1. BUSH'S CHOICE: POWELL OR THE PROPHETS
By Michael Freund - March 20, 2003 - Jerusalem Post=20
Did the president really say what I think he said? Speaking in =
the White House Rose Garden this past Friday, a clearly delighted Colin =
Powell at his side, George W. Bush went ahead and used the O word, as in =
"occupied," when describing Israel's heartland of Judea, Samaria and =
Gaza.=20
In laying out his vision for the establishment of a Palestinian =
state, Bush said that, "as progress is made toward peace, settlement =
activity in the occupied territories must end," the implication being =
that Jewish housing construction somehow inhibits Middle Eastern =
harmony.=20
With the United States poised to liberate Baghdad, the =
president's use of the O word might seem a matter of secondary =
importance, as the entire region will soon undergo a fundamental =
transformation of historic proportions. America is about to reshuffle =
the Arab deck, with far-reaching consequences for nearly every country =
involved.=20
But with all the uncertainty regarding precisely what will =
emerge in the post-Saddam era, there is one issue about which there =
should be little doubt. Once the Iraqis get walloped, Russia, Europe and =
the Arab world will intensify their criticism, seeking to force Bush to =
"balance" his liberation of Iraq with independence for the Palestinians. =
In fact, such pressure is already starting to mount. As the New =
York Times reported over the weekend, Bush's Friday statement came as "a =
result of pressure from British Prime Minister Tony Blair." Blair, the =
Times noted, has been demanding that the White House adopt the road map =
leading to a Palestinian state so as "to quell the anger throughout the =
Arab world over the Bush administration's perceived focus on Iraq."=20
Hence, the president's reference to the "occupied territories" =
and his call for the establishment of a Palestinian state should not be =
written off lightly. Rather, it is just a small taste of what is yet to =
come.=20
To be fair, the White House's stance on Judea, Samaria and Gaza =
is hardly new. American presidents have long been vocally opposed to the =
expansion of Jewish communities in the territories, even as they =
remained inexplicably silent about the illegal growth of neighboring =
Arab villages.=20
But Bush is not just any American president. Unlike his =
predecessors, he has pushed Yasser Arafat into a corner, courageously =
stood up to Saddam Hussein, underlined the need for democratization of =
the Arab world and launched a far-reaching global war on terror.
It may sound cliched, but he is by far "the best friend Israel =
has had in the White House" in a good long time.=20
AND THAT is what makes his latest remarks so puzzling.=20
For as a number of recent stories in the US press have made =
amply clear, Bush is a religious man who takes his Christian faith =
seriously. And yet, if Jesus were alive today, the US State Department =
would likely criticize him for being a Jewish settler and an obstacle to =
peace.=20
After all, according to the New Testament, Jesus was a Jew born =
in Bethlehem, which is south of Jerusalem, in what Colin Powell =
considers the "occupied territory" of Judea. His parents were Jews who =
undoubtedly prayed at a local Bethlehem synagogue, learned Torah at a =
local study hall, and bought food at the local kosher marketplace.
Thus they were Jewish settlers in every respect.=20
Needless to say, the New Testament itself contains no mention of =
the word "Palestine" or "Palestinians," for the simple reason that they =
did not exist. All told, in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, the =
terms "Judah" or "Judea" appear 877 times, and "Samaria" is used on 123 =
occasions. There is no reference to phrases such as the "West Bank" or =
"occupied territories," as Islam had not yet even come into being.=20
It is therefore hard to understand why the president would =
consent to pressure Israel to turn over Judea, Samaria and Gaza to the =
Palestinians, for he would appear to be acting contrary to what his own =
hallowed text seems to demonstrate, namely, that these areas belong to =
the Jewish people and no one else.=20
The same goes for Israel's capital, where many of the events in =
the Christian bible, such as the last supper on Mount Zion, the =
denunciation in the Garden of Gethsemane and the crucifixion on Golgotha =
are all described as having taken place in Jerusalem in Roman-occupied =
Jewish Jerusalem, that is.=20
Hence, Christians who accept Palestinian demands to Jerusalem =
are essentially denying the validity of their own traditions.
