State Destroys Amona But Tolerates Illegal Bedouin Villages
Excerpts;
“Last week, Israel destroyed the town of Amona, claiming it was set up illegally. Yet the state refuses to enforce demolition orders against hundreds of illegally built houses in the Arab sector.”
“Knesset members from the National Union party are planning to visit a number of illegal Bedouin villages in the Negev tomorrow, in order to dramatize the extent of the government’s double standard in relation to Jewish residents in Judea and Samaria.”
Excerpts;
“Doubts regarding the circumstances of Knesset Member Effie Eitam’s injury Wednesday during the evacuation of the illegal West Bank outpost of Amona are growing, Israel’s leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.”
“Eitam’s spokesman said in response that ‘police are in panic following the criticism from the Left and the Right over the unprecedented violence exerted against civilians and Knesset members in Amona and, moreover, choose to cast false and ugly accusations against those who were injured.‘”
Excerpt;
“The Israeli First Amendment holds that Jewish traitors and Arab terrorists may call for the destruction of Israel, may cheer terrorists and suicide bombers, and may endorse anti-Semitism – all as protected speech. But making any statement about the Oslo process with which Yossi Beilin would not agree will get you arrested as an inciter; and going to a protest against Olmert’s war against settlers will get you beaten to a pulp by the police and hospitalized.”

Sunday Jerusalem Rally to Demand Public Inquiry into Amona Violence
This author seriously questions the purpose of such a rally unless; 1) It is capable of drawing at least numbers similar to the pre-Expulsion prayer gathering at the Kotel or at least 250,000 Jews and 2) It serves as the kickoff of massive, permanent presences both in front of Knesset and at the entrance of the Prime Minister’s residence from now through 28 March.

More Pictures of Police Brutality/ Apparent Police Brutality in Amona;
This past Thursday, Barak at IRIS Blog posted selected quotes from a column written by Evelyn Gordon, Kadima: The Teflon Political Party.
These two IMRA articles below are companions for the Gordon article in that, just as when Mofaz, during the run-up to the expulsion in Gush Katif told “… his generals that working too vigorously to fortify Negev communities will weaken public support for the disengagement”, “… in the 20 months since then, not only has the work not been completed; in most communities, it has not even begun.”

Commentary;
And just like all other “Israeli Commissions of Investigation” formed in the past, it will probably be one of stone-walling, whitewashing and skewing in favor of the Regime. Just like the commissions after the Yom Kippur War, after the Sabra and Shatilla Camps, after the shootings at Ma’arat Hamachpela in the early 1990s, after the Rabin Assassination, about illegal kidnapping by the Regime of the time of S’fardi infants in the hospital and on and on, Justice is never done, truth is never served by all of these so-called Blue Ribbon Israeli Commissions of Investigation. The perpetrators never pay the price and go free to up the ante, to do still greater sins with total immunity from the people scrutiny. MB
