Black-uniformed police in riot gear, backed by mounted police, confronted 1,000 supporters of Jewish life in the destroyed community of Homesh Monday night. One horse ridden by a policeman knocked down a woman, who threw sand in the animal’s face to prevent it from trampling her.

The crowd, including former residents of the community which was among those destroyed by the government last years, out-maneuvered soldiers and police who tried to prevent them from reaching the site. They lit Chanukah candles and vowed to rebuild their homes. read more

Israeli Ground Troops Enter Lebanon

Excerpts;

At daybreak Wednesday, a small number of Israeli troops were operating just across the border inside southern Lebanon, looking for tunnels and weapons, the Israeli military said without providing any more details.

The incursion came a day after Israel indicated that it might send large numbers of ground troops into the southern Lebanon, but Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Dan Gillerman denied Wednesday’s operation was part of any such operation.

“What is going on at the moment is a number of Israeli ground troops very near to the border on the Lebanese side, trying to destroy some Hezbollah outposts,” he told CNN. read more

The Car Needs a Front-End ‘Realignment’ …

moshe

While saying over the vort on this week’s Parsha HaShevua, a few thoughts occured to this author which are presented here.

One thought is about Ehud Olmert’s latest term for disengagement = expulsion (convergence, consolidation), ‘realignment.’

It would seem that Olmert looks at Medinat Yisrael as an out-of-alignment auto. Apparently those “crazy believing Jews” with their connection to Eretz Yisrael, have kareemed over too many speed-bumps and thrown the national auto out of alignment. Ergo, the latest name for Olmert’s hope — Expulsion of more Jews shall henceforth be known as “realignment”, until the rocket-scientists come up with still another synonym. read more

Excerpts;

“One-by-one, the promises of disengagement have proven false.”

“Morally, the toughest and longest-lasting blow struck by disengagement is to our national, Zionist ethos. Something happened to the destiny of the security forces of the Jewish state.”

“Instead of recognizing the duty to defend Jews wherever they are, simply because they are Jews, soldiers and police officers were ordered to evict Jews from their homes, in order to appease their would-be killers.” read more
