Rockets Reach Ashkelon. Their Significance

ROCKETS REACH ASHKELON. THEIR SIGNIFICANCE 16225 – Shulman

NETANYAHU EXPLAINS WHY NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM

He said he would concentrate on building up the P.A. economy. He
thinks that would give the P.A. an incentive to make peace. He also
emphasized Jewish and Zionist values (IMRA, 11/21).

It is not a Jewish value to build up one’s enemies.

Motivated by religious hatred, Muslims find economics secondary.
Israel helped the economy of the western Palestinian Arabs, before,
but got no peace.

Netanyahu mentioned police reform. He omitted rescinding their rules
mandating harassment of Jews in the Territories and their brutality
towards right-wing Jews.

His platform is a good reason not to vote for him.

IRAN & THE BOMB

Iran plans to get more centrifuges. That would accelerate their
production of bomb-grade material. (One of their methods of producing
nuclear material is usable only for weapons, not for electricity. The
government of Iran claims that its nuclear program is peaceful, but
threatens to eradicate Israel.

President-elect Obama hopes that June’s election in Iran, would result
in a more moderate government (IMRA, 11/21).

Will Iran eradicate Israel with its “peaceful” nuclear development?
If peaceful, why does it produce material used only in weapons? What
could Obama possibly say to them that would persuade them to stop
their weapons drive?
As for Obama, while he waits for the next Iranian election, Iran could
have more bombs ready. Then, poof! Why is he anticipating a more
moderate government there? The government screens out most moderates
from candidacy. Their elections are anti-democratic. Besides, the
elected government does not control the military and the red guards.
The supposedly moderate Khatami was frustrated by his inability to
accomplish much. On the other hand, he approved of terrorism. The
problem with the West is mistaking extremists for moderates. Why
didn’t McCain show how foolish Obama’s notions are?

ROCKETS REACH ASHKELON

Rockets from Gaza have been striking Ashkelon, a major coastal city in
Israel (Arutz-7, 11/21). Jewish nationalists warned of this. Olmert
heeded not. Olmert the would-be peacemaker is presiding over the
widening of the war, but calls the patriots who would have protected
his people extremists.
