“We will not forget and we will not forgive.”
I have stayed away, until now, from scholarly detached, “even-handed” pieces which accept that the Expulsion was an unstoppable “fait accompli” from the moment that the words were uttered by Sharon (and his trial-balloon man Olmert). But here is a piece from someone seemingly detached from faith-based philosphy.

Two Reports on HaIvri Acquital;
High Court Justice Acquits HaIvri
Excerpt;
“An amendment to the law pertaining to the prevention of terror led Haivri to request a new trial. While the state decided granting a new trial was not justifiable, considering the time and money invovled, Chief Justice Prof. Aaron Barak acquitted Haivri.”

Retrial for Man Who Lauded Rabin Murder
Excerpt;
“The Supreme Court determined … later in the separate case that a clause in the anti-terrorism decree … is limited only to the praise and encouragement of violent acts of terror organizations.
