Source in Jerusalem reports a breakaway clique of
West Bank settlers calling themselves the Judean Authority is
challenging the authority of the Israeli Government to evict them
from their homes and turn over their homesteaded land to the
terrorists called the Palestinian Authority. The settlement that
houses these vigorous rebels is approximately 40 minutes from
Jerusalem in the barren rolling hills of what is called Judea. The
Israeli police have already identified the clique as hostile and
led a raid on the settlement's guard dog training kennel last
weekend in order to intimidate the hotheads. However in the way of
the world when the state turns its brute force against its own
patriots, the nascent Judean Authority grows stronger as the state
becomes ridiculous in its fears of dissidents. The leadership
crisis in Jerusalem, with no Sharon successor in sight, means there
is rich ground for mischief on the basis of the settlements. The
fiasco in the Gaza Strip last summer, handing over Jewish
farmsteads to lawless schemers who have transformed the Gaza Strip
into a rocket filled rogue state that has broken with the PA and
sided with homicidal Hamas, means that the new Israeli leadership
will have no facts to support a new step of evicting West Bank
settlers such as the Judean Authority utopians. Also, Olmert and
Forward are chained to unilateral withdrawal policies: Netanyahu
and Likhud oppose all withdrawals; the PA is broken, powerless, one
election from laughter.
An autonomous, Jewish-only, militant, impossibly unstable Judean
Authority is a fantasy, a dream, a ploy, a trap. So was said of the
Jewish State once upon a time.
