1. A 'ROAD MAP' TO NOWHERE
By Jeff Jacoby - Boston Globe - August 3, 2003=20
THE US-SPONSORED ''road map'' to peace between Israel and the =
Palestinians is not a very challenging document. The text is only 41/2 =
pages long. Anyone willing to invest 15 minutes in reading it can glean =
a pretty good idea of its terms.=20
And yet a surprising number of people one might expect to be =
familiar with the road map seem not to know what it says.=20
Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, for example.=20
In an interview last week with Lally Weymouth of Newsweek and The =
Washington Post, Abbas said he had discussed the road map four times =
with Ariel Sharon and was ''waiting to see'' if the Israeli leader would =
deliver on his commitments.=20
''Does that mean freezing settlements?'' Weymouth asked.=20
''Not this only,'' Abbas answered, ''but all the items stipulated =
in the road map - freeing the prisoners ... ''=20
''But the issue of prisoners is not in the road map,'' Weymouth =
said.=20
''It is in the road map,'' insisted Abbas.=20
In fact, it isn't in the road map. There is nothing at all in the =
blueprint that requires or even encourages Israel to release =
Palestinians arrested for terrorist activities. It is hardly plausible =
that Abbas didn't know that. More likely, he knew it perfectly well - =
but figured most Washington Post and Newsweek readers wouldn't.=20
After all, in the weeks leading up to President Bush's =
back-to-back summits with Abbas and Sharon, the media harped incessantly =
on the release of Palestinian prisoners as a critical step in the latest =
Middle East peace process. Some reporters noted in passing that the road =
map doesn't mention prisoners, but others falsely implied - or stated =
outright - that freeing criminals was an obligation the agreement =
imposes on Israel.=20
The week Abbas arrived in Washington, for example, the Post was =
reporting that ''the road map has stalled over several key issues,'' =
including ''Palestinian demands for ... the release of thousands of =
Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.'' A few days earlier, the Los =
Angeles Times informed its readers that Sharon and Abbas were to discuss =
''ongoing steps under the peace plan known as the `road map,' including =
the release of some Palestinian prisoners.''=20
Last week, succumbing to the international pressure, Israel agreed =
to free 540 prisoners, including 210 members of the terrorist =
organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The Israeli government promised =
not to release any prisoners ''with blood on their hands,'' but time and =
again that is exactly what it has done.=20
In June, for example, as a goodwill gesture to Abbas, Israel freed =
more than 100 imprisoned Palestinians. One of them was Ahmed Jbarra, who =
murdered 14 people and wounded 60 in a horrific bombing in 1975. Upon =
his release, the unrepentant Jbarra was hailed by Palestinians as a hero =
and promptly named an ''adviser'' to Yasser Arafat. Soon after, The =
Jerusalem Post reported, he was publicly urging Palestinians to kidnap =
Israelis so they could be exchanged for even more prisoners.=20
But none of that got much attention outside Israel, where the =
focus has moved on to what else Israel should be doing to keep the road =
map alive. Much has been made of the security wall Israel is building =
along the West Bank border. Palestinian demands that Israel demolish the =
wall have gotten a great deal of attention; so has the Bush =
administration's public criticism. And yet the wall too is something =
about which the road map says absolutely nothing.=20
By contrast, it says a great deal about what the Palestinian =
Authority is supposed to do. The PA's foremost obligation, more critical =
to the road map's success than anything else, is to crush the terrorists =
who have shed so much blood.=20
The language is explicit: The PA must ''declare an unequivocal end =
to violence and terrorism.'' It must ''arrest, disrupt, and restrain =
individuals and groups conducting and planning violent attacks on =
Israelis anywhere.'' It must end ''all official ... incitement against =
Israel.'' Above all, it must carry out the ''dismantlement of terrorist =
capability and infrastructure.'' These are not goodwill gestures. They =
are mandatory commitments the Palestinians must fulfill if the road map =
is to go forward.=20
So far they have fulfilled none of them. The anti-Israel =
incitement continues. Terrorism has not stopped. As for the dismantling =
of terrorist groups, Abbas says bluntly that it will never happen.=20
''Cracking down on Hamas, [Islamic] Jihad, and the Palestinian =
organizations,'' he said on July 23, ''is not an option at all.''=20
It is the Oslo farce all over again: Israel weakens itself through =
concessions on the ground. The Palestinians pocket the concessions, then =
break their promise of peace.=20
However well meant, this is a road map to nowhere. It will not =
lead to genuine peace, not so long as the Palestinians are ruled by the =
likes of Arafat and Abbas. Terrorism made them what they are; it is the =
taproot of their power and influence. From such men, peace will never =
come.=20
The indispensable first step to Mideast peace remains what it =
always has been: a new and different Palestinian leadership, one not =
compromised by terror. Until that leadership appears, the violence and =
bloodshed will go on.=20

