Our World: Tzipi Livni and Us, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“We must hope that Livni is exposed as an incompetent, opportunistic phony before she can do us similar, if not greater damage in the future.”

Commentary;

A must-read article lest anyone conclude that Livni is governing material. MB

Excerpts;

Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is an interesting case study in how a public image can trump professional competence in Israeli politics.

Livni was brought into politics by then prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu in 1999. The back-bencher became prominent in 2003 after undergoing two major transformations. First, she exchanged her frizzy light brown curls and dowdy dresses for straight blond hair and couture. Next she followed former premier Ariel Sharon from the nationalist camp to the post-Zionist camp. read more

Olmert’s World: And the National Leadership Alternatives to It…

Column One: The World According to Olmert, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Israel’s alternative leadership – Binyamin Netanyahu, Moshe Ya’alon, Shaul Mofaz, Yuval Steinitz, Natan Sharansky, Uzi Landau and others – is clear. These politicians are capable of dealing with the many challenges that have only multiplied as a result of the Olmert government’s incompetence.

These men must bury the hatchets that divide them, rally around Netanyahu’s leadership, bring down the government in an no-confidence vote and lead this country to victory and safety. One needs only to look at the world according to Olmert to see what hangs in the balance.” read more

Subject: Per a staff member, Senator Lautenberg is revisiting the Jonathan Pollard case!

Earlier this afternoon, I made a call to Senator Frank Lautenberg’s office. I was told by one of his staff members that HE HAS RECEIVED A BARRAGE OF PHONE CALLS DEMANDING THAT THE SENATOR WORK TOWARDS FREEING JONATHAN POLLARD. THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT THE SENATOR’S STAFF HAS RECEIVED ABOUT 70 CALLS IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOLD THE INDIVIDUAL THAT SENATOR LAUTENBERG HAD WRITTEN TO ME A FEW MONTHS AGO, STATING THAT HE WAS AGAINST THE RELEASE OF JONATHAN POLLARD AT THAT TIME. BECAUSE OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS, AND SUBSTANTIAL ATTENTION TO JONATHAN’S WELFARE, SENATOR LAUTENBERG IS REVISITING THE ISSUE! LET US KEEP UP THE PRESSURE AND GET JONATHAN HOME BY ROSH HASHANAH!!! read more

Our World: Israel’s Strategic Rot, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Order of Battle, by Division 91 Commander Brig. Gen. Gal Hirsh: ‘a massive infiltration with a small signature, charge, quick deployment in the commanding territories and the creation of cataclysmic contact with the built-up areas while inducing shock and awe.'”

“Division 91’s operations are being reviewed by none other than Brig.-Gen. Hirsh – who has asked to extend his command.” read more

The Coronation of Kofi, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

This week we witnessed one of the greatest perfidies in Israel’s media history. Channel 10’s decision to broadcast both Hezbollah’s 18-year-old film of missing IAF navigator Ron Arad, who was taken hostage by Shi’ites in Lebanon in 1986, and Hezbollah’s video of its abduction of IDF soldiers Benny Avraham, Adi Avitan and Omar Suwaid in October 2000 constituted nothing less than direct collaboration between Channel 10 and Hezbollah. read more

“Detach Us From the Evil Spirit:” Olmert and Halutz Must Go, NOW!

moshe

Protest in the Rose Garden, By Ari Shavit (Haaretz)

“…The Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of Arrogance must both go. Not only because they have been wrong all the way. Not only because they have been wrong, have been deceptive and have cooked up a disaster. But because getting rid of both will distance us from the distorted values that both of them represent. Separation from both of them will detach us from the evil spirit that tricked us for years.”

“Parting from Olmert and Halutz will not solve the deeply ingrained problem, but it will allow us to start dealing with it. It will allow Israel to embark on a long path toward a new beginning.” read more

“Olmert is Giving Up All of Jerusalem”: Caroline Glick

moshe

Column One: Olmert’s Plan for Jerusalem, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Olmert apparently thinks that partitioning the city will secure the Jewish majority of the city. Yet, taking these neighborhoods out of the city will actually endanger that majority.

Over the past few months, a team of American and Israeli researchers conducted a demographic study of Jerusalem and its environs. Last year the same researchers – Bennett Zimmerman, Roberta Seid, Michael Weiss and Yoram Ettinger – conducted the first independent study of the Palestinian population data published by the PA’s Central Bureau of Statistics in 1997. Their study exposed that the PA had inflated the number of Palestinians in Judea, Samaria and Gaza by some 1.5 million or 50 percent. Olmert and his colleagues in Kadima and the Labor Party have justified their plan to surrender Judea and Samaria to Hamas on the basis of these inflated numbers which falsely project that by 2015 there will be more Arabs than Jews between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. read more

Our World: Abbas’s Newest Big Lie, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Fresh from her tete-a-tete with PA leader Mahmoud Abbas last week, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni instructed her press flack to tell her fellow cabinet ministers to remain mum on Abbas’s latest “diplomatic” gambit. In the words of her communications director Shai Ben Maor, Abbas’s decision to turn a document written by convicted Palestinian murderers and attempted murderers sitting in Israeli prisons into the centerpiece of his diplomatic policy is “an internal Palestinian issue” and so Israel should not be weighing in on it. read more

A MUST READ! Olmert Has No Gov’t Without Shas and Agudat Yisrael!, by Hillel Fendel

Excerpts;

“Agudah [United Torah Judaism] is already practically in the government,” they say in Shas, “so why shouldn’t we go in as well?”

“Ehud Olmert can form a government without us,” they say in Agudah, “so let’s at least try to save what we can.”

Wrong! The claim that Olmert has already practically completed forming his convergence-uprooting-expulsion government, and that the hareidi-religious parties are merely an “extra”, is a lie – and if we allow it to go unchallenged, we are liable to find ourselves with tens of thousands more homeless Jews and a bunch of excuses from the religious parties. read more

Another Tack: Olmert’s Middle Schmiddle

Excerpts;

“During this entire campaign we’ve heard nothing unambiguous from prime-ministerial front-runner Ehud Olmert. Saying nothing to all people advantageously ensconces Kadima’s headliner on the much-touted middle ground, hyped as creditable and dependable. Those who won’t flock to that indistinct nondescript space under his leadership are denigrated as fanatics.” read more
