1. A VICTORY THAT LED TO RETREAT
By Ryan Jones - JNW Editorial - June 8, 2004=20
Thirty-seven years to the day after Israel wrapped up its stunning =
Six Day War victory, the government of Ariel Sharon decided to retreat =
from a major chunk of the territory that had been used as a launch pad =
for attempts to annihilate the Jewish state.=20
That Sharon played such a key role in helping to conquer the Gaza =
Strip and Samaria, and that he himself once deemed these areas vital =
security assets as well as integral parts of Israel's biblical patrimony =
seem to no longer matter to the prime minister.=20
He has by now staked his entire political career, and his legacy, =
on a plan to initiate unilateral flight from these areas in the face of =
unrelenting "Palestinian" terrorism.=20
How is it that Israel was able to defeat the mighty armies of =
Egypt, but remains unable, after decades, to put out of commission the =
small and comparatively ill-equipped Gaza-based terror groups?=20
The notion that Israel has no military answer for these groups is, =
of course, ludicrous. If America has a military solution to a threat as =
diverse as Al Qaeda, then Israeli arms are more than capable of routing =
a localized enemy like Hamas.=20
As commander of the IDF's Southern Command, Sharon led an =
unyielding anti-terror campaign in the Gaza Strip between July 1971 and =
February 1972.=20
He used all means at his disposal, including the deportation to =
Jordan of Palestinian Arab men whose children had stoned Israeli =
soldiers. During those seven months, 104 terrorists were killed and =
another 742 arrested.=20
And it worked. Sharon himself announces in his autobiography that =
the targeted and well-executed military efforts succeeded in the =
complete elimination of organized terrorist activity in the Gaza Strip =
at that time.=20
"For ten years afterward there was no terrorism in Gaza; it was =
completely peaceful." (Warrior, page 261)=20
But it was the "will to fight these people [the terrorists] and =
destroy them," and not reckless retreat, which resulted in a Gaza Strip =
where people could lead quiet, prosperous lives during the 1970s, Sharon =
pointed out.=20
What has really defeated Israel in Gaza and northern Samaria - the =
two areas from which the initial retreat is set to occur - is the =
nation's fear of international criticism. While Israel is capable of =
bombing into oblivion the Gaza terrorist infrastructure, it is scared =
stiff of the worldwide reaction to doing so.=20
Whereas in the past, Sharon and the rest of the Israeli leadership =
were more concerned with ensuring that a Jew was able to live in peace =
and security in any part of his God-given homeland, their priorities now =
lie in tickling the sensibilities of world leaders like George W. Bush.=20
And so, instead of securing its people by defeating terror, Israel =
is to flee before it, signaling to the Arabs, whether Sharon recognizes =
it or not, that a combination of low-level violence and international =
sympathy for the "Palestinian" cause will eventually achieve what =
full-scale invasion could not.=20
Clearly, this re-gathered, physically reconstituted nation has yet =
to realize that when it comes to doing the right thing, when it comes to =
administering its right to this land, there is only an audience of One.=20
Fortunately, some in Israel, like National Religious Party chief =
Effi Etiam, do get it:=20
"We have another partner in these decisions, the Master of the =
Universe. We must show the Master of the Universe that we are willing to =
sacrifice ourselves for the Land of Israel and He will help us."=20
The prophet Zephaniah writes:In that day it shall be said to =
Jerusalem:"Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your =
God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save." (Zephaniah 3:16)=20
Through Jeremiah God says, "Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, for I =
am with you; for I will make a complete end of all the nations to which =
I have driven you." (Jeremiah 46:28)=20
And speaking through the prophet Isaiah, God tells Israel to "fear =
not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will =
strengthen you, yes, I will help you." (Isaiah 41:10)=20
If this is so, and it most certainly is, does it really matter =
what Washington thinks?=20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-
The Mountains of Israel -=20
The Mountains of Israel is an exciting and refreshing new =
perspective on the Arab-Israeli conflict, clearly outlining how God is =
fulfilling His Word in modern-day Israel. It is highly suitable for the =
beginning reader on Israel and for those who have studied Israel from a =
Scriptural perspective for years.

