IDF establishes 'Israeli-only' entry points that bar Palestinians
A military order that took effect last week bars Palestinians with permits to enter Israel from entering via the roads that Israelis use to enter the country from the West Bank.
The order also forbids Israelis to transport Palestinians with valid entry permits via these roads. Instead, Palestinians must enter via one of the 11 crossing points earmarked for them. Until now, Israelis could ferry Palestinians with valid permits into Israel without going through one of these special crossings.
The Defense Ministry's Seam Line Administration has posted signs at all other access roads from the West Bank into Israel warning that non-Israelis may not use these crossings. However, the signs explicitly define "Israelis" not only as citizens or residents of the state, but also as tourists or anyone entitled to immigrate to Israel under the Law of Return.
"The IDF was forced to change its deployment because of the exploitation of the crossings by terrorist elements to carry out terrorist acts inside Israel," the Israel Defense Forces Spokesman said. The spokesman also stressed that transporting Palestinians via an "Israeli-only" crossing is against the law, and will be punished accordingly.
The order was signed by Major General Yair Naveh, the commander of the IDF forces in the West Bank, on December 15. It authorized the Civil Administration to determine which crossings could be used by non-Israelis, and also to determine "the arrangements that will apply at these crossing points." In addition, it defined who is an Israeli, using
the same language that is now posted on the signs at the various crossings.
On January 3, Brigadier General Kamil Abu Rokun, the head of the Civil Administration, signed the list of 11 crossings that Palestinians would be allowed to use, and stated that the order would take effect a month from that date. Eight of these 11 crossings are not on the Green Line, but either within the West Bank or inside territory annexed to Jerusalem in 1967. The order does contain one exception: Palestinians employed by
international organizations - a few hundred people - will be able to enter Israel via two routes that are otherwise reserved for Israelis. One of them is the Tunnel Road, which connects the Gush Etzion settlements to Jerusalem from the south, and the other is via the Hizma Checkpoint, which is used by the settlements north and east of Jerusalem.
Haaretz has learned that international organizations based in East Jerusalem had protested to the Civil Administration that their Palestinian workers, who travel with their foreign colleagues into Israel, would have to pass through separate border crossings. Following the protest, Palestinian laborers have been permitted to enter Jerusalem via the Tunnel Road and Hizma Checkpoint (east of Pisgat Zeev), which are
reserved for Israelis only.
A Civil Administration spokesman said the border crossing issue "is being examined and a final decision has not been made yet. Meanwhile the laborers are permitted to use those two crossings, to enable them to continue working regularly."

at last
Yesterday, something extraordinary happened in Israel. The Israeli authorities refused to let three vicious anti-Semites enter Israel. This, of course, is unusual and entirely out of character for Israel, which ordinarily welcomes foreign anti-Semites and then sends them to the West Bank where they can vandalize Israel's security fence and violently attack soldiers and police.
So what made Israel behave with sudden uncharacteristic survivalist dignity yesterday? Well, first of all, the three were so obviously anti-Semites that Israel's far-Left daily Haaretz referred to them as "peace activists".
The so-called "peace activists" were actuallyleftist radicals from the fanatically anti-Israel "European Jews for a Just Peace". The "just peace" they have in mind is one during which all the Israeli Jews will be shipped out in cattle cars to nice work camps. EJJP claims to represent 18 different leftist anti-Jewish groups of European Jews, but we suspect all 18 groups have the same 8 members, since there are only 8 people listed as members and several of those have clearly non-Jewish names.
The terror leader of this group is one Dror Feiler. You might remember Feiler as the Swedish ex-Israeli "sculptor" who created a "work of art" celebrating the mass murderer suicide bomber woman who killed 23 people in a Haifa restaurant, including members of three generations of a single family. One child lost his parents and was left alive, blinded.
The bomber beloved by Feiler intentionally stood next to a baby carriage when she set the bomb off to make sure the baby was blown to bits. The bomber was a West Bank lawyer, not a starving refugee. Feiler's "art show" compared her to Snow White in her purity. When the Israeli Ambassador to Sweden saw the atrocity that Feiler had created to celebrate the mass murderer, he vandalized it. Israel's Lefties then had a conniption at this "destruction of art". Feiler became the overnight hero for the Stormfront organization of Nazis and Holocaust Deniers.
Dror Feiler is a classic red diaper baby who was raised by his mother, Pnina Feiler, a communist. He lives in Sweden. When he is not busy celebrating genocide and mass murder of Jews, Feiler serves as "chairman" of the "European Jews for a Just Peace". Yesterday three of the group's members were busted when they arrived at Tel Aviv airport. They were supposed to hook up with Palestinian terrorists and Israeli leftist thugs and help attack Israeli police protecting Israel's security fence near the village of Bil'in.
After being busyed, Feiler gave a press briefing in which he said, "There is no other country on earth that behaves like this!" He is of course correct. In any other country, overseas trouble-makers coming in to assist genocidal terrorists would be taken out back and shot, or at least shipped off to Gitmo. Feiler's campaign for genocidal terrorism was earlier discussed by us here.
We reprint some earlier observations about him:
Ah, the Israeli left! Every days brings us new wonders from it, new manifestations of anti-Semitism and treason.
