| | | 1. Netanyahu: Sharon Will Start a New Party
|  | | By Hillel Fendel
Former Prime Minister Netanyahu, Ariel Sharon's main adversary in the Likud, says Sharon knows the Likud won't let him carry out further withdrawals, and will therefore quit and form his own party.
| With the entire country awaiting Sharon's word on this fateful decision - whether to run with the Likud, or to start a competing party - Netanyahu says he already knows what will be. He may be simply trying to manipulate Sharon's decision, however.
Speaking with veteran journalist Yosef Evron, Netanyahu said, "Sharon knows that the Likud as a party will never accept his dictates for additional withdrawals, in the framework of the Roadmap or in a unilateral and arbitrary manner, as happened in Gush Katif. Every territorial compromise in the future will be contingent upon a referendum. Therefore, he has been left with no choice but to [try to] carry out his policies via a different party."
Prime Minister Sharon has dropped hints over the past few weeks that he may quit the Likud and start his own party. The matter has become more acute in the last ten days, however, since the surprise victory of Amir Peretz over Shimon Peres in the race for Labor Party chairman. Aides say Sharon's final decision will be announced on Tuesday, intimating that though it is still too close to call, he is leaning towards quitting the Likud.
Netanyahu told Evron that the Likud "has always been a nationalist centrist party, with willingness to enter into diplomatic agreements at any time, to the extent that a responsible partner is found... Unfortunately, the Palestinians have so far not proven themselves as worthy and true partners for serious negotiations. Sharon's policy of giving away land with nothing in return has been understood as weakness and a reward for terrorism. I opposed this. I am totally resolute not to allow the construction of a seaport in Gaza, which would serve as a free and safe passage for large amounts of heavy weapons for the Palestinian terror gangs - not only in Gaza, but also in Judea and Samaria, and would also bring the Kassams closer to central Israel. The Likud must wake up and return to itself, and the sooner the better for the nation and the country."
Though Evron does not hide his sympathy for Netanyahu, he pulled a fast one on him in the course of the interview. Evron reminds the readers that a year ago, Netanyahu said, "One of the most important lessons I learned when I was Prime Minister is that you must dedicate much more time to inter-personal communications... This is important."
Evron then writes, "I pulled a letter out of my briefcase that was sent to him personally while he was Finance Minister [from February 2003 until August 2005] and which never received an answer. 'Were you ever aware of this letter?' I asked. He browsed through it slowly, and shook his head negatively. 'I know,' he whispered sadly, 'that not everything was done well regarding interpersonal communications during my term as Finance Minister, and there are many who criticize me for it, including close friends... But,' he added, almost in a whisper, 'I was totally engrossed at that time in saving the economy of the State of Israel, which was on the verge of collapse. All my time and efforts I dedicated to the shift from the culture of allocations, which perpetuated poverty, to the work circle."
Netanyahu finally resigned from the Cabinet just ten days before the implementation of the expulsion from Gush Katif and northern Shomron. He explained at the time that he had not quit earlier because he did not want to jeopardize his plan for the economy. "Only a few people know," Evron wrote, "how much he was torn between two opposing urges: to quit the government immediately, and to complete his economic reforms."
"Towards the end of my term," Netanyahu told Evron, "Israel's growth was the highest in the western world, and the inflation was the lowest."
The former Prime Minister favors the partition fence: "We must complete, without delay, the construction of the fence in Judea and Samaria, and the route must include the large settlement blocs: the expanded Ariel bloc, Gush Etzion, Maaleh Adumim, and Route 443 from Tel Aviv to united Jerusalem."
Left out of Netanyahu's plan are Yesha communities such as Kiryat Arba, Hevron, Beit El, Shilo, Psagot, Ofrah, Kokhav HaShachar, Tapuach, Elon Moreh, Yitzhar, Talmon, Dolev, Nachliel, N'vei Tzuf, Mevo Dotan, and many more.
