Olmert: “We Have No Intention of Capitulating to Blackmail”


Feigned Indignance?

Excerpt;

Prime Minister Olmert told the cabinet Sunday: “We and the international community know that Gilad [Shalit] is being held by a bloodthirsty gang of terrorists who are causing us much suffering but who are mainly hurting the Palestinian population, which is bearing the results of this terrorist activity….I have instructed the security establishment and the IDF to increase the strength of their actions in order to pursue these terrorists, those who dispatch them, their ideologues, and those who sponsor them. As I said, nobody will be exempt….We have no intention of capitulating to blackmail. Everyone knows that capitulating to terrorism today means inviting the next act of terrorism.

Islamic Hudna: What Irresponsible Israel Governing Mal-feasance May Wrought

moshe

.
Commentary;

As the main concerns of Ehud Olmert and his corrupt, self-aggrandizing cronies, including an entire cabinet, at least 117 members of Knesset and certain local city governments, seem to be;

  • 1/ Maintaining their own power and power-bases at all cost
  • 2/ Self-enrichment through any and all means of bribery, graft, corruption and strong-arming
  • 3/ Blind, mindless, hard-hearted efforts to render Israel Yudenrein,

the Arabs in Gaza have exploited the truce in order to attempt facilitation, Heaven-forbid, of a blood-bath reaching as far as Kiryat Gat and Ashdod (Beit Shemesh too???). The attitude of Israel’s corrupt governance, in its utter refusal to fight the Islamic foe to a victorious conclusion, is the governed be damned. read more

Israel’s Humiliation: Regime Tolerates Truce Violations for Shalit Talks

moshe

.
Commentary;

This is what happens when an Israeli government has a delusive, appeasing, supplicational, surrenderous mindset before it’s Islamic enemies who are sworn to her destruction. This is the result of governance which holds its governed hostage by tolerating Kassam and mortar barrages and by its freeing thousands of bloody-handed terrorists to kill more Jews, in exchange for Israeli captives; be they dead or alive. There are limits to Pidyon Sh’vuyim; national security, national defense and deterrence and Kiddush Hashem being but a few. MB read more

Why I Can’t Change My Facebook Picture to Shalit’s

moshe

.

Commentary;

Although I want to see kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit freed, back in Israel with his parents, relatives and friends, and pray for it on ever occasion, I have a real big problem with the proliferation of Shalit pictures being posted to profiles on Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites.

The problem I have is surely not with the act itself which I sincerely believe to be a genuine, sincere grassroots display of unity with and love for a a Jewish brother.

My problem is with the perception and message of these pictures alongside the Israeli government’s actions and mindset of appeasement, equivocation, lack of honor. read more
