Column One: Halutz’s Stalinist Moment, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

This past April the IDF published its new military doctrine. A new classified field manual, The General Staff’s Operational Concept for the IDF, is the result of four years of serious study. It gives expression to the transformative changes the IDF’s way of thinking about war fighting and designing military campaigns underwent since the outbreak of the Palestinian terror war in September 2000.

Yet last week the IDF separated itself from those most responsible for leading its intellectual transformation. On May 30, the heads of the IDF’s Operational Theory Research Institute (OTRI), Brig. Gen. (res.) Dov Tamari and Brig. Gen. (res.) Dr. Shimon Naveh, were notified that they were suspended from their duties due to irregularities in their billing procedures. read more

IDF Violates Sabbath To Crush Hilltop Community

Full Text;

Police and army soldiers forced youth out of a hilltop community at 1:30 early Saturday morning and demolished buildings on the site, near Kiryat Arab-Hevron. After being taken to the police station, the youth returned to the site and slept outside and then prayed and ate in the morning.

Knesset Members Tzvi Hendel and Uri Ariel (National Union) said that if the reports are true, the soldiers involved should be punished. “This is not a war” where Sabbath violation is necessary, said MK Hendel.” read more

Evacuees: We Have Not Been Compensated

Excerpts;

Residents of the former Gaza Strip settlement of Tel Katifa, who were evacuated last summer, claimed that the Disengagement Authority refused to compensate them because it does not recognize the settlement.

A special committee determined that Tel Katifa residents qualify for a lesser compensation, while in reality they received no compensation at all.

The special committee appointed for Tel Katifa evacuees was instructed by the Disengagement Authority to ignore the evacuees’ request to recognize Tel Katifa as a community. Ynet obtained documents which prove that the government did recognize Tel Katifa as a community. read more

Gush Etzion Protestors Dodge Police Stun Grenades, Skirt Barrier

Full Text;

Hundreds of demonstrators Friday morning dodged four stun grenades thrown by border police as they demonstrated on the east Gush Etzion-Jerusalem road that the military has closed to Jews. The two crowds from Har Homa to the north and Tekoa to the south managed to break through barbed wire barriers and meet each other on the road, where the normal travel time to the capital is eight minutes.

Residents have been forced to use the Efrat-Jerusalem tunnel highway, where travel time in the morning rush hour takes up to two hours, partly because of army checkpoints and construction for the separation barrier. read more

Olmert Caves in to Bush

For context, click here.

Excerpt;

Ehud Olmert did indeed receive a magnificent reception at the White House last month, and he must have been delighted when President George W. Bush signaled his intention to retain with him the warm relationship built up with Ariel Sharon.

In turn, Olmert acquitted himself with distinction, maximizing his communication skills. He delivered a magnificent address to the joint houses of Congress and his responses at the press conference were exemplary. read more

No Rights in Judea, by David Bedein

For context; click here.

Excerpts;

Car stickers for Judean Jews only formalize discrimination.

The request of the Israeli government for Israeli citizens to place a sticker on their car if they live in Judea was stated as a way to “ease the situation at the checkpoints.”

The only problem is that the move does nothing to do so.

Having lived in the Judean city of Efrat for 21 of my 36 years in Israel, I can attest to the fact that most people who live here did not grasp the loss of human rights and civil liberties until the government suggested that their cars be labeled for inspection. read more
