UNM Israel Alliance

The war is coming, but it is a war from within just as much as a war from without. Self-perception defines Israel’s posture as she stands against a massive array of enemies who seek to destroy her body andher soul. Should Israel appease or stand tough, compromise or stand alone? What is the practical approach? Do realpolitik and pragmatism conflict with idealism, nationalism, and patriotism? Is the United States helping or hindering Israel’s survival? What is the future of Jerusalem, Bethel, Hebron and Tel Aviv?

Join Yishai Fleisher as he tackles Israel’s unique challenges and articulates a vision for a winning direction forward. If you care about Israel, you won’t want to miss this talk!

Why can’t we all just get along? Why not peace instead of war? For Israel these two songs give the main reason. Here is a popular Israeli song, with a common theme. Other songs are about life and love, like most other people’s songs. You won’t find Israeli songs about murder and suicide and the joy of killing Arabs. Listen to the Palestinian song. It’s very typical, you can find many samples like this among popular Arab songs, and many are more violent than this one.

Do you want peace? First, define peace. There are many kinds of peace…the peace of the grave, the peace of complete victory, the peace of having nothing left to lose, the peace of living together in unity. Unless both sides in a conflict want the same kind of peace, peace will only come with victory. For that to change, the Palestinians will have to change their goal. Listen and consider.
