Shomron: War [in Lebanon] was Run with No Goal

Excerpts;

Knesset Member Yuval Steinitz (Likud) said during the meeting, “I am under a very grave impression, mainly regarding what is taking place in the State of Israel’s military and political echelon.

“There are deficiencies in the issues of national security, both in the political leadership as well as in the IDF top brass. This resulted in the fact that it was not understood that firing on millions of Israelis means a war, rather than border incidents. Israel’s combat doctrine has been worn down.” read more

The Blight of Corrosive Corruption (I), By Emanuel Feldman (Jerusalem Post)

“The secular founders of the modern state of Israel wanted to create a new Jew. They would toss Judaism overboard as a Diaspora phenomenon and create an Israeli in tune with contemporary times.”

“We are new Jews. The shared suffering of Jewish history, our moral triumphs over savagery, the long, mystic chord of Jewish national memory, the unique Jewish perspective on God, life, morality and the world around us – such things have been torn away from our collective identity.” read more

Column One: From Jenin to Baghdad, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Disillusionment and despair… goes a long way towards explaining how the Kadima Party – which ran its election campaign last year under the banner of “pragmatic” defeatism – was able to win in the general elections. And it is the same despair that feeds our enemies’ growing faith in their ultimate ability to destroy Israel.”

The Known Equation of ME; Hundreds of Jews = Target, Hundreds of Arabs Protecting Terrorist = Humanitarian Protection

moshe

From One Mother to Another, by Paula R. Stern (Israel National News)

“Put hundreds of Israelis in one location and the Palestinians would see this as a delectable target, and wonder how they could kill them. Put hundreds of Palestinians in one location, even protecting a terrorist’s house, and the Israeli army will not hit it. This is now the known equation of the Middle East and even the United Nations cannot deny it.”

“To Palestinian mothers, I say: you must choose. If you value your children’s lives, keep them safe and away from danger. If you value your weapons over your children, and send them to protect the homes of terrorists who endanger our children, then they cannot be called innocent.” read more