2. RONALD REAGAN AND THE JEWS
By Jason Maoz - JewishPress.com | June 11, 2004=20
"Reagan I could trust." - Yitzhak Shamir=20
"He was unshakable; a staunch supporter." - Shimon Peres
For most of the 1980's, Ronald Wilson Reagan dominated the =
American political landscape as no man had since Franklin Delano =
Roosevelt. The attitude of most Jews, however, was that Reagan's =
presence in the White House was a not altogether pleasant fact of life, =
something about which they could do nothing and for which they bore =
little responsibility.=20
Although Reagan's share of the Jewish vote in the 1980 election =
was 39 percent - the best showing among Jews for a Republican =
presidential candidate since Dwight Eisenhower's 40 percent in 1956 - =
the number that really stands out all these years later is that while =
Reagan was winning a 44-state blowout victory in the nation at large, =
fully 61 percent of Jewish voters preferred either the incumbent, =
Democrat Jimmy Carter, or third-party candidate John Anderson.=20
If Reagan's landslide victory over Carter was greeted by a less =
than enthusiastic response from American Jewry - then even more than now =
one of the Democratic party's most loyal constituencies - the reaction =
was entirely different in Israel, where there were real fears of what =
another four years of a Carter administration would bring.=20
For Israeli officials, the fact that a candidate with strong =
pro-Israel credentials defeated Carter was merely icing on the cake; =
more important was the relief in at last being rid of a president they =
had long ceased viewing with anything but distrust. And they were =
equally pleased to bid adieu to the Carter foreign policy team, =
particularly the national security adviser, Zbiegnew Brzezinski, and the =
UN ambassador, Donald McHenry, who along with former Carter officials =
Cyrus Vance (secretary of state until mid-1980) and Andrew Young =
(McHenry's predecessor at the UN until late 1979) had been a constant =
impediment to warmer U.S.-Israel relations.=20
The Roots of His Commitment=20
Ronald Reagan had an instinctive affinity for Israel that Jimmy =
Carter plainly lacked. As an actor who spent decades in the heavily =
Jewish environment of Hollywood, and who counted scores of Jews among =
his friends and colleagues, Reagan moved easily in pro-Israel circles. =
Both as a private citizen and as governor of California he was a =
familiar sight and a favored speaker at various functions for =
Israel.When asked about his immunity to anti-Semitism, Reagan would =
credit his parents, often relating the story of how his father, a =
traveling salesman, was about to check in at a hotel in some remote area =
late one night when the desk clerk casually remarked, "I'm sure you'll =
enjoy it here; we don't allow any Jews." Whereupon Jack Reagan brusquely =
informed the clerk that he most definitely would not enjoy it there, =
grabbed his bag and walked out the door. He spent the night sleeping in =
his car.=20
Few experiences touched Reagan as deeply as did his viewing of =
Nazi death-camp newsreels. "From then on," he said, "I was concerned for =
the Jewish people."=20
"The newsreels of the death camps he had seen in 1946,'' wrote =
Reagan biographer Lou Cannon, "were such a vivid part of his memory that =
he was able to imagine... that he was actually at the site of the =
concentration camps when they were liberated by the Allied armies.''=20
Indeed, in separate conversations, Reagan told then-Israeli Prime =
Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal =
Center that he had filmed the camps and their grisly evidence of Nazi =
atrocities and had even kept a copy of the film for himself in case =
anyone would voice doubt
about what the Nazis had done.=20
Contrary to his recollection, Reagan, who spent the war years in =
Hollywood working on propaganda films for the U.S. military, could not =
have filmed the camps himself. Given the nature of his wartime =
responsibilities, though, he certainly would have been one of the first =
Americans with access to those films.=20
Reagan's emotional reaction to the Holocaust sealed what would =
become a lifelong commitment to the Jewish state. And for better than =
four decades he never wavered in his certitude, even when, as president, =
he had his share of disagreements with Israeli leaders.=20
"I've believed many things in my life," Reagan stated in his =
memoirs, "but no conviction I've ever had has been stronger than my =
belief that the United states must ensure the survival of Israel."=20
Scrapping Carter's Foreign Policy=20
"Few presidents," wrote Steven Spiegel in The Other Arab-Israeli =
Conflict, a study of U.S. policy toward Israel, "have come to office =
with as specific a vision of the world as Ronald Reagan. The basic =
tenets of his policy could not have been more divergent from the =
principles of the Carter era: staunch anti-Communism, antagonism to the =
Soviet leadership, de-emphasis on the Third World as an object of U.S. =
concern, and a commitment to a dramatically increased defense budget."=20
