Our World: Abbas’s Newest Big Lie, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Fresh from her tete-a-tete with PA leader Mahmoud Abbas last week, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni instructed her press flack to tell her fellow cabinet ministers to remain mum on Abbas’s latest “diplomatic” gambit. In the words of her communications director Shai Ben Maor, Abbas’s decision to turn a document written by convicted Palestinian murderers and attempted murderers sitting in Israeli prisons into the centerpiece of his diplomatic policy is “an internal Palestinian issue” and so Israel should not be weighing in on it. read more

Another Tack: Sins of Omission, by Sarah Honig

Excerpts;

Earlier this month, Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav was asked during an interview with the Israeli Arabic-language weekly Kul al-Arab whether he’d accept in principle the return to Haifa of “tens of thousands of Arab refugees” who left it in 1948.

Yahav replied he “wouldn’t mind their return” in the context of a peace agreement, adding: “In all sincerity I feel the refugees’ pain… because my father too tasted the bitterness of homelessness and loss after he fled Germany.” read more

Gush Katif Resettlement Efforts Mired in Bureaucracy

Excerpts;

Lior Kalfa, head of the Gush Katif Residents Council, described the situation of the some 1,700 families uprooted from their homes in Gush Katif ten months ago. “Bureaucracy rules,” he says.

Poland Apologizes to Rabbi after Attack

Excerpts;

Poland’s president expressed solidarity Monday with the country’s chief rabbi, who was attacked over the weekend, assuring the Jewish leader he would do everything in his power to oppose anti-Semitism.

President Lech Kaczynski invited Rabbi Michael Schudrich to his palace, where he expressed regret over the attack and said Poland will not tolerate anti-Semitism, said the presidential undersecretary of state, Ewa Junczyk-Ziomecka.

Schudrich was punched in the chest and doused with what appeared to be pepper spray on a Warsaw street Saturday by a young man who yelled “Poland for Poles” – an old anti-Semitic slogan implying Jews are unwelcome in Poland. read more

‘Women in Blue-and-White’ Recorded Complaints Against Machsom Watch

Excerpts;

A grassroots organization called Women in Blue-and-White in Haifa visited IDF soldiers at a checkpoint located outside Tul Karem in Samaria, in order to record complaints by the soldiers against members of the Machsom Watch organization. According to the soldiers, members of the all-women left-wing radical Machsom Watch organization interfere with the security functions at the checkpoint (called a machsom in Hebrew) and degrade the soldiers in front of the Palestinian Authority residents who pass through the area. The Machsom Watch activists also threaten the soldiers with formal complaints if they refuse to do as the activists demand. read more

PM Olmert: “We Will Strike a Painful Blow at All Those Who Fire at the North”

Excerpt;

Prime Minister Olmert said on Sunday, 28 May: “At around 04:00 this morning, a barrage of Katyusha rockets was fired approximately eight kilometers into Israel. This assault on Israeli communities was initiated by terrorist elements in Lebanon. We carried out an aerial attack and we will use all aerial and ground responsive measures at our disposal in order to strike at the terrorist elements that tried to disrupt life in the north. We were careful. Naturally, residents in the relevant areas were asked to go into shelters. We do not want any of our civilians to be hurt; we also do not want any innocent Lebanese civilians to be caught up in these exchanges of fire but I can say here that we will – without any doubt – strike a painful blow at all those who try to disrupt life in the north of the country. Israel’s response was an important warning to Palestinian elements in Lebanon of what they may expect if such things recur. We hope that the response will be properly understood and that there will be no further attempts. In the meantime, I hear that the firing is continuing, mainly in the western Galilee and I think that the elements that are taking part in the firing have erred in their assessments. They will receive an unequivocal and aggressive response, without any hesitation, if they do not stop.” read more
