It is, however, immoral to impose values or exclude strangers from a huge country like Germany, and even there it would have been tolerable if Germans ...

NY businessman linked to probe of Ehud Olmert
2008-05-07 13:05:00 A New York-area businessman and philanthropist has emerged as a key figure in an Israeli investigation into financial dealings of Ehud Olmert that have cast a new cloud over the embattled prime minister. Morris "Moshe" Talansky of Woodmere, Long Island, was questioned by police in Israel about reported payments he made to Olmert in the 1990s, when the prime minister served as Jerusalem's mayor, according to the New York Post, which first reported the story Tuesday. The investigation, which emerged last week, threatens to embarrass Olmert as the country marks its 60th anniversary of independence on Thursday. Dozens of world leaders, including President Bush, are scheduled to join celebrations next week. An Israeli court has barred publication of most details of the case. A court statement Tuesday said police and prosecutors have submitted a request "to take testimony from a foreign resident." It did not identify the witness. ~ more... ~

Two-state dreamers - If one state is impossible, why is Olmert so afraid of
2008-03-14 05:58:00 by Jonathan Cook in Nazareth If the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s most intractable, much the same can be said of the parallel debate about whether its resolution can best be achieved by a single state embracing the two peoples living there or by a division of the land into two separate states, one for Jews and the other for Palestinans. The central argument of the two-staters is that the one-state idea is impractical and therefore worthless of consideration. Their rallying cry is that it is at least possible to imagine a consensus emerging behind two states, whereas Israelis will never accept a single state. The one-state crowd are painted as inveterate dreamers and time-wasters. That is the argument advanced by Israel’s only serious peace group, Gush Shalom. Here is the view of the group‘s indefatiguable leader, Uri Avnery: “After 120 years of conflict, after a fifth generation was born into this conflict on both sides, to move from total war to total peace ...

On the other hand, John McCain is supposed to visit Israel in 2 weeks, and I think he should visit Mercaz Harav in a show of solidarity, which would be a most positive sign.

"Mr. Olmert, Tear Down This Wall!"
2008-02-11 16:16:00 The terrorist attack in Dimona last week raised once more the discussion of the wall and its necessity along (mutatis mutandi) the Green Line. At first, it was claimed that the terrorist infiltrated Israel following the fall of the wall in Gaza strip. This was quite implausible, considering that the wall that was bombed was between Gaza and Egypt. Even if terrorists had used it to cross to the Egyptian side, they would still have to cross to cross back to Israel, and to make their way from the Israeli-Egyptian border to Dimona. Soon enough, it was found that the terrorists came for the Hebron region, a much more plausible scenario.Shortly after it was found that they came from Hebron, and voices were raised concerning the incompletion of the wall in that area. This was sheer absurdity. The newspapers are going to accept any theory, as long as they can attach to it a lesson concerning the necessity of the wall. So they tried tying it to the break in the wall in Egypt, and since that ...

Olmert says peace talks will tackle Jerusalem later
2008-01-29 09:00:00 JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, keen to shore up his fractious coalition, suggested on Monday that the divisive issue of Jerusalem would not be tackled early in U.S.-backed peace talks with the Palestinians. Olmert, who could face new calls to resign this week when an inquiry into the 2006 Lebanon war issues a final report, launched peace talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in November. Negotiating teams have met twice so far. A spokesman for Olmert's Kadima party quoted the prime minister as saying negotiators would tackle less sensitive subjects before discussing the fate of Jerusalem -- revered as holy by both Jews and Muslims. "The negotiations with the Palestinians will deal with all issues. That doesn't mean that it will deal with all issues at once and with the same intensity," Kadima spokesman Shmuel Dahan quoted Olmert as saying after the party's weekly meeting. "The issue of Jerusalem is very sensitive and in this ...

Abbas to press Olmert to end Gaza blockade
2008-01-26 13:43:00 By Wafa Amr RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will ask Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to end a blockade in Gaza and accept his offer to control Gaza's border crossings, Palestinian officials said on Saturday. The two leaders are expected to meet on Sunday to discuss how to push forward with peace talks after Hamas breached Gaza's border with Egypt in defiance of an Israeli blockade. Israel and the Palestinians launched their most serious peace talks in seven years at a U.S.-sponsored conference in November with the goal of signing a peace treaty in 2008. Thousands of Palestinians poured into Egypt this week to stock up on food and fuel in short supply after Israel closed its borders with the Hamas-controlled territory in what it said was a bid to end cross-border rocket fire into southern Israel. The fall of the border wall punched a new hole in a U.S.-backed campaign to curb the clout of Hamas and strengthen Abbas, nearly eight months af...