Despite the above, Netanyahu says he has not given up on retaining land behind the fence: "Our goal must be to preserve, in the agreements, most of the territory. I'm not talking about annexing Palestinian populations. But large areas - 2/3, if not 3/4 - of Judea and Samaria are still empty of both Jews and Arabs, but are full of historic, strategic and security importance for us. Most of southern Mt. Hevron, and the Jordan Valley except for some villages, and the slopes of the Shomron mountain ridge, are all empty."
Netanyahu added that Israel's agreement to the establishment of a Palestinian state "is a fateful mistake that must be corrected without delay." He said that the expulsion was "a traumatic and unnecessary move. Any evacuation of communities must be raised as an issue only in the framework of final-status talks, with a Palestinian partner that has repressed terrorism, and with Israeli demands on the Palestinians. The unilateral withdrawal has just strengthened the terrorists' motivation. Even now they are saying that terrorism got us out of Lebanon and Gaza, and that it will get us out of Judea and Samaria, and in the end, out of the entire country."
Netanyahu said that the Likud must make major changes in "Israeli society and state institutions, in areas that were neglected up to now - media, law, etc. The time has come already to change the balance of power in the control centers, which have not changed [in decades] since the days of Mapai rule, and give better representation to the entire public."

| | 2. Election Race Opens with March 28 Possible Vote Date
|  | | By Scott Shiloh
Likud and Labor look toward March 28 as the likely date for elections. If Sharon bolts the Likud, at least six candidates have expressed their desire to succeed him as head of the party.
| At a meeting between Likud Knesset faction chairman MK Gidon Saar and his Labor party counterpart, MK Ephraim Sneh, a tentative agreement was set for making March 28 (Adar 28) the date for new parliamentary elections.
Saar said, however, that the final date will be announced only after the Likud consults with the other Knesset parties, as well as within its own divisive list of MKs.
Sneh said after the meeting that the March 28 date had in fact been selected.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is supposed to announce by Tuesday whether he will run for prime minister as head of a new party, leaving the race to head the Likud party wide open. Whoever succeeds Sharon as head of the Likud will become the Likud’s candidate for prime minister.
Front runner MK Binyamin Netanyahu said he expects Sharon to form his own party, because the Likud mainstream would not support further unilateral withdrawals from territories and Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Netanyahu served as prime minister from 1996-1999, and as finance minister in the Sharon government.
Other candidates for the top party post include MK Uzi Landau, a staunch opponent of Sharon’s disengagement policy, as well as Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz, Agriculture Minister Yisrael Katz, Education Minister Limor Livnat, and Moshe Feiglin, a Likud activist. Mofaz, Katz, and Livnat said they would run only if Sharon announces that he is leaving the party.
As expectations mount that Sharon is set to bolt the Likud, MK Uzi Landau has asked the chairman of the Likud central committee, Minister Tzachi HaNegbi, to temporarily fill the position as Likud head until primaries are held and a new leader is selected.
Landau said on Sunday morning, “If Sharon leaves the Likud, I’ll demand an emergency meeting of the central committee” in order to hold party primaries “within a few days.”
Statements made by Sharon at Sunday’s cabinet meeting, expressing his hopes to continue working with Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres, have been interpreted by some to indicate Sharon’s preference for forming his own party, perhaps together with Peres. Peres, 82, was recently ousted as head of the Labor Party by upstart MK Amir Peretz, former head of the country’s largest labor union.
At what may be the government’s last cabinet session with Labor participation, Peres said that Israel’s national mission was to execute further withdrawals from Judea and Samaria. He said that Israel must be prepared to relocate and resettle more Jewish refugees from evacuated areas.

|  | | By Hillel Fendel
This week marks the 20th anniversary of Jonathan Pollard's imprisonment - and possibly the largest-ever demonstration on his behalf. It will be held in Jerusalem this Wednesday.
|
The protest against Pollard's continued incarceration will be held at Independence Park and Agron St. in the capital, beginning at 5 PM. It will feature a long line of protestors, mainly youth, forming a human chain handcuffed together and carrying four-foot tall posters of Pollard's likeness. Group transportation is being arranged from many places throughout the country.
