Paz-Pines: Olmert Weakening Rule of Law, by Gil Hoffman (Jerusalem Post]

Excerpts;

Labor leadership candidate Ophir Paz-Pines launched his campaign on Wednesday by accusing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of being corrupt, Defense Minister Amir Peretz of causing damage and his party of being “addicted to power.”

“Olmert saying that he had no agenda was one of the worst things a prime minister has ever said, especially at a time when mothers are sending their children to war,” Paz-Pines said, referring to a statement Olmert made in September. read more

Distinguishing Facts from Myths Regarding Chevron

Inequality and Discrimination in Hebron (Statement by The Jewish Community of Hebron — February 02, 2007)

Excerpts;

Inequality and Discrimination in Hebron

In contrast to the false, anti-Jewish, and anti-Israeli propaganda, here are the real facts:

* Hebron , a Jewish City

From the standpoint of some of the Israeli and international public, Hebron is an “Arab city.” This view is occasioned by Hebron’s location over the “Green Line,” its current demographic situation (tens of thousands of Arabs alongside only around 1,000 Jews in the inner city, plus 7,000 or so in adjacent Kiryat Arba), and incessant propaganda by the Left. History, however, did not begin in 1967. No cultured person who has studied Bible and ancient and modern history can deny the facts: Hebron is the first Jewish city in history. It is the place where the Jewish national patriarchs lived and were buried. Their burial plot-Ma’arat HaMachpela, the Tomb of the Patriarchs-was the first Jewish property purchased in the Land of Israel, and one of the Jewish people’s most impressive monuments was built atop it. Hebron is an object of yearning for Jews throughout the Diaspora and is
numbered among the four holy cities (along with Jerusalem, Tiberias, and Safed). The Jewish community in Hebron existed for thousands of years until it was brutally displaced in 1929-after Arab marauders murdered, raped, and burned to death scores of Jews and dispossessed the community of properties that included hundreds of acres of real estate. read more

“While Olmert is planning to spring terrorists from prison next week in honor of the Islamic holiday, Gaza’s Christians were too terrified to go to their Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. So the mass was cancelled.” read more
