-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! zemach News Service Week Ending: 15 January 2000 / 8 Shevat 5760 "Thus says your Lord, the L-rd, even your G-d Who contends for His people, 'Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of reeling; the chalice of My anger, you will never drink it again. And I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, who have said to you, "Lie down that we may walk over you"'" (Isaiah 51.22-23a) WITHDRAWAL DELAYED: The next withdrawal from Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza), scheduled for Thursday, will not take place then, an official in Prime Minister Ehud Barak's office said Saturday night. The apparent reason is that maps of the next redeployment are not ready and are not going to be presented at Sunday's cabinet meeting, as planned. Barak and Palestinian Authority (PA/PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat are likely to meet on Thursday in Washington to touch base and try to push forward the final-status negotiations. According to the original timetable, the sides were to have concluded the framework document by mid-February and meet in the US for a summit. Progress, however, has been slow, and most observers foresee delays in reaching agreement. The next redeployment consists of a 5.1 percent withdrawal from Area B (joint Israeli-Palestinian control) to Area A (full Palestinian control) and 1% from Area C (full Israeli control) to Area A. More important than the date of the withdrawal, however, is the land the PA/PLO will be given. The Palestinians expect the next handover to include land in and around Abu Dis, just outside Jerusalem. Certain ministers have publicly expressed support for transferring this land. Arafat is to travel to Washington on Wednesday for a meeting with US President Bill Clinton. Barak, in turn, will be at the nearby peace talks with the Syrians in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, starting on Wednesday. MASSIVE PRO-GOLAN RALLY IN TEL AVIV: Nearly 400,000 people descended on Rabin Square to show their broad support for keeping the Golan under Israeli control (Editor's note: per capita, this would be equivalent to a rally of approximately 20 million citizens in the US). The better-than-expected turnout reinforced recent opinion polls that show roughly sixty per cent of Israelis oppose ceding the Golan in exchange for Syria's offer of a cold peace. Politicians were not permitted to speak at the demonstration, which was organized by the Golan Heights Council, but Members of Knesset (MK) from both the coalition and the opposition were present on stage. The following is an observation by Moshe Kempinski : "As we prepared the groundwork for the demonstration for the Golan ... the general mood was skeptical. 'Would the people respond?' ... 'would they care?' ... 'would it rain?' The first date was rained out and the weather reports were not promising. I was involved with the group responsible for Jerusalem and directly involved with my section of Jerusalem..We discussed the idea of ordering just one ... maybe two buses. Yet on the days before the demonstration we began to get an inkling that there would be great demand regardless of the bad weather ... in spite of the pessimism. We ordered six buses ... only five came ... and we packed them solid. We did not have room for everybody and many people took cabs and private cars. All in all, over 1,500 buses were mobilized by our larger group alone ... and that didn't begin to cover it. As we sat and stood in the crowded bus, the faces of young and old were grim and determined. They were etched with great concern and tinged with sadness. You heard people say 'this probably won't do anything ... but I have to make my voice heard.' The group remained silent all the way to Tel-Aviv. Then, as we approached Tel Aviv and stood for hours on the turnpike and the roads and watched as bus after bus came in ... people began to smile. They got off the buses miles from the demonstration site and began to walk. Young and old, religious and secular, old timers and new timers. We heard Hebrew, English, Russian, French ... and many other tongues. The people of Israel were gathering together to make their voices heard. Suddenly the pessimism was gone ... the feeling of despondency had dissipated ... hope was renewed ... the people of Israel are alive and well and their faith was far from being diminished!! Thank G-d." 