The barrage of insults began during Mofaz's closed meeting with Homesh local secretariat and continued steadily throughout his "town hall" meeting with the settlers. Shosh Shiloh, a resident of the nearby settlement of Kedumim and a grandmother of four children who live in Homesh, cried, "stop now before you end up like Yitzhak Mordechai," Israel's former defense minister, who was convicted of sexual assault in 2003.
The minister smiled meekly as a phalanx of some 20 bodyguards and Special Police escorted him from the secretariat's office to the community center.
There, as Mofaz tried to address the settlers, the demonstrators outside beat a steady chant of "a Jew does not expel a Jew." Some held their babies at the windows of the community center screaming that Mofaz intends to banish their children from their homes. When the windows were shuttered they tried to scream through the cracks. Some demonstrators also entered the town hall meeting and jeered Mofaz as he stood to speak.
2. They aren't even ready!
From JPost:
It is unclear whether the government is prepared to implement the disengagement plan, head of the National Security Council, Maj.-Gen. (Res) Giora Eiland, said.
According to Eiland, who sent a letter to senior officials at the Prime Minister's Office - which was obtained by Israel Radio, "The disorder that has been created is weakening the government and strengthening the plan's opponents."
Eiland describes the situation as a "mess"; he urges the government to convene an emergency meeting, limited in scope, to assess the situation.