'Among the Israeli or ex-Israeli leftist anti-Semites trekking the globe is one Mapplethropian ''artist'' named Dror Feiler. Feiler hates Israel with a passion and supports Jihad and Palestinian terrorism. He lives in Stockholm with his Swedish wife whence he spreads his views, including on the Internet. He also claims to be a musician who makes ''music and noise'' and my guess is Snow White and the Madness of Truth . It was displayed in Sweden in a museum, the Historiska Museet, together with a poem that included the following phrases:
'She was also a woman as white as snow, as red as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony. like a weed in her heart until she had no peace day and night Hanadi Jaradat was a 29-year-old lawyer Weeping bitterly, she added: "If our nation cannot realize its dream and the goals of the victims, and live in freedom and dignity, then let the whole world be erased "Run away, then, you poor child. and the red looked beautiful upon the white.''
'It was all part of the preparations for some sort of Swedish conference on ''genocide,'' which by all expectations will end up endorsing Arab plans to conduct genocide against Jews.
'The art was on display in Stockholm when the Israeli Ambassador decided to respond to it in a manner almost unseen by Israeli officials since the start of Oslo appeasement. He responded to it as a Jew and a Zionist; after asking nicely that it be taken down, he vandalized the obscenity. Curiously, the Ambassador is an appointee of Labor Party dove Ehud Barak, who was on Israeli TV soon afterwards cheering on the Ambassador for this rare act of Israeli self-pride and courage. Surprisingly, Barak's party and Meretz have NOT suggest that Feiler be granted
the Israel Prize.
'Feiler runs a PLO front group called Jews for Israeli Palestinian Peace (JIPF). He also serves as head of European Jews for a Just Peace, which might or might not have other members besides himself. The artist has filed a complaint with the Swedish police against the Ambassador for the vandalizing, and it set off a diplomat confrontation between Sweden and Israel. I personally think the Ambassador should say he was just engaging in theater and so his actions should be protected artistic expression.
'' 'This was not a piece of art,'' the ambassador told Sweden's SR radio news station. ''It was a monstrosity. For me it was intolerable and an insult to the families of the victims,'' he said. ''As ambassador [of] Israel I could not remain indifferent to such an obscene misrepresentation of reality.''
'Feiler describes himself as the ''eye-bleeding ultimate composer of intifadic and eruptive lung-outs.'' It turns out his parents were both communist party members in Israel and he was raised on a kibbutz. 'What is most interesting about this is how readily much of the Israeli Left has been to denounce the ambassador for defending Jewish dignity and to defend the anti-Semitic artist and his absolute right to produce such obscenity. The far leftist daily Haaretz ran an editorial, several op-eds and lots of letters to the editor denouncing the ambassador as a bully and vandal and defending the piece of ''art.'' They were joined by many others on the Israeli Left. Suddenly ''artistic'' expression is absolutely protected. Except the theater by the Ambassador is not.
'Some in the Israeli academic Left are also chiming in. Here is a letter written byProf. Amiram Goldblum, one of the founders and long-time leaders in Peace Now, circulated this week on the web:'''The Stockholm Bully'' The aggressive response of Mazel to what seems to be an idiotic artistic expression, will remain in public memory as another display of Israeli violence, deriving from 35 years of occupation. That is also the source of the governmental response, praising the bully rather than recalling him and replacing him ASAP. Israel has enough rednecks in the academy, no need to have them as diplomats.' Amiram Goldblum, Ph.D. CellProfessor of Medicinal Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem ISRAEL 91120
'Now it is interesting to place this sudden absolutism of the Left regarding artistic expression in context. This is the very same Israeli Left that insists that any poster that shows politicians the Left likes in unflattering manner, such as Yossi Beilin or Yossi Sarid wearing an Arab kafiya, should be grounds for prosecution for ''incitement.'' This is the same Left that cheered uncontrollably when Tatiana Suskin, the poor young woman who had made a poster of the Prophet Mohammed as a pig, was sentenced to a long prison term. These are leftists who want pornography suppressed because it dishonors women. This is the same Israeli Left that has campaigned to tear down and bulldoze a memorial stone marker for Baruch Goldstein, who shot up the Mosque in Hebron. And this is the Left that argues that T-shirts that read "Where there are no Arabs there is no Terrorism" should be jailed for "racism" and "incitement".
'In other words, by defending this nazi obscenity in Sweden, the Left is showing how openly anti-Semitic and anti-democratic it is.

"Atrocities and acts of [Jewish] brutality characterized this period [the
fighting with Arabs to formally create a Jewish state in 1948]: summary
executions, rape, blowing up houses along with their occupants, looting
and plundering, and leaving hundreds of villagers to their own devices
in the fields, without food or water. The most serious atrocities were
committed in the village of al-Dawayima, on the western slopes of the
Hebron Highlands ... The occupying [Israeli] forces indiscriminately
killed between 80 and 100 male villagers, blew up houses together
with their occupants, murdered women and children, and committed
rape. According to eyewitness testimony, these acts were committed
'not in the heat of battle and inflamed passions, but out of a system
of expulsion and destruction" .... These atrocities -- which fifty years
later are regarded as libel, invented by the enemies of Israel, and whose
retelling is perceived as an example of rewriting history by revisionist
historians -- were, at the time they took place, known to ministers in
the Israeli government, military commanders, and even the general
public. The government set up commissions of inquiry and the army
set up commissions of its own, but the work of these bodies came
to naught because soldiers and officers refused to testify against
their comrades in arms." [BENVENISTI, M.
