Commentary;
The “protexia class”, a term coined by Barak of IRIS, is a definition of Ehud Olmert, Tzipy Livni and their cronies who would sell Eretz Yisrael and the nation’s security to avoid leftist judicial prosecution and conviction for corruption, graft and wrong-doing.
Rather than to do the right thing for the nation, for the Am Yehudi, and to own-up to their wrong-dong Olmert, Livni, Ramon and their gang, as with Sharon and his family before them, have taken protexia (defined by the Oxford English-Hebrew dictionary as “favoritism, influence, pull”) to new levels in penalty and personal liability avoidance for their wrong-doing, mal-feasance and non-feasance.

Commentary;
There’s no great new revelation here. Rabbis and outreach professionals as well as public opinion professionals have foretold this detachment for decades, for centuries.
And why this increasing detachment? When Israel’s own leaders eat and whittle away Israel’s raison d’etre for existence; the rebirth of a Jewish medina, a Jewish home and nation; it seems only natural that as marginal Jews drift further and further fom their Jewish roots and heritage, the evolving hypocrisy of Israel’s elitist governmental leaders, now in denial of the modern nation’s founding ideals, would inevitably take it’s toll.

Commentary;
On Wednesday, 5 September, 2007 George Friedman of Strategic Forecasting, Inc. released a paper which debunks the myths of Harvard professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt regarding the activities and “manipulations (sic)” of the “Israel Lobby.”
This blog has excerpted only the summation of Friedman’s paper.
Contrary to Mearsheimer and Walt’s assertions that successive adminstration’s having been manipulated “The Israel Lobby”, Friedman’s paper on the history of US/Israel relations shows conclusively that the United States dogmatically pursues it’s own interests and extends support and cooperation to another country ONLY when that country’s interests are deemed amenable by a US administration, the state department, etc. to the perceived interests of the U.S. Thus we see, for example, perennial US support for such as Saudi Arabia, primarily based on Saudi oil leverage and America’s gas needs and mobility.

Analysis: ‘Waiting for Babies to Die is No Strategy’, by Amir Mizroch (Jerusalem Post)
“Although it can never hurt to fortify classrooms and to create readily accessible bomb shelters, the real solution to the problems of rocket attacks on Sderot and the western Negev… must be a ‘war to the end’ on the terror leadership and infrastructure of the Gaza Strip. “
