The High Court of Justice is due on to hold a hearing on Sunday concerning two petitions challenging the legality of the procedure in which a Jewish company took possession of 900 dunams of land in the West Bank and the construction of apartment buildings for Jewish settlers on the site.

The Car Needs a Front-End ‘Realignment’ …

While saying over the vort on this week’s Parsha HaShevua, a few thoughts occured to this author which are presented here.

One thought is about Ehud Olmert’s latest term for disengagement = expulsion (convergence, consolidation), ‘realignment.’

It would seem that Olmert looks at Medinat Yisrael as an out-of-alignment auto. Apparently those “crazy believing Jews” with their connection to Eretz Yisrael, have kareemed over too many speed-bumps and thrown the national auto out of alignment.

Olmert thus hopes to play on the desires of Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu voters, and, to a lesser extent, those of the hareidi-religious United Judaism Party (UTJ), to see their parties in the government. read more

Netanyahu: Concessions Will be Necessary in Future Agreement

Excerpts;

“Netanyahu volunteered in his Herzliya speech that in the framework of either a permanent or interim agreement, he would be willing to withdraw from parts of Judea and Samaria. ‘It’s clear that in a peace agreement, we will have to make concessions,’ the former Prime Minister said, ‘but I will not give up on our security.'”

“The Likud Chairman also said that in any event, every proposed territorial concession will be brought to the nation in the form of a referendum.” read more
