Melissa Gee in between Danielle Goodman and Moshe Beigel. The blonde girl might have been one of the Fox girls (from Poleg, near Netanya).

Betar UK Reunion

Between 1975 and 1977, I and my wife and two daughters, augmented by a third during the period, spent the time as emissaries to the newly reestablished Betar Zionist Youth Movement in the United Kingdom. The movement hadn't existed for a quarter of a century but through the efforts of Eli Joseph and others, with the support of the Herut President, Eric Graus, the movement arose in 1974 and I arrived a year and a bit later.

Branches were opened, winter and summer camps organized, and Israel trip, demonstrations, educational and cultural activities conducted, publications printed and much more.

I am glad to see that those who selected to come home to Israel are doing very well and that the Betar spirit and character is still strong among them all.

Sunday evening, Aug. 17, a reunion was held of those who made Aliyah or live here on a semi-permanent basis at the Regency Hotel (formerly the Hyatt).

In London This Coming Thursday?

Betar will be protesting outside the Iranian embassy on the evening of Thursday 15th January 2009.

Betar will be calling on Britain and the EU to end all Diplomatic relations with Iran and enforce sanctions against the Islamo-fascist regime. The Mullohcracy from Tehran is responsible for numerous terrorist atrocity whether perperetrated directly by its military and "Revolutionary Guards" or by its proxies it funds across the World. Iran has supplied Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and has threatened the sovereign rule of Israel and Lebanon. Iran has supplied missiles and weapons to Hamas terrorists and is responsible for the current attacks on Israeli civilians in the South by Hamas terrorists.

Iran is in violation of International law and has called for the destruction of Israel a member state of the UN.

The regime in Tehran represses its own people-qnd is the world's worst human rights abuser together with its ally Syria.

Betar and the Hebrew people support the ordinary people of Iran and hope that Israel, Great Britain and the entire Free World will work togther to bring down the Nazi-like regime in Tehran and ensure peace in the world and freedom at home for the Persian people.

Tel Hai.