As his first secretary of the state Reagan chose General Alexander =
Haig, former chief of staff in the Nixon White House and more recently =
supreme commander of NATO forces in Europe. Haig was described as "a 100 =
percent supporter of Israel on all issues" by Caspar Weinberger, the =
secretary of defense with whom he often clashed.=20
Reagan's UN ambassador during his first term, the solidly =
pro-Israel Jeane Kirkpatrick, had been a professor of political science =
at Georgetown University. Her writings on the struggle between =
democracies and dictatorships caught Reagan's eye as he campaigned for =
the White House, and the thought struck him that this was precisely the =
clear, pro-American voice he wanted for his administration.=20
For the Middle East, the Reagan team initially visualized an =
alliance of shared interest between Israel and anti-radical Arab states, =
a plan that for obvious reasons proved unworkable.=20
"The administration," explained Spiegel, "planned to provide =
incentives to both the Israelis and Arabs so they would join the effort =
to block Russian expansion in the area. Reagan, who had gone further =
than any previous major candidate in celebrating the Jewish state as an =
important strategic asset to the United States, would offer the Israelis =
unprecedented cooperation and increased military assistance. Meanwhile, =
the Arabs, especially the Saudis, would be fortified with arms so that =
they could contribute to the effort. Each side would acquiesce in U.S. =
support for the other because of the assistance they were to be =
provided."=20
The plan sounded sensible, but its implementation was stymied by =
the Saudis' reluctance to be grouped, however loosely, with Israel. The =
administration, rather quickly, was forced to shelve its grandiose plan =
for an anti-Soviet alliance and concentrate instead on bolstering =
friendly nations in the
region on an individual basis.=20
The Inevitability of Disagreement=20
Reagan inaugurated what Israeli journalists Dan Raviv and Yossi =
Melman have termed the "Solid Gold Era" in U.S.-Israel relations. =
Certainly the administration included individuals - most notably =
Weinberger - who were less than favorably disposed to Israel, but their =
influence was more than offset by the views of Haig, Kirkpatrick, a =
number of key non-cabinet level aides and, of course, Reagan himself.=20
Even so, Reagan - and this should underscore the inevitability of =
disagreement between Israel and even the friendliest of U.S. presidents =
- found himself engaged in a series of tiffs with the Israeli =
government, particularly during his first term.=20
The earliest friction concerned Israel's destruction of the Iraqi =
nuclear reactor in June 1981. The U.S. voted with the rest of the UN =
Security Council to condemn the action, and briefly held up delivery of =
some F-16 aircraft to Israel, but the reaction was basically a slap on =
the wrist, with no permanent ramifications.=20
"Technically," Reagan wrote in his memoirs, "Israel had violated =
an agreement with us not to use U.S.-made weapons for offensive =
purposes, and some cabinet members wanted me to lean hard on Israel =
because it had broken this pledge.... I sympathized with [Prime Minister =
Menachem] Begin's motivations and privately believed we should give him =
the benefit of the doubt."=20
Later in 1981, a bitter fight was played out in Congress between =
the White House and supporters of Israel over the administration's =
decision to sell Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft (AWACS) to =
Saudi Arabia. The sale was finally approved by a narrow margin, but the =
confrontation left bruised feelings and egos on both sides.=20
The fears of those who opposed the AWACS sale would, over time, =
come to be seen as overblown. Ironically, Israeli military leaders were =
never in the forefront of the AWACS opposition; according to Raviv and =
Melman, "the commanders of the Israeli air force - the officers most =
directly concerned - were willing to live with AWACS flying over Saudi =
Arabia. They did not see them as a serious threat to Israel's security." =
The AWACS battle highlighted what many in Washington - and =
Jerusalem - felt was the needlessly abrasive personality of Menachem =
Begin. Their concern was underscored in 1981 when, just weeks after the =
Reagan administration signed a memorandum of understanding with Israel =
for closer military and strategic ties, Begin rammed a bill through the =
Knesset that in effect annexed the Golan Heights. The U.S. responded by =
suspending the memorandum, whereupon Begin delivered a blistering - and =
highly undiplomatic - tongue-lashing to the American ambassador in =
Israel.=20
Reagan's frustration with Begin reached a crisis point in June =
1982 with Israel's invasion of Lebanon, a promised "quick strike" that =
became a Vietnam-like quagmire for the Israeli army and an unprecedented =
military and public-relations fiasco for the Israeli government.=20
To make matters worse, it was during this tense period that =
Alexander Haig resigned as U.S. secretary of state. Haig's tenure had =