'DRAFT DOCUMENT' AUTHENTICATED: The Prime Minister's Office confirmed on Thursday the authenticity of the US draft document pertaining to an Israel-Syria accord. The Prime Minister's Office stressed that the document, which was leaked and published in HA'ARETZ on Thursday, is merely a preliminary draft, and that Israel has submitted to the US dozens of pages of remarks in response. With all the arguing about what was actually agreed upon in the previous talks between Israel and Syria, the Clinton administration is not taking any changes this time. However, Emanuel A. Winston, a Middle East analyst & commentator , states that the document is "bogus" (See article below ed). According to Likud opposition party leader MK Ariel Sharon, the inclusion of a clause in the draft agreement that stipulates Jewish Golan residents be permitted to remain under Syrian rule is a ploy intended to mask the real intentions of the government. Sharon told ISRAEL RADIO that it was obvious that no Jews would be permitted to live under the rule of the Syrians but the inclusion of the statement was intended to send a message to hard-line opponents to the government's policies. Meanwhile, the next round of talks is scheduled to take place on 19 January in the United States. BOGUS ISRAEL/SYRIAN PACT DESIGNED TO BE LEAKED by Emanuel A. Winston, a Middle East analyst & commentator : The usual State Department news spokesmen performed as expected. According to the CHICAGO TRIBUNE(1) the Clinton Administration expresses dismay that the secret U.S. draft treaty, supposedly a closely guarded secret at the peace talks in Shepherdstown, was leaked to the Left wing Hebrew daily HA' ARETZ Thursday January 13. HA'ARETZ is the 'semi- official' spokesman for the Barak Government, denials notwithstanding. This guarded document was predicted to have been first floated at Shepherdstown so the President could have signed it in public as his trophy, but it didn't quite work out as planned. So, Clinton, Albright, Carville and Barak shifted the plan by slipping it to the Left wing HA'ARETZ and then claimed surprise. The language, so carefully drafted, was intended to give the Israeli public the impression that Barak had not already sold out and agreed to a full withdrawal from the Golan Heights. The NEW YORK TIMES claims that the leaked 'treaty' suggestion that Israel (Barak) is seeking to keep its settlers in the Golan Heights after a military pullback from the area. However, it also states "the Syrian position that Israel must withdraw both its soldiers and civilians from the entire strategic plateau". The 1/11/2000 Kuwaiti daily, al-Rai al-Am said that, according to sources, the document reveals Israel's approval of a complete withdrawal from the Golan. (3) How did the Arab daily get this bogus treaty 2 days before it was leaked in Israel? Tsk.Tsk. Mr. Clinton! A careful reading of this bogus document and a comparison between this Israel/Syria treaty to the Israel/Jordan Peace Treaty reveals many key provisions missing from the Syrian document: 1. Human rights are mentioned in Jordan - not in Syria. 2. Propaganda prevented in Jordan - 'possible' in Syria. 3. Hostile legislation repealed in Jordan - Nothing in Syria. 4. Fight crime and drugs in Jordan - 'other possible area' in Syria. [Gimme a break! EW] 5. Free movement of Israelis and vehicles in Jordan - only access to ports in Syria. 6. Remove pejorative references to Israel in Jordan - Syria does nothing. (4) The reason that there are iron covers on sewers is that noxious gases can kill you. The sewer covers on the Clinton/Barak Golan swindle are coming off and the smell is noxious. Barak is floating an idea developed in the early 1980s when Rabin, Peres and others were illegally meeting with Arafat to plan the forced evacuation of the settlers. 15-20 years ago, the settler population was considerably smaller and weaker. And, now the infrastructure, homes, factories, farms and world famous vineyards have become magnificent and very costly to move, replace or reimburse. No one has yet mentioned the lost yearly income which comes from these well established farms, factories, vineyards, etc. Will the world famous Golan Heights wineries and vineyards now belong to Syria? Part of that 1980s plan for evacuation and eviction was to leave those who could not be scared off or bought off in a sea of hostile Arabs. They would soon make the misery index for the settlers so high that the settlers would be forced out or risk death. Can you imagine the 18,000 pioneers living on the Golan Heights, surrounded by Syrian civilians (mostly soldiers)? It has been reported that Assad wishes to place 500,000 Syrian 'civilians' on the Golan. Taking a closer look, these would be mostly military families with officers and men of fighting age, establishing an advance, ready force under Clinton's paper work, called a 'Demilitarized Zone'. So, get this: Israel is to move down from the mountain barrier (which has served to keep Syria from attacking until now). They would be evicted to the indefensible low lands behind a barbed wire fence border. But, not only that, Assad wants Israeli military forces to further demilitarize well back and away from that thin border. I am sure that Clinton, Barak and Peres would likely agree, since dismantling the nation seems to be their top priority. As for the bogus Clinton document which came unzipped and was leaked to the Leftist press . . . don't pay too much attention to its authenticity. It is merely another Carville creation and the Israelis are supposed to swallow it without question. But, current polls are showing that those Israelis approving such a Golan Giveaway have vastly shifted their opinions, including those on the Left of Israel's political spectrum. If this nasty fabrication doesn't work, watch Barak call for new elections, claiming that a 'win' automatically grants him the right to give away the Golan - despite Israeli law and the promised Referendum he now wishes to avoid. ### 1.

