Report Shows: Outposts are Not Illegal

Excerpts;

As the gov’t prepares to destroy what it calls “unauthorized” outposts, the Shomron Regional Council presents evidence that the outposts are no more “unauthorized” than many other Israeli towns.

… The State Comptroller’s report of 2005 and many other sources, shows that the outposts were built in the same manner as many towns in Israel over the years.

… A 1999 Knesset speech by then-MK Ariel Sharon explaining the rationale governing the construction of the outposts. Ironically, it was Sharon, as Prime Minister, who later asked for and accepted Sasson’s report against the outposts. read more

MK Ariel: Increase Public Transportation in Judea and Samaria

Full Text;

In the wake of recent events, including the suspected kidnapping of a youth from Itamar on Sunday, Knesset Member Uri Ariel (National Union-NRP) has called upon the defense minister and the transportation minister to increase public transportation in Judea and Samaria.

“As you know,” MK Ariel explained, “there are warnings of attempts to kidnap civilians. The order not to hitchhike is a command that the public cannot bear, as public transportation is very infrequent (in many communities, a bus comes only twice a day).” In any event, MK Ariel promised to work to make the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria aware of the dangers in hitchhiking, in the hope of limiting the phenomenon. read more

Parsha Chukas: Tefillot for Rectification of Chait, Unity and Rachel Imeinu

By Moshe Burt

The placement in Torah of our Parsha Chukat and the Parah Adumah raises questions as to why the Parah Adumah and it’s Halachot are mentioned here in our Parsha; only after Korach’s rebellion and after the continued murmuring of the Am against Moshe Rabbeinu, and after the plague which killed thousands only ending with Aaron’s carrying an incense pan amongst the people (upon Moshe’s instruction), and after the story of the rods. read more

When Does a Regime Admit Their Castastrophic Failure?

Death of the Concept, by Meir Eindor

Excerpts;

What else has to happen before the architects of this catastrophe admit their failure?

The entire new concept of security, based on the notion that Israel should dig in and realign itself behind a fortified wall, crumbled at Kerem Shalom. Once and for all it was proven that there is no substitute for a strong IDF presence in areas where terrorists organize.

The evacuated area has been filled with dozens of sub-groups of terror organizations, and hundreds of armed cells receive weapons, some from “official” sources, some (mostly anti-tank weapons) which move freely across the Philadelphi Route – an additional Israeli mistake which was given over to Palestinian and Egyptian supervision. read more

The War of Cities / Sderot-Gaza, Baghdad-Tehran, by Amir Oren (Haaretz)

Excerpts;

If a foreign planner, free of preconceptions, were to be asked to suggest solutions to the problem of the rockets being fired from Gaza, he would certainly demand considering the return of the IDF ground forces to the Gaza Strip, or at least to its northern sector, from which the range of the rockets reaches the outlying areas of Ashkelon to the north.

Taking control of this sector, to the point of erecting a fence within it, would be costly and would create other problems, but it would solve the problem of the Qassams – until the range of the rockets is increased, or until masses of Katyushas and Grads are imported. read more
