Arava Power announced a new project for 58MW. That would only be laudable if not for the fact that the government subsidizes solar energy. In effect, Israeli consumers pay more for electricity to benefit the corporation.

Whoppingly, Arava will spend almost $300 million for the 58MW capacity, though the regular cost of such installations is $1-2 per Watt, or 3-5 times lower. The cost increase helps the company to claim subsidies.

Meanwhile, house owners are refused the right to install solar panels on their houses because of the lack of subsidy funds.

The Health Ministry’s committee decided on new guidelines for surrogate mothers, egg donations, etc. They would allow ’single men’ to hire a woman to bear a child for them; such services must remain nominally altruistic, with payment done under the table.

Some 40,000 haredim demonstrated in New York in favor of regulating Internet access and, in particular, against Facebook which subverts traditional family values.

They are right, the subversion is there, but there is hardly any way to stop the progress, however detrimental it is to traditional moral values. Likewise, insular Jewish communities of Eastern Europe opened up to the world about 150 years ago, and American haredim are no different. Out of Israel, there is no long-term option for Jews to escape assimilation.

The arrests took place during the Jerusalem Day demonstrations. Jews were detained for chanting nationalist slogans (what a crime on Jerusalem Day) while the Arabs were throwing rocks on Jews (their way to mark our liberation). If the police considered arrested all Arabs who chanted anti-Jewish slogans, there would be no space left in jails.

The ultra-left NGO distributed a video showing settlers firing at Palestinians while soldiers stand by. The Palestinians, poor beings, are seen throwing rocks and firebombs at the settlers.

The soldiers’ actions are indeed abhorrent, but for a different reason: they stood idle while the Arabs attempted to lynch Jews.

Police seemingly abandoned their usual cover-up tactics and reported yet another incident of rape: the Arabs assaulted two young girls near Haifa.

The statistics is nothing new, such crime is commonplace for years. There must be a reason the government decided to frighten the public, and that reason is not clear. One possibility is that the Interior Minister plays his own political game after losing Lieberman’s support. Another possibility is related to political aspirations of ex-security chiefs. Yet another is that Netanyahu attempts to set the goals other than attacking Iran.

For many years Israeli leaders made a point of flying on regular airlines. At most, they chartered a plane from El Al. The government has decided to break that tradition and purchase a plane for the PM and president.

Ramat-MigronWhile the government keeps talking about legalizing many of the outposts—which is not likely due to foreign pressure—demolitions continue.

This week the Jewish army helped tear down two Jewish hamlets, and this night they tore down yet another, Ramat Migron. In this Jewish madness of a national army siding with the nation’s enemies against its most patriotic elements, the IDF detained several Jews for trespassing in a closed military zone. How did a hamlet become a military zone in the first place, and only for demolition? Closed military zones according to the law can only be set up when there is imminent danger to Jews. In civil relations, such a false declaration would easily be recognized as forgery.
