WHEN YAMIT WAS EVACUATED EXCEPT FOR STUDENTS AND KACH SUPPORTERS ALL OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE MOVEMENT TO STOP WITHDRAWAL STATED OPENLY IN EVERY FORUM THAT THEY WOULD NOT LIFT A FINGER AGAINST SECURITY FORCES. WHEN I HEARD THAT, I KNEW ALL WAS LOST. ALL THE REST WOULD BE THEATRE. tHAT WAS WHEN I AND MY FAMILY DECEIDED TO ACCEPT COMPENSATION AND LEAVE QUIETLY BEFORE THE EVACUATION DATE. THE IMPLICIT THREAT OF VIOLENCE IN ANY CIVIL REVOLUTION IS A PREREQUIEST FOR ACTUALLY WINNING. BY DECLARING BEFOREHAND THAT THERE WILL BE NO VIOLENCE IN MY OPINION IS THE SAME AS WAVING WHITE FLAG BEFOREHAND. THE POLICE THE ARMY MAKE NO SUCH DECLARATIONS SO WHY SHOULD PROTESTERS? THIS IS NOT TO ADVOCATE VIOLENCE BY WHY FORECLOSE THIS ESSENTIAL OPTION. GOV`T. VIOLENCE AGAINST PROTESTERS WORKS IN THEIR FAVOR(PROTESTERS). A LOT OF 14YR. OLD BOYS AND GIRLS PUT IN PRISON IS GOOD FOR THE CAUSE OF PROTESTERS.THIS GOV`T. SHOULD BE MADE TO LOK AS BAD AS CAN BE FIRSTLY AT HOME AND ABROAD. THOSE IN THE MEDIA THAT ARE WILLING TO CLOSE THEIR EYES TO THE MOST GROSS ABUSES OF CITIZENS HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS, THOSE JUDGES WHO ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT REVISIONIST CANARDS,TO MAKE RULINGS THAT CONTRADICT THEIR OWN PREVIOUS RULINGS, TO REDUCE THE BUGSLALO PREMIS TO SUCH A LOW STATE THAT IT IS EFFECTIVLY MEANINGLESS, POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO LOYALTY NOR TO STATE OR DEMOCRATIC NORMS,TO ALL CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE SILENCE IS SO DEAFENING, JUST WHEN IT SHOULD BE LOUDEST. WHAT ALL THIS SEEMS TO SUGGEST IS THAT ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED HAVE FAILED ISRAELI DEMOCRACY, ITS CITIZENS AND THEMSELVES. IF THE END JUSTIFYS THE MEANS CHECKMATES ALL LIBERAL AND HUMANISTIC NORMS THEN THE ONLY COUSRSE LEFT FOR THOSE WHOSE BASIC RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TRAMPLED UPON IS TO SEEK REDRESS IN ANYWAY THEY CAN,EVEN BREAKING LAWS, YES AND EVEN THE USE OF FORCE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE DARK FORCES CURRENTLY MASSED AGAINST THEM. SELF DEFENSE IS ALSO A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. THE CURRENT PROTEST LEADERS HAVE MADE THE SAME MISTAKES AS THEIR PREDECESSORS. THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF WINNING THIS INTERNAL CONFLICT BUT THEY WANT GREAT THEATRE. I HOPE THAT AT LEAST THE YOUNGER GENERATION WILL SEE THROUGH THESE FUNCTIONARIES IN TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE AFTER THEY LOOSE THIS BATTLE THE MAY BE SO DISOLOUSIONED THAT ALL SETTLEMENT MOVEMENT IS LOST, IF NOT NOW VERY SOON. THE ONLY CLEAR VOICE THAT SEES THE SITUATION AS IT IS WITH NO APPARENT PERSONAL AGENDA IS HK. ELDAD, HE IS RIGHT ON IN MOST OF HIS EVALUATION OF SITUATION AND LIKE HIS FATHER DR. ISRAEL ELDAD IS TRUE TO ZIONIST AND JEWISH FUNDAMENTALS. ALL THE REST SEEM TO BE JOCKYING WITHIN THEIR OWN PERSONAL AGENDAS, AS SPORTS REPORTER ONCE COMMENTED ON TV DURING SOCCOR GAME" THIS IS NO WAY TO BUILD A DEFENSIVE WALL".
