As I've said many times, for me and my peers what others call history is what we remember and have experienced. I've known Sybil Kaplan for half a century, starting in New York City when we both were involved with Israeli Folk Dance. And then later, we both made aliyah in 1970 by boat, though different sailings.
It was due to Sybil that my articles appeared for many years in the National Jewish Post & Opinion. And to prove that I'm not just bragging, my name (and my husband's) can be found in Sybil's recently self-published book, "Witness to History." You can purchase the book by contacting her directly.
Sybil concentrates her book on the ten years she had lived in Jerusalem throughout the 1970's. Her book is based on her hundreds of articles written during that time, when she was one of the most prolific free lance writers in Israel. Her specialties were food and the immigrant experience.
Sybil's most well-known and still requested book is "Wonders of the WonderPot," in which she explains how to use and gives recipes for that iconic Israeli stove-top cooking device.
One of the repeating themes in Witness to History is the difficulties Israelis once had getting phone lines and having them transferred from home to home, especially problematic for someone like Kaplan who was always renting. Compare that to today's Israeli who has easily purchased and relatively inexpensive multiple phone lines.
Today Israel is one of the most modern and technologically advanced countries in the world. In 1970, when we made aliyah, there were many difficulties, and today's olim (new immigrants) should read Sybil's book just to see how quickly things have progressed here. Everyone with an interest in modern Jewish/Israeli history will find amazing facts that can't be found anyplace else. Yes, I did enjoy the book very much. It brought me back to those early days...
It's obvious that Witness to History is a book of love by Sybil and her husband Barry, who are both so happy to finally be living in their beloved Jerusalem.

Trump is Right Not to Visit Israel Now
| newyorker.com |
There are two major reasons why Donald Trump should not pay the traditional POTUS wannabe visit to Israel.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is hesitant on the issue of a possible visit to Israel, despite reports last week that Republican Jews are laying the groundwork for such a trip in the coming weeks, The Jewish Insider reported Monday. (Arutz 7)
- It's conventional and phony.
- It's bad for Netanyahu.
We all remember that visits of previous candidates over the years and the lies they told of how they love and support and understand the security problems and Arab terrorism against Israel and Israelis. And then once elected, the same candidates show their true colors and suddenly haven't a clue about the dangers of arab terrorism. I'm sure that most real thinking Israelis just don't want Trump, who has prided himself on his unconventional and refreshingly honest campaign to play the old game and read the old scripts. Not even Hillary is talking about coming, and she would bring great pro-Israel speechwriters who would make her sound more pro-Israel than Golda Meir. In all honesty, "pro-Israel" is no longer a vote-getter for American Presidential wannabes.
And in all honesty, I don't think that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu wants for be pushed into any sort of involvement in American elections. The Americans, especially those supporting Hillary, were behind the big "anybody but Bibi" aka V15 campaign against him, just over a year ago. Netanyahu is playing the high road now and does not want to be involved in any way or form in the American campaign. It is best for both him and Trump to stay out, and one way is for Trump to stay out of Israel. He can visit after his victory, and no doubt such a visit will be planned and planned well.

Was Bibi Conned by Lieberman? Has The Coalition Crumbled?
Just a day ago, it seemed like Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had pulled another of his brilliant chess political moves, enlarging the schisms in Labor aka Zionist Movement, getting the problematic Bogie Ya'alon to resign and shoring up his barebones coalition with the addition of Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel's Our Home.)

And then came today, and when I got home and turned on the news, it didn't look all that rosy for Bibi.
But don't count on this being a knockout against Netanyahu or even a TKO. He's the wiliest Israeli politician around, and he wants to leave office with honor. The chances are that he'll manage to cement the cracks and even expand his coalition. Politics is never dull.
And then came today, and when I got home and turned on the news, it didn't look all that rosy for Bibi.
There's some serious rivalry between the two "home" parties. Naftali Bennett's Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home) wants some improvements before letting in Lieberman's israel Beiteinu (Israel's Our Home.)Honeymoon over before it begins as Israeli coalition talks hit impasse
Likud says that it will not reopen coalition negotiations with any party as Bennett, Liberman and Kahlon demands complicate entry of Yisrael Beytenu into coalition.
Bennett demands Netanyahu fix Security Cabinet flawsAnd to top it all off, the media gave lots of coverage to Herzog's angry speech. Though Herzog's Zionist Movement has almost as many new cracks as Bibi's coalition.
Jewish Home chairman and Minister of Education Naftali Bennett has demanded Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu fix security cabinet deficiencies as a coalition condition, ahead of Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman’s appointment as Defense Minister.
But don't count on this being a knockout against Netanyahu or even a TKO. He's the wiliest Israeli politician around, and he wants to leave office with honor. The chances are that he'll manage to cement the cracks and even expand his coalition. Politics is never dull.
Is This The Year of Donald Trump? Obama's Opposite...
| downtrend.com |
If you remember back about nine years ago, it did seem that Obama came out of left field into the presidency. And if I'm not mistaken, his success in grabbing the nomination from Hillary Clinton, who felt the position was hers, was due to the surprise support of the Kennedy women and subsequently Ted Kennedy. That was the tipping point that had Hillary's support disappear like the water in a leaking jug.
I spotted an interesting summary of Trump's life and background on facebook which I will post here:
Author unknown

