Excerpts:

“In the coming days Ariel Sharon is expected … to present what are ostensibly his plans for the future.”

New Israeli Technology — Dangerous in Dictatorial Hands??

Israeli Innovation: Airport Lie Detectors

Excerpt:

“According to Nemesysco’s CEO, Amir Lieberman, the system would not err when dealing with people who are naturally under pressure as they board their flights and would not mistake them for terrorists or drug dealers. The system has also been installed at banks and insurance companies in Britain in order to detect fraud attempts.”

Commentary:

I don’t care how many rationalizations the manufacturer makes to sell his technology; How many innocent people are going to be harrassed, prevented from making their flights, treated like terrorists because they are nervous, figiting out of fear of flying, accompanying a dead body to Eretz Yisrael, person concerns, family concerns, etc.? read more

Arabs Confiscating Jordan Valley Lands

’Arabs Taking Over Jordan Valley’

Excerpt:

“‘Two and a half years ago, the IDF abandoned several camps, and there was an agreement with the defense and agriculture ministers that we could use the land for farming,’ Tal explained. ‘Nothing happened because the Lands Administration wanted lease money…but the Arabs have no problem in taking over the land’ without any government interference.

This fits right in to the mold of the Government of Israel’s agendization regarding the Jordan Valley which was addressed in a previous post. MB read more

Parsha Vayera 5766

Eviction! Of the Arabs from the Jewish homeland!
by Yaakov Landsman

Excerpts;

Parsha VaYera. Genesis 21 reads, in Part:

“9. Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian [Yishmael] , whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking [Isaac].”

“10. Therefore she said to Abraham, ‘Cast out [garesh] this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not inherit [yirash] with my son, with Isaac.'”

“The contest for inheritance begins early – who will succeed Abraham? Who will inherit his land, his riches, and his blessing? As a small child, Ishmael was already bringing violence, lewdness and idolatry into the household. Sarah notes Ishmael’s behavior, especially his jealousy of Isaac. She no doubt knew that her husband Abraham was very connected to Ishmael, and yet, she must have thought the problem was important enough to demand: ‘Cast out [garesh] this handmaid and her son! For the son of this handmaid will not inherit [ki lo yirash] with my son, with Isaac.'” read more
