Disengagement Lessons

Excerpts;

Eight months after the withdrawal from Gaza, or what was referred to as a “unilateral disengagement,” things are not developing according to the early scenario marketed to the public.

Almost nothing has materialized in the way pullout supporters promised us would happen.

Did Israel gain from the disengagement? Less than what its planners hoped. The United States didn’t grant us even one cent in economic aid, even though in various phases of preparation for the withdrawal and upon the pullout, much was said about a special USD 2 billion grant. As of today, there’s no grant. read more

Bloodshed or Compromise, by David Wilder

Excerpts;

Even prior to the ‘deal’, the defense establishment had already begun the process of voiding any possible Arab claims to the former ‘market’. The defense establishment notified the Supreme Court of this plan and added its intention to “weigh leasing the structures to Hebron’s Jewish community.” The actual legal process by which the Hebron Arab municipality was notified of the intentions to void any possible legal rights to the site began prior to the agreement reached between the community and the state. This process was approved by none other than Attorney General Menachem Mazuz himself. read more

What Olmert Needs to Consider When in D.C., Not Just Addiction to Bosom of U.S. Aid …

Enough Handouts, Aluf Benn

Excerpt;

Here’s an assignment for Tzipi Livni’s Foreign Ministry: to make sure that in the next five years, the CEOs of all the Fortune 500 companies, the 100 presidents of the most prestigious universities, the heads of the most important research institutions and key artists and writers visit Israel; and to ensure that they leave here with joint projects, research plans and plots for new novels. It is possible that they’ll need an encouraging word from their congressman to get them on their planes. But Israel has nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to what it has to offer America, especially when compared to its Arab neighbors. And it will benefit from the closer ties to the most developed economy and educational system in the world. Olmert should think about this, and not only about the list of handouts he’ll ask for from Bush, when he goes to America next month. read more

Commentary;

The fact of the matter is that despite the media spin’s, Olmert’s not having an esy time of it with coalition-building. This author remebers Chaim Ramon’s boast just after elections that Kadima will have a coalition gov’t in place by Pesach. Well fans, the Pesach Seder has come and gone and Olmert is still struggling. It’s not easy when all of the characters are as crooked as the day is long. Dishonesty, duplicity, lack of trustworthiness and integrity cuts both ways! MB read more