It is imperative, then, that American Christian supporters of =
Israel launch an all-out effort to remind Bush of these facts and =
counter the pressure he is coming under from the likes of Tony Blair and =
Colin Powell.=20
Bush is an honest and decent man, true to himself and his belief =
system. But he is facing enormous pressure to mollify the Arabs at the =
expense of the Jewish state, and he will therefore need a great deal of =
public backing if he is to stand up to it.=20
Since Bush is a man of faith, Christian supporters of Israel =
should appeal to him using a faith-based approach, pointing out that the =
New Testament he professes to believe in provides ample evidence that =
places such as Bethlehem and Hebron have nothing to do with the =
Palestinians, and everything to do with Israel.=20
Of course I, as a Jew, personally look to the Torah for =
validation of my people's unbreakable connection to the Land of Israel =
and exclusive rights to it. As far as I am concerned the views of the =
Prophets take precedence over those of Colin Powell any day.=20
Once the war in Iraq is over, though, Bush will likely have to =
make a choice between the two.
Now is the time for American Christians to speak out and remind =
him that when it comes to politics versus prophecy, the man of faith =
must ultimately follow his heart.=20
The writer served as deputy director of communications & =
policy planning in the Prime Minister's Office from 1996 to 1999.

2. HOMEFRONT STAYS QUIET, BUT ISRAELIS FRET ABOUT DIPLOMATIC =
DAY AFTER
By Reuven Koret - March 21, 2003=20
Israelis went about their business Friday, with Patriot =
anti-missile batteries guarding their cities and cardboard gas mask kits =
at their side. Schools remained open, and attendance was reported at =
about 80% of usual although rates dipped to around 50% in the Tel Aviv =
area believed to be relatively vulnerable. But amid the cautious calm, =
some Israeli officials have expressed concern about ominous signs on the =
diplomatic front.=20
The continuing reminders of the "road map" by the British and =
other Europeans continue to cause annoyance here, if not surprise. =
Israeli officials say that repeated references to the need for the =
creation of a "viable Palestinian state" are to be expected as lip =
service paid by the United States to ensure that the Arab and European =
partners have something to tell their constituencies and cover their =
diplomatic flanks.=20
Israelis are counting on a swift American victory, followed by a =
protracted effort to stabilize and reconstruct a vanquished Iraq. =
Israeli officials are hopeful that the nation's diplomatic, military and =
logistical support for the American-led effort to stage its offensive =
against the regime of Saddam Hussein -- in stark contrast to Turkey, let =
alone unwilling NATO states like France and Germany -- will earn =
post-war "brownie points."=20
The decision of the United States to extend to Israel $9 billion =
in special loan guarantees, announced on the eve of the outbreak of war, =
earned the thanks of newly appointed Finance Minister Benyamin =
Netanyahu, a billion more than requested as a token of appreciation for =
Bibi proposed draconian budgetary cuts. But behind the scenes, unnamed =
Israeli officials expressed disappointment that $1 billion in military =
grants was offered rather than the requested. The sum, they note, will =
not come close to covering the expenses and losses caused in the Israeli =
economy by the conflict. In the aftermath of the conflict, even if =
Israel suffers no direct damage from Iraqi attacks, the nation will be =
more economically vulnerable than ever.=20
The diplomatic vulnerability promises to be heightened as well. =
Officials in Jerusalem have expressed concern with the conflict =
interpretations being offered concerning the US-EU-UN-Russian Quartet's =
Roadmap for Israel-Palestinian peace. In the Rose Garden statement on =
the subject by George Bush last week, there was an insistence that the =
publication of the Roadmap would be dependent on the confirmation of a =
Palestinian Prime Minister with "real authority."=20
It has since become clear that, in matters of security of =
foreign affairs and security, the newly appointed PM Abu Mazen will be =
beholden to Yasser Arafat, who will remain the real decision-maker on =
these key issues. Still, it is not yet clear whether this fact will in =
fact defer the release of the Roadmap. The United States has welcomed =
the appointment of Abu Mazen as a positive step, but has not yet =
authorized the Roadmap's publication.=20
Also disturbing to Israeli officials has been ambiguity in the =
ability to modify the current form of the Roadmap. While President Bush =
said that he would welcome "contributions" to the current Roadmap, and =
"encourage" Israelis and Palestinians to discuss the issues directly, =
U.S. Administration officials hastened to say that the Roadmap was not =
open for renegotiation.=20
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said on March 19: =
"The document will be released as the road map; that is the road map, =
and that will be the road map" and the Washington Post quoted a State =
Department official as saying that "We don't want to leave the =
impression that Israel has veto power and can renegotiate the road map =
on their own terms.'"=20
Secretary of State Colin Powell said that the draft to be =
published was the December 20 edition. A State Department official said =
that the U.S. was prepared to discuss the implementation of the Roadmap =
but not its language.=20
When Israeli officials protested that this seemed to preclude =
consideration of Israel's extensive list of comments to the current =
draft, American officials reportedly dismissed this concern and said =
that implementation was the key and that improvement in the security =
situation would in any case be a precondition for diplomatic progress.=20
This vagueness has raised fears in the Sharon government that =
completion of the Iraq campaign will be followed by an imposed solution =
on Israel, with the Roadmap treated as an ultimatum subject to the =
strict interpretation of the Quartet with little opportunity for Israeli =
input or consideration of Israeli security concerns.=20

