The late Prime Minister Ariel Sharon denied that Israel was planning “Disengagement II,” this one from Judea and Samaria, but it turns out that he and former Justice Minister Tzipi Livni appointed a secret team that was charged to look into the feasibility of the idea.
Rabbi Yossie Shemtov, executive director of Chabad Lubavitch of Tucson, stated: “We are determined not to be affected by this distressing incident and will continue serving the wider community.”
Although the current conflict was forced on Israel and it would have been better had it not erupted, the Jewish state has the opportunity to make lemonade out of the lemons.
