admin — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 01:19:27 +0000

The Labor members elected one of the most non-electable Israeli politicians, Ehud Barak. Headed by Barak, the Labor is slated to lose national elections to Netanyahu’s Likud.

Avodah’s heavyweight Yacimovich supports Barak

admin — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 05:21:45 +0000

The Labor’s quasi-communist Shelly Yacomovich supports Ehud Barak in Labor primaries. Yacimovich correctly reasoned that Avodah headed by Ami Ayalon stands little chance against Netanyahu-headed Likud. Ayalon is too right for Labor voters: he was cautious about disengagement from Gaza and respectful toward Jewish settlers, universally hated by the Left.

Shimon Peres is set to become Israeli president

admin — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 02:14:33 +0000

Katsav only perhaps raped a girl. Shimon Peres raped the entire country, and repeatedly. Peres is directly responsible for thousands Jewish “victims of peace process.” Peres engineered Oslo Accords and brought Arafat from exile to Gaza.
Semi-right presidential candidate Reuven Rivlin seeks support from Israeli leftists and Arab parties.
Israel people have no say in election of president, who is appointed by Knesset through party machinations. Shimon Peres, corruptioner and machinator par excellence, naturally stands the best chance to win presidential elections. Peres needs presidential office to lobby for further Israeli withdrawals and concessions to Arabs while having none of prime minister’s responsibility.

Avodah pays to Arabs to vote for Barak

admin — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 12:13:53 +0000

Infrastructure Minister Ben Eliezer connected 175 Arab houses to electricity as a payoff for Arabs voting Barak in Avodah primaries. Electricity is virtually free for Arabs since Israeli government pays there arrears to avoid disturbances. Relying on Arab voters is an instance of treason by Barak, the Jewish State’s prime minister hopeful.

Paz-Pines sells to Barak

Paz-Pines, who lost the Labor’s primaries, instructed his voters to turn to Barak in return - officially - for Barak’s promise to push Olmert’s resignation on Winograd report. Barak, then a prime minister, presided over the withdrawal from Lebanon which paved the way to the Second Lebanon War and Winograd accusations against Olmert.

Peretz endorsed Ayalon, Ayalon praised Peretz

for outstanding achievements. Ayalon was careful to speak of Peretz’s “socioeconomic” achievements. Peretz didn’t conduct socioeconomic policies in Olmert’s government.

Avodah trading voters

admin — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 07:28:56 +0000

Amir Peretz offered his voters to Ayalon in exchange for a welfare minister portfolio for Peretz. Peretz imagines his supporters will automatically vote for Ayalon on Peretz instruction rather than for Barak, who is closer to Peretz ideologically. Peretz expects Ayalon to keep the ultra-left Education Minister Yuli Tamir and the Arab “minister of science” with no high school education.
Barak courts Avodah’s Arab voters.

Kadima names Peres its presidential candidate

A likely murderer of Yitzhak Rabin, Arafat’s advocate, Oslo architect, and a corrupt thug runnign dozens of funds is Olmert’s choice for the President of Israel. A serial rapist would be a better choice.

Gaydamak lays claim to Lieberman’s voters

Netanyahu talks oh so tough!

admin — Fri, 18 May 2007 09:24:17 +0000

Netanyahu called on Olmert to cut power, water supply to Gaza, blockade the place, and employ harsh military retaliation. Was it the same Netanyahu who sheepishly signed the Wye River Memorandum and gave the ancient Jewish capital of Hebron to Arafat?

Ayalon leads in Labor primaries over Barak

admin — Fri, 11 May 2007 09:58:01 +0000

by a comfortable 11% margin. Still, more than a third of the Labor Party members will vote for Barak who left south Lebanon to Hezbollah and offshore gas field near Gaza – to Arafat.
Like Halutz, Ayalon lacks experience in ground combat: he has led Israeli vanity forces, the navy. Olmert, accordingly, offered the Labor to switch from Defense to Finance Ministry. Ayalon and trade-unionist Peretz are even less qualified to run Israeli finances.
Ayalon, as a chief of Shin-Bet security service, hunted down conservative Jews following Rabin’s assassination. Ayalon is notoriously cautious: from his days in the military to the disengagement-time’ dancing a narrow line between leftists and settlers.

The power broker seeks a job

admin — Thu, 10 May 2007 13:36:46 +0000

Shimon Peres, arguably the most influential Israeli power broker, announces he won’t claim prime minister’s position in exchange for Olmert’s support of him for Israeli president. Peres shared Nobel peace prize with Arafat, lost previous bids for party leadership, and is widely viewed as unelectable unless the political bosses make all major contenders for Israeli presidency withdraw. Peres campaigns on the peace process agenda and told Winograd commission he opposed the Lebanon war though voted for it. Shas’ Ovadia Yosef supports Peres. State Comptroller Lindenstrauss already had started hunting down Peres’ contender Rivlin (Likud). Shelly Yacomovich (Labor) openly blackmails another presidential contender, Rabbi Lau over unspecified stories from his past.

Oligarchs take Jewish WWII veterans hostage

After Israeli-Russian mogul Arkady Gaydamak announced his plans to run for Jerusalem mayor, the incumbent Uri Lupolyanski frustrated the WWII Victory Day march sponsored by Gaydamak. Gaydamak and Lupopyanski accuse each other of using the war veterans for personal reasons.

More Israelis demonstrated against Olmert than for Gush Katif

admin — Fri, 04 May 2007 12:36:09 +0000

150,000 crowd in Tel Aviv demanded ousting Olmert for, as Winograd alleges, blindly following the army’s recommendations and fighting the Lebanese back rather than seeking political measures. Demonstrations against Gush Katif eviction didn’t gather that many people. Meretz, Likud, and NRP joined to organize the rally. Qui bono? Netanyahu.

Olmert will stay

admin — Fri, 04 May 2007 12:34:59 +0000

Livni’s putsch, Dayan’s demonstrations failed to overturn Olmert. Friends and sponsors stick to Olmert rather than trying to salvage their investment in Kadima with Livni. Olmert is now the best prime minister for the right wing: unable to garner support for evacuation of Judea and Samaria and not pressured to do so by EU and US who prefer him to Netanyahu.

Happy hour for Netanyahu:

admin — Thu, 03 May 2007 10:21:30 +0000

skirmishes in the Knesset aim at overthrowing Olmert. Netanyahu, who signed Wye River accords and gave Hebron to Arabs, wants to lead the country again.

Livni, Nasrallah want Olmert to quit,

admin — Thu, 03 May 2007 10:21:03 +0000

Livni refuses to resign, says she wants to signal leadership, not protest. Livni has supported Olmert’s wartime decisions. Now Livni wants none of the responsibility, but to remove Olmert and lead Kadima. Olmert’s other accomplices, including Peretz, refused to quit.

Kadima wants a human face: Livni, not Olmert’s

admin — Wed, 02 May 2007 10:30:26 +0000

As if Olmert has acted alone rather than on Kadima’s mandate. Kadima faction chairman Avigdor Yitzhaki, before quitting: “Everyone realizes that [Olmert] staying in power is not good for Kadima or the country”. Kadima first, the country distant second.

urge Olmert to step down. Livni lacks significant military experience, vowed to continue evacuation from Judea and Samaria, help create a Palestinian state. Winograd report doesn’t level crucial accusations at Olmert. The establishment hunts the Prime minister down after he proved insufficiently prompt in returning Judea and Samaria to Arabs.
The report criticizes Olmert for starting the war too rapidly.
