SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot notes that, „The violence in football begins with the owners and with the managers
–
with some of them. Some of them are former criminals. Some are presently under investigation. However their essence is closer to the illegal gambling industry rather than to the joy of sport.”
Ma’ariv remarks that, „Something happened in Egypt: In the most dramatic of events since the fall of Mubarak’s regime, the Muslim Brotherhood announced that Mahmoud Khairat el-Shater would be its candidate for the presidency. We find ourselves ahead of an event that will change the Middle East: The political Islam of Egypt is conquering both the lower house and the administrative branch of government.”
Yisrael Hayom professes that, „18.5 years after the first Oslo agreement, known as the ‘Gaza and Jericho First’ agreement, the conflict is still the weightiest issue that Israel must deal with in the coming decades. Today, as the class of 94′ reaches the age of 18, it is worthwhile examining what the peace agreements gave Israel and what they made worse. First, Israel forfeited places of heritage, i.e. Jewish holy and historic places. Second, for the first time a Palestinian terrorist organization received international legitimacy. Israel, in the world’s consciousness, turned into a colonial element, no longer a long-suffering people that returned to its land after two thousand years of exile, but rather a conquering nation which took from the Arabs their homes.” The author notes that, „The Palestinians received territory, media channels and weapons. They have exploited it for everything it is worth. They have practiced terrorism and exploited television and radio channels for hostile incitement and intensifying the armed struggle.”