Comparison: "Text of Draft of Israel/Syria Peace to Israel/Jordan Peace Treaty" 1/13/2000 by Dr. Aaron Lerner IMRA (Independent Media Review & Analysis) SUPREME COURT FALLS SHORT: The Supreme court Tuesday morning rejected an appeal by the Temple Mount Faithful organization regarding the illegal excavation works by the Moslem Waqf on the Temple Mount. The judges ruled that although the Waqf is indeed transgressing the law, the court will not order the necessary law enforcement agencies to halt the works, since such a move "is liable to disturb the public peace and cause bloodshed," and that such "matters should be dealt with on the governmental level." The justices added a caveat, however: Since the courts are refraining from issuing judgements on issues related to the Temple Mount, it is incumbent on the government to directly address the matter. In response to the petition by the Temple Mount Faithful, the Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Ikrema Sabri, warned Israel against "tampering with the issue of al Masjidul Aksa (Aksa Mosque)," saying "this issue is an exclusive Muslim affair and Israel has no right to have any say in it." ["And He said to me, "Son of man , this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever." (Ezekiel 43.7) "The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom will be the L-rd's. (Obadiah 1.21)] MEDIA IGNORING DESTRUCTION ON TEMPLE MOUNT: Israel's press is turning a blind eye to the archaeological damage on the Temple Mount. So says archaeology student Tzachi Tzveig, who organized last Thursday's demonstration of senior archaeologists in the Kidron Valley. He told ARUTZ-7 about the recent rally sponsored by Zo Artzeinu, "which attracted 5,000 people who protested the Waqf's desecration of the Temple Mount [TNS, 01-01-00]. This was the first time in the history of the State that such a large demonstration on this issue took place! Everyone who was there saw the plethora of reporters and television cameras. Yet the next day's papers totally ignored it! Then came last Thursday's 30-person demonstration, including seven very senior archaeologists. Again, there were many reporters, including foreign and local news services, but neither of the two major morning papers mentioned that the protest even took place. I found out that a journalist from YEDIOT ACHARONOT had prepared a lengthy article on the event, but his editor decided not to publish it." [Editor's note: It is not only the Israeli press; the media in general does not report the illegal destruction by the Waqf on the Temple Mount.] FIGHTING ON THE NORTHERN FRONT: IAF (Israel Air Force) planes struck terrorist hideouts in southern Lebanon on Saturday in the fifth such strike in a week. Two Israeli jets fired four missiles at targets in Iqlim al-Tuffah, a stronghold of Iranian-backed Hizb'Allah terrorists, that faces the Security Zone. The area is used by Hizb'Allah terrorists to attack IDF and SLA (South Lebanon Army) troops in the Security Zone. An SLA soldier was killed on Wednesday by an explosive device planted by Hizb'Allah terrorists near the Soujod military outpost in the Security Zone. On Sunday, another SLA soldier became the first causality of the new year, as he was killed during a Hizb'Allah anti-tank missile assault on an SLA fortification. Meanwhile, amid promises of a withdrawal from Barak, violence against Christians is worsening in Lebanon, where three Christian women, including a nun, have been reported murdered. Official sources suspect the killers are Muslims. Al-Takfir Wal Higra, an Islamic group, is blamed for the murder of Sarah Yazbek and her mother-in-law, Selma, in the north Lebanon village of Kfar Abou. Members of the group beheaded the woman, who was pregnant, and dismembered her. As Israel plans to withdraw its troops from south Lebanon with or without a peace treaty, some 110,000 Lebanese Christians in the Security Zone are concerned about Lebanese and Syrian reprisals against them. The size of the area under Israeli control in the Security Zone of southern Lebanon was reduced on Thursday following the closing of an outpost in the most northern area. SLA forces on Thursday abandoned its most northern position, relocating about one kilometer (6/10 mile) south, thereby reducing the size of the Zone under joint Israel/SLA control. This is another withdrawal from land which rightfully belongs to Israel: "And I will fix your boundaries from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates" (Exodus 23.31) WEIZMAN TO BE INVESTIGATED: For the first time in history, an Israeli President the incumbent Ezer Weizman will be investigated by the police. The dramatic announcement was made Thursday night by Attorney-General Elyakim Rubinstein and State Prosecutor Edna Arbel, who asked that a certain amount of sensitivity be employed by the press in its coverage of the Presidential scandal. Weizman, as revealed two weeks ago by