Religious-Zionist “Nerve Center” Robbed of its Computers [on their Way to PA], by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

Thieves emptied Beit Meir – headquarters of Religious-Zionism and its various organizations – of 15-20 computers over the Sabbath. The computers are feared on their way to the Palestinian Authority.

Some 15-20 computers were stolen in the raid, as well as state-of-the-art computer equipment. One of the employees told Arutz-7, “I fear that this will not become a very important story, as there has been a wave of such thefts in Jerusalem of late… Neither are the police likely to catch them, as it is assumed that the computers have already made their way to the ‘territories’ [Judea and Samaria].” read more

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

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.

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