In attendance will be Israel's Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar, former Israeli captive in Egypt Azzam Azzam, and former Soviet refuseniks.
Pollard was given a life sentence 20 years ago for having passed classified information to Israel - but not, as is often alleged, of treason or of compromising US agents or codes. The median sentence for his offense is 2-4 years; only Pollard has ever received a life sentence, despite the plea bargain agreement he reached with the prosecution. The FBI concluded after nine months of polygraph tests that he was not a mercenary, and his ideological motivation was recognized by the sentencing judge, who declined to fine him.
Pollard's wife Esther, whom he has designated as his spokesperson to the outside world, told Arutz-7 today one message that she hopes will be understood at this week's rally:
"People look at this case and think that it's ordinary and just-to-be-expected that he has survived so long. But the fact is that every day that he survives is a miracle. Recently, the papers were full of the news that a Jew who entered prison was killed three days later; that is the type of thing that should have been expected in Jonathan's case as well. That was even the plan, among those who wished to put him out of the picture; when it didn't happen, they were very irritated. When they transferred him to Butner Prison in North Carolina in 1993, they even sent a Mossad agent to urge him to kill himself... The fact that he survives and that we relate to this as anything other than a miracle - that shows that something is wrong with our way of looking at things...
"G-d has performed clear miracles for 20 years by keeping him alive and sane. Take a look at all the different prayers said for him - so many different versions of the prayer, written by so many leading rabbis, recited by so many people in so many places around the world, for such a long time - and all for one person - this is clearly a phenomenon, that G-d has given us an opportunity to unite on behalf of this mitzvah [Torah commandment] of Redeeming Captives. It's simply a desecration of G-d's Name and an outrage that he's still in prison."
Asked if anyone can visit him in prison, Mrs. Pollard said that for anyone outside the immediate family, the media, or public officials, the procedure is very long and complex, if at all possible.
A-7: "People read about Pollard all the time, and many of them are frustrated at the fact that this has been allowed to go on for so long. What can private citizens do?"
Esther Pollard: "The emphasis has to be here, in Israel. The official American Jewish community has chosen to completely absent itself from this struggle. The major Jewish organizations have been repeatedly asked by our attorneys and others to do the most minimal things... We've been trying for 20 years to have grassroots groups there, but what happens is that once they start building up momentum, they turn to Jewish leaders and organizations, which then sabotage them instead of galvanizing them. The only organization in the US that has supported Pollard 100% is the National Council of Young Israel, and they're already doing more than they can... What people can do is to support the activities of the [Israel-based] Committee to Bring Jonathan Home, run by Nissan Gan-Or and Adi Ginzberg."
The connection between Pollard and Gush Katif is not lost on the Pollards, and this message will also be emphasized at the rally. "Jonathan has been saying for years," Mrs. Pollard told Arutz-7, "that any government that can abandon one person, can do the same to entire communities. Take a look and you'll see that the Pollard pattern has simply repeated itself in the expulsion, but multiplied by a few thousand. In both cases there were promises that went unfulfilled, money for PR to falsely advertise how much help was being given, abandonment, etc."
Tomorrow [Monday], by order of Education Minister Limor Livnat - and at the urging of the Pollard volunteers - an hour is to be devoted in all of Israel's schools to the Pollard issue. The "Youth for Pollard" group says it will keep track of how the order is fulfilled.
Mrs. Pollard has mixed feelings about the idea. "We're of course delighted that the Education Ministry is finally doing something that should have been done 20 years ago," she told Arutz-7. "But we are also saddened at the way it's being done. It seems that though the right instructions have been given, the background is very lacking. Israel has never really communicated an official policy about Pollard - not to itself, nor to the US - and this is reflected in the type of background materials, such as newspaper clippings, that were distributed to the teachers."
As a prime example of the lack of policy, she cited the fact that though Israel "recognized him as an official agent in 1998, it never informed the US Justice Department of such! This means that the U.S. continues to relate to him and treat him as a common criminal - instead of as an agent, who is treated the way the U.S. would like other countries to treat its agents. Israel never transferred a copy of the official announcement to the U.S. Justice Department. Even when we tell the Israelis in real-time that he's being mistreated, nothing is done."
As another example of the lack of clear policy regarding Jonathan Pollard, Esther says that he is not listed on the Defense Ministry's site of captives. "Azzam Azzam [who was falsely arrested and imprisoned by Egypt on espionage charges] and Elchanan Tenenbaum [who was kidnapped by Hizbullah while on a dubious business trip to Lebanon] were placed on the list, and their families received benefits. We, on the other hand, have not received a penny - contrary to government claims."

| | 4. Kfar Darom: Still Awaiting a Move to Ashkelon High-Rise
|  | | By Hillel Fendel
The 58 families of Kfar Darom, more than three months after their expulsion from Gush Katif, are still "just about" to move out of their Be'er Sheva hotel into a high-rise building in Ashkelon.
| [photo: the Kfar Darom synagogue, which was desecrated by Arab vandals shortly after Israel withdrew from the town in August]
The deal has been in the works for at least three months, with intermittent reports of failure and success, and was finalized just two weeks ago. The families have still not moved in, however, as the contractor has still not completed refurbishing the apartments.
The first group of ten apartments is to be ready a week from now, with another ten units ready each week thereafter. The contractor has said, however, that he would try to rush up the work, in the knowledge that a drawn-out process of moving out of Be'er Sheva and into Ashkelon would cause the people of Kfar Darom many problems.
"Mainly," one resident said, "it will cause us a problem with our school - the one that we transplanted from Kfar Darom to here. If half the families are in Be'er Sheva and half in Ashkelon, where should the school be?" He said that at present, the opening-day ceremony for the Kfar Darom school is scheduled for the 4th day of Kislev, only two weeks from now, "but we will play it by ear."
Though used to the wide open outdoor spaces of their rural town, the families of Kfar Darom agreed within days of their expulsion to move to the urban high-rise apartment building. "Our goal is to be with the people, to remain in the center, to be able to have an influence," one resident said, just days after he, his family and their neighbors were forcibly plucked out of their homes and dropped off in Be'er Sheva.
The delay in moving into the building was caused by bureaucratic entanglements regarding the purchase of the building. In the end, the government did not purchase the entire building, but only 26 apartments; the Disengagement Authority will rent additional apartments as needed.

|  | | By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Jewish Americans leaders urged Rice to change tactics and directly impose on Israel an agreement to re-open the Rafiah border, but even liberal leaders worry Israel's security has been breached.
| U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice last week broke her previously stated policy of "guiding, but not directing" negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Rice used "unusual personal involvement" to pressure Israel and the PA, according to the liberal New York Jewish daily The Forward.
Under the agreement, Israel agreed to drop its demand for direct surveillance at the Rafiah border and to rely on video cameras without having authority to intervene on matters of security.
The left-wing Israel Policy Forum, Reform movement members and Americans for Peace Now met with Rice to express their backing before her recent trip to the Middle East. The Forum also sent a letter to Rice stating the "strong support" that the Bush administration has "from Jewish Americans on both sides of the aisle."
A letter-writing campaign is underway to U.S. President Bush and Secretary Rice. its gist is that they are gravely endangering Israel by allowing the PA to control the Gaza border.
The Rafah agreement is in direct contradiction to the Disengagement law, according to left-wing activist Meron Benvenisti. He wrote in the Hebrew daily Haaretz, "One should not dismiss the importance of the Rafah agreement, [which] contradicts the Disengagement plan as approved by the Knesset. [The law] stated that Israel will oversee and guard the external land envelope."
Abe Foxman, director of the liberal Anti-Defamation league (ADL), told The Forward, "I am nervous about this" because Israel's security may have been compromised. "I worry because there is a basic asymmetry, an imbalance, between the two parties. For the Palestinians, it is about status and sovereignty, which could always be adjusted, while for Israel it is about security and trust. If you make a mistake..., there is no going back."
