Our World: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, By Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

As I drove along the empty, beautiful, mountain road and gazed at the rocket smoke buffeting upwards from Mt. Meron, Safed, and Rosh Pinna below me, commentators on the radio kept asking, “Why is Hizbullah attacking Israel now?” Former generals spoke of the need for Israel to restore our deterrence against Hizbullah.

FOR SIX years, since Ehud Barak surrendered to the demands of the radical, EU-funded Israeli Left and withdrew IDF forces from southern Lebanon in May 2000, Israel stood by and did nothing as Hizbullah built up its massive arsenal of rockets and missiles. The IDF did nothing as Iran effectively set up shop along the border. read more

Column One: How Olmert Justifies Failure, By Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s secret visit to Sderot Tuesday morning was met with snorts of disgusted laughter…. The message he sends is clear: Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza last summer was a national security disaster – and he knows it.

Olmert said he hid his plan to visit Sderot because he didn’t want to give the Palestinian Authority a special reason to launch rockets against the city. That statement, like the government’s decision to retake the destroyed communities of Dugit, Elei Sinai and Nisanit in a bid to halt the Palestinian rocket offensive, is a clear admission that the IDF is incapable of defending southern Israel from outside the Gaza Strip. read more

From Yoni to Gilad, By Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

On Sunday, as Cpl. Gilad Shalit’s terrorist captors in Gaza prepared their ultimatum, in Jerusalem, at the Mt. Herzl military cemetery a crowd stood quietly around a grave, bowed their heads and remembered one of the greatest heroes the State of Israel has produced.

The 30th memorial ceremony for Lt.-Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, who was killed on July 4, 1976 while commanding the raid that freed more than 100 hostages held in Entebbe by Palestinian and German terrorists, could not have come at a more significant moment. For Israel’s Arab enemies, who today hold Cpl. Shalit, no doubt the decision to set July 4, 2006 as their deadline for Israeli surrender to their demands is motivated by their desire to wipe out for the world Yoni’s legacy and that of the Entebbe raid he led. read more

Column One: Olmert Doesn’t Get It, By Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Since replacing Ariel Sharon in office last December, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has refused to permit a large-scale IDF incursion into the Gaza Strip. The hundreds of rockets, mortars and missiles that have rendered the Western Negev’s population and economy hostage to Palestinian rocket crews could not budge him from his refusal to take the war to the enemy…

The fact that Israel’s intelligence collection capabilities in Gaza were grievously undermined in the aftermath of last summer’s withdrawal; the fact that IDF commanders acknowledge that more weaponry has been brought into Gaza in the past ten months than entered in the previous 38 years, made no impression. Repeated reports of Al Qaida opening shop in Gaza and of Iranian Revolutionary Guards units training Fatah and Hamas members in the destroyed Israeli communities were dismissed as unimportant, irrelevant and insignificant. read more

Olmert in Paris: ‘Convergence is Unstoppable’

Excerpt;

“Convergence is unstoppable,” Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday after meeting with French President Jacques Chirac in Paris. “It will be implemented. I hope with negotiations, but also without [negotiations],” the prime minister emphasized.

PA At War Til Bitter End; Israeli Public Is In Denial

Excerpts;

Glick was quick to label Olmert’s convergence or re-alignment plan an Israeli surrender, “It’s surrender. It’s the transfer of Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem to Hamas and Al-Qaeda. He’s pushing an Israeli surrender; he’s pushing the national destruction of Israel, that’s what he’s pushing.” read more

Only ’20-30 Settlements’ to be Removed

Excerpts;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s plans for the division of the West Bank involve the dismantling and relocation of 20 to 30 settlements, and not the previously assumed evacuation of the vast majority of the settlements on the far side of the security barrier, the prime minister’s adviser for settlements, Uzi Keren, has told The Jerusalem Post. read more

I Give Up on Israel, by Joseph Farah

Excerpts;

I am through defending Israel – at least the regime currently in power in Jerusalem, this useless coalition seemingly hell-bent on committing national suicide.

Next week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, a man I once considered, like his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, a reasonable, rational, level-headed defender of his country, is set to visit Washington with his hand out.

He is asking for an initial commitment of up to $10 billion in direct U.S. aid to implement his plan for national retreat, appeasement of the global jihad and a new sellout of more than 200,000 Israeli civilians who have made their homes in historically Jewish lands in Judea and Samaria at the behest and recommendation of earlier Israeli governments. read more

Bird Flu Over the Cuckoos Nest and Other Reflections
by Ellen W. Horowitz

Until a week ago, every time I spotted flocks of migratory birds from my kitchen window in the Golan Heights, I would grab the binoculars and rush the kids outside to watch a spectacular site. Nowadays, when I spot the flocks, I yell “duck”, grab the kids, and race into the house for cover.

That I have 10 chickens running around my backyard adds to my anxiety. I’ve come to like my chickens. If you recall, two years ago Purim, I expressed a different type of chicken anxiety in “One Tough Chicken.” And so every morning, I arise and look out of my window to see if they’re all still alive and well. It gives new meaning to the expression, counting your chickens before they…croak (G-d forbid). read more

Is comparison #2 appropo?

Excerpts;

… Ma’ariv – like every other newspaper in the country, led its Friday edition with its “exclusive” interview with Kadima leader and Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Although Olmert told Ma’ariv, as he told every other newspaper in the country, that he is planning to destroy many, many Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria if he becomes elected and surrender the vast majority of the areas, as well as a number of neighborhoods in Jerusalem, to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, he did not once explain how doing so would advance Israel’s national interests or thwart the global campaign of jihad. read more
