Legitimate Protest — ‘Genuine Protestor’ More Entitled Than GK Refugee, Yesha Resident, Feiglinite?

The Final Barricade Manhigut Yehudit Weekly Update — 2 September, 2006

The reserve soldier sat in his wheelchair at the anti-Olmert demonstration opposite government headquarters. He was reciting Psalms. His obvious injury didn’t merit much attention or empathy. He had a kippah (skullcap) on his head and a beard. The organizers of the protests kept their distance from him as if he was a leper.

He is Olmert’s final barricade.

Israel’s NRG (The Israeli Ma’ariv Newspaper) website reported that Olmert’s confidantes explained that the PM does not have to relate seriously to the protests calling for his resignation. “It is very hard to distinguish,” they pointed out, “between a genuine protestor that claims that Olmert mishandled the war and a demonstrator from Gush Katif or a Feiglinite that is simply taking a free ride on the protests.” read more

A 9/11-Like Commission for Israel?

Create a ‘9/11 Commission’
From The Jerusalem Post

Not since the end of the 1973 war has there been such a pervasive sense that something fundamental is wrong with our political and military leadership. Even if this sense is exaggerated, the breadth of public distrust and discouragement is itself a problem that must be addressed.

The principal mechanism to begin restoring confidence in our leadership needs to be a proper investigation into the conduct of the war, how the problems the war revealed developed over time, and what must be done to fix them. read more

Reservists in the Rose Garden: A Second War of Independence?

For a Second War of Independence, By Daniel Doron (Jerusalem Post)

“The struggle to replace our corrupt system, started by the brave reservists manning the Rose Garden barricades, is our second War of Liberation. If we persevere, this campaign can free us, finally, from the corrupting system that is choking Israel to death.”

Excerpts;

As someone who fought in the 1948 War of Independence, among other conflicts, I view the reservists’ protest against the Lebanon fiasco as having the potential of initiating a process that could contribute to a politically, economically and socially healthier Israel. read more

Haifa Court Ruling Symptomatic of Leftist Israeli Elitist Anti-Jewish, “Humanistic”, “Proportional” Mindset…

No Room at the Dorm, By Evelyn Gordon (Jerusalem Post)

“In an open letter published on August 20, soldiers and officers of Brigade 551 wrote that the military and political leadership’s conduct of the fighting in Lebanon made them ‘feel as if someone had spit in our faces.’ Someone really did spit in their faces: the honorable Judge of the Haifa District Court, who authored an August 17 ruling barring Haifa University from using army service as one of its criteria for allocating dorm rooms.” read more
