By DAVID HOROWITZ Editor’s Notes: Saul Singer, co-author of the Israel-redefining ‘Start-Up Nation,’ urges Israel and its supporters to internalize just how profoundly our phenomenal capacity for innovation can better this planet. To our considerable sorrow here at The Jerusalem Post, our super-smart, relentlessly questioning, insightful editorial writer, Saul Singer, left the paper three years ago to write a book. To the great and still evolving benefit of the State of Israel, that book was Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle. The two answered that question with such conviction and flair as to turn their book into a... On reading the article below, I wrote the following to Alan Baker. I read your excellent article and wanted to ask you a specific question. In the Oslo Accords, did Israel agree to limit itself to negotiating “secure and recognized borders” pursuant to 242 rather than to demanding its rights to Judea and Samaria under the Mandate. In other words did she explicitly waive any claims she had pursuant to the Mandate? PM Netanyahu talks about our historical rights but never our legal rights from the Mandate. Although he mentions our historical rights he claims nothing which might flow from them with respect to Judea and Samaria. If I am right in believing that we waived our rights, can we reassert them if the UN violates 242 and if the PA violates the Oslo Accords. You wrote that for the PA to declare a state would be a fundamental breach of the Accords. It seems that there has been a number of fundamental breaches. Namely I refer to their incitement and violence. But... Lieberman also responds to judge’s regret over report on Gaza war, says two years of work undermining it paid off. ‘Now it is clear that IDF is moral army,’ he says, adding that UN Human Rights Council’s decisions on Israel are no longer valid Israeli officials expressed satisfaction Saturday with Judge Richard Goldstone’s regret for his report on Operation Cast Lead in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the UN to retract the Goldstone report. “Everything we said was proven to be true. Israel did not willfully harm civilians,” Netanyahu explained, adding, “Israel’s investigating authorities are worthy, while Hamas investigated nothing. The fact that Goldstone withdrew his conclusions must lead to the retraction of the report once and for all.” Netanyahu added that “the biggest absurdity is that the United Nation’s Human Rights Council initiated the report, and one of... American Congress members, Jewish organizations demand that UN cancel Gaza war report following Judge Goldstone’s expression of regret. Alan Dershowitz: Jews must always accept those who repent back into the fold WASHINGTON – Following the publication of an article in which Judge Richard Goldstone expressed regret over his report accusing Israel of committing war crimes during Operation Cast Lead, US Congress members and Jewish organizations have demanded that the UN retract the Goldstone report. Florida Congressman Ted Deutch published a statement where he said that by Goldstone’s own confession the committee’s report was deeply flawed and that Goldstone acknowledges that the UN Human Rights Committee is prejudiced against Israel and so the must bring about the immediate retraction of the original report. The American Jewish Committee published a statement calling on Goldstone to “present his updated conclusions to the UN... Defense minister says South African judge’s regret over Gaza war report is ‘very important’, but that Israel will ‘make him’ express regret in international forum as well. PM Netanyahu: We’ll work to demand justice Israel deserves Two days after Judge Richard Goldstone expressed his regret over his accusations against Israel in his Gaza war report, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday that “Goldstone’s article is very important, but it’s too little and too late. We’ll make him face an international United Nations forum and speak out.” Although Goldstone also said Israel should have cooperated with the UN investigation into Operation Cast Lead, Barak does not regret the decision not to cooperate with the South African judge’s team. “It’s good that we rejected it,” he told reporters at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. Barak reiterated that the... As you know, the UN may impose sanctions on Israel once it recognizes a Palestinian state, if we refuse to. I am writing an article in which I will argue that Israel can survive sanctions. I would appreciate any arguments or thoughts, pro or con, that you have, on the matter. Just post comments.

Palestine Wall of Lies
They tried to kill us, we won, now we’re changing the world
Along with his New York-based co-author Dan Senor, Jerusalemite Singer set out to answer the question of how our tiny country, all but bereft of natural resources and in the midst of a constant struggle for physical survival, has nonetheless managed to outstrip every other nation on Earth in terms of hi-tech innovation.The Palestinian UN Gamble – Irresponsible and Ill-Advised
