Column One: The Free World’s Achilles Heel, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair is Israel’s best friend in Europe. And he’s not a very good friend.

Immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US, Blair was instrumental in convincing US President George W. Bush to view the Palestinian jihad against Israel as a conflict completely separate from the global jihad. His success in convincing Bush of this distinction turned the anti-Semitic – not to mention strategically disastrous – view that terrorists who kill Israelis should be treated differently from terrorists who kill anyone else into one of the cognitive foundations of the US war on Islamic terror. 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

The Necessary Accounting By Caroline Glick

“Olmert and his colleagues require the fiction of Abbas as a moderate leader and the fiction of Fatah as a moderate counterweight to Hamas to justify their planned policy of retreating from Judea and Samaria.

It becomes self-evident that both the demand for Olmert, Peretz and Halutz to resign and the demand that an accounting be made of the mistakes that led Israel to its strategic defeat in Lebanon are necessary.

The only way that the proper lessons can be drawn is for the current military and political leadership to be replaced by alternative leaders capable of understanding the nature of the threats that surround us. For both objectives to be achieved, the only commission of inquiry that should be established is the inquiry of the citizens of the state that takes place in general elections.” read more

Commentary;

Something seems amiss. For the past number of days, at least since Sunday, there is little war-related news to speak of from any of the major news sites, including Israel National News. In the view of this author, that this could suddenly be is unfathomable. This author’s guess is that big-time spin and censorship is at work as Olmert, Peretz, Halutz, etc. scurry around endeavoring to prove that Israel “won” the War in Lebanon and that there’s no need for an investigatory panel with clout. read more

Comment: An Unmitigated Disaster, By Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

There is a good reason that Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah has accepted UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which sets the terms for a cease-fire between his jihad army and the State of Israel.

The resolution represents a near-total victory for Hezbollah and its state sponsors Iran and Syria, and an unprecedented defeat for Israel and its ally the United States. This fact is evident both in the text of the resolution and in the very fact that the US decided to sponsor a cease-fire resolution before Israel had dismantled or seriously degraded Hezbollah’s military capabilities. read more

The agreement was expected to go into effect by Monday morning.

The IDF’s New Definition of Victory

Excerpts;

Hizbullah’s fighting force in southern Lebanon can be totally eliminated, say generals in the IDF, but that will take a much more intensive invasion by ground troops, capturing all the territory up to the Litani River. There is a consensus, both at the political and the military levels, that Israel shouldn’t be doing that as the cost – in casualties, in economic damage caused by a widespread reservists call-up and in international support – is deemed prohibitive. read more
