Tzipi = Golda...Don't Bet On It!

Blogmaster's comment: It is always easy to criticize politicians, particularly if they are vulnerable. Tzipi Livni is a career politician but one who comes from impressive roots. Give her an opportunity to prove to us that her first priority will be the Land and the People of Israel. All of the pundits are saying that she will give away Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and will follow the destructive and divisive policies of Olmert. I believe that this woman has the intestinal fortitude to be a strong leader. I have no doubt that Livni knows what is required. Livini has the abilities necessary to be a hard line negotiator. Livini has what it takes to stand up for Israel. Let us see if she has the political courage to do it!

Golda She is NOT!

by Steven Shamrak, Australia

Some sensation-seeking media outlets called the new leader of the Kadima party, Tzipi Livni, who favours a quick peace deal with the 'Palestinians', the new Golda Meir. Her 'transformations' and 'adaptations' brought her a meteoric rise in Kadima: from her pedigree as the daughter of nationalist militants in the anti-British Irgun underground movement to the hard-right politics of the Likud Party, and now to the point where she eagerly tries to seal a fake peace deal with our enemies. Some would call this career pass a typical example of a "Political prostitute"! (term was invented by V.I. Lenin)

At Livni's request, Kadima's central elections committee extended the polls by 30 minutes, despite Mofaz's protests. Moti Morel, a strategic advisor to Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz, said: "if Livni wins tonight, then Miss Clean will have to live with the eternal stain of having stolen an election with extra time… You can't change the rules of the game in the middle of the game."

A senior Fatah-PA source said that "it is no secret that working with Livni will be much easier". The PA source estimated that if Mofaz were elected he would have tried to create a coalition with Shas and the Zionist parties, whereas "Livni understands that the solution to the situation is a quick diplomatic agreement with us" and she is a willing participant in the 'game'!

MK Shelly Yechimovich (Labor) said that Tzipi Livni should call elections instead of trying to form a coalition in the present Knesset. Speaking at a Rosh HaShanah Likud function, MK Gideon Saar said: "A prime minister must be elected by the entire nation."

Note: The Kadima party was formed in November 2005 to accommodate the political ambitions of 'politically adaptable' and self-serving Israeli politicians from several parties.

Food for Thought. by Steven Shamrak

We live in a strange times: when rabbis failed to provide spiritual and moral guidance for fear of offending members of synagogue committees and congregants; when communities are stagnating and disappearing under the weight of political correctness and the fake notion of plurality; when assimilation dominates and destroys our uniqueness; when political leadership does not lead, but betrays Jewish inspirations of Jewish people and cares more about photo opportunities, acceptance by others and their pockets. But, we are still alive and fighting back!

Kadima's Plan to Destroy Israel. Referring to his draft law on compensation for settlers who volunteer to evacuate the West Bank, Vice PM Haim Ramon said that everything located to the east of the security barrier will no longer be under Israeli sovereignty. Ramon said that the draft law will be submitted to the government for approval in several weeks. The law proposes giving 1.1 million shekels (or about $300,000) to families opting to leave the West Bank voluntarily. They will get a bonus of 25% if they settle in the Negev Desert region, and 15% if they go to the Galilee region in the north. (It would be cheaper and more effective in the fight against terror to facilitate the move of the enemy population to Sinai!)

Stupidity of Democratic Pluralism. The Vice Presidential candidate on Republican ticket has been dropped from the list of dignitaries that are to speak at a key rally in New York on Monday. Bowing to threats from Jewish Democratic groups, the organizers decided to withdraw her invitation days after Senator Hillary Clinton cancelled her own participation in the rally.

Organizers are calling for the U.N. to hold Iran's president accountable for his calls to "wipe Israel off the map," which they say is an incitement to genocide and thus a clear violation of the U.N.'s Charter. The organizers also invited Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden, who has reportedly told Israeli officials that they "will just have to accept a nuclear armed Iran." Biden will not be attending the event. (Mr Biden, why USA unable to accept al-Qaida?)

Jewish Political Prisoners in Israel. Ofer Gamliel, who was convicted of membership in a Jewish underground group that planned attacks on Arabs, began a hunger strike last Tuesday. Gamliel has been in prison for over six years. He and other Jewish security prisoners have not been granted the privileges given other prisoners.

