Fatah member: Abbas Recognition of Israel Political, By Aaron Klein (WND)

“Our Fatah movement keeps dreaming of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa and Akko”

Commentary;

“Land for Peace” and all of it’s synonyms and euphemisms, i.e. convergence, consolidation, realignment, security fences, etc. ought to be killed and cremated. The concept is not even worthy of burial. It envisions nothing more than the separation of Israelis from their Jewish roots and heritage. It is nothing more than the fruition of all of the self-doubt which the post-zionist elitists have brainwashed the average Israeli into believing. MB read more

PM Olmert Attends Israel Democracy Institute Seminar on “The Jewish
Character of the State of Israel – Religious Zionism as a Motivating Factor for National Dialogue” (IMRA)

Excerpts;

Prime Minister Olmert made the following remarks:

“The religious Zionist public is in severe distress in the wake of the harsh public debate that is giving rise to fundamental questions regarding the character of the state according to its worldview. This public has had to cope with the difficult experience of having to accept the concession over territory and settlements. Its distress must be understood and a track for deep and sincere dialogue with it must be found. read more

Yom Kippur 5767: Unity, Brachot and the Jews; Kohanim to Mankind — Revisited

By Moshe Burt

The Mussaf portion of any prayers; Yom Tov, Rosh Chodesh, Shabbos represent the essence, the main point of that day.

On Yom Kippur, the essence of the service, the ikar is the avodah of the Kohen Godol. So much so is this the case that the Mussaf service centers around the order of the Kohen Godol’s service in the Kodosh Kodoshim (the Holy of Holies in the Beit HaMikdash). The service includes all of the preparations which the Kohen Godol makes prior to the service, the clothing he must wear at each step of the avodah, the number of times that the Kohen must bathe himself prior to each change of clothing and before each step of his service, the drawing of lots determining which goat is for Hashem and which for The Mountain of Azazel (the goat designated by lot to bear the burden of death to rectify B’nai Yisrael’s sins) and more. And by virtue of our being Hashem’s “most favored nation”, The Kohen Godol is to the Jews a paradigm of Hashem’s blueprint of what the Jews are to represent to the other nations of Mankind. read more

Abbas: Demanding Barghouti for Shalit…

Abbas: We’ll Demand Barghouti for Shalit


Excerpt;

“Palestinian president says PA will demand release of Fatah leader Barghouti, PLF Secretary-General Saadat as part of any agreement that would include Shalit’s release; representatives for groups involved in kidnapping deny reports of imminent prisoner exchange deal.”

For context on Marwan Barghouti, click here.

Commentary;

Abu (Abu Abbas in a business suit) Mazen, aka Mahmoud Abbas, Ehud Olmert’s retreaded hope for restarting the Road Map and for doing “convergence” (expulsion of 10s of thousands of Jews under a different label), has demanded the release of Barghouti and Saadat, imprisoned for their involvement in the Rachavim Ze’evi assassination (as well as countless other terror attacks) as part of any agreement that would include Shalit’s release. The other component is the release of many hundred terrorist murderers. What the heck does Israel need Abbas for? That deal could have been done the day after. But it is far too vast a price to pay in terms of Israel’s anti-terrorist credibility, appeasement and collective self-respect and self immage. read more

The Europeanization of Israel, By Sarah Honig (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

Wherever we tune in these days, we hear somber-voiced pundits expound on how Israel can’t defeat Hezbollah. Some self-professed omniscients – who keep prattling despite having never missed an opportunity to get everything thoroughly wrong – go as far as to suggest we now sacrifice the Golan to appease Hezbollah’s Syrian masters and mollify Assad Jr. a tad, just enough to tamper with his fixation on the bogeys from Teheran. read more

A Visit to the Reserve Soldiers’ Protest in the Rose Garden …

moshe

This author visited the reservists protest site at the Rose Garden on Sunday afternoon. The visit was both discouraging and disheartening at best.

After visiting the Quality in Government table and signing their petition calling for a state committee of investigation, they were asked how many people have signed the petition. The response; around 50,000 signers. About 100 meters further were the tables where reservists were sitting. One table was at street level and another was up, in the garden, along one of it’s paths. read more

Judea and Samaria: Where Do We Go From Here? By Anshel Pfeffer (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

The settlers in Judea and Samaria are beginning to plan a major offensive. This time it won’t include moving caravans in the dead of night onto a barren hilltop; the next battle will be carried out by slick PR firms in Tel Aviv in a desperate last-ditch attempt to shift the Israeli mainstream. The next plan for the future of the region might come from, of all places, the YESHA Council.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert virtually admitted on Monday at the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that realignment was off indefinitely, and opinion polls show that a majority of Israelis suddenly think that disengagement wasn’t such a great idea, a year afterwards, and increasingly oppose another unilateral retreat. read more

According to MK (Meretz-Yahad) Ran Cohen, a committee member, Olmert made it clear in his briefing that the Realignment Plan is no longer relevant, the plan calling for the removal of most of the communities throughout Judea and Samaria. read more
