Massive Aliyah on 1 Year Anniversary of Expulsion: Glad Olmert Won’t Be There …

Western Aliyah This Week, Despite Month of War

Excerpt;

“Despite the two-front war, the thousands of missiles, and evacuation of northern communities, more than 800 North American and British Jews will be moving to Israel this week. Four planeloads of Jews are to arrive in Ben Gurion airport in the coming week – the first on Thursday. Wednesday, August 16th – the one year anniversary of the eviction of the Jews of Gaza – three flights will arrive.”

Commentary,

We remember much regarding the terrible abuse done by the evil regime last year to our brethren from Gush Katif. And in remembering, we recall Ehud Olmert’s arrogant, negative “greeting” to those Olim Chadashim who arrived one year ago, on the second day of the expulsion, 17 August, 2005. And we hope that these latest Olim Chadashim will be greeted in a more positive way. MB read more

Our World: Talkin’ About a Revolution, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Whatever marginal diplomatic gains the Olmert government may try to convince the public the draft resolution contains for Israel, the fact is that regardless of the language eventually adopted, and whatever force of French, Egyptian, Turkish, Italian and German soldiers will or will not be deployed to Lebanon, all any cease-fire resolution will do is ensure that there will be another round of war.

This is the case because none of the moves being considered involve the one action that would prevent the next war. That action is an Israeli victory against Hizbullah in Lebanon, and an Israeli and allied strike against Hizbullah’s state sponsors Syria and Iran. read more