2. SHARON IS READY TO POUND PALESTINIANS THE WAY BUSH WHIPPED =
SADDAM
By Zev Chafets - Jewishworldreview.com - August 5, 2003=20
The Pentagon has dropped its scheme to create a stock market for =
investors who want to trade in international disasters. Too bad. I was =
planning to make a bundle on Palestinian futures. Naturally, I intended =
to sell short. You can't go wrong betting on the Palestinian genius for =
self-inflicted disaster.=20
Last week, on a visit to Jerusalem, House Majority Leader Tom =
DeLay, R-Texas, described the ceasefire between Israel and the =
Palestinians as "paper-thin." That overestimates the durability of =
paper. All signs point to an outbreak of fighting by the end of the =
summer.=20
The Palestinians lost the last intifadeh, which is why they asked =
for a ceasefire. And they will lose the next. The difference is, this =
time it will be Israel's intifadeh. And America won't be there to stop =
it. In fact, the United States will be rooting Israel on.=20
The Palestinians were warned about this when Prime Minister =
Mahmoud Abbas visited the White House last month. Abbas came with =
complaints: the security fence (Abbas calls it a wall) Israel is =
building across the West Bank, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's refusal to =
open the prison gates and release thousands of inmates and the general =
difficulties of life under occupation.=20
President Bush was polite. He agreed that the fence might be a =
problem, although he didn't sound as if he cared much - an impression =
confirmed during Sharon's subsequent visit to Washington. On the other =
hand, Bush was unsympathetic on the subject of releasing terrorists and =
downright hostile to the Palestinian claim that under the terms of the =
road map, they are obligated to nothing more than a ceasefire.=20
In the road map, the Palestinians agreed to make "visible efforts =
on the ground to arrest, disrupt and restrain individuals and groups =
conducting and planning violent attacks on Israelis anywhere." In other =
words, Abbas and his colleagues have promised to take on Hamas, Islamic =
Jihad, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the rest of the armed terrorist =
groups.=20
Obviously, the Palestinians knew this when they signed up for the =
road map. What they didn't know is that Bush would hold them to it. As =
the late Udai Hussein observed, in a related context, Bush isn't like =
Bill Clinton. The president is deadly serious about fighting terrorism, =
including Palestinian terrorism. And so is Sharon (you could say he =
isn't Ehud Barak).=20
"For the past three years, we have paid a heavy price for Israel's =
restraint over the daily violations of the Oslo Accords," he told the =
graduating class of Israel's National Defense College last week.=20
But that's all over now. Sharon is demanding nothing less than "a =
total cessation of violence" and "the fulfillment of every obligation =
included in the road map." In plain Hebrew, this means that if the =
Palestinians don't go after the terrorists, he will.=20
The day after Sharon's speech, Palestinian security chief Mohammed =
Dahlan responded by saying he would not disarm Hamas and other groups =
because it would lead to a civil war. He's calling Sharon's bluff. And =
Bush's.=20
This will be a painful mistake. Sharon and Bush are operating =
under the same motto: Bring 'em on.=20
Sharon has been building toward this moment since he became prime =
minister. First, by retaking the West Bank in the spring of 2002, he =
exploded the myth that the Palestinians could win a guerrilla war. Then =
he isolated and discredited Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Finally, =
he pounded the Palestinians into exhaustion, forcing them to ask for a =
temporary truce.=20
None of this could have come to pass without the backing of the =
Israeli public - or the support of the Bush administration. The price of =
this support was signing up for the road map. Sharon - who doesn't =
necessarily want the Palestinian state the plan envisions - was ready to =
pay. He figured Abbas' check would bounce, and then he'd get a refund =
from the Americans.=20
Sharon seems to have been banking on a sure thing. Palestinian =
terror groups already are engaged in a recruiting drive and an effort to =
replenish their weapons, including stocks of crude mortars. Arafat is =
stridently calling Abbas' patriotism and manhood into question. It's =
just a matter of time before the Palestinians whip themselves into a =
delusional state of righteous indignation over Israeli crimes, real and =
imagined. Then the shooting starts - and Israel's intifadeh.=20
The campaign Sharon has planned will take its tactical cues from =
U.S. operations in Iraq. Rules of engagement will be the same. Leaders =
once considered immune - the chief of Hamas, the heads of Islamic Jihad =
in Damascus and perhaps Arafat himself - will get the Saddam Hussein =
treatment.=20
When the fighting stops, Sharon intends for the Fatah-dominated =
Palestinian Authority to be as dead as the Iraqi Baath Party. Any future =
Palestinian government will have to conform to the criteria America has =
set for self-government in Baghdad: constitutional government and a full =
commitment to peace.=20
It is, of course, unclear that the United States can pull this off =
in Iraq. And it is perhaps even less likely that it will work in the =
West Bank and Gaza. But that doesn't trouble Sharon. Having adopted the =
American gold standard, he comes out ahead. Pentagon stock market or no, =
Palestinian futures are a loser.=20

