As we approach the Passover holiday, we celebrate the centuries old victories of the Jewish people over the Pharoahs who would destroy them. Today, a new Pharoah has risen “who does not know Joseph,” and is joining with our Arab enemies in a program to destroy Israel. We know that the Jewish nation will survive as it has for 3000 years; however, in the process, many precious lives are lost and a great deal of suffering is inflicted on the good people of Israel.
Below, please see the report from Arutz Sheva on the latest tragedy. We mourn the deaths and wounding of our brave Israeli soldiers. Our hearts go out to the families. We pray that they will know no more sorrows. We also pray that the Israeli government will not add to the suffering of the families by continuing with the threats to destroy their homes.
As part of your Passover prayers, please call President Obama at the White House: 202-456-1111, and Secretary of State Clinton: 202-647-6575, and tell them that their pressure on Israel to negotiate with terrorists is intolerable.
Also call or email Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu: 011-972-3-610-9898; pm_eng2@it.pmo.gov.il; memshala@pmo.gov.il and tell him to remove the threat of demolition by the Israeli government from Jewish homes. It is unconscionable to desecrate the memory of Jewish heroes by destroying their homes and leaving their families homeless.
These deaths of Israeli soldiers are the direct result of the actions of Mr. Obama, Mr. Biden and Mrs. Clinton’s attacks and rebuff of Israel which is perceived by their Arab friends as an endorsement to attack Israel also:
Two IDF Soldiers Killed in Gaza Incident
by David Lev Two IDF Soldiers Killed in Gaza
Two IDF soldiers were killed on Friday in an incident near Kibbutz Kissufim on the Gaza border: Major Eliraz Peretz, 31, from Eli, and Staff Sergeant Ilan Sviatkovsky, 21, from Rishon Letzion. Two other soldiers were injured in the incident, one seriously and one lightly.
A unit of Golani troops crossed the border into Gaza in pursuit of a gang of terrorists who were planting explosives along the border, in an effort to ambush IDF patrols. Soldiers feared that the terrorists, taking advantage of the poor weather, would try to infiltrate the border and sneak into Israel in order to carry out terror attacks against Israeli civilians. An IDF investigation said that the terrorists got close to the soldiers and were able to shoot at them from close range in the fog, with one bullet apparently hitting a hand grenade one of the soldiers was carrying. The grenade exploded, killing the two soldiers. Two of the terrorists were killed, as well.

This soldier who is now a hero is having his home destroyed by the actions of Mr. Obama, Mr. Biden and especially Mrs. Clinton, simply because he is Jewish and lives in a community where the above three don’t want Jews to live because they want to give it to their Arab friends:
Home of IDF Soldier Killed in Gaza Set to Be Demolished
by David Lev Hero’s Family to be Evicted
The home of Major Eliraz Peretz, who was killed Friday when his IDF unit pursued a gang of terrorists into the Gaza region, is set to be demolished by May 1 at the latest, thanks to an order by the High Court which gave the state a deadline for carrying out the decision in a suit brought by the leftist Peace Now organization. MK Danon has promised to prevent the decision from being carried out, but so far it stands.
Peretz’s home is located in the Givat Hayovel neighborhood of Eli, termed an “illegal outpost” by the court. Peretz’s home is two doors down from the home of another IDF hero killed in battle; the family of Ro’i Klein, who was killed saving members of his battalion during the Second Lebanon War, is also set to be evicted, thanks to the court’s order.
…
Miriam Peretz, the mother of Eliraz, said that her son was “the salt of the earth, a child who loved and embraced others, a child who raised his own family here in Israel. Four of my sons were Golani soldiers. I don’t know much about the Golani units, but I do know that G-d loves them, that He loves the Golani soldiers of the Peretz family, and that He loves Eliraz, who was a hero.
“He didn’t go to battle to get himself killed, but to ensure that I and the Jewish nation could continue to live here,” she said. Eliraz, who was the regiment’s deputy commander, is the second member of the Peretz family to be killed in battle. On November 25, 1998, Peretz’s brother, Uriel, was killed when his Golani unit was attempting to neutralize several explosive devices planted by Hizbullah terrorists. Eliran left behind a wife and four children, including a two month old infant.
