Sderot is becoming a new version of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo, which, … was targeted by Palestinian gunfire with the blessing of Yasser Arafat, but without his claiming responsibility or having to pay the price. read more

Guilt-Ridden PM Olmert, DM Peretz, “Palestinian (sic)” Lives Take Preference Over Israeli Lives!

moshe

Commentary 1;

In a war with cowardly murderers who, as have their predecessors, a long, documented history of tactically hiding behind civilians, accidents can and have happened. And the IDF, for all of it’s other faults, takes care to a fault concerning non-combatants in planning retaliatory attacks, attacks on rocket launcers, etc.

In fighting such a foe, a foe which tactically uses civilians for cover, who orchestrates “pallywood” death productions and manufactures events, often killing their own civilians in order to hang the bogus accusations upon Israel; when all necessary care is taken in planning military actions such as to negate, or at worst minimize civilian casualties, one need not feel guilty, one need not hang their head in shame when mishaps occur. read more

Demographobia, by Yoram Ettinger

For context, click on the various posts shown here.

Excerpts;

Again and again Olmert says that giving up geography is the only way to safeguard Jewish demography.

… He’s inspired to pullout because of demographics. But he’s using greatly exaggerated numbers provided by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics back in 1998. Israel accepted these numbers without benefit of any demographic, media or diplomatic research into their veracity, and they have since become the cornerstone of an intense campaign that has penetrated deep in to the consciousness of Israel’s policy makers and public. read more

MK Ravitz: Evacuating Outposts is Collective Punishment

Excerpts;

MK Avraham Ravitz (UTJ) harshly criticized Defense Minister Amir Peretz for his stated intention of evacuating four outposts because of “lawbreakers from them who attack Palestinians, children, and soldiers”.

Ravitz said today that he didn’t understand Peretz. “Why aren’t the criminals punished and brought to justice? Instead we act like a backwards country and use collective punishment.”

According to Ravitz, outposts should only be evacuated by a decision of the Prime Minister and only after dialog with the evacuees. read more

Parsha Korach 5766: Leadership; National Responsibility vs Rationale of Self-Interest

by, Moshe Burt

The Sefer “Torah Gems” by Aharon Yaakov Greenberg states the following thought; “Now took Korach…”; that Korach was blessed with many positive attributes: fine lineage, wisdom, qualities worthy of a leader of B’nai Yisrael. “‘Now took Korach — he took himself.’ He did not wait until he was offered the leadership, but he sought to take it by force. That is why he is not worthy of it.” (Torah Gems, by Aharon Yaakov Greenberg, Parsha Korach, Volume 3, page 79.) read more

Ex-Gush Katif Spokesman Held for Incitement to Rebellion
