Sharon damaged Israel's security - even more evidence

From Daily Alert, 2005_03_03:

Palestinian Poll: Disengagement a Victory for the Intifada - Menahem Rahat (Maariv-Hebrew, 2Mar05)

Prior to the announcement of the disengagement plan, 75% of the Palestinian public believed that the intifada had failed, but a few months after the planned withdrawal was announced, 74% agreed that the plan is "a victory for the armed struggle."

The initial poll results appeared in October 2003 in the official PA daily al-Hayat al-Jadida, while the more recent poll was conducted in September 2004 by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research directed by Khalil Shikaki.

According to Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch, the end of 2003 was a low point for the Palestinians. They had fought against Israel for three years, thousands of Palestinians were killed, and they had not gained a single concrete achievement.

Then came the disengagement announcement which caused a revolution: the feelings of despair turned into support for terror, he said.

Two separate and distinct matters converge for a relationship to a third matter.

Prior to the expulsion announcement, the intifida had failed. After; both the perception and the reality showed a success.

Israel's security is NOT determined by the loss of Yesha, Gamla and Jerusalem. This is because the body politic of Israel sometimes has a majority not in consonance with Jewish concepts of security. Hebron has no significance to many. Jerusalem - or the birth place of Budda in Nepal - are of equal significance to many in Israel.

Now look at the governing council of the report's producer, those who generate "Daily Alert". There are corrolations in the "two separate and distinct matters" and also to the third matter, Israel's security. Hungarian Prime Minister Bela Kun was no less Jewish than Natalia Trotsky.

Only until the corrolations are established, can the "problem" be addressed.

The correspondence of Ruth Matar to DPM Peres does not qualify as insight compared to the correspondence between Erasmus and Martin Luther.