journalist Yoav Yitzchak, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from French-Jewish millionaire Eduard Sarousi. The latter also contributed six million dollars to Weizman's short-lived political party, Yachad. Weizman's attorney, Ya'akov Weinrot, stated vehemently Friday that the President has no plans to resign. Meanwhile, an investigation into possible illegal practices by the Barak campaign continues. The GLOBES BUSINESS JOURNAL reported last summer that millions of dollars donated by an American association in memory of Yitzchak Rabin reportedly made their way to the Barak campaign budget a year before the elections. GLOBES reported at the time that among the board members of the society was Yitzchak Herzog. Herzog's role in the story was given wide exposure Monday night on Israel's CHANNEL TWO, when pollster Dr. Aharon Fine of the Tatzpit Research Institute told of his innocent role in the scandal. Reviewing the details for ARUTZ-7, Dr. Fine said that he had been asked to conduct a survey of voters: "I received payment a cashier's check, signed by Herzog, for my work, and that was that. Then, a couple of days ago, I was called and questioned by a representative of the State Comptroller's office. I now find myself part of an issue that I hope will not be illegal. All I did was to conduct a survey but it is disturbing and unpleasant for my name to be associated with activities that may turn out to be illegal. After I hung up, I immediately called Yitzchak Herzog. What particularly perturbed me was his reaction. 'How did they get to those checks?' he asked me. He was clearly in shock. As soon as I heard this response, I began to understand that something was not quite right." Herzog's signature appears on the checks paid by one of the associations for a survey that eventually ended up in the hands of Barak's election committee, in violation of campaign funding laws. Herzog paid over NIS 28,000 ($6,800) for the poll, a personal contribution by Herzog to the Labor party campaign 16 times higher than that which is permitted NIS 1,700 ($413). BARAK TO CALL EARLY ELECTIONS? The Prime Minister's Office is considering the option of calling new general elections, instead of holding a referendum on the Golan. A victory in the election would give Barak a mandate to withdraw from the Golan [and allow him to pass a new law rescinding the requirement for a popular referendum ed]. A committee has been established to look into this option, in light of surveys which show decreasing support for a Golan withdrawal. RAMON VISITS YESHA: Minister of Jerusalem Affairs Chaim Ramon visited Gush Etzion, Karmei Tzur, and Kiryat Arba Tuesday. While in Gush Etzion, Ramon said that the Barak government is "fighting" to ensure that the settlement blocs in Yesha do not end up in Palestinian hands in the final-status arrangements. In response to a question about the future status of Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem, Ramon said that the area would in the end be taken over by the "Palestinian entity" that would be formed. ARUTZ-7 correspondent Haggai Seri reports that Ramon had difficulty explaining how the Palestinian "farms" that have been established throughout Gush Etzion fit into the above-stated government's plans for the area. ANOTHER PARDON? The Ministry of Public Security recommends "pardoning" the Chief of the Palestinian para-military police, Razi Jabali, who gave the orders to a terrorist cell to murder residents of the Yesha communities of Elon Moreh and Har Bracha over two years ago. Judea and Samaria Police Commander Yitzchak Aharonovitch has complained that the ban on dealing with Jabali makes it very difficult to maintain close contacts between the Israel Police and the Palestinian para- military police. THIS WEEK IN JEWISH HISTORY: 9 January 1180: Philip Augustus (the new king of France) arrested large numbers of Jews while his father, Louis VII, who tried to protect the Jews (though not always successfully) was still alive. All the Jews found in synagogue on the Sabbath were arrested. Philip agreed to free them for 15,000 silver marks. 11 January 1935: Ha'Kibbutz Hadati, the religious kibbutz movement, was founded. This kibbutz movement was affiliated with the Ha'Poel Ha'Mizrachi movement, the religious Zionist Labor Organization. Its idea was to combine religious life and labor in a communal agricultural settlement. The first such kibbutz was Tirat Tzvi. 12 January 1812: The death of Shneur Zalman (Liady, b. 1747). He founded an intellectualized form of Hassidism called Habad (Chabad). His intention was to bridge the gap between the Mitnagdim (opponents of Hassidism) and the Hassidism, combining intellectualism and mysticism. 14 January 1866: In Switzerland, Jewish rights were ratified. Switzerland had been the scene of some of the worst massacres during the Black Plague and a hotbed of anti-Jewish edicts. It took yet another seven years for the Constitution to be changed. This legislation was only passed after the United States, Britain and France refused to sign treaties with the Swiss until their anti-Jewish cantons were repealed.
