The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
Rabbi Yosef to Olmert: Free Pollard
Commentary;
If Pollard’s release is so important to the Rav, why was it not made a precondition with teeth, to Shas’ joining the coalition? Why, only after joining the coalition, did Pidyan Sh’vuim: redeeming captured [Jews], become an important mitzvah?
Is Rav Yosef willing to tell Shas to leave the government if Olmert does not return with Jonathan Pollard? MB
Commentary;
As this blog has presented often to date, the demographics problem is grossly exaggerated, overstated by at least 1/3 because of the government of Israel’s insistence on accepting “pa (sic)” demographic numbers as gospel. This acceptance comes despite independent analysis which has proven these “pa (sic)” numbers blatantly false. These blatantly false statics have also been accepted by the Efrat organization and pehaps even by such a highly regarded individual as Jonathan Rosenblum.
Cabinet Approves Transfer of NIS 50 Million to PA
Commentary;
For any intelligent, thinking Jew, these terms thinly cloak the true purposes of the Sharon-Olmert Regime. For such people, the cabinet approved transfer of NIS 50 million to the “pa(sic)” is a complete absurdity.
And Abbas’ promise to keep this funding out of Hamas hands, to use it toward humanitarian needs? If you believe that, there is a bridge to sell you — cheap!
True separation means total and complete separation. No electricity, no telephones, no illegal workers, no monetary transfers, for any reason.

Mr. Olmert, Don’t Come Back Without Pollard
Excerpts;
Mr. Olmert, as you head to Washington, you are taking with you secret information about the development of ballistic weapons of war in Iran for use in Iraq. The reliability of the information you will be bringing, and the details of Iraq’s war capabilities, may help the United States to fight more effectively in Iraq to save the world from the threat of nuclear war. Consequently, you know just how valuable this secret information is. Thus, you may even begin to appreciate the great sacrifice that Jonathan Pollard made in passing this kind of information to save the State of Israel from the threat of destruction. Israel is obliged to do everything possible to secure his release from prison.

‘Convergence’ Outcome Exaggerated
Excerpts;
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said this week in a private meeting that his “convergence” plan for a major West Bank withdrawal will involve the removal of fewer than 70,000 settlers, the figure most widely quoted in the media. Other sources in Kadima, meanwhile, now say that the eventual number of settlers to be evacuated will be much lower than 70,000.
The total number of Israelis living in settlements to the east of the separation fence is some 70,000. This has therefore been widely assumed to be the number slated for withdrawal, since the convergence vision presented by Olmert before the elections included moving the settlers from areas beyond the fence into “settlement blocs” within the fence.
Netzer-Hazani Expellees Ordered to Move to Caravilla Homes
Full Text;
Expellee families of Netzer-Hazani were instructed to leave their temporary dwellings and move to caravilla homes. They were informed they must vacate within a week due to the upcoming Shavuot holiday. At present, the expellees are living in guest houses in Kibbutz Chafetz Chaim and Ein Tzurim.
Responding to the eviction order, expellee families indicated they have no intention of complying, explaining many of the caravilla homes are not ready and lack infrastructure, including water hookup. Some do not have water faucets in the home, and there are open pools of water and construction debris scattered about.

“Snubbing soldier is no hero. He is a symptom of a growing phenomenon of spoiled settler brats.”
Commentary;
Infantile Yair Lapid use’s more expletives than Carter’s got peanuts. Not an intelligent phrase or line in his entire gibberish. Lapid will never be more than a pampered, spoiled brat and inept, semi-literate, amateur “journalist(sic).”
Sgt. Dayan is more of a man, more of a mensch than Lapid could ever manage to attain. For those viewing Lapid recently in the overhead video at the Jerusalem Central Bus station dismantling car engines and scratching his head at trying to reassemble them, as Rodney said, Yair, “don’t quit your day job, that’s all you’re good for!
