'Citizens of Israel, you have been warned'

Likud Knesset members faithful to the party's platform, but branded as ?rebels? by faction leaders and local media, launched a new public relations campaign Sunday to combat Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's ?disengagement? plan.

The campaign - which will see thousands of ads posted on buses and local Internet sites, as well as the distribution of information pamphlets ? aims to highlight recent assessments by Israel's top defense officials that the planned retreat will boost ?Palestinian? terrorism.

Former-IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon and former-General Security Services Director Avi Dichter both recently warned that the ?day after? the withdrawal is likely to see a sharp rise in anti-Jewish Arab violence.

Both men were relieved of duty prematurely, many believe because of their criticism of Sharon's controversial policies.

Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, himself a recognized authority on Islamic terrorism, explained last week that the increased terror would be the result of an Arab perception that violence had drive the Jews from Gaza, and would accomplish the same in Judea, Samaria and even Tel Aviv.

Likud ?rebel? leader Uzi Landau told a Tel Aviv press conference Sunday that most of the Israelis that currently support disengagement would not do so if they knew the facts about the expected tidal wave of terror to follow.

Landau and his colleagues presented the results of a recent poll showing that 70 percent of those who back the plan do not do so whole-heartedly.

?Citizens of Israel, you have been warned,? stated MK Ehud Yatom, urging his countrymen to not ?blindly? follow Sharon's policies without first ascertaining the facts.
