Poll: Public Against Expulsion Program
Full Text;
A public poll conducted by a widely respected American pollster reveals that the public has turned sour on demolishing Jewish communities and expelling their residents. More than two-thirds of those who backed last year’s expulsions object to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s plan to continue with more destruction and expulsions.
Arthur Finkelstein supervised the survey on behalf of the Israel Beitainu (Israel Is Our Home) party, which is the main benefactor of growing disappointment with the Kadima party.

Stop Apologizing for Defending Ourselves, by Isi Leibler
Excerpts:
What a tragic missed opportunity. Over the past month the global media focused on Ehud Olmert as he met heads of state in Washington, London, Paris, Cairo and Amman on his maiden Prime Ministerial visit. It was a perfect opportunity for our eloquent Prime Minister to depict the nightmarish life that Israeli citizens in Sderot and the Western Negev were undergoing as their schools, hospitals, homes and infrastructure faced daily missile barrages from their Palestinian neighbors.
Two Rockets Hit Moshav, No Injuries
Two Kassams Land in West Negev; No Wounded, Damage
Kassam Lands in Sderot; No Wounded, Damage Caused
The big question for Israel now is how to deal with Hamas. The IDF claims that Hamas is still involved in firing Qassams, mainly via other organizations. Sderot is becoming a new version of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo, which, … was targeted by Palestinian gunfire with the blessing of Yasser Arafat, but without his claiming responsibility or having to pay the price.
Commentary 1;
In a war with cowardly murderers who, as have their predecessors, a long, documented history of tactically hiding behind civilians, accidents can and have happened. And the IDF, for all of it’s other faults, takes care to a fault concerning non-combatants in planning retaliatory attacks, attacks on rocket launcers, etc.
In fighting such a foe, a foe which tactically uses civilians for cover, who orchestrates “pallywood” death productions and manufactures events, often killing their own civilians in order to hang the bogus accusations upon Israel; when all necessary care is taken in planning military actions such as to negate, or at worst minimize civilian casualties, one need not feel guilty, one need not hang their head in shame when mishaps occur.

Demographobia, by Yoram Ettinger

Excerpts;
Again and again Olmert says that giving up geography is the only way to safeguard Jewish demography.
… He’s inspired to pullout because of demographics. But he’s using greatly exaggerated numbers provided by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics back in 1998. Israel accepted these numbers without benefit of any demographic, media or diplomatic research into their veracity, and they have since become the cornerstone of an intense campaign that has penetrated deep in to the consciousness of Israel’s policy makers and public.
Our World: The Judicial Overthrow of Democracy, by Caroline Glick
Excerpts;
Sunday morning Israel Radio reported that a delegation of judges met with Justice Minister Haim Ramon and demanded that he defend them from what they consider to be unprecedented media attacks against them.
Last month in an interview with Haaretz, retiring Justice Mishael Cheshin had this to say about Chief Justice Aharon Barak’s view of human rights: “He is ready for 30, 50 people to be blown up – but we will have human rights.”

MK Ravitz: Evacuating Outposts is Collective Punishment
Excerpts;
MK Avraham Ravitz (UTJ) harshly criticized Defense Minister Amir Peretz for his stated intention of evacuating four outposts because of “lawbreakers from them who attack Palestinians, children, and soldiers”.
Ravitz said today that he didn’t understand Peretz. “Why aren’t the criminals punished and brought to justice? Instead we act like a backwards country and use collective punishment.”
According to Ravitz, outposts should only be evacuated by a decision of the Prime Minister and only after dialog with the evacuees.