3. THE DAY I WAS BANISHED
By Stan Goodenough - Jerusalem Newswire - August 6, 2003=20
Modified from the original that was published in The Jerusalem =
Post in 1994.
Something strange happened to me on the Temple Mount a few weeks =
ago.=20
There, for the first time in all the years I have been in Israel, =
I was physically accosted while praying and forced to leave the area, =
which, while under Muslim oversight, is territorially part of the =
sovereign State of Israel.=20
This state has long prided itself in guaranteeing adherents of all =
religions freedom to enter and worship at sites special to them. As a =
Christian, I enjoyed the security provided by this policy - until I went =
to pray on the Temple Mount.=20
It is perplexing enough for me, a Gentile, to try and understand =
how the Jewish authorities could ever have agreed, in 1967, to limit =
their nation's access to Judaism's most holy site. It is even more =
difficult to accept that this strong, sovereign Jewish state is now =
moving to reinforce this situation.=20
And as for the deafening silence greeting this decision, I find =
its nearly universal acceptance by Jews in Israel and abroad totally =
incomprehensible.=20
Have I got this right?=20
The Jewish nation believes it has every right to its homeland here =
in Israel. Many base their claim on their biblical history. For them, no =
dichotomy exists between biblical history and the extra-scriptural =
history of the last 2000 years.=20
Christians comprehend this Jewish history, as it pertains to the =
Temple Mount, as follows:=20
Around 3000 years ago, King Solomon built the first Temple on that =
hill. The Bible tells us that, after he dedicated the Temple, fire fell =
from heaven and the divine presence filled the sanctuary. (Of special =
interest to Christians is Solomon's prayer that the God of Israel would =
also hear the prayers of foreigners who come to pray on the Mount.)=20
So began the most glorious era the Jewish nation ever knew, with =
Israel's borders secured and extending further than at any other time in =
history.=20
Tragically, their forefathers lost their fear of God and, as a =
result, Israel fell in battle and was exiled. But as they longed for =
their land and prayed to return, Israel's prophets encouraged them with =
promises that they would be restored.=20
They did return, and built the Second Temple, before being =
defeated in battle again and driven into exile for nearly 2000 =
pain-filled years.=20
For centuries, their communities were scattered among the nations =
of the world; welcomed by few, pursued by most. Looking back, it is as =
if virtually the whole Gentile world was intent on their destruction.=20
And yet, in their synagogues, on the numerous roads of their =
exile, hounded and hunted by Christian and Muslim, the Jews held fast to =
the belief that one day they would return to Israel, to Jerusalem, and =
ultimately to their Temple Mount. And they looked forward to the day =
when God's glory would be restored to them, and Israel would indeed be a =
light to the nations.=20
Eventually, their numbers decimated by antisemitic tyranny, the =
remnant of what should have been one of the mightiest nations in =
existence began making its way home.=20
The rest is recent history. In 1948, Jewish dominion was restored =
to part of the land. Arab wars of aggression led to the extension of =
that sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and Gaza and, =
finally - on that glorious day - over all Jerusalem.=20
And then, for some unfathomable reason, the Jews stopped. Although =
the ultimate answer to their centuries of praying and longing was at =
last within legal reach, they permitted the Temple Mount to remain in =
Muslim hands.=20
Instead of opening the way for rebuilding their Temple, they =
restricted themselves to further decades of praying at a ruined Herodian =
wall. Until today, Jews and Christians are barred from praying openly on =
the Mount. And now their authorities are virtually unopposed in their =
decision to uphold this status quo.=20
Modern-day Israel makes much - not without justification - of its =
policy of guaranteeing free and protected access to all religious holy =
places in Jerusalem. It is historical fact that, before the restoration =
of Jewish sovereignty, the sites sacred to Judaism - and Christianity - =
were anything but unrestricted or protected.=20
Following the extensive improvement in this situation during the =
past 36 years, many Christians want Israel to retain sovereignty over =
the Mount - and over all the sites Christians hold dear, including many =
of Judaism's.=20
At the very least, should Israel not confine Islamic custodianship =
on the Temple Mount to the inner walls of its mosques and open the rest =
of the hill to all Jews and Christians wishing to pray there?=20
As a Christian who loves the nation who gave me my Bible, my =
commandments and my Messiah, and who aches to see an end to the =
suffering of the Jews, I join with them in longing for the day when true =
and lasting peace will come to this land.=20
But how can it come, I wonder, when the people to whom Israel =
stretches out its hand in peace remain unrepentant of their hatred of =
the Jewish nation? How can it come, when the people laying claim to =
Israel's holiest site as part of their State of Palestine remain bent on =
banning Jews and Christians from praying there forever?=20

