Lieberman Quits Government, All Eyes on Shas, Rav Ovadia

moshe

.

Commentary;

The math is this simple; with Yisrael Beiteinu in the government, the regime controlled 78 Knesset seats. Without Lieberman’s 11 member faction, the number stands at 67. IF Shas follows suit and its 12 MKs leave, the Olmert regime falls to 55; below the majority of 61 needed to govern. Meretz, with their 5 seats could join but Olmert would still be short of majority by one seat. Meretz, with their concerns over the handling of the Lebanon conflict as well as economic concerns, might also not join, but support Olmert’s division of Jerusalem from the outside. read more

From all appearances of the Maariv report below, as conveyed by Dr. Aaron Lerner and IMRA, the answer seems a resounding and disastrous NO! MB

Maariv: Givati Brigade Exercise Find 71 soldiers Killed First 24 Hours in Simulation Entering Gaza, by Dr. Aaron Lerner IMRA

Full Text;

Maariv correspondent Amir Buchbut reports in today’s edition that reservists in the Givati Brigade say a recent exercise they carried out practicing an invasion of the Gaza Strip found 71 soldiers killed in the first 24 hour of the invasion. The heavy losses were attributed to the major improvement in weapons and explosives that the Palestinians have amassed thanks to the long period during which they have been able to smuggle and prepare for battle. read more

Olmert Offering Gimmel Same Rubber Funny-Money as Sharon Did

moshe

.

Commentary;

Back when Gimmel joined Sharon’s coalition upon Shinui’s leaving, with their (UTJ’s) inclusion enabling the expulsion, their joining was to be temporary pending certain considerations. Well it became permanent and the money they were promised by the Sharon regime never materialized following their abstentions in the actual Knesset voting for the expulsion.

Now, as Avigdor Lieberman and Yisrael Beiteinu threaton to leave the government due to Olmert’s “negotiating” of “core issues” with the PA, Olmert, as Sharon did in the months before expelling our brethren from Gush Katif, is working to lure Gimmel into coalition with Kadima to enable convergence and abandonment of Jewish land by offering them the same rubber, funny-money which Sharon never delivered 3 years ago. read more

Parsha Beshalach 5768: Learning From Moshe and Being As One With Our Brother’s Suffering

moshe

.

by Moshe Burt

Near the end of our Parsha, we read “And the hands of Moshe were heavy and they took a rock and placed it under him and he sat on it.” (Sefer Sh’mos, Perek 17, posuk 12)

Rabbi Pliskin in Growth Through Torah cites a Rashi which states “that
Moshe did not sit on a comfortable pillow, but a rock. There was a battle going on with Amalek and Moshe wanted to feel the suffering of the people. This, said Rabbi Yeruchem Levovitz, is a lesson in feeling for another person’s suffering. Not only should we mentally feel their pain, but it is proper to do some action in order to feel some of the discomfort yourself when someone else experiences pain. This way [through empathy] you actually feel his pain.” (Growth Through Torah, Rabbi Zelig Pliskin, page 177, citing from Daas Torah, page 152) read more

Olmert Crossing the Ultimate Red Line to Doom Jewish State?

Commentary;

Based on TV Channel Ten reports, it sure seems that way. One again, the question MUST be asked; What’s it take to get the collective Jewish national backbone up? MB

Report: Olmert Agrees to Allow in 50,000 Arab ‘Refugees’, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

Reports are that Prime Minister Olmert has now agreed to allow 50,000 Arabs who left Israel in 1948 – or are descendants of those who did – to enter and live in Israel.

Channel Ten reported Thursday night that in a private meeting between Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen, the two agreed that in the final-status agreement, Israel would withdraw from 92% of Judea and Samaria, including all the non-Jewish neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem. It was also agreed that 50,000 “refugees from 1948” would enter and live in the State of Israel. read more

Amnesty Bill for Expulsion Opponents Includes Ban on IDF Discrimination, Not Included: Regime Suppression

Commentary;

It’s like this author heard repeatedly back 2 3/4 years ago in speaking with soldiers on buses to and from Neve Dekalim;

“If we don’t follow orders, we’ll lose our training, our career track, future job protexia.”

So too, the report below points out;

That the army quizzes recruits on their attitudes to the disengagement when deciding which units to assign them to. Army psychologists also proffer evaluative opinions, to ensure that the recruit is being straightforward about his opinion. If a youth is found to be “too right-wing,” a number of choices of unit assignment or army career paths are closed to him. read more
