The Q Is On The Floor -
The Cheating Of Israel

In light of the results of the last Israeli election, let us consider Sharon's withdrawal plan. If we recall, 67% of the voters chose to elect the Likud and it's leader, while a mere 18 seats out of 120 went to the Labor Party. The electorate chose overwhelmingly to throw out the scions of Oslo and get back on the survival track.
 
Yet Sharon on 18/12/03 publicly announced that he was going to cheat Israel on a massive scale by adopting the Oslo track of withdrawal from most of Judea, Samaria and Gaza and uproot tens of thousands of Jews by flattening their villages, and at least one full- fledged city. Sharon did not consult with the government cabinet before making the announcement, in fact, he didn't even inform his own ministers. But look who he did choose to consult with!
 
According to the weekly newsmagazine Makor Rishon 19/12/03, Sharon formulated his program by first consulting with Labor leader Shimon Peres. This meeting was followed by advisory sessions with Labor stalwarts Matan Vilnaii, Ephraim Sneh, Shalom Simchon and Ehud Barak. With them, he not only coordinated his withdrawal plan, but assured them that Labor would be invited into the government after his partners on the Right bolted in revolt.
 
 
And there's much more. Who are Sharon's two closest political advisors? One is Dov Weisglass, the attorney and business partner, along with Sharon's son Omri, of Jibril Rajoub, the PLO's chieftain of Jericho. The other is Avi Landau. Look at the masthead of the greatest deception of the year, The Geneva Initiative, and under the sullied moniker of Yossi Beilin, there is Landau's name. Sharon, for all his lying protestations, sponsored the Geneva stunt.
 
The electorate may have voted Likud but they're getting Labor and Oslo. This is the most flagrant display of cheating Sharon has ever pulled and my reading of the general media is that he's going to get away with it.
 
The question is, how? How can he cheat 2/3 of the Israeli people, and 80% of the country's Jews, without the vast majority understanding how they've been cheated. No amount of logic can explain it no matter how hard one seeks the reason.
 
I mulled the question for a long night, then a personal vignette hit me that did more to explain the cheating acceptance than any political analysis. Bear with me for a few paragraphs before we examine the upcoming consequences of Sharon's wool pulling.
 
Soily Is Good
 
There is a club in Jerusalem that meets to play Scrabble. For a decade I was a member and through arduous dictionary memorization, became a perennial champion. However, even in its earliest days, widespread cheating infected the club. Initially, the rule was that the tiles were reversed, placed face down on the top of the box lid and picked at random. But some players marked the good tiles subtly, so the rule changed that tiles had to be picked from a bag. That led to new forms of cheating. One involved feeling the tiles one by one until the telltale smoothness of the valuable blanks was detected. Another method was looking at the tiles in your hand and sneakily sliding the bad ones back in the bag.
 
No tile was more dreaded in the end game than the Q. It was hard to get rid of on a crowded board and if you got stuck with it at the end of the game, you had to deduct 10 points from your score. One remedy was to simply and quietly, drop the Q on the floor and claim it was there all along.
 
Early on, I got very good at finding the cheaters. My method was to appear to be concentrating on my own tiles while watching the opponent's hands and eyes very closely as he picked his. The most infuriating moment occurred at a national tournament when I clearly saw my opponent throw a tile back during a tight end game. There were only two tiles left in the bag, and wouldn't you know it, I picked the Q after my turn. What unsettled me more than the cheating was the supposed high character of the opponent, a respected scientist.
 
Sickened by the situation, I became agitated and quit the game for a year or so. But I was persuaded to return for a tournament with a big prize: a trip to the world scrabble championships. I played three games that evening.
 
Game one was with a woman I had known since the founding of the club. It was a close game ending with, you guessed it, the Q on the floor. And I sure didn't drop it there. Game two was fair. Game three was with an orthodox religious lady. Near the end she added an s to oily making soily. I knew it was wrong and challenged. She looked it up in the dictionary and declared, "Soily is good." I accepted the announcement, believing this upstanding woman would never cheat me to win. Only later, well after the game ended, did I look the word up myself, to discover that I had been cheated.
 
