The Evolution of Blood Libels Against Jews: From Wildfire Rumors to Prime Time Pallywood, Hezbollywood…

Our World: Prime-Time Blood Libels, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Israel’s continued silence is a sign that Israeli officialdom has still not understood what the war of images demands of it. The Dura film, like the fictional massacre of Lebanese children at Kafr Kana in Lebanon this summer, shows that victory or defeat in wars is today largely determined on television. To win, Israel must go on the offensive and attack untruthful, distorted images that are used to justify the killing of Israelis and Jews throughout the world.” read more

Lieberman Cedes Demands… [on Behalf of Self-Empowerment and Self Enrichment]

Lieberman Cedes Demands on Behalf of “National Responsibility”, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

For context; click here.

Commentary;

“It’s All About Iran.” Give us a break. Once again, another corrupt politician renegs on every promise made to voters in exchange for power, in the hopes that Kadima stays in power long enough to kill Likud so that Yisrael Beiteinu replaces it and Lieberman becomes Prime Minister. Once again, what Caroline Glick wrote recently is instructive as to the Lieberman strategy; read more

Olmert Attempts Squashing State War Probe by Any and All Means….

State Won’t Disclose Letter on War Probe, by Dan Izenberg (Jerusalem Post)

The state on Sunday rejected a request to release the contents of a letter written by Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in which Mazuz allegedly told Olmert he should appoint a state commission of inquiry to investigate the government’s handling of the war against Lebanon last summer.

The request was filed last week by the Movement for Quality Government, one of two watchdog organizations demanding that the government-appointed Winograd Committee of Examination into the government’s handling of the second Lebanese war be dismissed and replaced by a state commission of inquiry, whose members are appointed by the president of the Supreme Court. read more

The “Headquarters of Cities” group publicized two recent decisions, one which ordered right-wing demonstrators to be held in custody until the end of judicial proceedings while left-wing protestors were ordered to work for a period of time in public service. read more

Moslems Working to Consolidate Hold on Har HaBayit; Olmert Regime Silent, Complicit…

Spiraling Out of Control, by By Ksenia Svetlova (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

From the veranda of the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus, the call for the Maghreb (evening) prayer permeates the warm Jerusalem fall air. A thousand different voices repeat the ancient formula from all across the town, although the loudest call without a doubt comes from Al-Aksa’s four minarets.

Soon, if the plan announced last week by Jordanian King Abdullah II becomes a reality, a fifth minaret will be added. The Hashemite monarch’s announcement last week seems to have detonated a small bomb in both Arab and Jewish worlds, causing contradictory reactions and not a little antagonism. read more

On Friday The Jerusalem Post led its front page with a story which should have sent shivers down all our spines – not because it reported any disaster but because it exposed the symptoms of a potential, if not inevitable disaster.

Right on the border with Gaza – hardly a peaceful demarcation line – Post correspondent Anshel Pfeffer discovered no less than 17 armored combat vehicles left unattended, with quantities of ammunition and electronic equipment. Our reporter actually started one of the vehicles and began driving it. No guard so much as inquired about the movement. read more

Cabinet Passes Lieberman’s Bill by Vote of 12-11, by Sheera Claire Frenkel (Jerusalem Post)

Caroline Glick’s words bear repeating;

“The greatest deficit of Israel’s governing system is not its instability, but its uneven checks and balances between the three arms of government. Second, Israel’s most urgent problem today is not its malfunctioning political system, but its incompetent political leadership.”

The cabinet approved on Sunday Israel Beitenu’s governmental reform bill by a vote of 12-11. Israel Beiteinu has demanded coalition support for the legislation as a condition for joining the government. read more
