We had our bags packed right by the door, and one day it happened. Father rushed in from his visit to the gendarmes and said, "We're going," and so we went. Up over the Pyrenees and down into Spain and then to the legendary ship Serpa Pinto and finally to relative safety—and oh, this is a long story. The short of it is this—we had our bags packed.

Some 60 years later, all of Israel has its bags packed. Who thought it would come to this? But please listen up, O Israel. If you think you're any safer in Tel Aviv than in Gush Katif, think again. They will come for you, too. All of Israel is territory and all of it is occupied.

Yes, I understand the logic. Give up on Gaza, give up further parts of Judea and Samaria, and Israel will be secure against being swamped demographically. What's more, the IDF will have less to worry about, and what's even more, the Arabs will be ready for their 23rd homeland. The world will cheer that Israel has shown good faith in the name of peace. Congratulations will arrive from Annan, Bush, Rice, Powell, Straw and Blair. So the thinking goes, and it certainly appears to be good politics.

Most experts tell us that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is in partial mode (like being slightly pregnant), meaning that after his plan to cleanse Gaza of Jews went down to defeat, he is approaching Plan B, to do the uprooting bit by bit, so as to assure the world, "Look, I'm doing your work," and, on the other hand, to show Israel, "Look, I am kosher. See? I have split hooves."

Sharon is indeed the magician people say he is. "See what I can do? I can make Jews disappear slowly or in a snap. Poof. Now you see them, now you don't." Magic.

Of the Likud results, Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert did the math and discovered that minus is plus, a loss is a win. More magic.

Over here in the United States, the person (or the referendum) who gets the most votes wins. Doesn't matter how many people cast ballots. In fact, most local elections get about a 30 percent turnout, and even some nationwide elections grudgingly attract 50 percent of eligible voters. (About the same number of the Likud showed up to be counted.)

Still, a win is a win. Not so, apparently, by the leadership and opinion-makers in Israel. Editorialists keep reminding us that, suddenly, Likud is only Likud, not Israel.

We can be sure, however, that had the results gone the other way, in favor of Sharon and Olmert, the headlines would have been entirely different: "The people of Israel have spoken! Uprooting begins immediately." In fact, it's as if Likud never spoke. Powell and his Quartet hardly mention the will of Likud.

Where have you gone Bret Stephens of the Jerusalem Post and Eric Fettmann of the New York Post? Who are your new friends? Your thinking is clever. But all of it still means that Jews live on quicksand. This cleverness still leaves Jews without roots, Israel without sovereignty. Do you truly believe the beast that devours will ever be satiated?

The designs of the nations could not be more obvious. For the Olympics, Greece refuses to name Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland, but more famous for chairing the Israel-bashing bonfire of the vanities at Durban, is given a seat at Columbia. Academics and diplomats from east, west, north and south insist on boycotting Jewish Israel, which is virtually the only place in the Middle East where Arabs enjoy freedom of expression and Christians are free to attend church.

Few tears were shed over the murder of a pregnant Israeli woman and her four daughters. Amnesty International finally got a grip and offered a rare voice of pity for Tali Hatuel and her family. No apologies were demanded of the Arab world. None given. (But see how fast we run to them in contrition for our alleged sins of "abuse".)

In an act timed to reward this latest genocide, and in a sacrificial bounty to a generation that has no heart, hours after the Hatuel slaying the U.N. General Assembly voted to give the Palestinian Arabs complete sovereignty over Gaza, the "West Bank" and East Jerusalem. The vote was 140 to 6, a sign of plans to come.

The big plan, the real plan, the master plan, is to set all of Israel packing. Sorry to be so blunt. But that's how it is. They can fool the rest, but they can't fool me. I am wise to the abracadabra that turns showers into ovens, and in we marched. Uri Geller can bend a spoon with his mind. That is nothing compared to what they can bend with their boycotts, resolutions, accords, Quartets, road maps and peace processes.

But let's pretend that Olmert's plan succeeds by whatever trickery he uses as the self-anointed king of post-Israel. Okay, so here's another plan. If Jews may not live with Arabs in Arab lands, then let's be fair. Arabs, therefore, may not live with Jews in Jewish lands. This means that the million and a half Arabs that live in Israel must be sent packing as well.

Anyone who singles out Jews exclusively for ethnic cleansing is surely a bigot. Of course, no one wants to be called a bigot in this age of political correctness.

So if we go, they go, and let Barenboim go with them and forever fiddle Wagner in Ramallah.
