Just Curious Morris Moshe Talansky has been in the hot seat for his gifts, loans, contributions to Ehud Olmert, but Olmert isn't the only Israeli politician who benefited from rich, generous friends. 
 Lots has been written about how Shimon Peres's Peace Center makes it easy for his supporters, including foreign organizations, to give him much more money than the measly few hundred thousand dollars Talansky admits he gave to Olmert.
 And I remember only a few years ago taking my parents to the Israeli Supreme Court to see the Israeli Movement for Quality in Government petition the court to have Ariel Sharon removed from office for accepting money from foreign businessmen. Now I wonder, I'm curious about how many Israeli politicians have never received similar "gifts" from friends and supporters, here and abroad. We only know what has already been revealed. No doubt there's plenty more being kept secret, at least for the time being. Because of this, Olmert feels safe. |

Not Just Politics"Jblogging," that's blogging on Jewish topics, is a lot broader and varied than just the politics you see here on the A7 jblogs. You can get an idea by checking out the two active jblog carnivals. Blog carnivals are like "floating" internet magazines in which most of the articles come from blogs. On blog carnivals, you'll find a collection of links to internet articles. The two jblog carnivals are Havel Havelim and the Kosher Cooking Carnival.
Jack coordinates Havel Havelim, which originally established by Soccer Dad. And I, in my guise as me-ander, maintain The Kosher Cooking Carnival.
I hope that you'll visit the jblog carnivals, and if you have any links to contribute, you can send them via blog carnival's service for HH and KCC. Enjoy! |

Fact and Fiction"Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense." We live in strange times. Who would ever have dreamt, in one's worst, most terrifying nightmare, that an Israeli Prime Minister would be offering its enemies valuable land and at the same time be investigated for multiple crimes of corruption? None of the big time, small time or blog time political commentators seem to have the insider's dope on what's really behind Olmert's transformation from Betari/Revisionist/Right-wing nationalist to Left-wing/give our land away/corruption-suspect. Which famous fiction/mystery/detective/suspense writer would you assign to the task of finding out who and what is truly behind Ehud Olmert?
Who's your writer of choice? Grisham? Ludlam? Michael Connelly? or? |

Punishment In Which World? It's hard to believe that for over two years, Ariel Sharon, the once-bulldozer has been hospitalized in an undignified, helpless vegetative state. Before then, he was one of those people you either hated or loved or both, but you could never be neutral. The neighborhood I live in was his "inspiration." On a visit to Shiloh in early 1981, he was shown around the small Shiloh community near the ancient Tel. he heard the plans and looked around. Two hills up and over a kilometer away was a gorgeous, large, mostly flat piece of land, much more suitable for building than where Shiloh's founders were excavating for their permanent homes. When they seemed doubtful of his idea, he sweetened it by offering fifty pre-fab homes. Chazal, our Sages, say that the righteous are punished in this world, so the next will be all rewards. Arik Sharon built, but he also destroyed. He destroyed Yamit so that Begin could give the Sinai to Egypt, and then he was the Prime Minister who declared Disengagement. Only G-d knows how much longer he will have to suffer in this world. Sins between man and his fellow man are the most difficult to repent.
Does G-d punish non-Jews in the same way as Jews? |
