Olmert Regime: EU-led Trusteeship — Return to British Mandate Rule

Why Not an EU-led Trusteeship? Shlomo Breznitz (Jerusalem Post)

Commentary;

Today’s politicians are in denial. The elistists, in their “peace panic,” think that they have come up with an interesting, new, novel, workable concept to separate Jews from their heritage — The Land of Israel. World Net Daily’s Aaron Klein reported earlier this week about a proposal for “transferring control of Judea and Samaria to a European task force.”

Never mind that we have been there, done that once before, that an EU-led Trusteeship is nothing more than recycling the British Mandate of the 1920s through the 1940s which preceded the modern-day State of Israel as we know it. read more

Caroline Glick: “If We Want to Win, We Need to Fight.”

Making the Case Against Genocide, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Esteemed friends of Israel, such as Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz and former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler, could get no information from the Foreign Ministry, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Defense Ministry or the IDF’s Spokesman’s Unit. No one could be bothered to talk to them. No one had time to help them help Israel.”

Excerpts;

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an evil man. But he is not a stupid man. Indeed, he is smart and fastidious. He understands power and how to get it. And he understands that the purpose of a nation’s foreign policy is to sell ideas and messages and to build coalitions that enable a state to achieve its national aims. Due to his understanding and his abilities, Ahmadinejad has achieved significant success in advancing his policy aims of defeating the United States, destroying the State of Israel, and acquiring nuclear weapons. read more

Olmert Regime, and ALL of His Cronies Must Fall, NEW Elections Must Be Held

Our World: Olmert’s Heirs Apparent, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Just as Livni, in advancing her idea of giving Judea and Samaria to Fatah and Hamas, ignores the fact that Fatah and Hamas are not interested in peace with Israel, so Lieberman in advancing his plan to subsume Israeli sovereignty into EU and NATO membership pays no attention to the nature of these groups. He ignores the fact that the central guiding principle of EU foreign policy is support for the Palestinians – including Hamas – in their bid to destroy Israel.” read more

The Delusional World View of Olmert, Livni…

Column One: Israel’s Delighted Leaders, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“In Olmert and Livni’s world, Israel won the war in Lebanon this summer; UNIFIL forces are good for the Jews; and Hizbullah – which is now working to overthrow the Lebanese government – has no interest in renewing its war against Israel.

The government sees no reason to prevent 1,500 PLO terrorists from Jordan from marching into Gaza with their guns and their families.”

Excerpts;

To the delight of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, an international coalition has coalesced around Iran’s nuclear weapons program. read more

Our World: Israel’s Encirclement, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Unfortunately, at this critical moment in Israel’s history, we are led by Ehud Olmert, Amir Peretz and Tzipi Livni. Although Olmert claims that he is taking every step to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, through his government’s actions in recent months, he has steadily undercut the IDF’s ability to take decisive action against Iran. read more

Approaching War: Israel’s Military and Governmental Leaders in Denial…

Column One: As The Storm of War Approaches, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

The clouds of the coming war are converging upon Israel. But our political and military leaders refuse to look up at the darkening sky.

The Russian bear has awakened after 15 years of hibernation. Under the leadership of former KGB commander President Vladimir Putin, Russia is reasserting its traditional hostility towards Israel.

On Tuesday, Russian military engineers landed in Beirut. Their arrival signaled the first time that Russian forces have openly deployed in the Middle East. In the past Soviet forces in Syria and Egypt operated under the official cover of “military advisers.” Today those “advisers” are “engineers.” The Russian forces, which will officially number some 550 troops, are tasked with rebuilding a number of bridges that the IDF destroyed during the recent war. They will operate outside the command of UNIFIL. read more

Tzipi Livni: A Study in Governmental Incompetence and Gross Misconception…

Our World: Tzipi Livni and Us, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“We must hope that Livni is exposed as an incompetent, opportunistic phony before she can do us similar, if not greater damage in the future.”

Commentary;

A must-read article lest anyone conclude that Livni is governing material. MB

Excerpts;

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is an interesting case study in how a public image can trump professional competence in Israeli politics.

Livni was brought into politics by then prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu in 1999. The back-bencher became prominent in 2003 after undergoing two major transformations. First, she exchanged her frizzy light brown curls and dowdy dresses for straight blond hair and couture. Next she followed former premier Ariel Sharon from the nationalist camp to the post-Zionist camp. read more

“Order of Battle, by Division 91 Commander Brig. Gen. Gal Hirsh: ‘a massive infiltration with a small signature, charge, quick deployment in the commanding territories and the creation of cataclysmic contact with the built-up areas while inducing shock and awe.'”

“Division 91’s operations are being reviewed by none other than Brig.-Gen. Hirsh – who has asked to extend his command.” read more

Excerpts;

Benn continued, “The moment Hizbullah took control over… south [Lebanon] and armed itself with thousands of Katyushas and other rockets, a stable balance of deterrence was created on both sides of the border.”

On Thursday, Benn wrote a follow-up column excusing his own blindness by noting that “the IDF, the intelligence services and the government, which have at their disposal much better sources of information than mine, thought the same” of Nasrallah in the days before his Iranian bosses ordered him to war. read more

Olmert Regime Benign on Abbas Latest Ploy; Barghouti’s “Liberation of the Land” [All of Israel] …

Our World: Abbas’s Newest Big Lie, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Fresh from her tete-a-tete with PA leader Mahmoud Abbas last week, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni instructed her press flack to tell her fellow cabinet ministers to remain mum on Abbas’s latest “diplomatic” gambit. In the words of her communications director Shai Ben Maor, Abbas’s decision to turn a document written by convicted Palestinian murderers and attempted murderers sitting in Israeli prisons into the centerpiece of his diplomatic policy is “an internal Palestinian issue” and so Israel should not be weighing in on it. read more
