Outrage Against OU Decision to Honor Ehud Olmert

Full Text;

Protesters, including religious Jewish immigrants from North America who were evicted from their homes during the Disengagement and wounded by police brutality at Amona, will protest the Orthodox Union’s decision to honor Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at their annual convention in Jerusalem.

A protest rally under the banner “Hey OU – Olmert isn’t kosher” will take place outside the convention. “I find it hard to comprehend why a Torah organization would want to invite a person who has practically declared war on the National Religious camp in Israel,” protester Steve Schwartz wrote to the organization. “Your organization’s actions are a slap in the face to your fellow religious Jews in Israel.” read more

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

Olmert Prefers Surgical Strikes to Widespread Military Operation in Gaza

Full Text;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Thursday on his return from a four-day visit to the United States that he prefers surgical strikes on terror targets in Gaza rather than a widespread military operation.

“There are many opinions on how to deal with the Kassam fire,” he said. “We must remember that this war will not be over in one blow.”

Olmert said it did not make sense to carry out an offensive similar to Operation Defensive Shield in Judea and Samaria in 2002, because in the end, it didn’t completely eradicate terrorism. read more

Nobel Winner Doubts Israel’s Survival, By Nadav Shragai (Haaretz)

Commentary;

This blog has asserted on numerous occasions, most recently in a Vort: Yom Kippur 5767: Unity, Brachot and the Jews; Kohanim to Mankind — Revisited;

“Sometime in the past few generations, particularly over the past 20 years, as prophesized by Moshe as the Jews prepared to enter Eretz Yisrael and to stand on Har Eival and Har Grizim to hear the Blessings and Curses, we forgot Torah; we forgot why there is an Eretz Yisrael, why it was given to the Jews for all times, why it is that we are living here now, why the land laid totally fallow in the years that our aveirot brought Hashem to banish us from it and how it is that Eretz Yisrael has thrived and flourished upon our return.” MB read more

War Committee to Begin Probe Monday By Herb Keinon (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

The Winograd Committee, created to probe the war in Lebanon, is expected to start its work on Monday, following a tortuous route, whereby it took almost as long for the government to set up a committee to investigate the war as it did to fight the war itself.

The cabinet on Sunday approved the establishment of the Winograd Governmental Investigative Committee by a vote of 20-2, with Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz (Kadima) abstaining. read more

Fatah: Hamas Ready to Accept Deal on Ceasefire, Release of Shalit

Excerpts;

Senior Fatah sources in Gaza said on Saturday that Hamas is ready to accept a deal that involves freeing abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, a joint cease-fire and an end to IDF actions in the Gaza Strip.

What is not clear is whether Khaled Meshal, the Hamas leader in Damascus, will sanction the Egyptian-brokered deal.

The initiative, proposed by Egypt and discussed by Palestinian leaders in Gaza in the last few days, consists of freeing Gilad Shalit, a joint cease-fire and the cessation of the IDF’s assassinations in the Gaza Strip and freeing Palestinian prisoners later on. read more

Commentary #1

These stories may not seem related, but just maybe they are. Something to think about? Could this be what when former NSC Chairman Major General Giora Eiland had in mind in suggesting to ” … Compensate Egypt with 150 square kilometers in the southern Negev …”?

BBC: Gaza Rockets Real Threat to Israel

Get The Kids Out of Sderot

Excerpt;

I’m sure the Education Ministry, together with a bit of the volunteering spirit that has yet to completely disappear from Israeli society, could help organize a much calmer summer for hundreds of kids than the one they are expecting. The “message” of such a plan would not be to flex our national muscles. Rather, it would show simple, human and obvious concern for the welfare of children who see through the lies that “we are doing our best” as they continue to shake with fear. read more

Tired of Fighting and Winning, by Evelyn Gordon

Excerpts;

Kadima’s campaign spots, by highlighting Ariel Sharon and billing Ehud Olmert merely as his heir, send an unintentionally revealing message: that Olmert himself has nothing to offer the country, so he must instead exploit the popularity of Kadima’s comatose founder. And an analysis of Olmert’s recent statements confirms this conclusion: He indeed has nothing to offer – except lies, empty promises and evasion of responsibility. read more

This author has been fighting with himself for weeks as to how to break this news to the readership.

On the heels of the catastrophic expulsions of the past six months, when one looks around at what’s out there to vote for in the coming election; a bunch of gutless, meaningless right wing parties (including the governing party who’s central committee didn’t go stark, raving mad when Sharon disregarded the Likud referendum), each of them who sat glued to their seats at crucial points when any of them could have voted against the expulsion and brought about the end of the government. read more
