More Proof; Jewish Security Guided by Extent of Jewish Self-Reliance, Will, Strength, Faith, Determination and Arab Perception of Same
Peace Without Golan in Syrian Hands, by Uri Heitner (Ynet)

“The significant difference is between Turkey’s attitude to its land, sovereignty and borders and Israel’s attitude to its land, sovereignty and borders. For dozens of years, Turkey was unwilling to discuss any kind of compromise in Alexandretta. It never expressed a willingness to cede Alexandretta in exchange for peace. It never negotiated a withdrawal from Alexandretta. Its attitude was clear and simple – Alexandretta is ours. Period.”
Could This Be the Beginning of The End of Olmert Regime, or Validation of the Olmert/(Sharon) Etrog Theory?

Full Text;
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s Bureau Chief is restricted to house arrest, while several others, including her brother, are in custody over a major tax and bribe scandal.
Shula Zaken, her brother Jerusalem City Councilman (Likud) Yoram Karashi, and others are suspected of involvement in accepting or arranging bribes from political figures and businesspeople in return for tax breaks and other favors.
Olmert’s Bureau Chief was restricted to house arrest for ten days by a Tel Aviv magistrate Tuesday night after being questioned by the fraud squad at its Bat Yam headquarters for more than eight hours. Her brother is in custody, along with the Director-General of the Israel Tax Authority and a private businessman.
Regime’s Abject Neglect for Southern Communities Bordering Gaza: Great Mystery or Sector Discrimination Reincarnate?
‘Government Helped North, Discriminating Against South’
Full Text;
Two prominent figures in Israel’s economy are blaming the government for discriminating against southern Israel and giving it less compensation than northern Israel received, even though both were hard hit by war. Manufacturers’ Association president Shraga Brosh and Ofer Eini, head of the Histadrut general labor union, claim the government has failed to give residents of Sderot any real aid, in the face of unceasing rocket attacks by Gaza terrorists.

Commentary;
Caroline Glick’s article on Yasser Arafat’s dominant role in the March, 1973 deaths of US Embassy’s Charges d’Affaires George Curtis Moore, US ambassador Cleo Noel and Belgian Charges d’Affairs Guy Eid by Fatah’s Black September group in their raid of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan is a vain excercise and unfortunately, does not convince anyone that matters among the nations. And once again it shows the sheer folly of Israel’s leaders putting any reliance on man, on any so-called committment by any outside parties.

Parsha Vayechi 5767: Eretz Yisrael, the Fast of 10 Tevet and the Regime Monkeys (or Rather Chimps) on our Back
Last year, this author related how Parsha Vayechi recounts two experiences which carry a common thread relating to Eretz Yisrael. And this week, we’ve just completed our Fast of 10 Tevet. And one year later, it’s deemed important that this thread be recalled.
Our parsha tells how, when Yaakov saw that the time of his death was
near, he called for Yosef and made him (Yosef) promise not to bury him
(Yaakov) in Mitzriyim, but rather in Ma’Orat HaMachpela in Chevron. (Perek 47, posuk 29)

Tamir announced her decision to include the Green Line more than a month ago, arguing that it was important to teach the history of the Green Line, which marks the 1967 borders of Israel, in order to familiarize children with prevailing political concepts.
