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

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.
