Amnesty International Slams Israel’s ‘Unlawful Acts’

Excerpt;

The IDF killed 190 Palestinians, including 50 children. “Many were killed unlawfully, in deliberate and reckless shootings, shelling and air strikes in densely populated residential areas or as a result of excessive force,” AI charged.

Commentary;

Another expresssion of Israel MSM’s slanted, bias, anti-Israel reporting.

And what about Israel’s right to defend the Jews being shot and stoned drive-by terrorists and blitzed by Kassams and Katushyas? And what about her sensitivity toward civilians manifested in the nonsensical shelling of empty fields in order to save enemy civilian lives? read more

Rabbi: Minority Can’t Stop Next Pullout

Excerpts;

“There are those who say: ‘What if they come to evacuate us from our lands (in the West Bank); will we go like sheep to slaughter? We have no choice but to fight for the Land of Israel’. The answer to this is clear: Even if we will be successful in delaying this or that evacuation by applying force, there is no doubt this will lead to more force being applied against us – force that is stronger than ours,” he said. read more

Olmert’s Self-Imposed Hard-Way OJT …

United States to Present Olmert With ‘New Ideas’ to Advance Talks With PA

Excepts;

… A senior administration official said Sunday that the United States also has “new ideas for advancing the peace process,” and that American officials will present these ideas to Olmert during his visit. Among other things, it is necessary to bring “additional countries” into the circle of those supporting the peace process, the official said.

The administration, he added, will make it clear to Olmert that America believes the way to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is via the road map peace plan and direct negotiations with the Palestinian leadership. Yet at the same time, the administration recognizes that the current Hamas government “is not an address for negotiations,” and that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has not lived up to expectations – and may therefore not be able to serve as such an address either. read more

Journal: A Bitter End to a Dream Project

Excerpts;

In November, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice brokered a deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that called for the only goods crossing leading out of the fenced-in Gaza Strip, Karni, to remain open except in cases of exceedingly specific security threats.

Why Didn’t Shas Make Pollard’s Release a Precondition for Joining the Olmert Regime?

Rabbi Yosef to Olmert: Free Pollard

Commentary;

If Pollard’s release is so important to the Rav, why was it not made a precondition with teeth, to Shas’ joining the coalition? Why, only after joining the coalition, did Pidyan Sh’vuim: redeeming captured [Jews], become an important mitzvah?

Is Rav Yosef willing to tell Shas to leave the government if Olmert does not return with Jonathan Pollard? MB

Trying to Keep Israel Jewish

Commentary;

As this blog has presented often to date, the demographics problem is grossly exaggerated, overstated by at least 1/3 because of the government of Israel’s insistence on accepting “pa (sic)” demographic numbers as gospel. This acceptance comes despite independent analysis which has proven these “pa (sic)” numbers blatantly false. These blatantly false statics have also been accepted by the Efrat organization and pehaps even by such a highly regarded individual as Jonathan Rosenblum. read more
