NOT 'PAINFUL CONCESSIONS'.. BUT SUICIDE
By Stan Goodenough - JNW Editorial - Jerusalem - May 16, 2003=20
Israel lives in the real world in which, if the nation is to =
survive, it must call a spade a spade.=20
Let's take a closer look at what it is being called.=20
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon talks about Israel's willingness to =
make "painful concessions" in order to try (note try) and make peace =
with the Palestinians.=20
Colin Powell calls them "compromises."=20
Other world leaders call them "risks for peace."=20
It's not clear what risks, compromises or painful concessions the =
Palestinians have made or are being asked to make in order for them to =
reap the benefits of living in peace with their Jewish neighbors.=20
People who never comprised a nation and thus never had a national =
home are being given a national home all of their own. In order to =
acquire this home, they don't have to pay any money, and when they take =
possession of it they will not only get the keys to its doors, but will =
get immunity from prosecution for all the pain, suffering, terror and =
death they have sowed in their quest to receive it.=20
The compromises/concessions Israel is expected to make comprise a =
short but devastating list:=20
Israel, who has lost nearly 1000 of its people to acts of Arab =
terror in the past two-and-a-half years alone, and who has seen many =
thousands more wounded, must agree to pull its forces out of the =
terrorist breeding grounds, thereby radically increasing the risk of =
renewed widespread attacks on its people.=20
In actual fact, not only will Israel's withdrawal increase that =
risk, it will without question lead directly to more violence resulting =
in the loss of more Jewish lives and the dismemberment of more Jewish =
families.=20
So the "compromises" Israel must make will include payment in =
Jewish blood. Bottom line here: Israel is being asked to accept the =
sacrificing of Jewish lives to appease Arab hatred. That the deaths will =
do nothing of the kind is really almost academic.=20
That's painful concession number 1.=20
Next, the Arabs insist that their new state will be judenrein - =
free of Jews.=20
Israel, who, in wars of self defense took Judea, Samaria and Gaza =
from the hands of occupying Arab states who had no right to be there, =
and who has since poured billions of dollars into founding beautiful =
modern towns and cities with homes for hundreds of thousands of its =
people on state-controlled and not privately owned lands, will have to =
agree to pull those people out of their homes, transfer them to behind =
the 1967 borders, probably in many instances by force. And Israel will =
have to find the enormous amounts of money needed to compensate them for =
the homes and lands they have had to lose.=20
So, Israel has to give away billions of dollars worth of =
cultivated lands and physical structures together with power grids and =
water supplies and gardens and roads to Arabs who have not spent a cent =
on any of that infrastructure and who insist that it is their right to =
inherit it, and that it is Israel's obligation to relinquish those =
rights to these communities and to foot the bill for doing so.=20
This is painful concession number 2, another risk Israel must take =
for peace. Needless to say, if that risk is not rewarded with peace (as =
it won't be) Israel will not be able to walk in and reclaim what is =
rightfully hers.=20
And then Israel, whose national identity was forged in Shechem and =
Hebron and Bethlehem and Shiloh and Bethel; Israel, the founders of =
whose faith lie buried in those Judean hills, and whose ancestors ruled =
and reigned over those lands before being driven from them by their =
Roman occupiers; the Jewish people, who for millennia, scattered =
everywhere across the globe, faithfully prayed every single day to =
return to these lands - Israel is being told to close the door on the =
4000 years of its history and kiss those lands goodbye.=20
It matters not how many reams and volumes have been written =
claiming the Arabs have national rights to these lands, they have no =
such rights simply because they have never possessed these lands. They =
are not Arab lands - that is one of the most bald-faced lies of all =
time. They are Jewish lands, and the Jewish people are being asked to =
surrender them, to give them away, to turn their backs on them and let a =
people that has never been a nation take permanent possession of them =
for themselves.=20
And to add vinegar to gall, the precious land Israel is expected =
to relinquish so painfully will be received as a reward for their hatred =
and mass murder by the Arabs who will STILL see the Jews as sons of pigs =
and monkeys and who will STILL believe that eventually their Allah will =
give the rest of the Jews' lands into their hands.=20
This is concession number three.=20
It's not a misnomer to call these painful concessions. It's a =
