From Naomi Ragen: Our ardent Zionist friend, Lori Lowenthal Marcus, President of Philadelphia's ZOA, has been instrumental in
starting a new organization to combat the pernicious influence of the far Left anti-Israel 'J Street.'. Her group is called 'Z (for
Zionist) Street.' Expect the full barrage of Counter attack from the enemies of Zion. Let us organize and say we did what we could
when others buried their heads in the sand. Background and positions of the organization:

Z street -- By Lori Lowenthal Marcus

There is a chilling scene in the 2002 movie "The Pianist." In it the train was already chugging along on the path to insanity and
destruction, but before all was destroyed. The family of the protagonist has been moved into the Warsaw Ghetto and the head of the
family is sitting at a table, reading a newspaper. He looks up and says, "I blame the American Jews."

He was talking to me. (...) I resolved then not to be our time's analog of a World War II American Jew -- you know, the ones who
read the newspapers, see what is happening to Israel, mutter "tsk, tsk" and turn the page. (...)

Z STREET is based on these ironclad positions:

The right of the Jewish people to a state, and the right of Jews to live freely anywhere, including inhaling oxygen in areas the
world insists are reserved for Arab Palestinians; (...) Categorical rejection of agreements with, or concessions to, terrorists (or
their supporters) who are dedicated to Israel's destruction.

Unlike other organizations that claim to be pro-Israel, Z STREET will not pander to politicians who invite us to their offices and
pay attention to our pocketbooks but ignore our positions. (...)

A fuel source previously untapped has been released: within days of the launch thousands clamored to our site, asking how to join
and how they can help. Z STREET already includes members from five continents and more than twenty states.News articles are being
written about Z STREET from the far right and the center, and we have been viciously denigrated and cartooned from the far left -
all of which is gratifying.(...)

A very few World War II Jews acted as catalysts for those who refused to be cowed. (...). This band of warriors, led by Peter
Bergson and Ben Hecht, staged marches, rallies and theater events. They refused to mimic the Jewish leaders who shrank from their
moral duty to demand the US government face the irrefutable facts of the plans, and then the execution of those plans, to murder
millions. It would be an honor for Z STREET to be compared to the Bergson Group.

I sleep better knowing that when my grandchildren ask me what I did to help prevent the destruction of Israel, I can tell them about
Z STREET with a clear conscience and a sense of pride. What will you say?

Naomi Ragen asks: Please join Lori and myself in gearing up for this battle: http://ziostreet.wordpress.com

New Obama appointee may hurt Israel

2009-02-27T00:08:00.000-05:00

From: US 4Israel

Please forward this email to pro-Israel friends in California, Georgia, Indiana, Maine, Montana, Maryland,Oklahoma & Utah. Thank
you.

News has broken of the impending appointment of Chas W. Freeman Jr. to the chairmanship of the National Intelligence Council.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/23/controversy-surrounds-possible-appointment-freeman-nic-chair/.

Freeman was U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1989-1992. Here are quotes (emphasis added) which are characteristic of his
hostile attitude towards Israel:

"Those in the region and beyond it who detest Israeli behavior, which is to say almost everyone, now naturally extend their loathing
to Americans." (speech at Washington Institute of Foreign Affairs in 2007)

"[T]he Jewish state continues to seize ever more Arab land for its colonists." speech for Middle East Policy Council, Oct. 4, 2007

"Israel excels at war; sadly, it has shown no talent for peace."
http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/3380291/an-american-addition-to-the-islamists-armoury.thtml

"Tragically, despite all the advantages and opportunities Israel has ... failed to achieve concord and reconciliation with anyone in
its region, still less to gain their admiration or affection."
http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/3380291/an-american-addition-to-the-islamists-armoury.thtml

Freeman has even blamed Israel for 9/11: "We have paid heavily...for our unflinching support ...of Israel's approach to managing
its relations with the Arabs. Five years ago (note: statement was made in 2006 -- 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers occurred in 2001)
we began to pay with the blood of our citizens here at home."
http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/3380291/an-american-addition-to-the-islamists-armoury.thtml

Ed Lasky, an editor at The American Thinker, termed Freeman "de facto Saudi Ambassador to America" because of his promotion of the
interests of Saudi Arabia and informed that: "He shares Board membership with executives from major multinationals with major
markets in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world..."
http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/2006/12/personnel_is_policy_the_case_o.html

There are two reasons for concern. One is with regard to the damage Freeman can do. As chairman of the National Intelligence
Council, Freeman would have the major influence on the intelligence briefings presented to the president (remember the damage caused
by the National Intelligence Estimate, the NIE, in 2007, which erroneously downplayed the dangers of Iran), and would be called upon
often to give direct briefings to the President.

The other reason for concern is what is implied by the appointment of Freeman. A president who seeks to maintain an Israel policy
that is even passively benign (not out to hurt Israel) simply does not select someone like Freeman to the top intelligence post --
someone like Freeman to depend upon for securing intelligence information.

It may not be too late to stop this. Also, silence now invites additional problematic appointments later. Please let members of the
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence know how concerned Americans are by the possible appointment of Freeman. Please, address
them with courtesy; some are very warmly predisposed to Israel. Phone or fax are better than email. Explain:

* Freeman's appointment would be detrimental to the true interests of the US and the Western world.

* Freeman would seriously undermine support for the only democracy, and the bastion of Western values, in the Middle East.

* Israel is at the forefront of the fight against radical jihadism, which is of concern to all democracies. Israel should not be
weakened, as Freeman would seek to do.

* Freeman's perceptions of Israel are badly skewed and dangerous.
