Commentary;

The Olmert, Kadima, Barak, Livni, Yishai government of weakness, equivocation and partisan convenience has given up the store, the entirety of Israel’s diplomatic and military assets and set back Israel’s credibility to a historic low-point. Their lack of stregnth and principle has netted a minus in all areas, credibility, principle, hasbara and national branding. Gilad Schalit is further from liberation than ever.

Commentary;

This is what happens when an Israeli government has a delusive, appeasing, supplicational, surrenderous mindset before it’s Islamic enemies who are sworn to her destruction. This is the result of governance which holds its governed hostage by tolerating Kassam and mortar barrages and by its freeing thousands of bloody-handed terrorists to kill more Jews, in exchange for Israeli captives; be they dead or alive. There are limits to Pidyon Sh’vuyim; national security, national defense and deterrence and Kiddush Hashem being but a few. MB read more

Commentary;

Why do Israeli officials think that they know better? Why do they think they’re sooo smart — especially when they’ve been proven wrong soo many times? Must readers be reminded; the Yom Kippur War intelligence failures, the withdrawal from South Lebanon in 2000, the Oslo accords, the Wye Agreement and 2 years ago, Expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif and 4 Shomron towns which was supposed to end terror emanating from Gaza.

And let us not forget about these so-called smart experts and their agreement with Egypt about monitoring the Gaza Crossings, the total unpreparedness in last summer’s Lebanon conflict of all levels of Israeli military and governance and these smart guys’ dependence and reliance upon upon 3rd party forces and “guarantees” during the past year subsequent to the conflict. read more