immigrants.

* Freidrich was establishing a Real Estate business in Queens when
he died suddenly at age 49 (1918).
* In 1920, at the age of 15, Fred Trump (Freiderich's son and
Donald's father), started a business partnership with his widowed mother called
Elizabeth Trump & Son.
* This business was built upon the real estate holdings that his
father, Frederich, had amassed (worth about $500,000.00 in today's dollars).
This is the original "seed money" of the current Trump Organization.
* Elizabeth & Fred remained close business partners her entire life
(she died in 1966).
* In 1936 Fred Trump (age 31) married Mary Ann MacLeod (age 24) of
Stoneaway Scotland.
* During the depression, Fred Trump built and successfully operated
a supermarket (a new concept at the time) which was sold to King Kullen Co.
and operates this day.
* Fred Trump made a lot of money building housing for the military
during WWII.
* Fred Trump was investigated by the Justice Department for making
"excessive profits" from government contracts.
* All (or nearly all) of the building of Elizabeth Trump & Son's
non-government building was residential property in Queens.
* Fred Trump died in 1999 (age 94) - beloved and worth between $250
million and $300 million. His wife died a year later.

Donald Trump is the greatest career achiever of the "baby boomer"
generation.
Donald Trump has reached the zenith in his careers as book author, TV
entertainer, sports entertainer, Real Estate developer, and currently
politician.
* Donald Trump has authored more than 18 books. At least one of
them, The Art of the Deal was a top seller.
* Donald says that the Holy Bible is his favorite book. The Art of
the Deal is his 2nd favorite book. And The Power of Positive Thinking by
Norman Vincent Peale is his third favorite book.
* He likes golf. Donald Trump has developed more than 11 golf
courses which bear his name.
* Donald Trump has twice been nominated for an Emmy Award
* Donald Trump has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
* Donald Trump has been inducted to the Professional Wrestling Hall
of Fame.

and revenue records up til that time.

the most popular votes for the President of the United States out of a field
of experienced and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved
this with less money than any of his opponents.
Keeping in mind that 90% of start up businesses fail, Trump's record of
enterprise is nothing short of amazing.
Donald Trump has enjoyed success in at least 11 very different
enterprises: Professional football, Ice Skating rinks, Fragrance, Ice, Steaks, Wines,
Model management, Airline, blenders, Men's wear, Bicycle races, world class
beauty contests, and many others. In some of these, such as model
management, his firm has risen to the top of that particular industry.

Riverside. Drive down the Henry Hudson Blvd. - you can't miss them.

* And much, much, more in real estate.
* Trump Entertainment, casinos and resorts was recently sold to Carl
Ichan.
* Donald Trump's personal managing of the Wollman Ice Skating Rink
project in the early 1980's is the quintessential case study for MBA
students in Wharton, Harvard, and other business schools. His performance there
was phenomenal.

200,000 people.
* In the casino business in Atlantic City, Trump had to do business
with known mobsters - and he stayed "clean" and alive.

