           Netanyahu: We Must Contain Hamas 'Cancer'=20
          =20

      =20
      In an exclusive interview with Ynet News last evening, Likud =
Chairman Benyamin Netanyahu said that the Likud "will build an iron wall =
around Hamas" and that the stated "hope" on the part of some that Hamas =
will moderate their stand after winning the election are completely =
unfounded.=20

      Slamming what he characterized as the "soft policies of Kadima," =
Netanyahu warned "this cancer (Hamas) has to be contained and reduced, =
not expanded. Otherwise, the entire country will be in danger."=20

      Addressing talk of possible Hamas moderation, the former prime =
minister said: "It's not really myopic, it's dead wrong, because Hamas =
is not a leopard that will change its spots" The Islamic group is =
"constitutionally, inherently, and in every way committed to the =
destruction of Israel," Netanyahu said. "If you give it more power, more =
land, more means, and more money, it will use that to advance the =
destruction of Israel."=20

      Netanyahu noted the same hopes for moderation were voiced after =
the ayatollahs rose to power in Iran, and "now they're building atomic =
missiles in order to wipe Israel off the map." "They said about the =
ayatollah regime the same thing they say about the Hamas. Power will =
moderate them. The experience of governing will moderate them. Some =
moderation," Netanyahu scoffed.=20

      Turning his attention to the upcoming general elections, the Likud =
chairman said the only thing he can offer is the truth, "and the truth =
is that we face a great danger, because Hamas is not Fatah, because it's =
part of a worldwide Islamic Jihadist movement that intends to destroy =
the State of Israel as its first goal."=20



                  =20
           Venezuela Welcomes Hamas=20
          =20

      =20
      So, what is the problem? asked Venezuela's president. Venezuela =
said Monday it would welcome leaders from the Hamas movement "with =
pleasure" if they visit the country as part of a South American tour =
following the group's victory in the recent Palestinian elections. Asked =
if the Venezuelan government will receive the Islamic group, Vice =
President Jose Vicente Rangel told reporters, "Of course we will. What =
is the problem?" "If they come, with pleasure," Rangel said. "They've =
just won an election." Venezuela is now added to the growing list of =
nations that are opening their arms to Hamas as a 'legitimate political =
party and government'.=20

      The United States, the European Union and the United Nations have =
insisted they would not deal with a Hamas-led Palestinian Authority and =
threatened to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in aid unless the =
group recognizes Israel and renounces violence.=20

      The new Palestinian/Hamas government will be sworn in this =
Saturday, Feb. 18th.=20

      In a related incident, Saudi Arabia's envoy to the United States =
said yesterday that unlike 9/11, suicide bombings by 'occupied' peoples =
are justified.=20

      He added that Al Qaeda and Hamas are different. Oh really!!!! And =
Saudi Arabia is supposed to be America's ally???=20

           The Push for an Israeli Constitution=20
          =20

      =20
      Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the Knesset plenum =
yesterday that the next parliament should seek to draw permanent borders =
and adopt a constitution to ensure Israel remains a democratic and =
Jewish State. Speaking during a ceremony marking the 57th anniversary of =
the Knesset, Olmert said: "The members of the 17th Knesset, which will =
enter this plenum in a number of months, will face a series of =
historical tasks. We will face a major task of establishing Israel as a =
democratic and Jewish state. The first step to reaching this objective =
will be the setting up of permanent borders. Another object which is no =
less important will be the realization of the commitment made in the =
declaration of independence to adopt a constitution."=20

      "The constitution will ensure that the State of Israel will act in =
accordance with Jewish and democratic ethics. It will ensure the =
protection of human rights and the establishment of clear regulations =
for government and of course the introduction of a fair system that will =
protect the rights of the Arab minority," Olmert said. Olmert added that =
the constitution will ensure government stability in a country where the =
average life of any government is 23 months.=20

      Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu also voiced unequivocal support =
for the adoption of a written constitution, saying "the reason we need a =
constitution is evident in the democratic elections of our neighbors; =
democratic elections are necessary but they are an insufficient =
condition for democracy."=20

