Children Of Death
By Uri Avnery
6-15-3


A week after the ship of peace was solemnly launched on its perilous voyage
from Aqaba harbor, it was hit by a torpedo. It is not yet clear whether it
is wrecked or can continue on its way in spite of the damage.

The story of its voyage so far: An Israeli helicopter gunship tried to kill
Abd-al-Aziz al-Rantisi, one of the leaders of the political wing of Hamas.
He miraculously survived. Immediately afterwards the gunships killed other
Hamas leaders. Clearly, this was the beginning of a campaign to kill the
leaders of all the wings of Hamas - military, political, social, educational
and religious.

Such a campaign is, of course, the outcome of long preparations, which take
weeks and months. It was evidently planned even before the Aqaba summit
conference convened, but postponed by Sharon in order to afford President
Bush his moments of photographic glory on the shore of the Red Sea .
Immediately after the President and his entourage went home, radiant with
success, the machinery of death went into action.

In establishing intent, all courts around the world act upon a simple
principle: a person who carries out an action with predictable results is
held to have intended that result. That is true for this campaign, too.

The killing of the Hamas leaders (together with their wives, children and
casual bystanders) is intended to attain the following results: (a) acts of
revenge by Hamas, i.e. suicide bombings, (b) the failure of the Palestinian
Authorityís efforts to secure the agreement of Hamas to a cease-fire, (c)
the destruction of Abu Mazen's political standing right from the start, (d)
the demolition of the Road Map, (e) compensation for the settlers after the
removal of some sham 'outposts.'

All five objectives have been achieved. Blood and fire cover the country,
the media on both sides are busy with funerals and mutual incitement, the
efforts to establish a hudnah (truce) have stopped, Sharon called Abu Mazen
a chicken without feathers, the Road Map is tottering, Bush has mildly
reproached Sharon while directing his wrath at Hamas.

The 'dismantling' of the phony settlement-outposts, a joke to start with,
has been stopped. Construction activity in the settlements is in full swing,
and so is the building of the ìfenceî that is establishing a new border deep
inside the West Bank . (Both Bush and Blair have demanded that it be
stopped, a boost to the campaign we started months ago). The closures and
blockades have been tightened. The situation in the occupied Palestinian
territories is back to what it was before, as if the entire performance in
Aqaba had never taken place.

The decision to kill Rantisi was, therefore, a decisive point in the history
of Israel . And the first question must be: Who was it that took this
decision?

It is easy to say who did not take it.

Not the government, which has become a choir of flatterers and yes-men.
Sharon treats them with contempt. He would not dream of consulting them.

Not the Knesset, which has reached an unprecedented low. It now openly
includes representatives of the underworld, a murderer who has asked for
(and received) a pardon, and some small politicians who look as if they had
been picked at random from the street. The Speaker is known as an
entertaining character.

And not the public at large, of course. All public opinion polls show that
the public wanted the Road Map to succeed. All believed that Sharon was
serious about seeking peace. On the left, too, there were many simpletons
who lauded Sharon for changing his spots. Nobody asked the public if it
wants to start a new round of violence. Indeed, the latest poll indicates
that 67% of the public did not support the attempt on Rantisiís life after
it happened. But Sharon knew that the public would accept his decisions and
follow him like the sheep on his ranch.

If so, who took the decision?

That is no secret. The decision was taken by five generals:

- The Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon , a retired two-star general.

- The Minister of Defense, Shaíul Mofaz, a retired three-star general.

- The Chief-of-Staff, Moshe Yaíalon, a serving three-star general.

- The Mossad chief, Meíir Dagan, a former one-star general.

- The Security Service chief, Avi Dichter, with a rank equivalent to a three-
star general.

This military quintet is now making decisions about the fate of Israel ,
perhaps for generations, perhaps forever. In Latin America they would be
called a junta (military committee).

We have spoken more than once about the special status of generals - in and
out of uniform - in our state. It has no equivalent in the Western world. In
no democratic country does a general now serve as prime minister. In no
democratic country does a professional soldier serve as minister of defense,
certainly not one who was wearing a general's uniform right on the eve of
his ministerial appointment. In no democratic country does the Chief-of-
Staff attend all cabinet meetings, where he serves as the highest authority
in all 'security' matters - which, in Israel , include practically all
matters of national policy.

The rule of the generals is based on an extensive infrastructure. An Israeli
general leaves the army, as a rule, in his early 40s. If he does not join
the top leadership of a political party (Likud, Labor and the National
Religious Party are at present led by generals, and Meretz is practically
led by a colonel), or manage to get elected as a mayor, his comrades help
him to settle down as the director of a large government corporation,
university or public utility.

The hundreds of ex-generals who man most of the key posts in government and
society are not only a group of veterans sharing common memories. The
partnership goes much deeper. Dozens of years of service in the regular army
form a certain outlook on life, a political world-view, ways of thinking and
even language. In all the years of Israel , there have been no more than
three or four exceptions to this rule.

On the face of it, there are right-wing and left-wing generals, but that is
an optical illusion. This week it was particularly obvious: after the
assassination attempt on Rantisi and the Hamas revenge-attack, dozens of
generals appeared in the media. (An Israeli general, however stupid he may
be, automatically becomes a sought-after commentator in the media.) For the
sake of 'balance,' generals-of-the-right and generals-of-the-left were
brought on screen, and lo and behold, they all said the same thing, more or
less, even using the same terminology.

More than in the 'commentaries' themselves, this found expression in two
Hebrew words: Ben Mavet ('son of death,' meaning a person who must be
killed).

As if by order, this week these two detestable words entered the public
discourse. There was hardly a general, politician or correspondent who did
not roll them on his tongue with obvious relish. They had never been heard
before in the media. Now, suddenly, everybody has started to use them.
Rantisi was a 'son of death.' Sheikh Yassin was a 'son of death.' The other
Hamas leaders were 'children of death.î Perhaps even Yasser Arafat himself.

      The expression appears in the Bible, II Samuel, XII. King David has committed
      a heinous crime, deliberately arranging for his most loyal officer, Uriah the
      Hittite, to be killed in battle, so he can have his wife, Bath-sheba, for
      himself. The prophet Nathan denounces him for this deed, telling him the story
      of the rich man who slaughtered the only sheep of a poor man. David gets very
      angry and tells the prophet: "As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this
      thing is a son of death!" To which Nathan replies: "Thou art the man!"

      Ironically, the Bible applied the term to the greatest leader of the people of
      Israel , who has committed an abominable crime. Now it is used by the leaders
      of the state of Israel against Palestinians.

      But this is not the most important point. It is more significant that the
      Prime Minister and his small group of generals introduce these two words, and
      all the people repeat them like a giant flock of parrots, without thinking,
      without protesting. This is rather frightening in itself, but when these words
      reflect a disastrous national decision and the public accepts it without
      question, that is even more frightening.

      It is not yet clear whether Sharon has succeeded in scuttling the boat of the
      peace initiative. Perhaps President Bush will after all show some resolution
      and save the initiative, in which he has invested his personal prestige. But
      in the meantime the dance of death continues, and the blood flows - quite
      literally - in the streets of Israel and Palestine .