deception.=20
For what Israel is being asked to "pay for peace" (a peace that =
will not come even if the payments are made) are excruciating, agonizing =
sacrifices - economic sacrifices when its economy is on the rocks, the =
sacrifice of its patrimony, its historical lands and the remains of its =
forefathers, and the sacrifice of the lives of its own people.=20
From such sacrifices no nation could recover; if Israel makes =
them, it will likely not survive. Certainly no other people has ever =
been asked, much less told, to do anything comparable at all.=20
Painful concessions, risks for peace, compromises - these all mean =
the same thing: In this instance they all spell "spade." The spade that =
would dig Israel's grav=20

1. A MAP FOR SHIFTING SANDS
By Moshe Arens - Ha'aretzDaily.com - May 16, 2003=20
Give a map to a traveler who is in a hostile environment, trying =
to find his way through shifting sands, and it isn't likely to be of =
much use to him. If, in addition, he is traversing earthquake country, =
he might as well throw the map away. Under such circumstances, he should =
concentrate on staying alive and using his common sense.=20
Unfortunately, the Middle East now resembles an area of shifting =
sands, with an occasional earthquake, more than an area of fixed =
topography in which a road map might come in handy.=20
Israelis remember another road map, drawn up at Oslo a few years =
ago, designating routes, milestones and dates of arrival. Its architects =
received the Nobel Peace Prize for that masterpiece but it has ended up =
in history's dustbin. It was overtaken by shifting sands and local =
earthquakes before it could become a useful navigational aid.=20
It is difficult to blame Israelis if some of the promoters of the =
latest road map arouse a certain degree of suspicion regarding their =
intentions and good judgment. The reference is, of course, to three in =
the quartet: the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations.=20
The abject behavior of the two leading members of the European =
Union - France and Germany - in the months leading up to the U.S. =
operation in Iraq will not be quickly forgotten. The mixture of narrow =
domestic political interests and just plain poor judgment hardly =
qualifies them as Middle East peacemakers. Russia's Putin followed in =
their footsteps for reasons best known to himself and Kofi Annan, the UN =
secretary-general, also did not distinguish himself during the past few =
months.=20
All of them have their own ax to grind and seem to believe that =
imposing a road map on Israel will permit them to stage a comeback to =
international respectability. That kind of a road map we certainly do =
not need.=20
The fact is, the region is unstable and, therefore, unpredictable. =
Will Yasser Arafat control his newly anointed Prime Minister Mahmoud =
Abbas or will Abbas succeed in breaking loose from Arafat's control? Are =
Abbas and his security aide, Mohammed Dahlan, intent on taking on Hamas, =
Islamic Jihad, and the Al Aqsa Brigades, and are they capable of =
overpowering them? One thing is sure: There will be no progress toward =
stability and peace until Palestinian terrorism ends.=20
During the past year, the Israel Defense Forces has proven it is =
capable of bringing about a very substantial reduction in acts of =
terrorism. Letting the Palestinians complete the job may at first sight =
seem like an attractive option, until we remember that this has been =
tried before with disastrous results. Now that the IDF is close to =
scoring a decisive victory over Palestinian terror, we should not permit =
defeat to be pulled from the jaws of victory.=20
Those who do not delude themselves into thinking that a detailed =
future can be mapped out for the Middle East might try to gaze over the =
horizon and examine some of the possible alternatives. A Palestinian =
state is not the only alternative, and may not even be the best for =
Israelis and Palestinians alike. For Israelis, it raises the fear of a =
terrorist state on Israel's doorstep, a springboard for acts of violence =
against Israel's civilian population. For Palestinians, it may mean a =
continuation of the disasters that Arafat's terror campaign has foisted =
on them these past few years.=20
Although the thought may cause heartburn in Amman, it should be =
remembered that Jordan is a Palestinian state in everything but name; =
that Judea and Samaria were annexed by Jordan after 1948 and remained an =
integral part of Jordan until the Six-Day War; and that Jordanian =
citizenship was bestowed on the population there.=20
Establishing a second Palestinian state may not be the only =
alternative regional future. At present, there is justified concern that =
the inclusion of additional Palestinians in Jordan might destabilize the =
Hashemite regime, which has been determined and effective in stamping =
out terrorism and maintaining peaceful relations with Israel. But that =