I appealed to the club president, an insecure, angry person with literary pretensions, to overturn the game. He turned to the cheater and she lied through her teeth to him. He was fooled and the club supported the cheat.
 
In this case, justice was ultimately served. I stopped wasting my life in a pointless pursuit and it blossomed. And the cheater continues with her pathetic existence. This was my first lesson in Israeli cheating. The most unexpected people are engaged in it and the people would rather believe there was no cheating in their world.
 
I quit the game for good in utter disgust and then Rabin was murdered. I had honed the skill of catching cheaters and this time I vowed I would not let them prosper. I caught Rabin's real murderers and though about half the country know it, they cannot be properly motivated to bring justice to their land. They would rather believe that their leaders are honest, the leaders know it, so the cheaters they elected can get away with anything. It is a national character flaw that is proving too costly in lives and integrity.
 
Nonetheless, Sharon is discovering a few major roadblocks to his latest cheat. Perhaps the most significant was the pronouncement earlier in the week by Rabbi Elias that it is a sin to remove a Jew from his land. Rabbi Elias is the most influential Sephardic rabbi, and most of Israel's policemen are Sephardic. They will not defy him. If the police will not remove the Jews of Yesha from their homes, Sharon's scam won't work. And if the Yesha residents resist in number, the only way of securing their removal will be extreme violence or state-sanctioned murder.
 
We know the state is capable of this in secret. Recall the disarming and murder of the three soldiers in Netzarim last Oct. 26. Three young Jews were murdered to persuade the Israeli public that a withdrawal from Netzarim was in the best interests of our endangered youth. Makor Rishon added new details to the Netzarim campaign this week. Haaretz followed the murders with an article in which four officers of the reserve unit which served in Netzarim were quoted saying that the village had to be abandoned. The four officers gathered together to reveal that they said nothing of the kind and that Haaretz had simply, lied to them and to their readers. All for withdrawal.
 
The bloody Netzarim campaign has been dirty but surreptitious. A public slaughter of Yesha residents is another matter. This, most soldiers will refuse to engage in. So, according to a few of my sources, Sharon has brought in Turkish Moslems to the job. Let us begin with an article from the prince of defamation, Haaretz, and assume that this time they got it right:

PM okays 800 Turkish workers here in return for tank deal
 
By Ruth Sinai, HAARETZ
 
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has permitted 800 Turkish construction workers to work in Israel as part of a $687 million deal with Israel's military industries to upgrade Patton tanks for the Turkish armed forces. The workers are being employed by Israeli contractors to build private homes. The money they send home will be deducted from the sum that Israel is obliged to spend in Turkey, under the military agreement which includes mutual procurement.
 
The deal was worked out during long months of secret negotiations between Ta'as military industries and the administration of Turkey's military industries. It was not brought to the attention of the Employment Service which is supposed to distribute the permits for foreign workers.
 
The workers are sent to Israel by a private Turkish company, which is registered also in Israel, and offers them to the contractors. "Instead of the workers earning $200 a month, they will get $800 here.
 
Through his Israeli representative, Nissim Giyus, Arik said that Yilmazlar has succeeded in persuading the directors of the Turkish military industries in Ankara to agree to a year's trial. An Israel Miliary Industries spokesman said: "The permission to employ 800 Turkish workers was given to IMI as part of the agreement for mutual procurement.
 
The deal to upgrade 170 Patton tanks for the Turkish armored corps is worth some $687 million over a five-year period. It is the single largest military export deal ever carried out by the Defense Ministry. As part of the agreement, Israel agreed to acquire Turkish products or services to the tune of several tens of million shekels a year.
 
Israeli contractors are furious about the deal. They consider it a means of circumventing the arduous route they are forced to take to get a limited number of permits for foreign workers. One senior source described it in this way: "Suddenly some firm starts calling contractors who didn't get permits from the employment service, to offer them workers at the highest price possible."
 
"This is trading in humans - tanks for workers - a corrupt use of government channels to get private profits," says Hannah Zohar, who heads Kav Le'Oved, the hotline for protection of workers' rights. She believes it is a dangerous precedent. "China also has tremendous business and strategic potential for Israel but it would demand sending 10,000 workers, not 800. If this is such a good and kosher deal for Israel, why was it not done through the employment service, openly and according to accepted criteria?"
 
