SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot argues that, "We are at the height of a war, and we are losing. Not because we are weak, stupid or unjustified. Rather because we are unable, mentally and organizationally, to adjust ourselves to the new rules of the game. As long as the army is the leading factor in this war – we have failed. In operations which the IDF is preparing for these days, against the flotilla for example, the media and public diplomacy do not have to be an item in the operation. They have to be the heart, the essence, of the operational plan."
Ma'ariv opines that in Israel's, "Arab society, as well as in its ultra-orthodox society, the socio-economic situations are much better than is commonly thought." The author professes that, "In both a significant process is underway, which is foremost cultural, and, therefore, in the long term political." The author argues that we should, "stop being hysterical over the demographic situation…Not only is it not a smoking gun, it might even be only a water pistol."
Yisrael Hayom, contends that, "Only the commission headed by retired judge Terkel can act as a protective wall, however weak, against the international flotilla committees that are coming." The author notes that, "The other investigation, regarding internal Israeli decision-making, will be run by the State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss, who will ultimately hand his report on the flotilla operation to the Knesset State Control Committee. What the Terkel Commission, intended for the international community, does not do, the State Control Committee will: Decide, based on the Comptroller's report's findings if they are severe, to establish a State Commission of Inquiry, with all its consequences."
The Jerusalem Post discusses the report presented last week by the state commission of inquiry entrusted with investigating the plight of the settlers uprooted from their homes in Gush Katif in 2005, which concluded that the state had turned the evacuees into “refugees in their homeland.” The editor declares that "The question now is whether the commission’s exhaustive investigation and its resultant findings can improve matters," and adds: "Disengagement was implemented in the name of the entire nation. We owe it to those whose lives were turned upside down to give them the appropriate opportunities to recover."
Haaretz contends that "At the root of the struggle in Immanuel lies the issue that, on the face of it, has already been decided: Can a sector, community or group, in the name of its own private constitution, discriminate contrary to the laws of the state?" The editor states that "In the 21st century, Israel needs to decide where it belongs: in the OECD or in Immanuel. It is imperative to bolster the court and remind the ministers, MKs and parties of their responsibility and obligation to preserve the rules of the democratic game and back the Supreme Court's rulings."
