Leftist MSM “Too Tired to Win” IDF Casualty Myth
.
Commentary;
Columnist Evelyn Gordon comments about the myth of losing public support for a conflict due to casualty level. This myth is one of the pillars holding up the leftist, “too tired,” surrenderist Jewish divestation policies of the Olmert, Barak, Livni, Ramon regime — from Gaza, to Yesha, to the Golan, to Jerusalem.
But hopefully, as Gordon surmises;
THIS is why a majority of Israelis currently support a major ground operation in Gaza. They are not fools; they know the likely price is dozens of dead soldiers, with their own sons, brothers and husbands possibly among them. But they also know that countries must protect their citizens, so ending the rocket fire on Sderot is the army’s duty.

Olmert: Duplicitous “Promises”, Shas: Knowingly Duped
.
Commentary;
This author, and many others, have received this message from Pini Itzchaky, advisor to Shas Chaver Knesset Atias, in response to the ongoing email bombardment of Shas MKs demanding that they leave the Olmert regime;
The Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert: “It has been said and agreed between me and between the head of the Palestinian Authority Abu Mazen, that Jerusalem that is an important and emotional subject. We will not start this emotional negotiation, which could bring to failure of the talks. We postponed the TIPUL of Jerusalem until the last stage.”
Israel: “Vibrant Business Climate”, Low Quality Governance
.
Commentary;
Managing Partner and co-founder of NGN Capital Ken Abramowitz spoke out sentiments at the Jerusalem conference that many of us have known for quite some time when he contrasted Israel’s booming, “vibrant business climate” and its high level of competence with Israel’s abysmally “low quality” of national leadership and governance.

Shas Latest Variation: Will Leave “if Negotiations Continue”

“I say, We’ve been punked”
Commentary;
No, Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick is not the only one getting “punked.” Rav Ovadia and all of the Jews are getting “punked” daily .
It looks as if Israel National News has picked up on this blog’s assertion that Shas has now totally sacked it’s solemn promise “to quit if talks begin regarding Jerusalem.” Apparently, Yishai and his politicians have overruled their Torah Leader and their Torah Sages.

Shas Concedes Jerusalem Talks Took Place, Despite Threat?
.
Commentary;
Eli Yishai and the Shas party are looking more foolish, inept and incapable by the day.
Yishai has repeatedly promised to topple Olmert and his coalition the moment that they begin trying to bargain away Yerushalayim. R’ Ovadia Yoseph has mandated this promise.
Despite all of Ehud Olmert’s deceit and broken promises, Shas continues to remain in the Olmert government.
Now we find Yishai making a grievously ridiculous statement;
“…If negotiations on Jerusalem continue, Shas will immediately leave the government.”