Emotional Blackmail. According to Salah al-Bardawil, a Hamas deputy, the Hamas will not discuss the release of soldier Gilad Shalit before the re-opening of the crossing terminal at Rafah with Egypt. (Hamas is using Shalit for emotional blackmail, in order to hold Israel's military actions in Gaza and assure continuation of arms smuggling. There is no honesty in the negotiations for Shalit's freedom on Hamas part! The Kadima party allows this travesty and negotiates with Hamas without receiving any "proof of life"!)

Quote of the Week:

''Our goal is not democracy. 'Our goal is stability.'' - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad – The Arab/Muslim leadership is able to produce dictatorship only. They achieve "Stability" by diverting people's anger from internal issues against Israel and "Infidels"!

Walking Path of Self-Destruction. Israel has agreed to accept 20,000 Arab 'refugees' who abandoned their homes and fled Israel during the 1948 war, according to a report published Saturday in a Qatari newspaper. (The 'refugees' left in order to facilitate the slaughter of Jews by advancing Arab armies. Now they want to come to Israel to facilitate the demographic destruction of Israel!)

Fraudulent anti-Israel Campaigners. Lauren Booth, sister-in-law of Quartet Middle East envoy Tony Blair, has been photographed buying Snickers candy bars and soft drinks in a well-stocked food store in Gaza. She has called the region a "concentration camp" that is "under siege" by Israel's having restricted crossings due to continuing terrorist attacks against Israel.

What is this Withdrawal for?
by Steven Shamrak.

(This article I wrote a few months before 8,500 Jews were forcefully deported from Gaza by their own government, lead by Kadima party!)

In order to achieve any goal it is necessary to have one in the first place! Any minute act in our life is preceded by intention in order to realize a goal. What is the goal of the withdrawal from Gaza? It would be reasonable to assume that the objective is Peace! But we have not heard of any negotiations with Palestinian Authorities. There is not even a pledge of a Hudna, the Arab's promise of tactical ceasefire.

Since the withdrawal plan was announced we have witnessed the escalation of demands made by the PA and an increase of terror acts. We are led to believe that the evacuation of 8,500 Jews from Gaza will 'reduce' Arab terrorism, will save money and Jewish lives. Let's examine these justifications closely:

1. Withdrawal will reduce terror acts committed by Arab Palestinians. – Unfortunately, most reputable political, intelligence and military experts and analysts, including the Israeli government ones from Shin Beth and IDF, predict the increase of terrorism and anarchy in Gaza after withdrawal.

2. It will save Jewish lives. – The uncontrollable supply of weapons through the border with Egypt and flow of deadly cargo through the proposed Gaza port will bring a more deadly and sophisticated arsenal into the hands of Arab terrorists. There will be rocket-propelled grenades, artillery, Katushas and high-grade explosives for suicide belts.

3. It will save money. – Israel is already wasting millions on additional security and construction of new security roads. Just new fence upgrades will cost up to $220 million dollars. Plus: compensation to those who have been stripped of their property and businesses; the loss of revenue from border taxes; the loss of $100 million dollars generated by economy of 21 Jewish communities.

What are the negative issues that the withdrawal brings?

1. The withdrawal will create the precedent of an ethnic cleansing of Jews by Jews and abandonment of Jewish ancestral land.

2. It is the public relations disaster, which creates the shocking image of Israel.
3. It has already been undermining Jewish national unity.

4. It is encouraging the enemies of the Jewish people, not only Arabs, to persist with their anti-Israel campaign, aiming for the destruction or weakening of the Jewish state.

5. It is possible that the deportation of Jews from Gaza contradicts the Fourth Geneva convention and can be qualified as a crime against humanity.

6. Deployment of the Egyptian army at the border with Gaza puts in danger the demilitarization of Sinai agreed in Camp David.

History teaches us that when Jews give something up it is almost impossible to get it back! It took us 2,000 years to come back to Palestine. But still we are not allowed to be in charge of our land!

Some are trying to justify withdrawal by saying that it is the first step toward the two states on one land solution. But even they realize the impossibility of the idea of life next to Arabs without checkpoints.

Let us be generous and assume that it will work. It does not explain the questions: Why is it necessary to transfer Jews from "Arab controlled" land? At the same time, why should Arabs remain on "Jewish controlled land"? The withdrawal contradicts and undermines the idyllic picture of happy co-existence of two nations - Arabs and Jews – who are living in harmony and love, next to each other!

I do want peace in Israel, but with all my vivid imagination I am not able to visualize it while Arab hate dwells inside the Jewish state. By repeating the same acts one will get the same results. Why would the same misguided and impotent plans bring peace to Israel? The question still remains: What are we sacrificing the Jewish national dream, Jewish unity and Jewish lives for?
