  • Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1
    Anti-Olmert Rally, Part 1 In the May 1 visit to Meretz USA of Meretz MK Avshalom (Abu) Vilan, he told us of imploring Gen. Uzi Dayan (the organizer of this past weekend’s oust- Olmert rally) to press the goal of Olmert’s resignation but not of a new election, for two reasons: 1. Frequent elections are making Israel’s government unstable; the last election was little more than a year ago. 2. More importantly, Netanyahu would be returned to power at the head of about 35 Likud MKs. Abu feels that it would be far better that Peres or Livni replace Olmert with a new Kadima-led coalition and that with Meretz’s support, embark upon new avenues toward peace, via the Saudis, the US, Abbas and the European Union. He personally trusts Peres more than Livni, feeling that Livni’s not experienced enough and that her right-wing Likud roots make her suspect. But I find Peres ultimately untrustworthy because of his habit as a political intriguer. Hence, I think that Livni might be better, but either one as PM would be a source of new hope. Below is an abbreviated description of last week’s oust-Olmert rally from the MideastWeb for Coexistence site, by one Joseph M. Hochstein of Tel Aviv: What made this demonstration different from others was the crowd’s diversity. Members of opposing political factions shared the square. Young men wearing National Religious knitted skullcaps prayed in groups alongside secular Tel Aviv residents. … The closest the audience came to a display of vocal unanimity was when Eliad Shraga, a reserve paratroop officer who heads the Movement for Quality Government, exhorted them to act as judge and jury and answer whether Olmert was guilty.

  • The Purpose of This Paper Is to Assess Various Unilateral Evacuation
    CONFIDENTIAL NOT FOR CIRCULATION MEMORANDUM TO: DR. SAEB ERAKAT FROM: NSU SETTLEMENTS FILE SUBJECT: PRE-PERMANENT STATUS SETTLEMENT EVACUATIONS (PART I): AN ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING PROPOSALS DATE: 30 APRIL 2006 The purpose of this paper is to assess various unilateral evacuation proposals put forth thus far, including Kadima’s “convergence” plan, and their implications for Palestinian interests. I. BACKGROUND Since the evacuation of some 8,500 Israeli settlers from Gaza and four small West Bank settlements as part of Sharon’s unilateral “disengagement” plan, there are growing indications that Israel may seek to carry out further settlement evacuations (as distinct from military withdrawals or redeployments) on a unilateral basis. While a negotiated settlement evacuation remains the preferred strategic option for Palestinians, the growing acceptability of Israeli unilateralism in Israel and abroad suggests that Palestinians may be forced to prepare for the possibility of further disengagement-type evacuations prior to (or instead of) permanent status negotiations, most likely in the context of a “state with provisional borders”. Many in Israel and elsewhere appear to view further unilateral settlement evacuations with increasing favor, particularly if Israeli and/or international confidence in the PA continues to wane. A recent poll shows that a slight majority of Israelis (51%) would favor further unilateral ‘disengagement-type’ evacuations by Israel in the event of the Palestinian leadership’s inability to negotiate or deliver a permanent status deal.1 Indeed, Israeli and international support for unilateralism may now be even higher following Hamas’s recent election victory. A number of unilateral evacuation proposals have already been put forward since the Gaza evacuation, by both the Israeli “left” and “center”.

In the yeshiva, the new year takes on a special meaning as the students and rabbanim prepare not only for the days of awe, but also for the entire learning calendar. The summer has passed and now is time to begin a new cycle of Torah learning. There is no better way to approach learning than hearing the wake up call of the shofar blast in Ellul and greeting the world and Yerushalayim refreshed and energized. íéìùå øé Äî äÈåÉäÀé ø ÇáÀãe ä ÈøÉåú à ÅöÅz ïÉåi ÄvÄî é Äk This summer, in addition to preparing for the arrival of our new talmidim , the faculty pulled its resources to send to all our friends and family divrei Torah from our Beit Midrash. With great pleasure we bring you Torah from Eretz HaTzvi. Eretz HaTzvi has two connotations for us here in the yeshiva – Eretz Yisrael and Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi and these Torah insights share both meanings. In this modest volume, you will find different styles and approaches to the meaning of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur representing many of the members of the yeshiva faculty.
