Olmert Regime Ill-Conceived Gaza Aims, Goals

.

Commentary;

Just short of two weeks ago, this blog questioned the Olmert Regime’s apparent goals, third party insertion of multinational forces rather than total victory — eradication of rocket attacks, weapons smuggling and terror, in a Gaza conflict with the Hamas sector of the Pa. Why the phraseology; Hamas sector of the Pa? Because, in the final analysis, all segments of the Pa. are unified as to the same end — the destruction and eradication of the Jews.

Further indications that this is so is found both in Dr. Aaron Lerner’s commentary below and Calev Ben David’s piece, “Deja` Vu for Olmert?” as well as the related article and commentary below. read more

Shas Stays in Coalition: ALL About the Money, Or Nepotism???

.

Commentary;

Below are three real short reports, which speak volumes. Will Shas ever see a silver shekel of NIS 475m? Or will their just reward be that it bounces as high as the funds which Gimmel never got for being in the Expulsion coalition? Do they perceive themselves as on a power trip? Does nepotism trump defense of Jerusalem? MB

Revisited: When is an Act Deemed Moral Turpitude?

.

Commentary;

Inevitably, the indictment against former President Katsav includes overtones concerning the amorphous legal term “Moral Turpitude.”

The article below sets forth definitions by prominent “expert” members of Israel’s secular political legal, judicial establishment. This blog did it’s own search for a definition of moral turpitude some 11 months ago.

What it comes down to is that what Moshe Katsav is accused of, and even that which he has admitted to, no more and no less meets the criteria of moral turpitude than that which Haim Ramon, Yitchak Mordechai or Shmuel Flatto-Sharon were all found guilty of. read more

Shas: Internet Law While Jerusalem Gets Carved

.

Commentary;

While Olmert, Livni, Abbas and Qurei carve up Jerusalem daily and excise our very heart, the Shas politicians are more concerned about their pet projects. How is it they focus on what you see on the internet while whaffling TOTALLY about Jerusalem?

Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA (Independent Media Research and Analysis) wrote this 5 weeks ago about Shas and Jerusalem. It is worth re-reading;

Considering that the negotiations are taking place in secret it is hardly clear if Shas will actually know when Jerusalem is the subject of negotiations. But even if taken at face value the approach makes absolutely no sense. And the absence of logic should most certainly be clear to negotiating masters like Yishai. read more

Another Group of Politicians’ Lame Balks About Jerusalem Divide

.
Commentary;

This blog cautions against undue optimism regarding these 11 Kadima MKs and their faction meeting of yesterday. Don’t expect them to be any more serious about their so-called “red lines,” Kadima’s platform and a united Jerusalem under Jewish control, than Shas has been about theirs [If they start talking about, no make that continue to talk about dividing Jerusalem…]. Israel’s political, governmental leaders — it’s all about enhancement of personal power, spoils and self-aggrandizement, while blantantly ignoring the nation’s security and well-being. MB read more
