million in Palestinian tax money in
installments, on the condition that
none of it reaches terrorists; easing
movement by lifting roadblocks,
although the Israeli army and Shin
Bet warn this could invite a new
wave of suicide bombings; and
renewing economic and trade ties.
Olmert said he intended to meet
Abbas at least once every two weeks
to take the new process forward.
"We will work with this government
which recognizes Israel, accepts
previous agreements and rejects vio-
lence" to "create political opportuni-
ties and a better life he said.
Olmert's policy toward the
Hamas regime in Gaza will be the
opposite. While Israel will allow the
flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza,
it will do all it can to isolate the
Hamas government. Already this
seems to be having an effect.
On the first anniversary of his
abduction, the captors of Gilad
Shalit released an audio tape in
which the kidnapped Israeli soldier
urges the government to do a deal
to secure his release. Pundits see the
release of the tape, the first sign of
life from Shalit since his capture, as
evidence that Hamas, ignored even
by some Arab countries, is seeking
ways to get back into the game.
Now, as Olmert and Abbas make
progress, the question is: Will
Hamas be ready to actually effect
Shalit's release to alleviate its grow-
ing isolation? II

Detroit Palestinian community
spokesmen were quoted in the
press last week blaming the
recent Hamas violence in Gaza
on the "Israeli occupation."

The Answer

The Jeanette and Oscar Cook Jewish
Occupational Internship Program (JOIN)
provides summer internships for college
students at Jewish communal
agencies such as Jewish Family Service,
Jewish Home and Aging Services,
the Jewish Federation and JARC.
Participating in the mentschlichkeit of
the Jewish social services safety net has
inspired these young people to become
communal professionals or lay leaders
with a passion for Jewish causes.

Many of our communal leaders began
as JOIN interns.

The Charge

The brutal Hamas takeover of
Gaza earlier this month was a
solely internal Palestinian battle
as, in 2005, Israel completely
withdrew troops and civilians
from there, ending a nearly 40-
year presence.
