Monday War News: Lull, or Managed Release of News??

.
Commentary;

Take note of the dearth of war news since Friday. Only 8 or 10 mortars from Gaza over the last 3 days? No Kassams, no stonings in Yesha? No arm caches seized? A bit much to believe. MB

Parsha Shelach 5768: Shelach Turned Upside Down

.
By Moshe Burt

Observing the political governmental scene in Israel today, this author’s memories harken back to the mid-1980s in Philadelphia, in the years just prior to becoming Ba’al Teshuva.

The conservative synagogue attended for Rosh Hoshana and Yom Kippur had a practice of bringing in a young JTS guest Rabbi to help and assist the synagogue’s long-time Rabbi who was getting on in years. This particular Yomim Tovim, they brought in a young fellow who proceeded to pitch the philosophies of Breira, one of the leftist-agendized predecessors of Shalom Achshav. read more

Why Not an Ongoing Re-Take of Gaza?

.
IMRA’s Dr. Aaron Lerner asks; “Why should analysts straightjacket themselves by refusing to even consider an ongoing occupation as an option?”

Ask this question a slightly different way; Why not re-take and re-settle Jews in Gaza? Ask further, was Sderot and the rest of the Negev under a constant level of bombardment when Jews lived in Gush Katif? Were Ashkelon and Ashdod being hit and under threat when there were Jewish towns and communities in Gaza? Aren’t Kassams, Katyushas and mortars now being launched on Sderot, Ashkelon and Negev Kibbutzim from areas formerly inhabited by Jews? And, after all, isn’t Gaza part of OUR Biblical, historical land? read more

The Perfidy of Corrupt Governance Against Jewish Masses

.
Commentary;

There are a few recent themes which stick out like sore thumbs and which beg comment.

There is the piece by Stewart Weiss, a director of a Jewish Outreach Center in Ra’anana, applying to today the virtues of Civil Disobediance, which date back to anti-slavery abolitionist Henry David Thoreau of 1840s and 1850s America.

Weiss cites Thoreau in asserting;

When the government does not act, then the citizens must step forward and do what is necessary.

In opposition to the United States’ support of slavery, he [Thoreau] refused to pay taxes in 1846. He spent a night in jail and remarked,
“Under a government which imprisons anyone unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.” His subsequent essays on civil disobedience provided an antidote for helpless citizens who feel they lead lives “of quiet desperation.”
