- MK Candidate Dr. Ben Ari: Follow King David's Advice on Gaza: Rabbi Dr. Michael Ben-Ari, the number four man on the National Union's Knesset list, thinks the leaders of Israel should follow King David's advice from the Eighteenth Psalm regarding Gaza: "I will chase my enemies and catch up to them and I shall not return until I annihilate them." "This should be the slogan of every leader and IDF commander,&quo t; he said. "The enemy must know that whoever raises his hand against Israel, we will teach him a lesson and annihilate him as well as all his helpers and supporters, and only thus will we take out their will to fire missiles at us."

- Hebron Settlers Take Their Fight Into Israel - by Jonathan Cook: The move has aroused furious opposition from local residents and the leadership of the Palestinian minority. Jamal Zahalka, an Arab member of the parliament, called the court decision a "legitimi zation of racism": "We will use our right of protest and defend Umm al-Fahm from these fascists and racists." It is not the first time that Umm al-Fahm has attracted the interest of Israel's far-right. The Kach party ? led by Rabbi Meir Kahane ? held a similar march in 1984, the year it won representation in the Israeli parliament for the first time. A decade later the movement, which organized attacks on Palestinians, was outlawed as a terrorist organization. However, the banning of Kach has been laxly enforced. Several former Kach leaders, including Mr. Marzel, himself a Hebron settler, have reinvented the group as the Jewish National Front. Mr. Marzel has made several unsuccessful attempts to stand for parliament, and is due to run again in February.

- 'The Time Has Come to Say These Things' - The New York Review of Books: extended interview of lame-duck PM Olmert by journalists Nahum Barnea and Shimon Shiffer. Olmert is a former mayor of Jerusalem, member of the Knesset, and cabinet-level official. In 2005, he left the right-wing Likud party and joined the Kadima party, a centrist alliance formed by then PM Ariel Sharon in the wake of Israel's "disengag ement" from the Gaza Strip. Olmert, who served as deputy PM in the Kadima-led government, assumed the premiership in 2006 when Sharon suffered a stroke. He announced his intention to resign this July amid a growing corruption scandal and a dismal public approval rating that never recovered from his failed 2006 war against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. On Sep 21, upon tendering his official resignation, Olmert became head of an interim government and will hold that position until a new PM is sworn in Under Israeli law, the PM?designate, Kadima's Tzipi Livni, had forty-two days from the resignation to form a workable ruling coalition.

- Avraham Burg: Israel's new prophet Avraham Burg was a pillar of the Israeli establishment but his new book is causing a sensation. It argues that his country is an "abused child" which has become a "violent parent". And his solutions are radical,: talking with some disdain about the holocaust "industry ". The sunlight is filtered through the roof of palm leaves, the decorative strings of apples, coloured balls and paper streamers almost motionless on this still October morning. Nearby the autumn desert flowers are blooming and a ladder up against a tree indicates that someone has recently been picking olives. Here in Nataf, the select, upper-middle-c lass community idyllically set in the Jerusalem Hills where Burg lives with his wife Yael, just 1,000 metres from the border with the West Bank, it's momentarily hard to focus on the sombre subject matter of his latest, explosive book, one which by his own ? if anything understated ? account "singleha ndedly shook the foundations of the Zionist establishment overnight" ;. It isn't long since Burg was a blue-chip member of that same Zionist establishment. The son of a long-serving government minister, from the time of David Ben-Gurion 9;s government, he has a classic

- In praise of a brave woman - Israel Opinion, Ynetnews: The only Arab Christian Woman in the Knesset - one of 17 women and one of only two Christians - Hilou will not stop fighting for family services and the rights of children even when everyone else has. Last week, for example, she called a special meeting of the Knesset committee she chairs, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, to examine the facts behind the recent murder of two young children. Only two members of the Knesset showed up but Hilou's hearing gave the local media facts that might not have been heard. Experts testified that 5-6 children are murdered by relatives every year in Israel. But others, like Dr. Hanita Zimrin, who heads Eli, the Israel Association for Child Protection, said she thought this was the tip of the iceberg. Many cases that are listed as suicides or accidents may have been murders, she said.
