Defense Minister Ehud Barak has proposed a unilateral withdrawal from most of Judea and Samaria, with tens of thousands of Jews outside of population centers in Judea and Samaria to leave or remain under a Palestinian Authority government.
He issued the suggestion of another one-sided move in an interview with the Yisrael HaYom newspaper. Excerpts were published Monday and the full interview will be published Tuesday, the day before Yom Kippur.
Jews in Ariel, located in Samaria (Shomron), Maaleh Adumim -- a large city between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea -- and in Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem, would remain outside the Palestinian Authority, in Barak's scenario.
In the excerpts of the interview, Barak did not state if Israel would officially annex the population centers nor did he discuss the likelihood that the Palestinian Authority would not accept the borders he proposed.
Barak also said that his plan includes an Israeli military presence in the Jordan Valley and on strategic hilltops in Samaria near such places as Ben Gurion Airport. The hills offer an extraordinary view of the airport and central Israel as well as being an easy launching pad for rockets.
Barak argued that 90 percent of the Jews in Judea and Samaria would remain outside the Palestinian Authority.
The last time Israel carried out a unilateral withdrawal was in the summer of 2005. The Sharon government expelled more than 9,000 Jews from Gaza as well as four communities in northern Samaria, with the stated promise that the absence of Jews would bring peace to southern Israel.
The day after the expulsion, Hamas terrorists begin a rocket war on southern and even south-central Israel that has continued non-stop for seven years.
As with the Gaza expulsion plan, Baraks proposal includes compensation....

God tells you to expel the Cannanites
Wow.
Yeah....another unilateral withdrawl. That’ll bring peace. Jeeze...it’s hard to believe this guy was once a soldier.
I will never understand why Netanyahu placed Barak the traitor in his government.
Ain’t no more Canaanites. We killed them off 3,000 years ago. Only the Girgashites, who fled to Africa, and the Gideonites, who tricked Joshua into a deal, remained, and they are not palis.
Because he, too, is a traitor.
Dude, watch the language before I hit the ABUSE button
Barak needs to leave Israel and turn to Ha Shem. Definitely needs Tikkun and T’schuva or just shut the hell up.

Didn’t Sharon try to give up land, too??
THAT didn’t work out so well, and YES, I believe it WAS due to that that he had the stroke.
Politics is not the place for teshuva. Let him just shut the hell up. Later he can go into exile to atone for his crimes and do teshuva. Right now shut the hell up will do nicely.
