Israel and The Sin of Expulsion
The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
Suicide Accounts for 1/2 of IDF Fatalities in 2005
Excerpts:
“The army has issued tighter restrictions on soldiers’ weapons because 33 soldiers committed suicide this year …”
“Brig.-Gen. Avi Zimer … gave the information as part of the IDF’s annual fatalities report. The number of suicides accounted for half of the 66 fatalities in the 2005 report, marking a jump from 2004 of 28 suicides.”
What is not being disclosed to the public is how many of these 33 suicides occured post-expulsion. MB
Newsweek Stands By Quotes on Dividing Jerusalem
Excerpt;
“Newsweek Magazine issued a statement Wednesday backing its article which states that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon intends to cede part of Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority (PA). The Prime Minister, in a speech at a traffic safety conference Wednesday, harshly denounced the report as ‘lies and incitement.'”
This Author’s money, what little there is of it, is on Newsweek and on the pollster. As for the Prime Minister, C’mon Arik, “Make my day!” Sue Newsweek, like you did after the camps!! MB
Apparently now, there is two-fold panic in Likud. One is either real or feigned fear of Sharon’s “Kadima (sic)” and the other is that of the corrupt “old boys” who are petrified that Moshe Feiglin may win the Primary, lead Likud to a Jewish Leadership victory in the March National Elections and crumble some patronage empires in the process. MB
There are tens of thousands of Jews sitting on the fence waiting to see the results of the Likud Primary vote. A Feiglin victory in Likud will thrust him into the National Elections with a victory and the Prime Ministership a real possibility.

Excerpts;
“Upon seeing the news from Israel earlier this week, I was met with the headline that Defense Minister Sha’ul Mofaz became the latest Likudnik to jump ship and join Kadima. The fact that he made this move didn’t surprise me in the least, nor did it disappoint me in the slightest. I had been concerned all along that he was merely serving the role of an Ariel Sharon mole, whose sole purpose was to help Sharon win re-election.”
“There was one point in Mofaz’s act that did make me take note, and that was his attempt to sneak in a cheap shot against Moshe Feiglin before making his dramatic departure. Mofaz is not the first of the Likud renegades to take a poke at Feiglin. In fact, Feiglin has become the favorite target of many former Likudniks who seem to have this irrational fear of Feiglinism taking over the Likud. That is a very interesting phenomenon given the poll numbers, which give Moshe Feiglin less than 15% of the vote. So, there obviously must be much more to it than just poll numbers.”
PM Denies Report He Would Compromise on J’lem
Excerpts:
“Prime Minister Ariel Sharon published a special statement Tuesday night in which he totally dissociated himself from quotes in Newsweek attributed to his pollster, Kalman Gayer, in which Gayer claimed the prime minister was ready for territorial concessions.”
“‘The remarks attributed to Kalman Gayer are in total contradiction to my positions and opinions,’ Sharon’s statement read. ‘If, indeed, these remarks were made, they were made strictly on Mr. Gayer’s initiative, and they are senseless and absurd.'”
American Jewish Leaders Betray Gaza’s Jews
Excerpts;
“The majority of American Jewish leaders should be held accountable for gross misconduct, because their callous indifference to human suffering and injustice now amounts to criminal negligence. Speaking in the name of the Jewish community, this leadership has violated Jewish religious teachings to bear witness to the truth and to show compassion for the persecuted. The latest victims of their criminal negligence are the Jewish expellees from Gaza. They are Jewish refugees, suffering immensely, and unnecessarily, inside their own country. Ariel Sharon committed the crime and this leadership provided silent acquiescence. For too long, this failed Jewish leadership has not been held accountable.”
