During the heated campaign between Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama for the Democratic candidacy for US President, Clinton has made a number of statements specifically directed toward the Jewish vote, particularly during the run-up to Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary. This author takes great issue with one of these statements in particular.

Before the masses of American Jews take Hillary Clinton’s recent statement; If Iran attacks Israel, the US could ‘totally obliterate them’ as a great achievement and an expression of unshakable alliance with Israel, this author feels compelled to harken back to the great American actor/comedian Jimmy Durante, who during his act, would grab his hat, shake that monstrous nose and bellow; read more

The Olmert-Livni-Barak regime’s “confidence-building” appeasement concessions to Abbas and the Palestinian Authority impairs and demoralizes IDF counterterror capabilities thus setting in place yet another self-fulfilling prophesy, such as in Gaza where the regime states that “there is no defense against the rockets” which translated means that they lack the moral strength, courage and resolve to completely vanquish it’s enemy.

Ehud Olmert has been cited numerous times on this blog as stating; read more

Near the end of Caroline Glick’s article below, she suggests three things that Israel do to express a power game; Use of her economic leverage by virtue of technological prowess, impressing on the Germans and the other Europeans that Israel possesses considerable military power (despite the Lebanon fiasco of two years ago) and will use it to defeat its enemies and exposition of “Europe’s humanitarian and pro-peace rhetoric as a hypocritical sham” meant to cover over both their long-engrained disdain, if not outright hatred for Jews, as well economic and diplomatic appeasement of the Islamic world. read more

There is a type of “convergence” of several major stories of this time into one;

• The not-so-secret meetings between Ehud Olmert, Tzipy Livni, Mahmud Abbas and Ahmed Qurei in which Jerusalem is being divided, despite Olmert’s dubious denials.
• Shas’ egregious failure to keep their promise to leave the government, despite the now open fact that Jerusalem is being divided.
• Shas’ opting for deals, such as the Givat Ze’ev project — housing for Shas constituents and $475 million NIS and more in exchange for their continued presence in the government and facilitation of division of Jerusalem.
• The fact that Israeli government lack of credibility is such that the public and legislators believe more pronouncements of enemies rather than Regime denials such as that of Mahmoud Abbas’s announcement that Egypt mediated a “hudna” with Hamas in Gaza or regarding Jerusalem division talks.
• Abject failure of the Olmert regime, at all levels, to secure the nation against terrorist acts; be they by way of rockets and mortars, drive-by and rock-throwing terror and lynchings, lack of enablement of credible military responses to all forms of terror, lack of security in public buildings enabling such acts as the terror pogrom at Yeshiva Merkaz HaRav to occur, willful neglect or failure of the police to act as in their hesistance to enter the Yeshiva which enabled the toll of terror death and casualties to mount and more.

Olmert, facing pressure from “the nations” coupled with self-hatred for Jewishness and overwhelming lust for perpetuation of his prime ministerial power, will back down on Givat Ze’ev just as sure as he backed down on mounting a credible invasion of Gaza, just as he backed down on connecting Ma’alei Adumim to Jerusalem, just as he invaded Lebanon hodge-podge, not to win, in July 2006. read more

Commentary;

Israel must use and depend on ONLY her military and spiritual strength to defend herself, regardless of world opinion, for the world only shows compassion for Jewish gravestones, if even then. The superpower is NO substitute for Shemayim. Israel must act on her own behalf at ALL times; “If not for one’s self, who else will be?” MB
