Surviving "disengagement"-Israel, civil disobedience and the higher law By Louis Rene Beres
- - - - by IceViking
"Soon - because of his planned "disengagement" from Jewish lands in Gaza and Samaria - Prime Minister Sharon will encounter widespread civil disobedience and civil resistance1 in Israel. Accompanying such civilian opposition may also be substantial military refusals to carry out eviction/resettlement orders against Jewish "settlers." Significantly, all of these rejections of Sharon's policy of surrender will represent far more than random expressions of anger and protest. Rather, they will stem purposefully and properly from the ancient Jewish tradition of a Higher Law.2
This vital Jewish tradition is authoritatively codified within the constitutional foundations of all modern democracies, especially those of the United States, and in contemporary international law.3 As will be revealed in the following discussion, Prime Minister Sharon's intended policy of overcoming disobedience and resistance in Israel, an essential disobedience that is being spawned by the dangerous consequences of "disengagement,"4 the earlier Oslo agreements5 and the larger "Peace Process,"6 (which is currently renamed the "Road Map") will be harshly destructive of Israel's security. It will also be starkly injurious to the overriding expectations and associated protections of Higher Law."