risk may decrease in time. It would certainly be easier to resolve some =
of the outstanding problems at issue between Israel and the =
Palestinians, such as border location and the status of Jerusalem, if =
Jordan were to be the partner for negotiations.=20
That does not appear on the road map being marketed at present, =
but may in time be more constructive and realistic.=20

2. CODDLING HEZBOLLAH -- AGAIN
Editorial - National Post - Friday, May 16, 2003=20
L National Post Canadian political and media elites have a soft =
spot for Hezbollah. Last December, recall, our Foreign Ministry sought =
to block the murderous Lebanese outfit from being branded a terrorist =
organization because -- notwithstanding its long list of bomb attacks =
against Western targets -- the group's non-military wing engages in =
various humanitarian and political activities. When Hezbollah was banned =
anyway, the CBC tried to impugn the decision. TV reporter Neil =
Macdonald, for instance, wondered aloud whether the group was not a =
"national liberation movement" unfairly smeared by "supporters" of the =
Jewish state (whoever those might be). CBC Radio reporter Evan Dyer, =
meanwhile, called Hezbollah part of the "Lebanese establishment." When =
later questioned whether it was not also a terrorist group, Mr. Dyer =
demurred that the T-word has "[no] place in journalism."=20
Fortunately, such Hezbollah apologism has died away in recent =
months -- in part thanks to the group's militant posturing. On March 13, =
Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, declared his =
organization's slogan "was and will remain 'death to America.' " The =
same month, Hezbollah's television network began running music videos =
urging suicide attacks against U.S. forces in the region, and an =
Argentine court declared there was evidence that Hezbollah had helped =
orchestrate the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos =
Aires that left 85 people dead. (Jeffrey Goldberg had already reported =
much the same thing in The New Yorker. But as late as last December, Mr. =
Dyer was still insisting on CBC that he was in Buenos Aires when the =
bombing occurred, and it "had not been pinned on Hezbollah.")=20
And yet, here we are again. Yesterday, the National Post reported =
that an asylum applicant who had helped Israel fight Hezbollah in =
southern Lebanon has been branded a "war criminal" by Canadian =
immigration authorities. The Lebanese man, identified only as "Mr. X" by =
the Immigration and Refugee Board, is not accused of harming Hezbollah =
members directly. But he did supply Israeli intelligence with names and =
other information about Hezbollah during the period when the Israeli =
army occupied part of Lebanon to prevent attacks on northern Israel. =
According to a lawyer from Canada's Immigration Ministry, this means Mr. =
X was complicit in "crimes against humanity" perpetrated against =
Hezbollah members by Israel and an allied militia -- including torture =
and murder. The IRB agreed, and Mr. X was denied asylum.=20
For all we know, Mr. X has already been deported to Lebanon. =
(Indeed, he may have already been set upon by the Hezbollah thugs =
Canadian refugee law was supposed to protect him from.) But if he is =
still on Canadian shores, we hope Mr. X appeals the IRB's decision to =
the Federal Court. We are not usually a fan of dilatory refugee =
proceedings. But this is an exception. Hezbollah is a terrorist group: =
Our government has already officially declared as much. Mr. X should not =
be barred from Canada for assisting in the fight against it.=20
Indeed, Mr. X is doing exactly what we would expect any Canadian =
citizen to do under the circumstances -- provide information to the =
authorities about the activities of terrorists. Rather than condemning =
him to a life of imprisonment, or worse, in a Lebanese jail, perhaps we =
should put him on the payroll of our own intelligence service.=20

3. CONCRETE SEPARATION, NOT ROAD MAPS
By Gerald M. Steinberg - May. 15, 2003=20
After every new terror bombing or drive-by murder committed by =
Yasser Arafat's thugs, few Israelis look to Washington and the latest =
peace plan for answers.=20
Instead, the immediate response is to check the progress of the =
concrete barrier being built along the seam line separating the =
Palestinian and Israeli populations in Judea and Samaria.=20
After the catastrophic failure of the Oslo "peace process" three =
years ago, the Israeli public has shown increasing support for a =
unilateral divorce, heralded by the construction of a fence extending =
from Afula to Jerusalem.=20
The government has moved slowly in grasping that this is the best, =
and probably the only realistic option. Discussions began five years ago =
during the Ehud Barak government, but construction only started last =
year, following public demands generated by the inhumanly brutal suicide =
attacks. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was and remains less than =
