Israel Deliberately Understating Palestinian WB Rocket Threat?
Excerpts;
Analysts say publicity about missiles could damage PM Olmert’s withdrawal plan. National Religious Party MK Effie Eitam: ‘Any West Bank withdrawal will be followed by rockets fired at major Israeli cities.’
According to some intelligence officials, Israel has been deliberately
minimizing the threat of rocket attacks by Palestinian terror groups in the West Bank, parts of which are within rocket firing range of Jerusalem and other major Israeli cities.
Commentary;
Readers of this blog have undoubtedly taken notice of each day’s lengthy list of war news headline links. They may seem to be monotonous, duplication, redundancies, etc.
However each of these events is unique unto itself, yet part of the whole, and affects human beings, our Jewish brethren both here in Israel and throughout the world. More often than not, both in Israel and throughout the world, MSM omits them, both individually and collectively, from the public consciousness both in terms of the impact of the individual event as well as the cumulative effect of the quantity of daily war events. And friends, this is a War, and should be fought as War, and not as a game for personal enrichment, power, aggrandisement as well as an excuse and vehicle for hatred of, bias against and persecution of religious Jews as the current succession of regimes, Rabin, Peres, Netanyahu, Barak, Sharon, Sharon 2 dealt with matters, and how Olmert appears content to handle matters.

Court Allows Completion of Fence in Shavei Shomron Area
Full Text;
The High Court of Justice today authorized the completion of the separation barrier protecting the area of the Samaria community of Shavei Shomron. The court affirmed that the completion of the fence is an imperative security need, in light of Shavei Shomron’s exposure to Palestinian Authority infiltrators following Israel’s August withdrawal from northern Samaria.
The High Court rejected the arguments put forth in the petition against the fence by representatives of the Arab villages near the Jewish town. The village representatives claimed that continuation of the fence construction will cause irreversible damage to their residents’ olive groves.

Court: Kassam Attacks No Basis for Relocating Expulsion Victims
Full Text;
The Supreme Court Wednesday rejected an appeal from expulsion victims who demanded that the government provide them with housing that is free form Kassam rocket attacks. The justice said the government is obligated to provide compensation and housing, without taking responsibility for locating the former Gaza area residents in areas free from Kassam rocket attacks.
However, Justice Aharon Barak added that although the government does not have a legal obligation to relocate the victims, it should consider options other than the area of Karmiya, which has been besieged by the same rockets which beleaguered the residents before their expulsion from the Gaza region. “We have not ignored the dire state of the petitioners,” said Justice Barak.

The positioning in Torah of our Parsha Emor, following last week’s Parsha Kedoshim gives rise to thought and contemplation.
Kedoshim teaches “…You shall be holy, for holy am I, Hashem, your G’d.” (Sefer Vayikra, Perek 19, posuk 1) And we learn that the epitome of this holiness is the principle taught by Rabbi Hillel to the convert, on one foot, says “V’ohavtoh L’reiachoh Komochoh” — “… you shall love your fellow as yourself…” (Sefer Vayikra, Perek 19, posuk 18) The Halachot subsequently taught in Parsha Kedoshim are all built upon the emulation of Hashem.

Jewish Squatters in Hebron are Evicted by Israeli Police
Commentary;
The term squatter in MSM baised lexicon denotes illegality as contrasted with the status of the residents of Hebron. If they (msm) ever treated the situation correctly, i.e. that the Beit Shapira property was legally acquired, that the residents of Beit Shapira had signed agreements which were monitored, reviewed and approved by recognized legal counsel in Israel before the families moved in, the media might come to the realization that the High Court of Israel is biased and agendized and a yet another vehicle of biased, agendized, hate-blinded and vindictive regime.
Our World: The IDF’s Suicide Attempt, by Caroline Glick
Excerpts;
… The IDF’s treatment of Dayan; its new recruitment guidelines and Halutz’s anti-religious rhetoric reveal a dangerous politicization of the IDF. It seems that today, with Hamas now in charge of the Palestinian Authority and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz now in charge of Israel, the IDF views Israelis rather than Arabs as its principal threat. Halutz and Stern, in criminalizing actions like Dayan’s while minimizing the significance of the Hamas takeover of the Palestinian Authority are sending a clear signal of where they believe the IDF should be devoting its energies.
