Disturbing Poll About American Jewish Support of Israel …

US Jews Support Israel, Don’t Speak Up

Excerpts;

US Jews are strong supporters of Israel but usually tend to refrain from defending Israel publicly. This is one of the main conclusions of a new poll that surveyed the views of American Jews.”

While the support for Israel seemed solid, pollster Luntz warned from ‘disturbing signs that support could shift in the wrong direction’. He noted that one in five American Jews does not support Israel in questions concerning its conflict with the Palestinians. ‘Every day people are dying and in this conflict I would like to see 90% backing Israel’, he added.” read more

Weekly Commentary: Framing Israel’s Elections As Retreat Referendum Could Defeat Sharon

Excerpts:

PM: Israel to Control its Own Security

What a laugh! Sharon has created a situation, via the expulsion, the crossing
“agreements” and in countless other instances, where he has TOTALLY abrogated his responsibility as PM to see to the security, good and welfare of the Nation he heads. In any other nation, or at least in any democracy, his actions would at least constitute impeachable offenses, perhaps more. MB

Potholes, Pits and Pandemics …

This article was emailed recently by my friend Evelyn Haies, the Head of “Rachel’s Children Reclamation Foundation” where a Sefer Torah was installed on 7 July, 2005 through the efforts of The Sefer Torah Recycling Network.

“P0THOLES, PITS AND PANDEMICS”

And it was all because they knew not Yosef, their Jewish brother with roots, rights and respectability. So it was that they dis-engaged from the ways of their forefathers, the midos of the Imaot, the borders of their family of Israel. read more

A Jewish One State Plan …

Israel, From the Mediterranean to the Jordan?

Excerpts:

” … All parties are prepared to withdraw to varying degrees and on different preconditions. In effect, Labour and Kadima accept the two-state solution as envisioned by the Roadmap and Likud is paying lip service to it because its preconditions are unlikely to be fulfilled.”

“The desire to withdraw is driven by a widely disseminated demographic myth that the Arabs outnumber Jews west of the Jordan. Most people are unaware of a Demographic Study completed this year which concluded that there are only 1.4 million Arabs in Judea and Samaria of which it is estimated between 100,000 and 300,000 have already infiltrated into Israel. If Israel were to annex these territories, the Jews would constitute 67% of the combined population. This is a percentage that has remained constant since ’67. read more

Hanegbi: Likud Must Examine its Errors

Excerpt:

“His comments in an Army Radio interview came in response to recent public opinion polls indicating a sharp decline in support for Likud following the establishment of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s new party Kadima.”

While Hanegbi is examining Likud’s “errors” which have caused the erosion of support, he might try a little self-examination as to why he repeatedly and arrogantly evaded receiving Nadia Matar’s petitions with hundreds of thousands of names against a pa terror state. He might want to self-examine his mainly arrogant general demeanor. read more

Parsha Toldos: To Rise Above the Norm

Parsha Toldos 5766 — To Rise Above the Norm
By, Moshe Burt

The Israeli political scene at present resembles a Free Agency Market. It’s talents or shall we say, bounty-hunters are for hire to the highest bidder, and represent the likes of which would make America’s sports Free Agency look lame by comparison.

Forget Major League Baseball’s rush for “Closers”(the guy to pitch the 8th and or 9th innings and hold a lead) — Wagner $43 Million for 4 years, B.J. Ryan $47 Million 5 years, etc. read more
