Security Lapse at Yehuda Regional IDF Base

.

Commentary;

Marzel’s got a point about the possibility of Arabs infiltrating the base. This author has never seen a picture of Itamar Ben-Gvir before, but the higher media profile Marzel is definitely known. So if young soldiers can’t visually distinguish Marzel from other soldiers “coming for an exercise,” its a sad commentary on the awareness of most Israelis. Marzel and Ben-Gvir did the IDF a great service. But the IDF wears pie on its face.

Hopefully, the guards will receive better training in the future, rather than having to spend days in the slammer as is commonly meted out to soldiers who make this type of mistake of non-recognition which is later publicized in the media. Hopefully, young soldiers will learn to be attentive to the faces of national personalities. MB read more

About this, Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA wrote the following;

In the next days we will know if this move is the action of some low level person in the IDF or a cynical move being directed from the Olmert team to turn the screws on the settlers to help make their lives more miserable in the hopes that they will get the message and start packing. read more

Still More Proof Olmert Regime Dividing Jerusalem; Shas Remains

.


Commentary;

Despite the increasing blatancy of the Olmert Regime’s division of Jerusalem, Shas remains in the government. Quite frankly, one must doubt that they would even make good their most recent empty “threat” to leave the government over bakeries selling and restaurants serviing Hametz during Pesach. The Shas party and its leadership have shown themselves to be a shallow, external appearing “religious” party, totally lacking ANY Jewish principles or values. One Gentile blogger looking at Shas’ hypocrisy has a point; They are pathetic. MB read more
