Israel's Next War Last night, PBS's Frontline broadcast a one-hour film called Israel's Next War. The film was purportedly about "religious right-wing extremists who are girding for battle to stop Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw from Gaza." In fact, the film has nothing to do with the Gaza withdrawal. Instead, it deals with two topics: the small underground of Jewish terrorists, and the establishment of outposts on hilltops in Judea and Samaria. I am certainly not one to lesson the danger of Jewish extremists. Prime Minister Rabin was murdered by one, and seven Palestinians have been murdered by Jewish terrorists over the last five years. But Israel's Next War takes on an ominous tone that exaggerates the scope of the importance of the extremists. While every murder is vile, the fact that only seven Arabs have been killed (as opposed to more than 1000 Israelis) is clear evidence that the Jewish terror network is comprised of a handful of crazies supported by perhaps a few hundred or at most a couple of thousand passive ideological sympathizers. They are a tiny minority even among "settlers." In an interview on Frontline's website, the filmmaker, Dan Setton, concedes that "in the film I'm focusing on the zealots" but the "zealots" are not representative of most "settlers." I wonder if we'll ever see a film on PBS or another major media outlet that portrays typical Jewish life in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Would it be too boring? I don't think so. The closest I've seen to that was in December 2001 on MSNBC, when Gregg Jarrett (then an MSNBC anchor, now on Fox) visited Efrat for a one-hour program. Jarrett seemed surprised at how Efrat looked, commenting that it reminded him of Palm Beach. He also informed viewers that Efrat is really a "re-settlement" since Jews had lived there prior to being expelled by the Arabs in 1948. (Actually, Jews did not live in Efrat, though they did live in the Gush Etzion region before Jordan ransacked those settlements and murdered its inhabitants in '48.) | "
