Why a 'prisoner release' now? :: Israel Matzav(Israel Matzav)

Israel Matzav — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:39:48 GMT

On Sunday, the Olmert-Barak-Livni-Yishai cabinet approved the release of 199 'Palestinian' prisoners terrorists from Israeli jails as a 'gesture' to 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen. In doing so, the government crossed a new line even beyond the line it crossed in releasing Lebanese murderer Samir al-Kuntar. When Kuntar was released, the government could pretend it had

Daily Kos tries to have a civilized discussion about Israel(noreply@blogger.com (Carl in Jerusalem))

Monday, August 11, 2008Daily Kos tries to have a civilized discussion about Israel It was a noble effort to have a about the 'Israel/Palestine question' on one of the blogosphere's most left-leaning blogs. So here is my experiment: Let's use this diary to see if we can have a discussion in which we listen to each other's voices and actually try to achieve some perspective. If you feel you cannot do this, please don't post a comment, or maybe one to excuse yourself from the discussion. Call it a dare if you like; I think it is worth trying. If we can do this, maybe there is hope for peace.And the denizens of Daily Kos voted with their feet - or rather with their keyboards. At this writing, more than nine hours after the thread was posted, there are a grand total of eleven comments (which is nothing for a blog of Kos' size), of which four might be described as substantive.Not much hope for 'peace,' is there?Previously at Israel Matzav: 0 Comments:Links to this post: <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$>About MeName: Carl in Jerusalem Location: Jerusalem, Israel I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.'

Israel to release more palestinian prisoners(Anne Lieberman)

Anne Lieberman — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 12:25:08 GMT

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's cabinet on Sunday approved the release of five Palestinian prisoners as part of a swap deal with the Lebanese Hezbollah guerrilla group that brought the bodies of two Israeli soldiers home. Could this be the promised "gesture" to Ban Ki-Moon? Meanwhile, the Israel Matzav (situation) has Iran laughing all the way to the bank: Recall that on Friday I reported that the eventually resigning Olmert 'government' believes that it is close to a deal with Syria, and that it must be wrong because Bashar Al-Assad was due to travel to Tehran next Saturday (August 9). When...

How Hamas is spending its summer vacation - Part 3 :: Israel Matzav(Israel Matzav)

Israel Matzav — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 05:50:32 GMT

I don't know how things are in your part of the world, but finding summer camps for your kids really stretches the budget here. For starters, we pay school tuition twelve months out of the year (so that we don't feel how expensive it really is all year long), which means that paying for camp during the summer months means paying two sets of tuition. And try finding a summer camp that actually

On August 14, 2006, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson interviewed on Azzam Tamimi, director of the Institute of Islamic Political Thought and a senior member of the Muslim Association of Britain. In the interview, which you are about to watch, Tamimi claims that the plot to blow up trans-Atlantic flights using liquid explosives, which had just been uncovered at the time, was a hoax, and even if it wasn't,

Abu Mazen the terror fighter :: Israel Matzav(Israel Matzav)

Israel Matzav — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:59:57 GMT

'Moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen has been in Damascus this week, where he met with the leaders of all of the 'radical Palestinian' groups - except for Hamas. Abu Mazen was warned that a meeting with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal could cost him $7.4 billion. But it's 'okay' in the eyes of the Bush administration for him to meet with the other groups with whom he shares the

A police commander admitted to the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Sunday that he gave the order to brutally remove two members of Knesset - Effie Eitam (pictured at the protest) and Arye Eldad - from a protest against the demolition of the Jewish neighborhood of Amona in the Samarian town of Ofra in January 2006 (Hat Tip: IMRA).

A new Iranian documentary film called 'Assassination of a Pharaoh' glorifies the assassins of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and calls him a traitor for - surprise - signing a peace treaty with Israel. The Sadat family is outraged. Recently screened on the sidelines of a festival organized by the Committee for Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement in Iran, the film has generated

Shavua Tov, a good week to everyone.Last Sunday, I reported that UN 'Human Rights Commissioner' Louise Arbour has announced her resignation. At the time I quipped that her successor could not possibly be worse for reasons I listed in my post. Now, the Israeli government is concerned that her successor actually could be worse. Two candidates in particular are worrisome from Israel's standpoint -
