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

Foreign Ministry Efforts to Reinvent Israel as Liberal/Gay-Friendly…

Column One: Truth in Advertising, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“One of the primary target audiences that the Foreign Ministry is trying to attract is the homosexual community. Ministry officials view gay culture as the entryway to the liberal culture because, as he put it, gay culture is the culture that creates ‘a buzz.'”

“The so-called liberal Left are the ones who call Israel “that shi**y little country” at fancy dinner parties.”

Excerpts;

Israel is trying to reinvent itself. Last week Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni hosted a conference where she launched a new multimillion dollar project to “rebrand” Israel. As Livni put it, since coming into office, she has been struck by the disparity between the vibrant, liberal, free Israel she knows and Israel’s image abroad. read more

Hasbara: Lights, Camera, Combat, by Haviv Rettig (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Few complaints held against recent Israeli governments have so completely attained the lofty status of “conventional wisdom” as those directed at Israel’s image-makers and -explainers. The many critics of hasbara claim that, while the importance of “getting the message out” has become paramount (in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and low-intensity combat generally), the IDF and state bureaucracies have failed miserably in conveying a coherent and convincing message to the world. read more
