September 12, 2005

MIM: After emptying Gaza of Jews Sharon has ordered the IDF to clean up and spare the terrorists the inconvience of having to pick up the debris caused by the deportations and house demolitions.

Gov´t Leaves Much Behind in Gush Katif

By Hillel Fendel, INN

Aviad Visuly: "The gov't/media spin is that Gush Katif is destroyed, except for the synagogues. But in fact, many dozens of buildings, and much valuable merchandise, has been left for Arab use."

"90% of government-owned assets in Gush Katif remain intact, and hundreds of millions of shekels' worth of property will soon be handed over for the terrorists to use or sell. The government did not dismantle anything except for the residents' houses. All the public buildings - schools, yeshivot, children's nurseries, offices, community centers, factories, stores, gas stations, warehouses, shelters and the like - will be given as a gift by the Government of Israel to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, and their ilk.

"But Israel is not only giving the terror organizations inestimable amounts of property and buildings. It is also transferring to them infrastructures and equipment worth many tens of millions of dollars, which they will be able to sell and then use the money. This includes fences of all types, including electric and warning fences, concrete blocks that can be used to protect their headquarters against IDF attacks, antennas, hundreds of kilometers of metal cables, water piping, pumps, irrigation systems, sewage systems, electrical equipment including substations, transformers and cables, and more.

"Sharon and his government thus become the official source of funding for terrorism, and he deserves the Nobel Prize for Terror," declared Visuly.

One thing the government tried not to leave behind was garbage. Some 1,500 soldiers spread out Thursday over the area to be abandoned and attempted to clean it of the trash and refuse that had gathered there over the past three weeks.

A senior officer in the sector told Arutz-7's Kobi Finkler,

"For a month now, we've been eating only preserved food, there's hardly any running water in the bathrooms, and the conditions for the soldiers are most rudimentary. But apparently it's worth it so that the area can be transferred to the Arabs in clean and orderly condition."

Visuly concluded with a bitterly optimistic note:

"The ruins of the houses in Gush Katif are equivalent to the results of about ten large hurricanes in the U.S. - where, in the worst case, people return to live after only about a year. In our case, it looks like the Arabs will never be able to rebuild it."

According to Visuly's reasoning, Gush Katif will be rebuilt only when the Jews return.

Kfar Darom Rabbi: IDF Has Become Army of Slaves, Better Not to Enlist

Monday, September 12, 2005

(IsraelNN.com) Rabbi Shaul Bar Ilan, who was expelled from his home in Kfar Darom and is living in the Paradise Hotel in Be'er Sheva told Arutz-7 Sunday that after much though the reason, he believes, that there were not more IDF soldiers refusing to obey expulsion orders is that IDF soldiers have become "slaves."

"We have regressed 3,500 years," he said. "A slave operates within a system that he is unable to break free of, even if it is made of nothing more than paper. They have taken IDF soldiers and enslaved them - and with a slave there is nothing to talk about because he operated with the strength of the system whose servitude has sent him to act."

"It is therefore forbidden to serve in the army of slaves," he added. "He who can study Torah should study Torah and he who cannot should go to university," he said.

A senior officer in the sector told Arutz-7's Kobi Finkler,

"For a month now, we've been eating only preserved food, there's hardly any running water in the bathrooms, and the conditions for the soldiers are most rudimentary. But apparently it's worth it so that the area can be transferred to the Arabs in clean and orderly condition."

Hundreds of high school seniors have already signed - more are apparently on the way - that as a result of the IDF's role in the disengagement and expulsion, they will not enlist in the IDF.

Yoni Kahane, 18, of Netanya, one of the organizers, spoke with Arutz-7 about the idea. "We expect thousands more to join up," he said.

The declaration is headlined, "We're not enlisting in the IDF, the army of expulsion and destruction!"

It continues, "I will object to serving in an army that expelled Jews from their homes, an army that fights its nation, that burned [sic] synagogues and yeshivot, that destroyed the lives of 15,000 Jews in the Land of Israel, whose actions strengthened the terrorists..."

The signatories are asked to supply their full name, ID number, birthdate, and phone number.

Kahane said that most of the signatories thus far are religious, "of all types - hareidi who meant to enlist in the army, religious-zionist, etc. A small number are from Gush Katif."

He explained that according to law, "low motivation" is sufficient reason to be exempted from serving in the army. Arutz-7's Haggai Segal asked, "And if this exemption is not granted to you, what will you do - go to jail?"

"Each person will react how he sees fit," Kahane said. "We have not gone into such details. [The point is that] these people have put their names and ID numbers out in the open, and the army now knows that we are potential soldiers with low motivation - which the army usually does not want to take."

Segal said, "Whether we like it or not, the disengagement is behind us, it's a fact. But the State of Israel still has many enemies. If a large public doesn't enlist in the army, who will protect the country?"

Kahane: "...The fact that the army provides relative protection - not enough, in our opinion - for its citizens, does not enable it to expel and destroy Jewish lives. By doing that, the army has become 'disqualified' in our eyes, even if it tries to protect Jews in normal times. We're not coming to destroy the army; we're not telling soldiers to desert or anything. We're just talking about those who are about to enlist, and feel that they cannot do so. Part of our motivation for doing this is for the future, that if government considers similar steps of expulsion in the future, it will know how to act."

Reactions from the left-wing were disdainful, as expected, but were not particularly supportive from the right-wing either.

Meretz MK Ran Cohen reacted with anger, saying it was another manifestation of right-wing extremism led by rabbis.

MK Binyamin Netanyahu (Likud) released the following statement: "Refusal is dangerous, and it doesn't matter which side [of the political spectrum] it comes from. National security is founded on the IDF, and refusal is a direct hit at it, and cannot be tolerated."

Pinchas Wallerstein, a leading Yesha Council figure, was more understanding of the signatories' plight: "I am aware of [these] calls," he told Ynet, "but as I see it, these are part of the anger and frustration, and nothing more. It still hasn't come to fruition. It's clear that there are some real dilemmas, but we're still close to the actual event. Our job today is to talk, to hear our people, to clarify our limits as citizens in a state that, it is felt, has betrayed us, with the cooperation of the media and the judicial system. Our job is to change [things]; we must not detach ourselves."

MK Effie Eitam (National Religious Zionist Renewal Party), a Brig.-Gen. in the reserves, said that the pain is genuine, but that the youth's conclusion is mistaken.