CBS news reported that Rice staged "a virtual all-nighter before getting both the Israelis and Palestinians to agree to the deal."
A State Department spokesman dodged a question by a reporter who began to ask, "It's the first time that this administration is directly implicated in the negotiations..." Spokesman Adam Erelie interrupted the reporter and replied, "Not really. No, we've been involved very directly and very intensively for a long time."
Rice said that she still is a" big believer" in letting Israel and the PA conduct their own negotiations, but added that direct intervention sometimes is needed.
Her direct intervention was questioned also by David Twersky, director of international affairs for the American Jewish Congress. He said Rice's shuttle diplomacy for "a very small, modest achievement just shows how bad things are. What's going to happen when there is something really important to discuss?"

| | 6. Two Years in Prison for Planning Risky Highway Roadblock
|  | | By Hillel Fendel
A 21-year-old was sentenced to two years in prison for planning to block a highway with burning cars. Explaining the light sentence, the judge says he took several mitigating factors into account.
|
The defendant, Avraham Levkovitz of Elon Moreh, was part of a scheme to bring two old cars to a busy highway and set them afire. The objective was to bring highway traffic to a halt, thus bringing the protest against the looming expulsion plan into the public eye.
In the end, the scheme never got off the ground, because of a glitch in one of their cars. The police then arrested them.
The incident in question occurred on May 3 of this year, in the midst of a public debate regarding the value and permissibility of civil disobedience in the campaign against the Disengagement. Just the week before Levkovitz was arrested, MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) addressed a crowd of tens of thousands in Gush Katif and said, "We will close down the country! ... I want to see civil disobedience. The day is near when those who are not arrested [in the course of this struggle] will see it as a badge of shame." He later elaborated on Arutz-7, saying, "Regular citizens who see a road on which trucks will travel to expel the Jews, should sit there and block it, and not take part in any way in this destruction... It's actually the obligation of an MK to arouse the public that may have fallen asleep a little, and to tell them what is allowed and what is forbidden - and to emphasize that it must be without violence..."
The judge, Zechariah Caspi of the Tel Aviv District Court, described the act in question as "severe and grave, reflecting a violent and anti-democratic approach that wishes to undermine accepted government procedures and disrupt them by force."
Caspi said that he had taken into account several mitigating considerations in his sentencing: the defendant's minor role in the plan (in which two others were more heavily involved), the influence of those others upon him, the fact that the scheme did not get carried out, and the fact that he agreed to a plea bargain and saved time for the court.
Levkovitz's lawyer , Yossi Sillberberg, said he plans to appeal the sentence - which is a month longer than the Prosecution asked for - to the Supreme Court. "The Court apparently did not place enough weight on the fact that we need to mend the society's tears and splits following the Disengagement. In addition, the defendant has no past criminal history, he cooperated with the police, he is a high-quality person, and was about to be accepted to medical school."
"The sentence is totally out of proportion," said Elon Moreh leader Benny Katzover. "It proves how much the legal system is one-sidedly and unfairly enlisted on behalf of future disengagement plans, and their ramifications. I hope that the Supreme Court, when hearing the appeal, will not be stained by the same phenomena."

| 7. Arabs Kill Gaza Youth in Battle over Gush Katif Land
|  | | By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
A gunfight between Arabs over ownership of N'vei Dekalim land resulted in the death of a 17-year-old bystander Friday, as anarchy continued to spread throughout the Palestinian Authority (PA).
| According to Reuters News Agency, the unidentified Arab teenager was killed in crossfire between PA police and an Arab clan in Khan Yunis, an Arab city next to the former Jewish community N'vei Dekalim whose residents were expelled last August.
After the killing, the youth's family members attacked the police station and torched offices and vehicles.
Earlier, two Gaza Arabs had been arrested an argument over land in the former N'vei Dekalim which they claimed was theirs and was invaded by Arab squatters. The detained men's relatives came to the police station to demand their release.
The PA has announced it will build public housing on most of the destroyed Gush Katif communities, but large numbers of squatters have moved in.
