MK Eldad: Why Aren’t Hamas Officials in Jerusalem Put in Jail?

Excerpts;

The Hamas, a radical Islamic organization dedicated to Israel’s destruction, is outlawed under Israeli law. Membership in the terrorist organization, which has carried out dozens of terrorist strikes killing hundreds of Israelis, is a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment.

U.S. law also defines the Hamas as a terrorist organization, and its members are subject to stiff criminal penalties.

MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union/NRP) criticized Bar-On’s announcement, calling it too little too late. “If membership in a terrorist organization such as the Hamas is a criminal offense, why aren’t they being tried and sent to jail?” he asked. read more

Official: Realignment Methods Unlike Gaza

Excerpts;

Speaking at the national security research center in Haifa University, Giladi said that a new evacuation-compensation law expected to be passed in the beginning of 2007 is the main driving force expect to expedite the “move” out of the West Bank.

Giladi, who headed coordination and strategy before and during the disengagement at the Prime Minister’s Office, said that the equivalent process in the West Bank will not take years. “There is not going to be another disengagement in a military manner where the army and police will evacuate people from their homes – not in 2006, not in 2007, and not in 2008. It seems that a certain dynamics are developing that will allow people to begin moving out as a choice.” read more

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

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

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