been marked by squabbles with other administration officials and his =
departure was hardly a shock, but the timing could not have been worse =
for Israel. (Haig's replacement, George Shultz, initially viewed with =
some wariness by supporters of Israel, would develop a surprisingly warm =
rapport with Israeli and American Jewish leaders.)=20
The U.S.-Israel relationship had grown strong enough to survive a =
major disaster like Lebanon, just as it would survive what some viewed =
as the overbearing personality of Menachem Begin; the failure of the =
so-called Reagan Plan, which called for a freeze on Israeli settlements =
and the eventual creation of a quasi-independent Palestinian entity; the =
Iran-Contra scandal, in which Israel played a major role; the =
ill-advised visit by Reagan to a German cemetery where the remains of SS =
soldiers were buried; the arrest and conviction of an American citizen, =
Jonathan Pollard, on charges of spying for Israel; and the =
administration's controversial 1988 decision to talk to the PLO after =
Yasir Arafat read some American-scripted lines about recognizing Israel. =
Through it all, Reagan provided more military and financial aid to =
Israel than any of his predecessors, and the increased cooperation =
between American and Israeli intelligence services proved beneficial to =
both countries. Washington also worked closer with Israel on the =
economic front, and in 1985 the administration signed a landmark Free =
Trade Area agreement, long sought by Israel, which resulted in a hefty =
boost in Israeli exports to the U.S.=20
Soviet Jewry=20
The plight of Jews in the Soviet Union was bound to strike a =
sympathetic chord with someone as unbendingly anti-Communist as Ronald =
Reagan. Concern over the Russians' decades-long repression of Jewish =
religious expression and their refusal to allow "refuseniks" to emigrate =
to Israel was woven into U.S. policy during the Reagan years.=20
"Reagan's interest in Soviet Jewry was immense; it was close to =
the first issue on the American agenda and was part of the confrontation =
between the two superpowers," Yitzhak Shamir told authors Deborah and =
Gerald Strober.=20
"The Soviet leaders," Shamir added, "told me that every time they =
met with Shultz, he raised the issue of Soviet Jewry, and they would ask =
him, 'Why do you do this?' Shultz answered that this was very =
important."=20
Elliott Abrams, who served under Shultz as an Assistant Secretary =
of State, told the Strobers that "The Reagan administration kept beating =
the Soviet Union over the issue of the Soviet Jews and kept telling =
them, "You have to deal with this question. You will not be able to =
establish the kind of relationship you want with us unless you have =
dealt with this question...."=20
According to Richard Schifter, another assistant secretary of =
state, when Gorbachev came to Washington in December 1987 for a summit =
with Reagan, it was just a couple of days after a huge rally for Soviet =
Jews had been held in the nation's capital "and the person who was the =
note-taker at the meeting told me that Reagan started out by saying to =
Gorbachev, 'You know, there was this rally on the Mall the other day.'=20
"And Gorbachev said, 'Yes, I heard about it. Why don't you go on =
and talk about arms control?' And for five minutes, Reagan kept on =
talking about the rally and the importance of the Jewish emigration =
issue to the United States, when Gorbachev wanted to talk about =
something else."=20
The Reagan administration was instrumental in gaining the release =
in 1986 of prominent Jewish dissident Natan Sharansky, imprisoned for =
nine years on trumped-up treason charges. Now a government minister in =
Israel, Sharansky recalled his reaction when, in 1983, confined to a =
tiny cell in a prison near the Siberian border, he saw on the front page =
of Pravda that Reagan had labeled the Soviet Union an "evil empire."=20
As Sharansky described it, "Tapping on walls and talking through =
toilets, word of Reagan's 'provocation' quickly spread throughout the =
prison. We dissidents were ecstatic. Finally, the leader of the free =
world had spoken the truth - a truth that burned inside the heart of =
each and every one of us. I never imagined that three years later I =
would be in the White House telling this story to the =
president....Reagan was right and his critics were wrong."=20
In 1984 Reagan was reelected in a landslide of historic =
proportions, but his share of the Jewish vote actually decreased by =
nearly eight points from 1980. When he left office in January 1989, it =
was with a higher approval rating than any president before him, but =
Jews - a majority of whom evidently consider a president's fealty to =
liberalism more important than his support of Israel - gave him lower =
marks than any other voting bloc save African Americans.=20
It would take four years of the decidedly frosty relationship =
with Israel fostered by the first President Bush and his secretary of =
state, James Baker, for an appreciable number of Jews to begin looking =
back at the Reagan years with a new sense of appreciation.