A senior government official is perplexed by the arrangement. "How is this possible? The prime minister has closed the skies, forbidden the entry of foreign workers and ordered 50,000 expelled. The government tells the unemployed they must go out and work and on the other hand, it is bringing in 800 foreign workers."
 
The first Turkish workers arrived over the past few weeks and got permits for a year from the interior ministry. Some of them are employed in the prestigious Mashtela project near Zehala, by contractor Yehuda Mizrahi, whose name is not on the list of those permitted to employ foreign workers. Despite numerous requests, Mizrahi was not available for comment.
 
The names of the workers must be sent to the defense ministry for approval. The reason for this is unclear since they are not involved in security work but rather in building villas. Other foreign workers do not have to undergo the scrutiny of security authorities.
 
Why are these "workers" under the scrutiny of the security authorities? Why are they earning 4 times the salary of other foreign laborers? Why are they authorized by the Turkish military? Why weren't they required to apply for work visas like everyone else? Here are two reports sent to me:
 
"About 800 Turkish fellows were "contracted" by the Misrad Ha'Bitachon to work as offset on the Turkish battle tank upgrade to be performed in Israel. Remarkably, most of those were still "idle" until a couple of weeks ago.
 
"No one really knew what "ultimate work" those fine people would do until then. About then, one of our field people received TWO phone calls to meet with the field guys, from mid-rank officers, permanent force.
 
"Two of their sources informed that they just had many TURKISH "immigrants" being inducted into special units. The "immigrants" acted quite well trained already and stayed as a unit. As you know there are SECRET facilities closed to any scrutiny and our conclusion is that those are far from being just "prisons".
 
"Other folk informed that there are Ukrainian and Russian specialized people also dressed for the occasion.We reported a while back that US special units were also seen transporting the HEAVY equipments that may be used. There are no traces of where they are. That some of THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT high "Q" specimens, is a foregone conclusion."
 
* "Our info is that Turkish mercenaries are to be used to ethnically cleanse the Jewish village of Migron, with 40 families, situated in a strategically important point on the highway from Jerusalem into the Shomron, tomorrow or the next day. Verification has been requested of the Defense Ministry, just so that they know we have heard about it."
 
* Another informant spoke to me in person. He doubts that the Turks will be deployed so quickly and believes they will be called into action only in a few months and only if events turn critical for Sharon. He insists that the mercenaries are currently being taught Hebrew and are not ready to begin their operations. When they are, they will be outfitted with IDF uniforms and attack the resisting Jews with Islamic relish.
 
That Sharon is going ahead with the Geneva plan is now doubtless. That rebellion in the police and IDF is a real possibility is equally doubtless. That this ugly Turkish alternative to civil war is being prepared has to be examined quickly if we are to cheat Sharon's fate.

Unrelated intelligence: A Canadian Arab sent to Israel for Hamas training, was arrested by Israel two weeks ago. Not told to the public was his mission. He was to return to Canada and murder NRP head Efi Eitam on a Canadian speaking tour planned for this week. Eitam cancelled his Canadian visit in response to the threat.
 
Correction: For those who did not receive my correction to last week's article. Ehud Olmert was not going to receive an award from Yisrael Medad, rather he was invited to be an honored guest at the awards ceremony. That Medad did not rescind the invitation amounts to the same sin.
 
Question: How could Saddam Hussein have bricked himself into the hole from inside the hole??
 
Attachments: Two Hebrew essays by my readers are attached. The first is an insightful overview of the Rabin murder written by Yehuda Zilberberg.

More book donations at work. Giving the Hebrew edition of Save Israel! to Netanyahu's brother-in-law Hagai Ben Artsi paid dividends with his recent Arutz Sheva essay, promoting resistance to the sellout based on arguments acquired by reading the book. This week, I gave copies to Israel's number one recording artists, Subliminal and the Shadow. Let's see if a rap song emerges to sway our cheated youth.
 
My books are:
