Guess What: Barak, Not Shimshon Battalion, Politicized IDF!

Commentary:

Many of you may wonder why this blog has been silent for awhile, aside from the weekly Parsha HaShevua.

Frankly, it’s been a case of basically the same recurrent news, day after day. How many times and in how many different ways can one comment on the same news, again and again with only the names and the specific events changing, but essentially remaining the same? This author has been commenting on recurring news for the 4 plus years that this blog has been in existence plus years before. read more

Ehud Barak Planning Imminent Demolition of Gush Etzion Home of IDF Commando??

Received this email from Mattot Arim today and am urging everyone reading this to contact Shas Minister Eli Yishai and Shas Chavrei Knesset to nix Ehud Barak’s apparent attempt in the coming days to demolish this home in Gush Etzion:

From: mattot.arim@gmail.com :

URGENT: The home of a reserve commando officer who has risked his life for all of us many times, his pregnant wife and their baby daughter Shaked may be destroyed tomorrow, the next day or Wednesday –in Gush Etzion — because the Labor Party Convention is convening Wednesday. It is customary for the head of the party (currently Ehud Barak) to decimate an outpost a day or two before this periodic political event, because some of the Labor Party’s functionaries are radical leftwingers who truly delight in settler-bashing. read more

Sunday War News: Ehud Barak, “Tell Us Lies, Tell Us Sweet Gaza Lies…”; Rock Attack Near Bethlehem, Arab Tries to Run Over Israelis Near Har Bracha, Border Police Nab 334 Illegals Across Israel

.

Commentary:

Ehud, keep “them” Gaza mythical lies coming. You know, the ones about restored deterrence while you, Olmert and Livni held the IDF back from scoring methodical victory and, in so doing, achieved none of the goals for which you went to war; Hamas again makes their tunnels operational, maintains substantial numbers of rockets, mortars and ammo and still holds Gilad Shalit. You and the rest of your Troika again wrested defeat from the jaws of victory. The responsibility for consequences rest squarely on the shoulders of the three of you! MB read more

Wednesday War News Wrap-Up: Over 60 Rockets Hit Israel While Cast Lead Continues, Barak Extends ‘Special Situation’ Range Now at 40 KM, Regime Sends Former Gush Katif Residents in Nitzan Sewer Pipe “Shelters”

.

Another regime slap-down of former Gush Katif residents: Concrete Sewer Pipe Shelters??

Commentary;

There are those on the Right who hold that this Gaza ‘Cast Lead’ operation may just be all about politics and political edge merely 41 days before national elections.

And there are others on the Right who correctly assert that “those who forced Israel out of Gaza do not have the moral right to send our soldiers back there” and that “Israeli society must free itself of their despotic grip.” read more
