-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! :: ISLAMIC OVERTONES: DEBKAfile's Islam experts note the increasingly fundamentalist Islamic overtones coloring the language and content of Arafat and other Palestinian spokesmen's recent utterances. They constantly refer to "Jews" as the enemy rather than Israeli, and their phraseology recalls the most belligerent Koranic principles laid down by the Prophet Mohammed. One is the duty of believers to avenge the blood of comrades who die for Allah; another allows a tactical peace pact with "the Jews" -- but only in order to advance the goals of a holy war. Arafat sounds much like the arch terrorist Osama Bin Laden in his growing fixation that he is fated to be the historical successor to Mohammad and the early Moslem conquerors. To vanquish "the Jews", he resorts to the Prophet's principles. In an interview to the German weekly "Der Spiegel" published Saturday Dec. 9, Arafat's closest aide, Mohammad Dahlan astonished the interviewer when he said a peace treaty halting hostilities could be attained in a week. Asked how this was possible, the Palestinian security boss replied: " All Israel has to do is to unconditionally hand over Temple Mount to undisputed Palestinian control and sovereignty. That will end the war." Interestingly enough, the Palestinian official made no mention of former implacable stipulations like the Palestinians right to return to their pre-1948 homes or even a sovereign Palestinian state. It has finally come to light that the Temple Mount is the overriding goal of the Palestinian struggle or Jihad. :: ARMY TO UPGRADE LEVEL OF SECURITY AT SETTLEMENTS: The IDF has decided to increase the number and fighting quality of soldiers deployed for guard duty at settlements in YESHA, following an assessment within the IDF that the current arrangements are inadequate in the context of the "Al Aqsa Intifada." Currently around 500 soldiers perform guard duty at settlements throughout YESHA. Most of these are drawn from administrative units within the home-front command, and are poorly trained compared to the regular combat soldiers who serve in other parts of the territories. The outbreak of the "Al Aqsa Intifada" in late September of this year highlighted the need for a change in the arrangement, particularly following a 13 November attack on a bus transporting soldiers to guard duty in settlements in the Ram'Allah area. Two soldiers died in the attack, and the IDF's investigation revealed that dozens of the soldiers on the bus had been unable to respond effectively to the situation. Under the new arrangements, the number of soldiers deployed for guard duty at settlements will be increased to 1,300 from 500, most of whom will be soldiers from combat units. To meet the increased demand, the IDF will use soldiers who are undergoing long training courses, such as the IDF commanders' course, who will be required to serve for a fixed period on the settlements as part of their training. :: IMMIGRANTS STILL COMING! Despite the Palestinian violence, Jewish immigration to Israel remains steady, and Israelis continue to move into Jewish communities in YESHA. Only 40 people slated to immigrate to Israel over the last two months have delayed their move because of the conflict, compared to some 11,400 people who have immigrated as planned, the Jewish Agency reported Tuesday. The figures reflect the flow of olim has held steady over recent months. In France, the number of inquires about immigration has even risen by 10 percent, perhaps in response to the rise in anti-Semitic incidents there. Meanwhile, the YESHA council has reported recently that, despite the escalation in Palestinian violence and the increased number of attacks on settlements in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, dozens of Israeli families continue to move to these areas. While a small number of settlers have temporarily moved in with relatives inside Israel proper, the vast majority of the roughly 200,000 YESHA residents remain committed to staying in their homes, even in the face of continued terrorism and violence. Plans for new housing in YESHA have also been approved. :: WHAT ABOUT THE JEWS? The World Bank on Wednesday announced it plans to give 12 million Euro dollars ($10.6 million) to the PA/PLO as a humanitarian effort towards alleviating suffering caused by Israeli economic sanctions. Bank officials stated the decision was made in light of Israel’s closure that has eliminated the possibility of working for many PA/PLO residents who earn their livelihood inside "Israel proper". Editor's note: There is no "Israeli economic sanctions". Due to the violence and necessary closures, the Israeli government has been unable to transfer funds owed to the PA/PLO. As to the PA/PLO residents that cannot go to work, the same applies to thousands of Jews who, because of violence, cannot leave the settlements where they live. Others, farmers in the Jordan Valley and near Jericho, have had their crops destroyed by Palestinians. The Foreign Commissioner of the European Union is recommending unprecedented sanctions against Israel for Israel's "excessive use of force against Palestinians and for the Israeli closure on the territories." :: WEB SITES OF INTEREST: The new GiloCam camera providing live pictures of Bet Jala is now live and available to the public at http://www.gilocam.com/ The DEBKAfile: http://www.debka.com/ Expand your knowledge of Israel's political situation - Quality Sites! http://www.jewishuniverse.org/israel/politics/Politics1.htm Radio Analysis and Excerpts: The Voice of Palestine: Israel Resource News Agency: http://www.israelbehindthenews.com/ A new web site is under construction for the Gush Katif communities in Gaza.
