Month: February 2006

This past Thursday, Barak at IRIS Blog posted selected quotes from a column written by Evelyn Gordon, Kadima: The Teflon Political Party.

These two IMRA articles below are companions for the Gordon article in that, just as when Mofaz, during the run-up to the expulsion in Gush Katif told “… his generals that working too vigorously to fortify Negev communities will weaken public support for the disengagement”, “… in the 20 months since then, not only has the work not been completed; in most communities, it has not even begun.” read more

Jonathan Pollard and the Bent-Over Jews, by Boaz Moshkovich – Israelinsider – February 1, 2006

Excerpt;

“Only a cowardly Jew, who has acquired a hunchback from frequent prostrations before the feudal lords, could have spurned Jonathan Pollard’s request that he be recognized as a prisoner of Zion. The reasons advanced by the inseparable Siamese twins the state and the High Court of Justice are cheap bureaucratic arguments. If they believed that we would be persuaded by these arguments that Pollard is unworthy of the title, they are apparently insulting our intelligence even more than we had previously imagined. Maybe this in itself constitutes the sole innovation in the court’s decision: they have again discovered a way to descend to a baser level.” read more