3. MR. PRESIDENT, DON'T GO BACK TO THE U.N.
By Charles Krauthammer - March 21, 2003=20
Don't go back, Mr. President. You walked away from the United =
Nations at great cost and with great courage. Don't go back.=20
No one knows when this war will end. But when it does, you'll =
have to decide the terms. Yet in the last few days both you and Tony =
Blair have said you will seek a new U.N. resolution, postwar, providing =
for the governance of Iraq.=20
Why in God's name would we want to re-empower the French in =
deciding the postwar settlement? Why would we want to grant them =
influence over the terms, the powers, the duration of an occupation =
bought at the price of American and British blood? France, Germany and =
Russia did everything they could to sabotage your policy before the war. =
Will they want to see it succeed after the war?=20
The Frankfurt Allgemeine reports that on Feb. 21, Germany's U.N. =
ambassador, Gunter Pleuger, wrote his Foreign Ministry that the United =
States, blocked on a U.N. war resolution and fighting alone, would later =
``remorsefully return to the council'' to seek help in rebuilding Iraq.=20
That is their game. Why should we play into it? And why return =
the issue to Kofi Annan, who had the audacity to declare the war =
illegitimate because it is supported by only 17 U.N. resolutions and not =
18?=20
Mr. President, we lost at the U.N. Badly. But that signal defeat =
had one significant side benefit. For the first time, Americans got to =
see what the U.N. truly is. The experience has been bracing. The result =
has been an enormous and salutary shift in American public opinion.=20
You've seen the polls: 75 percent of Americans disapprove of how =
the U.N. handled the situation with Iraq. In December, polls showed a =
majority of Americans opposed to a war without U.N. backing. Today, =
after the U.N. debacle, 71 percent support the war regardless.=20
What happened? Americans finally had a look inside the sausage =
factory. Their image of the ``U.N.'' as a legitimating institution had =
always been deeply sentimental, based on the U.N. of their =
youth--UNICEF, refugee help, earthquake assistance. A global Mother =
Teresa. That's what they thought of the U.N., and that's why they held =
it in esteem and cared about what it said. Now they know that the =
``U.N.'' is not UNICEF collection boxes, but a committee of cynical, =
resentful, ex-imperial powers like France and Russia serving their own =
national interests--and delighting in frustrating America's--without the =
slightest reference to the moral issues at stake. The American public =
understands that this is not a body in which to entrust American values =
or American security.=20
On Sept. 12, 2002, you gave the U.N. a fair test: Act like a =
real instrument for collective security--or die like the League of =
Nations. The U.N. failed spectacularly. The American people saw it. And =
the American people are now with you in leaving the U.N. behind.=20
Why resurrect it after the war? When not destructive, as on =
Iraq, it is useless, as on North Korea. China has blocked the Security =
Council from even meeting to deal with North Korea's brazen nuclear =
breakout. On this one, the Security Council wants the United States to =
unilaterally engage North Korea--this amid daily excoriations of the =
U.S. for ``unilateralism."=20
The hypocrisy is stunning. But the deeper issue is that the =
principal purpose of the Security Council is not to restrain tyrants, =
but to restrain the United States.=20
The Security Council is nothing more than the victory coalition =
of 1945. That was six decades ago. Let a new structure be born out of =
the Iraq coalition. Maybe it will acquire a name, maybe it won't. But it =
is this coalition of freedom--led by the United States and Britain and =
about 30 other nations, including such moderate Arab states as Jordan, =
Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar--that should set and institutionalize the =
terms for postwar Iraq. Not the Security Council.=20
If we're going to negotiate terms, it should be with allies who =
helped us, who share our vision and our purposes. Not with France, =
Germany, Russia and China, who see us--you--as the threat and whose =
singular purpose will be to subvert any victory.=20
There were wars and truces and treaties before the U.N. was =
created--as there will be after its demise. No need to formally leave =
the U.N., Mr. President. Just ignore it. Without us, it will wither =
away.=20
Fighting a war and rebuilding Iraq are tasks enough, I know. But =
serendipity--and France--has given you the opportunity to build new =
international structures without the albatross of this hopeless =
anachronism.=20
No act of commission is required. Just omission. Don't return, =
Mr. President. Don't give Ambassador Pleuger the satisfaction of seeing =
you crawl back.=20

4. ONE ROAD MAP FOR SADDAM
"A View of the Absurd" Op Ed Column By Jack Engelhard 3/18/03=20
Forty eight hours to get out of town. I like that. Pure Texas =
rawhide. For a while there, he had us worried. Even though Tough Guys =
