olmert's leadership and the Kadima party, they should support the more liberal Likud party.  This is wrong and it's crazy, backwards thinking. 


The REAL CONSERVATIVES in Israel need to assert how they are the ones who understand the true threats that Israel faces and that they will offer real leadership for Israel.
