Natan Sharansky: Why Sharon’s Disengagement Plan is “A Tragic Mistake”!!!
“I no longer feel that I can faithfully serve in a government whose central policy – indeed, it’s sole reason for existence – has become one to which I am so adamantly opposed”

Nathan Sharansky

Earlier this week Natan Sharansky, Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Jerusalem in Ariel Sharon’s Likud Israeli government, resigned…

Having opposed Sharon’s “disengagement”/expulsion plan from the start, he finally came to the conclusion that he could no longer be a part of the government executing the plan…

In his impassioned letter of resignation, Sharansky clearly articulates the reasons why it is folly to unilaterally make concessions to the palestinians without receiving anything in return…

Indeed, he saw US president Bush’s “dream” for the Middle East slipping away, in the absence of any demands for democratic reform in the palestinian society, not to mention no movement whatsoever to eliminate terror and incitement…

Marty Roberts shares this important document, along with the amazing story of ex-Prisoner of Zion, Natan Sharansky, on today’s show…

The book that so captured US president Bush that he invited its author, Sharansky, to a personal meeting in the White House…

The meeting with the busy leader of the Free World lasted more than an hour!!!!

Just about two weeks early, but hey, at least the kitchen is kosher!
President Bush has some words of wisdom for US Jewish educators…
And…The Persecution of Christians in America
Will the Jews (as usual) get the blame?
Why we should NOT…
Plus…Israeli tribe of savages in Colonial America and
travel warnings for Israelis

Chanukah in the White House

The US President has a few words for America’s Jews…

You keep your identity through Jewish education…

It’s not necessary to suppress the expression of other religions…

Just make sure that you pay attention to your own…

South African Judge Goldstone, author of the lie-filled condemnation of Israel’s self-defense war against Hmas in Gaza, has brought hypocrisy to new heights…

Judge Goldstone..People Who Live in Glass Houses..

And he’s also Jewish, no less…Talk about self-hating Jews…

This guy saw fit to fill an official UN report on the war in Gaza with lies, alleging Israel was guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, while overlooking the years of missile and rocket attacks against helpless Israeli civilians. Now, it comes out that Goldstone was an active participant in South Africa’s cruel and immoral apartheid regime…that he was personally responsible for sending at least 28 black defendants to their death by hanging.

Shame on you, Judge Goldstone. I was ashamed of you after your report came out, but now…I can hardly find the words…

Judge Goldstone’s dark past

Yedioth Ahronoth investigation reveals man preaching human rights, who authored scathing report against Israel’s operation in Gaza, sent at least 28 black defendants to gallows as South African judge under Apartheid regime

Reprinted from Ynetnews.com Tzadok Yehezkeli

He asserted that Israel committed war crimes and came out against the Israel Defense Forces, whom he claimed violated basic human rights. Judge Richard Goldstone forgot just one thing – to look long and hard in the mirror and to do some soul-searching before he rushes to criticize others.

A special Yedioth Ahronoth investigation reveals Richard Goldstone’s dark side as a judge during the Apartheid era in South Africa. It turns out, the man who authored the Goldstone Report criticizing the IDF’s actions during Operation Cast Lead took an active part in the racist policies of one of the cruelest regimes of the 20th century.

During his tenure as sitting as judge in the appellant court during the 1980s and 1990s sentenced dozens of blacks mercilessly to their death.

This stain on Goldstone’s past kept him from coming out against the death penalty on many occasions and from vehemently criticizing countries who still allow executions. Goldstone didn’t bother confessing and telling about his actions in any of his statements or speeches.

In spite of the economic meltdown taking place right now in Europe…In spite of the stock market collapse on Wall Street in the US yesterday…Israel’s little old economy keeps on tickin’…

Stanley Fischer..Israeli Economy is Strong

Conservative banking regulations and an innovative hi-tech sector…good old “Jewish Sachel”…an economically savvy leadership, headed by MIT economy-educated Benjamin Netanyahu, assisted by Bank of Israel’s Mega-financial brain, Stanley Fischer…A formula for a successful, growth economy that continues to prove itself year after year, even in the face of worldwide economic crises.

Yeah, Israel…

Fischer: EU crisis mildly impacts Israel

Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer said Wednesday that Israel was likely to weather the European economic crisis, and be only lightly affected by it

Reprinted from Jpost.com

Fischer told the Knesset’s Finance Committee that although the dramatic drop in the value of the Euro and the slowdown in the European economy would impact exports to Europe, those may be offset by improved exports to the US. However, if the crisis engulfs the US, which he deemed unlikely, it would be cause for major concern, said the BoI governor.

“Suddenly” the Greeks discovered “the economic data they had been using was wrong. Their deficit stood at 13 percent rather than five. Their fiscal policy was extremely irresponsible, their debt-to-GDP-ratio was 130%,” Fischer said. “Their economy was in deep crisis and they could no longer finance their over-generous budget.”

Fischer also gave his economic forecast for the year 2011, saying the central bank expected a growth rate of 4%, and was updating the forecast for 2010 to 3.7%.

He favorably compared Israel’s unemployment rate to that of the US, which rose from 5% to 10%. Israel’s unemployment rate was just under 6% and are now near 8%.

Speaking before Fischer, Knesset Finance Committee chairman Moshe Gafni opened the session by attacking the detractors of government support for Yeshivot because they are economically unproductive. Gafni said he would go through the budget item by item and see what outlays were economically productive. “Over 60% of the budget is uneconomical,” he told the committee.

“Was the Kibbutzim debt arrangement economical? Are the dramatic subsidies to agriculture? What about the settlements? I will even say the investment in development towns isn’t economically worthwhile.”

“This is an ideological issue,” Gafni said. “Zionism and civics classes are ideological. I’m all-out opposed to the view that only what is economically productive should be included in the budget. It should be taken off the public agenda.”

Gafni also spoke about the low employment rate among the ultra-orthodox, saying, “I have said and will say again it is not the haredim who do not want to go to work, it is the state that does not want them to work, it lies when it says it wants them to work.”