Don't Dance, he was doing the European tango. Guess he had to. After =
all, he's not just the President of the United States. He's really the =
President of the World.=20
No "two-state solution" for Saddam. No "road map" for Saddam. No =
Oslo, no Quartet, and no "painful" territorial concessions for Saddam.=20
Saddam gets no part of the West, he won't be sharing Washington, =
D.C., and he doesn't get trusteeship over our historic landmarks.=20
Actually, there is a road map for Saddam. Follow these =
directions: straight out of town!=20
"The tyrant will soon be gone," said Our Guy, back in the saddle =
again.=20
Might be a lesson here for Sharon, even for Bush himself when he =
returns his attention to Israel...and...what the heck was that all =
about? A few days back, in the middle of nothing, suddenly...We =
interrupt Iraq to bring you Israel.=20
That's what it amounted to last week when President Bush took to =
the air from the Rose Garden to reaffirm his commitment for an Israel =
and "Palestine" that "will live side by side in peace and security." As =
quick as you could say, yeah, right, here's Tony Blair reading from the =
same script.=20
Nothing from Blair or Bush about living side by side "in peace =
and security" with Saddam or Osama.=20
How is Israel's war different from America's war...and how is =
Yasser different from other tyrants? One difference, perhaps: Yasser and =
his thugs kill "only" Jews. But that's not true, either. The record =
shows that since "Arafat renounced violence in the Oslo Peace Accords, =
September 13, 1993, at least 38 Americans have been murdered by =
Palestinian terrorists."=20
That was some set-up, that made-for-TV production between Blair =
and Bush. The fix was in, obviously to gladden the Chirac/Shroeder "Axis =
of Israel Next."=20
Or rather, "You give us Israel. We'll give you Iraq."=20
President Bush was big when he spoke his own words on Saddam. He =
was small when, earlier, in that Rose Garden Israel "infomercial," he =
spoke like a puppet, mouthing words on Israel and "Palestine" that could =
have been written by French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, who =
seems never to have a bad hair day.=20
The "Axis of Israel Next" really consists of France, Germany, =
and England. Mostly England, at the moment, whose Jack Straw repeatedly =
talks about his wonderful conversations with Chairman, or President, =
Arafat. Is there something wrong with this picture? Here's some typical =
language from Blair, Straw and Company...=20
We are so pleased that PRESIDENT Yasser Arafat is appointing a =
PRIME MINISTER who is to be approved by the Palestinian LEGISLATURE.=20
You mean all this time there's been ANOTHER government operating =
inside Israel? Doing business passing laws, drafting "constitutions," =
meeting foreign heads of state...=20
Guess so, especially when even the President of the World =
expects "peace and security" from Murder, Inc. and its Mobster in Chief, =
Yasser Arafat.=20
Even the Prime Minister supports that two-state solution.=20
I mean the one named Ariel, not Abu.=20
Jack Engelhard is the author of the international bestseller =
"Indecent Proposal" and is a former radio and newspaper editor covering =
the Mideast and former American volunteer in the Israeli Defense Forces. =

6. HIGHLIGHT ARTICLES
a.. Human Rights and the New Anti-Jewishness: Sounding the =
Alarm What we are witnessing today =AD which has been developing =
incrementally, almost imperceptibly, and sometimes indulgently, for some =
thirty years now =AD is a new, virulent, globalizing and even lethal =
anti-Jewishness reminiscent of the atmospherics of the 1930s, and =
without parallel or precedent since the end of the Second World War.=20
b.. Laundering Abu Mazen Merely the fact that he has been =
selected by arch-terrorist Arafat to take on the mantle of authority =
should already give pause to those committed to fighting terrorism. In =
fact, anyone involved with the corrupt, duplicitous terrorist =
organization called the PLO =97 Abu Mazen is the head of its executive =
committee =97 should by now be considered unfit to lead anything but a =
prison-work detail. Beyond his senior position in the PLO, however, Abu =
Mazen is also a Holocaust revisionist, a conspiracy theorist, and a =
promoter of terrorism.=20
c.. The Ugly Truth Critics of Israel swallow the notion that =
the terrorists are fringe elements in their society and that the =
Palestinian Authority has done its utmost to rein them in and that it =
condemns their activities. But they seem to have missed the =
disconcerting truth about the PA=20
d.. Fight the Canard The thrust of the article was that even =
though the myth of a Jewish conspiracy directing American foreign policy =
is preposterous, it nevertheless exists, persists and is believed by =
hundreds of millions throughout the world - and by millions in the =
United States itself.=20

he has pushed Yasser Arafat into a corner, courageously stood up =
to=20
Saddam Hussein, underlined the need for democratization of the =
Arab=20
world and launched a far-reaching global war on terror.
