Monday War News: Operation Cast Lead — Day 10 — Will Israeli Government Squander Possible IDF Achievements?

.

Commentary;

IMRA’s Dr. Aaron Lerner notes that the current regime, the Olmert, Livni, Barak Troika are aiming to emulate, in Gaza, the Lebanon cease-fire model which columnist Caroline Glick recently described.

Dr. Lerner cites Roni Sofer’s report; Israel Examining International Treaty to Isolate Hamas which follows up his (Sofer’s) report of Sunday, noted on this blog, where he lists Olmert’s conditions to end the conflict.

Lerner comments;

There is a fairly straightforward explanation for PM Olmert’s interest in an international force: The Olmert-Livni team adamantly claims that the Second Lebanon War was a fantastic success because it concluded with the introduction of the grossly ineffective international force…. They thus see their reputations tied to the validity of using international forces. read more

Judaism, Torah and Israel’s Security Ditched by Israeli Governance

.
Commentary;

In case this blog’s readers haver wondered about the dearth of commentary here, it is increasingly difficult to churn out thoughts regarding the myriads of ways in which religious Jews are being undermined and degraded and the ways in which Israel’s security and sovereignty is being damned by leftist elites and their cronies and stooges of Israeli governance.

Here is a selection reports and commentaries making that very point;

Israel to Supply Hamas with Iron

Excerpt;

“Israel agreed to supply the Hamas terrorist organization with iron as part of the ceasefire… Iron is a necessary element for the construction of Kassam rockets.”

Israel’s Darkest Week, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

Excerpts;

The Olmert-Livni-Barak-Yishai government’s liquidation sale of Israel’s strategic assets opened officially this week.

In a naked attempt to divert the public’s attention away from its surrender drive, Thursday morning the government initiated a violent confrontation with Israeli residents of Samaria by ordering the destruction of homes in the community of Yitzhar. In other words, while surrendering to Iranian proxies on four fronts, the government has turned its guns against Israeli citizens. read more

Regime Posturing and Backing Down: It’s Beyond Embarrassing

.


Commentary;

The repeated saber-rattling of the Olmert-Livni-Barak regime has long-since passed way beyond embarrassing. Each episode of saber-rattling, of talking the talk, is inevitably followed shortly thereafter by these incompetent, self-serving political hacks backing down out of fear, intimidation by, and subserviance to the superpower. Without a belief-based rooting, these irreligious so-called “leaders” are thus disabused of “walking the walk.”

And so what results is, as with the Lebanon conflict, a hodge-podge, hit-or-miss set of aims and goals far beneath TOTAL Victory and vanquishment of the enemy sworn to vanquish and decimate us. As this blog has repeatedly noted, the goal of the regime is to bring international forces to Gaza, as with Lebanon. And, as any thinking person knows; international “peacekeeping” forces lack total credibility based on past record. read more

Tzipi Livni as Olmert Replacement: Easily Most Inept FM

.

Commentary;

This piece by Caroline Glick should go alongside a collection of previous pieces by Glick and others regarding Livni’s abject incompetence in office.

Of course Livni is NOT the answer, nor is Bibi, nor are the whole stock of Israeli politicians styling and profiling across the scene today. Not only must Olmert, Livni, Barak and Ramon all go, but Israel’s entire governance must be deconstructed and reconstructed. And there is only one group capable of bring governance to Israel capable of ridding her of a current status as a Banana Republic and returning the Jewish nation to a status of a Jewish sovereign nation. That group is Manhigut Yehudit. MB read more

The Dissimilarity of Feiglin to Olmert and Barak

.
Caroline Glick, who has written so well about the imperative for political and governmental change in Israel, has a problem.

Her problem seems to be an inability to take a leap of faith, a leap towards emunah in Our Creator, the leap which she, herself, again and again and again in her previous writings deems essential, imperative to Israel’s continued security and well-being.

Time and again, Ms. Glick regales us with prose like this;

Rather than direct our attention at Olmert, Israelis must turn our attention to his enablers. Yisrael Beiteinu head and Minister of Non-Existent Strategy Avigdor Lieberman and his buddy, Shas leader and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Something or Other Eli Yishai, as well as Shas’s religious leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef should become the objects of public pressure. They must be made to understand that if they desire a political future of any kind, they must abandon Olmert and allow the nation to elect a new government. read more

Winograd Committee: Deliberately Covered Over of Ideological and Cognitive Failure of Regime, Israeli Establishment Leading to Lebanon Outcome

Column One, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“The report’s concentration on the personal failures of the three men serves mainly to strengthen the Left’s push to place all the blame for the war’s dismal outcome on the personal incompetence of Israel’s leaders. This it does by deliberately ignoring the ideological and cognitive failure of the government and the Israeli establishment as a whole. It was this failure that led to the war and to its dismal outcome.” read more

A Commission Born in Sin: Olmert’s Handpicked Committee

Our World: What Commissions Cannot Do, by Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Ma’ariv reported protocols of cabinet meetings in the weeks which preceded the 2000 withdrawal where then IDF chief of staff Shaul Mofaz and then IDF OC Northern Command Gabi Ashkenazi begged Barak not to go through with the withdrawal precisely because the Hezbollah buildup and aggression were so predictable.”

Related report: Summary of the Winograd Committee Interim Report

Excerpts;

When thousands of IDF reservists were released from service at the end of last summer’s war they were angry and demanded an accounting from the Olmert-Livni-Peretz government and from the IDF’s General Staff. The reservists rightly felt that they and the country had been betrayed by failed political and military leaders who chose the wrong strategy, prosecuted it incompetently, and led the IDF and the nation to an ignominious defeat that could have been a victory if they had been less incompetent, arrogant and foolish. read more
