Will Comptroller’s Report Have Clout? Will an Independent Commission, Prosecutions Emerge?


Commentary;

Will today’s state comptroller’s report have teeth, clout?? Will it trigger the Knesset State Control Committee’s empowerment by law to order the appointment of a Judicial Commission of Inquiry on the Lebanon conflict?

The regime’s “senior defense officials said Tuesday that the country was prepared, ‘more than ever,’ for another war.” * They claim that;

“The IDF is prepared for a war today better than it was last year,” declared one defense official. “Combat units are trained and the Home Front Command is better prepared today to deal with a missile onslaught than it was last summer.” read more

Olmert Regime: Paradigm of Unbridled Betrayal of the Governed

Commentary:

Caroline Glick characterizes the regime’s latest appeasement and surrender as a joke on Us. Anyone with a grain of intelligence and independence of though would have to agree.

By regime, this author means an entire politcal governing generation, with exceptions only counted on one hand; rotten, dishonest appeasors and corrupt to their very core.

The purest example of the latest appeasement and surrender is Olmert’s demand of Abbas that he not talk to Hamas. Anyone who really thinks that Abbas will refrain from any further contact with Hamas now that Olmert has given in to all of his demands, then I”ve got a bridge to sell you cheap!! For further proof of the emptiness of Olmert’s demand of Abbas to stay away from Hamas, click on these two eye-opening pieces from Barak of IRIS, here and here. MB read more

Devarim — Everyman a Leader in Applying Learning, Kiddush Hashem Outside Beit Medrash

by Moshe Burt

A few years ago, Rav Aba Wagensberg spoke out in a shiur that Sefer Devarim represents Moshe Rabbeinu’s Mussar to B’nai Yisrael as the time of his death drew near.

He explained that near the end of Sefer BaMidbar, we began to see indications, via the story of Zelafchad’s daughters, Reuven and Gad’s desire to settle east of the Jordan, etc., that the B’nai Yisrael finally desired to accept Moshe Rabbeinu’s teachings and his Mussar which was meant to bring about the perfection of the Jewish people in emulation of the ways of Hashem as they were about to enter Eretz Yisrael. read more

A Palestinian Choice (Jerusalem Post-Opinion)

“Like true gluttons for punishment, we are trying the same tactic again, this time with the same discredited leader.”

Excerpts;

Starting with Yasser Arafat following the 1993 Oslo Accords, Israel and the US have a long record of choosing “pragmatic” Palestinian leaders, attempting to prop them up, and watching with dismay as the guns and butter invested are squandered and turned against Israel. The latest disappointment has been Mahmoud Abbas, whose abundant Western-supplied weaponry was captured by the ton by Hamas, which easily overran Gaza, and sent Abbas’s forces packing. read more
