Slowly but surely, the traditional stands of Israel’s Right and Left seem to have interchanged. Leftist journalist Yaron London calls to turn Gaza into dust, while Manhigut Yehudit calls to encourage Arab emigration from Gaza by financial and organizational means. Manhigut Yehudit warns against a military incursion into Gaza, while more and more leftists call for a major military operation there. The Left insists that Sderot’s children must stay in the missile-stricken city, while Manhigut calls for their immediate evacuation.

What is going on here? Has the Left become more patriotic than the Right? Not really. The difference between the Left and the Right is not in their respective desires for peace or in their humanism thresholds. The difference is at a completely different point: The point of Jewish identity. Transferring the Arabs out of Yesha as part of an orderly and humane plan to rehabilitate them in some other place on the globe would leave us alone with the Land of Israel. It would leave us with Shechem and Hebron, the Temple Mount and Rachel’s Tomb. It would connect us to our irritating Jewish identity. And as the Left sees it, if we can’t get rid of our Jewish identity by giving the land to the Arabs, then let’s destroy some of them and force them to give us our hoped for normalcy. This is actually the concept that reigned in Israel from 1948 until 1973.

The Left has invented a new, cynical form of ‘patriotism’ at the expense of Sderot’s children. Throughout modern history, children have been temporarily evacuated when their homes came under attack. But in Israel of 2008, that is unthinkable.

Why doesn’t the Left want the children to be evacuated from Sderot? In the past, Israel would fight wars. When we fight a war, we can hope for victory and feel confident that the children will return. But the Left wants to erase our Jewish identity. To accomplish that, it invented the Oslo ‘peace’ process. The solution to the Kassam problem entails a complete turnabout from the Oslo concept. First, it means understanding that this is our land. Second, it means accepting that we are not in a peace process, but rather, in a war over our land. Third, it means that we must decide to destroy the enemy, to triumph in war, to conquer Gaza, annex it to Israel and settle the entire area with Jews. But this change means that we connect to our Jewish identity, and the Left does not want that to happen. So Israel will not really go to war and it will be sure not to really win.

If there is no real victory, the children of Sderot will not return home. In fact, their parents will join them and the rest of the dominos of the State of Israel will quickly collapse. So the children of Sderot are actually hostages of the Oslo concept. They are the cannon fodder on the altar of the Israeli dream of normalcy.

We must demand the evacuation of the entire non-combat population of Sderot. The State must find them a respectable solution in another place until it fulfills its most basic responsibility and restores peace and quiet to the area. The IDF is supposed to be the defensive shield of the State - not the children of Sderot.

“You are not allowed to pass through here,” the Arab said to me. When I ignored him, he stood in the middle of the path and blocked my way. I got off my bicycle and clarified that I would be continuing on the path. “I’m going to call the courts!” he shouted after me. “The courts will take care of you!”

I was not passing through private property. I was riding on a mountain path that is used by the public. But the Arab knew that he had a powerful weapon. Israel’s court system will automatically side with him.

Mordy and Elitzur Harel have been sentenced to long jail sentences. They were arrested during the protests for Gush Katif for planning to block the Ayalon highway with two burning cars. Mordy, his wife and five children are victims of the Expulsion. They were driven out of their home in Homesh in the Northern Shomron. Mordy’s brother, Elitzur, is from Elon Moreh. He is married and the father of a baby.

The two brothers were bombastically charged with endangering life in a traffic thoroughfare. This charge has never been pressed against road-blocking protesters from the labor unions or the long list of other protesters who blocked roads to get their points across. This law can and should be used against those people who truly do intend to endanger the lives of the drivers on the roads. But not surprisingly, it is not used against Arab rock throwers. If they are arrested at all, they are generally released without charge. The extreme leftist rock throwers who have already taken out the eye of one border policeman and caused the death of another will never be sentenced to long prison terms. The Arab who murdered Ido Zoldon, may G-d avenge his blood, had previously been released from prison for the ‘minor’ crime of tying soldiers up and stealing their weapons. The Druze rioters who kidnapped a policewoman and burned Jewish homes in Peki’in received a very severe sentence - a friendly soccer game with the police.

But Israel’s courts have made sure that two young Jewish fathers, who planned to effectively protest the pogrom being planned against them, will be sitting in prison for a long time. Israel’s justice system enthusiastically supplied the judicial tools that the State of Israel needed in order to perpetrate its ‘sensitive and determined’ pogrom against the Jews faithful to the Land of Israel. Clearly, the exaggerated verdict against Mordy and Elitzur are part of the program to neutralize one of the most effective means of protest that the Land of Israel faithful have.

Tzviyah from Elon Moreh has already spent long months in prison. She could have gotten out long ago, but she is unwilling to identify herself or to cooperate in any way with the evil system. And she is right. The courts in Israel are anything but neutral arbiters in the ongoing political dispute raging in Israel. Their lack of objectivity has been proven countless times. As far as Tzviyah and many others are concerned, there is no reason to continue to play their zero-sum game. The left’s political coercion is masquerading as a court and Tzviyah is not willing to take part in the theatrics. She understands that the courts are one of the most effective tools of the Israeli Left and Israel’s enemies.

How do we rectify this situation?

Israel needs a political force that will change the rules of the game. Israel needs legislation that will obligate judges to undergo a public hearing before they are elected and to use Jewish law as the main source of their decisions. Israel needs legislation that will define the extent of the authority of the attorney general.

Evacuate Non-Combat Civilians from Sderot ( 22 Adar I, 5768 – Feb. 28, ’08)
Moshe Feiglin calls upon the government to evacuate all the children and non-combat civilians from Sderot, exactly as was done in London and border towns in Israel during previous wars. “Sderot is a war zone,” said Feiglin. “There is no reason to allow the government to use the residents of the town as human shields. The government must provide respectable alternative housing for the residents of Sderot until it solves the problem of the Kassams that rain death and destruction on the area.”
