binical Council to reconsider its
earlier rulings (issued during
Rabbi Shapira's term as Chief
Rabbi) that forbid the concession
of any part of the Land of Israel."
Even some rabbis who live in
the West Bank questioned the
ruling's wisdom on practical as
well as halachic grounds.
Calling the ruling "a political
act," Rabbi Yehuda Amital, head
of the Hesder Yeshiva in Gush
Etzion (where observant con-
scripts are able to study as part
of their military service), noted
that, as a precedent, the order
could have grave consequences
for the broader settler commu-
nity. For by the same token that
observant soldiers refuse to dis-
mantle bases, "Tomorrow secu-
lar soldiers may refuse to defend
... the settlements over the Green
Line."
Rabbi Shapira stood his
ground. He insisted that in a con-
flict between civil and clerical
authority, "even if the king com-
mands Jews to go against the
Torah, he is not to be obeyed."
Yet, the distinct discomfort of
so many rabbinical leaders raises
the question of whether the ril-
ing will not ultimately do the set-
tlers' cause more harm than good.
Coincidentally or otherwise,
hot on the heels of the ruling, and
following a meeting with the
Prime Minister Rabin, members
of the Yesha Council of Jewish
The controversial
order could drive
West Bank settlers
further away from
the majority of
Israelis.
Communities in Judea, Samaria,
and Gaza rejected mounting a
civil-disobedience campaign, in-
cluding a tax strike, blocking
> main arteries throughout the
country, and signing reservists
on a declaration of intent to dis-
obey any order to evacuate bases
in the West Bank.
Such thinking is no doubt de-
signed to keep the settlers a part
of, rather than apart from, the
majority of the population.
"Most Israelis don't like people
• who disobey military orders, of
whatever ilk.," Ha'aretz columnist
Gideon Levi observed this week.
If the settlers carry out their
threats to create traffic jams at
the height of the summer heat,
"they'll lose more points with pub-
lic opinion."
And the more disruptive their
protests grow, the more sympa-
thetic mainstream parties like
\ the Likud (which depend heavily
• on votes from the political center)
will be forced to edge away from
them. Li
