interesting article

开云体育To War, Not to Court By Charles Krauthammer
This is not crime. This is war. One of the reasons there are terrorists out there capable and audacious enough to carry out the deadliest attack on the United States in its history is that, while they have declared war on us, we have in the past responded (with the exception of a few useless cruise missile attacks on empty tents in the desert) by issuing subpoenas. Secretary of State Colin Powell's first reaction to the day of infamy was to pledge to "bring those responsible to justice." This is exactly wrong. Franklin Roosevelt did not respond to Pearl Harbor by pledging to bring the commander of Japanese naval aviation to justice. He pledged to bring Japan to its knees. You bring criminals to justice; you rain destruction on combatants. This is a fundamental distinction that can no longer be avoided. The bombings of Sept. 11, 2001, must mark a turning point. War was long ago declared on us. Until we declare war in return, we will have thousands of more innocent victims. We no longer have to search for a name for the post-Cold War era. It will henceforth be known as the age of terrorism. Organized terror has shown what it can do: execute the single greatest massacre in American history, shut down the greatest power on the globe and send its leaders into underground shelters. All this, without even resorting to chemical, biological or nuclear weapons of mass destruction. This is a formidable enemy. To dismiss it as a bunch of cowards perpetrating senseless acts of violence is complacent nonsense. People willing to kill thousands of innocents while they kill themselves are not cowards. They are deadly, vicious warriors and need to be treated as such. Nor are their acts of violence senseless. They have a very specific aim: to avenge alleged historical wrongs and to bring the great American satan to its knees. Nor is the enemy faceless or mysterious. We do not know for sure who gave the final order but we know what movement it comes from. The enemy has identified itself in public and openly. Our delicate sensibilities have prevented us from pronouncing its name. Its name is radical Islam. Not Islam as practiced peacefully by millions of the faithful around the world. But a specific fringe political movement, dedicated to imposing its fanatical ideology on its own societies and destroying the society of its enemies, the greatest of which is the United States. Israel, too, is an affront to radical Islam, and thus of course must be eradicated. But it is the smallest of fish. The heart of the beast -- with its military in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey and the Persian Gulf; with a culture that "corrupts" Islamic youth; with an economy and technology that dominate the world -- is the United States. That is why we were struck so savagely. How do we know? Who else trains cadres of fanatical suicide murderers who go to their deaths joyfully? And the average terrorist does not coordinate four hijackings within one hour. Nor fly a plane into the tiny silhouette of a single building. For that you need skilled pilots seeking martyrdom. That is not a large pool to draw from. These are the shock troops of the enemy. And the enemy has many branches. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Israel, the Osama bin Laden organization headquartered in Afghanistan, and various Arab "liberation fronts" based in Damascus. And then there are the governments: Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya among them. Which one was responsible? We will find out soon enough. But when we do, there should be no talk of bringing these people to "swift justice," as Karen Hughes dismayingly promised mid-afternoon yesterday. An open act of war demands a military response, not a judicial one. Military response against whom? It is absurd to make war on the individuals who send these people. The terrorists cannot exist in a vacuum. They need a territorial base of sovereign protection. For 30 years we have avoided this truth. If bin Laden was behind this, then Afghanistan is our enemy. Any country that harbors and protects him is our enemy. We must carry their war to them. We should seriously consider a congressional declaration of war. That convention seems quaint, unused since World War II. But there are two virtues to declaring war: It announces our seriousness both to our people and to the enemy, and it gives us certain rights as belligerents (of blockade, for example). The "long peace" is over. We sought this war no more than we sought war with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan or Cold War with the Soviet Union. But when war was pressed upon the greatest generation, it rose to the challenge. The question is: Will we? ? 2001 The Washington Post Company |

