Sharon’s Health May be Downgraded; Investigation Discussed

There was however, one item which was not addressed which this author will try to do now.

Excerpt;

“The doctor added that when he has to speak to the family of an individual in such a situation, he tells them: ‘He will not fully regain consciousness. He may be able to breath alone and will not need equipment, but he will remain severely disabled.’ read more

Sharon Considered Destroying 20 Communities in Judea and Samaria

The above headline needs to be hammered home to Israelis again, and again and again until they have it coming out of their ears. They must be made to understand their consequences to their own homes, even in Ramat Aviv Bet when Kassams with wide ranges are launched from the very places that the irresponsible government of Israel has given over in TOTAL immoral abrogation of their responsibility for the security and welfare of the people that they were “elected” to lead. A vote for Kadima is a vote for Kevorkianism. MB read more

Supreme Court Judges Suggested to Lease the Hebron Market Buildings to Hebron’s Jewish community

Excerpts from David Wilder Article Murdered Twice?;

“Following the murder of Shalhevet Pass at the beginning of the Oslo War, Hebron children began utilizing the structures as a place to play and take cover during the constant shooting attacks from the overlooking Abu Sneneh Hills. Over a period of time, the Hebron community invested tens of thousands of dollars to convert the former fruit and vegetable stalls into livable apartments. Presently, the former ‘shuk,’ renamed the ‘Mitzpe Shalhevet Neighborhood,’ houses Hebron families, and a Torah study hall opened in Shalhevet’s memory.” read more

Roads in Judea and Samaria for Palestinians Only

Excerpts;

“Makor Rishon newspaper Correspondent Chagai Segel reports today that the Ministry of Defense is planning to close off many roads to Israeli traffic in Judea and Samaria under a plan to separate Israeli and Palestinian road networks called ‘Everything Flows’“.

“While the plan has yet to be presented to the Council of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria [YESHA Council], they have learned, for example, that the plan includes closing sections of Route 60 to Israeli traffic so that a Jew living in Shilo or Alon Moreh desiring to reach Jerusalem would first have to drive to the Jordan Valley.” read more

Another Tack: Ocean of Schmaltz [Instead of Policy-Driven Democratic Choice], by Sarah Honig

Excerpts;

“The populace evidently reveled wallowing in this bottomless ocean of schmaltz and saccharine. It was a melodramatic kitsch-fest rivaled only by post-Rabin assassination de-rigueur mawkishness, which could at least superficially be construed as arising from genuine shock at the suddenness of the historical upset.”

“… Sharon, though recklessly obese, had reached – in relatively good health up until last month – the average life expectancy of an Israeli male. A medical crisis in his case could hardly have been a bolt from the blue. Indeed, if anything confounded logic it’s the apparent assumption that he’d carry on for another term or two.” read more

Test Shows Activity in Sharon’s Brain Lobes

Excerpts;

“A medical test showed activity in both of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s brain lobes and his condition remains critical but stable, hospital officials said Saturday.”

“Experts said activity in both lobes didn’t indicate anything about the extent of the brain damage Sharon may have suffered as a result of his devastating stroke on Jan. 4”

“‘It’s very worrisome that he hasn’t woken from his coma,’ Ifergan added. ‘Coma reflects brain damage. (But) it’s hard to talk about prospects for awakening without knowing the patient.'” read more