      Netanyahu also warned of the gradual erosion of Israeli democracy: =
"On the Knesset's 57th birthday I wish to say something because the =
truth should be told. Despite Israel's achievements, there is a problem =
of trust between the Knesset and the voters, between the public and its =
representatives, and it is true to say that a dangerously distorted =
image of the Knesset has been developed in the heads of the public and I =
think it is our task to stop this trend." He also warned against =
premising the constitution on the American model: "The constitution =
needs to protect the citizen from the group, from tyranny, but today it =
also has to provide tools for the government to protect itself and the =
citizens from the reality we live in."=20



                  =20
           Mofaz Announces Major Change in IDF Service=20
          =20

      =20
      Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has announced something of a =
'revolution' in the IDF. Beginning in 2010, most IDF soldiers will only =
perform a mandatory two-year military service term instead of the =
current 3 year term. Combat soldiers and troops who perform special =
functions will serve two years and four months and get considerable =
financial compensation for their efforts.=20

      The changes will take effect gradually and the first to experience =
it will be recruits who join the army in the summer of 2006; they will =
serve two years and eight months. Those who joined the service after =
August 2004 will end their service four months early. The IDF will =
determine whether to keep the soldiers for a longer period of time and =
pay them accordingly.=20



                  =20
           Moment of Truth for Omri Sharon=20
          =20

      =20
      Will the Prime Minister's son go to jail? Omri Sharon, Prime =
Minister Ariel Sharon's son, will be at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court =
Tuesday at noon tpday as judges announce his sentence for illegal =
fundraising offences. Sharon pled guilty and was convicted under a plea =
bargain agreement for violating political fundraising laws and providing =
false testimony. The State Prosecutor's Office attorneys asked the court =
to send Sharon junior to prison over the offences despite Prime Minister =
Ariel Sharon's difficult condition and ongoing coma.=20

      Omri Sharon was convicted of offences stemming from illegal =
fundraising during Prime Minister Sharon's 1999 Likud primaries =
campaign. The affair was uncovered two years later in an investigative =
report by Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's leading newspaper.=20

      At the end of his trial, Omri Sharon turned to the judges and told =
them "1999 was one of the most difficult years in my life. It was the =
year my mother discovered she had cancer. I made severe mistakes and I'm =
sorry about that. I took responsibility for my acts and I hope the court =
will take my comments into account when it sentences me."=20



                  =20
           Hamas: 'We Dont Need Satanic (American) Money'=20
          =20

      =20
      Hamas leader Ahmed a-Zahar announced that the organization will =
not be threatened by the United States regarding funding to the =
Palestinian Authority (PA), announcing during a press conference in =
Cairo that America's "satanic" funds are not needed.=20

      The terrorist leader added "Entering the government under the =
principles of the Koran will not change his position for promises of =
American or European money. I hope America will cease aid. We are not in =
need of the satanic funds."=20

      I hope Washington is listening!=20



                  =20
           'Jews of the Jungle' Have their First Rabbi=20
          =20

      =20
      The emerging Jewish community of Tarapoto, located in the heart of =
the Peruvian jungle region, now has its first rabbi thanks to the Shavei =
Israel organization. Comprising several hundred people, the Tarapoto =
community consists of descendants of Moroccan Jews who migrated to the =
area in the late 19th century. Settling in towns in Peru's Amazon basin =
such as Iquitos in the 1880s, many became involved in local trade and =
commerce. From there they spread out to other parts of the country's =
northern interior, such as Tarapoto.=20

      "Assimilation and intermarriage took a heavy toll on the Moroccan =
Jews who chose to remain in the area," noted Shavei Israel Chairman =
Michael Freund. "Now, however, their children, grandchildren and even =
great-grandchildren have begun to return to their Jewish roots."=20

      Known as the City of Palms, Tarapoto is located adjacent to the =
Andes Mountains, over 600 kilometers north of Lima, Peru's capital. Many =
of the town's Jewish descendants still bear distinctly Jewish names, =
such as Ben-Zaken, Ben-Shimon and Cohen. The community is =
well-organized, and its members include doctors, lawyers, architects and =
academics who work at the local university. They gather for regular =
Sabbath and holiday prayers.=20