3. FACE REALITY OR FACE ANNIHILATION
By Beth Goodtree - Israelinsider.com - June 11, 2004=20
Their successes are few, but failures by policy makers and shakers =
never seem to end. The reason? Not a single one has faced reality. Be it =
Ariel Sharon, George W. Bush and his Arabist State Department, the =
so-called Arab moderates or the delusional EU, all they are good at is =
producing failures and thus hastening the annihilation of their own =
people. (Why do I feel like a rehab counselor surrounded by a bunch of =
unwilling drug addicts?)=20
I will pick on George W. Bush first. This man has more waffles =
then The International House of Pancakes. In a presidential address to a =
Joint Session of Congress and the American people on 20 September 2001, =
George W. Bush made the following statements:=20
"It (the war on terror) will not end until every terrorist group =
of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated...And we will =
pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism."=20
"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either =
you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, =
any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be =
regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."=20
From this statement, one would have thought that George W. Bush =
would never consider putting pressure on the U.S.'s strongest ally, =
Israel, to cede land to a bunch of terrorists so they could better =
continue their genocidal agenda from their own newly-created country. =
But he is doing just that, demanding Israel expel its own people from =
their own land and give it to their blood enemy. Bush, possibly because =
of his Arabist State Department advisors, seems to feel the terror-bent =
'Palestinians' occupying Israeli land are a separate entity from other =
Arab nations, despite the following statement by one of their esteemed =
own:=20
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a =
Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against =
the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no =
difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only =
for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence =
of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we =
posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose =
Zionism." [1]=20
Mr. Bush also ignores the reality of the Arabs' own polls, which =
show the average Arab occupying Israeli land supports genocide bombings =
and is hell-bent on perpetrating genocide upon the Jews.=20
Most recently, Mr. Bush has ignored the fact that Israel is under =
constant attack and in a fight for its survival. He has shown his =
ignorance of this by his having the U.S. abstain in (rather than veto) a =
UN vote condemning Israel for defensive actions against an enemy who =
uses women and children as human shields and living bombs. If Mr. Bush =
were cognizant of the laws of the Geneva Convention, he would know any =
harm that comes to civilians, or destruction of their properties, when =
these are used by armed combatants, is the fault of the combatant, not =
of the victim trying to defend itself, as Israel is doing.=20
Meanwhile, Christendom in the EU has its head in the sand =
(literally) when it comes to Arab countries and Muslims in general. =
Europe is under invasion from the Muslim hordes and seems to think =
appeasement will work. Their philosophy is 'condemn Israel and the =
Muslims and Arabs will leave us alone and continue the flow of oil.' Fat =
chance. The Muslim world has its sights set on another European =
conquest, as a prelude to world domination and subjugation, and is fast =
approaching success. [2] Their methods are a combination of =
out-of-control birth rates, immigration, propaganda and terror. At the =
rate they are going, Europeans will be subjugated by the next =
generation.=20
So now let's talk about Arab 'moderates'. Here is a statement made =
last year by a man hailed as a Muslim moderate, Dr. Mahathir, former =
Prime Minister of Indonesia and former head of the Organization of =
Islamic Countries:=20
"We need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and =
warships..." [3]=20
Since Malaysia is not under siege or threat, whom is Dr. Mahathir =
planning on attacking with these weapons?=20
Okay, forget so-called 'moderate' Muslims' statements. How about =
behavior? Equating interrogation techniques that cause embarrassment and =
a bit of discomfort (used with known combatants and terrorists) to the =
brutal slow, gruesome beheading of an American (also Jewish) =
noncombatant shows a shocking but unsurprising lack of human decency on =
the part of the Arab/Muslim world, as well as the Left-wing Western =
world. And as if this false moral equivalency were not enough, =
state-sponsored Arab papers, many from so-called moderate countries, =
have gone even farther. Egypt, considered moderate and 'friendly', made =
no mention whatsoever of the beheading in its leading daily newspaper, =
Al-Ahram. Two other major pro-government newspapers ran news service =
reports on their inside pages, without photos, while blasting America =
about Iraq on their front pages. [4]=20
Want more bad behavior? Let's talk broken treaties. Supposedly, =
Egypt is at peace with Israel, but you would never know it by Egypt's =
behavior. According to the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty (which the U.S. has =
guaranteed in her Israel-U.S. Memorandum of Agreement), Egypt may not =
promote terrorism nor instigate incitement. Yet Egypt actively breaks =
this treaty on a daily basis.=20
Egypt refuses to stop the flow of weapons -- through illicit =
tunnels and other means -- to the terrorist Arab entity occupying =
Israeli land in Gaza, Judea and Samaria. The Egyptian government even =
uses textbooks that represent Jews as having the traits of "malice, =
greed, treachery, exploitation of others, fomenting of dissension, =
deception, racism, arrogance, hypocrisy, trickery and hostility." [5] =
And yet the U.S. still considers Egypt a 'moderate' country and a =
'friend', refusing to see the reality of Egypt's duplicity.=20
Meanwhile, the Arab world has just staged another farcical =
'International Islamic Conference', meant to appease the civilized =
world. This year's theme was "Tolerance In the Islamic Culture." =
Shamelessly, they tried to present themselves as tolerant and even =
enlightened, while meantime their compatriots not in attendance continue =
to enslave and force conversion on Christians and wage war on Jews =
merely for being Jewish. These Muslims do the same thing year after =
year, yet our leaders seem to buy into their lies and propaganda instead =
of demanding that the Islamic world change its behavior. This reminds me =
of the home invader who tells his victims that if only they cooperate no =
harm will come to them and then proceeds to shoot them in the head.=20
Next comes Ariel Sharon. That man does more about-faces than does =
a military academy on parade day. After being the main proponent of =
populating Judea, Samaria and Gaza, he now wants to destroy them and =
expel all Jews from their homes, in an act reminiscent of the Holocaust. =
Nor are his about-faces reserved for the disputed territories. First =
Sharon had many reservations about the Roadmap; then he seemed to accept =
it, as testified by his proposals to make concessions. First he said =
Israel would not do anything until terrorism stopped, and now he plans =
to reward terrorism by pushing through with pullouts and expulsions of =
his own people.=20
The reality Sharon fails to face is that the Arab/Muslim world =
does not want Israel to exist. He also fails to face the reality that he =
cannot use Israel's fate to offset his personal problems. And he also =
fails to face the reality that the U.S. does what is good for the U.S. =
and not necessarily what is in Israel's best interests.=20
Finally, there is the civilized world in general, specifically the =
common citizens thereof. They have bought the line that the enemy is =
terror. In truth, terror is merely a tactic of the real enemy, Islamism, =
which seeks to dominate and subjugate the entire planet just as Nazi =
Germany once did. We are in a war for our very existence. And unless we =
are willing to face this reality, we might as well immediately give the =
Muslims the keys to our countries, control of our lives (and accept the =
role of second-class citizens with few rights if any), renounce our =
religions, buy prayer rugs and start praying to Allah five times a day.=20