Armed mourners shot in the air during the funeral for the youth, despite a PA decree against displaying weapons in public.
Armed gangs continue to defy the ban and have attacked PA offices in Gaza, Judea and Samaria dozens of times. Members of the ruling Fatah party raided a government office this past week after charging officials with corruption. The Fatah attackers posed as Moslem terrorists, according to Reuters.
With the PA elections only two months away, local violence has increased, and two people, including a PA police officer, were injured in clashes in the Gaza area Friday. The Fatah party postponed primaries because of what they charged was attempted extortion by terrorist organizations.
In another development indicating increasing instability, PA Finance Minister Salam Fayyad, who campaigned for fiscal reforms, resigned Friday and said he is considering running in the elections.
The World Bank has criticized the PA for not following Fayyad's advice to cut back spending.

| | 8. New German Subs Could Give Israel 2nd Strike Capability
|  | | By Scott Shiloh
According to German reports, Israel is acquiring another two German Dolphin class submarines. The subs may provide Israel with second strike capability, essential for deterring nuclear conflict.
| Two German weeklies, Der Spiegel and Focus, have reported that Israel will be purchasing two Dolphin class submarines from Germany. The purchase will cost $1.17 billion, with one-third of the cost to be covered by the German government.
Germany provided Israel with Israel three Dolphin class submarines after the first Gulf War. Two of the subs were supplied free of charge after it was revealed that German companies helped Saddam Hussein develop his weapons program. The third submarine was purchased at a cost of $350 million.
During that war in 1991, the Iraqi leader fired 39 Scud missiles onto Israeli territory.
According to media speculation, the new submarines will provide Israel with second strike capability, in the event that Iran, or any other state, attacks Israel with nuclear weapons. Some reports suggest that the torpedo hatches on the Dolphin submarines acquired by Israel have been widened to accommodate nuclear missiles.
Second strike capability is essential for deterring nuclear attack. The underwater subs, which are very difficult to detect, would ensure that Israel could strike back and devastate any country that launched a first strike against it.
The fact that both the United States and the Soviet Union possessed significant second strike capability is largely credited for preventing nuclear war between those two states.

| | | 9. Israel Unveils Airport Security Lie Detector
|  | | By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Israeli engineers are testing a new lie-detector designed to catch would-be airport terrorists and airline hijackers. The technology catches liars by measuring emotions expressed in their voices.
| The machine is being tested at a Moscow airport and will cost between $10,000 and $30,000. Unlike a regular polygraph, it works without physical contact with people. Its voice analyzer picks up uncontrollable tremors in a voice, according to the inventors at the Israeli company Nemesysco, and can catch emotions such as fear and love.
Amir Liberman, the company's chief executive officer, developed the technology for military and insurance claim uses. He said the first stage of the test takes between 30-75 seconds. If the machine casts doubt on the subject, the suspect is taken aside by guards for an intensive search and questioning.
Liberman, a mathematician, added that natural anxiety among airline passenger causes about 12 percent of passengers to show stress. "Some may feel nervous because they have used drugs, while having no intention to smuggle drugs," he said. "The whole thing is performed in a low-key manner to avoid causing anxiety."
An American company, V Entertainment, said the Nemesysco technology is able to measure emotions "like anxiety, fear or even love."
The device includes a signal-processing engine that analyzes incoming voice waveforms and detects levels of emotional states according to the pitch and speed of voices.
American firms last year found the machine to be accurate up to 90 percent, and in a recent test, it caught the one person out of 500 who was planning an illegal act, Liberman said.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has betrayed the Jewish people once again. He has allowed US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to dictate Israel's terms of surrender to the "Palestinians" of Gaza, who replaced the Jewish residents forcibly expelled by their own government.

Although conventional wisdom teaches that "time heals all wounds," the pain and anguish of so great a loss continues. Indeed, it is compounded, as Rabbi Kahane's prophetic warnings concerning the rise of an Arab nationalism that threatens Israel's very survival have become stark reality.
