A Step Forward [??] for One Gush Katif Community, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

A proposal to expand a central-Israel moshav for families expelled from Netzer Hazani has been submitted. Elsewhere, Katif expellees already settled in Shomeriya say they still have no phone lines.

The expelled families of Gush Katif continue to suffer the ups and downs of the bureaucratic process of building them permanent homes in place of the ones the government destroyed in the summer of 2005.

The families of Netzer Hazani were given reason for hope, while those of Atzmonah-Shomeriya and Shirat Hayam scored a minus. read more

Making the Case Against Genocide, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Esteemed friends of Israel, such as Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz and former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler, could get no information from the Foreign Ministry, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Defense Ministry or the IDF’s Spokesman’s Unit. No one could be bothered to talk to them. No one had time to help them help Israel.”

Excerpts;

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an evil man. But he is not a stupid man. Indeed, he is smart and fastidious. He understands power and how to get it. And he understands that the purpose of a nation’s foreign policy is to sell ideas and messages and to build coalitions that enable a state to achieve its national aims. Due to his understanding and his abilities, Ahmadinejad has achieved significant success in advancing his policy aims of defeating the United States, destroying the State of Israel, and acquiring nuclear weapons. read more

Gush Etzion Promoting Image with ‘Lamed-Heh’ March, by Anshel Pfeffer (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

About 600 soldiers and high-school students marched throughout Thursday night in the Jerusalem Hills, recreating the route taken 59 years ago by the fabled “Lamed-Heh” (the Hebrew letters representing the number 35) who were killed in battle on their way to help relieve the siege on Gush Etzion during the War of Independence.

This is not just a lesson out in the field. The battle of the Lamed-Heh, four months before the state’s establishment, is still material for historical dispute and also has current and future political relevance. read more
