Abu Hanoud, a fugitive from justice for several years, is charged with masterminding Hamas suicide bombings at the crowded Mahane Yehuda market and popular Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall in Jerusalem in the summer of 1997, which killed 21 and wounded dozens more, as well as other terrorist attacks. Israeli security learned that he had returned to his home village of Atzira Shamali near Shechem recently, and tracked him down at the home of fellow Hamas member Nidal Daglas. About 100 elite Israeli troops surrounded the house at about 10:00 p.m. Saturday evening, but Abu Hanoud and Daglas detected their movements and struck first, throwing a grenade and firing at the Israeli units. In the ensuing confusion, Israeli soldiers apparently mistook their own forces assigned to a nearby rooftop as terrorists and opened fire on them, killing three IDF troops. Although he took two bullets in the shoulder and back, Abu Hanoud managed to slip away in the darkness, wounded and bleeding. Evading helicopters with search lights and ground units, he made it through heavy brush to a Palestinian checkpoint near Shechem, where he surrendered to the PLO before dawn Sunday. Abu Hanoud later was treated at a Shechem hospital under heavy guard. Daglas was wounded and captured by the IDF, and his home was swiftly leveled, after the army reportedly found four tons of chemicals used in the manufacture of bombs there. Israeli security forces also arrested four men from the same village, a hotbed of Hamas activists and still under Israeli security control. Meanwhile a fourth Duvdevan soldier was moderately wounded by other IDF soldiers while in hot pursuit of Abu Hanoud. IDF Chief of Staff Lt-Gen Shaul Mofaz on Thursday canceled a planned afternoon press conference during which he was to announce the findings of the inquiry. Mofaz presented the report to Prime Minister/Defense Minister Ehud Barak, as well as to the parents of the soldiers who were killed. Mofaz called upon OC Central Command and the investigators to respond to several points that he felt needed additional investigation and clarification, thereby deciding to delay his press conference until the inquiry was complete. Mofaz did state with certainty at this point that the three combatants of the elite Duvdevan unit were killed by mistaken fire, and a fourth soldier was seriously wounded. TERRORIST 'SENTENCED' BY PLO, HAILED AS A HERO: Abu Hanoud was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on Friday after a PLO court in Gaza found him guilty of "forming military cells and arming them". During the trial the judge told Abu Hanoud the court did not want to try him for acts "against the other side". The PLO has a "revolving door" policy for most of the terrorists it has sentenced, later releasing them usually to serve in the PLO security forces. Although Barak has stated that he will 'eventually' ask for Abu Hanoud to be turned over to Israeli authorities, the PLO has said it has no intentions of doing so. Hamas strongly criticized the sentencing and said it did not recognize the court's authority. Hamas official Ismail Abu Shanab told AFP that Arafat had made a "serious mistake" and that Abu Hanoud is a "national hero and symbol for all Palestinians," adding that it was "his judges who should be sentenced." The spokesman for Hamas abroad, Ibrahim Ghosheh, also condemned the court's verdict in a telephone call to AFP in Amman. Meanwhile, Abu Hanoud is being hailed as a 'holy warrior' by other Arabs as well. The story, as reported by Hamas and several Arab newspapers, states that Abu Hanoud and Daglas managed to defeat the IDF unit, "a battle pitting several hundred Israeli soldiers against two 'freedom fighters'." On Friday, about 2,000 of his supporters staged a march after afternoon prayers in his village, waving banners saying "No peace with these Israeli actions" and "Mahmoud Abu Hanoud is a hero." OTHER TERRORIST ACTS THWARTED: Police Sunday night defused a pipe-bomb hidden inside a backpack and left on the side of a road in Jerusalem's busy Patt intersection, a police spokesman said. Police sappers blew up the bag and in examining the remains determined it had contained a pipe-bomb weighing about 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds). Meanwhile, Tuesday three Israeli Antiquities Authority workers were hospitalized in moderate condition, after a bomb exploded at an IDF training ground near Rosh Ha'Ayin. The police suspect that the bomb was placed there by Palestinian terrorists. Four other bombs have been placed in the same area by an as-yet unapprehended terrorist cell in past years. AN IRAQI SCUD ALERT? Jerusalem government sources are having trouble understanding why exactly United States forces in Germany have suddenly gone on anti-Scud