Barak's briefing / Timing his political entrance
By Amir Oren - Haaretz 31 December 2008
www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1051360.html
Almost every war of the last four decades has resulted in the ouster of a
defense minister. Levi Eshkol lost the defense portfolio on the eve of the
Six-Day War, Moshe Dayan after the Yom Kippur War, Ariel Sharon after the
First Lebanon War, Amir Peretz after the Second Lebanon War. Current defense
minister Ehud Barak, whose performance during the first days of Operation
Cast Lead increased his public support, spoiled his image yesterday with his
very own words. His ambiguous statements, from behind the transparent veil
of an "off-the-record conversation," once again lowered him from the rank of
commander to that of politician.
Barak, at a meeting with his aides and half a dozen guests, said things that
were meant for publication, but not for attribution. The result was
miserable, in terms of both content and form. He confused the public just
when the aims of the operation seemed crystal clear and enjoyed broad
support.
He did not explain the connection between the stable, long-term cease-fire
whose achievement - and nothing else - would justify ending the operation,
and a limited cease-fire called solely to enable negotiations on the larger
cease-fire. The opposition he aroused from his colleagues in the government
and senior defense officials managed to put the weaknesses of the group that
will decide the operation's future at the top of the agenda.

Accommodating radical Islam From Islamabad to Bradford
Mark Steyn
'It is hard to understand this deal," said Richard Holbrooke, President
Obama's special envoy. And, if the special envoy of the so-called smartest

what chance do the rest of us have?

The Normalization Of Murder, Genocide And Terrorism
Herb Denenberg
Perhaps the most serious and most dangerous problem we face is the
normalization of evil. That's the title of an essay published on Feb. 3,
2009 in the Wall Street Journal by Judea Pearl, father of Daniel Pearl, the
38-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter who was beheaded by Islamofascist
terrorists in Pakistan.

The Middle East appeasement process
Melanie Phillips
The evidence mounts up that, as predicted, with the accession of Obama to the White House the forces of darkness are hugely buoyed by the new dawn of appeasement. Hamas, which broke its ‘cease-fire’ again yesterday by blowing up an Israeli patrol and killing a soldier, certainly thinks it’s winning...

Obsessive or obtuse?
Martin Sherman
Just when we thought that there was a limit to the intellectual dishonesty of Israel's bon-ton elite, along comes Yair Lapid to prove otherwise. In his latest article, Stop blaming disengagement, he endeavors somehow to reinstate the lost honor of the "Disengagement."

The Demons of Gaza
Ralph Peters - The New York Post
Israel hasn't killed a single civilian in the Gaza Strip. Over a hundred civilians have died, and Israeli bombs or shells may have ended their lives. But Israel didn't kill them.
Hamas did.
It's time to smash the lies. The lies of Hamas. The UN lies. And the save-the-terrorists lies of the global media.

For all our readers who want the raw documents of Israeli history, including documents since the Oslo agreements.
While hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers and thousands were killed, and hundreds of thousands of American lives were destroyed within minutes, Palestinian Arabs came out in multitudes - to celebrate "this great vicotory". Take a look and decide for yourselves: are these people worthy of our support?

Spare the Pieties on Gaza
Jack Engelhard
Frankly, given a choice, I prefer the skinheads and other brutes who express their anti-Semitism openly. In such places, we know the enemy.
But please spare me the pieties and the righteous indignation of those "good people" protesting throughout Europe against Israel’’s defensive operation in Gaza...

Israel's Strategic Incompetence in Gaza
Daniel Pipes
Commentary on the Israel-Hamas war has tended toward partisan pleading, making the moral case for or against Israel. That's a crucial debate but not the only one; there's also a need for a cool strategic assessment; who is winning, who is losing?
