Introduction

The following is Comparative Report No. 4 of ministers and Knesset members
of the right wing. The report documents achievements during the Period from
January 2011 to June 2011

The Mattot Arim movement noticed, a few years ago, some members of the
national camp in the Knesset did not provide good service to the electorate.
Some ministers and Knesset members would "rest" for most of their tenure in
the Knesset, and wake up and act - at best -
only at election time, after wasting at least 75% of their/our tenures.

Since then, Mattot Arim makes sure to make reports every six months or so on
the performance of the MK's in the national camp - to allow the public to
reward the those who it elected who represented them well.

When is a particular achievement attributed to a specific minister or MK? 3
examples:

* A MK or minister who leads a national bill - not "just voting" for the
law, but pushing the proposed law through the Knesset, the committees, the
Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister's Office, etc..

* Ministers and MKs who join forces and pushed together until they got a
results – for example that the government will not sign a contract with a
company that boycotts Judea and Samaria.

* Minister using the powers of their office to better achieve national
achievements (such as when the communications minister improves aspects of
the communication systems in Judea and Samaria neglected by his
predecessors).

All members of the Knesset and ministers received an early draft of the
report. They were given a fair opportunity to submit corrections and
additions, These were incorporated in the final report which you see now.

Initiatives, though important, that have not yet matured into an
accomplishment - will not be found here. For example, if the a bill has been
filed - but not yet voted on, or the bill has not yet passed, it does not
appear in the report at all. The same is the case regarding other political
or government moves that have yet to succeed.
.
The report is intended for the electorate that is loyal to the Land of
Israel and distributed to it by
Internet and the media. We hope this report, as its predecessors, will help
you, the millions of voters in the national camp, on two levels:

A. Make informed choices of loyal representatives in the Knesset and the
government when the day comes.

B. To update your representatives now, you've read good things about them
and you will continue to keep track of their work and hope they will
continue to get better and better. For contact information of elected
officials please contact us: mattot.arim@gmail.com .

Shas 6 (55% of MKs in faction)
United Torah Judaism 3 (60% of MKs in faction)

D. Conclusions

The number of achievements comes down - quite by accident - to 100
achievements just six months. This is many achievements as compared to
relatively fewer achievements covered by previous reports, This is certainly
welcome. However, if the number of active MKs grow, so too will the number
of achievements.

There is still much room for improvement:

A.First and foremost, there is no settlement drive. This should be the
flagship of a national government. This would lower housing prices and
solve the problem of homeless people, all just a short distance from Tel
Aviv and Jerusalem!

B. . Despite the proven damage caused by policy speech at Bar - Ilan
University (“for a Palestinian state") the coalition has yet to abandon this
policy. A Government decision against a Palestinian state has not been made,
nor conditioned and the law of Israel has not yet been applied to Judea and
Samaria. (a conditional decision - against a unilateral Palestinian state
received a majority of votes in the Knesset).

C. While the Prime Minister rejected the policy of his predecessors, Olmert
and Sharon, in practice scores of Supreme Court cases of the left, based on
the working assumption of the "occupation" are still pending and the
Government of Israel does not demand their rejection.

The purpose of this report is increasing the positive action of the
representatives of the national camp in the Knesset and the government. By
publication of positive action, we hope to increase voter turnout in the
national camp and the registration in parties in the national camp. Those
who in the past saw the lack of achievements by elected officials and
decided not to vote and not to join any party are the reason for this
report.

We wish to thank all those extra - parliamentary groups and activists who
helped us collect reliable information for “viewing” the parliamentary and
governmental activity.

Finally, we wish to thank, on behalf of the public, ministers and Knesset
members who excelled in this report, for their essential Zionist work, and
to express the hope and promise: that every one of us feels a personal
obligation as a citizen loyal to his country, to work in their sphere of
influence, to ensure that ministers and Knesset members who invested and
made achievements will continue to serve the public in the next Knesset and
in the next government.
