Foreign Ministry of what state?

Lieberman’s Foreign Ministry is pressuring the EU and US to aid the PA, despite its unilateral UN bid.

Only Jews can be that masochistic.

Jews need not be nice

In an effort to keep pace with their public’s anti-Israeli sentiment, Arab leaders engaged in a typical round of hateful rhetoric.

Abdullah Barghouti, a terrorist serving 67 (!) life terms in an Israeli jail, declared PM Netanyahu guilty of refusing to agree to the prisoner exchange. In the warped Muslim mind, it is not the serial murderer who is guilty, but the prime minister who refuses to submit to terrorist demands. It does not raise eyebrows in Israel that a convicted terrorist freely makes political declarations.

Turkish PM Erdogan claimed that the tomb of foremother Rachel was never Jewish and that Netanyahu destabilized the Middle East by including it on the Jewish Heritage Sites list.

Wakf, an Islamic organization entrusted by mad Israelis with the upkeep of the Temple Mount, defended Friday’s riots, which left 18 policemen wounded. The preacher, mind you, merely asked good Muslims to defend their sites against Israelis.

The UNSC expressed its concerns over the Temple Mount clashes. For some reason, the UN remains unconcerned with dozens of other conflicts throughout the world, which claim millions of lives.

Abbas, who depends on IDF for protection against Hamas and on the Israeli treasury for his salary, joined the chorus of Jew-bashing.

Syria, which used to kill 20,000 Muslim Brotherhood members in a day, and 8,000 Palestinians on the next day, has suddenly embraced pan-Arab views. Its secular Alawite regime lambasted Israel for desecrating sacred Islamic sites—that is, our Temple Mount.

Meanwhile, Jews remained quiet and abstained from name-calling and accusing the other side. So in the world’s eyes the Arabs looked determined and righteously indignant, while the Jews appeared to have been silenced by their guilt.

Commando mentality of Israeli government

Netanyahu’s and Barak’s experiences serving in commando units affects their political mentality. Commandos are necessarily tacticians with short time horizons: the mission must be completed at all costs. Politicians,on the other hand, must be extremely flexible and accommodating.

Thus, when the duo decided to freeze construction, they did so unreservedly and threatened force. Their cavalier tactics provoked riots in the settlements, and a major anti-freeze rally is scheduled in Jerusalem.

Leftists push for re-capturing Gaza?

What are we to make of Peres and Beilin’s puzzling statements on Gaza? Peres publicly regretted the withdrawal, while Beilin claimed he had always opposed it.

Hamas’ victory in Gaza and likely takeover of the West Bank leave the Israeli establishment without peace-process puppets. Ever since Peres brought Arafat, a defeated nobody, from Tunis as a sparring partner for peace negotiations, he has backed the PLO—an organization whose very name suggests liberating all of Palestine from the Jews. Now, Peres needs Israeli bayonets to reestablish Fatah as the dominant power in Gaza.

Both Netanyahu and Lieberman have promised to do away with Hamas. That they cannot do, but Peres pushes them to make good on their promises and invade Gaza. The eventual Israeli defeat in the politically correct war against guerrillas would be Netanyahu’s, while the chance to return Fatah to Gaza belongs to Peres.

Livni: Olmert is corrupt, cares not about Israel

Tzipi, if you’re so smart and clean, what are you doing for years as Olmert’s major minister?

Shas blocks regional elections amendment

though the majority of the Knesset members approved it. The bill, theoretically, would do away with the monopoly of large parties and allow independent candidates with narrow regional support into the Knesset.
Shas voters are concentrated in religious neighborhoods, and such a bill would have diminished the number of Shas MKs.
Long past are the days when Rabbi Kahane, banned from the Knesset, directed his followers to vote for Shas.

Kadima, Avodah fight over who is worse

admin — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 17:01:20 +0000

After Barak accused Olmert of somehow restraining the invasion of Gaza with Kadima primaries, the convicted sex offender cum vice prime minister Haim Ramon lashed at Barak. According to Ramon, Barak repeatedly postponed the operation in Gaza amid Olmert’s insistence on it.
Barak gains a lot of clout internationally with the current ceasefire negotiations, and such clout is indispensable for his out-of-the-government business lobbying activities. Barak also loathe a successful invasion of Gaza which would boost Olmert’s public approval.

Olmert won another intrigue

Hanegbi announced that the efforts to launch the Kadima primary reached a dead end.

Olmert’s successor promises to bomb Iran

admin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 21:00:17 +0000

Shaul Mofaz ventured a nice electoral platform: the explicit promise to attack Iran. Mofaz stands little chance against Livni in Kadima primaries which Olmert tries to block, anyway.

Gaydamak buys three pensioners

Russian magnate Arkady Gaydamak’s “Social Justice” Party received the Knesset representation after three MKs abandoned the Pensioners Party and joined his own. So much for the voters’ trust.
