The Sefer Torah Recyling Network, headed by Moshe Burt of Bet Shemesh, has been zocheh to place another Sefer Torah, this time in Yishuv Adura in Har Hevron.
For context on Me’ir Sheetrit, click here.
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.”
Minister Sheetrit had equally disparaging words for complaints by residents of the rocket-battered city who have accused the government of neglecting to repair, upgrade and increase the number of bomb shelters in the western Negev town.

Column One: The Master Politician and Us, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)
“Olmert, the major league politician, sits securely on his perch while Olmert, the little league leader, is plunging us into a new war, which like the last one, he is incapable of winning.”
Excerpts;
The primary reason that the Israeli media are ignoring the rapidly gathering mushroom cloud is because Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is a master politician.
Two weeks after the Winograd Committee’s interim report found Olmert responsible for Israel’s defeat at the hands of Iran’s army in Lebanon last summer, almost no one seems to remember there was a report. Olmert has removed his incompetence from the pubic agenda.
Israel Considers Giving Fatah Military Support, Commentary by Dr. Aaron Lerner (IMRA)
Excerpt;
“‘Sometimes the army needs to show determination, to put pressure on extremists, to put pressure on these terrorists, in order for the
Palestinians to understand this is not something that is tolerable, that this is something that also affects their life,’ said Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister.”
Dr. Lerner’s Commentary;
“How about instead: ‘since others are not stopping those attacking Israel, our army has to stop them. The IDF isn’t trying to kill Palestinians for PR – its trying to kill people who are actively engaged in trying to murder Israelis.’”

Commentary;
The poster-boy, the apologist for the secular Israeli left has again spoken the absurdities for which he is famous. Nothing can be done?
What are we; poor, defenseless herds of scared Jews??
The truth of the matter is that this regime and its police and military are inordinately too busy bullying, arresting and persecuting Jews when it ought to be doing what a Jewish nation ought to be doing; fighting, defeating and decimating it’s national enemies who are intent on our destruction and nothing less.

Excerpts;

Commentary;
