An Open Letter to the Jewish Community from the Jewish Defence League of Canada
The purpose of this letter is to explain additional reasons to oppose the anti Jewish State resolution proposed at the Reform Judaism Convention. Please consider the following information and reject the blatant use of double standards imposed on the Jewish State of Israel. The leader of the Reform Judaism Movement is very clear. He wants the Jewish 'Settlements' destroyed so as to allow a Jew free Palestine State and the right of Arabs in what remains of Israel to be able to hold the highest office. That is his position. The King of Jordan will speak via satellite and will lecture the delegates concerning Arab claims to the Land of Israel.
The PA tries to forbid Arabs from selling land to ANY Jews as an "Islamic fatwa". In 1996, the Palestinian Authority (PA) Mufti, Ikremah Sabri, issued a fatwa (religious decree), banning the sale of Arab and Muslim property to Jews. Anyone who violated the order was to be killed. At least seven land dealers were killed that year. Six years later, the head of the PA's General Intelligence Service in the West Bank, General Tawfik Tirawi, admitted his men were responsible for the murders.
On May 5, 1997, Palestinian Authority Justice Minister Freih Abu Middein announced that the death penalty would be imposed on anyone convicted of ceding "one inch" to Israel. Later that month, two Arab land dealers were killed. PA officials denied any involvement in the killings. A year later, another Palestinian suspected of selling land to Jews was murdered. The PA has also arrested suspected land dealers for violating the Jordanian law (in force in the West Bank), which prohibits the sale of land to foreigners. These apartheid style practices mainfested in 'hit squads unleashed' were unveiling, Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli Arab politician, reacted to the sale during a radio interview by warning: "Whoever sells his house to Jews, has sold his soul to Satan and has done a despicable act." from the rulings: "Any Palestinian who sells land in violation of this law will be considered to have committed national treason and will receive the maximum punishment. "Any foreigner who violates this law will be prosecuted on charges of harming the national interest and will receive a life sentence. [593]
During the Palestinian War, few, if any Palestinians tried to sell land to Jews, but the prohibition remained in effect, Now that the war is over, the persecutions have begun again. In October 2004, Palestinian who allegedly sold land to Jews killed [594], In April 2006, Muhammad Abu al-Hawa was tortured and murdered because allegedly sold an apartment building in Israel's capital city to Jews [595] [596]. Since the Mufti forbade Muslims accused of selling land to Jews from being buried in a Muslim cemetery, al-Hawa was laid to rest in a makeshift cemetery on the road between Jerusalem and Jericho. [597] On April 2009, a Palestinian Authority military court sentenced a Hevron (Hebron) ( where Arabs are now the majority on the Jewish-owned land [598]), Arab to death by hanging for the "crime" of selling land to Jews in Judea and Samaria. [599] [600] [601] [602]
Fearing that Israel is hatching a plan to declare Jordan the official Palestinian state, Jordanian officials have begun revoking Palestinians' citizenship en masse, stirring panic.
Jordan's population is roughly 70 percent Palestinian, making the difficulty of this move quite obvious.
However, Jordan authorities say it is aimed at preventing Israel from forcing Palestinians out of Gaza. The former Palestinian citizens of Jordan will be allowed to stay as residents, so long as they obtain "yellow ID cards" from the government.
"We're not expelling anyone, nor are we revoking the citizenship of Jordanian nationals," said Jordan Interior Minister Nayef al-Kadi in an interview with Al-Hayat. "We are only correcting the mistake that was created after Jordan's disengagement from the West Bank. We want to highlight the true identity and nationality of every person."
