.
Commentary;

To paraphrase Richard Nixon, we don’t have Amir Peretz and Dan Halutz “to kick around anymore” — they’re gone from the scene.

But the question is now, after the Winograd report comes out at January’s end, will the governed unify and rise up to demand, to compel — in unison and in massive numbers — that the Prime Minister and his foreign minister — the two highest ranking government officials still in power who unquestionably bare the greatest responsibility for the Lebanon debacle of summer, 2006 accept responsibility for the harm done to Israel and resign or be dismissed?

Commentary;

In reading Natan Sharansky’s words excerpted below, particularly where he cites Yassir Arafat at Camp David in 2000 as declaring “that since Jerusalem belonged to all Arabs and Muslims, he had no right to make the decision about the relinquishment alone – and therefore needed to consult the Arab and Muslim League,” this author reflected back on a citation in the sefer “Torah Gems”, by Aharon Yaakov Greenberg (Vol. 2, page 103).

Will Israeli Politicians Allow Olmert to Remain PM?

.

Commentary;

Caroline Glick, in her column excerpted below, corroborates the math presented here and adds one more factor; the possiblility of 11 Kadima rebels who could constitute “the final hammer blow” which destroys Olmert’s regime and forces new elections.

The big question is; do Israeli politicians have the overriding courage to drive new elections even though, for many, it could mean lost seats? When will the term political courage become more than a laughable oxymoron on the Israeli political scene? MB read more

Olmert Engages in Psychological “Projection” of Word — Disgrace

.

Commentary;

Michael Freund puts Olmert’s word “disgrace” in real perspective. The question is; who is a disgrace? The youth who love and cleave to Hashem’s legacy to B’nai Yisrael — the Land of Israel? Or an etrogized power-abusive Prime Minister lacking elective mandate and who races to place the nation in dire, mortal and territorial peril in order to evade legal judgement for his own dereliction of leadership (Lebanon conflict) and his personal, political corruption, graft and moral turpitude?
