Hoenlein: Franklin Sentence ‘Disturbing’

Excerpts;

“American Jewish leader Malcolm Hoenlein on Sunday blasted the sentence handed down two days earlier to the Pentagon analyst who admitted passing on classified information to Israeli diplomats and pro-Israel lobbyists.”

“Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, labeled the ruling “disturbing,” a comment greeted by applause from the audience to whom he spoke about US-Israel relations at the Interdisciplinary Center’s Herzliya Conference.” read more

Bibi’s Speech: Capitulation to Obama — Partial Analysis

.
The IRIS blog has offered a valuable analysis of prime minister Netanyahu’s Sunday night speech set in contrast with then-MK Netanyahu’s impassioned plea in 2002 to the Likud central committee against a “Palestinian state”, the position of then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. With his speech on Sunday night, Prime Minister Netanyahu has capitulated on his previously-held principles concerning “two states”.

What everyone may be overlooking are these points;

1/ By his endorsement of “two states”, Hashem, history and the Jewish Divine legacy connected to Eretz Yisrael is nowhere in the equation. read more

By Aaron Klein
(WorldNetDaily.com – May 4, 2007)

“Clinton’s pledge to free Pollard was not a personal promise made to a particular prime minister. … This was a promise made to the state of Israel and to the people of Israel.”

As reported on this blog last week, WorldNetDaily.com’s Jerusalem editor Aaron Klein now reports;

Excerpts;

Former CIA Director George Tenet’s claim that he is responsible for nixing a deal to free imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard has been contradicted by a number of sources, including some who say Tenet personally told them otherwise. read more

How Former CIA Chief Foiled Pollard’s Release, Yitzhak Benhorin (Ynet)

Excerpts;

Former CIA chief George Tenet claims, in a new book, that he was the person who prevented the release of Jonathan Pollard during the Wye Plantation talks in October of 1998. The talks, between then-Prime Minister of Israel Binyamin Netanyahu and then-head of the Palestinian Authority Yasir Arafat, were brokered by President Bill Clinton and focused on an Israeli withdrawal from most of the biblical city of Hevron. read more

Who Says that “Most US Jews Support Realignment”?? Don’t You Dare Muzzle the Jews for Your Own Self Agrandisement …

Commentary;

If Professor Aumann fears Israel’s becoming a Bolshevik state, what can be said for the situation of American Jews. But then again, if American Jews made Aliyah, all of these fat-cat Yudenrat below might have no constituency and lose their big fat paychecks! And imagine if all of those Jews were over here helping to turn the tide against the demagogues and turning the Olmerts, Bassis, Peres’ and Baraks out of their high offices.

Further, this author will add what has been vocalized on a number of previous occasions; namely that all Jews have suffered murder, pogroms, blood-libels, brutalizations and persecutions throughout these millennia in Chutz L’Aretz and are thus collectively, mentally the equal of any Israeli in terms of the collective resultant suffering and impact of the same on generations of our brethren. read more

State Fosters Settler Mistrust

Excerpts;

Incredibly, the current Israeli leadership seems to be purposely fostering mistrust between the state and Israeli settlers in Judea and Samaria, making the likelihood of bloodshed the next time Prime Minister Ehud Olmert moves to uproot a Jewish community dangerously high.

Just days before the brutal destruction of the Amona outpost in Binyamin two months ago, the IDF succeeded in reaching a compromise deal with the Jews of Hebron regarding their removal from homes in an old vegetable market on the outskirts of the Avraham Avinu neighborhood. read more

Our World: The Trial of American Jewry

Commentary;

In the vast, overwhelming majority of cases, Caroline Glick’s writings and editorials represent editorial and commentary journalism at it’s professional finest, an extreme rarity in Israel.

However, this editorial is a huge disappointment. The feel of the article is as if American Jews are beating themselves up with guilt. After all, in the US, “they are free to be Jewish” and for that, they must express gratitude. Perish the thought that American Jews should begin to read the clear writing on the wall, look into their Jewish history and heritage and come to the conclusion that “… they are guests in their own (?) country.” read more

Bibi Tries to Intimidate Likud Voters With Bogus Scare Tactics

.

Commentary;

Benjamin Netanyahu, the current leader of the Likud party, and candidate for Likud leadership in Tuesday’s primary, is attempting to employ bogus scare tactics against his main competition, perhaps only competition, Manhigut Yehudit’s Moshe Feiglin.

But check out how Moshe Feiglin responds to Netanyahu’s outrageously bogus and chutzpadik charges and strategy in these videos.

Remember, this is the same Bibi who garnered but 19 Knesset seats in losing big to Ehud Barak in the 1999 election which led to Barak’s in-the-dead-of-night withdrawal under fire from South Lebanon which laid the seeds for last summer’s capture of IDF soldiers and the Lebanon conflict with Hezbollah. This is the same Bibi who did still worse in garnering 12 Knesset seats while being pummelled in the March, 2006 elections by Ehud Olmert who tied the Lebanon conflict to convergence as northern Israel suffered bombardment of hundreds of Katyushas and thus suffered the devastating, strategic and discrediting loss of the Lebanon conflict and resultant infringements upon Jewish sovereignty and self-defense by 3rd party military forces. read more