enthusiastic about unilateral separation, and funding problems have =
slowed the building process.=20
But continued public attention has kept the barrier at the top of =
the national agenda. The first 11-kilometer stretch from Jenin to =
Mei-Ami and Wadi Ara has been completed, with segments enclosing =
Jerusalem to be finished soon.=20
The rest, approximately 600 km., is in various stages of =
construction, but should be ready within the year. When complete, the =
combination of a concrete wall, trenches, electronic sensors and patrol =
roads will certainly impede terrorist access to Israeli cities. While =
the attention of diplomats and journalists is focused obsessively and =
mistakenly on peace plans and road maps, the reality on the ground is =
centered on unilateral divorce through the construction of the =
separation barrier. And while Sharon and other officials try to =
distinguish between security separation and a political division, once =
the barrier is built it will constitute a de-facto border.=20
Just like other borders around the world, whether negotiated or =
the result of war, this seam line will have a number of official =
crossings for the exchange of goods and, if conditions allow, the =
movement of workers, tourists, and other visitors. Instead of merely =
walking across from Kalkilya to Kfar Saba, or Ramallah and Modi'in, =
Palestinians will require passports and visas, or their equivalent.=20
SINCE NO barrier is impermeable, and some terrorists may still get =
through, under or over (using missiles), the IDF is also developing =
appropriate security measures. To prevent the manufacture of explosives =
and missiles, Israeli military forces will continue to operate as =
necessary on the Palestinian side of the barrier. Beyond the reduction =
in the terrorist threat, unilateral separation provides a credible =
response to the demographic threat, and the centrality of preserving the =
Jewish and democratic nature of Israeli society.=20
Without borders, the majority population in a single political =
entity between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River will soon be =
Palestinian, and eventually, Jews would become a minority in an Arab and =
Islamic state. This situation would reverse the historic accomplishments =
of the Zionist movement and the reestablishment of Jewish =
self-determination. Indeed, some Palestinians see the combination of =
perpetual negotiations and terrorism as a way to keep Israel in a =
demographic trap.=20
In contrast, unilateral separation will undermine the Palestinian =
rejectionist position by visibly demonstrating that the goal of =
reversing the 1947 UN Partition Resolution legitimizing the creation of =
a Jewish state is unattainable.=20
To disengage politically and socially from most of the Palestinian =
population, it will also be necessary to remove isolated settlements on =
the other side of the security barrier that are difficult or costly to =
defend. Such marginal settlements make poor bargaining chips for =
permanent-status negotiations that are unlikely to ever take place. And =
at this stage in the conflict, unilateral disengagement and withdrawal =
from settlements would not become a reward for terrorism, as some =
officials fear.=20
In Arafat's 32-month terror campaign, the Palestinians have =
learned that Israel is not on the verge of collapse, and that the =
withdrawal from Lebanon actually strengthened Israel's position. The =
same is true for closing the isolated settlements and reducing the =
highways and roads that the IDF must defend against terror attacks.=20
At the same time, such extensive unilateral disengagement will =
reduce the daily friction between the populations, and allow for the =
removal of many of the IDF checkpoints between Palestinian villages and =
cities.=20
Politically, disengagement will not be easy for any government, =
and any effort to close even very small settlements with no security =
role will be very difficult for Ariel Sharon, despite the broad support =
for such policies nationally. And the Palestinians and their proponents =
will continue their propaganda campaign, using terms like apartheid and =
racism to demonize the policy of separation. This rhetoric will have to =
be countered by demonstrating that disengagement is the only realistic =
way to end the hatred and violence that has propelled the conflict for =
generations.=20
The process of unilateral disengagement is being ignored by =
officials, particularly from Europe, whose sense of self-importance =
through pilgrimages to Arafat will be further deflated. However, given =
that the status quo is intolerable and the road map is dead in the =
water, separation, warts and all, becomes the only remaining realistic =
option. The quicker we get on with it, the better for all.=20
The writer is director of the Program on Conflict Management and =
Negotiation at Bar-Ilan University.

