Newsweek Stands By Quotes on Dividing Jerusalem

Excerpt;

“Newsweek Magazine issued a statement Wednesday backing its article which states that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon intends to cede part of Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority (PA). The Prime Minister, in a speech at a traffic safety conference Wednesday, harshly denounced the report as ‘lies and incitement.'”

This Author’s money, what little there is of it, is on Newsweek and on the pollster. As for the Prime Minister, C’mon Arik, “Make my day!” Sue Newsweek, like you did after the camps!! MB read more

Apparently now, there is two-fold panic in Likud. One is either real or feigned fear of Sharon’s “Kadima (sic)” and the other is that of the corrupt “old boys” who are petrified that Moshe Feiglin may win the Primary, lead Likud to a Jewish Leadership victory in the March National Elections and crumble some patronage empires in the process.

There are tens of thousands of Jews sitting on the fence waiting to see the results of the Likud Primary vote. A Feiglin victory in Likud will thrust him into the National Elections with a victory and the Prime Ministership a real possibility. read more

Feiglinism and the Likud

Excerpts;

“Upon seeing the news from Israel earlier this week, I was met with the headline that Defense Minister Sha’ul Mofaz became the latest Likudnik to jump ship and join Kadima. The fact that he made this move didn’t surprise me in the least, nor did it disappoint me in the slightest. I had been concerned all along that he was merely serving the role of an Ariel Sharon mole, whose sole purpose was to help Sharon win re-election.”

“There was one point in Mofaz’s act that did make me take note, and that was his attempt to sneak in a cheap shot against Moshe Feiglin before making his dramatic departure. Mofaz is not the first of the Likud renegades to take a poke at Feiglin. In fact, Feiglin has become the favorite target of many former Likudniks who seem to have this irrational fear of Feiglinism taking over the Likud. That is a very interesting phenomenon given the poll numbers, which give Moshe Feiglin less than 15% of the vote. So, there obviously must be much more to it than just poll numbers.” read more

PM Denies Report He Would Compromise on J’lem

Excerpts:

“Prime Minister Ariel Sharon published a special statement Tuesday night in which he totally dissociated himself from quotes in Newsweek attributed to his pollster, Kalman Gayer, in which Gayer claimed the prime minister was ready for territorial concessions.”

“‘The remarks attributed to Kalman Gayer are in total contradiction to my positions and opinions,’ Sharon’s statement read. ‘If, indeed, these remarks were made, they were made strictly on Mr. Gayer’s initiative, and they are senseless and absurd.'” read more

American Jewish Leaders Betray Gaza’s Jews

Excerpts;

“The majority of American Jewish leaders should be held accountable for gross misconduct, because their callous indifference to human suffering and injustice now amounts to criminal negligence. Speaking in the name of the Jewish community, this leadership has violated Jewish religious teachings to bear witness to the truth and to show compassion for the persecuted. The latest victims of their criminal negligence are the Jewish expellees from Gaza. They are Jewish refugees, suffering immensely, and unnecessarily, inside their own country. Ariel Sharon committed the crime and this leadership provided silent acquiescence. For too long, this failed Jewish leadership has not been held accountable.” read more

IDF to Ease Rules of Engagement in South

Excerpts:

“Israel is going to change its protocol for opening fire along the Egyptian border, which has been a peaceful border for the past 25 years.”

“The new protocol will make it easier to open fire on infiltrators on the so-called ‘peace border,’ since ‘dangerous criminal elements’ were involved in the smuggling of terrorists and weapons across the border, senior military sources said on Tuesday.”

IDF: Less Qassams Since Pullout
Excerpts:

“Army says there was 55 percent drop in number of Israelis murdered by terrorists; Islamic Jihad has significantly increased activity.”

“In 2005, there was a significant drop of 55 percent in the number of Israelis murdered in terrorist attacks compared to last year, IDF statistics show.”

“This year, 52 Israelis were killed, compared to 118 in 2004.”

Are you trying to justify the expulsion by saying that Israeli are soo much safer and more secure? What an absurd premise as Kassams continue to be fired at Israel from Arab-occupied Gaza, as smuggling of arms and terrorists continue unabated as a result of Condi Rice’s heavy hand upon Israel at Rafah, as Kassams continue to be calibrated for launching deep into the rest of Israel, including yesterday’s Kassam launched from Jenin.