alert. Prime Minister Barak said that Israel is keeping an eye on the situation in Iraq, and that as far as is known, there is no need to send Patriot missiles to Israel. THE WASHINGTON POST reported Friday, in the name of Pentagon sources, that Iraq is liable to attack a nation "friendly with the U.S." one month from now. The action took Israel by surprise because it was leaked to the POST before US officials had advised the Israelis, who have been holding defence talks with the Americans, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The question is: Is this another "wag-the-dog" caper? To be sure, we may well be seeing the groundwork being laid for an 'October surprise' -- some new hair-brained military operation calculated principally for domestic consumption in order to demonstrate what superb stewards of the national security Bill Clinton and Al Gore have been and why the latter's contract should be renewed. Or maybe it is just a cynical play for Jewish votes in case Joe Lieberman cannot offset the hostility engendered by concerns about Hillary's pro-Palestinian and anti-semitic proclivities. It was on the eve of the US Congress impeachment vote in 1998 when Clinton ordered airstrikes against Iraq. US TO RECEIVE EXPORT CONTROLS ON ISRAELI WEAPONS: Washington is expected to announce an upgrade of relations with Israel to a strategic ally of the United States on 6 September when Barak is scheduled to meet with Clinton at the United Nations Millennium Peace Summit in New York. But the strategic upgrade enabling Israel to retain its deterrent capability and defend itself is contingent on an agreement between the two countries limiting Israeli arms exports controls and technology transfers. The agreement stipulates that Israel must consult with the US before concluding any defense deals with either China, India, Russia or Pakistan. Washington is also demanding that Israel participate in a joint technology committee with the US, intended to investigate complaints that Israel illegally transferred US-manufactured military components to third countries. In exchange, the US is expected to include a special aid package for the IDF, as well as US funding for a multi-million dollar project to develop drones capable of attacking missile launchers and ground-to-ground missiles. The extent of the aid package or project funding has not yet been specified. An Israeli delegation, headed by Defense Ministry Director General Amos Yaron has been in Washington hammering out the final details of the agreement. The pressure from the US has caused major cuts in the Israeli defense industry. It has cost several major contracts. Defense company chiefs have warned of a serious threat to the industry if Israel continues to lose contracts. Israel Aircraft Industries has incurred a loss of $4 billion worth of contracts comprising 70 percent of the government-owned company's defense deals over the past year. Association official Ya'acov Toren said that Israel's strategic capability would be affected because the closure of the defense plants would make Israel dependent on importing military platforms, equipment and supplies. The association has urged the government to maintain its level of domestic contracts and only purchase from the United States equipment that isn't manufactured in Israel. Washington provides Israel with annual military aid of $1.8 billion dollars but the bulk of the grant is linked to the purchase of US equipment. MEETINGS IN NEW YORK THIS WEEK: Barak is to leave for the UN's Millennium Summit in New York Sunday night for a week of talks that could determine both the fate of the peace process and his government. Barak is slated to address the Millennium Summit, a gathering of 159 of the world's leaders, on Wednesday. But the real focus of his attention will be on numerous meetings taking place on the sidelines. He is scheduled to meet with Clinton later that afternoon. Arafat, who will also be attending the summit, is also scheduled to meet with Clinton on Wednesday. There are so far no plans for a tripartite meeting. Both Israeli and Palestinian officials are playing down any chance of a breakthrough next week. US Special envoy Dennis Ross, who met Friday with both Barak and Arafat, also sounded doubtful. WHO'S SOVEREIGNTY, WHO'S AUTHORITY? Several "creative" proposals were given this past week regarding the Temple Mount. One proposal gave 'authority' to the Waqf (Moslem authority currently on the Temple Mount) and 'sovereignty' to G-d (it was not clearly stipulated which god -- the true G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or the pagan moslem god 'Allah'). The purported American proposal involves the division into four different zones and jurisdictions: 1) the mosques, 2) the plaza, 3) the external wall, and 4) the cavities beneath the Mount. Others were also bantered about. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Yossi Beilin and Acting Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami have volunteered to kick off the government's campaign paving the way for the transfer of control of the Temple Mount to Moslem hands. Speaking on Army Radio Tuesday, Beilin said that the Mount has not been under Israeli control since it was captured in 1967, and "all that remains is to legally formalize the situation." Ben-Ami, at a press conference in Paris Monday, said, "The dispute is only about symbols. After all, ever since the days of Dayan [Defense Minister during the 1967 Six-Day War], the Palestinians have had functional autonomy on the Temple Mount. No matter what, there will be no major changes there." This MUST be a major area of prayer focus for both Jews and Christians. This is where the Third Temple of the G-d of Israel will be built and it is here the Mashiach will come and reign. G-d told Solomon, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually" (1 Kings 9.3). Ezekiel saw the Glory of G-d returning to the Temple Mount and G-d told him, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever" (Ezekiel 43.7). G-d has not forsaken His people, for He says, "Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me" (Isaiah 49.16, see also Jeremiah 31.35-37) MAJORITY OF MKS SIGN ON BARAK-BLOCKING BILL: Sixty-two Knesset members are sponsoring a new bill aimed at preventing Prime Minister Ehud Barak from signing diplomatic agreements as long as he does not have a Knesset majority. The bill was initiated by National Union MK Rabbi Benny Elon. Should the bill pass - as it is expected to - a minority government would be unable to legally sign deals that entail the transfer of sovereignty to a foreign entity or the alteration of the country's borders. PM MOVING AHEAD WITH NEW SECULAR REFORMS: Apparently moving ahead with his planned secular reform policies, Prime Minister Ehud Barak on Tuesday met with members of the "Awakening" organization, seeking one draft for all Israeli citizens, including Israeli Arabs and ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students. Part of the new secular reforms is the total dissolving of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The departments of the ministry would be reassigned to the Chief Rabbinate, local municipalities, Ministry of the Interior, Justice Ministry and other official agencies. The Ministry handles many operations of Jewish religious life, such as appointment of religious councils; financial assistance to yeshivas and renovation and construction of physical facilities at the yeshivas; planning and financial assistance for the construction and renovation of synagogues; maintaining public order, supervising, protecting, and guarding Jewish holy places. This might be opening the door for Barak to accomplish several items of business he has not been able to do as of yet, such as to get rid of Israeli control of the Jewish holy sites and to limit the work done at the yeshivas, if not attempt to shut them down due to lack of funding. CNN'S BIAS TOWARD ISRAEL: CNN got clobbered recently by a deluge of angry e-mail about its detaching Jerusalem from Israel in a weather page on the heavily trafficked CNN.com website. Jerusalem was restored with an asterisk whose footnote states: "The status of Jerusalem, the seat of Israeli government, is the most contentious issue in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Palestinian and Arab leaders consider part of Jerusalem the capital of a prospective Palestinian state." In no other case where a city's sovereignty is contested, such as Lhasa, Taipei or Jammu, does CNN qualify the national affiliation with a political notation. * A similar sequence of events had occurred earlier when American Muslims for Jerusalem denounced CNN for referring to Jerusalem as Israel's capital on another web page. The very same day AMJ Executive Director Khalid Turaani boasted in a follow-up e-mail about CNN's "quick response to the community" when network officials capitulated, striking out reference to Jerusalem as Israel's capital in a Millennium-related web page. AMJ exulted that their campaign had "lasted just three hours." [In contrast,] it took a month to restore the reference to Jerusalem [as Israel's capital], and, once again, the correction came with a qualifier. * When CNN aired a particularly blatant error, claiming harsh Israeli policies have led to a "dwindling" of the Arab population of Jerusalem, the network stonewalled for a year before issuing a retraction. Volumes of data and evidence provided to CNN demonstrating the dramatic growth of that population availed nothing. Only under the duress