Pathetic. If history has taught us Jews anything, it’s that appeasement and capitulation ensure our defeat and destruction.
“Due to the security situation and the instructions of the police, all trips planned for Judea and Samaria and east Jerusalem should be canceled from now until further notice.”
Islamic terrorism works.

Jewish Agency program bans travel to West Bank, parts of Jerusalem
The organization also told institutions in which Masa participants are placed that they cannot organize any trips to these areas.
By Jeremy Sharon, Jerusalem Post, December 16, 2018:
Masa Israel Journey has banned participants in its programs from visiting the settlements or anywhere in Judea and Samaria, and from east Jerusalem due to the current wave of terrorist attacks emanating from the region.
The organization also told institutions in which Masa participants are placed that they cannot organize any trips to these areas.
Masa has brought some 120,000 Diaspora Jews ages 18 to 30 to Israel on various programs in order to strengthen Jewish identity and affinity with Israel.
On Friday, the organization sent an email to institutions where Masa-funded participants are placed, saying, “Due to the security situation and the instructions of the police, all trips planned for Judea and Samaria and east Jerusalem should be canceled from now until further notice.”
Masa said there was “a total ban” on going to Judea and Samaria and east Jerusalem “as a group or privately” in any way.
A second email sent on Sunday clarified that travel through Area C of Judea and Samaria was permitted from Jerusalem eastward down Route 1 to the Almog Junction just southeast of Jericho, and from there southward to Ein Gedi, or northward along Route 90 to Tiberias.
It also noted that trips to the Jewish Quarter of the Old City and the Western Wall are permitted, but only through the Jaffa and Zion Gates, as well as trips to the City of David archaeological site just south of the Old City.

A senior official at an institution with students supported by Masa described the policy as “unfortunate and misguided,” and said the policy regarding students wishing to go to such areas in a private capacity was especially problematic.
“To tell students they can’t decide to travel to places that are under complete Israeli control, even to see family, friends and teachers, is inappropriate and sends our students, other Israelis and especially our enemies exactly the wrong message,” said the official.
“We feel particularly strongly about the idea of banning individuals who choose out of their own free will to go to places like Gush Etzion and Ma’aleh Adumim, which are as safe as other places in Israel and the rest of the world. Maybe we should ban Pittsburgh, Strasbourg and London next.”
The official conceded that he believed Masa’s concern was “solely for security and safety” and that “their heart is in the right place,” but said the new instructions were “teaching students that everywhere in Judea and Samaria is less Israeli and less secure, and that’s not true and it’s giving in to terrorism and is totally unwarranted.”
Masa said in response, “Masa’s procedures are determined in the organization’s regulations and vary according to the instructions of the authorities which direct Masa on safety and security issues. Masa is obligated to inform all bodies with which it works about these safety and security procedures and everything related to organized activities, as is the case in this instance.”
The organization declined to say if visits to neighborhoods in Jerusalem such as Ramot, Ramat Eshkol, French Hill, Har Homa and Gilo, which are over the Green Line, would be permitted.

Why not simply arm the students and other young adults with some nice Israeli developments. Have them travel in groups of three. Two should be given Galils and one should be given a Tavor. Walk three abreast, Tavor center. Then, tell them that if they see a moslem, shoot them on sight. The Masa tourists should be quite safe.

Whoever quotes Churchill once again testifies to his total ignorance of history.
Even if his “upvoters” circle him like a bunch of vultures, cause the “solidarity”
among losers is the only one they have (the principle of communism). Where
they are at “home”, one speaks of “echo chambers” and “filter bubbles”. In
nature such “autosexual self-fertilizers” would die out after one generation.

You can badmouth Churchill all you want, as you obviously have a hard-to-understand hatred of the man who lead the UK to victory during WW-II, but Churchill, and only Churchill, saw the entire picture regarding the survival of the UK, the appropriate strategy, the appropriate use of available resources, the timing of operations, and so on and so forth. I will continue to admire the man, regardless of what your slanted readings may provide.

I can fully understand Pamela’s position here, she feels badly let down by her own side as do I with the issues around T May.
What some may fear if a visit proceeds is a claim if an attack happens and people are injured, but the case remains, settlers live up there and manage the risk and managing risk has made Israel the success it is. Supporting your people fearlessly in the face of whatever adversity is there is a definition of bravery.
Those living in their homeland cannot afford the luxury of being snowflakes. Go with the “winners”, support your people.

Of course it works. Look at the US. They flew planes into the WTC and Pentagon, killing 3,000 people, and what happened? GWB proclaimed that “Islam is peace” and told us to be nice. Then muslims began arriving in the US on mass.

Since the slaughter of 3,000 of our people, it seems we have gone overboard to help the Muslims in their quest to invade and destroy the U.S., from within. Instead of making sure that 9-11 never happened again, the U.S. has set in motion rules that apply to non-Muslims, but not to Muslims.
This seems more than appeasement…it seems more like “surrender.”

Yes it is and it has sent a message to the world that says the more American citizens you kill the more you will help your cause compliments of the US government.