<P>It may sound cliched, but he is by far "the best friend =
Israel has=20
had in the White House" in a good long time.=20
<P>AND THAT is what makes his latest remarks so puzzling.=20
<P>For as a number of recent stories in the US press have made =
amply=20
clear, Bush is a religious man who takes his Christian faith =
seriously.=20
And yet, if Jesus were alive today, the US State Department =
would likely=20
criticize him for being a Jewish settler and an obstacle to =
peace.=20
<P>After all, according to the New Testament, Jesus was a Jew =
born in=20
Bethlehem, which is south of Jerusalem, in what Colin Powell =
considers=20
the "occupied territory" of Judea. His parents were Jews who =
undoubtedly=20
prayed at a local Bethlehem synagogue, learned Torah at a local =
study=20
hall, and bought food at the local kosher marketplace.
<P>Thus they were Jewish settlers in every respect.=20
<P>Needless to say, the New Testament itself contains no mention =
of the=20
word "Palestine" or "Palestinians," for the simple reason that =
they did=20
not exist. All told, in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, =
the=20
terms "Judah" or "Judea" appear 877 times, and "Samaria" is used =
on 123=20
occasions. There is no reference to phrases such as the "West =
Bank" or=20
"occupied territories," as Islam had not yet even come into =
being.=20
<P>It is therefore hard to understand why the president would =
consent to=20
pressure Israel to turn over Judea, Samaria and Gaza to the=20
Palestinians, for he would appear to be acting contrary to what =
his own=20
hallowed text seems to demonstrate, namely, that these areas =
belong to=20
the Jewish people and no one else.=20
<P>The same goes for Israel's capital, where many of the events =
in the=20
Christian bible, such as the last supper on Mount Zion, the =
denunciation=20
in the Garden of Gethsemane and the crucifixion on Golgotha are =
all=20
described as having taken place in Jerusalem in Roman-occupied =
Jewish=20
Jerusalem, that is.=20
<P>Hence, Christians who accept Palestinian demands to Jerusalem =
are=20
essentially denying the validity of their own traditions.
<P>It is imperative, then, that American Christian supporters of =
Israel=20
launch an all-out effort to remind Bush of these facts and =
counter the=20
pressure he is coming under from the likes of Tony Blair and =
Colin=20
Powell.=20
<P>Bush is an honest and decent man, true to himself and his =
belief=20
system. But he is facing enormous pressure to mollify the Arabs =
at the=20
expense of the Jewish state, and he will therefore need a great =
deal of=20
public backing if he is to stand up to it.=20
<P>Since Bush is a man of faith, Christian supporters of Israel =
should=20
appeal to him using a faith-based approach, pointing out that =
the New=20
Testament he professes to believe in provides ample evidence =
that places=20
such as Bethlehem and Hebron have nothing to do with the =
Palestinians,=20
and everything to do with Israel.=20
<P>Of course I, as a Jew, personally look to the Torah for =
validation of=20
my people's unbreakable connection to the Land of Israel and =
exclusive=20
rights to it. As far as I am concerned the views of the Prophets =
take=20
precedence over those of Colin Powell any day.=20
<P>Once the war in Iraq is over, though, Bush will likely have =
to make a=20
choice between the two.
<P>Now is the time for American Christians to speak out and =
remind him=20
that when it comes to politics versus prophecy, the man of faith =
must=20
ultimately follow his heart.=20

<P>Mr. President, we lost at the U.N. Badly. But that signal =
defeat had=20
one significant side benefit. For the first time, Americans got =
to see=20
what the U.N. truly is. The experience has been bracing. The =
result has=20
been an enormous and salutary shift in American public opinion.=20
<P>You've seen the polls: 75 percent of Americans disapprove of =

Today,=20
after the U.N. debacle, 71 percent support the war regardless.=20
<P>What happened? Americans finally had a look inside the =
