Commentary;

Caroline Glick dispels the dangerous, outrageous myth promulgated and inculcated by successive Israeli governments unto the governed that Western or UN forces “will unburden the country of the need to protect itself.” Those of us, however, who pay close attention to history recognize Israel’s founding doctrine that “international legitimacy, peace treaties, alliances and common interests only matter in the presence of the hard power of military force” is as valid today as when Ben-Gurion conceived it.

Parsha Eikev 5768: Meriting Eretz Yisrael

moshe

by Moshe Burt

Parsha Eikev is equated in terms of one’s being attentive to the little Mitzvot; the details, the Mitzvot that one tends to overlook, to ignore, to tread one’s heels on in the mad dash, but without which the Jewish people would lack the merit which sets us apart from common man. The little mitzvot, the small details are the ones epitomized by V’Ahavtah L’re’echa Komocha — caring for your fellow Jew as for yourself.

And so, we find Parsha Eikev placed on the heels of the end of Parsha Vaetchanan’s teachings regarding tefillin and mezuzah. read more

Israeli Political Protexia: Ignoring Failure in Gaza

moshe

.
Commentary;

Below is Caroline Glick’s scathing indictment of Israel’s current governance, from Ehud Olmert, to Tzipi Livni, to Ehud Barak and beyond. This commentary is essentially echoed and bolstered by Evelyn Gordon whose commentary is found below under Related reports. MB

Ignoring Failure in Gaza, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“His [Sharon’s] incapacitation itself made discussing the failure of the withdrawal somehow unseemly…. ‘How dare you add insult to injury’ by noting that his most significant action while in power imperiled the country? …Not only Sharon, but all his supporters in his government, were immunized from criticism and the need to account for their strategic imbecility.” read more

Barak, Mofaz vs Livni: Welcome to the WWF, Israel-Style

moshe

.

Commentary;

This author is no fan of either Ehud Barak or Shaul “One Foot Out the Door” Mofaz. But Mofaz is totally right regarding Livni, the Mossad House-sitter. She’s a lightweight contesting for a job way over her head and way over her intellectual and moral capability to perform.

Consider these comments by Mofaz, Barak and Livni in Gil Hoffman’s JPost report;

“Security does not mean just being a military man,” Livni told the Web site. “It’s looking beyond and evaluating a situation while taking into account regional, socioeconomic, and military processes, preparing systems and using good sense and judgment that is not based on familiarity with just one field. It means asking the right questions and finding solutions to problems. That’s what is required in a leader.” read more
