Shas: Playing for Olmert’s Funny-Money With Jerusalem On Line?

.

Commentary;

As we watch the time tick down to the 6 PM Wednesday release of the “final” Winograd report on the summer 2006 Lebanon conflict, there are three reports well worth reading for background as to whether or not the Winograd report will be the fatal blow to the Olmert regime’s continuance in power. Below are excerpts from each, but readers of this blog should read each report in total for possible perspectives in the days to come. Can Olmert be taken at his word? Is delaying Jerusalem until last placing it in a fait accompli situation? read more

An Army’s Ability to Instill a Government With Confidence and Courage

.
Commentary;

Journalist and author Uri Dan, of blessed memory, who was niftar one year ago, wrote the piece excerpted below commemorating the 30th anniversary of the rescue at Entebbe less than 6 months before passing away.

Dan’s assessment nearly 1 1/2 years ago seems as valid today as it seemed then, despite the Olmert regime’s fiasco in Lebanon and ongoing snafu regarding protection of the southern towns from Kassam, mortar and possible Katyusha bombardments and the rooting out and eliminating the terrorist threat. read more

The Hand of Hashem in Plague of Darkness: In Final Redemption, “No Jew Remains in Exile”

.
Commentary;

This Parsha HaShevua by Levi Chazen of Yeshivat HaRa’ayon HaYehudi seems a fitting companion for this author’s vort earlier this week; Parsha Vayechi 5768: The End of Corruption and Etrogization Begins With Us in that it continues where this author left off by presenting a chilling parallel between the Plague of Darkness and the prelude to the Ge’ula Shlaima.

The call is worth heeding and taking with deadly seriousness! MB

Gov’t of Israel: For Shame; A Jew Does NOT Abandon Another Jewish Brother

.

Commentary;

Rav Shmuel Eliyahu repeats yet again what this blog has reiterated numerous times; the systematic betrayal of Jonathan Pollard, again and again, by sucessive ISRAELI governments and by establishment so-called “Jewish leaders.”

This author holds that it is the abandonment of Pollard which set in motion the precedent and mindset for the abandonment of South Lebanon, the Oslo “agreements”, the expulsions of Jews from their homes, communities and Jewish Land in Gush Katif and the 4 Shomron towns. The abandonment of Pollard by the ISRAELI government paved the way down the step road of decay that has led to the absurdity and humiliation of Annapolis. read more

Israel’s “Defensible Borders”: The Map the Olmert Regime Withholds From the Public

.

Noted journalist and Middle East commentator Emanuel A. Winston posted a commentary on December 8th which featured the above map which was a topic of recent discussions between Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Admiral Michael Mullen, the current Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

First, to describe the map;

The darkened areas represent, as the map legend states, the “minimum territory needed by Israel for defense purposes.”

History behind the map as recounted by Emanuel A. Winston; read more

Olmert, Barak, Livni, Ramon, etc. — Israeli System of Governance, Institutions; Indictable for Subversion, Seduction Against the Jews?

.

UPDATED

This author has just finished learning Gemara Sanhedrin Chapter 11 — Cheilik, that is; to learn who is worthy of Olam Habah, who is not and who goes from this world to Gehennom for their deeds.

The final Mishna cited in Perek Cheilek deals with the Subverted or Seduced City (Ir HaNidachas). This Mishna takes up the last two pages of the chapter 11. And without going into specific cases regarding witnesses, exact circumstances, whether the subverters were defined by halacha as citizens of the city or outsiders, ownership of property or possessions which resided either inside or outside of the city, the Mishna parallels posukim in Wikepedia’s rendering of the pertinent posukim of Parsha Re’eh; read more

Devarim — Everyman a Leader in Applying Learning, Kiddush Hashem Outside Beit Medrash

by Moshe Burt

A few years ago, Rav Aba Wagensberg spoke out in a shiur that Sefer Devarim represents Moshe Rabbeinu’s Mussar to B’nai Yisrael as the time of his death drew near.

He explained that near the end of Sefer BaMidbar, we began to see indications, via the story of Zelafchad’s daughters, Reuven and Gad’s desire to settle east of the Jordan, etc., that the B’nai Yisrael finally desired to accept Moshe Rabbeinu’s teachings and his Mussar which was meant to bring about the perfection of the Jewish people in emulation of the ways of Hashem as they were about to enter Eretz Yisrael. read more

Altering the Defeatist State of Mind

See to Our Needs First, by Prof. Israel Aumann (Ynet- Opinion)

Prof. Israel Aumann: There is no leadership crisis, but rather, crisis among the people

Commentary;

The “crisis among the people” which Professor Aumann speaks of evolves from the fractionalization and fragmentation of the people, such as what brings religious political elements to support an Oslo, to support a Peres presidency, etc.

And it is this fragmentation which permits the current leadership, to divide and conquer and thus maintain and perpetuate its entrenched political and governmental power. This is what the people must change — NOT merely with their feet, walking to the election booth and voting for a Feiglin or a Marzel or an Uri Ariel — all on one unified team. Everything which comes before must change resulting in enabling them to be viable and to win. read more

Olmert On Unilateral Withdrawal [Disengagement, Consolidation, Realignment, etc]: Clueless in 2003, Clueless Now

Commentary;

Ehud Olmert was clueless then and is clueless now. Yet the answers, the solutions are not so difficult to comprehend as to our current predicament. To gain a higher level of understanding regarding the point that Dr. Lerner is conveying here, click here for Parsha Shelach and Political Abrogation of Mutual Responsibility — One for His Brother.

Like the Miraglim of Shelach who sought and lusted after maintainance of their own power and influence at all cost over going right into Eretz Yisrael, first and foremost to the Olmerts’, the Peres’, the Livnis’, the Baraks’ and their ilk is the maintainance and perpetuation of their power, influence, their self-enrichment. Their true motivations are concealed by their rationalizations; the US, the EU, Oslo, “Land for Peace”, “Roadmaps”, disengagement, convergence, etc. — their electorate be damned. read more
