Lieberman Resigning? Hamas Rockets rain down on Israel with little Response

By Erik Zimerman On November 14, 2018 · Add Comment · In Avvisi, Joab's Men

Israel’s government, lacking the political will to impose territorial consequences on our enemies who bombard us daily, has no response to the hundreds of missiles from Hamas in Gaza other than to whine loudly. We whine to the world about how dangerous missiles are (not to mention kites and balloons) and how bad the people who send them are, and about our “right” to defend ourselves. And do nothing else. Not surprisingly I have even seen calls from people for Trump to send troops to help us! Because it would seem understandable that a person would think that Israel simply cannot apparently defeat this formidable Hamas. It would not be obvious, and in fact quite surprising, to the casual observer, that Israel can easily defeat Hamas and simply chooses not to. Odd to know that the IDF’s orders are to do nothing, but watch the bombardment. But that is the case. We certainly do not need US troops to stand next to us and also do nothing, and we don’t need US troops to defeat the gangs of thugs that shoot flying tin cans and kites at us. The IDF would make short work of them and quickly take Gaza [...]

Jerusalem Mayoral Elections 2018

By Erik Zimerman On November 13, 2018 · 1 Comment · In Against the Wind, Avvisi, Joab's Men

(Hebrew Below) Jerusalem, unite together to stop Ofer Berkowitz in today’s election runoff. The barrage of missiles today should help remind us who our enemies are, and not to chose to follow those that would divide our ancient people, so that we may never a house divided fall. Just as you would find disgusting an ideology to make it impossible by law for a mizrahi to live in an ashkenazi neighborhood, so should #Hitorerut ‘s divisive policies be an outrage. If any other western country segregated Jews by measuring how many mitsvahs they keep, we would all scream foul, and yet we support this segregation in our eternal capital in the single Jewish state?! Ofer is a young man who has been told to lead all his life.. go to the army, be an officer, then get into local politics.. lead lead lead, and that’s all very good and well, but he has never asked himself where he ought to lead us to. Leaders must know the right direction before they can lead others towards it. His foundation is non existent, his ideology baseless and hateful. All of his ideas are childish, extremist in their communism (even for Israel!), naive, and stand [...]

2013 Israeli Legislative Elections Voter Guide – Chart the Parliamentary Maze

By Erik Zimerman On January 17, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Joab's Men

The Lighthouse is happy to bring you the Jan 22 Israeli Knesset Elections Voter Guide Unlike in the US, Israel as a parliamentary system offers voters a myriad of parties. The chart below will help any unsure voter. It may also surprise the experienced voter, as he may not end up where he expects. Though done in good humor, it is a very important issue as a majority of Israeli voters vote for parties that do not really reflect their core values, but rather because they think themselves part of the matching “sector” of society. The chart follows a logical order of core beliefs in order of importance. Click on the chart to ZOOM IN. Below the chart, there is more in-depth commentary on each party. Background to the Election Only a few days away from the January 22 legislative elections in Israel. Being a country (unfortunately), with parliamentary supremacy, these elections are extremely important. What would in the US would be the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government are in Israel all rolled into one. And unlike other parliamentary systems, there are not two houses of congress or the legislature, but only one, known as the [...]

All is Not Lost (on the 2009 Israeli election results and coalition)

By Erik Zimerman On February 10, 2009 · Add Comment · In Against the Wind, Joab's Men

If Bibi (Netanyahu) and Lieberman are able to put egos, aside, consider country first, this should work out ok. With National Union coming on board, and Bibi and Lieberman together, they should be able to make the coalition, of course it will come down as usual to the corrupt and buyable Shas who will join anyone for the right price.. It is important that the right not break ranks and join Livni because their differences are small compared to the positions of the left which is to surrender Israel to the enemy humiliate ourselves before the world. The Left will make accusations that the people’s will is Kadima, being the largest party. They should be answered that their small margin making them the largest party was made up of Arab votes, hardly “the peoples” will as they are the very enemy of the state. Unfortunately our enemies, from Syria to Hamas, do not give Jews the vote. Beyond this, the right wing vote here is clearly the largest and it was simply broken into two parties. So if a majority voted right, and some even more right, what would be against the people’s will is then to the left to [...]
