Study: Half of Sderot Residents Have no Shelters

Full Text;

Over 50 percent of Sderot residents do not have reinforced security rooms in their homes, Army Radio reported Monday.

A survey conducted by the city’s engineering department discovered that Sderot was short of 3,113 security rooms.

According to MK Shai Hermesh [Kadima], 4,500 of such rooms are needed in the area surrounding the West Bank.

Hermesh conditioned his backing of the government budget with the erection of these rooms. According to him, permission to execute plans to start building the rooms had yet to be given, despite knowledge of how many were needed. read more

What Jews in Chutz L’Aretz Can Do for Israel Short of Aliyah

Joint Statement by Mattot Arim, Professors for a Strong Israel and Women in Green: Calls for Jews in Diaspora to Lobby Against Creating Terror State in Judea and Samaria

Commentary;

By publishing this joint statement, this blog does not for a mili-second seek to diminsh the effect an impact of making Aliyah and being on the front lines of the struggle against an unpopular and utterly corrupt prime minister, government and its anti-Jewish, anti-Torah platform and policies.

But Jews living outside Israel who have not as yet committed to making Aliyah can still act to undermine the efforts of the Israeli government to self-destruct Jewish presence on Jewish Land — the Land of Israel. MB read more

Like Lambs to the Slaughter, Silently, by Arlene Peck (Israel National News)

“When are the people going to take to the streets, marching in protest at their government and its idiotic policies? Where is their resentment at having missiles and rockets sent into their midst on a daily basis by their Arab neighbors? Where is the fire in the belly?

Olmert Administration “A Clear and Present Danger”: Haaretz Editorial

A Clear and Present Danger

“Israel’s advantage of proper democratic governance is being eroded by embarrassing ego games.”

“The unacceptable explanation offered for this state of affairs is that Olmert intends to replace the defense minister, but is postponing the move for political reasons. This cowardice attests to Olmert’s inability to govern.”

Full text:

No commission of inquiry is needed in order to realize that the fact that the prime and defense ministers are not speaking to each other is a clear and present danger to national security. This grave situation has continued since the war in Lebanon ended, but the public is not fully aware of its gravity. All the conciliatory statements emanating from both ministers’ offices are false, as are the smiles they exchange in front of the cameras. The state is not being governed, and there is no coordination between Ehud Olmert and Amir Peretz on the most vital issues. read more

Prevention of Maintenance at Western Wall Plaza = “Dangerous Path Towards Disappearing from the… Map of the Middle East”: MK Eldad

’The Arabs Want the Overpass to Collapse, to Keep Jews Out’, By Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

“Eldad said, ‘The struggle is over the preservation of the only Temple Mount gate left out of Wakf [Muslim Authority] hands and in Jewish hands.'”

“‘It’s true,’ Eldad said, ‘that the original sin was when the Jewish People, immediately after the Six Day War in 1967, ceded its hold on the Temple Mount in an unholy alliance between the Chief Rabbinate and Moshe Dayan – each side for its own reasons – but now the danger is that the Arab sovereignty on the Temple Mount will spill over to the Western Wall plaza, and from there to other places.'” read more
