Excerpt;

Dr. Aaron Lerner (IMRA)

“The Olmert team appears to be no more the wiser in its approach towards the ever worsening situation in the Gaza Strip.”

“Yes, it was foolhardy to think that retreating from Gaza would advance peace.”

Excerpts;

Israel paid the cost in Lebanon for “ceteris paribus”, the simplifying working assumption a generation of withdrawal advocates have employed in order to grossly understate the dangerous nature of their policy recommendations.

All other things were hardly equal. The Arabs also made moves on the board. read more

moshe

Commentary:

How long before OC Southern Command Yoav Galant gets smacked-down for his comments?

“No one will be able to alter the bitter truth: The home front was simply abandoned during the war in Lebanon. It wasn’t adequately prepared prior to the war and it wasn’t handled properly during the war.”

Excerpts;

Suddenly everyone is a righteous gentile. Suddenly everyone is full of sympathy and compassion for three or four senior officials – who were full partners to the situation the home front was embroiled in during the recent war. read more