4. BUSH'S ROAD MAP TO BITBURG
by Jack Engelhard - May 15, 2003=20
Ronald Reagan was a beloved president, deservedly, but he made one =
huge mistake.=20
"That place, Mr. President, is not your place," warned Elie =
Wiesel.=20
But Reagan would not listen. On May 5, 1985, to appease West =
German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Reagan visited Bitburg's Kolmeshohe =
Cemetery, where some 2,000 German servicemen were buried - among them, =
49 members of Hitler's Waffen SS. The President of the United States =
spent eight haunting minutes there in Bitburg, and laid a wreath on that =
place.=20
Those eight minutes were costly.=20
According to the Wisdom of Our Fathers: "Do not fraternize with =
the wicked, and do not abandon belief in divine retribution."=20
Wiesel, a spiritual man, was not idling when he voiced poetic =
emphasis on the word "place." We do not know the "place" where holiness =
resides, but we should know where evil dwells.=20
Reagan's tragic mistake is coming around again with a new =
president and a new Bitburg, now called the Road Map, the main sponsors =
of which are the Europeans (the movers within the Quartet) and the main =
purpose of which is to destroy the Land of Israel. This current =
president seems as motivated to appease Tony Blair as Reagan was =
motivated to appease Helmut Kohl. Just the other day, George W. Bush =
said, "America will work without tiring" for the creation of a =
Palestinian state.=20
We can only hope this is temporary blindness. Once again a =
European booby-trap has been set to ensnare an American president. The =
Road Map is to Bush what Bitburg was to Reagan. Reagan had to choose, =
and he chose, and now Bush must choose. The blood of Six Million cry out =
again for an understanding heart.=20
A vibrant Israel waits. Will Bush extend his arm to that company =
of scorners, or will he seek the Bible that he professes to embrace? As =
a man of faith, he knows what is above him =C8=CE "an eye sees, an ear =
hears, and all our deeds are recorded in a Book." Whichever way he =
chooses, it will be remembered, it will be recorded.=20
Only George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, =
has the power to hold off the European and Arab stampede to wipe Israel =
off the map. Only Bush can say =A1=A7yes=A1=A8 to Israel, =A1=A7no=A1=A8 =
to Powell, Blair, Kofi and Abu. To Bush we can only say, echoing Wiesel, =
"This Road Map, Mr. President, is not your Road Map." Sharon's spokesman =
Ranaan Gissin said: "Don't mess with us." A Higher Voice said it =
differently: "Do not touch My anointed ones."=20
This can only be a warning. Let the Europeans trifle with it, and =
learn divine retribution, but not our president, whose mighty prestige =
should not be up for sale in the marketplace of treachery. There's still =
time to turn this around, away, far from "the gathering of evil-doers."=20
To date, this president has been a success, and the prayers of =
Christians and Jews are with him. We may even guess that the prayers of =
God are with him, for we have it from tradition that God Himself dons =
holy garments and "prays." Surely, then, He prays that our president =
will serve as His surrogate and "break the yoke of the nations from our =
neck, and speedily lead us upright to our land."=20
As Harry S. Truman, of loving memory, held Israel in the palm of =
his hand, so does Bush. This is his chance to prosper or wither.=20
There are questions for Bush to answer. But let him not answer for =
the sake of America, nor even for the sake of Israel. A Higher Power =
sits in judgment, even above the Oval Office.=20
Jack Engelhard is the author of the international bestseller =
Indecent Proposal and is a former radio and newspaper editor covering =
the Mideast, as well as a former American volunteer in the Israeli =
