2. Civil disobedience

Excerpt from JPost:

Settlers attempt countrywide roadblocks

A day after declaring their intention to "paralyze the country" in the fight against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan, right-wing activists made good with their threat Tuesday night and blocked off almost simultaneously central Israeli highways near Netanya, Tel Aviv and Ma'aleh Adumim. 99 people were arrested during the demonstrations...

Burning tires and waving anti-disengagement banners, dozens of right-wing activists shut down Road 2 near the Poleg Junction outside of Netanya for half-an-hour during rush hour causing a huge pileup of cars in both directions. An hour earlier, a group of right-wing youths burned tires and blocked off the central road which links Jerusalem to the Dead Sea outside the settlement of Mitzpeh Yeriho. Large police forces flocked to both scenes, dispersed the demonstrations and reopened the roads. 33 activists were arrested by Netanya police...

66 people – from Jerusalem and the West Bank – were arrested by Tel Aviv police Tuesday night after they were spotted gathering near the Glilot Junction just outside of Herziliya. Police, who also apprehended a number of suspects on a bus in the area, said the group was preparing to block the road...

Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz takes a grave view of the tactic of blocking roads as a means of protest against the disengagement from Gaza and will consider stiff measures against those who do so, Justice Ministry sources said on Monday.

Mazuz ordered State Attorney lawyers to meet with police and ready themselves with a spectrum of charges to cover the different types of measures that protesters might take to disrupt traffic.

According to the sources, the most serious charge that Mazuz will file, in applicable circumstances, will be that of endangering life on a thoroughfare, a charge which calls for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

I tip my hat to the courageous Yesha pioneers who are fighting for their home and hearth, using non-violent civic action, in the face of a repressive state machine.

3. The daily dose of abuse meted out by The Ragsheet

Readers of this column are aware that the PLO de facto organ, al-Ha'aretz, metes out an almost daily dose of abuse against Yehsa's patriots. Today's installment, "Effi Eitam's demonstration" includes these paragraphs:

[W]hen MK Effi Eitam announced that he plans to move to Gush Katif with his family, there is something counterfeit in his voice and his highly publicized search for a house in the south - it's the sight of a hollow demonstrative act...

The sheer nonsense in the highly publicized decision by Eitam to move south can be seen in its very declared purpose: to increase artificially the number of Jewish settlers living there.

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.
