Parents of a murdered Oleh make an urgent plea
Rabbi Dr. and Mrs. Sidney Z. Lieberman lost their only son, Hillel
Eliyahu Lieberman HY’D, who had fulfilled the "mitzvah" (religious
obligation) of making "aliyah". He was killed by an Arab terrorist.
Rabbi and Mrs.
Lieberman write this urgent plea to end the Annapolis process.
B.H.
We, the
corporate body of the Jewish nation, have been privileged with the
divine heritage of the Land of Israel, promised in an eternal covenant
to our forefather Abraham on Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, overlooking
Elon Moreh in Samaria. As the beneficiaries of this priceless treasure,
we cannot consider our Holy Land as a commodity on the international
exchange. The Almighty's gift may not be surrendered for a bowl of
porridge – a paltry sum of "payment," resulting from misguided vision
of wished-for tranquility. We, the children of Israel, are the
guardians of our Holy Land for all the generations to come until the
Final Redemption. This, then, is our sacred mission, never to be
forsaken. We must concentrate our efforts and gather our strength in
unity, to fulfill the objective of being a light unto the nations.
In the State of
Israel, we have created benefits for all humankind through the study
and teaching of Torah, which is G-d’s divine message for ethical
advancement of all societies. Moreover, we have shared with all nations
Israel's breakthroughs in state-of-the-art medical care, pharmaceutical
research, solar energy development, hydroponic farming and social
justice.
Our only son,
Hillel Eliyahu Lieberman HY'D, fulfilled the "mitzvah" (religious
obligation) of making "aliyah," thereby trailblazing in the true
pioneering spirit, the settlement of the Holy Land of Israel, just as
our American forefathers had created the first colonies of this young
nation in the Western hemisphere by building settlements (towns and
villages). Unfortunately, as a result of the mirage of the Oslo
Agreement's promises of peace that could not become a reality, a
violent "intifada" left him a victim of cruel, deceitful Arab terrorism
as he walked, wrapped in a prayer shawl on the Sabbath between Rosh
Hashana and Yom Kippur in the Year 2000, to his institution of higher
Torah learning, Yeshivat Od Yosef Chai, located in the Tomb of Joseph
in Shechem (a.k.a. Nablus), Samaria. Once again, the conferences
subsequently held on the Wye Plantation and more recently Annapolis
have pressured Israel with a false promise of "peace" to result from
surrounding, hostile neighbors" recognition of Israel, to surrender
slices of its tiny, vulnerable land, viewable from north to south and
east to west in a matter of minutes by aerial flight.
Our seven
orphaned grandchildren, who commute to high school and college via
Samarian highways, do not enjoy the sweet taste of the oft-promised
peace. They have been detained on their daily travel by explosives
planted by terrorists alongside the road, by burning tires that turn
bus drivers and passengers into "sitting ducks," by suspicious packages
blocking progress until a robot pulverizes the source of danger, and by
sirens alerting Elon Moreh residents of a terrorist climbing up the
Mountain of Har Kabir with a bomb wrapped inside the carcass of a sheep.
Surely, we
Americans of all faiths care about the safety and security of "our
children," locally and globally. Therefore, we are totally committed to
fighting terrorism – in this post-9/11 era – with strength, not
surrender; with backbone, not bending; with vigor, not veering off the
vector of our goal of true peace; instead of with "piece" offerings to
those who aim to murder freedom lovers throughout the world.
The Government
of Israel must resist any American governmental pressure, because such
interference will negate our mutual relationship of respect and honor,
and our mutual plan for global peace and prosperity, for free trade
zones and for a flourishing economy. Inadvertently encouraging violence
violates our shared purpose for the era of peace when "nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn warfare anymore"
(Isaiah).
Rabbi
Dr. and Mrs. Sidney Z. Lieberman
