Nothing like a suicide bomb in an
election campaign
TOI-Billboard, December 11, 2005
The Other Israel's weekly email
updates
This week December 5, a day after the Israeli
"Defence" forces restarted the practice of assassinations, there was already a
suicide bombing in Netanya. Both sides had of course to prepare
themselves in advance, but they were standing ready to embark on
another round of lethal tit for tat as soon as they would see the other side
blink. The match was between two who suffered each for their
own reasons from election worries: Minister of Defence Mofaz (just before
bolting the Likud Party where the polls gave him little chance of
winning the leadership) and Islamic Jihad which has no mass following assuring
it of parliamentary seats in the PA January elections. Funerals have
become again a daily TV feature, and the social issue was pushed back to
second place.
Yesterday, Saturday, family and friends of
refusnik Uri Natan made it to Military Prison 4 at the call of Yesh
Gvul. Uri is one of those who go through a long-drawn process of "serial
disciplinary imprisonments", i.e. without court martial, thus saving the army to
have to deal with the refuser's defence lawyer. The refuser is between two
weeks to a month in prison, to be immediately afterwards called-up again and
upon his repeated refusal he is on the spot reincarcerated (sometimes
"after the weekend"). This time Uri was handed a 35 day
term.

against targeted killings
By Yuval Yoaz, Dec. 11, 2005 According to [State Prosecutor for Special Issues]
Nitzan, as a result of the end of Israeli military control in the Gaza Strip
following the disengagement, Gaza is subject to the "law of war" under which the
killings are legally permissible, rather than the "laws of occupation" or the
"laws of belligerent occupation" that governed the area previously.
