Olmert’s Ongoing Flip-Flop on Demographics

.

Commentary;

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has often claimed in recent years, citing and cleaving to P.A. (sic) demographics data, that Israel must hand over lands to the Arabs out of fear that the Arabs will essentially destroy Israel by out-numbering the Jews. These claims have again and again been been found irrefutably overstated by at least 1.5 million by evidence presented by demographics experts Bennett Zimmerman, Roberta Seid, Michael Weiss and Yoram Ettinger.

But, in doing a search of YouTube videos looking for different information, this author stumbled upon this Nightline interview which took place over 20 years ago with both then MK Ehud Olmert and Rabbi Meir Kahane, z’l. In that interview, Ehud Olmert attempts to refute Rabbi Kahane by saying that the chances of the Arabs outnumbering the Jews is remote. read more

Mis-Leading, by Atty. Elyakim Haetzni (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

Why would a captain willfully run a ship aground?

The American-Israel Strategic Planning Group, with leading members such as Bennett Zimmerman and Yoram Ettinger, has again publicized data contradicting the chilling picture that serves as the Left’s rationalization of and excuse for the policy of withdrawals. In general, the picture is exactly the opposite of everything we assumed. There is a sharp decline in Arab birthrates and a constant rise in Jewish birthrates. read more

Regime’s Use of Bogus Demographics Stats Jeopardizes Us All — The Regime ‘Old Boys’ Must ALL Go!

Column One: Where Israel Went Astray, By Caroline Glick (Jerusalem Post)

“Livni convinced Rice that it is necessary to provide a ‘political horizon’ to convince the Palestinians to replace Hamas with Fatah. After the Palestinians overthrow Hamas, he explained, it will be possible to implement the agreement and handover Judea and Samaria to Fatah (and Hamas).

That is, the Israeli government is pushing a national strategy that is based on a total lie. While Abbas plans his visit this weekend with Hamas terror master Khaled Mashaal in Syria in the hopes of facilitating the formation of an Iranian-Syrian sponsored Fatah-Hamas unity government, the Israeli government wishes to ‘strengthen’ him.” read more

Demographobia, by Yoram Ettinger

For context, click on the various posts shown here.

Excerpts;

Again and again Olmert says that giving up geography is the only way to safeguard Jewish demography.

… He’s inspired to pullout because of demographics. But he’s using greatly exaggerated numbers provided by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics back in 1998. Israel accepted these numbers without benefit of any demographic, media or diplomatic research into their veracity, and they have since become the cornerstone of an intense campaign that has penetrated deep in to the consciousness of Israel’s policy makers and public. read more

I Give Up on Israel, by Joseph Farah

Excerpts;

I am through defending Israel – at least the regime currently in power in Jerusalem, this useless coalition seemingly hell-bent on committing national suicide.

Next week, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, a man I once considered, like his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, a reasonable, rational, level-headed defender of his country, is set to visit Washington with his hand out.

He is asking for an initial commitment of up to $10 billion in direct U.S. aid to implement his plan for national retreat, appeasement of the global jihad and a new sellout of more than 200,000 Israeli civilians who have made their homes in historically Jewish lands in Judea and Samaria at the behest and recommendation of earlier Israeli governments. read more

Excerpts;

Haim Ramon called. He really didn’t like the op-ed in which I severely criticized the Olmert plan. He was surprised – he thought we were on the same wavelength. He thought I understood that Yossi Beilin and Benjamin Netanyahu were wrong. And, of course, he didn’t agree with a single word in the piece. But perhaps it would be right to hold a serious debate on the pages of Haaretz. Perhaps it would be right to present each arguments, ahead of the elections, to the voting readers. read more

Likud Leaders Speak Out Against ‘Enemies’

Excerpts;

The Likud set out to defeat its enemies in the last week before the March 28 election, identifying them as the Hamas leadership in the Palestinian Authority, polls predicting the party’s electoral defeat and an antagonistic press.

Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu and other Likud leaders spoke out against each of the three foes on Sunday night at a wedding hall filled with hundreds of activists in Beersheba. Party strategists said they believed that the messages against Hamas, the polls and the press would be enough to a salvage a few more mandates, the party’s reputation and perhaps even Netanyahu’s job. read more
