The Implications and Consequences of Expulsion for the Jewish People
Surprising Results Found in New AJC Poll
Excerpts:
“Nearly 78 percent of respondents in a new poll commissioned by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) agreed with the statement, ‘The goal of the Arabs is not the return of occupied territories but rather the destruction of Israel.’”
“However, 56% said they favor the establishment of a Palestinian state, while 36% said they supported a compromise in Jerusalem in the framework of a permanent peace agreement with the Palestinians.”

Al-Arabiya Director: Pollard for Barghouti
Excerpt;
“According to Abdul Rahman Al-Rashid, director of the United Arab Emirates-based satellite television station Al-Arabiya, the release of convicted terrorist leader Marwan Barghouti from Israeli jail is dependent upon the release of Jonathan Pollard from his American imprisonment. Pollard is serving a life sentence in federal prison for having passed along classified information to Israel.”
Commentary;
It must be understood that this author lovingly prays for Jonathan Pollard’s release daily and Shabbos at every opportunity as well as encorporating a prayer for his release in each Vort on Torah spoken or written. And the possibility that Marwan Barghouti could be released is beyond sickening.

Netanyahu: Likud is on Road Back to Power
Excerpts:
“Netanyahu swept to a comfortable victory in the Likud chairmanship race, as his main rival Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom conceded defeat in a phone conversation with him…”
“The vote count stood at 98 percent on Tuesday morning, with results falling within Channel 1 margin of error: Netanyahu’s lead stood at 44.6 percent to Shalom’s 33 percent. Feiglin received 15 percent while Katz got 8.7 percent.”
“Feiglin’s surprisingly strong showing prompted many outside the party to criticize the Likud’s turn to the right. Finance Minister Ehud Olmert, a member of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Kadima party, told Israel Radio the Likud had become an extreme right-wing, uncompromising party.”