Wall Street "player".
The Political Trump:
about 1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald Reagan)
1987 - 1999 - Republican
1999 - 2001 - Reform Party (he supported Ross Perot)
2001 - 2009 - Democrat
2009 - 2011 - Republican
2011 - 2012 - Independent
2012 - Present - Republican
Donald Trump was openly supportive of Mitt Romney's candidacy.
Donald Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high
regard.
For the most part, his political involvement has been for practical
reasons.
Donald Trump does not appear to be held to political ideology.
Some of my take aways:
* Trump has an extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much
like Teddy Roosevelt but more targeted to industry and enterprise.
* Trump's presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and
communicative.
* Trump will be a very hard working President.
* His interaction with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells
me that he thinks that everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should
be.
* His relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in
tolerance for him.
* Trump is the Babe Ruth of career achievements.
* He is dumb like a fox. When you think he just said something
stupid - he didn't. It's just that you were not his target audience.
* Trump knows the people - the folk.
* His son, Donald Jr. is right. Trump is a "Blue Collar
Billionaire".
* More than anything, his TV show, The Apprentice, was his passion.
He wants all Americans to have confidence (like he does) to venture.
* Donald Trump is attracted to and marries smart, high achieving
women.
* The highest levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have
many women - and they will be bright and assertive.
* Donald Trump's children are very important to him. And it shows.
PS. Yes, we know nothing of our current president with 2 terms in office.
* Donald John Trump, was born June 14, 1946.

The big difference between Obama and Trump is that from all accounts, Obama was pushed/mentored/controlled/activated by others in his political career, while Trump seems to be a total independent, self-motivated to the extreme.

Patronising the Palestinians
by Mr. Pat Condell, 2013 January 3
SOURCE:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzCIckbZKUs
Well, a happy New Year to everyone; I hope we all get what
we want this year. And for my part, I would like to see a change in our racist
attitude in the West, towards the situation in the Middle East, if that would
not be too much trouble.
Because right now, we patronize the Palestinians, by holding
them to a lower standard of behavior, as we do with all Arabs, because we are
racists. We would never admit this of
course; we would not want our racism to be perceived as racist, because then we
would have to own-up to it, and that might short-circuit our poor, deluded,
hypocritical, racist brains.
Because we are racists, we choose to ignore the fact that
they deliberately target women and children, while hiding behind their own
women and children, which is a war crime, and they do it ALL the time. Yet we know there is not a hope in Hell that
any of them will ever be tried in The Hague, because we have given them a free-pass
on indiscriminate barbarism. We do not believe they are capable of civilized
behavior, because we are racists.
Being racists, we choose to ignore the thousands of Iranian
rockets that come out of Gaza every month, until Israel finally retaliates to
protect its people, and only then do we start huffing and puffing, and calling-in
ambassadors.
Israelis get no credit AT ALL for carefully avoiding
civilian casualties, even though it is not in dispute that that is what they
do; we just ignore it. When, if the Palestinians would behave like that, we
would trumpet their virtues from the rooftops, and shower them with Nobel
Prizes. But they do not behave like
that, because we do not expect them to, and they know that. They know they can
blow-up Israeli civilians ALL-day-long, and the free-world’s racist
double-standards will NEVER hold them to account.
On the contrary, we actively encourage their delinquent
culture to become even more delinquent, by consistently indulging and rewarding
its delinquent behavior with political support and billions of dollars; and
then we will wring our hands, and wonder why nothing changes.
The Palestinians are victims, yes, but of their own insane
and bloodthirsty leadership. And of a
religion [Islam] that has such an iron-grip on it population that a mother will
actually celebrate the death of her child in its cause, and dissent from it can
literally cost you your life.
Yet we pretend that the influence of this religion is absolutely
zero, and that this is actually a political situation. We maintain the
ludicrous fiction that the Arabs are fighting for justice and civil rights,
when we can see the kind of justice and civil rights that have been delivered to
the people of Gaza, under the religious jackboot of Hamas.
We choose to ignore the fact that Arabs in Israel have more
rights than they do in ANY Arab country, and that there are Arab Israelis in
government and in the army, because these facts are inconvenient to our Liberal-racist-prejudice,
and they shatter the carefully-nurtured propaganda myth of the apartheid state.
Beings racists, we choose to ignore the history of the
region, and the fact that every time the Arabs feel strong enough, they attack
Israel unprovoked, with the intention of committing religious genocide. And
they make no secret of it. We know the [Palestinian] refugee situation only
exists because the last time they did this, they told Arabs living in the West
Bank to move out and promised them they could return when all the Jews had been
killed. They are still waiting, and the agenda has not changed.
And the agenda is NOT territory or justice as we so
dishonestly like to pretend.
The agenda is religious blood vengeance, fulfilling Islamic scripture and wiping-out the Jews: ALL of them! Islamic-Jew-hatred, as mandated by the Koran, which was around long-before the State of Israel, as drummed-into the children, and is broadcast every day in the Arab media, is the root-cause of this problem. And for us in the West to pretend otherwise is as irresponsible as treating a bullet-wound without removing the slug; we are just messing-around with the symptoms and making things worse.

