The Utter Sickness of Sinat Chinom — Israelis vs Jews …

moshe

Commentary;

Avi Dichter is just another in a long line of cheap, slimey Israeli political agendists who’s hate and disdain for anything Jewish is soo blind and all-consuming. He would walk away from a part of Israel, from any part of the Land of Israel — in a heartbeat.

The Golan, just as Gaza and Yehuda and the Shomron are part of Hashem’s divine mandate: biblical Israel, those areas which HaKadosh Borchu brought to our possession once again in our contemporary times. There is NO Divine mandate, NO Moral mandate to even hear of, let alone consider abandonment of even an inch of Biblical Israel now in our reshus. read more

The Lessons of Lebanon, By Lenny Ben-David (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

The war did not go well. It’s easy to point to Hizbullah’s six years of preparations, its fanatic devotion to death, and an endless supply of technologically advanced Iranian and Syrian weapons. But the analysis of what went wrong must first be focused on ourselves.

Five of my sons and sons-in-law fought in this war. Now coming out of Lebanon and surviving some of the bloodiest fighting, they are filled with anger. Their short-term and long-term orders were confused and ever-changing. The emergency stocks for their reserve units were in horrible condition. One reservist special forces unit lacked basic communications equipment, they were provided guns that they had never trained on, and their rushed training was done in conditions unlike anything they would see in Lebanon. read more

Our World: Talkin’ About a Revolution, by Caroline Glick

Excerpts;

Whatever marginal diplomatic gains the Olmert government may try to convince the public the draft resolution contains for Israel, the fact is that regardless of the language eventually adopted, and whatever force of French, Egyptian, Turkish, Italian and German soldiers will or will not be deployed to Lebanon, all any cease-fire resolution will do is ensure that there will be another round of war.

This is the case because none of the moves being considered involve the one action that would prevent the next war. That action is an Israeli victory against Hizbullah in Lebanon, and an Israeli and allied strike against Hizbullah’s state sponsors Syria and Iran. read more

Caught With Its Pants Down, By Yoel Marcus (Haaretz)

Excerpts;

The first thought that came to mind when I heard the Reshet Bet radio announcer say that the chief of staff had headed for his underground war room, a.k.a “the pit,” after the kidnapping of two soldiers by Hezbollah, was that he had gone there to hide in shame. Two embarrassing military bungles in less than a month, dictating a prisoner-release deal from the outset, is simply intolerable.

Our illustrious army, one of the most advanced in the world… has been caught twice with its pants down, in scenarios that had been foreseen. Major General Giora Eiland offered a blow-by-blow description of how we fell into a Hamas trap at the Kerem Shalom crossing. Despite the lessons of the past, despite updated alerts, despite being “prepared” for tunnels being dug by terrorists and possible kidnappings, the alarm was not sounded in time. read more