When the Unimaginable Happens, and
It's Right Outside Your Window
? By CLYDE HABERMAN ? ? ? DO you get it now? ? It is a question that many Israelis wanted to ask yesterday of America and the rest of the finger-pointing world. Not in a smart-alecky manner. Not to say, "We told you so." It was simply a question for those who, at a safe remove from the terrorism that Israelis face every day, have damned Israel for taking admittedly harsh measures to keep its citizens alive. ? "Suppose I had intelligence reports telling me that someone was going to hijack a Boeing 757 and crash it into the World Trade Center," an Israeli official said yesterday. "And suppose I used an M-16 to kill him. According to the arguments being used against us, I'd be an assassin, illegally using American weapons." ? This official was referring to the international condemnation Israel has endured for killing certain Palestinians, people accused of not only masterminding anti-Israel terrorist acts in the past but planning more in the near future. The American criticism of Israel has been sotto voce. But it is there. And in this Black September, after the worst act of terrorism in history, the question arises from Israelis like this official: ? Do you get it now? ? "We are now going to see a very resolute, and possibly global, approach to dealing with terrorism," Joseph Alpher, an Israeli strategic analyst, said by phone from Tel Aviv. As for his own country, he said, "People will understand with how much reserve we have responded - and after this, criticism of the response will lower." ? That question - do you get it? - came almost instantly to mind yesterday to me, too, after having just spent two months reporting from Israel. It was asked on more levels than merely how to deal with those who kill Americans for having committed the unforgivable sin of being Americans. ? You can't avoid the question when, again, as on many occasions while working in Israel in the first half of the 1990's, you have seen the human wreckage caused by the suicide bombs that go off with sickening frequency. You ask it because Jerusalem offers a glimpse of what New York may become. Some likened the assault on the trade center and the Pentagon to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. If the point was that we Americans may never be the same, the analogy is apt. Jerusalem points the way. ? JUST three days ago, I wrote about the fear that now grips Israelis, how they listen for the sirens, how as the ambulances keep coming, they reach for cell phones. Frantically, they call to make sure that loved ones are all right. Often, they cannot get through because so many people are phoning at the same time. They try to hold the panic at bay. ? All of that happened in New York yesterday. ? Even without knowing who was behind this monstrous act, you could not shake off the televised images of crowds of Palestinians - not a handful of bloodthirsty extremists - chanting "God is great" and joyously handing out candy in celebration on the streets of Nablus in the West Bank. Same as when a bomb went off in Jerusalem and killed children and their mothers in a restaurant. ? The funerals for yesterday's victims will, you may be certain, become national events and, for many, occasions for political statements. Same as in Jerusalem. ? In Israel, there is no such thing as six degrees of separation. In a country that small, two degrees is more like it. If you don't know a bombing victim personally, you almost surely know someone who does. You may safely bet that an extraordinary number of New Yorkers will have the same relationship to someone whose life was cruelly extinguished yesterday in Lower Manhattan. ? "It's all very personal there, and now it's all very personal here," said David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee. ? More clearly than ever, Americans now understand that they may not assume any public place is safe. Same as in Jerusalem. ? Remember the suicide bomber who killed 15 innocent people at a Sbarro's pizza outlet in downtown Jerusalem last month? As timing would have it, that restaurant is supposed to reopen today. No doubt an armed guard will be posted at the entrance, as one is these days at almost every restaurant and outdoor cafe in central Jerusalem. ? We certainly have no shortage of Sbarro outlets in New York. ? Do you get it now?? ? ? |

From: "Haim Huppert" <chaim@...> To: <elishulman@...> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 11:00 AM Subject: help Dear Rabbi, I am writing you to let you know of friends of mine living in Karnei Shomron who a few weeks ago had their lives turned upside down. August 5, 2001 - Tehiya Bloomberg, 40, of Karnei Shomron, was killed when Palestinian gunmen opened fire on the family vehicle between Alfei Menashe and Karnei Shomron. They were traveling in a three-car convoy on the Azoun bypass road leading from Kfar Sava to Karnei Shomron. The first car in the convoy overtook a Palestinian vehicle traveling very slowly in front of him. As he passed it, the terrorists opened fire, hitting his car but missing him. The second car in the convoy, containing the Bloombergs, also attempted to pass the Palestinian car and were sprayed with gunfire. Tehiya Bloomberg was fatally shot and died shortly afterwards. Three people were seriously wounded, including her husband, Shimon, and daughter, Tzippi, 14. Tehiya was the mother of five, aged 6 to 14, and was 5 months pregnant. She worked as a nurse in the health clinic in Karnei Shomron. Her husband Shimon is an employee of the Israel Aircraft Industry, and is very active in local religious community life in the Ginot Shomron neighborhood where the family lives (he is Gabbai of the shul). Shimon (Steve) came originally from England and Tehiya was born in Netanya. We are all still in shock over the loss of our friend and neighbor, Tehiya. As the days pass, and terrorist murders continue throughout Israel, we keep on. This time though, it has hit us very very close to home. We are continuing our daily routines as much as we can-despite the heavy feeling of loss that is in our hearts. Techiya's family is broken and in pain. and so is our community. And there is so much to do. We are all trying to help in any way possible. With food. Visits to the hospital. Paperwork. It's endless. And it's just beginning. We have set up a special fund, The Bloomberg Family Fund to help Tehiya's family, as they embark on the long, arduous recovery ahead of them. The government helps. but you know that this is never enough. This fund is to help fill in the gaps, and help make certain that things like the necessary wheelchair renovations in their home are made. All those "extras" that become such necessities. Like getting the children the special help they may need. We want to help alleviate their suffering in some small way, and we believe you also would like to help us do that. I wouldn't ask if I wasn't convinced that this fund will be used intelligently and conservatively. And was very much needed. We know all of you there are concerned about what is happening here in Israel-especially where we live. We are so sorry now that when you ask us if there is something you can do. there really is. This is very personal. And may seem very small. But it is important. Vital really. And very much appreciated. Please pray for the speedy recovery of Steve, Tehiya's husband (Shimon David ben Chana Gittel), Tehiya and Steve's daughter (Tzipora bat Tehiya) and our neighbor (Matan ben Michal), who was wounded as well. Please pass this attached letter to anyone you know who can and would like to help, or if you can get this letter to people in your shul who might be active in fund raising for these type of causes, it would be much appreciated.

Hello,
Your friend eli shulman (elishulman@...) sent you the following article: Interesting article THINK AGAIN: Religious Zionism, sex and the army By Jonathan Rosenblum (August 30) These are tough times for religious Zionism. The hesder yeshiva students who petitioned Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz over the issue of sexually integrated combat units could not possibly have anticipated the response they received. Mofaz made no effort to allay their concerns, and offered no soothing assurances that the army would accommodate their halachic requirements.
