Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

Commentary;

We have to come to grips with the fact that Chevron is ours, period! And Olmert is trying to Out-Sharon Sharon to prove himself to the left. This author holds that Olmert is only concerned about Olmert — whatever it takes for power, his Jewish brothers and the land of Israel, Israeli Security, perhaps even manhood, self-pride and esteem as a Jew are expedient in his lust and hunger for power.

Esther Pollard: The Circle of Betrayal is Complete

Excerpts;

“The Court simply turned a blind eye to Jonathan’s documented claims of harsh treatment and abuse and to the anti-Semitic nature of his life sentence.
