Ehud Flavius December 8, 2003 Do you have any idea what Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Hamas leader Shech Ahmed Yassin have in common?  A couple of days ago Yassin stated that “a two state solution will never work,” because all of Eretz Yisrael, the State of Israel, is occupied Arab land, and of course, armed resistance will continue […]

No More Sellouts December 2, 2003 Shalom. Last week I participated in the “Jewish Leadership” Conference in Jerusalem, led by Moshe Feiglin and Co. Feiglin, whose activities a decade ago with Zu Artzenu led to a conviction for ‘sedition’ because he, together with Shmuel Sackett, organized mass protests to the Oslo Accords, continues his admirable work. The hall in Biyanei […]

A Blue & White FlagNov. 25, 2003 Withdrawal is surrender, and surrender we will not. Our flag is blue and white, and that blue makes all the difference in the world. Abandonment and transfer of Jews from Yesha is tantamount to the removal of the blue from our flag. From David Wilder I planned on writing today about one of the most […]

The Real Consensus November 3, 2003 When I opened up the word processor this morning I hadn’t decided whether to write about the battle over Netzarim or the new European survey which determined that Israel tops the list: Israel is the greatest danger to world peace. Then I opened the newspaper – not generally a good way to start the […]

Who’s Guilty October 27, 2003 On this morning’s news someone, I don’t remember who, one of the left wing politicians, definitively claimed that there are too many soldiers guarding too few people in Netzarim. I agree. Early Friday morning terrorists managed to infiltrate an army base just outside the Netzarim community in Gaza. Three soldiers were killed before one of […]

The Voice of Sanity October 20, 2003 There are a multitude of subjects to write about: Three soldiers shot down in cold blood last night; tens of thousands visiting Hebron during the Succot holidays; the “Geneva Accords.” But today I think there is one subject which tops the list. Yesterday the Israeli cabinet, voting 11 to 5, refused to append […]

Free Federman Erev Yom Kippur October 5, 2003 Yesterday, at about 2:15 in the afternoon, a twenty-nine year old female lawyer walked into the Maxim restaurant in Haifa with about ten kilo of explosives strapped onto her body. When she detonated herself, nineteen people were killed and over 60 injured. Among those murdered were five members of the Zar-aviv family […]

Person of the Year September 29, 2003 The Jewish New Year, Rosh HaShana, is marked quite differently from January first. Whereas the latter is celebrated in Times Square, at gala parties, and the like, most of Rosh HaShana is spend in the synagogue. According to the Jewish calendar, a new ‘day’ begins at sunset, and so it is that we […]

Help Him Hear Shofar in IsraelSeptember 18, 2003 [T]here is one shavui, a captive, who is not in the hands of the Syrians, the Hizballah, or any other Arab country, for that matter. He has been held by Israel’s ‘best friend.’ And he has been rotting in an American federal penitentiary for over eighteen-and-a-half years. From David Wilder Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, better […]

Not Now, Not Ever August 18, 2003 Shalom. Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with a correspondent who spent a couple of hours with me in Hebron. We sat for a while in my office, indulging in the usual question and answer period, while centering on several points which were of prime concern to this particular journalist. Later I […]
