Major new gas pipeline is too narrow

admin — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 18:37:31 +0000

Israel’s major gas pipeline from El Arish to Ashkelon won’t be able to supply the required volume of natural gas. The damages amount to $500 million. Obviously, the idea was to make the pipeline narrow in order to build yet another pipe, just as with Ashdod-Ashkelon pipe: it, too, was built too narrow and eventually augmented by the underwater pipeline.
Israel gave El Arish gas field to Egypt under Camp David “peace” treaty, and Ashkelon offshore gas field to Fatah under Barak-Lieberman-Araft deal.

Jewish organizations pay for Netanyahu’s hair styling

admin — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:08:15 +0000

Ex-business consultant Netanyahu filed a libel suit against Israeli TV station which implied that he fled to London during the 2006 Lebanon war where he spent more than $30,000 of public funds in six days on personal matters, such as $1,300 for laundry. Netanyahu objects on two technicalities. First, he conducted some kind of pro-Israeli propaganda in London - presumably, in the hotel bar where he left $1,000+ bill. Second, his expenses were paid not by the Israeli public, but by the Diaspora Jews. Next time you think of donating to your local Jewish organization, ask if they plan to invite Netanyahu, all expenses paid.

The Comptroller also noted the total lack of control over the school construction funds allocated by the government to haredim.
Oddly, the Jewish State’s Comptroller is also concerned about the supposedly inadequate school facilities for Israeli Arabs. Any number of schools is too much for the future terrorists.

Israeli president is unsatiable

Peres Peace Center is a well-known money laundering establishment which launders hundreds of millions of dollars in European grants to Arabs and the peace process. The peace center’s offshoot issued a “study” asserting that solving the Arab refugee problem would cost up to 85 billion dollars. That’s $40,000 per “refugee” or $300,000 per average family in the Palestinian refugee camps. In reality, given ten percent of that amount, they would abandon the refugee camps and settle the moon.

Peres sets out to help Fatah

admin — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:03:58 +0000

In order to finance the Fatah gangsters, Peres and Abbas signed an agreement to establish industrial zones in the Arab-occupied Judea. Industrial zones are the Peres’ favorite way of money laundering. His peace foundation receives grants for business development, which are happily stolen. Peres similarly invested in Gaza through his own foundation before transferring the money in the excess of $40 million to a Canadian front company which was supposed to invest in Gaza.

Hezbollah’s fear or Mossad’s failure?

admin — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 21:30:09 +0000

Arab media clam that French intelligence asked Mossad to refrain from kidnapping Hezbollah’s top brass visiting France for talks. Reportedly, Jordan and some Israelis warned the French that Mossad is going to kidnap hostages to exchange them for kidnapped IDF soldiers Regev and Goldwasser. The story may reflect Hezbollah leaders’ fear to leave the safe haven of Lebanon, but if true, it exposes a major mole inside the Mossad who passes information to Israeli leftist politicians and Jordanians.
In another possible leak, Palestinian Assenara newspaper claimed that Israeli security cabinet authorized assassination of Hamas’ Haniyeh.

World Bank criticizes Barak’s deal

admin — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 23:49:42 +0000

A World Bank report lashed out at the Palestinian deal with British Gas company to develop the offshore gas field near Gaza. Ehud Barak gave the field - the only viable field in Israel - to Arafat with the understanding that Arafat would concede it to the British Gas. Barak thus circumvented the tender process which was required to sign the contract with British Gas when Israel owned the gas field. The amount of kickbacks to Barak is estimated in millions of dollars. Avigdor Lieberman also partook in the corrupt deal.

Gaydamak rises up against Mazuz

admin — Thu, 24 May 2007 08:51:42 +0000

While all Israeli politicians and bureaucrats targeted by Attorney General’s politically motivated baseless investigations bow down to Mazuz, non-affiliated Gaydamak could afford to speak out because he derives his income from Putin’s Russia. This time, Arkady Gaydamak published an ad in several newspapers which demands that Mazuz files charges against Gaydamal or leaves him alone. Speedy investigation and trial is a basic human right under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Despite the government’s pressure and offering of “fine resorts,” hundreds of Sderot residents choose to live in Gaydamak’s tent camp in Tel Aviv.
