Christians’ Israel Public Action Campaign
Richard A Hellman, President www.cipaconline.org
Since US policies have been inadequate and not supportive enough of Israel or of human rights in the Middle East, I agree with CIPAC in urging the Congress to develop new policies, oversee Administration actions and change foreign aid funding criteria, to address the new Middle East unfolding before our eyes in the media so as to:
* Uphold Israel’s right to secure borders surrounding all of historic Israel, including Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Gaza and the Golan.
* Promote the acceptance of Israel’s right to sit on the United Nations Security Council and other international governing bodies, like other nations, by such means as withholding US appropriations for the United Nations until Israel has full voting rights in that body, and work to see that UN Resolutions 242 and 338 are rescinded in support of Israel’s right to the Land.
* Stop funding UNWRA, the United Nations Works and Relief Agency, which runs camps throughout Israel, and the Middle East that are hotbeds of terrorism run by Hamas and other terrorist groups.
* Act to end U. S. – sponsored Middle East “peace talks” that advocate forming a Palestinian Arab state in the midst of historic Israel. The Two-State Solution does not address the main cause of peace and stability, since the Palestinian Arabs do not recognize the democratic rights of the Jewish people to exist in their historic homeland; nor does the Palestinian Constitution (nor does the Moslem Brotherhood, a major player in Egypt’s uprising now poised to be a political force, for that matter) recognize the right of the Jewish people to exist in their historic homeland.
* Recognize that a new Palestinian state will not further peace in the Middle East but help swing the balance of power against Israel, our only democratic ally, and therefore is at odds with U. S. democratic interests in that region and thus oppose any such new state in the heart of historic Israel, while the Palestinian Authority maneuvers for UN recognition of statehood with South American help, not ours.
* Guard against the wasteful spending of hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars that relocating the 600,000 Jews evicted from their homes and their replacement with Palestinian and Syrian Arabs under the Arab Peace Initiative would entail, based on the precedent of many billions given Egypt since it received the Sinai in the peace accords with Israel. More ominously, Americans, as NATO troops, would be required to police areas where Israelis are replaced by Palestinian and Syrian Arabs, thus potentially putting our forces in conflict with Israeli and Arab forces.
* Stop funding the training and equipping of a Palestinian Arab army, which has its only reason the furtherance of an anti-Israel Palestinian state, since by allowing rocket fire from Gaza into Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas show they are not real peace partners. As Palestinian municipalities are calling for a boycott of U. S. goods and the Palestinian Authority says it does not want U. S. funds, let’s accommodate them and cut out all such funding.
* Amend the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 to remove the president’s authority to take further six-month extensions instead of moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Israel’s capital.
* Support Israel’s right to self-defense against Iran’s leaders’ genocidal threats coupled with development of nuclear weapons to carry out such threats.
* Impose the toughest possible economic and diplomatic sanctions against Iran’s leaders, and demand as tough measures by the UN against them as have been imposed on Gadhafi, for their nuclear weapons program, genocidal threats against Israel, sponsorship of terrorism through Hezbollah (now also on our border in Mexico, not just the Middle East) and Hamas, and exports of arms killing US forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and other areas.
* Deny military aid to governments that do not share our democratic values, because such arms most likely will be used against Israel and America.
* Publicly disclose all US agreements with the regimes now collapsing throughout the Arab world, including 1979 Camp David Accords with Egypt, and other and with other nations that may go the same way.
*Reexamine and reconsider US agreements with every country that will not accept Israel’s legitimate right to exist.
* Deny economic assistance to foreign entities that boycott business dealings with Israel or will not recognize Israel.
* See that the United States is in the forefront of those establishing a foundation of new ground rules for civilized nations based upon mutual respect and proper respect for freedom and human rights.
* Reexamine and change US energy policies to ensure that we receive most of the energy we use from domestic production and from such safe sources as Canada and other friendly, democratic, stable nations.
We will look forward to your response as to how you will be implementing such policies and actions.

G-d Bless Richard Hellman and CIPAC!! When it comes to standing up for the truth and for Israel it is often righteous Christians that have the courage to speak out. This CIPAC statement contrasts with the mumbling and bumbling of the American Jewish leadership.
