Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

Kadima Uncertain on Depth of Concessions

Excerpts:

“Ever since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon established his new party Kadima, the polls have predicted that it would gain a decisive victory in the elections. The party’s platform, however, remained unknown. ”

“Only Wednesday, during a faction meeting, Kadima’s Knesset members officially approved the platform’s political chapter.”

“The platform creates a precedent when determining that the expected Palestinian state (which is also part of the platform) will be responsible for the refugee problem.” read more

Kassam-Proof Roof Armor Approved For Use

Excerpt:

“A new armor that will protect roofs against Kassam rockets has been approved for use in buildings located in range of Kassam rocket attacks …”

Commentary:

Arik Sharon has yet again abrogated his solemn responsibilty for the welfare of the Jewish Nation he “leads.”

Regarding this armor; this sounds very reminiscent of the material that several former residents of Gush Katif told me about. The government instructed them to have it installed on their roofs at their own expense. Many of the former residents defiantly refused to have it installed on their roofs. And now, it seems that the Sharon Regime is spinning the same trick on residents of Ashkelon, S’derot, etc. read more

MK Eitan: Publish Results of Sharon’s Post-Stroke Tests

Excerpts:

“According to sources close to Moshe Feiglin, recently defeated in Likud party primaries by Binyamin Netanyahu, Feiglin had not initially intended to run for a Knesset seat. However, moves by party chairman Netanyahu to have Feiglin ousted from the Likud have convinced the Manhigut Yehudit(Jewish Leadership) faction leader that he should offer his candidacy.”

“According to the sources, Feiglin had intended to lower his profile after the primaries and influence the party from outside the Knesset. Michael Puah, a Manhigut Yehudit director, was to run for a Likud parliamentary seat in internal elections, as Puah is a known figure among Likud members.” read more
