We, a group of Jews who repatriated to Israel during the last thirty years from different states of the former USSR, are calling upon all the Jews in the world to support our categorical demand towards the Government of Israel: to stop immediately all contacts with Yasser Arafat - the most monstrous enemy of the Jewish people since Hitler. 

Such contacts constitute a crime not only against the Jewish people, but against the very foundations of universal morality, indeed, against humanity itself. Israeli politicians, who under every pretext grant Arafat international legitimacy as Israel's "peace partner", allow him to continue, with complete impunity, the piecemeal genocide of the Jews. Such appeasement, even if dictated with the best intentions, is criminal and can only be compared with that which led to Munich and the demise of Czechoslovakia. 

The "national unity" government, under the Sharon-Peres leadership, is deceiving the Jewish people and acts contrary to Israel's national interest. It has been engaged in deceit since the Rosh HaShana War-the war initiated by Arafat last year and misleadingly called "El-Aksa intifada".  Arafat has revealed to all his evil face; he has opened the eyes of the Left and the Right, of the religious and the secular.  But Israel's Government has deliberately obscured the totality and unlimited objectives of Arafat's War. It has closed its eyes to the Moslem's illegal and destructive activity on the Temple Mount-activity designed to remove every trace of Jewish presence on this most sacred place of our people. 

This Government has turned a blind eye to the savage killing of two reserve soldiers in Ramalla and of two teenagers in Teqoa, to the murder of the babies Shalhevet Pas of Hebron and Yehuda Shoham of Shilo, to the terrorist atrocities in the Delphinarium in Tel-Aviv and Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem. Jews continue to be murdered on a daily basis. Hundreds have been killed and many more wounded and maimed for life since the outbreak of the Rosh HaShana War, yet the Government has done nothing to put an end to this carnage. Even the murder of the government minister Rehavaam Zeevi did not compel the government to reverse its policy. 

Perhaps the greatest outrage committed by this Government was its attempt to renew the "peace process" with the butcher of the Jewish people during the Days of Awe and Repentance between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur! One cannot help but see here the moral and metaphysical significance of the crime that this Government committed, a crime for which responsibility will also be borne, ultimately, by every Jew who did not oppose it. 

Unless the Sharon-Peres appeasement policy is brought to a halt-immediately, completely, and irreversibly-it will surely bring about the destruction of the State of Israel and another Holocaust. Hard as it is to pronounce these words, this pending Holocaust, which in fact has already started, will be more horrifying than the one perpetrated by Nazi Germany. The Durban conference and the resurgence of European anti-Semitism are but a subtle hint of what may happen to Israel and, ultimately, to world Jewry. 

We can still do something to prevent this disaster. Let all the Jews in the world proclaim their resounding NO to the present policy of Israel's Government. Let them, together with us, do their utmost to compel the Government to fulfill its sacred national duty-its duty to the Jewish > people and to all those in the world who have not lost their human image; its duty to the God of Israel Who has chosen the Jews to be the light unto mankind. 

We ask everyone to sign this appeal. We ask you to translate it into every language and to distribute it among the Jews of the world.  You will thereby contribute to the consolidation of all the energy and resources of world Jewry for the sake of influencing the Government of Israel in the direction outlined in this appeal.

Russion version
An introduction to MAOF
Haim Goldman

Dear Friends,

Would you believe that the undersigned has anything in common with

-- Professor Victor Davis Hanson (Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University),
-- Dr Charles Krauthammer, (Washington Post, Time, The Weekly Standard),
-- Caroline Glick (Deputy Managing Editor of the Jerusalem Post),
-- Jonathan Tobin (Executive Editor of the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent).

Amazingly, the editors of the MAOF website decided that the missives of the undersigned are worthy of translation and posting along the articles written by these distinguished authors.

The first letter was published without the consent of the undersigned.
However, after thorough examination of the laudable attitude of MAOF and of the excellent contents of the website, the undersigned had most graciously granted his permission for publication of his missives in both English and Russian.

“Analytical Group MAOF” [1] is an organisation founded about ten years ago by Russian-speaking Jewish intellectuals. The attitude of MAOF is definitely pro-Zionist -- unambiguously and unapologetically.

One of MAOF’s primary purposes is providing information and analysis about Middle-Eastern and world affairs as well as about Israel’s history, values and dilemmas. In addition to extensive publication activity in various media, MAOF also organises excursions and seminars. While the vast majority of the contents of the MAOF website is in Russian, texts originally written in English are provided in the original [2] as well as in Russian.

There are arguably about 250 millions of Russian-speakers worldwide and many of them do not read English. The indisputable motivation for the author’s permission was to grant those millions of disadvantaged people the grand benefit of reading the author’s ruminations. If the author is ever maliciously accused that his tacit motivation for authorising the publication was his craving to be listed along with the above-mentioned distinguished writers, his plea will definitely be “nolo contendere”.

The editors of MAOF expressed their gratitude by granting the undersigned a privilege that no other author got – the opportunity to review and correct the Russian translation before publication. The original letters of the undersigned are at [3] and their Russian version is at [4]. At of today, only two letters are posted but several other letters are pending translation.

You are kindly ENCOURAGED TO RECOMMEND the MAOF website to your friends and colleagues worldwide, particularly those who speak Russian. Those who do not enjoy the benefit of proficiency in the exquisite Russian language can find many thought-provoking and inspiring articles about Middle-Eastern and world affairs in the English section [2].

Sincerely,

Haim Goldman
28.10.2006
