Gush Katif Farmers Must Give Up Compensation To Receive Land

Full Text;

The Cabinet decided Sunday to offer land to expelled Gush Katif farmers but only on condition that they renounce compensation for their former land and that the newly allocated farm be situated in the Negev or Galilee. After 15 months since being forced out of their communities, many Gush Katif farmers still are without permanent land for agriculture.

The farmers, many of whom are in their 60s, also must work the land themselves and may not rent it to others. read more

Olmert and the Saudi Plan: Blueprint for Israel’s Destruction”

Our World: Olmert’s Saudi Friends, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“The ‘deal’ that the Saudis are ‘brokering’ is nothing less than a blueprint for Israel’s destruction.”

“Olmert will do anything to take the Israeli public’s attention away from his failure in office. And to successfully ‘spin’ the public, he needs the support of the Israeli media.”

“Olmert’s embrace of a new imaginary ‘peace process’ will win him the support of Haaretz and the other radical leftist elements in the Israeli media. These media organs will then work to prevent the opening of police investigations into Olmert’s alleged criminal activities.” read more

PM’s Remarks Anger Soldiers’ Families

Full Text;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert should talk less and do more to secure the release of kidnapped IDF reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, Goldwasser’s mother, Miki, told Army Radio on Tuesday morning.

On Monday, Olmert told a group of high school students that Israel had pulled out of this summer’s Lebanon war despite the fact that Goldwasser and Regev had not been rescued in order to save other soldiers’ lives.

If Goldwasser and Regev were still alive, Olmert said, it was better for them to remain captive “a little while longer” than for other soldiers to die in an attempt to rescue them. read more

Parsha Vayishlach 5767; Yaakov’s Three Pillars and Modern-Day Medinat Yisrael

by, Moshe Burt

As our Parsha begins, Yaakov sent melachim (angels), some render a translation of messengers, “… ahead of him to Eisev to the land of Seir, to the field of Edom… Thus shall you say … to Eisev, so said your servant Yaakov: ‘Im-Lavan garti’ (I have sojourned with Lavan) …” (Sefer Breish’t, Perek 32, posukim 4 & 5)

When the melachim, the messengers return, they inform Yaakov that Eisev “is also coming to meet you; and there a four hundred men with him.” (Sefer Breish’t, Perek 32, posuk 7) read more

Olmert Replies to IDF: Firing on Terrorists Costs Israeli Lives

Commentary;

A few weeks ago, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan commented that “One of the problems in the negotiations for the release of the two kidnapped Israeli soldiers in Lebanon is the demand for Hizballah to return them alive.”

This author undertook, with the help of a graphics expert to initiate the Kofi Annan Award for Absurdity.

It was inevitable that the first co-recipients of this award would be Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister/Justice Minister Tzipy Livni for dropping all defense against the launching of Kassams against Negev and southern Israeli Jewish cities such as Sderot. read more
