On Wednesday, 5 September, 2007 George Friedman of Strategic Forecasting, Inc. released a paper which debunks the myths of Harvard professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt regarding the activities and “manipulations (sic)” of the “Israel Lobby.”
This blog has excerpted only the summation of Friedman’s paper.
Contrary to Mearsheimer and Walt’s assertions that successive adminstration’s having been manipulated “The Israel Lobby”, Friedman’s paper on the history of US/Israel relations shows conclusively that the United States dogmatically pursues it’s own interests and extends support and cooperation to another country ONLY when that country’s interests are deemed amenable by a US administration, the state department, etc. to the perceived interests of the U.S. Thus we see, for example, perennial US support for such as Saudi Arabia, primarily based on Saudi oil leverage and America’s gas needs and mobility.

Analysis: ‘Waiting for Babies to Die is No Strategy’, by Amir Mizroch (Jerusalem Post)
“Although it can never hurt to fortify classrooms and to create readily accessible bomb shelters, the real solution to the problems of rocket attacks on Sderot and the western Negev… must be a ‘war to the end’ on the terror leadership and infrastructure of the Gaza Strip. “

Commentary;
Olmert was apparently too busy [presumably giving away more of Eretz Yisrael or freeing more Islamic terrorists to kill more Jews] to have the decency to attend the commendations ceremony to honor the valor and heroism of the IDF soldiers who saved his and his cronies cookies from complete rout by Hezbollah. Glick’s title, “Of Men and Mice”, indeed!

Commentary;
Why are we repeatedly fed this leftist propaganda; “checkpoints breed the next generation of bombers?
When will Israelis get the picture; that taking down checkpoints, rather than being seen as a kindness, as “confidence-building” and as an act of peace, is seen by the Islamics in the same vein as Olmert’s plan to release hundreds more terrorists from prison before Ramadan, as further proof of weakness, an act to be laughed at disdainfully?

Commentary;
Over the past number of months, we have been asked to make daily or weekly calls to the White House. Apparently the bombardment of calls
to the White House has brought about the ploy and tactic being utilized by their switchboard in speaking with Pollard callers; “Mr. Pollard was eligible for parole, but had not requested parole.”
In the excerpts of the Israel National News article below, Rabbi Pesach Lerner responds with a lengthy explanation in essence stating that going the parole route would be a disservice to Jonathan.

Temples ‘never existed’
Most Palestinian leaders routinely deny well-documented Jewish ties to the Temple Mount.
In a recent interview, Waqf official and chief Palestinian Justice Taysir Tamimi claimed the Jewish Temples “never existed.”
“About these so-called two Temples, they never existed, certainly not at the Haram Al- Sharif (Temple Mount),” said Tamimi, who is considered the second most important Palestinian cleric after Muhammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
