Column One: The Gemayel Warning, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“In choosing the strategy of retreat, Israel and the US have ignored the regional and indeed global nature of the war being waged against them. In such a war, it is impossible to view conflicts as discrete campaigns. Everything is related.”

Excerpts;

Hours after Gemayel was murdered, his killers issued a communiqu calling themselves the “Fighters for the Unity and Liberty of Greater Syria.” They said that they killed Gemayel because he was “one of those who unceasingly spouted their venom against Syria and against [Hizbullah], shamelessly and without any trepidation.” Gemayel, they threatened, would be the first of many victims. As they put it, “Sooner or later we will pay the rest of the agents their due…” read more

Excerpts;

In a bid to “re-brand” Israel’s unpopular world image, Tzippy Livni and the gang at the Foreign Ministry are about to embark on a massive PR campaign. Livni plans to paint Israel as a sexy, modern country with beautiful beaches and a successful high-tech industry to boot.

The Intra-Israeli Threat, by Ari Shavit (Haaretz)

“The dilemma the attorneys are facing is not just about the affair itself. This is not just a matter of different ways in which the astounding evidentiary material can be read. Each of the three knows exactly what forces he is facing and what he can expect if he dares to enter into a confrontation with the strongest power centers in the country. Each knows that a chill wind of McCarthyism is blowing here today.”

“The attorneys’ decision must be clean, clear and transparent. They cannot leave ambiguous a question of such importance. They must know what lies in the balance; and if there is a festering abscess in the Bank Leumi affair, then it must be excised. Dealing with the intra-Israeli threat is now, above all, on the desks of three honest attorneys in Jerusalem. They must not fail. They must not allow the rot to eat the foundations of this society.” read more

– The IDF’s mission includes destroying weapons stores, but if the weapons are stored in a residential area the IDF gives the Palestinians thirty minutes warning before attacking the location to either relocate the weapons or bring in even more human shields to protect it from attack. read more
