There are very good reasons why this blog lists links to the daily war news.

(1) Each of these links represents either an Arab attack or an Israeli retaliation or counter-attack to wipe out a terrorist cell, a Kassam launch site; direct consequences of Israel’s leaving Gush Katif and handing it to the “pa (sic).” read more

Officials: Work to Protect Villages from Qassams Going Slowly

Excerpt;

Local officials say the work being done to brace communities targeted by Qassams from the Gaza Strip is proceeding too slowly. A lack of budgets for the work is being blamed for the situation.

Commentary;

For context regarding the budget surplus, click here. The Gush Katif Refugees have NOT been compensated, the Southern Negev Towns and the Caravilla towns have not been protected. The Caravillas are basically made of cardboard, there are few sealed rooms. Ashkelon, Ashdod, the Caravillas still basically unprepared, unprotected and faced with total disregard by the Olmert Regime. read more

Column One: The Rise of the Islamist Axis

Excerpts;

On Monday, Russia’s Novaya Gazeta newspaper reported that part of Ukraine’s Soviet-era nuclear arsenal may well have found its way to Iran.

According to Novaya Gazeta, some 250 nuclear warheads never made it to Russia and are thought to have been sent to Iran instead. The report further noted that the warheads will remain operational until 2010. read more

Zahar: PA is Willing to Talk About Two State Solution

Commentary;

This blog generally does not give coverage to the insane, maniacal mutterings of an avowed enemy who says one thing in English and another thing in Arabic, makes outrageous and bogus accusations against Israel such as that they sabotaged Gaza by first accusing Israel of contaminating the land in Gaza after the “disengagement”, then accusing Israel of starving them by keeping the crossings closed and now, most recently that the Jews are behind US Christianity, Danish Cartoons and 9/11. read more

Likud Rivalry Coming to a Head: New Primaries Imminent?; A Feiglin Surprise?

Likud Rivalry Coming to a Head as Shalom Plans Putsch

Excerpts;

“It’s inconceivable that the entire Likud leadership has left since Bibi came,” Shalom told Haaretz, and went on to name Dan Meridor, Yitzhak Mordechai, Roni Milo, David Magen, Avigdor Lieberman and Ariel Sharon.

“You have to ask why. His conduct is the problem; everyone left because of him.”

Comments;

Outrageous comments from Silvan Shalom worthy of infancy. Why does he lump in Yitzchak Mordechai, who resigned from politics over alleged harrassment charges? Avigdor Lieberman’s leaving Likud had nothing to do with Bibi, he left to form Yisrael Beitenu to contest with Yisrael B’Aliya. And funny, this author thought Arik Sharon is comotose after the second of two strokes and in capable of anything. Further, Sharon left Likud to form Kadima, not because of Bibi, but because of the Likud Rebels. As anyone will remember, Bibi voted for the expulsion right down the line, only opposing it in the end. read more

For Context, click here.

Full Text;

Chaim Cohen, representing a Yesha human rights organization, on Thursday submitted three complaints to Justice Minister Police Investigations Unit officials pertaining to brutality by police during the Amona expulsion.

Three youths allege police beat them without provocation or cause, with one stating he was treated in a hospital as a result of the force used against him.

Earlier in the month, a criminal indictment was handed down against mounted policeman David Edri after evidence gathered in the investigation supported claims that he used brutal force against innocent protestors without cause. read more