4. I PROMISE...
by Isaac Kohn - IsraelNationalNews.com - August 8, 2003=20
August 6, 2003. Ketziot Prison.
The line of prisoners moved along quickly and the moment of =
release was getting ever closer. A pile of documents, clearly and neatly =
typed, double-spaced, lay in front of the three officers sitting on the =
other side of the table. As his turn came, the prisoner picked up the =
pen and without even reading the short paragraph detailing the =
prisoner's promise, he dated and signed on the dotted line. "Next!" =
called out the officer; the handcuffs were removed, the prisoner quickly =
walked towards the buses.=20
Almost four-hundred terrorists raised their fingers in the =
internationally accepted =93V=94 gesture expressing victory. "See you =
soon!" yelled one. The buses, packed with smiling former prisoners, =
rolled out of the Ketziot Prison yard. And out of Offer and Meggido. The =
inch-thick pile of close to four-hundred signed documents lay neatly in =
a file holder; the folder tag read "I promise=85"=20
October, 2003. Jerusalem, Israel. 7:45 AM
=93Kol Yisrael in Jerusalem. Three tremendous explosions ripped =
apart the packed Egged buses just as the last passengers, mostly =
children and young students on their first day back to school after the =
holidays, managed to squeeze in. The powerful bombs, each estimated at =
over fifty kilos, were tightly packed with hundreds of nails and screws, =
designed to maim as many as possible. Details remain sketchy at these =
first moments. First accounts are of thirty-three dead near Tel-Aviv, =
sixteen dead and twenty-two more near Netanya and Ashdod respectively. =
The number of wounded may be well over two-hundred, including many =
passengers waiting at the stations for transfer to other buses. =
Witnesses at one site claim to have seen an Arab looking young-man board =
the bus, three stations back and police confirm that a body has been =
positively identified as that of the homicide bomber.=20
=93Prime Minister Sharon is, at this moment, convening an =
emergency cabinet meeting to discuss Israel's response to these =
unimaginable disasters. Stay tuned as we continue, uninterrupted, to =
bring you explicit details from the sites of the latest carnage.=94=20
=93Kol Yisrael in Jerusalem. It is now 8 AM and we continue our =
coverage of the three simultaneous homicide-bombings, which occurred =
just about fifteen minutes ago. Our sources reveal that in the last few =
minutes a total of six bodies were identified as those of the =
homicide-bombers. There were three on one bus, two on another and the =
third had one bomber. We were told that thorough body searches revealed =
very curious, interesting and distressing items. Here is Police =
spokesman, Dan Avigdor, to explain what those interesting items were.=94 =
Spokesman Avigdor: =93Each of the terrorists had a small plastic =
packet in his pocket, containing two sheets of paper. One related his =
name, age, city of birth and organizational affiliation Three were from =
Hamas, and one each from the Tanzim, PLFP and Fatah. Each was between =
twenty-three and thirty years old, single, fanatically religious, all on =
their final, voyage to shahidism; the typical terrorist goon we have =
known for so long.=20
=93The other sheet of paper was more upsetting [the Prime =
Minister, upon seeing the six identical sheets of paper, slammed his =
fist on the table but remained silent]. The sheet of paper was a copy of =
the 'paper' each had ceremoniously signed barely two months ago during =
the mass release of terrorist prisoners as a 'good-will gesture' to Abu =
Mazen. Each paper, a promissory note, if you will, had the prisoner's =
signature prominently displayed below the short paragraph in which the =
terrorist promised 'never again to engage in terror acts against Israeli =
citizens....' The paper had a huge, red 'X' marked on it with the =
following words written across: 'In deceiving the infidel Jew, Islam's =
eternal enemy, I follow the example set by the Prophet Muhammad.' I =
wonder what this means?=94=20
Kol Yisrael: =93We are interrupting this broadcast to bring you =
Prime Minister Sharon.=20
Knesset correspondent: =93Mr. Prime Minister, what is your =
reaction to these tragedies? How will Israel respond?=94=20
PM Sharon: =93Citizens of Israel. I am in total shock. For the =
life of me I don't understand this. I can't understand how they could, =
once again, do such dastardly, despicable acts of murder.=20
=93Look, here, on the sheet, it says very, very clearly: =91I =
promise....=92=94

