Annan Updates Beilin on Soldiers in Lebanon

Excerpt;
“Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that one of the problems in the negotiations for the release of the two kidnapped Israeli soldiers in Lebanon is the demand for Hizballah to return them alive.”

Commentary;

This gem from Kofi Annan should go down in the annals and is typical of the Israel government’s futile craving for the world’s love and friendship and it’s resultant abrogation of it’s solemn national reponsibilities. MB read more

Israel Has ‘No Answer’ to Al Jazeera

Full Text;

Wednesday’s launch of Qatar-based Al Jazeera International, a 24/7 English-language satellite network, will make the “information war” harder for Israel, according to Haifa University communications expert Prof. Gabriel Weimann.

“There will be a global channel in English that tends to be more pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli than the others, and it will not be preaching to the converted,” he said. “It will not be trying to win over the Jewish community in the US or Europe. It will be speaking to a neutral audience, to the uncommitted, the uninvolved, the uninformed. Israel doesn’t have an answer to it.” read more

The Halutz, Peretz Show – Slip, Sliding Away, By Anshel Pfeffer (Jerusalem Post)

“Halutz can spare himself the humiliation by preempting its conclusion.”

For context, click here.

Excerpts;

The consensus is that Chief of Staff Dan Halutz is on the way out.

He might be talking about his plans for reform in the army and learning the lessons of the Lebanon War, but the advice he has received lately from trusted advisors is that in order to rescue what is left of his honor, he should wait for the last internal reports to be published – and after an interval of a few weeks, at the most a couple of months – decide the timing of his departure. read more

Parsha Chaye Sarah: Avraham’s Well Developed Attribute of Intuitive Perception…

by Moshe Burt

There are two intriguing commentaries, each relating to a different posuk of Parsha Chaye Sarah, regarding the dialogue leading up to Avraham Aveinu’s acquistion of the Ma’arat HaMachpela for 400 shekels of silver from Efron the Hittite.

The first of the two posukim is spoken by Avraham and says, in part, “I will have given the money for the field; take it of me …” (Breish’it, Perek 23, posuk 13) read more

Moshe Arens: Failure in Lebanon Worse than Yom Kippur War

Full Text;

Former Defense Minister Prof. Moshe Arens told Voice of Israel government radio Monday morning that the IDF’s failures in the Hizbullah terrorist war this summer were worse than those in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Golda Meir, who was Prime Minister during the war, resigned because of the lack of defense against the Egyptian attack.

Prof. Arens, who served in the Cabinet during the Gulf war in 1991, called on IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz and Defense Minister Amir Peretz to resign following an IDF inquiry report that pointed out miscalculations and mistakes which allowed Hizbullah terrorists to kidnap two IDF soldiers on July 12, at the outset of the war. “Those who initiated and managed the war, Peretz and Halutz, carry the responsibility and are the first who have to leave their posts,” he said. read more

Prediction Confirmed — Olmert: Realignment Definitely Not Dead…. Read My Lips: I’m Ready for Territorial Compromises…

moshe

Commentary;

As predicted on this Blog, here, here, here, here, here and more: The two reports below, including the chilling Newsweek-Washington Post interview with prime minister Olmert ought to be food for momentum to build among those Jews who look at their fellows as brethren and who passionately love this holy land, Eretz Yisrael. Does it get any more obvious, any more black and white than this? And those who care had better make an all-out effort to enlist the Chareidim, even over the Chareidi politicians, those self-proclaimed “gatekeepers” who guard the “gedolim” from the full story like Bernie tended goal. They, the masses of Chareidim need to absorb and intellectualize that the fight against convergence is AT LEAST AS IMPORTANT as confronting the gay display! MB read more
