IDF General Says Katyusha Not an Escalation of PA Terrorism

Excerpts;

Despite heavy damage to a chicken coop, Chief of IDF intelligence Gen. Amos Yadlin says that Tuesday’s firing of a Katyusha rocket is not an escalation of the conflict between Israel and the PA.

Yadlin supported his view by comparing Tuesday’s attack on Netiv HaAsarah with a similar strike which occurred on March 28, the date of the Israeli election. That strike caused no injuries or damage. Tuesday’s attack, however, caused substantial damage to a chicken coop. No one was injured, but 30 birds were destroyed. read more

Parsha Behar; Shemittoh — A Connection of a Jew to HIS Land.

By, Moshe Burt

Rashi asks a critical question on the very first posuk of our Parsha; “Hashem spoke to Moshe on Har Sinai, saying.” (Parsha Behar, Vayikra Perek 25, posuk 1) He asks why the laws of Shemittoh are singled out as having been given at Sinai. Were not all of the Mitzvot said at Sinai?” He answers that just as all of the Mitzvot; their general rules and their specifics were taught at Sinai, so too were the general rules and specifics regarding Shemittoh taught at Sinai. Rashi then reasons that the posuk comes to teach us that every utterance said to Moshe, they were all from Sinai. read more

I Give Up on Israel, by Joseph Farah

Excerpts;

I am through defending Israel – at least the regime currently in power in Jerusalem, this useless coalition seemingly hell-bent on committing national suicide.

Next week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, a man I once considered, like his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, a reasonable, rational, level-headed defender of his country, is set to visit Washington with his hand out.

He is asking for an initial commitment of up to $10 billion in direct U.S. aid to implement his plan for national retreat, appeasement of the global jihad and a new sellout of more than 200,000 Israeli civilians who have made their homes in historically Jewish lands in Judea and Samaria at the behest and recommendation of earlier Israeli governments. read more

PM Olmert Implicated in Questionable Land Deal

Excerpts;

In the latest scandal linking the Israeli leader to government corruption, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert allegedly intervened in 2004 beyond his position as then-industry and trade minister in the sale of a port that was greatly undervalued using questionable methods, according to a state comptroller’s report.

Israeli Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss also slammed the country’s police and the attorney general, Menachem Mazuz, for the “ease and frequency” of decisions to dismiss criminal complaints without investigation. Mazuz many times has closed corruption investigations on government officials, including Olmert. read more

Eitan Refuses to Sign Pollard Petition
