Supreme Court to Rule on Migron: Impact on Olmert, Peretz Planned Dismantlements?

Supreme Court Rules on Fate of 43 Families in Heart of Israel, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

“We are a continuation of the Zionist enterprise and the Zionist dream – just like all the pioneers who came to the Land of Israel over the centuries, starting with the students of the Gaon of Vilna [early 19th century], and later the First Aliyah [1882-1903], and the Second Aliyah [1904 – 1914], etc. – there is no difference. If anything, we are more in the heart of the Land of Israel than Tel Aviv is.” read more

What Jews in Chutz L’Aretz Can Do for Israel Short of Aliyah

Joint Statement by Mattot Arim, Professors for a Strong Israel and Women in Green: Calls for Jews in Diaspora to Lobby Against Creating Terror State in Judea and Samaria

Commentary;

By publishing this joint statement, this blog does not for a mili-second seek to diminsh the effect an impact of making Aliyah and being on the front lines of the struggle against an unpopular and utterly corrupt prime minister, government and its anti-Jewish, anti-Torah platform and policies.

But Jews living outside Israel who have not as yet committed to making Aliyah can still act to undermine the efforts of the Israeli government to self-destruct Jewish presence on Jewish Land — the Land of Israel. MB read more

Where is their resentment at having missiles and rockets sent into their midst on a daily basis by their Arab neighbors? Where is the fire in the belly? Where is the will to survive and where is the will to win?” read more

Olmert Administration “A Clear and Present Danger”: Haaretz Editorial

A Clear and Present Danger

“Israel’s advantage of proper democratic governance is being eroded by embarrassing ego games.”

“The unacceptable explanation offered for this state of affairs is that Olmert intends to replace the defense minister, but is postponing the move for political reasons. This cowardice attests to Olmert’s inability to govern.”

Full text:

No commission of inquiry is needed in order to realize that the fact that the prime and defense ministers are not speaking to each other is a clear and present danger to national security. This grave situation has continued since the war in Lebanon ended, but the public is not fully aware of its gravity. All the conciliatory statements emanating from both ministers’ offices are false, as are the smiles they exchange in front of the cameras. The state is not being governed, and there is no coordination between Ehud Olmert and Amir Peretz on the most vital issues. read more
