No Longer the Political Fringe, By Evelyn Gordon (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

MK Effi Eitam’s statement on Sunday that Israel should expel West Bank Palestinians and bar Israeli Arabs from political life, since the latter are “a fifth column, a league of traitors,” understandably raised a storm. Once, such statements belonged to the political fringe. But Eitam heads a nine-member Knesset faction, National Union. And another party, Israel Beiteinu, won 11 seats in March on a platform calling for transferring many Israeli Arab towns – and their inhabitants – to the Palestinian Authority. In short, about a sixth of the Knesset now backs such ideas. read more

OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam Resigns

Excerpts;

Over a month after the war with Hizbullah ended, OC Northern Command, Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam handed in his letter of resignation to IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz on Wednesday. Halutz accepted the letter and agreed that Adam would complete his term as head of the army in the North in the near future and as quickly as possible.

Sources close to Adam said the general made the decision to resign about a month ago, but delayed stepping down from his post until after “the last IDF soldier returned from Lebanon,” Maariv reported Wednesday. The sources said Adam wanted to set a personal example by refusing to take part in power struggles going on in the defense establishment. read more

Nationalist Camp Loyalists Arrested, Detained, and More, By Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

Ehud Olmert spoke often of the need for post-Disengagement “internal reconciliation” with the pro-Land of Israel public. His gov’t is now busy arresting many of that public’s most active members.

A large ad published in Haaretz in early August 2005, just before the Disengagement from Gush Katif and northern Shomron, proclaimed that a campaign had begun to promote “mending the rift within our people” the day after the expulsion. read more

ADL Slams MK Effie Eitam’s Statements on Transfer of Arabs

Full Text;

The US-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has issued a condemnation of Knesset Member Effie Eitam (National Union-NRP) following Eitam’s call for the transfer of Arabs from Judea and Samaria and removal of Israeli-Arab Knesset members.

“Such inflammatory statements are irresponsible and display an ugly and abhorrent bigotry against other peoples and leads to incitement,” the ADL statement said. “Calls by public figures to ban minorities and expel them from their homes are abhorrent. These are irresponsible statements advocating collective measures that the ADL totally rejects.” read more

IDF: Soldiers Were Wounded Before Kidnapping

Full Text;

IDF reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser were wounded by an explosive on their army vehicle before they were kidnapped July 12, according to a military report. Their conclusion is based on findings at the site where Hizbullah abducted the two soldiers at the outset of the terrorist war on the north.

Officers concluded that the two soldiers are alive. The report was completed three weeks ago but was not submitted to the government until after the United Nations Security Council ceasefire resolution was announced. The resolution includes a non-binding clause calling for the release of the soldiers. read more

Parsha Nitzavim 5766: Unity — Hashem’s Covenant with Klal Yisrael …

By Moshe Burt

Parsha Nitzavim begins; “Atem Nitzavim HaYom…Today you are standing before Hashem, your Lord… You are thus being brought into the covenant of Hashem, your Lord, and [accepting] the dread oath that He is making with you today. He has established you as his nation, so that He will be a G’d to you…” (Devarim, Perek 29, posukim 9-12)

L’l Mode U’Lamed comments on these first few p’sukim of Nitzavim noting; “that all members of Klal Yisrael, from the greatest of leaders to the simplest woodcutter, stood together as equals before Hashem…. Thus the poor woodcutter who is devout in his ways and who raises his children as true Jews is elevated to the same level as the wealthy supporter of Jewish causes. No man should consider himself too insignificant to be a partner in the covenant between the Jews and Hashem (L’l Mode U’Lamed on the Weekly Parsha, Parsha Nitzavim, page 183) read more

Politically Correct Perfidy, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“In his decision to expunge the charges against Matar, Mintz wrote, ‘Anytime we are dealing with freedom of speech, criminal law does not present the correct and effective tool.'”

“Five years after Sept 11, the greatest asset the jihadists who seek our physical and spiritual destruction have are those within our own society who prevent us from seeing the dangers and defending ourselves. Our greatest challenge as individuals is to expose these dangers and those who hide them to our fellow citizens.” read more
