Talk:The Jewish Task Force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jewish Task Force is an organisation based in New York which claims to raises funds to defend existing settlements, and promote new settlements by Jews in the land they term Judea and Samaria on the West Bank of the Jordan River. The JTF has two weekly television shows which both air twice on QPTV, a Queens, New York public access cable TV station. JTF used to air in Manhattan on Manhattan Neighborhood Network cable television but was taken off the air because of hate speech in June 2000. It was founded by Chaim Ben Pesach, a former National Chairman of the Jewish Defense League who was convicted of terrorism after tear-gassing the Lincoln Center and serving 5 and a half years of a 10 year sentence. Like the JDL the JTF is a Kahanist organisation.
The principal allies of the JTF in Israel are the Hilltop Youth (supporters of Noam Federman) and the Chayil Party under Baruch Marzel. It has strongly criticized Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as a 'Bolshevik dictator' and specifically opposes his policy of withdrawing from the Gaza Strip. Chaim Ben Pesach presents most of the JTF's broadcasts, with assistance from David Ben Moshe and Yosef Ben Meir. While the JTF primarily seeks funds from Jews, it also appeals to those it terms 'Righteous Gentiles' who also support its aims. JTF makes no efforts to recruit members, but focuses almost entirely on fund raising from their website and Cable programs.
The JTF is a highly controversial organisation and has frequently been accused of racism for its tirades against Blacks, Hispanics and Arabs. JTF is listed in the "Hate Directory" posted on the US Embassy's website for Bolivia [1]. The organization believes Islam is an evil religion and spends much of his time insulting Arabs and Islam on his programs.
[edit] JTF's Seven-Point Plan
The JTF's policy for the United States is given in their "Seven-Point Plan", which is published on their website.
-
- A ferocious retaliation against all Muslim nations which have in any way aided or abetted terrorism against American citizens.
- The immediate destruction by the American or Israeli military of all Muslim nuclear reactors, plants and laboratories developing nuclear, chemical and/or biological weapons of mass destruction.
- Total energy independence for America through a crash development program funded in the defense budget as a vital national security priority.
- An immediate end to all U.S. foreign aid, even to a genuine friend and ally like Israel, which is harmed rather than helped by her counterproductive dependency on America's addictive welfare handouts.
- An immediate end to all foreign immigration into the United States, combined with the complete expulsion of America's millions of illegal aliens and the stringent removal of her legal ones at the expiration of their work or residency visas.
- An immediate recognition by the United States of little Israel’s G-d-given right and obligation to assert full and permanent sovereign control over all sacred Jewish Biblical lands, including Judea, Samaria, the Gaza District, the Golan Heights and eastern Jerusalem.
- An immediate withdrawal from the fanatically anti-American United Nations (UN) and all organizations directly or indirectly affiliated with it, and the immediate banning of all UN-related activities on American soil.
