2. Arab terrorists freed, Zionist pioneers jailed

From JPost

A military court on Tuesday sentenced St.-Sgt. Yossi Filant to 28 days in prison for conduct unbecoming a soldier, after he exhorted other soldiers to disobey orders to dismantle an illegal outpost near Yitzhar, the settlement where he lives.

It was the second time Filant has been given a 28-day jail sentence for the same incident. He was originally tried and convicted by a military court for calling on soldiers to disobey orders and for clashing with policemen and soldiers who were tearing down two caravans located on the site.

3. The people against ethnic-cleansing of Jews in Yesha

From Arutz 7:

Moms, Grandmothers Call for Refusal

A 74-year-old grandmother has joined the refusal campaign. She is signing up fellow mothers and grandmothers to call on soldiers to refuse disengagement orders.

Yael Sharaz-Polkovski, 74, has started a new organization for the purpose, calling it The Voice of Mother - the same as a popular Army Radio program bringing regards from mothers to their sons in the army.

Yesha Leaders Ask Katzav for Referendum Support

Yesha Council leaders met with President Moshe Katzav today, asking him to help them in their bid to convince PM Sharon to conduct a referendum on whether or not to quit Gaza.

Katzav did not give a clear response, though his staffers said he would not take a public stand. The Yesha Council leaders said afterwards that their request "did not fall on closed ears."

5. Anti-pioneer incitement of the day

From JPost:

Want a referendum? Think again

One of the questions barely addressed in the public debate on the proposed Gaza Strip and northern Samaria pullout is: Why has the settler movement focused its energy on demanding a referendum when opinion polls for the past year have shown that a significant majority backs withdrawal?

The simple answer is that the settlers will grasp at any straw that could postpone the implementation of the withdrawal, scheduled for this coming June-July, and thus undermine Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's timetable. Adhering to this timetable is essential to the underlying rationale of Arik's policy somersault: it is part of an understanding with the Bush administration on implementation of a string of promises he has made.

Note: "Resistance News" is a daily column devoted to news about the Jewish resistance to Sharon's expulsion and resettlement plan. Let it not be said that IsraPundit observed the ethnic-cleansing of Jews in Yesha and reacted with indifference.
