Israel and The Sin of Expulsion
The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
Excerpts;
It also isn’t true, as Hirchson says, that “lowering VAT is necessary because the surplus from tax revenues will reach NIS 10 billion this year. We must return some of that money to the public.”
According to the finance ministry’s tax administration, the country’s tax surplus (the difference between planned tax revenues and the amount of tax actually paid) stands at about NIS 5 billion. Nor is there any leftover from VAT revenues; that real growth is about four percent.

Column One: Olmert’s Plan for Jerusalem, by Caroline Glick
Excerpts;
Olmert apparently thinks that partitioning the city will secure the Jewish majority of the city. Yet, taking these neighborhoods out of the city will actually endanger that majority.
Over the past few months, a team of American and Israeli researchers conducted a demographic study of Jerusalem and its environs. Last year the same researchers – Bennett Zimmerman, Roberta Seid, Michael Weiss and Yoram Ettinger – conducted the first independent study of the Palestinian population data published by the PA’s Central Bureau of Statistics in 1997. Their study exposed that the PA had inflated the number of Palestinians in Judea, Samaria and Gaza by some 1.5 million or 50 percent. Olmert and his colleagues in Kadima and the Labor Party have justified their plan to surrender Judea and Samaria to Hamas on the basis of these inflated numbers which falsely project that by 2015 there will be more Arabs than Jews between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
Who Gave the Order to Change Property Appraisals?, by Moti Sender
Excerpts;
Information received by the Legal Forum for Eretz Israel indicates that the Government Appraiser told external assessors hired to give their professional opinion on which to base refugees’ rights to compensation, that they should change their original reports so that the amount of compensation would be substantially reduced. “This gross intervention in assessors’ appraisals is very worrying”, wrote Attorney Yitzhak Meiron, one of the heads of the Legal Forum, to Ami Lindner, Chairman of the Expulsion Administration’s Eligibility Committee.

Commentary;
If Professor Aumann fears Israel’s becoming a Bolshevik state, what can be said for the situation of American Jews. But then again, if American Jews made Aliyah, all of these fat-cat Yudenrat below might have no constituency and lose their big fat paychecks! And imagine if all of those Jews were over here helping to turn the tide against the demagogues and turning the Olmerts, Bassis, Peres’ and Baraks out of their high offices.
Further, this author will add what has been vocalized on a number of previous occasions; namely that all Jews have suffered murder, pogroms, blood-libels, brutalizations and persecutions throughout these millennia in Chutz L’Aretz and are thus collectively, mentally the equal of any Israeli in terms of the collective resultant suffering and impact of the same on generations of our brethren.
Nadia Matar ‘Insult Trial’ Begins
For context, click here and here
Excerpts;
Matar is charged with violating a law that prohibits Israeli citizens from insulting public officials, a move that her lawyer, Yoram Sheftel, said was indicative of the double standard applied to the right and left political spectrums in Israel.
“Just this week the daughter of the Prime Minister, which [sic] is an extreme leftist activist, accused the Chief of Staff of the Israeli army of being ‘a murderer’, which is exactly the same offense,” he said. “I can bet my life,” he added,”that not only will the daughter of Olmert not be charged as Nadia Matar – she will not even be investigated.”
