Eitam: Likud Preferred Party Unity Over Land of Israel
Excerpts:
“Eitam said, ‘The Likud, which was afraid to depose Sharon before he lifted his hand against Gush Katif, is today paying the price of the treachery against the values of the nationalist camp, and for the turning of their back against the settlers. The Likud now sees how its leader abandons the sinking ship after he made holes in its ideological bottom, and now goes to bring new wind into the left-wing sails.‘”
“‘Those who sacrificed the wholeness of the Land of Israel on the altar of the wholeness of the Likud Party,’ Eitam said, ‘now see that dividing the Land of Israel leads to the division of the Likud Party.'”

Our World: The Jewish Refugees, By Caroline Glick
Excerpts:
“When one enters Nitzan, at first glance it looks like a success story. The roads are largely paved. Each family lives in a red-roofed mobile home with grassy lawns all around. But dig just slightly beneath the surface and you see you are in a refugee camp. The fiberglass walls of the homes can be torn apart by a stray soccer ball. Children play in dirt plots next to moving bulldozers. Sewage runs openly between the homes. And those homes – 60 square meters for families of five and under, and 90 square meters for families with more than three children – are cramped and tiny. Most of the families in Nitzan had lived in homes that averaged 200 square meters in Gaza.”

Why, pray tell, does talk of a “Right-Wing” Bloc seem restricted to NRP and National Union? What about Shas and Gimmel? What about Likud? And what about Baruch Marzel’s Hazit? We could be talking about a bloc of 50 or more seats here. MB

In Israel: Hypocritical Sense of Morality Based on Agenda …
Here’s an oldie but a goodie from December, 2003 about how the left instructs young high school students on how to avoid and evade duty in the IDF. This is particularly instructive in light of the hypocritical approach taken by law enforcement against those who protest last August’s expulsion by not serving their scheduled reserve duty. MB
