Dear Mr. President:

I write out of a heart of grief relative to our continued positions vis-à-vis the Hebrew people in the Land of Israel.

Mr. President, THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL said very plainly that He would BLESS THOSE who blessed the Hebrews and CURSE THOSE who cursed the Hebrews!

With all due respect, Sir, in my opinion, our actions in the ISLAMIC TERROR WAR relative to the Hebrews are placing a curse on the HEBREWS and, as a consequence (if the HOLY BIBLE IS TRUE, which I believe Sir, with all my heart that it is), a CURSE UPON THE USA.

The Hebrew People in Israel, Sir, are the very best friends we have in the Civilizational Struggle with Islamic Jihadists we are currently facing.

Mr. President, he who does not study History to learn how to face the future, is, in my opinion, Sir, a fool!

In the Summer of 1942, the situation of the British army in the Middle East was desperate. It had lost more than half its manpower and the better part of its mechanical equipment to the Desert Fox, Marshal Rommel, who, at the time, was stating that before six weeks was over he would be sleeping peacefully in the Shepherd's Hotel in Cairo.

While Rommel was putting the finishing touches on his preparations for the last battle, the bells of Berlin's churches (that’s 100% correct, Mr. President) were ringing in anticipation of the fall of Cairo and Jerusalem.

Francisco Franco had his Falangists demonstrate under the windows of the British Ambassador in Madrid and shout their master's disdain for the rocking Empire of Britain with the cry: "Gibraltar! Gibraltar!"

Over in Paris, ces messieurs of the French General Staff and the New Nazi order, the Deats, Petains, and Peyroutons, who had brought in the Nazi Armies to put an end to what Weygand once called "all this democratic nonsense," rubbed their hands in satisfied glee as their former comrades (The Brits) appeared to be on their last legs.

England was silent in the summer of 1942, but, Sir, it was her greatest hour.

The crux of their desperate situation lay in the Middle East, and there, Sir, an ominous and sinister stillness prevailed at the British Army's back.

Young King Farouk of Egypt and his ministers had refused to lift one little finger in the defense of their invaded country. All Egypt was in ecstasy with the Nazi Victories taking place at the time.

In Palestine (the Hebrew Land is called that in Deuteronomy 30), the effendis (landed aristocrats) were telling the Arabic fellahin (peasants): "Now go over and sell your land to the Jews and be quick about it, for, in a month, Hitler will be in Jerusalem, and you will not only have your land back, but also everything the Jews possess. Let the knives be sharpened! The great day is about to dawn! The Jews’ protector is beaten."

Twenty-four hours a day, Sir, the radio stations of Bari, Palermo, and Berlin were screaming the promises of Mussolini — the "Sword of Islam" — in the Arabic language: "Loot immeasurable! Death to the English and to the Jew."

The two honored guests of Adolph Hitler – the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Effendi el-Husseini, and the ex-premier of Iraq, Rashid Ali-al-Gallani Bey – announced their expected speedy return and settlement of old scores.

In the Mosques of Baghdad, Cairo, Amman, Jerusalem, Damascus, and Mosul, a careful investigation revealed the ulema and muftis time and again working up the believers to a frenzy of excitement by pointing to the nearness of the hour of quittance in blood with all the "roumis and infidels."

When you look at a map of 1942, Sir, you find 10,429 square miles in the little country then called Palestine; but, in the surrounding nineteen Arab countries, you find 7,114,927 square miles.

And then, Sir, as now, the reality in the Arab world is to say the princes, potentates, imams, mullahs, and emirs were preparing to stab Britain and the USA in the back.

When Rommel stood at El Alamein, and looked as if he might carry the day, King Ibn Saud had not a word to say and could not spare a single trooper, camel, donkey, or horse! But, when the Allies carried the day, he suddenly declared himself an ally of Britain and America.

The imam of Yemen had to be watched constantly. Both their princes received subsidies from the British government to help keep the peace.

In Iraq, at the War College in Baghdad, instructors and students had failed to turn over the Mosul oil fields to the Nazis. One year later, they were still lamenting their failure to establish contact with the Nazi paratroopers during the previous revolt.

After the defeat of the instructors and students of the War College in the effort to turn over the Mosul oil fields to the Nazis, they were still lamenting their failure to establish contact with Nazi Paratroopers at the previous revolt.

Africa and Asia were the essence of the Greater Germany's Lebensraum. These two continents, renamed by the Nazis "Eurafrica and Eurasia" in Nazi geo-political strategy, were principal bids in Germany's goal of World Power.

