We Could Have Saved Gush Katif and Northern Samaria, by Nadia Matar (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

The strong responses from the ultra-Orthodox public has had an impact. This can already be considered a success.

First, the unity in the ultra-Orthodox camp is praiseworthy. All the communities, all the factions, all the rabbis sent out a single, clear message: “All of us, as a single person, are mobilized to prevent the ‘Abomination Parade’, at any cost.” Tens of thousands of fliers were distributed to the ultra-Orthodox community to instruct them what to do if and when they were to be arrested and sent to jail as a result of their protest. The message broadcast by the leaders of the struggle is clear: this parade is to be stopped, with determination and without sensitivity, even at the cost of sitting in prison. read more

Column One: Olmert’s Ill-Timed Washington Visit, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“If Olmert were a strong leader, in light of the Republican defeat and Bush’s response to that defeat, he could use the meeting as an opportunity to tell Bush that Israel accepts responsibility for attacking Iran’s nuclear installations. But Olmert, who spent his last visit in the US capital trying to convince the Americans to support his plan to surrender Judea and Samaria to Hamas, is not a strong leader. He is a weak leader. The new wind blowing out of Washington will easily cast him asunder. read more

Remembering Rav Kahane z’l

By Moshe Burt

It’s hard to find the right words this year to commemorate the Yahrtzeit of Rav Meir Kahane z’l. These days, those of us who know his way to be Tzadek, have been monopolized fighting-off gay displays and fighting for the Torah way in Eretz Yisrael against the elitists who control the mainstream, overwhelmingly, morally corrupt Israeli institutions.

The Rav consistently, uncompromisingly and doggedly pursued and articulated, by both the written and spoken word as well as by deed, love of fellow Jew, love of Torah and love of and possession of Eretz Yisrael. read more

A Day in the Refugee Camp by Rachel Saperstein, Neve Dekalim/Nitzan

Excerpts;

A year and three months have passed since our expulsion from Gush Katif. We live in the refugee camp of Nitzan between Ashdod and Ashkelon. This plywood “caravilla” is not our home. In two or more years Moshe and I will once again receive our notice of eviction. As of today not one person has received permission to build permanent housing. Work is in progress on infrastructure in the upper heights of Nitzan but lots have yet to be allocated. Settlement in the Lachish area has been stalled. The hill called “Egoz” has been declared a ‘green’ area, a ‘military’ area, an ‘electrical pylon’ area. We must look for another hill. When we visit the Lachish area we see in the distance hundreds of Arab homes that have been built willy-nilly on every hill and dale. There is barely a Jewish presence in the area. Meanwhile we continue to live in the refugee camp. read more

Expelled Yesha Jews Invited to Knesset, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

The 20 Jews who have been ordered out of their homes in the Shomron for between 6-12 months will be guests of the National Union-National Religious Party faction in the Knesset today.

Some 20 men, some of them married with children, have been banned from their homes by administrative military order. The issues were ordered over four months ago, leaving the men distanced from their families and jobs.

Though no official explanation was given for the orders, it has been explained that the “murchakim” – the expellees – were suspected of activity against Arab olive-harvesters. In fact, however, most of them were never arrested or questioned about such crimes, and in addition, the olive-harvesting season lasts for only a month – whereas they were distanced for 6 to 12 months. read more
