Having made a fool of himself on international TV, showing the Army and the police against farmers, ordinary families and teenagers whom he demonized as dangerous people, he now needs to justify the ‘lie’. He needs to mount show trials against good Jews with the Leftist Supreme Court lending its ever-present political assistance.
Show trials need tainted evidence and managed news via an accommodating Media. In Israel the Hebrew Press has evolved into actual political parties, dedicated to Leftist ideals and hostile to those called the Right, particularly the settlers.
For example, Ha’aretz had a Special Magazine pre-prepared for the great occasion, dated Monday August 15, 2005 (appearing August 19th), titled: "Goodbye to all that: Ha’aretz writers put disengagement in perspective." 22 writers, from the good, the bad and the ugly (in their words). It seems as if this magazine was paid for with ads from the very Left organizations, like Peace Now, B’tselem - Israeli Info Center for Human Rights in Occupied Territories; Physicians for Human Rights-Israel; Gush Shalom; The Israel Democracy Institute; Mossawa Center - the Advocacy Center for Arab Citizens of Israel; Floersheimer Institute for Policy Studies. I would summarize it for you but, frankly, after reading the first few and skimming the rest, I was too nauseous to continue. Clearly, the Leftist Press joined the Arab Muslim Palestinians who were dancing in the streets and shooting guns in joy.
When Sharon and his collaborators were first contemplating this self-serving move to make Gaza/Gush Katif ‘Judenrein’ (free of Jews), they knew they could count on the Hebrew Press - except for one: Arutz 7. This Media outlet of radio and TV live programs, hourly news, Torah studies, social services’ self-help, and good old Zionist music, reported factually on every trick used by either the Labor Left under Rabin/Peres and later under Sharon. Therefore, Sharon used the power of his office to raid their offices, close it down and shut it up (even though Arutz 7 was broadcasting from a ship in international waters, which was very expensive). Now you can read Arutz 7 daily by Email and Internet. But, the truth could not be allowed to be told, in anticipation of what Sharon, Weisglass, Ehud Olmert, etc. were about to pull off. He also arranged to have the principals of the station tried and charged with heavy fines. Dictators cannot tolerate witnesses to their crimes.
When Sharon started his ‘Disengagement’ Scheme, there were those who saw far beyond this move. His motives were recently exposed in a live 7 minute interview on Channel 10 Israel TV with the book "Boomerang", written by 2 Israeli Leftist journalists, showing that Sharon initiated the "Disengagement" because he needed to mislead the public away from the criminal charges of financial corruption against him and his sons.
High ranking Generals and Intelligence officers tried, time and again, to dissuade Sharon from exposing Israel’s Southern Front to what the Arab Muslim Palestinians were already promising to convert into a fully operational base for Global Terrorism. Sharon not only ignored these analyses but managed to fire those who defied his orders to "Shut Up!". Here I mention the much respected Chief of Staff General Moshe (Boogie) Ya’alon and Avi Dichter, head of Security Services (who later reversed his negative position against ‘Disengagement’). Several other high Officers objected but fell into line under the thuggish threats of the "Bulldozer" Sharon. Everyone knew from years past that to defy Sharon meant you were pushed away or pushed out - no matter how close a comrade or friend you had been.
By the way, I first met Sharon during the 1973 Yom Kippur War in the Sinai. He appreciated the faxes he received from me on various ongoing issues. I was proud to call him my friend but now there are empty spaces on my walls where I removed the photos (signed by him) which I had taken on the Sinai and at his farm - with his wife, Lily, his mother and two of his then young sons.
REVENGE: NOW THE SHOW TRIALS BEGIN
by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator
Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel (Arik) Sharon is in a rage - we are told - because his mini-war was shown on international television and it looked as stupid as it was.
Sharon wanted (needed) one last, massive war to close out his career as his ‘farewell legacy’, even if it was against his own Jewish people. Since he and his cohort Dov Weisglass had the idea of ‘Disengagement’ to obscure and delay criminal indictments against him and his sons, Sharon has commanded a huge 50,000 men and women propaganda army in their black uniforms, flak jackets and shields. He and his sycophantic collaborators have been shoveling the manure of defamation against the settlers in order to justify his swan song of departure under a cloud of financial corruption accusations.
Having made a fool of himself on international TV, showing the Army and the police against farmers, ordinary families and teenagers whom he demonized as dangerous people, he now needs to justify the ‘lie’. He needs to mount show trials against good Jews with the Leftist Supreme Court lending its ever-present political assistance.