2. I hereby declare that I oppose all terror and violent actions =
and I hereby commit to desist from all actions against the security of =
the State of Israel or the security of the region in general and include =

A. To desist from returning and carrying out a crime of the =
type of crimes that I was convicted of as well as any other crime;
B. Not to belong to a terror organization or illegal group of =
any kind;
C. Not to engage in inciting activities, and included in this =
incitement to carry out terror or act illegally against the peace =

4. Likewise I am aware that if I violate a condition of the =
conditions of the release the court will have the right to activate the =
remainder of the sentence that was in effect prior to my release and to =
decide that I bear this punishment in addition to any other punishment =
that is imposed on me.=20
5. I hereby confirm that the wording of my commitment and =
declaration was explained to me in Arabic and that after its =
significance was made clear to me I signed the document out of my free =
will.=20

It should be noted that Israel Radio Territories Correspondent Avi =
Yissakharov reported from Tulkarem that one of the released =
Palestinians, a Palestinian Police officer, told him that he would =
continue to actively struggle against Israel and this does not conflict =
with the release declaration since he committed in the release =
declaration not to engage in terror, and the struggle against Israel is =
not terror.=20

to peace</B></A> between Israel and the Palestinians is not a very =
challenging document. The text is only 41/2 pages long. Anyone =
willing to=20
invest 15 minutes in reading it can glean a pretty good idea of =
its terms.=20
<P>And yet a surprising number of people one might expect to be =
familiar=20
with the road map seem not to know what it says.=20
<P>Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, for example.=20
<P>In an interview last week with Lally Weymouth of Newsweek and =
The=20
Washington Post, Abbas said he had discussed the road map four =
times with=20
Ariel Sharon and was ''waiting to see'' if the Israeli leader =
would=20
deliver on his commitments.=20
<P>''Does that mean freezing settlements?'' Weymouth asked.=20
<P>''Not this only,'' Abbas answered, ''but all the items =
stipulated in=20
the road map - freeing the prisoners ... ''=20
<P>''But the issue of prisoners is not in the road map,'' Weymouth =
said.=20
<P>''It is in the road map,'' insisted Abbas.=20
<P>In fact, it <B>isn't </B>in the road map. There is nothing at =
all in=20
the blueprint that requires or even encourages Israel to release=20
Palestinians arrested for terrorist activities. It is hardly =
plausible=20
that Abbas didn't know that. More likely, he knew it perfectly =
well - but=20
figured most Washington Post and Newsweek readers wouldn't.=20
<P>After all, in the weeks leading up to President Bush's =
back-to-back=20
summits with Abbas and Sharon, the media harped incessantly on the =
release=20
of Palestinian prisoners as a critical step in the latest Middle =
East=20
peace process. Some reporters noted in passing that the road map =
doesn't=20
mention prisoners, but others falsely implied - or stated outright =
- that=20
freeing criminals was an obligation the agreement imposes on =
Israel.=20
<P>The week Abbas arrived in Washington, for example, the Post was =
reporting that ''the road map has stalled over several key =
issues,''=20
including ''Palestinian demands for ... the release of thousands =
of=20
Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.'' A few days earlier, =
the Los=20
Angeles Times informed its readers that Sharon and Abbas were to =
discuss=20
''ongoing steps under the peace plan known as the `road map,' =
including=20
the release of some Palestinian prisoners.''=20
<P>Last week, succumbing to the international pressure, Israel =
agreed to=20
free 540 prisoners, including 210 members of the terrorist =
organizations=20
Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The Israeli government promised not to =
release=20
any prisoners ''with blood on their hands,'' but time and again =
that is=20
exactly what it has done.=20
<P>In June, for example, as a goodwill gesture to Abbas, Israel =
freed more=20
than 100 imprisoned Palestinians. One of them was Ahmed Jbarra, =
who=20
murdered 14 people and wounded 60 in a horrific bombing in 1975. =
Upon his=20
release, the unrepentant Jbarra was hailed by Palestinians as a =
hero and=20
promptly named an ''adviser'' to Yasser Arafat. Soon after, The =
Jerusalem=20
Post reported, he was publicly urging Palestinians to kidnap =
Israelis so=20
they could be exchanged for even more prisoners.=20
<P>But none of that got much attention outside Israel, where the =
focus has=20
moved on to what else Israel should be doing to keep the road map =
alive.=20
Much has been made of the security wall Israel is building along =
the West=20
Bank border. Palestinian demands that Israel demolish the wall =
have gotten=20
a great deal of attention; so has the Bush administration's public =
criticism. And yet the wall too is something about which the road =
map says=20
absolutely nothing.=20
<P>By contrast, it says a great deal about what the Palestinian =
Authority=20
is supposed to do. The PA's foremost obligation, more critical to =
the road=20
map's success than anything else, is to crush the terrorists who =
have shed=20
so much blood.=20
<P>The language is explicit: The PA must ''declare an unequivocal =
end to=20
violence and terrorism.'' It must ''arrest, disrupt, and restrain=20
individuals and groups conducting and planning violent attacks on =
Israelis=20
anywhere.'' It must end ''all official ... incitement against =
Israel.''=20
Above all, it must carry out the ''dismantlement of terrorist =
capability=20
and infrastructure.'' These are not goodwill gestures. They are =
mandatory=20
commitments the Palestinians must fulfill if the road map is to go =
forward.=20
<P>So far they have fulfilled none of them. The anti-Israel =
incitement=20
continues. Terrorism has not stopped. As for the dismantling of =
terrorist=20
groups, Abbas says bluntly that it will never happen.=20
<P>''Cracking down on Hamas, [Islamic] Jihad, and the Palestinian=20
organizations,'' he said on July 23, ''is not an option at all.''=20
<P>It is the Oslo farce all over again: Israel weakens itself =
through=20
concessions on the ground. The Palestinians pocket the =
concessions, then=20
break their promise of peace.=20
<P>However well meant, this is a road map to nowhere. It will not =
lead to=20
genuine peace, not so long as the Palestinians are ruled by the =
likes of=20
Arafat and Abbas. Terrorism made them what they are; it is the =
taproot of=20
their power and influence. From such men, peace will never come.=20
<P>The indispensable first step to Mideast peace remains what it =
always=20
has been: a new and different Palestinian leadership, one not =
compromised=20
by terror. Until that leadership appears, the violence and =
bloodshed will=20
go on.=20

