* Sharon's declaration of support for a Palestinian state.
* Acceptance of United Nations supervision, along with that of other superpowers, in the context of the Road Map, which means the loss of sovereignty.
* Sharon's declaration regarding the uprooting of all of the communities of the Gaza region, and the proposal to the Council of Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha) that it agree to the immediate destruction of the Jewish towns of Netzarim, Morag, and Kfar Darom in Gaza.
* Sharon's proposal to the Yesha Council to voluntarily uproot a series of communities, including Ganim and Kadim, Homesh and Sa-Nur in Samaria.
* The refusal of Ariel Sharon to maintain the Trans-Samaria Highway east of the city of Ariel -- a sign of his intention to abandon the stretch of land between the Samarian communities of Eli and Shilo.
* A unilateral withdrawal plan, which encourages the unilateral establishment of a Palestinian state by Fatah and the rest of the terrorist groups after the withdrawal. Automatically, that leads to the cancellation of the conditions included in the Road Map and in the speeches of U.S. President George Bush; specifically, the dismantling of terrorist groups, democratization and financial accountability.
In the state of disarray that will follow Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, the ruler will be Hezbollah, and behind it, Iran and Syria.
The naive innocents who misled themselves and calculated that the conditions laid down by President Bush would never be fulfilled -- and therefore, there was nothing to worry about -- have had their illusions proven false. Have they learned their lesson, yet -- that for every conditional concession by Israel, the condition falls and the concession remains?
* In the state of disarray that will follow Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, the ruler will be Hezbollah, and behind it, Iran and Syria. The Hizbullah has already taken control of the terror gangs in the Jenin-Tul Karem-Shechem triangle. The "small" terrorist release -- more than 400 -- for the benefit of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and the large release -- thousands! -- already committed to by Sharon, will promise Nasrallah the status of chief leader and general of the Palestinian war.
* Sharon is prepared to release thousands of terrorists with blood on their hands in exchange for a piece of material from the body of Ron Arad, the Israeli pilot captured in 1986 by the terror group Amal in Lebanon. This is in spite of the Arad family's oposition to the release of living terrorists. Ron Arad is merely an excuse to acquiesce in the Arab demand for the release of all the security prisoners, as provided in the Geneva Initiative. Despite the fact that this was a private "treaty" by the Israeli far left, designed to pressure Israel into making one-sided concessions, Sharon is implementing it incrementally.
* The abandonment of northern Samaria has begun. The military base that separated the Arab city of Jenin from the Jewish villages of Ganim and Kadim has been evacuated.
* The uprooting of 28 outposts is in the offing. Sharon asked the High Court of Justice for an emergency session to allow him to carry out the expulsions and display "achievements" during his trip to Washington.
* And the 28 are merely a down payment on the uprooting of another hundred or so "outposts," most of which are already full-fledged communities.
* There is a complete severing of relations with the settlers. They are being pushed outside the consensus through economic sanctions: half of the Magen David Adom (the Israeli Red Cross) budget has been cut. There is again sniping every night on the roads and ambulances will not be available.
* The "Mivtzar" project, which involved settlers providing security for their communities, has been cancelled.
The Dov Weisglass document (Weisglass is one of Sharon's chief advisers) of June 2003, which includes a commitment by Sharon to Condoleeza Rice to implement the Road Map, is being carried out despite the fact that the Arabs have done nothing to fulfill their obligations. Any construction outside the perimeter of existing homes in the Jewish communities of Judea, Samaria and Gaza, including in Maaleh Adumim, the city of 28,000 less than two miles from Jerusalem, has been forbidden. There is no budget for development. State lands can no longer be used for Jewish settlement.
* The separation fence is moving towards the Green Line. The security fence is becoming a political fence.
* Restraint in the face of terrorism has returned. There have been no military reactions in the wake of the murders at Erez Crossing in the Gaza Strip, nor for the slaughter on bus no. 19 in Jerusalem.
* The closures and checkpoints have been removed, and have not returned.
* Sharon allows Hamas "spiritual leader" Sheikh
