Putin: Hamas Not a Terror Organization
Excerpts;
“Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a press conference in Madrid Thursday that he intends on inviting the leaders of the Palestinian terror group to Moscow, Itar-Tass news agency said.”
“Hamas politburo Khaled Mashaal welcomed the Russian initiative saying group representatives will travel to Moscow should Putin address an official invitation.”
“He added that Russia’s position ‘will lead to a certain equilibrium’ in international relations especially that ‘America’s influence has started to wane because of numerous impasses in which the American administration is entangled.’”
Parsha Beshalach: Experiencing Our Brother’s Difficulties
by, Moshe Burt
Our Parsha opens by stating; “It happened when Pharoh sent out the people that Hashem did not lead them by the way of the Philistines, because it was near, for Hashem said, ‘Perhaps the people will reconsider when they see a war, and they will return to Mitzriyim.'” (Sefer Sh’mos, Perek 13, posuk 17)
Torah Gems cites a vort from R’ Baruch Abba Rakowsky on words of the posuk; “Perhaps the people will reconsider when they see a war, and they will return to Mitzriyim.”
Amona Probe Aims to Draw Conclusions by Elections
Full Text;
“Right wing figures said on Thursday that the parliamentary investigative committee set up on Wednesday to look into the violence in Amona last week would aim to present their conclusions before the March 28 elections.”
“Such a deadline appeared quite unusual as this type of committee generally functions for years before any conclusions are drawn, Army Radio reported.”
“If the probe does not complete its work by the elections, it would have to be re-formed by the new government that will be sworn in.”
Death of the Demographic Demon
Excerpts;
“Commentators spoke about the achievement of the Hamas, feature writers described the atmosphere of democratic celebration in the streets of Ramallah, but the most important headline was missed by everyone: one million, three hundred thousand. That is the number of eligible Palestinian Authority voters in Samaria, Judea, Gaza and Jerusalem. All together, including everyone – 1.3 million. ”
“In Israel, in contrast, the number of eligible voters is more than five million. In short, we’ve been fooled. We were presented a demographic demon that never existed. ‘Between the sea and the Jordan River,’ they menaced us, ‘there is already almost an equal number of Israelis and Palestinians. Soon, they will be the majority.’ The very same week of the PA elections, several prestigious speakers even repeated that mantra at the Herzliya Conference. ”
Mr. Double Standard?, Evelyn Gordon
Excerpts;
“Anyone bewildered by last Wednesday’s violence at Amona ought to read the High Court of Justice ruling on Azmi Bishara issued that same day. Most people undoubtedly consider violence immoral. But when no less an institution than the Supreme Court proclaims that advocating violence constitutes part of a Knesset member’s legitimate duties, it is hardly surprising that a minority has become convinced that Israeli society condones and rewards it.”