territory that=20
had been used as a launch pad for attempts to annihilate the =

<P>That Sharon played such a key role in helping to conquer the =

<P>He has by now staked his entire political career, and his =

plan to initiate unilateral flight from these areas in the face of =
unrelenting "Palestinian" terrorism.=20
<P>How is it that Israel was able to defeat the mighty armies of =
Egypt,=20
but remains unable, after decades, to put out of commission the =
small and=20
comparatively ill-equipped Gaza-based terror groups?=20
<P>The notion that Israel has no military answer for these groups =
is, of=20
course, ludicrous. If America has a military solution to a threat =

routing a=20

<P>As commander of the IDF=92s Southern Command, Sharon led an =
unyielding=20
anti-terror campaign in the Gaza Strip between July 1971 and =
February=20
1972.=20
<P>He used all means at his disposal, including the deportation to =
Jordan=20
of Palestinian Arab men whose children had stoned Israeli =
soldiers. During=20
those seven months, 104 terrorists were killed and another 742 =
arrested.=20

<P>"For ten years afterward there was no terrorism in Gaza; it was =

<P>But it was the "will to fight these people [the terrorists] and =
destroy=20
them," and not reckless retreat, which resulted in a Gaza Strip =

pointed=20
out.=20
<P>What has really defeated Israel in Gaza and northern Samaria =
=96 the two=20
areas from which the initial retreat is set to occur - is the =
nation=92s=20
fear of international criticism. While Israel is capable of =
bombing into=20
oblivion the Gaza terrorist infrastructure, it is scared stiff of =
the=20
worldwide reaction to doing so.=20
<P>Whereas in the past, Sharon and the rest of the Israeli =
leadership were=20
more concerned with ensuring that a Jew was able to live in peace =
and=20
security in any part of his God-given homeland, their priorities =
now lie=20
in tickling the sensibilities of world leaders like George W. =
Bush.=20
<P>And so, instead of securing its people by defeating terror, =
Israel is=20
to flee before it, signaling to the Arabs, whether Sharon =
recognizes it or=20
not, that a combination of low-level violence and international =
sympathy=20
for the "Palestinian" cause will eventually achieve what =
full-scale=20
invasion could not.=20
<P>Clearly, this re-gathered, physically reconstituted nation has =
yet to=20

<P>"We have another partner in these decisions, the Master of the=20
Universe. We must show the Master of the Universe that we are =
willing to=20
sacrifice ourselves for the Land of Israel and He will help us."=20
<P>The prophet Zephaniah writes:In that day it shall be said to=20
Jerusalem:"Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD =

God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save." (Zephaniah 3:16)=20

"fear not,=20
for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will =

of the 1980's, Ronald Wilson Reagan dominated the American =
political=20
landscape as no man had since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The =
attitude of=20
most Jews, however, was that Reagan's presence in the White House =
was a=20
not altogether pleasant fact of life, something about which they =
could do=20
nothing and for which they bore little responsibility.=20
<P>Although Reagan's share of the Jewish vote in the 1980 election =
was 39=20
percent - the best showing among Jews for a Republican =
presidential=20
candidate since Dwight Eisenhower's 40 percent in 1956 - the =

