“The struggle to replace our corrupt system, started by the brave reservists manning the Rose Garden barricades, is our second War of Liberation. If we persevere, this campaign can free us, finally, from the corrupting system that is choking Israel to death.”
Excerpts;
As someone who fought in the 1948 War of Independence, among other conflicts, I view the reservists’ protest against the Lebanon fiasco as having the potential of initiating a process that could contribute to a politically, economically and socially healthier Israel.
No Room at the Dorm, By Evelyn Gordon (Jerusalem Post)
“In an open letter published on August 20, soldiers and officers of Brigade 551 wrote that the military and political leadership’s conduct of the fighting in Lebanon made them ‘feel as if someone had spit in our faces.’ Someone really did spit in their faces: the honorable Judge of the Haifa District Court, who authored an August 17 ruling barring Haifa University from using army service as one of its criteria for allocating dorm rooms.”

Yaalon: I Expect Resignations Without Committee
Excerpts;
Seeking Chesed-oriented Jews, or a Chesed-oriented Kehilla to step forward to either donate a used Sefer Torah, and/or to be Philanthropic Angels or to donate the funds necessary to acquire and restore Sifrei Torah for needy Jewish communities in Israel.
The Sefer Torah Recycling Network has been in existence for 14 years and in this period, we have facilitated placement of 13 Sifrei Torah in needy locations in Israel on a shoe-string, zero-budget basis. To maximize and beautify the performance of this Mitzvah requires development of a more formalized organization as described below.

Commentary;
One crucial question; Olmert knows the timing all too well — Gay Parade on
September 21st, the day before Erev Rosh Hashanah. Is he using the Gays to run interference to evade institution of a State Commission to investigate all aspects of the conduct of the War in Lebanon?? MB
Protest in the Rose Garden, By Ari Shavit (Haaretz)
“…The Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of Arrogance must both go. Not only because they have been wrong all the way. Not only because they have been wrong, have been deceptive and have cooked up a disaster. But because getting rid of both will distance us from the distorted values that both of them represent. Separation from both of them will detach us from the evil spirit that tricked us for years.”
“Parting from Olmert and Halutz will not solve the deeply ingrained problem, but it will allow us to start dealing with it. It will allow Israel to embark on a long path toward a new beginning.”