of extended public pressure, including ads in newspapers such as the New York Times exposing the absurdity of the statement, did the network broadcast a correction and an accurate report. * The same CNN penchant for espousing Arab views can be seen even now on the network's website. A feature entitled "The Struggle For Middle East Peace" includes a timeline filled with biased, if frequently moronic, statements about the history of the region. The overarching distortion is the deleting of Arab aggression against the Jews. Events in 1929, for example, when anti-Jewish rioting was fomented by Arab leaders and led to the murder of scores of Jews throughout Palestine, especially in Hebron, are glossed by CNN as entailing "a dispute at the Wailing Wall" which "ignited an Arab riot and call for Islamic Jihad. Consequently, Jews began arming themselves and both sides waged terrorist attacks." Likewise, the sole reference to the bloody record of PLO terrorism in the 1970's is a line about the killing of Israeli athletes at the1972 Munich Olympics. Unmentioned is the PLO-sponsored murder three months earlier of 27 civilians at Israel's Lod airport. The heinous Palestinian terrorist attack in 1974 on an Israeli elementary school and the slaughter of 22 children is similarly omitted, as is the 1978 PLO hijacking of a bus on the Tel Aviv-Haifa Road. That killing spree took 34 lives. * Amazingly, even the unprecedented series of bus bombings in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in the 1990's are also censored out. Yet CNN gives separate mention (with a photograph) to victims of Baruch Goldstein's killing of Muslim worshipers in Hebron in 1994. Thus is the record blurred to obscure the fearsome campaigns of terrorism by Palestinians against Jews, while singling out the lone act on a similar scale of Jewish violence against innocent Arabs. * The same deferential distortions are accorded Yasser Arafat in a biographical article in the "Struggle for Peace" section. As though echoing the career of Dr. Martin Luther King, CNN describes Arafat repeatedly as pursuing the "dream" a Palestinian state. "That dream," writes CNN, "sustained him during his years as a guerilla fighter with a pistol on his hip, and it has guided him through his leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization." Here too only sanitized mention is made of Arafat's bloodstained past -- his organization, Al Fatah, is said to have launched "guerilla raids and terrorist attacks into Israel." CNN labors especially hard to find oblique phrasing for Arafat's role in the1972 Munich massacre, writing that Arafat "came to be regarded as a villain for his suspected involvement in the murder of Israeli athletes by Black September Arab terrorists..." No doubt if CNN.com carried an honest and accurate biography of Arafat and a truthful timeline chronicling the record of Arab aggression and violence, there would be a new deluge of Arab complaint. Probably CNN reporters fear being denied access to Palestinian officials, and perhaps the network seeks to open new bureaus in the Arab world and so prefers to avoid offending future customers. Whatever the cause, the propensity at CNN for advocating Arab views over journalistic objectivity and factual accuracy, and only reluctantly and belatedly making adjustments when challenged on the facts, is professionally derelict -- and disgraceful. CHICAGO TRIBUNE OP-ED BY JAMES RON CONTAINS SERIOUS ERRORS: The following comes from Lee Green Director, National Letter-Writing Group CAMERA. The August 4, 2000 edition of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE carried an opinion piece [see the CAMERA website: http://www.camera.org] by James Ron which contained gross inaccuracies and baseless accusations against Israel. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is of course welcome to publish many perspectives on controversial topics, but Ron has bolstered his case with falsehoods and it is the editor's responsibility to root out such errors. Whether we agree or disagree with Ron's conclusion, it is still our duty to protest published inaccuracies. Lack of fact checking is unacceptable in both news articles and opinion pieces. Please write short letters to the editor of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE to respond to Ron's distortions. Focus on only one or two of the following talking points. * James Ron repeats the common error that all land not belonging to Jews in mandate Palestine belonged to Palestinian Arabs. In fact, historically, under Ottoman and British rule, most of the land was government owned. According to statistics from the Survey of Palestine, which was published in 1946 by British mandate authorities, and later republished by the PLO-affiliated Institute for