The Israeli Mainstream Media Gets it Right! ...Once In A While

מוצש"ק פר' בשלחח תשע"ד

From the front page of last Thursday's Israel HaYom...

גורמים מדיניים בכירים בביקורת חריפה על התיווך האמריקני

"התוכנית לנסיגה מהבקעה מגוחכת"

לדברי הגורמים: "מזכיר המדינה האמריקני הציע תוכנית לנסיגה מוחלטת, לפינוי יישובים - ומי שיישאר להגן על הגבול המזרחי יהיו חיילים אמריקנים * זו תוכנית שאינה עומדת במבחן המציאות * מזכיר המדינה לא בקיא בפרטי הסכסוך, ומנהל את המו"מ באובססיביות * האמריקנים מנסים ליצור רושם שהסכם השלום קרוב - אבל ממילא, הצד הערבי לא יקבל את ההסכם" *

Senior government officials in a strong criticism of the American deal brokering:

"The plan to withdraw from the [Jordan] Valley is ridiculous."

According to sources, "The U.S. Secretary of State suggested a complete withdrawal, evacuation of settlements - and who will remain to defend the eastern border will be American soldiers * This plan does not meet the test of reality * The Secretary of State is not versed in the details of the conflict, and has been conducting the negotiations in an obsessive manner. * The Americans are trying to create the impression that a peace agreement is close - but in reality, the Arab side will not accept the agreement anyway." * Matti Tochfeld, January 10, 2014

Esser Agaroth (2¢):
Still do not believe that there is a real chance of U. S. soldiers being stationed on Israeli soil, pushing us around, and quite probably handling the expulsion of Jews from the heartland of our only true Homeland, Yehudah and Shomron (Judea and Samaria)?

Guess again.

How many times have our fearless leaders said that "such and such" will never happen? How many times have we said in our own heads?

We cannot be complacent, even when the Israeli mainstream media is gets it right, once in a while. Sure, Israel HaYom is basically Prime Minister Netanyahu's personal cheer leading squad. Nevertheless, it presents a pretty good headline here, of what the slumbering masses people just might be able to digest.

However, other than Secretary Kerry being naive, which I tend to doubt, there are a few other options as to what else could be at play here:

1. Kerry could just be "following orders" from President Obama, whom I also tend to doubt is naive.
2. The U. S. has it eyes on Jerusalem,...just like everybody else (Zech. 12-14).
3. Kerry, Obama, or both could just be evil.
4. The U. S. is seriously in the pockets and/or hands of the Arabs.
5. The U. S. simply on the "liberal pandering to the Arabs" bandwagon.

I am sure that there are a few more possibilities. The main point is that we cannot become complacent.