Churchill personally telegraphed the Middle East British Authorities to construct a set of Bridges across the Tigris and Euphrates, should the Nazis break through on the Nile, on the Volga, and in the Caucasian Mountains near Baku and Tifflis. If those events happened, Britain’s armies needed escape routes.

Sir, the same Hebrew, who built a Bridge over the Danube, a bridge over the Moldau in Czechoslovakia, and also the subway in Berlin, found the materials and built those bridges.

Hebrew Commander Osterman-Averni led Jewish commandos to take Bardia on the Libyan shore with only eighty-five men, capturing several thousand Italians.

Twenty German-speaking Hebrews dressed up in Afrika Korps uniforms and went out to the Nazi lines to find out German plans. Only one of the twenty survived.

Moshe Dayan was trained by Captain Orde Wingate in 1936. They established Colony Hanita (Colony Spearhead). In 1940, he was freed from a British jail to lead a group of fifty Hebrews to take Fort Gouraud from the Vichyites, who had Somalis employed as mercenary soldiers at the fort. Twenty-eight of his men were killed.

A bullet struck Dayan's field glasses and drove the instrument into his eye. It put his eye out.

There was a Hebrew battalion among the defenders of Tobruk during the long seige.

It was Major Richard Perach, a Hebrew from Talpiot, who led the battalion which turned the flank of the famous Mareth Line.

Hebrew task-forces landed in Tobruk and helped capture the city as they had captured Bardia earlier.

It was Hebrew General Frederick Kisch, who organized and supervised the immense undertaking of Montgomery's supply in the battles of Egypt and on the 1300-mile trek through Libya and Cyrenaica, where he was killed at the gates of Bizerte.

Hebrew engineers organized and manned the coastal defenses all up and down the Mediterranean.

Entire Hebrew families in Palestine enlisted in the British services – fathers, sons, mothers, and daughters.

The Hebrew Coast Guard ran one hundred speed boats between Cyprus, Palestine, Egypt, and Libya.

Twenty-five hundred (2,500) Palestinian Hebrews (that’s the correct usage of the word Palestinian) served in the Royal Air Force as pilots, bombardiers, and observers.

Six thousand (6,000) Palestinian Hebrews served in the ground crews.

Hebrew engineers constructed Montgomery's impregnable forts at El Alamein.

At Keren, Hebrew soldiers took 2,500 Nazi prisoners in an extremely tough and courageous action.

Shmaryahu Weinstein, a Palestinian Hebrew, was the hero of the Battle of Keren, saving a whole company of South Africans by sacrificing his life.

P.M. Peter Fraser, New Zealand, said that his country and Australia were proud of the way the Palestinian Hebrews stood shoulder-to-shoulder with New Zealanders and Australians in the "hottest engagements" in Greece, Crete, and Eritrea.

From Palestine, three thousand Hebrews went back to their national countries and joined those armies — Holland, France, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

The Hebrews contributed more effectively to the repulse of our common Nazi enemy than did the fifty-times-larger populations of the Arab countries combined.

In June 1942, Sir, Hebrew Major Felix Liebman, with a company of 500 Jewish Engineers, pulled the Free French Forces First Brigade’s chestnuts out of the fire at Mechili, Bir Hacheim in Libya.

The Hebrews knocked out some 26 Nazi tanks one day, 41 another day, and over 100 total. They endured 14 days and their number went from 500 to only 90.

Ten more days passed. Their water supply was knocked out; so, in the desert, their water ration was one pint per day per man. Two men went out of their minds on June 25, two more the next day, and three men rushed off shrieking into the desert the next day.

On July 1, only forty Hebrews were left. The Free French withdrew from Bir Hacheim. General Koenig of the Free French walked up to Major Liebman and embraced him, "Vous avez tenu bon, jusqu'au bout." (You held out ‘til the end.) The General could not refrain his tears.

A Hebrew soldier took down the blue and white flag of Zion. General Koenig saw him and asked a question. Major Liebman explained, "Sir, the British won't permit us to fly this flag."

"Pardon," said General Koenig, "I am in command here. Je m'en fous pas mal des re'gulations, [I don't care a d— about regulations...That flag goes on my car in front, next to the (French) tricolor. That's where it belongs.] Nous sommes victorieux, tous les deux [We have both come through victoriously!]"

Turning to his men, the French General Koenig shouted: "Legionnaires! Le drapeau juif! Salut! [Legionnaires, the Jewish flag! Salute!]"

Mr. President, you and your Secretary of State would both do the future of the USA, ISRAEL, AND THE FREE WORLD a favor to read history about the Hebrew People to understand where their "COLORS" belong in OUR ISLAMIC TERRORIST WAR.
