Members of Hashkem are free to request their articles of import to the Jewish people be posted. If they are approved, the opinions expressed are those of the individuals and do not reflect any consensus, and certainly does not reflect the policy of the organization.
We advocate free press and open exchange of ideas. Presenting lies as the truth and the apparent mis-application of inferred power, and the twisting of accepted Jewish and Secular Law by any agency assuming the position as an advocate and agent of the Jewish People may be submitted for publishing. The common thread is encouraging Jews to take charge of their destiny and fully publish the complete truth for the entire Jewish People
by Prof. Ya'akov Peretz Golbert "In Israel, demonstrable prejudice, bad faith and abuse of power on the part of the criminal justice system have been too frequent to act as if this were a normal democracy."
by Shmuel Neumann, Ph.D. "the Israeli government is engaged in a morally, politically and strategically wrong act: It is does not assist, does not protect, and too often because of security claims or bureaucratic red tape does not allow Palestinian Arabs to leave the embattled towns of Gaza, Judea and Samaria. The policy is so perverse, many will find the preceding statement implausible. But it is a fact, and it must be changed immediately."
by Noam Federman, Esq. "people are summoned by the Police or the Security Agencies to undergo interrogations.The policeman in charge of the interrogation does not explain all the legal rights to the person called for interrogation. The average citizen at times admits to things he did not do, he incriminates his friends, he ties himself in legal knots resulting in criminal prosecutions, and at times he brings about his own arrest, prosecution and possibly even imprisonment. People, unaware of their full legal rights, brought on themselves various forms of legal restrictions during the recent months, house arrests, detentions etc. and at times even worse."
MEDIA ISSUES
Did the National Security Act of 1947 destroy freedom of the press? by Prof. Francisco Gil-White "The National Security Act (passed in 1947) allows US Intelligence to begin any action, at any time, without asking anybody. In addition, US Intelligence may postpone indefinitely any report of such activity simply by claiming that making the report would harm the "national security" of the United States. This is a recipe for absolute power…"
"It is no longer necessary -- or possible -- to deny the fact: the U.S. government systematically and deliberately recruited active Nazis by the thousands, rescued them, hired them and relied upon them to serve American interests and purposes in postwar Europe. The operations went on over many years, for reasons that seemed quite good at the time -- except that the American public was told that U.S. policy was to round up and punish (not entice and reward) those who had been instrumental in Hitler's crimes against humanity…This was no sleazy covert operation managed from the basement of the West Wing; it was a series of officially authorized missions, known to thousands of Americans, who assumed it was the way things had to be done, who have no apologies."

By Michael Freund: "With Gaza burning and Hamas having seized control, now is the time for
Israel to correct the mistake it made two years ago when it withdrew from the
area. Yes - that's right - Israel should take back Gaza now, as I argue in the
column below from the Jerusalem Post."
by Prof. Francisco Gil-White: "[George W.] Bush's family knew a lot about the Nazis. And guess what? Far from being enraged by Hitler's ambitions, they actively endorsed them. GW's grandfather, Prescott, was married to the daughter of George Herbert Walker, president of the Union Banking Corporation. Through this organization, both men helped German industrialists consolidate Hitler's political power. In 1942, the Roosevelt administration seized all the corporation's shares, including those held by Prescott Bush (by now a board member) under the Trading With The Enemy Act. The government made clear that huge sections of this business had operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted its war effort."

by Jared Israel:"By reconstructing the Nazi apparatus, the US Establishment put a Nazi stamp on US foreign policy, spat in the face of the victims of the Holocaust, guaranteed maximum hostility in the USSR, and had a major impact on domestic US politics as well."

The question of whether Israeli concessions is a positive step to further peace in the Middle East, or whether it only exacerbates existing conditions that will eventually lead to a regional war is answered by an important report of Congressman Jim Saxton (R-NJ), Chairman, of the Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, U.S. House of Representatives, entitled: "APPROACHING THE NEW CYCLE OF ARAB-ISRAELI FIGHTING."
by Professor Ya'akov Peretz Golbert:"Syria claims its negotiating
position vis-a-vis Israel is based on clear title and on the prohibition in the
UN Charter against acquisition of territory by force. The countries of the Arab
world echo the same position in support. Neither is correct." Old Jewish Agency
by Yrachmiel ben Menachem Mendel Elias "The JEWISH AGENCY FOR ISRAEL has ceased to do what it was created to do and has even begun to undo it in ways that are inimical to the People of Israel, whom it was founded to serve."
by Aron Klein, WND"Land in Jerusalem owned by a Jewish group and purchased primarily using Jewish donor funds has been used for the illegal construction of dozens of Palestinian apartment buildings, a refugee camp and a United Nations school..."
