Dichter: Stop Kassams at Any Cost. Olmert: Continue Restraint

Excerpts;

Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter demanded that the IDF stop Kassam attacks on southern Israel at any cost, even if it means reconquering territory in Gaza to widen the security buffer zone.

Dichter was adamant that the defense establishment take steps to put an end to the constant rocket fire launched from northern Gaza into the western Negev, “as the IDF paralyzed Hezbollah this week.” read more

In Israel, Vested Interests Trumps Caring for Fellow Jews …

In the tradition of Malcolm Hoenlein who sat on the truth regarding William Tenet’s position on Jonathan Pollard for 6 years, Jonathan Bassi and Major General Giora Eiland have now denounced the Sharon/Olmert government actions “disengagement” from Gush Katif as well as, in Eiland’s case, Olmert’s, convergence (or is that consolidation, or perhaps realignment) plan.

Almost Doesn’t Matter: COS Dan Halutz

COS Halutz: Classroom of Kids Almost Murdered by Rocket Doesn’t Matter Since No Deaths?

For Context, click here.

Excerpts;

IMRA: A week ago a classroom full of kids in Sderot were not killed when a rocket made a direct hit on the classroom because the kid’s morning prayers, held in another room, ran a minute late.

Dan Halutz used to be in the Air Force. In the IAF a near miss is treated with the same severity as the real thing. A pilot who recklessly almost hits another jet can find himself facing the same investigation and consequences as a pilot who crashes. read more

Another Fine Mess …

Another Tack: Stan Laurel’s Smile, by Sarah Honig

Excerpts;

Israel’s Diaspora-born founding fathers ironically knew how to stand up to the world’s highest and mightiest. They could – and often did – send foreign potentates and their emissaries packing. But not so the progeny they reared, ostensibly unconstrained by degrading complexes. Pragmatic Sabras endlessly calculate the odds and are serially overwhelmed by them.

Pressurable and pliable Rabin, Barak, Sharon and Olmert – all products of our local insular upbringing – don’t remotely measure up to the stick-to-itiveness of Ben-Gurion, Golda, Begin or Shamir. Sabras may swagger but they’re fretful. They posture as tough unsentimental moral relativists, but they lack resolve, conviction and – pardon the untrendy term – pride. read more

Column One: Israel’s Premeditated Market Failure, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

One of the foundations of the free market is rational choice theory. That theory assumes that private individuals generally make decisions that maximize their profits and utility and do so far better than any collective organization or bureaucracy. Rational choice theory stands or falls on the availability of information. Without the free flow of information, people are unable to make rational choices.

In Israel, as the country’s steady economic growth and high placement on just about every significant global economic index shows, the economic liberalization reforms enacted by former prime minister and finance minister Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu have been a complete success. The Israeli economy is the envy of a Europe that suffers from stagnation and decline. read more

Olmert: Realignment in One Step

Excerpts;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he wanted to carry out West Bank withdrawal in one single step, which he believes will be less traumatic for the Israeli public.

In an exclusive Shavuot interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, Olmert said: “I want to clarify that I am opposed to dividing the realignment into stages. This process will be difficult and painful even if it goes smoothly. I think carrying it out in stages will traumatize the public, and I have mentioned before that I am opposed to this.” read more

Ex-CIA Head: Gaza Pullback was “Worst,” Olmert’s Plan Even Worse

Excerpts;

James Woolsey, a former CIA Director, explains succinctly why Ehud Olmert’s second disengagement plan is a bad idea.

Woolsey sums up Olmert’s plan as follows: “The withdrawal of 50,000 to 100,000 Israeli settlers from 90% to 95% of the West Bank and major portions of Jerusalem,” together with a redeployment of the IDF near the security fence currently under construction.

He objects to the plan for the following reasons: read more
