Peres: ‘Saudi Plan Good, But Needs Negotiating’

“Olmert was happy to lie to the public and claim that Abbas had agreed to end the rocket attacks on the Western Negev, he knows full well that he won’t.”

Excerpts;

Last November 26, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered the IDF to withdraw its forces from Gaza. Sounding oddly triumphant, Olmert announced that he had reached a cease-fire with the Palestinians. The strangeness of his statement became apparent when just hours later Sderot absorbed yet another bombardment of rockets from Gaza. read more

Israel Can’t Do Business With Terrorists, by Ehud Olmert (Wall Street Journal Monday, June 3, 2002) Courtesy of IMRA

“If anyone in Israel still had faith in Arafat and his Palestinian security services by October 2000, the Arab violence that commenced that month put it to rest forever”: Ehud Olmert

Full Text;

State Department envoy William Burns’s return to the Middle East promoting the American-backed regional peace summit tragically coincides with the resumption of the daily Palestinian suicide bombings. As Israeli civilians are being murdered in cities all across the Jewish State, the Palestinian leadership is once again damning these new peace initiatives to failure. Terrorism is still part of their tactical plan. read more

Parshiyot Vayakhel/Pekudei: Paradigm Leadership, Accountability and Transparency = Unity of Klal Israel

moshe

by Moshe Burt

The terms leadership, accountability and transparency have been bandied about often since last summer’s snafu in Lebanon and over these past months with the host of open files on both the state attorney general’s and state comptroller’s desk.

Our Parsha Vayakhel is dedicated to teaching B’nai Yisrael about Shabbat which has always, until recent times, been the unifying, defining factor of Judaism. It alludes to all else — Yishuv HaAretz, Kiddushin, etc. It symbolizes the Jew’s faith in Hashem. The parsha begins by stating that “Moshe assembled the entire congregation of B’nai Yisrael…” (Perek 35, Posuk 1) However, Torah’s loshen (language) “Adat B’nai Yisrael”, in the context of learning the laws of Shabbos as related to the construction of the Mishkan seems to indicate a unity, as one, amongst the Assembly of the B’nai Yisrael. read more

Will the the Winograd Commission be Free of Taint or in Any Way Transparent?

moshe

Light, Not Leaks (Jerusalem Post Editorial)

“In principle, of course, keeping the citizenry in the dark negates the commission’s raison d’etre – to uncover what went wrong, expose errors and name those responsible.”

Full Text;

Last week the public was told that the Winograd Commission’s interim report on the conduct of last summer’s Lebanese conflict, expected on March 27, will include no “personal recommendations.”

Moreover, no “warnings will be issued” to top brass, thereby lowering the likelihood of eventual stringent conclusions. read more

A President Rivlin Would NOT Block Barghouti Release

Rivlin: If Elected, I Won’t Prevent Barghouti’s Release

Excerpts;

MK Ruby Rivlin, who will apparently face Minister Shimon Peres in the upcoming election for Israel’s next President, says he won’t stand in the way of a government decision to free murderous terrorist Marwan Barghouti.

It appears that the Knesset will choose from between MK Rivlin (Likud) and Deputy Prime Minister Peres (Kadima) when it elects Israel’s 9th President this coming July.

Rivlin, who served as Knesset Speaker from 2003-2006, met over the past few days with a delegation of foreign ambassadors and delegates in the Knesset. He told them that though he objects to an early release for arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti, he would not – by refusing to sign a pardon – veto a government decision to free him. read more

Gush Etzion Municipality to Honor Former Disengagement Defense Minister Mofaz

moshe

Commentary;

Gush Etzion Mayor Shaul Goldstein has apparently buried or subordinated his principles (if he had any in the first place), in awarding and glorifying Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, former Defense Minister during the August, 2005 expulsions of Jews from Gush Katif and 4 Shomron towns. Goldstein argues that Mofaz is receiving an award because of his refurbishment of Efrat Junction and because Gush Etzion is asking him to “double the lanes leading to Jerusalem.” This seems a definite case of distateful political glorification; Mofaz’s calling in the “debt”: the payoff for merely doing his job. read more

While the Olmert Regime Stonewall Continues; Clouds of War with Syria??

Commentary;

While Syria smells blood, Jewish blood and prepares for war, the Olmert Yudenrein regime casts national security and the national wellbeing to the wind in it’s mad dash to spin surrender, to spin convergence, in whatever disguise, at all costs. MB
