Rightists to give Bush warm 'welcome' in Jerusalem



By Stan Goodenough

Organizations representing Israelis opposed to America's land-for-peace efforts plan to greet US President George W. Bush with a large demonstration when he visits Israel next month.

The protest is scheduled to take place in Har Homa - a southern-Jerusalem neighborhood which Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently condemned Israel for developing.

Due here for three days from January 9, Bush is coming to give a personal push to the process that plans to take historic Jewish lands out from under Israeli control and give them to Arabs for the creation of a Palestinian state.

The American's determination tom establish "Palestine' - which would be the 23rd Arab state - persists despite the proof that this state would pose an existential threat to what would be left of Israel.

Israel is already gearing up for the presidential visit, with the Prime Minister's Office having appointed a special task force to help prepare the way.

Enormous numbers of Israelis reject Bush's "two-state-vision," knowing from painful experience that the land-for-peace process brings anything but peace.

At least ten thousand turned out in Jerusalem's streets in protest two days in a row during the Annapolis Middle East conference last month.
