SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
 
Yediot Ahronot protests the attempt last week to expel Allen Bengora, from Sierra Leone, who was injured in a terrorist attack 15 years ago.  The author exhorts that, "The ugly attempt to expel Bengora now is similar to the ugly attempt to expel him after he was seriously injured in the first terrorist attack in Tel-Aviv."
 
Ma'ariv says that, "Mofaz has adopted a new strategy.  He is starting from the top instead of from below.  He will present nationalistic stances in order to draw public support."  The author argues that, "What could help Mofaz, if anything, are opinion polls.  If they show that he can defeat Netanyahu, and that he can draw a large amount of seats for Kadima and take the government, he will have a chance in the next primaries.  In the meantime Livni controls her party without constrictions and publicly she is still popular."
 
Yisrael Hayom asks, "What doesn't [Barrack] Obama do in order to connect with the Arab world?  What doesn't he say to them in order to persuade?  But nothing helps – the leaders of the Arab world, actually, degrade all of his attempts.  …So a situation has been created in which, in reality, it is Netanyahu, presented in the media as someone who lays obstacles in Obama's path, who is the only entity in the region who is cooperating with the American President.  Any American request or petition to Arab countries to make assuaging steps toward Israel in order to move the process is answered in the negative, or not answered at all.  The one-sided gestures that Israel is making toward the Palestinian population only serve to further reinforce the fact that Israel is the only partner for peace negotiations, also according to the Americans."

The Jerusalem Post
discusses the recent shooting at the gay community center in Tel Aviv, and states that "Saturday night's carnage in Tel Aviv is heartbreaking. It is not - at least based on what we know now - cause for national consternation over the place of gays in Israeli society."

Haaretz
discusses the shooting in the gay community center in Tel Aviv, and asserts that while "Israeli society has come quite far over the last generation in accepting gay and lesbian people and couples,", we must, nevertheless, "fight this incitement and encourage openness and equal rights in every legal, public and political way possible."

[Yael Gvirtz, Shalom Yirushalmi and Mati Tuchfeld wrote today’s articles in Yediot Ahronot, Ma'ariv and Yisrael Hayom, respectively.]
