German politician Thilo Sarrazin and the Israeli Interior Minister Eli Yishai both believe in 'Jewish genes,' but only Sarrazin is castigated for his belief.

What is the nature of the comment that is causing a stir in Germany? Here is a quote from Sarrazin's interview with the paper, Welt am Sonntag: "All Jews share a particular gene that makes them different from other peoples."
A Jewish gene? It is unbelievable that race theory continues to hold sway in Germany.
Now read the following pearl: "A convert, if he converts through the Orthodox, he has the Jewish gene. If he doesn't convert through the Orthodox, he doesn't have the Jewish gene. As simple as that." This quote is taken from an interview the interior minister of the Jewish State and the Shas party leader, Eli Yishai, gave to the editor of The Jerusalem Post, David Horovitz (August 8, 2010 ).
(...) Yishai, a member of the secret group of seven, refused on Sunday to say a thing about Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's comments about the Palestinian people. (...)

Tandis que le Président Barack Obama fait pression sur les Palestiniens pour qu’ils s’engagent dans des pourparlers directs pour la paix, et que le premier ministre israélien Bibi Netanyahu conseille de façon hautaine au président [de l’autorité palestinienne de Ramallah] Mahmoud Abbas de ne pas rater l’occasion, les démolitions dans les territoires palestiniens occupés et en Israël suivent leur cours et sans qu’il y ait la moindre réaction.
  Les forces israéliennes d’occupation ont procédé à la mi-juillet à une série de démolitions de maisons palestiniennes dans le secteur oriental occupé de Jérusalem - Photo : AFP
Selon OCHA, les mois de juillet et d’août ont vu le nombre le plus élevé de démolitions cette année. A la date de fin juillet, OCHOA rapporte que les forces israéliennes ont détruit plus de 230 structures, déplaçant ou affectant ainsi plus de 1100 Palestiniens dont 400 enfants, depuis le début de l’année 2010. Plus de 50% de ces destructions ont eu eu lieu rien qu’au mois de juillet. OCHA ajoute dans ses commentaires que l’administration civile israélienne intensifiera les démolitions en Cisjordanie sur ordre du ministère israélien de la défense.
Dans la vallée du Jourdain, les forces israéliennes ont démoli le village d’Al Farisyia à deux reprises en l’espace de 10 jours ; d’abord le 19 juillet puis à nouveau le 5 août. Ces démolitions ont eu comme conséquence la destruction de 116 structures [habitations, bâtiments d’élevage, ateliers...] et le déplacement de 129 personnes, 63 étant des enfants. Dans la deuxième série de démolitions, 10 structures précédemment épargnées ont été démolies ainsi que 27 structures et équipements fournis par le Comité International de la Croix Rouge. |

Il sorriso soddisfatto e di autocompiacimento di un Ministro della Difesa che appare come se avesse inghiottito il canarino dell’esercito.
C’è il detto secondo cui l’Uomo propone e Dio dispone (nella politica statunitense è “Il Presidente che propone e il Congresso che dispone”). Ma in Israele è l’IDF che propone E dispone. Questo è un modo di procedere del quale sono stato per lungo tempo particolarmente critico. Nella maggioranza delle democrazie l’apparato militare risponde all’apparato politico e l’ultimo può esercitare un qualche controllo sul primo. In Israele non è così. In quel paese, l’IDF è diventato un’istituzione talmente sacrosanta da essere quella che comanda sia nei termini dello sviluppo che in quelli della realizzazione della politica militari. Esso controlla in un certo qual modo pure le diramazioni di tale politica.
L’effetto è quello di trasformare l’esercito in un’entità che non deve rendere conto a nessuno. Che viceversa compie dei giganteschi errori e prende decisioni strategiche autoillusorie, com’è successo negli anni recenti con le guerre del Libano e di Gaza e con il fiasco della Mavi Marmara.

Dov Lior, the chief rabbi of Kiryat Arba and Hebron, head of the rabbinical committee in the territories and a power broker in the halls of government, is this country's real prime minister, writer Sefi Rachlevsky said in an op-ed in Haaretz's Hebrew edition last week.
Some of Lior's doctrines, which made headlines in the wake of his refusal to be interrogated by police in an incitement case, were revealed in Rachlevsky's piece: permission to spill Arab blood, praise for the murderer Baruch Goldstein and spiritual support for extreme right-wing Jewish terrorists. In addition, Lior is suspected of involvement in the rabbinical condemnation of Yitzhak Rabin before the prime minister was assassinated in 1995. (...)
The rabbi sometimes seems open to non-Jewish music and willing to have Jews engage with it, but at other times talks about banning it. "Until 400 years ago there were composers among non-Jews, but they all focused on church music and pagan music," is his simplistic approach. "But since a rebellion occurred, they started creating humane music that expresses positive sentiments. There are some honorable people among the goyim. A few, but they exist. I think that even in Hebron there are a few who are human beings - which doesn't mean I'm saying they shouldn't all be sent to Saudi Arabia. They should all be sent to Saudi Arabia!"