futures. Naturally, I intended to sell short. You can't go wrong =
betting=20
on the Palestinian genius for self-inflicted disaster.=20
<P>Last week, on a visit to Jerusalem, House Majority Leader Tom =
DeLay,=20
R-Texas, described the ceasefire between Israel and the =
Palestinians as=20
"paper-thin." That overestimates the durability of paper. All =
signs point=20
to an outbreak of fighting by the end of the summer.=20
<P>The Palestinians lost the last intifadeh, which is why they =
asked for a=20
ceasefire. And they will lose the next. The difference is, this =
time it=20
will be Israel's intifadeh. And America won't be there to stop it. =
In=20
fact, the United States will be rooting Israel on.=20
<P>The Palestinians were warned about this when Prime Minister =
Mahmoud=20
Abbas visited the White House last month. Abbas came with =
complaints: the=20
security fence (Abbas calls it a wall) Israel is building across =
the West=20
Bank, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's refusal to open the prison =
gates and=20
release thousands of inmates and the general difficulties of life =

occupation.=20
<P>President Bush was polite. He agreed that the fence might be a =
problem,=20
although he didn't sound as if he cared much - an impression =
confirmed=20
during Sharon's subsequent visit to Washington. On the other hand, =
Bush=20
was unsympathetic on the subject of releasing terrorists and =
downright=20
hostile to the Palestinian claim that under the terms of the road =
map,=20
they are obligated to nothing more than a ceasefire.=20
<P>In the road map, the Palestinians agreed to make "visible =
efforts on=20
the ground to arrest, disrupt and restrain individuals and groups=20
conducting and planning violent attacks on Israelis anywhere." In =
other=20
words, Abbas and his colleagues have promised to take on Hamas, =
Islamic=20
Jihad, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the rest of the armed =
terrorist=20
groups.=20
<P>Obviously, the Palestinians knew this when they signed up for =
the road=20

the late=20
Udai Hussein observed, in a related context, Bush isn't like Bill =
Clinton.=20
The president is deadly serious about fighting terrorism, =
including=20
Palestinian terrorism. And so is Sharon (you could say he isn't =
Ehud=20
Barak).=20
<P>"For the past three years, we have paid a heavy price for =
Israel's=20

the=20
graduating class of Israel's National Defense College last week.=20
<P>But that's all over now. Sharon is demanding nothing less than =
"a total=20
cessation of violence" and "the fulfillment of every obligation =
included=20
in the road map." In plain Hebrew, this means that if the =
Palestinians=20
don't go after the terrorists, he will.=20
<P>The day after Sharon's speech, Palestinian security chief =
Mohammed=20
Dahlan responded by saying he would not disarm Hamas and other =
groups=20
because it would lead to a civil war. He's calling Sharon's bluff. =
And=20
Bush's.=20
<P>This will be a painful mistake. Sharon and Bush are operating =
under the=20
same motto: Bring 'em on.=20
<P>Sharon has been building toward this moment since he became =
prime=20
minister. First, by retaking the West Bank in the spring of 2002, =
he=20
exploded the myth that the Palestinians could win a guerrilla war. =
Then he=20
isolated and discredited Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. =
Finally, he=20
pounded the Palestinians into exhaustion, forcing them to ask for =
a=20
temporary truce.=20
<P>None of this could have come to pass without the backing of the =
Israeli=20
public - or the support of the Bush administration. The price of =
this=20
support was signing up for the road map. Sharon - who doesn't =
necessarily=20
want the Palestinian state the plan envisions - was ready to pay. =
He=20
figured Abbas' check would bounce, and then he'd get a refund from =
the=20
Americans.=20
<P>Sharon seems to have been banking on a sure thing. Palestinian =
terror=20
groups already are engaged in a recruiting drive and an effort to=20
replenish their weapons, including stocks of crude mortars. Arafat =
is=20
stridently calling Abbas' patriotism and manhood into question. =
It's just=20
a matter of time before the Palestinians whip themselves into a =
delusional=20
state of righteous indignation over Israeli crimes, real and =
imagined.=20
Then the shooting starts - and Israel's intifadeh.=20
<P>The campaign Sharon has planned will take its tactical cues =
from U.S.=20
operations in Iraq. Rules of engagement will be the same. Leaders =
once=20
considered immune - the chief of Hamas, the heads of Islamic Jihad =
in=20
Damascus and perhaps Arafat himself - will get the Saddam Hussein=20
treatment.=20
<P>When the fighting stops, Sharon intends for the Fatah-dominated =
Palestinian Authority to be as dead as the Iraqi Baath Party. Any =
future=20
Palestinian government will have to conform to the criteria =
America has=20
set for self-government in Baghdad: constitutional government and =
a full=20
commitment to peace.=20
<P>It is, of course, unclear that the United States can pull this =
off in=20
Iraq. And it is perhaps even less likely that it will work in the =
West=20
Bank and Gaza. But that doesn't trouble Sharon. Having adopted the =
American gold standard, he comes out ahead. Pentagon stock market =

