	1583 Azmi Bishara: Q & A on Disengagement Plan
		Sharon's disengagement plan is part of a comprehensive political plan aimed at continuing the status quo of occupation under conditions more favorable to Israel.
		The dismantling of Gaza settlements and what is called the unilateral disengagement plan is one step in a larger project aimed at the wholesale freezing of the peace process and putting it on the back burner until Israel finishes imposing its unilateral plan on the ground.
		Sharon's disengagement plan is not part of the peace process, but rather is part of a long process of establishing a security framework that aims to make occupation of parts of the west bank more sustainable.

	Israel's Disengagement Plan - The Israel Project
		Israel gained control of Gaza and parts of the West Bank and other land during a 1967 defensive war after the armies of Syria, Egypt, Jordan and other Arab countries amassed on Israel’s borders.
		Israel's withdrawal would be perceived as surrendering to - or worse, rewarding - terrorists, who would then step up their attacks against innocent people.
		Israel's withdrawal would harm Israel's security, increased the threat of rocket attacks from Gaza on major Israeli population centers such as Ashkelon.

		Israel is a State Party to the ICCPR as well as numerous other human rights treaties, including inter alia the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
		Israel is prohibited under international humanitarian law (Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 49 (6)) from transferring members of its own population into the Occupied Territories, and by customary international law (1907 Hague Regulations, Article 55) from making permanent changes to the West Bank that do not benefit the local inhabitants.
		Israel's legitimate concerns for the security of its citizens must be addressed in a manner that is proportionate to the threat and that does not amount to indiscriminate and collective punishment of entire communities.

	Foundation for Middle East Peace :: Israel's Policy of "Creating Facts" Wins over the Bush Administration
		Israel's decision to proceed unilaterally returns diplomacy to a pre-Madrid era and represents a diplomatic coup against the Bush administration, which has been weakened by the unfolding debacle in Iraq and faces a difficult election in November.
		The plan's central strategic objective is to remove Gaza's 1.3 million Palestinians from the sphere of Israel's internationally recognized responsibility by formally ending the military occupation of Gaza that commenced in June 1967, while continuing to exercise control over the entry and exit of people and goods.
		Israel's territorial objective for the remainder of the West Bank, in contrast, is defined as "transportation contiguity," that is, connecting separate Palestinian enclaves by bridges, tunnels, and crossing points, all of which will continue to be controlled by Israeli forces.

	Green Left - Features: Palestine eyewitness: Attack on Gaza
		However, a number of commentators in Israel have argued that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, under pressure from the extreme right because of his Gaza “disengagement” plan, is exploiting the death of the children to pursue his own agenda.
		Under it, “disengagement” was not to be immediate or unilateral, instead it was to take “one or two years” to complete and would merely involve shifting the path of the Apartheid Wall east to a new security line within the Occupied Territories.
		Within days of the announcement of the plan, however, the number of settlements to be moved dwindled from 17 to include only the “most isolated” colonies, with the evacuation of the Katif block, the biggest colony in the Gaza being postponed indefinitely.

	Democracy and Jewish Identity After the Disengagement
		The disengagement plan sprung from the realization that the two elemental concepts touted by the Israeli right and left wing for the past few decades no longer hold water.
		His 180 degree turnaround, coupled with his strong opposition to allowing a plebiscite or referendum to decide the issue, and the widespread belief that his Knesset and government majorities were achieved with the help of pressure and manipulation, have badly shaken many citizens faith in the state and its institutions.
		Religious Zionist opposition to the disengagement has centered on flaws in the democratic process without providing a serious assessment of the implications of continued occupation for the Jewishness of the Israeli state.

	Atalia Ben-Meir: Re-Evaluating Oslo in Light of the Roadmap
		The “disengagement” from the Palestinians would include the redeployment of IDF forces along new security lines and a change in the deployment of settlements, in order to reduce as much as possible the number of Israelis located in the heart of the Palestinian population.
		Indeed, the Disengagement plan requires that Israel, in conjunction with the US, the UK, Jordan and Egypt, provide military training to Palestinian armed forces, regardless of the fact that the ostensible justification of the withdrawal was that the Palestinians were not a peace partner.
		Israel has been successful in and thwarting terrorist activities to the extent that terrorism is at its lowest level in four years.

