Parsha Vayechi 5768: The End of Corruption and Etrogization Begins With Us

.

Moshe Burt [UPDATED]

This author recalls a commentary by the K’li Yekar (Judiaca Press Chumash, page 600) on the first posuk of Parsha Vayechi which is leyned this Shabbos.

The K’li Yekar explains the lack of a space between the end of the previous sedra Vayigash and our parsha as meaning that the two poskim are understood together. The final verse of Vayigash reads;

And Yisrael dwelt in the land of Mitzriyim in the land of Goshen, and they acquired property in it and… multiplied greatly. read more

Etrogization: Israel’s Newest Political Institution

.

Commentary;

Etrogization has become more than political strategy, it has become political institution in Israel. When in trouble; with the police, the attorney general, the state comptroller, a commission of investigation of a poorly fought, poorly managed war, and more — all breathing down your throat, it’s no time for biting the bullet, for taking your medicine, for doin’ your time. It’s no time for facing true justice.

When in heap big trouble, coddle up to those with the power to pursue or quash any investigation — the Left, who controls all bureaucracy, all media and all institutions in Israel. read more

Latest Investigations: Beginning of End of Olmert?

.

Commentary;

Will the current round of investigations of corruption alleged against prime minister Ehud Olmert result in his having to resign or in his government’s end?

Or will the man who perfected into a political science teflon and etrogization, which first originated in an obvious way in the Sharon prime ministership with the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif, once again evade resignation and prosecution by virtue of devastating diplomatic actions and appeasements jeopardizing and endangering both the Jewish people and our land? read more

When a Nation Forfeits Sovereignty, Forsakes Shemayim for Earthly Superpower

.
Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA discusses the disturbing and scary prospect of putting another country in position of judge and jury over the actions which Israel must take to protect and secure it’s people and borders. It is obvious that Olmert and his corrupt hacks and leftist etrogization protectors have abrogated national sovereignty in their mad destructo mission against anything Jewish.

And President Bush’s inconsistencies, presented cogently by Dr. Lerner below, are particularly pertinent in light of media reports
here and here that the President gave Israel a green light for wide scale operations in Gaza. Bush gave the green light with a caveat demanding “that Olmert make sure the operation did not wind up hurting civilians (sic) [i.e. Human Shields around the terrorist rocket launchers].” MB read more
