How To Oppose Disengagement Thug (And Chabad) Style

How to oppose Disengagement thug (and Chabad) style. Note the sick use of small children:

Several dozen protesters, all of them children and teenagers, dashed into the road and stopped traffic in both directions. Police dragged about 10 protesters into a van. The protesters resisted and several escaped.

A few minutes earlier, children under the age of 10 sat on the road, chanting "Jews do not evict Jews," the slogan of the pullout opponents, slowing traffic.

…Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had instructed police and security forces to take all the necessary measures to prevent road blockages and publilc disturbances by right-wing activists.

"We will not allow a fellowship of gangs to drag the country downhill," Sharon told ministers during a cabinet meeting earlier Wednesday.

… "If there is one weak, dangerous, loose link that is guilty of this whole violent struggle, it is the Yesha Council," said Sharon aide Lior Horev. "They are acting like ostriches, looking the other way and taking no responsibility for the people whom they sent to the Gaza Strip, to that bloody hotel, and that girl who kicked the soldier in the head at the beginning of the week today, and today, people who are endangering people's lives."

One of the drivers whose tires were punctured, Gilad Levy, a resident of the West Bank settlement of Kedumim and an opponent of the disengagement, voiced strong criticism of the activists' actions.

"There are not the people of Yesha. These are members of the extreme right, with whom Yesha has no connection. They want to inflame passions like those whom are occupying the hotel in Gush Katif," a reference to young activists, many of them from the West Bank, who have barricaded themselves in former hotel in a settlement area of the Gaza Strip.

"They're guys with simply nothing to do, guys who are bored."

The oil and nails were strewn at two sites on the highway, one at the Shappirim junction, the other near Kfar Chabad, a focal point of anti-disengagement activity.

By the grace of G-d
Shalom uBrocha my sick friend!
Yeah, that's so bad isn't it? Almost as bad as knowingly libeling Chabad (there is no instruction from the Rebbe that I know of to cause demage to property as means of protest so whoever are doing are obviously misguided, but I'm sure you knew that.

Ariel, my problem is with the campaign of civil-disobedience- plus in general. Personally I am against "non-violent" blockages of highways as much as I am to blockages plus nails.

I thought there was an agreement that the Sovereign of the Land was to be respected, even if that Sovereign was a secular government of a secular state of Israel--that one could not observe the laws of New York or the County of Philadelphia or of Spain but attempt to sabatoge the laws and statues of the state of Israel because dafka in Israel there should be something better than a secular goverenment. I didn't know the rules changed: observe the sovereign of the kindgdom except in Eretz Yisroel where anything less than a proper halachic governance (details to be worked out later) is only to be followed when convenient.

We now have protesting organizations proudly announcing that they have tied up the Israeli police in knots and the police, the police, should announce that unless disengagement is stopped the police can no longer protect Israeli citizens from criminals.

Azeh yoffi.
