Sarbanut in a Jewish-Democratic State :  Refusal to Serve

On January 3, 2005, a reserve unit of the Israel Defence Force was called in to evacuate two illegally installed caravans at the outpost of Givat Shalhevet in Samaria. The soldiers and police officers were met by hundreds of settlers who, throwing up a roadblock, attempted to prevent the unit from entering the outpost. Rocks were thrown, abuse was hurled, settlers branded the soldiers “Nazis.” A soldier was forced to fire in the air after a group of settlers attempted to snatch his weapon. In the aftermath of the clash, residents of nearby Yitzhar demanded that the IDF remove an army outpost which houses soldiers protecting the settlement. The army acceded to the demand.

Why Zionism is not Racism:  Nationalism

Among the many casualties of the renewed Mideast violence is the term "Zionism." Whereas it once epitomized idealism, romanticism, and the best of nationalism to millions of Jews and non-Jews, Zionism today is politically incorrect. [Full article...]

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Update:  Arafat's Direct Involvement in Terror

It has become unequivocally clear from the questioning of senior Fatah figures now in Israeli custody (Marwan Barghouti, Nasser Aweis, Nasser Abu Hamid and Ahmed Barghouti) that Yasser Arafat personally approved funding for Fatah operatives, with the knowledge that it would be used to finance terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. In addition, it was revealed that explosive charges used by the terrorists were supplied from the Palestinian Authority's own weapons depots [Full article...]

Autocrats and Fundamentalists:  Arafat's Fundamental Interest

In his latest article, Aryeh Tepper suggests that it is time to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, including the removal of Yasser Arafat from power. He claims that Arafat is content to continue the conflict with Israel because it deflects his own critics away from the corruption within the PA. [Full article...]

The El-Aqsa Intifadah:  A Certain Tendency to Choose Disaster

The Palestinians are finally beginning to understand that the use of violence in the El-Aqsa Intifadah has not brought them the results that they had hoped for. And now, other voices are beginning to be heard, voices which tout moderation and political reason, and shatter the solid consensus within the Palestinian Autonomy. The price that the Palestinians have had to pay for their faulty political reasoning has been dear-since the beginnings of the Intifadah, many of their illusions have been destroyed, and no end is in sight.

The Palestinian leadership confesses:  The El Aqsa Intifadah: Everything Was Planned

For reasons which are related to simplicity and over-simplifying-certain major facts regarding the El-Aqsa Intifadah have been omitted by the world press. Statements made by the Palestinian Minister of Media and Telecommunication: Imad Al Faludji, demonstrate a pre-meditated design, on the part of the Palestinian Autonomy. This upsets the easy equation of Palestinian stone-throwing children up against Israeli soldiers, armed to the teeth. [Full article...]

Human Rights in Palestine:  Crime and Punishment in the Palestinian Autonomy

We all know that the primary cause of death in the first Intifadah was the PLO’s murder of suspected Palestinian collaborators. Once the Oslo process had begun, and the Palestinian Authority was an established fact, then summary executions, the liquidation of undesirables at the behest of more or less regular militias, became regular facts of life in the nascent Palestinian state. Palestinian human rights activists would be well prepared to study this document for reference in the very near future. [Full article...]

Commentary Magazine, May 2001:  The Palestinians and The 'Right of Return'

Since the birth of the Jewish state in 1948, there have been two Arab-Israeli conflicts. The first one was, and is, military in nature. Played out on the battlefield, it has had more than its share of heroes, villains, martyrs, and victims. The second, less bloody but no less incendiary, has been the battle over the historical culpability for the 1948 war and the accompanying dispersion of large numbers of Palestinian Arabs.

The Al Aqsa Intifada:  The Eternal Disaster (An apocryphal letter that might as well be authentic)

The Palestinians have triumphed in the important battle over world public opinion, and have succeeded in hardening Arab attitudes towards Israel. The price, however, may well prove to have been far too high. Following the substantive gains obtained by the PLO when it exchanged terrorism for diplomacy, the return to violence may condemn the Palestinians to a permanent tragedy. [Full article...]

Points of view:  The Sacrifice of Isaac: The Palestinian Version

For the author of this article, the current round of Israeli-Palestinian violence is dictated by hatred of a brand not easily comprehended in the more developed world. If the Palestinians only had their way, then a new Eichman would be most welcome, ending the lives of six million Jews-this time concentrated in the same country. [Full article...]
