You Don’t Make Peace with Your Enemies…

By Michael Freund (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

Yossi Beilin was at it again.

In an interview on Israel Radio, the dovish head of the Yahad/Meretz faction in the Knesset spoke about the need to start negotiations with Syria in an effort to reach a peace deal with the Dictator from Damascus, Bashar al-Assad.

It doesn’t seem to matter one whit to Mr. Beilin that Assad is a ruthless tyrant who has been busy aiding Hizbullah in Lebanon, the insurgents in Iraq, and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Assad’s hands may be full of blood, but Beilin just can’t wait to shake them anyway. read more

Parsha Vayeira 5767: Today’s Lessons of Sodom

By Moshe Burt

Our Parsha opens with Hashem, as we understand, visiting Avraham Aveinu on the 3rd day after Bris Milah, when Avraham was at the height of his pain following the circumcision, as Rashi indicates, “to inquire about his welfare.” (Metsuda Linear Chumash rendering of Rashi on Perek 18, posuk 1)

It’s not like Hashem needed to pay a visit to ascertain Avraham’s actual condition for, Hashem is the Creator, The Master, The Ruler over the world who knows and is aware of everything. And so we learn and gain insight from this first posuk as to the Mitzvah of Bikur Cholim; showing, caring, giving strength and encouragement to the ill by visiting and caring about them. read more

Keinan: ’IDF Offensive Accomplished a Drop in the Ocean’, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

Nissim Keinan, nationally famous for his Voice of Israel broadcasts from the Sderot and Gaza regions, told Arutz-7 the IDF Gaza offensive accomplished a “drop in the ocean” of what needs to be done.

We’re talking about looking for a needle in a haystack – because Beit Hanoun, where the offensive took place, is just a small town of 30,000 people; but what about Beit Lahiya and all its terrorists? And what about Jebalya, and the entire area of the Shati refugee camp, and the Khan Yunis area, and Dir el-Balach – I mean, the entire place is swarming with terrorists. read more

Is Marching as a Gay the Greatest of Sins? By Shmuley Boteach (Jerusalem Post)

“Where were the haredi demonstrators when they were needed to protest disengagement?”

“Yarmulke-wearing men and boys were dragged, and pregnant women with their hair covered were torn from their homes. And even today, as so many of the residents of Gush Katif continue to live in makeshift housing, I know of few great ultra-Orthodox authorities who call what happened by its proper name: an abomination.” read more

Back to the Past: Olmert Resurrects Old Demons by Inviting German Forces to UNIFIL Lebanon Border Force??

Olmert’s Request to Station German Troops in Lebanon Unwise, by Eldad Beck (Ynet)

Excerpts;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert couldn’t have thought of a better way to destabilize the fragile relationship built up over the past 40 years between Israel and Germany. He did so by inviting German forces to take part in the UNIFIL peace keeping forces in Lebanon. Only a person blind from birth would have failed to foresee the Greek tragedy we are now witnessing.

Officially, Germany is regarded as Israel’s greatest ally in Europe. This claim can be justified on certain levels. Namely, wide scale cooperation between the two countries exists in several areas and the current government, under the auspices of Angela Merkel, has reiterated Germany’s commitment towards Israel. read more

In Praise of Lindenstrauss Jerusalem Post Editorial

Excerpts;

In an imposing advertisement in the Hebrew press, five of the country’s more prominent law and political science professors – Amnon Rubinstein, Shlomo Avineri, Yaffa Zilbershatz, Yoav Dotan and Arik Carmon – last week lambasted State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss for doing “damage to the order of government in Israel.” His primary sin appears to boil down to over-zealousness.

Lindenstrauss, the five assert, treads dangerously on the police’s turf, blurring lines of distinction between his probes and criminal investigations. read more