winning a=20
44-state blowout victory in the nation at large, fully 61 percent =

Jewish voters preferred either the incumbent, Democrat Jimmy =
Carter, or=20
third-party candidate John Anderson.=20
<P>If Reagan's landslide victory over Carter was greeted by a less =
than=20
enthusiastic response from American Jewry - then even more than =
now one of=20
the Democratic party's most loyal constituencies - the reaction =
was=20
entirely different in Israel, where there were real fears of what =
another=20
four years of a Carter administration would bring.=20
<P>For Israeli officials, the fact that a candidate with strong =
pro-Israel=20
credentials defeated Carter was merely icing on the cake; more =
important=20
was the relief in at last being rid of a president they had long =
ceased=20
viewing with anything but distrust. And they were equally pleased =
to bid=20
adieu to the Carter foreign policy team, particularly the national =
security adviser, Zbiegnew Brzezinski, and the UN ambassador, =
Donald=20
McHenry, who along with former Carter officials Cyrus Vance =
(secretary of=20
state until mid-1980) and Andrew Young (McHenry's predecessor at =
the UN=20
until late 1979) had been a constant impediment to warmer =
U.S.-Israel=20
relations.=20
<P><STRONG>The Roots of His Commitment</STRONG>=20
<P>Ronald Reagan had an instinctive affinity for Israel that Jimmy =
Carter=20
plainly lacked. As an actor who spent decades in the heavily =
Jewish=20
environment of Hollywood, and who counted scores of Jews among his =
friends=20
and colleagues, Reagan moved easily in pro-Israel circles. Both as =
a=20
private citizen and as governor of California he was a familiar =
sight and=20
a favored speaker at various functions for Israel.When asked about =
his=20
immunity to anti-Semitism, Reagan would credit his parents, often =
relating=20
the story of how his father, a traveling salesman, was about to =
check in=20
at a hotel in some remote area late one night when the desk clerk =
casually=20
remarked, "I'm sure you'll enjoy it here; we don't allow any =
Jews."=20
Whereupon Jack Reagan brusquely informed the clerk that he most =
definitely=20
would not enjoy it there, grabbed his bag and walked out the door. =
He=20
spent the night sleeping in his car.=20
<P>Few experiences touched Reagan as deeply as did his viewing of =
Nazi=20
death-camp newsreels. "From then on," he said, "I was concerned =
for the=20
Jewish people."=20
<P>"The newsreels of the death camps he had seen in 1946,'' wrote =
Reagan=20
biographer Lou Cannon, "were such a vivid part of his memory that =
he was=20
able to imagine... that he was actually at the site of the =
concentration=20
camps when they were liberated by the Allied armies.''=20
<P>Indeed, in separate conversations, Reagan told then-Israeli =
Prime=20
Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon =
Wiesenthal=20
Center that he had filmed the camps and their grisly evidence of =
Nazi=20
atrocities and had even kept a copy of the film for himself in =
case anyone=20
would voice doubt<BR>about what the Nazis had done.=20
<P>Contrary to his recollection, Reagan, who spent the war years =
in=20
Hollywood working on propaganda films for the U.S. military, could =
not=20
have filmed the camps himself. Given the nature of his wartime=20
responsibilities, though, he certainly would have been one of the =
first=20
Americans with access to those films.=20
<P>Reagan's emotional reaction to the Holocaust sealed what would =
become a=20
lifelong commitment to the Jewish state. And for better than four =
decades=20
he never wavered in his certitude, even when, as president, he had =
his=20
share of disagreements with Israeli leaders.=20
<P>"I've believed many things in my life," Reagan stated in his =
memoirs,=20
"but no conviction I've ever had has been stronger than my belief =
that the=20
United states must ensure the survival of Israel."=20
<P><STRONG>Scrapping Carter's Foreign Policy</STRONG>=20
<P>"Few presidents," wrote Steven Spiegel in The Other =
Arab-Israeli=20
Conflict, a study of U.S. policy toward Israel, "have come to =
office with=20
as specific a vision of the world as Ronald Reagan. The basic =
tenets of=20
his policy could not have been more divergent from the principles =
of the=20
Carter era: staunch anti-Communism, antagonism to the Soviet =
leadership,=20
de-emphasis on the Third World as an object of U.S. concern, and a =
commitment to a dramatically increased defense budget."=20
<P>As his first secretary of the state Reagan chose General =
Alexander=20
Haig, former chief of staff in the Nixon White House and more =
recently=20
supreme commander of NATO forces in Europe. Haig was described as =
"a 100=20
percent supporter of Israel on all issues" by Caspar Weinberger, =
the=20
secretary of defense with whom he often clashed.=20
<P>Reagan's UN ambassador during his first term, the solidly =
pro-Israel=20
Jeane Kirkpatrick, had been a professor of political science at =
Georgetown=20
University. Her writings on the struggle between democracies and=20
dictatorships caught Reagan's eye as he campaigned for the White =
House,=20
and the thought struck him that this was precisely the clear, =
pro-American=20
voice he wanted for his administration.=20
<P>For the Middle East, the Reagan team initially visualized an =
alliance=20
of shared interest between Israel and anti-radical Arab states, a =
plan=20
that for obvious reasons proved unworkable.=20
<P>"The administration," explained Spiegel, "planned to provide =
incentives=20
to both the Israelis and Arabs so they would join the effort to =
block=20
Russian expansion in the area. Reagan, who had gone further than =
any=20
previous major candidate in celebrating the Jewish state as an =
important=20
strategic asset to the United States, would offer the Israelis=20
unprecedented cooperation and increased military assistance. =
Meanwhile,=20
the Arabs, especially the Saudis, would be fortified with arms so =
that=20
they could contribute to the effort. Each side would acquiesce in =
U.S.=20
support for the other because of the assistance they were to be =
provided."=20
<P>The plan sounded sensible, but its implementation was stymied =
by the=20
Saudis' reluctance to be grouped, however loosely, with Israel. =
The=20
administration, rather quickly, was forced to shelve its grandiose =
plan=20
for an anti-Soviet alliance and concentrate instead on bolstering =
