SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS

Yediot Ahronot refers to the controversy over Migron: "The small communities cropping up on every hilltop cost the state in capital, infrastructures and security measures. A proper right-wing government needs to formulate a policy in keeping with its outlook: Construction in the larger communities yes, construction in the smaller communities no. There is no need. Oslo is dead. The Bar-Ilan speech is dead. The whole world knows. Now it is possible to stop winking and start investing in what is correct."

Ma'ariv believes that operations such as the Six Day War and the Entebbe Raid have led Israelis to become enamored of, "astoundingly successful, inspiring and effective operations," despite events such as the Yom Kippur War, the Lebanese quagmire and the failure to rescue Nahshon Wachsman and Gilad Shalit by military action. The author notes that events such as the Six Day War and the Entebbe Raid were – inter alia – the product of total surprise and says that in regard to Iran, "One thing is clear – there will be no surprise. If the intention was to surprise, Israel should have taken the opposite tactic: Lulling them to sleep and then a military move."

Yisrael Hayom, at the start of the 2012-2013 school year, suggests, "Perhaps the great and important effort to bring everyone to the same threshold has exhausted itself, and the single index regarding eligibility for matriculation no longer serves the system as optimally as possible. Maybe it would be worthwhile to distinguish between three kinds of matriculation certificate: Vocational, academic and scientific." The author calls on education professionals to work out the details.
