Israel and The Sin of Expulsion
The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
Right On!: Stop the Atomic Ayatollahs, by Michael Freund (Jerusalem Post)
“Once he dispenses with the Jews, as we know, it is the West that will be next. So this is not just Israel’s battle, it is everyone’s war…”
Excerpts;
Less than 1,000 miles east of Tel Aviv a new Auschwitz is being prepared, as the world looks on and does virtually nothing to stop it. Instead of the gas chambers being fired up, centrifuges are being installed. In place of Zyklon-B gas, the agent of choice is now uranium.
Why Do Parents Have to Sue for Government Protection? by Noam Bedein (Israel National News)

“Giladi stated that the Israeli government should not protect school children after third grade, since the Israel Civil Defense Command had determined that children had a 15-second warning from the time the siren sounds until the missile hits.”
“Levy “forgot” to mention that in these trial runs, it was Israeli combat soldiers who had run to safe areas in the schools in 15 seconds. They did not carry out a trial run with 30 or 40 children who would have to scramble out of their chairs in their classrooms and run out of the one classroom door in search of a safe spot.”
UPDATE: Olmert to Let Jordanian Prisoners Serve in Jordan
Commentary;
A question worth considering — seriously! Is release of 4 murderers of IDF Soldier to Jordanian custody tantamount to freedom for these murderers and the ability to strike again. How much more appeasement? MB

Not With My Money, by Lori Lowenthal Marcus (Jerusalem Post)
“Three of the principal goals of JAFI are to develop Jewish communities in the Galilee and the Negev, encourage aliya, and promote Jewish continuity… All three of those goals, however, would be considered illegitimate colonizing enterprises by at least one of JAFI’s grantees – the Mossawa Center, an Arab-Israeli thank tank. Mossawa seems committed to eliminating every one of them.”
“It is time for Jewish donors who wish Israel to remain a Jewish state – and there is nothing inconsistent with it being a Jewish state and a democracy – to scrutinize the actions of their investment professionals.”
Abandoning Land to Arabs: First Stage of Next Withdrawal?, by Hillel Fendel (Israel national News)
Farm owner Yaakov Talia: “Even the Civil Administration admits that the Arabs can’t sufficiently prove it’s theirs – but the army gave it to them anyway. There is also other land nearby that is 100% mine – I have contracts with the State and the Settlement Department – and the Arabs and leftists came [today] into both these areas! They uprooted the zaatar and other protected bushes, and also the grains that I planted…”
Commentary;
Indecisiveness, indecision, lack of training, incompetence at the command and political levels as well as shortages of military necessities were not all that cost Israel severely during last summer’s Lebanon debacle.
It is now revealed General Dan Halutz, as then commander of the Israel Air Force halted development of a weapon system and “rejected a US offer in 2002 to sell Israel ‘bunker buster’ bombs capable of penetrating underground Hezbollah bunkers.” Both of these systems could have been used to Israel’s great advantage against Hezbollah during last summer’s Lebanon hostilities.

Education Minister Yuli Tamir, speaking at the Beer Sheva Conference of the National Council for the Child, criticized the Treasury’s plan for educational reform for introducing free-market principles into the educational system. She complained that the new proposal would reward teachers, principals, and schools for student performance, and would allow parents to choose their child’s school instead of having it mandated by district.
On Sunday, this author posted The Mattot Arim, PSI, WIG Joint Statement calling for Jews in Chutz L’Aretz (Diaspora) to Lobby against the creation of a terror state in Yehuda and the Shomron.
This piece was posted with some trepidation, with pictures of our Israeli Dumber and Dumber… as well as with this author’s personal caveat.
The trepidation was based on anticipation and expectations as to how some would respond from thousands of miles away, as they sit snug and smug in what they perceive as their own safe, secure property in the US, not believing for an instant that they, like the Jews of Europe of the late 1930s and 1940s, could someday be delegitimized and dehumanized.