And for us in the West to pretend otherwise is as irresponsible as treating a bullet-wound without removing the slug; we are just messing-around with the symptoms and making things worse.
Nothing is going to change in the Middle East until we pay
the Arabs the compliment of holding them to the same standard as everyone else.
And that means cutting-off the money-supply and telling them bluntly, that it
is time to drop this infantile Bronze-Age blood-vengeance-crap, and move into
the 21st-Century, because we are all waiting for them. If we do not
do this, if we carry-on indulging their primitive caveman-hatred, by treating
this as political problem, and not a religious one, then we are effectively
underwriting permanent war in the Middle-East; because whether we like it or
not, Israel is certainly now the front-line between Islam and civilization.
And we should know by now that there is no compromise with
Islam; you either win, or you lose; and if you lose, you lose everything,
especially if you are Jewish. And the
Palestinian leadership have made it crystal-clear, that as long as there is ANY
level of Jewish autonomy in the Middle East, NOTHING that Israel concedes will
ever be enough to satisfy them. They do
not want peace at any price; they want to drive the Jews, ALL of them, into the
Sea. And they never stop telling us
that. We have no excuse for pretending
not to hear.
It is written right-into the Hamas charter; it runs through
every speech they make. And according to
the leader of Hezbollah: Quote: “It is an open war until, until the elimination
of Israel, and until death of the last Jew on Earth, unquote.” How many times do they have to say it, before
we finally snap-out of our patronizing, Liberal-racist, stupor, and start
listening?

Palestine Heritage Museum- Rhetoric, not Artifacts
Vive la différence! While museums and archaeological sites all over Israel, large and small, are full of artifacts that prove the Jewish historical connection to the Jewish People and the Land of Israel, the Holy Land, the expensive building called the "Palestine Heritage Museum" recently built in Birzeit is empty.
They claim that it was due to administrative problems that the planned embroidery exhibit wasn't put up for display. Embroidery? Duh? How does that prove a connection to Land, a history?
Here in Shiloh, we have discovered the Biblical Shiloh City Walls and so many certified and proven artifacts from Biblical days, when Shiloh housed the Mishkan, Tabernacle. Recent testing of the food found in the jugs pictured above verify that it is from about fifty years before the rule of King David, when there were still pilgrimages to the Mishkan, Tabernacle Shiloh.
The more the archaeologists dig and the more they check, the more confirmation is proven of the Biblical narrative. Yes, only the Jewish People can prove thousands of years of connections and history to our precious Land of Israel!!

Did Buji Fall for a "Fake" by Bibi?
My son plays and coaches tackle football. One of his good friends and teammates was interviewed not long ago about football and when asked about the "brutality" of the game, he acted offended and said that he looks at the game as an intellectual game, just like chess... I'm pretty sure that Prime Minister Binyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu and the incoming Minister of Defense Avigdor "Yvette" Lieberman are chess players. I wonder if they also like American Football, because it seems to me that they pulled one of those "Trick" football plays.
While Isaac "Buji" Herzog and Bibi were busy discussing the issues and negotiating how to bring Herzog's Zionist Movement into the coalition, and all eyes and pundit were on them, suddenly Lieberman ran with the ball for a touchdown! And he managed to knock Bogie Ya'alon off of the field without losing speed for even a second.
LAHAV HARKOV wrote a great opinion piece in the Jerusalem Post comparing Buji to the hapless Charlie Brown who always falls for such tricks.

Imposed "Peace" is More Like Rape
| Two Israelis have been killed and more than a dozen left injured after two Palestinian attackers launched a gun and knife attack on a bus in Jerusalem in what has been labelled a "day of rage". (gagadaily.com) |
The French, Americans and other dangerous busybodies have been gathering forces to conduct a dangerously faux Peace sic conference in which they delusionally plan on concocting a so called "peace" agreement between Israel and her enemies which would enable the establishment of a new Arab terror state aka "Palestine."
Paris is to host an international meeting in May of 20 countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, to discuss the peace process. Israel and the Palestinians have not been invited. (abc news)Of course, none of them give a hoot nothing they decide/impose will bring a true peace and that Israel is an independent country that has never harmed any other.
Middle East Deal Making |
To me it's very clear that whatever "decisions" this French-American-European initiative comes up with will be bad for the security and continued existance of the State of Israel.
Secretary of State John Kerry announced Thursday that he will attend a meeting on a French-led peace plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – a plan opposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Kerry said in Brussels on Thursday that he informed French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault that the U.S. will participate in the June 3 meeting after some initial doubt about his availability on a previously scheduled date. The organizers of the meeting also plan a larger international conference on the Middle East this summer amid a growing dissatisfaction that decades of U.S.-led efforts have yielded little in the way of results.

