‘Israel is Verging on Moral Collapse’ (Jerusalem Post)

Full Text;

“Israel is on the verge of moral collapse,” Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch said in a conference on education hosted by Seminar Hakibutzim, Sunday.

“We are in the midst of a cultural and political turmoil and storm clouds are brewing. We are experiencing failures, societal class struggles, poverty and a lack of public trust in all state institutions,” Beinisch said.

However, despite her harsh statements, Beinisch has also voiced optimism in saying that, after perusing the conference program, she thought that, “perhaps we can still say that…it isn’t too late.” She said that change is possible due to the fact that there are many people “who are interested in contributing and cultivating that which is most important to us – our children’s education.” read more

PM Livni? Are We Crazy?, by Uzi Landau (Ynet)

Foreign Minister lacks independent worldview; we cannot afford another experiment.

“Livni, with all due respect, is there by coincidence. She was able to jump on the right bandwagon at the right time. She has no independent worldview. She zigzagged with her positions based on political benefits to be gained at the time. And while she’s finishing up her one-year internship at the Foreign Ministry, she’s already rushing to do some basic training at the Prime Minister’s Office, at the expense of the public.” read more

Winograd Committee: Deliberately Covered Over of Ideological and Cognitive Failure of Regime, Israeli Establishment Leading to Lebanon Outcome

moshe

Column One, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“The report’s concentration on the personal failures of the three men serves mainly to strengthen the Left’s push to place all the blame for the war’s dismal outcome on the personal incompetence of Israel’s leaders. This it does by deliberately ignoring the ideological and cognitive failure of the government and the Israeli establishment as a whole. It was this failure that led to the war and to its dismal outcome.” read more

Homesh: ‘A Settlement Renewal Point’, by Matthew Wagner (Jerusalem Post)

Full Text;

With the Israeli public’s morale at an all-time low, now is the time to launch a new bid for increased settlement activity in Judea and Samaria, with Homesh as a rallying point, Benny Katzover, former chairman of the Samaria Regional Council and a founder of Gush Emunim, said Thursday.

A huge demonstration at Homesh, one of four northern Samaria settlements evacuated during disengagement in August 2005, was being planned for this summer, when high schools and yeshivot are on vacation, said Katzover. He said he was lending his rich experience in settlement activism to the younger generation of settlement leaders. read more

Finance Minister Abraham Hirchson suspended himself due to a criminal investigation for embezzlement; the state comptroller published a blistering report about Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s influence-
peddling in his former role as industry minister; the attorney-general considered opening two additional criminal cases against Olmert; the Knesset extended President Moshe Katsav’s leave due to a draft indictment for rape; and the Winograd Committee published its damning interim report on the failures of last summer’s Lebanon War. read more
