A Consequence of Ceding Territory and Natural Resources to an Enemy: Gas Blackmail?

Israel To Sign $4 Billion Deal to Buy PA Gas

FM Livni’s Office: Israel Wants to Conclude $4 Billion Purchase of Gaza Gas ASAP

Commentary:

This blog wrote about the Consequences of lack of a thorough, thought-through military plan. The same holds true for foreign, economic and enegy policy, i.e. negotiating with and ceding parts of Divine sovereign Jewish land to an enemy who craves our destruction.

But Olmert, Livni and the gang that couldn’t shoot straight, as with their predessessors, lack the ability to think two or three steps ahead. MB read more

Think Again: The Sages and Winograd, by Jonathan Rosenblum (Jerusalem Post)

Commentary;

Shavu’ot/Parsha Naso – Loving and Caring for the Ger Tzeddik, Paradigm of Loving Our Fellow Jew

By Moshe Burt

With Shavuot always being during the week of Shabbos Parsha Naso, there are various common threads between Shabbos Parsha Naso Chag HaShavuos. One such thread is the importance of caring for the Ger Tzeddik.

Near the beginning of Parsha Naso, Hashem speaks to Moshe telling him to speak to the B’nai Yisrael as follows; “… A man or woman who commits any of man’s sins, by committing treachery toward Hashem.” (Sefer Bamidbar, Perek 5, posuk 6) Rav Zelig Pliskin, in his sefer “Growth Through Torah,” attributes to Sforno comments to the effect that “… this refers to one who steals from a convert to Judaism.” read more

Minister Attacks Gaydamak

Excerpts;

At the weekly Cabinet meeting, Housing and Construction Minister Meir Sheetrit denounced an offer by Russian-born Israeli business tycoon Arcadi Gaydamak to provide fortification for 1,300 housing units in Sderot, calling the idea “ridiculous.”