      Freund added, "It is remarkable that even in the remotest corners =
of the Peruvian jungle, the pintele Yid (Yiddish for the spark of =
Jewishness) inside every Jew continues to live on. No matter how far a =
Jewish soul may have wandered, the fact is that it will eventually find =
its way back home to its Land and its people." The reason this is so =
true is because it's biblical and the prophets tell us that this is =
exactly what will happen in the end of days.=20

      Michael Freund is in in the forefront of finding 'lost' Jewish =
communities and helping them fulfill these prophetic principles by =
providing practical and necessary help. Kol haKavod, Mr. Freund.=20

           Happy Valentine's Day=20
          =20

      =20
      To all my subscribers in countries which observe today, Feb. 14th, =
as Valentine's Day, may this day serve to remind us all what a blessing =
it is to have people who love us and whom we can love. May it also =
inspire us to be more loving throughout the year to those around us.=20

      Happy Valentine's Day and shalom from beautiful Israel, Leah=20

      Olmert said: =93The members of the 17th Knesset, which will enter =

tasks. We=20
      will face a major task of establishing Israel as a democratic and =
Jewish=20
      state. The first step to reaching this objective will be the =
setting up of=20
      permanent borders. Another object which is no less important will =
be the=20
      realization of the commitment made in the declaration of =
independence to=20
      adopt a constitution.=94 </P>
      <P>=93The constitution will ensure that the State of Israel will =

added that=20
      the constitution will ensure government stability in a country =
where the=20
      average life of any government is 23 months. </P>
      <P>Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu also voiced unequivocal support =
for the=20

      democratic elections are necessary but they are an insufficient =
condition=20
      for democracy.=94 </P>
      <P>Netanyahu also warned of the gradual erosion of Israeli =
democracy: =93On=20
      the Knesset=92s 57th birthday I wish to say something because the =
truth=20
      should be told. Despite Israel=92s achievements, there is a =
problem of trust=20
      between the Knesset and the voters, between the public and its=20
      representatives, and it is true to say that a dangerously =
distorted image=20
      of the Knesset has been developed in the heads of the public and I =
think=20
      it is our task to stop this trend.=94 He also warned against =
premising the=20
      constitution on the American model: =93The constitution needs to =
protect the=20
      citizen from the group, from tyranny, but today it also has to =

      <P>The emerging Jewish community of Tarapoto, located in the heart =
of the=20
      Peruvian jungle region, now has its first rabbi thanks to the =
Shavei=20
      Israel organization. Comprising several hundred people, the =
Tarapoto=20
      community consists of descendants of Moroccan Jews who migrated to =
the=20
      area in the late 19th century. Settling in towns in Peru's Amazon =
basin=20
      such as Iquitos in the 1880s, many became involved in local trade =
and=20
      commerce. From there they spread out to other parts of the =
country's=20
      northern interior, such as Tarapoto. </P>
      <P>"Assimilation and intermarriage took a heavy toll on the =
Moroccan Jews=20
      who chose to remain in the area," noted Shavei Israel Chairman =
Michael=20
      Freund. "Now, however, their children, grandchildren and even=20
      great-grandchildren have begun to return to their Jewish roots." =
</P>
      <P>Known as the City of Palms, Tarapoto is located adjacent to the =
Andes=20
      Mountains, over 600 kilometers north of Lima, Peru's capital. Many =
of the=20
      town's Jewish descendants still bear distinctly Jewish names, such =
as=20
      Ben-Zaken, Ben-Shimon and Cohen. The community is well-organized, =
and its=20
      members include doctors, lawyers, architects and academics who =
work at the=20
      local university. They gather for regular Sabbath and holiday =
prayers.=20
</P>
      <P>Freund added, "It is remarkable that even in the remotest =
corners of=20
      the Peruvian jungle, the pintele Yid (Yiddish for the <U><I>spark =
of=20
      Jewishness</I></U>) inside every Jew continues to live on. No =
matter how=20
      far a Jewish soul may have wandered, the fact is that <U>it will=20
      eventually find its way back home to its Land and its people</U>." =
The=20
      reason this is so true is because it's biblical and the prophets =
tell us=20
      that this is exactly what will happen in the end of days. </P>
      <P>Michael Freund is in in the forefront of finding 'lost' Jewish=20
      communities and helping them fulfill these prophetic principles by =

      providing practical and necessary help. Kol haKavod, Mr. Freund.=20
