Uzi Dayan: [S’derot Residents Feel] ‘Northern Blood Worth More than Southern Blood’
Former Major General Uzi Dayan said Wednesday morning that Sderot residents feel that “northern blood is worth more than southern blood.” Speaking on Voice of Israel government radio’s It’s All Talk program, the former head of the National Security Council charged that Israel is without leadership.
“Whoever thinks that in the Middle East you can do something without force is mistaken,” he asserted. Dayan called for ground action against terrorists “and not just in response to rocket attacks” but as part of an overall strategy… He warned that without military action, “Hamas will become Hizbullah Two.”

Sderot Factories Appeal to Government for Aid in Reinforcement
Excerpt;
“Owners are unable to provide protective reinforcement for their factories due to the high cost. Manufacturers have appealed to the government to provide aid to defray the cost of the reinforcement. As of yet, the government has not responded to their request.“
We leyned in the previous Parsha Mikeitz about the whole affair between Yosef and the brothers when they came to Mitzrayim to buy food and were accused by the Viceroy of being spies. We learned how after hearing their story and family history, the Viceroy demanded that they bring their youngest brother to him and incarcerated Shimon as insurance that the brothers would indeed return with Binyamin, their youngest brother. We learn that in the middle of Parsha Mikeitz, with the imprisonment of Shimon, the brothers recognized and attributed their predicament to the sin they had committed earlier by throwing Yosef into the pit and then selling him to the Mitzriyim. Yosef heard and understood their conversation and left their presence to cry silently. (Perek 42, posukim 21-24)

“Diskin inanely opined that if Israel responds to the rocket attacks on Sderot’s kindergartens, elementary schools and apartment blocks, Hamas will get really mad at us for breaching the cease-fire that only the IDF upholds and will continue to attack us.”
“While Olmert is planning to spring terrorists from prison next week in honor of the Islamic holiday, Gaza’s Christians were too terrified to go to their Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. So the mass was cancelled.”
Commentary;
Thanks to Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA for this analysis of the US definition of Reckless Endangerment as it relates to Ehud Olmert’s decision to implement lifting roadblocks in Yehuda and the Shomron.
Under our law, a person is guilty of Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree when, under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life, that person recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to another person.
Analysis: It’s About Ideology, Stupid, Herb Keinon (Jerusalem Post)
Excerpts;
The newest buzzword in Middle East diplomacy is “strengthening the moderates.” This is an expression that continuously rolls off the tongues of both world and Israeli leaders these days. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert uses this phrase repeatedly and heard it often on his visit two weeks ago to Rome and Berlin, and in his meetings last week with the visiting prime ministers from Britain and Norway.
The question is how to do it. How do you prop up the moderates? On Saturday night, Olmert gave his answer: by providing the moderates with money. And he is not alone in the belief that this is the way to help combat Islamic extremists.
