Analysis: Israel’s Numerous War Wounds, By Anshel Pfeffer

“What hasn’t been improved one bit since the end of the war is the decision-making process of our political leadership; in fact, that’s only got much worse.”

Commentary;

This blog is not picking up this article for it’s conclusions, but for the points made within and that the conditions within the government and the IDF are apparently showing no improvement.

Pfeffer begins and ends this article by seeming to give Nasrallah
credit for the current and ongoing debacle; read more

Gov’t: 75% of Gaza Evacuees Have Jobs, By Tovah Lazaroff (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Approximately 75 percent of the Gaza Strip evacuees have found jobs since they were expelled from their homes in 2005, according to statistics presented Monday to the Ministerial Disengagement Committee. This number will increase to 85% within half a year, government officials who are working with the evacuees said.

But Yosef Zvi Rimon, head of the nongovernmental group JobKatif, which helps to find jobs for the evacuees, said the government’s numbers were too high. He said only 38% of the evacuees had found jobs. read more

PM Joins Growing Consensus Against Unilateral Withdrawal, by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz & Hana Levi Julian (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

“Olmert explained his new position to the Chinese interviewer by reference to the Israeli withdrawals from Lebanon in 2000 and from Gaza in 2005, both of which, he said, encouraged terrorism and increased the likelihood of war.”

“A year ago, I believed that we would be able to do this unilaterally,” he told reporters ahead of a three-day trip to China, which began Tuesday morning. “However, it should be said that our experience in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip is not encouraging. We pulled out of Lebanon unilaterally, and see what happened. We pulled out of the Gaza Strip completely, to the international border, and every day they are firing Kassam rockets at Israelis. Under the existing circumstances, it would be more practical to achieve a two-state solution through negotiations rather than [unilateral] withdrawal.” read more

The End of Israel’s Governmental Corruption Begins With Us

moshe

This author read a commentary by the K’li Yekar on the first posuk of Parsha Vayechi which was leyned this Shabbos.

That first posuk reads; “And Yaakov lived in the land of Mitzrayim for seventeen years…” The K’li Yekar indicates in part that Yaakov lost his Ruach HaKodesh; his ability to give prophesy, and that the Shechinah, Hashem’s presence (if you will) departed from him during his 17 years in Mitzrayim.

The K’li Yekar further indicates that the loss of prophesy and the departure of the Shechinah; read more

The Scope of Consequences of Israel’s Pervasive Government Corruption

Column One: The Bitter Fruits of Corruption, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“That Israel faces unprecedented threats to its security and very existence while it is being led by the most incompetent, corrupt leadership it has ever known is not coincidental.”

“The one obvious conclusion that can be drawn from the events of the past week and year without Sharon is that in order to forge competent, honest policies, Israel needs competent and honest leaders. And so to extricate itself from the morass of ineptitude and criminality that has become its public sector, Israel must find the way to rid ourselves of the current political and military leadership that embody both.” read more
