FIRST THINGS FIRST

There has to be a suicide crisis hotline for government ministers who wish to disassemble their own country to a hostile population. The lastest example has to be Ministers Livni and Peres joining Mr. Abbas for the formation of a two state soloution to the Israel PA conflict.
FM Livni compared the PA giving up terror to the expulsion from Gush Katif is as being hard choices for each side is nothing short of absurd.

Abandoning terror is not a hard choice it is expected.
The disengagement from Gaza and the subsequent treatment of the Jewish population speaks for itself as how an elected government breached the fundamental covenant between a people and their government.

Maybe the comparison is that both sides abandon policy as well as behavior that is contrary to the conduct of responsible governments

C'MON

Secretary Rice claimed Mr. Abbas gave his word that American weapons would not be used against Israel. This is the fellow who at a political rally called for Arabs stop raising arms against each other and oppose the occupation.

Does Dr. Rice think Mr. Abbas meant a mass letter writing and lobbying campaign to pressure Israel? One hopes someone so accomplished and powerful would not be easily fooled.

On the other hand the ideologically vacant Israeli government lacks the the fundamental self respect to recognize the State Exists evidence exists there was a Jewish presence in the land Mikvaoth (ritual baths), other items that conform to Jewish religious law and practice. The Modern state of Israel is the re-established state founded in the days of EZRA the Scribe.The Arab claim of being Canaanites does not survive the observation Jews came from Judea, Arabs should be called Canaanites, which they are not.

Even though it is a secular anthem HaTikvah expresses the Jewish yearning for the Land not just a slice but Zion and Jerusalem, Hevron, Tiveria, Zsfat, Aco, Bersheva Rosh HaNikra and Tel Aviv, you get the idea.

As new elections loom large it is time to push and push hard for Jewish Identity as the issue as this self image will dictate the direction of the State's future policy.

There is No One to Talk To !

Secretary Rice is currently visiting the Middle East. Dr. Rice is promoting the fabled Road Map as the only workable model for peace. Madame Secretary further assured that American controls would prevent the US arms transfered to Mr. Abbas would not be used against Israel.

A short reality check, a split government among the Arabs is on the verge of civil war.Neither Fatah or Hamas has clear cut control to give any agreement they might sign meaning futle from the outset, this should be painfully obvious to all but the diplomats and Ministers. This theatre of the absurd should offend any sober, saine and sensible individual observing the situation.

Additonally unless there are American personnel training the Arabs and keeping the weapons in their custody this assertion is shamelessly naive.

BEING SOMEBODY OR A NOBODY

Olmert’s behavior is hard to comprehend. The confused leadership during the Lebanon war. Supplying funds and arms to Mr. Abbas despite the continued captivity of Gilad Shalit and unabated Kassam attacks. While at the same time there seems to be an indifference bordering on contempt for the Israeli populace. Compensation and resettlement for the former Jewish residents of Gush Katiff and defense of Siderot are half hearted if at all. Why the overall impression Mr. Olmert is prepared to do whatever he can to receive approval from others even if contrary to national self interest?


Mr. Olmert is not stupid, he is an attorney, a former mayor of Jerusalem he is academically accomplished.

Mr. Olmert is not evil, Evil is not confused, evil is focused and committed to its convictions things Mr. Olmert is not.

Mr. Olmert does not appear to be motivated by Jewish values, what moves him?

Mr. Olmert is simply vacant, the absence of his own values is filled by a need for others’ acceptance. In other words, others’ define Mr. Olmert. Once others define oneself , one’s own identity is lost.
One needs values, one needs faith it is the difference between being someone or a nobody.
