Peace Now's Firm Principles and the New Nakba Day Caroline Glick writes: "This week on the Tribal Update, the television-on-Internet satire program produced by Latma, the Hebrew-language media satire website I founded we feature Peace Now's executive director Yariv Googleheimer discussing the principles guiding the movement as it demands the destruction of the home of the family of a fallen IDF major. We also feature a commemoration of the German Naqba. Enjoy! "

You know, this one reminds me of a game show. I am talking about those times when the contestant should keep their 100 thousand dollars and go home, but he decides to try to double the money just one more time--even though the entire audience is screaming "don't be an ass !" When this guy opens up whats behind door number 3 on national television and it turns out he traded 100 grand for 12 dollars and a stick of bazooka Joe, he looks like the biggest ass that ever lived, the only redeeming feature is the confused look of...

JERUSALEM (AFP) — Israeli historian Zeev Sternhell, known for his criticism of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, was wounded when a pipe bomb exploded at his home on Thursday, police said. Sternhell suffered light injuries to his right leg when the bomb exploded as he was trying to close the door to his house and was hospitalised in Jerusalem. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said an investigation was underway and that police searching for evidence found fliers in nearby streets calling for the killing of left-wing activists. "We found fliers offering a reward of 1.1 million shekels (320,000 dollars,...

For thirty years, the leftist Israeli organization Peace Now has been promoting the thesis that sufficient Israeli concessions would win the Jewish state peace from its Arab neighbors and that Israel’s refusal to make the needed concessions, primarily dismantling the settlements and returning to its pre-1967 armistice lines, are the main obstacle to that desired denouement. Peace Now has been arguing this line both at home and around the world and has attracted fervent overseas followers and media kudos for its stance.

Peace Now finds that 73% of Israelis - including Arabs - have not visited Jewish Yesha in five years, and has therefore begun to organize trips. Meanwhile, three left-wing MKs were praised by European Union leaders for their proposal to move all Jews out of Judea and Samaria (see below). The radical left-wing Peace Now organization claims it has found that 73% of Israelis - including Arabs - have not visited Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) in the past five years. To rectify this, and to promote the cause of separating Jews from their Biblical homeland areas of...

This Friday marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Menachem Begin. He died of a broken heart on March 9, 1992, vilified as a warmonger by the Left and cast off by right-wing purists after he traded the Sinai Peninsula in exchange for a peace treaty with Egypt in 1979. The purists also berated Begin for his 1978 Camp David offer of five years of limited self-government to the Palestinian Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, to be followed by final-status negotiations between Israel and a Jordanian-Palestinian negotiating team - a proposal the Arabs rejected. Begin would have been...

Tourism minister who carries firearm, holds racist views fitting for current-day Israel Yariv Oppenheimer Published: 02.26.07, 17:47 / Israel Opinion It is difficult to ignore the bad taste associated with the appointment of Esterina Tartman to the post of Israel's tourism minister. This representative post, whose objective is to advance tourism and Israel's image in the world, is being awarded, of all people, to Knesset Member Tartman, who holds racist views that justify the occupation and back the expulsion of Arab Israelis from the country. The State of Israel , which in wake of the regional conflict and violence has...

Expansion of Gush Etzion continues unabated; Arabs pay price Once every few hours in recent days, Army Radio has been broadcasting commercials calling on Israeli citizens to visit the Gush Etzion area during the Sukkoth holiday to enjoy the various festivities being held there, such as treading grapes, a kite festival and jeep safaris. And all this, the commercial says, is just 55 minutes from Tel Aviv and 15 minutes from Jerusalem. During these pleasure tours over the holidays, participants will get a chance to see to what extent settlements and outposts have expanded (some illegally) in recent years. What...

I wouldn't have joined last weekend's demonstration in Tel Aviv against Israel's war in Lebanon, because I think this war was forced on us. If Hizbullah had been allowed to kidnap two IDF soldiers and kill eight others without being made to pay a wholly "disproportionate" price, if the IDF had settled for a tit-for-tat response, then Hizbullah would feel free to attack again anytime, and the security and well-being of northern Israel would be at Hassan Nasrallah's mercy. But if Israel is still fighting in Lebanon after another week, then I'm going to be looking for an antiwar protest...

Whole Land of Israel question debate between Zionist realists, post-Zionist dreamers If we stick to the idea of the complete Land of Israel, we will soon be left with no State of Israel, and if we are left with no State of Israel, we will be left with no Land of Israel. In the best case scenario, we will become beholden to the good graces of a Palestinian state that will include the Whole Land of Israel. That's the whole story. It is also the reason that Ariel Sjharon changed his mind, and Ehud Olmert changed his mind, as did...

Settler leader Adi Mintz sent an apology letter Thursday to US Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer explaining that he regretted calling him a yehudon (little Jewboy) in an interview he gave to the Shas movement newsletter From Day to Day. "I wrote a letter in which I told him that I didn't mean to insult him personally," said Mintz, who is the director-general for the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip. He added that he had not meant to hurt Kurtzer. Mintz told The Jerusalem Post the use of the word yehudon was also unfortunate in that...