Trump is Inching Ahead of Hillary, No Surprise!
| abc news |
Too many people have been claiming that Donald Trump is bad as the Republican Presidential Nominee, because he hasn't a chance in hell to win against Hillary Clinton. Well, if that's your best excuse against him, you had better look for another one.
Fox News Poll: Trump tops Clinton, both seen as deeply flawed candidatesPersonally, I am not at all surprised.
Donald Trump tops Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, according to a new Fox News Poll that also finds majorities of voters feel both frontrunners lack strong moral values and will say anything to get elected.
Trump has a 45-42 percent edge over Clinton, if the presidential election were held today. That’s within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Last month, Clinton was up by 48-41 percent (April 2016).
From the very beginning, the media and pundits have overwhelmingly underestimated Trump's appeal to American voters of all colors, socio- economic groups, stripes etc.
No doubt that history will call the American 2016 Presidential Elections, the voter rebellion or the rise of the anti-establishment candidates. The fact that Bernie Sanders of the Democrats has not only refused to concede defeat to Hillary Clinton, but actually is continuing to win primaries, and Donald Trump has totally mowed down every single Republican wannabe is a wake up call to all willing to listen.
American voters are disgusted with how the country is going down the drain, whether it's the legitimizing of illegals, outsourcing which is leaching jobs from America or the fact that they don't feel at all safe in public toilets with the now very flexible definitions of male and female.
With less than six months to the U.S. Presidential Elections, what's your prediction now?!?

Palestine: Fictional Country/People
When I send out a batch of family photos, I have to use an account that for whatever reason doesn't allow regular correspondence, so I always label (put in the subject) it with:
It's that same sort of careless reading that people use to claim that there had been a "state called Palestine,"sic here where there now is the State of Israel. They use old maps of the Middle East as proof:
They don't bother checking history books. Just a quick google brought me to the site with these maps. Here are two more which make it very clear, especially if you read the captions that there hadn't been a country named "Palestine" at all.
There always were Jews here, even after the destruction of the Second Temple. Jews lived all over in many cities, not only Jerusalem, Tzfat and Hebron. I have neighbors who are descended from the Jewish community in Gaza. Yes, until not all that long ago, and I'm talking pre-State of Israel there had always been Jews in Gaza. It had never been an Arab country until just recently when Israel gave it to Hamas and its supporters.
And yes there were also Arabs here, not too many. That is until Zionism brought economic opportunities for both Jews and Arabs. That's when many Arabs emigrated from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and further away. And don't forget that Jordan is also a Twentieth Century invention. Great Britain, contrary to the instructions they were given for the "Palestine Mandate," gave all of Transjordan, the land east of the Jordan River to the Hashemite Tribe from Saudi Arabia, and they (the Hashemites) have been occupying it ever since.
Ever since the Jewish Kingdoms and People were defeated and banished from this part of the Middle East, there hadn't been a home-grown independent country here until the Establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. We have returned, and the Land is OURS!!
"Please reply to ...gmail.com."And inevitably, replies get sent to that account and vary rarely to my gmail one. And recently I did someone a favor and sent out an email for her to a group list very clearly writing:
"Please don't reply. Call the following number..."And of course, you guess, I got lots of emails for her and had to forward them.

Nobody Wants Herzog in Coalition but Bibi and Buji
![]() |
| "Just not Buji;" Just not Bibi" Bibi Buji That was the election campaign. |
18 [11] Yesh AtidSo, it's pretty obvious that Buji sees Bibi as his lifeline to political survival. Jeremy's latest post concentrates on the question of whom the public wants to see joining the coalition, Knesset Channel Poll: 41% want Liberman to join Netanyahu Government.
17 [24] Zionist Union
Do you support Zionist Union joining the government?
General Public: 52% No, 24% Yes, 24% Don’t know
Zionist Union voters: 60% No, 36% Yes, 4% Don’t know
All these political machinations just show us how far removed coalition politics is from the will of the people.
| Will Bibi and Buji make a deal? |