Palestinian futures are a loser.=20

reinforce=20
this situation.=20
<P>And as for the deafening silence greeting this decision, I find =
its=20
nearly universal acceptance by Jews in Israel and abroad totally=20
incomprehensible.=20
<P>Have I got this right?=20
<P>The Jewish nation believes it has every right to its homeland =
here in=20
Israel. Many base their claim on their biblical history. For them, =
no=20
dichotomy exists between biblical history and the extra-scriptural =
history=20
of the last 2000 years.=20
<P>Christians comprehend this Jewish history, as it pertains to =
the Temple=20
Mount, as follows:=20
<P>Around 3000 years ago, King Solomon built the first Temple on =
that=20
hill. The Bible tells us that, after he dedicated the Temple, fire =
fell=20
from heaven and the divine presence filled the sanctuary. (Of =
special=20
interest to Christians is Solomon's prayer that the God of Israel =
would=20
also hear the prayers of foreigners who come to pray on the =
Mount.)=20
<P>So began the most glorious era the Jewish nation ever knew, =
with=20
Israel's borders secured and extending further than at any other =
time in=20
history.=20
<P>Tragically, their forefathers lost their fear of God and, as a =
result,=20
Israel fell in battle and was exiled. But as they longed for their =
land=20
and prayed to return, Israel's prophets encouraged them with =
promises that=20
they would be restored.=20
<P>They did return, and built the Second Temple, before being =
defeated in=20
battle again and driven into exile for nearly 2000 pain-filled =
years.=20
<P>For centuries, their communities were scattered among the =
nations of=20
the world; welcomed by few, pursued by most. Looking back, it is =
as if=20
virtually the whole Gentile world was intent on their destruction. =
<P>And yet, in their synagogues, on the numerous roads of their =
exile,=20
hounded and hunted by Christian and Muslim, the Jews held fast to =
the=20
belief that one day they would return to Israel, to Jerusalem, and =
ultimately to their Temple Mount. And they looked forward to the =
day when=20
God's glory would be restored to them, and Israel would indeed be =
a light=20
to the nations.=20
<P>Eventually, their numbers decimated by antisemitic tyranny, the =
remnant=20
of what should have been one of the mightiest nations in existence =
began=20
making its way home.=20
<P>The rest is recent history. In 1948, Jewish dominion was =
restored to=20
part of the land. Arab wars of aggression led to the extension of =
that=20
sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and Gaza =
and,=20
finally - on that glorious day - over all Jerusalem.=20
<P>And then, for some unfathomable reason, the Jews stopped. =
Although the=20
ultimate answer to their centuries of praying and longing was at =
last=20
within legal reach, they permitted the Temple Mount to remain in =
Muslim=20
hands.=20
<P>Instead of opening the way for rebuilding their Temple, they =
restricted=20
themselves to further decades of praying at a ruined Herodian =
wall. Until=20
today, Jews and Christians are barred from praying openly on the =
Mount.=20
And now their authorities are virtually unopposed in their =
decision to=20
uphold this status quo.=20
<P>Modern-day Israel makes much - not without justification - of =
its=20
policy of guaranteeing free and protected access to all religious =
holy=20
places in Jerusalem. It is historical fact that, before the =
restoration of=20
Jewish sovereignty, the sites sacred to Judaism - and Christianity =
- were=20
anything but unrestricted or protected.=20
<P>Following the extensive improvement in this situation during =
the past=20
36 years, many Christians want Israel to retain sovereignty over =
the Mount=20
- and over all the sites Christians hold dear, including many of=20
Judaism's.=20
<P>At the very least, should Israel not confine Islamic =
custodianship on=20
the Temple Mount to the inner walls of its mosques and open the =
rest of=20
the hill to all Jews and Christians wishing to pray there?=20
<P>As a Christian who loves the nation who gave me my Bible, my=20
commandments and my Messiah, and who aches to see an end to the =
suffering=20
of the Jews, I join with them in longing for the day when true and =

peace will come to this land.=20
<P>But how can it come, I wonder, when the people to whom Israel =
