Her flaw? She tells the truth.
They used to say that oftentimes Golda Meir was “the only man in the room.” The same might be said of Ayelet Shaked.
A Member of Knesset since 2013, Shaked, 39, was recently appointed to serve as Minister of Justice for Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. The appointment has been greeted with satisfaction from many on the Right and with howls of protest from everybody on the Left.
The Left does not like her because too often she speaks her mind and tells the truth. To the Left, this is a flaw.
Shaked believes in no two-state solution and Arab MKs, including Ahmed Tibi and Haneen Zoabi often felt the lash of her rebuke. The lady is no pushover.
She is called “extreme”…an “extreme right-winger”…but that’s what they call anyone who is combative for the Jewish State.
Arabs in Israel, to her thinking, are welcome to their rights.
But if they deny Jewish rights to the Jewish homeland they are welcome to leave, along with foreign infiltrators.
Objectifying her for her good looks (as some keep trying) – not recommended. She served as an infantry instructor for the Golani Brigade.
She’s been hearing it from Liberals ever since the Gaza War, when she blamed the terrorists andthe mothers and fathers who sent them as well.
Their hands are no less bloody, she charged.
We do that all the time over here in the United States. The man who drove the car is as guilty as the man who pulled the trigger. It is the law.
For daring to implicate those who arm, incite and support the terrorists, swiftlyHaaretz, Turkey’s Erdogan and Leftist bloggers galore accused her of decreeing “genocide” against “the Palestinian people,” something she never said or even suggested.
Shaked, who holds a degree in Electronical Engineering and Computer Science, did suggest that Palestinian Arabs were being manipulated to hate.
This, the conditioning, not the people, has to be expunged. The Left, however, makes it a business to misunderstand.
While in the Knesset, Shaked lobbied for equality for women, especially Arab women academics. So she is not easy to define.
However, as Hamas kept firing missiles into Israel, Shaked lost her tempter. Enough is enough. She used some heated language – and why the hell not?
Apparently, emotions such as anger, rage, indignation are forbidden to Israelis and denied to Jews in general. Not so for this daughter of Israel.
Israelis are expected to keep taking it on the chin and to suffer in silence. Jews, no matter how provoked, must remain obedient.
Radical Muslims are governed by no such restrictions and five times a day Jews are called sons of dogs and pigs. The world does not object.
But Ayelet Shaked is advised to stay polite.
Trouble is, she was born in Israel and was not told that Jews are bred to be willing victims. Read this for the drama of people who refuse to kowtow.
Jimmy Carter and a thousand campuses are in an uproar against Israel.
But Ayelet Shaked is cautioned to speak softly.
Otherwise, the world won’t love her.
This proud defiant Sabra, this fighter for the honor and glory of Israel – it is unlikely that she gives a damn. Better to be respected than loved.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I wrote Pamela the other night and said she reminded me a bit of Peter Bergson, with her defiant and courageous activity. Of course, I’m too young to remember the Bergson Group, but I’ve read about it.
The Feminazi sites like the Huffington Post are on full time hate mode against Bibi but it might be a bit harder for them to take on women who have the same cause and are just as steadfast. The Huffington Post has gotten a bit quiet in recent days about Pamela. They wouldn’t be so quiet if it was a man who did what Pamela did.
Most of you do not remember or could give a hoop less about who one Yoseph Paritzky was. Some may want to know so down the page there is some information on the item.
After Lapid the elder’s ensemble was demolished in elections Paritzky has, for the most kept his trap shut. Suddenly the disgusting fellow has something to say about Mrs. Shaked.
Paritzky was one of the Lapid, the elder, party associates. El ministro himself I believe. Sharon’s amigo.
Lapid the old had a choice on associates that surpassed by far the worst anti-Jewish elements of that time.
One of his cumpas coined the famous say. “there is nothing wrong with being a bit of an anti-Semite”.
Paritzly is quoted on A 7 so I will not repeat what the item said about Mrs. Shaked.
Sounds a lot like Pamela Geller, judging by the reaction of our moral superiors…
Well said Mr. Engelhard – Thank you
