Abrams, considered a pro-Israel element in the American government, said that the US has no plans to suffice merely with the uprooting of the Jewish presence in northern Samaria and Gaza. He explained that the Americans will support Israel's retention of "settlement blocs" only if Israel uproots everything else in the Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.

Of even greater concern to pro-Yesha elements is a statement uttered just yesterday in a session of the Knesset Law Committee. Itamar Yaar, a senior figure in Israel's National Security Council, said outright, "The goal of the disengagement plan is to bring about a new reality, a permanent arrangement in which there will not be Jewish settlement in these areas [Judea and Samaria]."

Voice of Judea Commentary:

We have said all along, that the alleged security fence will turn into the new Auschwitz borders of Israel, and Sharon's plot of disengagement will simply be Gaza and Northern Shomron first, the rest of Judea and Samaria next, and then Sderot, Ashqelon and Tel Aviv. It is not as if the Arabs and the Americans are hiding their piece by piece strategy. Bush agreed to shelve his Road-Map to Auschwitz baby because it is much easier to allow Sharon to begin the dismantling of Jewish homes and the expulsion of Jews on his own than to try and force him to swallow everything at once. Even a man with the appetite of Ariel Sharon and with better than average swallowing skills, would have a hard time swallowing the whole roadmap in one gulp.

For the Americans and Arabs they are simply putting Israel in a mode of surrender, building momentum and precedent for the big kill. After all, if Sharon is giving away land and expelling Jews when there is no pressure and no deal, he will be expected to move forward when there is a new "make believe" peace agreement and when there is intense pressure to continue.

We can now better understand the timing and the context of the recent FBI set up of AIPAC which was clearly sanctioned by the Bush government. Bush is planning to make good on his strong pledge and commitment to British, Arab, other European and Pakistani diplomats. Bush fully intends on honoring his promise to get very involved in imposing a settlement upon Israel and the "Palestinians". I believe Mr. Bush when he says he will be making it a priority.

Those who fall over themselves praising the pro-Israel, Born-Again President Bush don't seem to get it: Bush just loves Israel to death. No pun intended. However, he loves America and his diplomatic ties with the rest of the world even more. And he loves his war on global terrorism. We all know the truth - that Europe and the Arab and Muslim allies will never be true allies against Islamic terrorism. However, Bush feels that he needs them to isolate the extremist elements in the Muslim world. As the congressional findings in the 911 commission attest, Israel was a key factor that triggered Bin Laden's terror rampage. Bush erroneously believes that he will only be able to win his global war against Islamic terrorism by sacrificing Israel.

Bush, who is perceived as Israel's greatest friend is the only man who can get Israel to make the types of surrender that the international community expects. Ironically, Israel could not be worse off and the timing could not be any worse. Sharon is the only politician in Israel who could get away with quelling rightwing opposition to his plan, because he is perceived as the great nationalist rightist war hero. And Bush, who is perceived as the best friend Israel ever had is the only world leader who could get away with entrapping Israel to make the necessary suicidal concessions.

The timing of the AIPAC setup is no coincidence. AIPAC is Washington's top pro-Israel lobby. The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday that the FBI directed a Pentagon official to give the two AIPAC staffers intelligence about alleged dangers facing Israeli agents in northern Iraq, which AIPAC's Rosen and Weissman later allegedly shared with Israeli officials in Washington.

The Arab world, the Europeans and the Americans are about to launch an unprecedented diplomatic offensive to slice Israel down to size.

Sharon is walking right into the trap. Nobody will be there to argue Israel's case now that AIPAC has had their wings clipped off. AIPAC leaders will be expected to sit quiet and watch their own backs, so as not to be accused of wrong doing and of dual loyalty during the most critical time when they will be needed most. AIPAC leaders have received the message loud and clear: Dont make too much of a fuss for Israel during the upcoming months. Big brother is watching and may not be particularly sympathetic to pro-Israel elements who voice any harsh criticism of Washington policy at this time.

I KNOW THESE WORDS WILL BE HARD FOR OUR PATRIOTIC AMERICAN JEWS TO HANDLE. It is much rosier to believe that Bush loves Jews and Israel and that he will always be our savior. It is much easier on our wishful Jewish brains to play intellectual and mystical acrobatic mind games with our selves in the hope of concluding that Bush has lied to Europe and to everyone else and that in the end he will not make good on the promises he has made to them to secure their support for his war in Iraq. However, in the end logic wins out. Israel needs to do that which is good for Israeli interests. And it is clear that there are conflicts of interest between Israel and the United States. It does not matter if we think that Israel and the U.S. should stand alone against the rest of the world. What matters is what America thinks. And America is not prepared to stand alone with the Jews. They would much easier sacrifice the Jews. So lets stop fooling ourselves.

During the Holocaust the Americans would not make minor changes in their immigration quotas and they were thus partners in the annihilation of millions of Jews. America may be a great country and may be the greatest haven for Jews outside of Israel. However, America is America, and it would not be wise to expect the Americans to do more for Israel and the Jews than the Jews are prepared to do for themselves. And that which was is not always that which will be.

Israel must stop placing their faith in America and in man-made gods. Israel must place her faith in the G-d of Israel and stand proud and strong, ready to stand alone and ready to take all of the necessary steps to secure her G-d given borders. Israel must make it clear to the world:We expect nothing from anyone. We will fight for our survival. We will never surrender our land. Those who help us will be blessed in every sense of the word.

This policy might lead to partial or complete isolation. That is fine. It is better to stand alone and to know where we stand, than to fall like fools with some false perception of togetherness. The disengagement plan must be stopped! If anybody thinks that by Sharon giving away Gaza he will hault future U.S. pressure - they are only kidding themselves.
