When you hear absolute, unqualified guarantees by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres or Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz about Jewish land not -- I repeat, not -- to be transferred to Arab Muslims, be assured that transferring it is exactly what they are planning. Their a priori denials are their "trial balloons" to see how much opposition the denied action will provoke.
Sharon has stated plainly that the Gush Etzion block will never be transferred or abandoned to the Arab Muslim Palestinians. Their well-planned tactic is to use the Sharon Wall, under the guise of protecting Jewish citizens, to divide and conquer. If one bothers to track the route of this ghettoizing wall, one can see clearly that it is meant to divide the Gush Etzion area into small segments. When the time comes, Sharon -- under the rubric of the now famous Road Map -- can once again send in troops to evacuate each segmented piece more easily.
Something like this was what the Czars and Josef Stalin managed to accomplish in Russia, by forcing the shtetl Jews into small villages. Historically, this was called a pogrom.
The absurdly planned security fence follows a twisty route, often bringing the fence and the terrorists behind it within a few meters of Jewish homes. This, of course, is an accommodation of Aharon Barak, chief justice of Israel's radically leftist Supreme Court.
Working hand-in-hand with Shimon Peres, it seems that Sharon is ready to move on in dissecting the Jewish nation of Israel, in order to accommodate a Road Map that was a dream/nightmare put together by the US State Department, former Secretary of State James Baker and the European Union, and put into the mouth of President George Bush.
Sharon and his crowd are people born without a deep conscience. Nothing is as important as maintaining power, generating money for themselves and those followers who would sell their mothers to keep their seats of influence. Hopefully, the people of the Gush Etzion block will not fall for the propaganda that Sharon will not sell out Gush Etzion or all of Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the Jordan Valley and so forth, until we Jews are left with a smidgen of Tel Aviv.
With G-d's help, one day, the people will tire of both major political parties and form a peoples' court to bring justice to a nation now buried in corruption. In the meantime, a new council should be formed to handle the affairs of Gush Etzion. The old administration, while no doubt well-meaning, is clearly in over their heads and is too soft, too accommodating to protect the area from a predatory government whose promises mean absolutely nothing.
As a rule, whenever and wherever the Sharon Mafia makes a commitment, assume the reverse. Good people go to sleep without plots and conspiracies on their minds. The corrupt wait until you are fast asleep to begin plotting. Only the next morning do decent people discover that the political mafia has stolen their homes and made common cause with the Jewish people's sworn enemies.
