All armed confrontations are horrendous without exception. But when Israel is the protagonist there is a disproportionate chain reaction in the whole world.

Only in the last year in different parts of the world countless people have been killed: demonstrators in Venezuela, Turkey, Egypt and Libya, tens of thousands of Syrians (among them thousands of Palestinians) have been exterminated with chemical weapons in Syria, entire communities have been massacred in Afghanistan and Sudan, in Iraq, Pakistan and Nigeria; victims of terrorist attacks total hundreds and there was a record number of people hanged in Iran, accused of offences such as homosexuality, that in the civilized world are not considered such.

In front of all these atrocities, together with conflicts like that of Ukraine and Russia and many others in the world, the answer is silence. Ordinary people and even their political leaders recognize that they do not really understand what it is all about and respond with indifference in front of such humanitarian catastrophes.

July 27th in the sunny and cold winter afternoon of Montevideo, at the gorgeous avenue of Pocitos, took place a manifestation on favor of Israel in its military confrontation with the terrorist organization Hamas. The “Zioniost Uruguayan Federation” and the “Uruguyan Zionist Organization” called to solidiarize with Israel, appointment that attended thousands of Uruguayans, with flags of both countries Uruguay and Israel.

With the leading of the president of this federation Michel Grauser, spoke in the name of both institutes Mr. Sergio Dodel president of the “Uruguyan Zionist Organization”, who expressed: “we came here to manifest our support to the State of Israel in its war against Hamas”.

During the applause he explained that: “Israel is not attacking, it is defending… Their goal is to stop the rain of missiles and to accomplish that it has to damage the terrorist infrastructures and missiles launchers. And it is doing this by adopting every possible measure to avoid civilian victims. We are profoundly sorry about this human tragedy; it affects us each and every one of the victims of both Israeli and Palestinian. But we have to emphasize that the responsibility of this war, and victims that we cry for, lies on who did everything to provoke it.

Israel uses their weapons to protect the civilians, while Hamas uses the civilians to protect their weapons”. The words of Dodel were interrupted in many opportunities by cheers and applause of approval on the message.

Before the cameras of all TV channels of the country, Dodel conclude saying: “Israel always kept one hand stretched for peace and good neighborliness. Unfortunately it had to wield back to defend and persevere its existence. Jewish people, faithful to their ideals, won’t give up peace. It will perseveringly continue to pursue their dream: a future of peace, for our children, for life!”.

At the behest of local news, Gerardo Stuczynski, voicer of O.S.U. for the event, answered all questions about the feelings of the Jewish community of Uruguay, the situation of the Uruguayan community living in Israel and he clarified on the sad occurrences that develop at the area, explaining the true reasons of the conflict and its development.

After seeing publicity about a proposed “motorcade” of the “Buraq Riders” planning to drive through the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, it was clear that these Muslim bikers intended to drive through the traditionally Jewish suburbs of Johannesburg on Shabbat, when many Jews usually are strolling the streets with their families after attending shul.

Likud Branch in Holland : organized a rally in support of Israel with thousands of participants. During the rally everyone began to sing HavaNagila (watch film clip).

Likud Branch in Australia : held a demonstration in support of Israel at the new Betar branch in Melbourne. 

Likud Members in South Africa : organized a rally in support of the IDF and the operation in the Gaza Strip.

The Likud branch in Russia held an event in support of the kidnapped teenagers and our IDF soldiers.

The event took place at two venues: in front of the Palestinian Mission and then in the streets of Moscow to raise awareness and support for the kidnapped youngsters. The people they met voiced their support for the immediate release of the teenagers and for continuing the fight against terrorism.

World Likud members throughout the world are working hard to increase solidarity and are hoping for the quick and safe return of our boys.

Prime Minister Netanyahu has demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish State. In view of the repeated refusal to do so by the Palestinians, President Shimon Peres had no better idea than to claim that said recognition is unnecessary.

However, this is not a question of semantics; it is a substantial issue. When confronted with the illness, Peres is satisfied eliminating the symptoms. But if the diagnosis is accurate, the medication that conceals the symptoms can turn out to be deadly if it allows the real illness to develop.

It was not Netanyahu the person who introduced this requirement. Ehud Olmert, his predecessor, who belonged to the same party and had differences concerning his negotiating position, also demanded such recognition in the Annapolis talks.
