Left-wing Jewish activists are continuing their pro-Arab protests as the Rosh Hashanah Arab Assault enters its seventh month. One group, led by a woman named Gila Svirsky, is complementing its sparsely-attended protests with an enthusiastic e-mail campaign. \"Today\'s demonstration in Tel-Aviv was wonderful. We were roughly 200, mostly women,\" Svirsky reported to her faithful Thursday evening. \"We wore black and banged vigorously on our pots and pans in time to the slogans led by Dalit, Iris, and perhaps others. A specially nice touch was the black, helium-filled balloons with the message printed on it \'End the Occupation, End the Closure - Coalition of Women for a Just Peace.\'\"
Another slogan, this one directed at Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer asks: \"Fuad, Fuad, Minister of Defense - How many children have you killed today? End the closure in the territories; get out of their bloodstream!\" Among the activities planned by the group for next week: the rebuilding of illegally-built Arab homes bulldozed by the IDF; a joint Arab-Israeli demonstration at the Bethlehem checkpoint, and the removal of the Halhoul roadblock.
The PLO mini-war against Israel began last September, after Yasser Arafat\'s Camp David refusal of over 95% of Judea, Samaria, Gaza, control over Arab eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods, and a share in the sovereignty over the Temple Mount.
