January 1, 2009 Emergency Briefing by Mishmeret Yesha

Dear Israel Supporters!

We have just received a phone briefing from Mishmeret Yesha's Director
of Operations, Mr. Yisrael Danziger.
I transcribe it below from memory as bet I can.

As you may already have heard, the head of Hamas in Damascus has
officially proclaimed the current conflict the "Third Intifada". The
roads in Yehuda and Shomron are being rocketed and land mined. The IDF
security coordinators have warned Mishmeret Yesha leaders of
intelligence for a possible 60 terrorist attacks. The mainstream media
will not inform you of explosions on the roads of Yesha due to a
chronic case of political correctness.

The IDF Army Corps of Engineers Unit has placed an emergency request
to Mishmeret Yesha for special bulletproof vests for the Caterpillar
operators that have to enter Gaza FIRST. They are the ones on the
forefront of the whole Gaza operation. Mishmeret Yesha has received a
number of emergency requests for Medic and other bulletproof vests.

WE URGE ALL SUPPORTERS OF ERETZ YISROEL TO COME TOGETHER AND SUPPORT THE SAFETY OF ISRAEL'S CITIZENS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR LIVES. WE ASK YOU HOLD EMERGENCY COMMUNITY MEETINGS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MISHMERET YESHA'S EFFORTS.

Some possibilities include a live phone conference with Mr. Danziger
for an event, or even a personal visit just for the cost of paying his
airfare to your community.

Mr. Danziger can be reached in Israel at
011-972-52-468- 9991 Mobile
011-972-2-624- 6885 Fax

Mr. Danziger's e-mail address is guards24(at) zahav.net. il, but there's
no telling when he'll be able to get to his e-mail. He often crawls
into bed, exhausted after long, grueling days of handling emergency
situations for Yesha's residents. As he always says: "The type of
stuff we have to deal with in a day, some people don't deal with in
their lifetime."

As the US Representative of Mishmeret Yesha, I can be reached at (650)
992-0512 or alex(at)clubmaoz. org. I will mail/e-mail you all the
materials about Mishmeret Yesha's history and current projects (help
with designing a website is desperately needed as well).

The donations can be mailed to

Jerusalem 94261

or to

PO Box 100566
