The First Punic War of Lebanon by Elyakim Haetzni (Israel National News)

When the complaints of reservists reached the media to the effect that the IDF was not able to supply them with, among other things, water, I recalled images from the nightmare of the expulsion from Gush Katif; images of policemen and soldiers wearing their best expulsion outfits, with a stylish, uniform water bottle clipped on their backs. It was another piece of equipment of an organized and well-equipped army – but only for the oppression and expulsion of “the enemy within,” the settlers. read more

When Will Olmert Realize It’s Time to Go? By Mordechai Gilat (Ynet)

Excerpts;

Ehud Olmert, witnessing the massive protests amassing against him, stuffed his bags with money and flew off to Kiriyat Shmona to distribute it.

He was sure that with his money and promises he would be able to mend the hearts of the country’s northern citizens, but he was wrong. The Mayor and members of the Kiryat Shmona city councils didn’t accept his performance. The rich uncle from Jerusalem came to hand out candy to the kids, but in response, they explained that the country had abandoned them. read more

Backlash Against Administrative Orders as Mother-of-6 Arrested by Ezra HaLevi (Israel National News)

”They Send Enough Police to Arrest a Mafia Crime Boss”

Excerpts;

Administrative detention, a legal remnant from the British Mandate period, allows security forces to hold citizens in prison without allowing them to meet with a lawyer, stand before a judge or even be informed of the allegations against them. At this time, at least fifteen Jewish activists are being held by the government in such a manner. read more

PM Appoints Sheetrit Justice Minister

Commentary;

The third posuk of our Parsha reads and emphasizes; “Tzedek, Tzedek tierdof…” Righteousness, righteousness (also rendered Justice, Justice) you shall pursue that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord, your G’d gives you.” (Sefer Devarim, Perek 16, posuk 20)

This posuk follows immediately after the opening of our Parsha; “Judges and officers shall you appoint in all of your cities — which Hashem …gives you — for your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgement. You shall not pervert judgement, you shall not respect persons, neither take a bribe, for a bribe binds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.” (Sefer Devarim, Perek 16, p’sukim 18-19) read more

‘People Have Forgotten About Us’, By Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Full Text;

The Speaker, Kadima MK Dalia Itzik, called this week upon the Government of Israel to declare the coming year the “Year of the North.” She said that tourism from abroad and from Israel should be encouraged to the Galilee and northern Israel.

Her words are representative of widespread national sympathy for the hundreds or thousands who were forced to flee the north during the recent war and seek alternate housing in hotels and dormitories or with relatives and friends. Itzik herself mentioned the “hundreds of thousands of good citizens who helped out the people of the north.” read more

Wednesday War News …

moshe

Commentary;

Something seems amiss. For the past number of days, at least since Sunday, there is little war-related news to speak of from any of the major news sites, including Israel National News. In the view of this author, that this could suddenly be is unfathomable. This author’s guess is that big-time spin and censorship is at work as Olmert, Peretz, Halutz, etc. scurry around endeavoring to prove that Israel “won” the War in Lebanon and that there’s no need for an investigatory panel with clout. read more