	Israpundit: ISRAEL'S UNILATERAL WITHDRAWAL FROM GAZA
		This is how the office of the Prime minister described the political and security implications of his government’s decision: “The State of Israel is committed to the peace process and aspires to reach an agreed resolution of the conflict based upon the vision of US President George Bush.
		They charge moreover, that the October 2004 Knesset vote on disengagement in which the government won 67 to 45 (in favor of disengagement) was due to the Arab votes.
		In conclusion, Eran Sternberg, Gush Katif spokesperson, had this to say: “in the last election the people of Israel made their decision (oppose the disengagement) and it is the ballot box not the shifting polls that reflect the public will.

	MAKE YOUR POINT
		But the disengagement plan, which calls for the evacuation of all 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four in the northern West Bank, still faces some major obstacles beyond securing government approval.
		Israel will implement the plan, but it is a pullback, a retreat, whatever you want to call it.
		It should also be made clear to any faction that violence in the process of disengagement would be not tolerated and if Hamas, Islamic Jihad or any other extremist group fires a single bullet during disengagement Israel would respond swiftly and precisely to remove those responsible for the attack.

	Israels unilateral disengagement plan - (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, also known as "Gaza Pull-Out plan," and "Gaza Expulsion plan" was a proposal by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, adopted by the government and enacted in August 2005, to remove all permanent Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip and from 4 settlements in the Northern West Bank.
		Under the disengagement plan adopted on June 6, 2004, the IOF will remain on the Gaza-Egypt border and may engage in further house demolitions to widen a 'buffer zone' there.
		The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process and when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem.

	The International Community Must Act to End the Prolonged Israeli Military Occupation
		This serves to conceal the persistent obstruction by Israel of a just and durable solution to the conflict, most notably by the continued building of the Annexation Wall, construction and expansion of settlements, and sustained efforts to formalise the de facto annexation of East Jerusalem.
		In pursuit of a policy to change the demographic balance in Jerusalem in favour of the Jewish population, Israeli authorities are striving to extend the city boundaries eastwards to incorporate Maale Adumim, one of the largest Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).
		Most notably, Israel, as the Occupying Power, has illegally confiscated an estimated two-thirds of the land in the OPT which has been principally affected to settlements and their supporting infrastructure, serving to confine Palestinians into separate and isolated population centres.

		Early this year, Bush expressed his support for Israel’s views on core issues in the final status negotiations: He recognized Israel’s settlements in the West Bank and denied Palestinian refugees the right of return, saying they must settle in a Palestinian state, not Israel.
		He claimed then that plan was motivated by the absence of a Palestinian partner for peace.
		“The disengagement plan is actually formaldehyde,” he said in an exclusive interview with the respected Israeli daily Haaretz.

	A Jewish Perspective: Israeli Demographics and a New Plan For Peace
		With the recent upheaval in the Israeli Political scene due to Ariel Sharon's unfortunate health it is a good time to examine his future plans for Israel.
		Getting back on point, because of the demographics, the best move for the ensured existence and prosperity in Israel is to disengage with the Palestinians where ever possible.
		But the portion East of the old city is loaded with Arabs and (don't kill me for this) may be partially ceded as part of some sort of final negotiated settlement years down the road.

		If it is possible to avoid the implementation of the plan altogether, especially the evacuation of settlements, without losing the sympathy of the world and the Israeli public, fine.
		The final result of the “Disengagement Plan” will therefore be the annexation of 58% of the West Bank to Israel, as Sharon has wanted all along.
		That was said a few days after the Palestinians, in a commando action that elicited some silent admiration even from the army, succeeded in destroying an entire army outpost on the “Philadelphi Axis” by detonating a huge amount of explosives in a tunnel dug beneath it and storming the remains.

	Sharon departure leaves Israel's cards in air - Editorial - Opinion
		Prime Minister Sharon's sudden incapacitation did not deliver the sort of seismic shock that might have been the case had he been a younger man. He is, after all, 77 years old, grossly overweight and his health has been deteriorating.
		Given Palestinian suspicions of Mr Sharon's motives, including concerns about his plans for Jerusalem, and with the militant Islamic Hamas organisation looming large on the political horizon, the January 25 election could well serve up a hardline Palestinian Authority.
		His legacy might well be a more secure Israel, if only in the interim, but it will be up to others to deliver peace.