Palestine Studies, Jews owned 8.6 percent of the land and Arabs owned 28.6 percent. But the Arab total included Bedouin grazing land (8.4 percent) and waste land (13.4 percent), neither of which was legally ownable according to the prevailing Turkish and British land laws. Not counting Bedouin grazing land and waste land, Arab owned land totaled only 6.8 percent. But, even if one counts land in these categories as Arab owned, the majority of land in Palestine in 1948 was state land, which did not belong to Palestinian private owners. Because there was never a sovereign Palestinian Arab state, this state land cannot be said to have ever have been "Palestinian owned." Also, it should be noted that most of the Jewish-owned land was purchased from wealthy Arabs, among them the well-known Nashashibi, el-Husseini, and el-'Alami families. * James Ron falsely accuses Israel of "ethnic cleansing," forcing Palestinians to flee. Recent research by Israeli scholars such as Efraim Karsh ("Fabricating Israeli History: The 'New Historians'") have thoroughly discredited authors such as Benny Morris and Ilan Pappe who had charged Israel with mass expulsions of Palestinians during the 1948-49 Arab-Israeli war. Of course, it should be remembered that the Palestinian refugee problem was caused by this war, and that the war was initiated by the Palestinian Arabs themselves, and by the five Arab states whose armies invaded Israel the day it declared independence. It should also be remembered that the roughly 550,000 Palestinian refugees were not alone -- there were similar numbers of Jewish refugees from Arab countries. At great expense and effort, the newly born state of Israel settled these Jewish refugees. Unfortunately, the Arab states, many of them flush with oil wealth, made no such effort, often acting to keep the Palestinian refugees in continuing poverty, all the better to use them as a weapon against Israel. According to historians such as Efraim Karsh, Arabs expelled Jews from areas in mandate Palestine (the Old City of Jerusalem, the Etzion Bloc, Atarot, Kfar Darom or Beit Ha'arava) in roughly equivalent numbers that Jews expelled Arabs. By and large, though, Arabs fled for various reasons, often at the behest of their own leaders. For example, in the July-August 2000 edition of COMMENTARY magazine, Karsh details the Arab flight from Haifa, which began before fighting broke out with the exodus of the Arab social elite. Although Haifa mayor Shabtai Levy and other Jewish authorities went to great lengths to convince their Arab neighbors to remain, the Arab Higher Committee (AHC) in Beirut ordered an evacuation. Arab propaganda also played a part. Hazem Nusseibeh, an editor of the PALESTINE BROADCASTING SERVICE's Arabic news in 1948, admits that he and Hussein Khalidi, the secretary of the Arab Higher Committee (the representative body of the Arabs of British Palestine), fabricated atrocities in reporting about the battle at Deir Yassin "so the Arab armies will come to liberate Palestine from the Jews." Nusseibeh said in a BBC television series (Israel and the Arabs: the 50 Year Conflict) that, "This was our biggest mistake. We did not realize how our people would react. As soon as they heard that women had been raped [a fabrication] at Deir Yassin, Palestinians fled in terror." * Although Ron discusses Palestinian wartime losses, he ignores that fact that Palestinians are entitled to receive -- and have received -- compensation for their losses. 1993 figures from the Israel Land Administration show that by that time, 14,692 people claimed compensation under the Absentee Property Law and the Validation and Compensation Law. Claims were settled with respect to 200,000 dunums of land. More than 10,000,000 NIS had been paid as compensation, and more than 54,000 dunums of replacement land had been given in compensation. The basis for compensation is the property's value in 1947, corrected for inflation, plus added yearly interest, to be paid in installments. Israel has followed this generous policy despite the fact that not a single penny of compensation has ever been paid to any of the more than 500,000 Jewish refugees from Arab countries, who were forced by the Arab governments to abandon their homes, businesses and savings. * Ron wrongly asserts that as of 1948, Israel controlled 78 percent of "historic Palestine." In fact, nearly 80 percent of historic Palestine was severed by the British in 1922 and allocated to what became Transjordan. Jewish settlement there was prohibited. The UN then divided the remaining 20 percent of Palestine in what was to be two states -- one Jewish, one Arab. When Jordan annexed YESHA in 1950, and with Gaza occupied by Egypt, the Arab hold on historic Palestine totaled 80 percent. The Jews held only 17.5 percent.
