Excerpt;
“President Mubarak declared yesterday for the first time at the end of his talks with the Israeli prime minister in Sharm al-Sheikh that Egypt ‘would not stand aside’ if the nuclear arms race in the region escalates and that it would be ‘forced’ to try and equip itself with similar weapons in order to defend itself.”

Abbas to Olmert: Release Terrorists, Even if Caught in Act of Murdering Jews

Weekly Commentary: Palestinian Demands to Free Terrorists – the Failed Litmus Test, by Dr. Aaron Lerner (IMRA)

Full Text;

If a Palestinian gunman was captured tonight as he was murdering an Israeli family what would “moderate” Mahmoud Abbas like Israel to with him?

Release him.

That’s right.

This is a fundamental problem.

Because when Palestinian “moderates” want Israel to release all Palestinian terrorists regardless of when they committed their crimes, they are effectively saying that no Palestinian commitment is binding. – including the very anchor commitment of Oslo to abandon violence. read more

To begin, this author wishes to make clear the high regard with which Women in Green is held. One would need pages and pages to list all of the battles which Women in Green; Nadia Matar and Ruth Matar have undertaken on behalf of Am Yehudi. read more

Peace Without Golan in Syrian Hands, by Uri Heitner (Ynet)

For context, click here and here.

“The significant difference is between Turkey’s attitude to its land, sovereignty and borders and Israel’s attitude to its land, sovereignty and borders. For dozens of years, Turkey was unwilling to discuss any kind of compromise in Alexandretta. It never expressed a willingness to cede Alexandretta in exchange for peace.

Commentary;

Caroline Glick’s article on Yasser Arafat’s dominant role in the March, 1973 deaths of US Embassy’s Charges d’Affaires George Curtis Moore, US ambassador Cleo Noel and Belgian Charges d’Affairs Guy Eid by Fatah’s Black September group in their raid of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan is a vain excercise and unfortunately, does not convince anyone that matters among the nations. And once again it shows the sheer folly of Israel’s leaders putting any reliance on man, on any so-called committment by any outside parties. read more