friendly=20
nations in the<BR>region on an individual basis.=20
<P><STRONG>The Inevitability of Disagreement</STRONG>=20
<P>Reagan inaugurated what Israeli journalists Dan Raviv and Yossi =
Melman=20
have termed the "Solid Gold Era" in U.S.-Israel relations. =
Certainly the=20
administration included individuals - most notably Weinberger - =
who were=20
less than favorably disposed to Israel, but their influence was =
more than=20
offset by the views of Haig, Kirkpatrick, a number of key =
non-cabinet=20
level aides and, of course, Reagan himself.=20
<P>Even so, Reagan - and this should underscore the inevitability =
of=20
disagreement between Israel and even the friendliest of U.S. =
presidents -=20
found himself engaged in a series of tiffs with the Israeli =
government,=20
particularly during his first term.=20
<P>The earliest friction concerned Israel's destruction of the =
Iraqi=20
nuclear reactor in June 1981. The U.S. voted with the rest of the =
UN=20
Security Council to condemn the action, and briefly held up =
delivery of=20
some F-16 aircraft to Israel, but the reaction was basically a =
slap on the=20
wrist, with no permanent ramifications.=20
<P>"Technically," Reagan wrote in his memoirs, "Israel had =
violated an=20
agreement with us not to use U.S.-made weapons for offensive =
purposes, and=20
some cabinet members wanted me to lean hard on Israel because it =
had=20
broken this pledge.... I sympathized with [Prime Minister =
Menachem]=20
Begin's motivations and privately believed we should give him the =
benefit=20
of the doubt."=20
<P>Later in 1981, a bitter fight was played out in Congress =
between the=20
White House and supporters of Israel over the administration's =
decision to=20
sell Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft (AWACS) to Saudi =
Arabia.=20
The sale was finally approved by a narrow margin, but the =
confrontation=20
left bruised feelings and egos on both sides.=20
<P>The fears of those who opposed the AWACS sale would, over time, =
come to=20
be seen as overblown. Ironically, Israeli military leaders were =
never in=20
the forefront of the AWACS opposition; according to Raviv and =
Melman, "the=20
commanders of the Israeli air force - the officers most directly =
concerned=20
- were willing to live with AWACS flying over Saudi Arabia. They =
did not=20
see them as a serious threat to Israel's security."=20
<P>The AWACS battle highlighted what many in Washington - and =
Jerusalem -=20
felt was the needlessly abrasive personality of Menachem Begin. =
Their=20
concern was underscored in 1981 when, just weeks after the Reagan=20
administration signed a memorandum of understanding with Israel =
for closer=20
military and strategic ties, Begin rammed a bill through the =
Knesset that=20
in effect annexed the Golan Heights. The U.S. responded by =
suspending the=20
memorandum, whereupon Begin delivered a blistering - and highly=20
undiplomatic - tongue-lashing to the American ambassador in =
Israel.=20
<P>Reagan's frustration with Begin reached a crisis point in June =
1982=20
with Israel's invasion of Lebanon, a promised "quick strike" that =
became a=20
Vietnam-like quagmire for the Israeli army and an unprecedented =
military=20
and public-relations fiasco for the Israeli government.=20
<P>To make matters worse, it was during this tense period that =
Alexander=20
Haig resigned as U.S. secretary of state. Haig's tenure had been =
marked by=20
squabbles with other administration officials and his departure =
was hardly=20
a shock, but the timing could not have been worse for Israel. =
(Haig's=20
replacement, George Shultz, initially viewed with some wariness by =
supporters of Israel, would develop a surprisingly warm rapport =
with=20
Israeli and American Jewish leaders.)=20
<P>The U.S.-Israel relationship had grown strong enough to survive =
a major=20
disaster like Lebanon, just as it would survive what some viewed =
as the=20
overbearing personality of Menachem Begin; the failure of the =
so-called=20
Reagan Plan, which called for a freeze on Israeli settlements and =
the=20
eventual creation of a quasi-independent Palestinian entity; the=20
Iran-Contra scandal, in which Israel played a major role; the =
ill-advised=20
visit by Reagan to a German cemetery where the remains of SS =
soldiers were=20
buried; the arrest and conviction of an American citizen, Jonathan =
Pollard, on charges of spying for Israel; and the administration's =
controversial 1988 decision to talk to the PLO after Yasir Arafat =
read=20
some American-scripted lines about recognizing Israel.=20
<P>Through it all, Reagan provided more military and financial aid =
to=20
Israel than any of his predecessors, and the increased cooperation =
between=20
American and Israeli intelligence services proved beneficial to =
both=20
countries. Washington also worked closer with Israel on the =
economic=20
front, and in 1985 the administration signed a landmark Free Trade =
Area=20
agreement, long sought by Israel, which resulted in a hefty boost =
in=20
Israeli exports to the U.S.=20
<P><STRONG>Soviet Jewry</STRONG>=20
<P>The plight of Jews in the Soviet Union was bound to strike a=20
sympathetic chord with someone as unbendingly anti-Communist as =
Ronald=20
Reagan. Concern over the Russians' decades-long repression of =
Jewish=20
religious expression and their refusal to allow "refuseniks" to =
emigrate=20
to Israel was woven into U.S. policy during the Reagan years.=20
<P>"Reagan's interest in Soviet Jewry was immense; it was close to =
the=20
first issue on the American agenda and was part of the =
confrontation=20
between the two superpowers," Yitzhak Shamir told authors Deborah =
and=20
Gerald Strober.=20
<P>"The Soviet leaders," Shamir added, "told me that every time =
they met=20
with Shultz, he raised the issue of Soviet Jewry, and they would =
ask him,=20
'Why do you do this?' Shultz answered that this was very =
important."=20
<P>Elliott Abrams, who served under Shultz as an Assistant =
Secretary of=20
State, told the Strobers that "The Reagan administration kept =
beating the=20
Soviet Union over the issue of the Soviet Jews and kept telling =
them, "You=20
have to deal with this question. You will not be able to establish =
the=20
kind of relationship you want with us unless you have dealt with =
this=20
question...."=20
<P>According to Richard Schifter, another assistant secretary of =
