Halutz Orders Snap Retirement of ‘Rebellious General’, Hanan Greenberg (Ynet)

Commentary;

As reported yesterday on this blog, it seems that General Ron-Tal is the first senior officer to do the right thing — to have spoken out against the expulsion, against the military’s failures in Lebanon, to have called for Halutz’s resignation and to have preemptively resigned prior to being discharged. Ron-Tal loses various retirement funds, benefits and perks which, under threat of loss, serves to keep other senior officers “in line.” read more

The Chief of Staff’s Warning By Uri Dan (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

“In a state willing to release 400 prisoners in return for the bodies of three Israeli soldiers – the abduction of an Israeli soldier would be considered a strategic attack.”

This was the very clear warning delivered by Chief of General Staff Dan Halutz to the top brass of the IDF Northern Command less than five months before two Israeli soldiers were abducted, and whose fate remains unknown to this day. read more

Hezbollah Listened in on IDF Beepers, Cell Phones, By Ze’ev Schiff (Haaretz)

“Clearly evident in the way Hezbollah operatives managed to track and map the movement of IDF patrols along the border, and thus plan the July 12 raid and ambush in which eight soldiers were killed and two others kidnapped.”

“The matter was raised with then prime minister Ariel Sharon by then Military Intelligence chief Major General Aharon Ze’evi-Farkash, who told Sharon that if Israel does not take the necessary countermeasures, the IDF and its activities will increasingly become transparent to Hezbollah intelligence.” read more

Peretz May Order Post-Succot Pullout, By Yaakov Katz and Tovah Lazaroff (Jerusalem Post)

“Outposts evacuated simultaneously would be in different regions of the West Bank, making it more difficult for reinforcements to arrive at each one.”

Excerpts;

Defense Minister Amir Peretz will mostly likely order the evacuation of 12 West Bank outposts after Succot, according to operational details obtained by The Jerusalem Post.

The plan falls in line with statements Peretz made to the Post last week regarding his intentions to evacuate 12 illegal outposts over the next few months, now that the IDF had withdrawn from Lebanon. read more

Is God With Us? By Avi Shafran (Jerusalem Post)

“Dershowitz invoked a verse from the book of Isaiah that speaks of the ultimate futility of the plottings of the Jewish people’s enemies.”

“‘Utzu eitzah v’tufar; dabru davar v’lo yakum,’ the former yeshiva bochur eloquently intoned. ‘Plan a conspiracy, and it will be foiled; speak your piece and it will not stand.'”

“Very inspiring, except that Dershowitz left out the final words of the verse, ‘ki imanu [K]el’ – ‘for God is with us.'” read more

“‘The problem is that they don’t stand behind their opinions and say this when the chips are down,’ he said, and called on all senior IDF officers to reveal how strongly they had opposed the disengagement.” read more

Fatah member: Abbas Recognition of Israel Political, By Aaron Klein (WND)

“Our Fatah movement keeps dreaming of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa and Akko”

Commentary;

“Land for Peace” and all of it’s synonyms and euphemisms, i.e. convergence, consolidation, realignment, security fences, etc. ought to be killed and cremated. The concept is not even worthy of burial. It envisions nothing more than the separation of Israelis from their Jewish roots and heritage. It is nothing more than the fruition of all of the self-doubt which the post-zionist elitists have brainwashed the average Israeli into believing. MB read more

If these allegations are in fact true, and it would come as no great surprise if they are, then there are some giant conflict of interest and legal ethicacy questions which arise regarding the Winograd Commission.
