Shteinitz Warns of Egyptian Intentions Towards Israel

moshe

by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Commentary;

While most of what Shteinitz says here is right on, there is one glaring aspect which betrays him as yet another cheap politician with the wrong priorities; the Israeli propensity in recent years, the too tired dependency on 3rd parties, i.e. “U.S. pressure on Egypt, at the behest of Israel, could help improve the situation”, to secure Israel’s national defense. MB

Excerpts;

Ex-Chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee MK Yuval Shteinitz says that abandoning the Philadelphi Route on the Gaza/Egyptian border was one of Israel’s worst errors. read more

Our World: Israel’s Encirclement, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Unfortunately, at this critical moment in Israel’s history, we are led by Ehud Olmert, Amir Peretz and Tzipi Livni. Although Olmert claims that he is taking every step to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, through his government’s actions in recent months, he has steadily undercut the IDF’s ability to take decisive action against Iran. read more

Islamic Hudna: What Irresponsible Israel Governing Mal-feasance May Wrought

moshe

.
Commentary;

As the main concerns of Ehud Olmert and his corrupt, self-aggrandizing cronies, including an entire cabinet, at least 117 members of Knesset and certain local city governments, seem to be;

  • 1/ Maintaining their own power and power-bases at all cost
  • 2/ Self-enrichment through any and all means of bribery, graft, corruption and strong-arming
  • 3/ Blind, mindless, hard-hearted efforts to render Israel Yudenrein,

the Arabs in Gaza have exploited the truce in order to attempt facilitation, Heaven-forbid, of a blood-bath reaching as far as Kiryat Gat and Ashdod (Beit Shemesh too???). The attitude of Israel’s corrupt governance, in its utter refusal to fight the Islamic foe to a victorious conclusion, is the governed be damned. read more

Ehud Olmert Decides to Let Sderot Fall…

Our World: An Orphan’s Appeal, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

For context on this story, click here.

“I love Sderot very much, and I won’t leave it because I love the State of Israel. If I leave Sderot, if all of Sderot were evacuated, then the country would fall apart. The Palestinians will see that they are succeeding in Sderot, and then they’ll shoot Kassams at Ashkelon and Ashdod too, and do the same in the whole country until nothing is left.”

“I, Yaacobov’s son, am turning to you. Resign your positions! Resign. The defense minister and Olmert should admit that they can’t do this, and vacate their places in the government to Bibi Netanyahu and to [Avigdor] Lieberman. If they can [defend us] I want to see their answer. If not, they should vacate their seats, quickly.” — Hanan Yaacobov, son of poultry processing plant fatality. read more

Diskin: Gaza Smuggling Skyrocketing, by Sheera Claire Frenkel (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Palestinian terrorist organizations were studying the Lebanese-Israeli war to learn how to play on Israel’s weaker points.

After three to five years of this kind of weapons transfer, he warned, Israel will face a situation similar to south Lebanon. read more
