Another Ill-Conceived Conflict; Goal: Multinational Force, Not Victory

Commentary;

Will a Gaza conflict be a replay of Olmert’s 2006 summer Lebanon conflict? Has Israel’s military strategy of winning a war and vanquishing an enemy sworn to our destruction, so degraded in recent years to the point of fighting a conflict with the goal being introduction of international forces with their record impairing and further degrading Israel’s military capability as well as degrading Jewish national sovereignty?

Maariv: Givati Brigade Exercise Find 71 soldiers Killed First 24 Hours in Simulation Entering Gaza, by Dr. Aaron Lerner IMRA

Full Text;

Maariv correspondent Amir Buchbut reports in today’s edition that reservists in the Givati Brigade say a recent exercise they carried out practicing an invasion of the Gaza Strip found 71 soldiers killed in the first 24 hour of the invasion. The heavy losses were attributed to the major improvement in weapons and explosives that the Palestinians have amassed thanks to the long period during which they have been able to smuggle and prepare for battle. read more

More Than Olmert, The Governing System Which Made Him Bears Full Blame for Lebanon Debacle and Must Go!

Commentary;

This author will agree that Ehud Olmert bears full and total responsibility for the debacle which was the Lebanon conflict. But the current normative Israeli political culture and governing system of corruption and evasion of responsibility, of which Ehud Olmert, Haim Ramon, Barak, etc. are products, must be dismantled, eradicated and replaced by a faith-based government of principle appropriate to the role of B’nai Yisrael in eyes of the world. When the corrupt little men; Olmert, Barak, Ramon, Lieberman, Beilin, Sarid, Netanyahu and more are gone from the political, governmental stage, hopefully this will mark a time when corruption, cheating, protexia and evasion of responsibility will no longer be engrained in the people’s derech. read more

What Israel’s MSM Doesn’t Tell Regarding Surviving Families of Lebanon Fatalities

moshe

Commentary;

To those who don’t know about Olmert’s disdain for the very soldiers who fought with the most valour during last summer’s Lebanon conflict, Horovitz’s piece may seem a very sensitive human interest story centering around Yeshiva Bnei David where the 3 religious soldiers who were fatalities in last summer’s Lebanon conflict learned and around the Yeshiva’s philosophies; “to bolster religious Zionist soldiers’ spirit, commitment and motivation to protect Israel” as well as, “awareness that senseless internal hatreds destroyed our previous efforts at Jewish sovereignty” and telling students during the expulsion from Gush Katif “not to abandon their units…. We stick together through thick and thin.” read more

Think Again: The Sages and Winograd, by Jonathan Rosenblum (Jerusalem Post)

Commentary;

With Chag Shavuot coming tonight, Jonathan Rosenblum’s column adds a spiritual dimension to our current national crises.

There was a time in recent history, in Israel’s previous wars, where the IDF had the capacity to plan ahead, to plan not only the battle at hand, but to see the implications of the battle at hand and to plan two or three steps ahead and yet to improvise — or in NFL terminology; to “audible at the line of scrimmage.” read more

Column One: The Gemayel Warning, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“In choosing the strategy of retreat, Israel and the US have ignored the regional and indeed global nature of the war being waged against them. In such a war, it is impossible to view conflicts as discrete campaigns. Everything is related.”

Excerpts;

Hours after Gemayel was murdered, his killers issued a communiqu calling themselves the “Fighters for the Unity and Liberty of Greater Syria.” They said that they killed Gemayel because he was “one of those who unceasingly spouted their venom against Syria and against [Hizbullah], shamelessly and without any trepidation.” Gemayel, they threatened, would be the first of many victims. As they put it, “Sooner or later we will pay the rest of the agents their due…” read more
