Report: Iranian Missiles Can Strike 600 Israeli Targets

Excerpts;

“Iran claims… that it wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the wake of an attack by the United States or Israel.”

“On Saturday night, US troops in Iraq uncovered a field containing 50 Iranian-made rocket launchers, all aimed at a US army base.

The discovery came after the US claimed that an explosively formed penetrator – a high-tech device that the US military believes is smuggled from Iran – was used against US forces in the Baghdad area earlier Saturday.” read more

Antiquities Authority, Police Play Politics with Islamic Digs on Har HaBayit

moshe

Commentary;

Very interesting how the recent Mughrabi Gate construction and maintenance drew the virulent ire of the Arabs, the West and the Israeli left such that the weak-willed Olmert called in the Turks to be “impartial inspectors” and then shortly after, the project was ditched.

But, the unsupervised Arab digging on the Temple Mount, taking place for years, and Arab consolidation of their hold on Judaism’s Holiest Site continues to this day amidst the silent complicity and acquiesence of successive Israeli governments. MB read more

Do State Comptroller’s Report, Winograd Final Spell New Elections?

moshe

Commentary;

It appears that Olmert’s end as prime minister may be coming close. Will the State Comptroller’s report oust him or will the final hammer blow come from the Winograd Committee final report? Or will Olmert either pull off a desperate “agreement” with Abbas or, maybe with
Assad which will solidify his power while seperating us from more Jewish land, causing expusion of more Jews and putting us all in dire peril? Or will Der Shlickster pull off another maneuver testifying to his total contempt for the rule of law and justice? MB read more

Olmert Says He Identifies First as a Jew

Full text;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told participants at a conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday that he identifies himself first as a Jew, then as an Israeli.

The prime minister told the conference, which focused on the future of the Jewish people in Jerusalem, that in his younger years he would have declared himself to be an Israeli first, then a Jew.

Commentary;

What a laugh!!! What a distorted, demented mind. Olmert’s remarks before a conference on the future of the Jewish people that he “identifies first as a Jew” are blatantly disingenuous and self-serving. It seems obvious to this author that Olmert defines himself, not based on Jewishness, but on corruption, greed, exploitation and EXPULSION of Jews from Jewish land! MB read more
