Our World: The Jewish Refugees, By Caroline Glick

Excerpts:

“When one enters Nitzan, at first glance it looks like a success story. The roads are largely paved. Each family lives in a red-roofed mobile home with grassy lawns all around. But dig just slightly beneath the surface and you see you are in a refugee camp. The fiberglass walls of the homes can be torn apart by a stray soccer ball. Children play in dirt plots next to moving bulldozers. Sewage runs openly between the homes. And those homes – 60 square meters for families of five and under, and 90 square meters for families with more than three children – are cramped and tiny. Most of the families in Nitzan had lived in homes that averaged 200 square meters in Gaza.” read more

Vicar Asks Israel’s Help for Christians of Bethlehem

Here’s an oldie but a goodie from December, 2003 about how the left instructs young high school students on how to avoid and evade duty in the IDF. This is particularly instructive in light of the hypocritical approach taken by law enforcement against those who protest last August’s expulsion by not serving their scheduled reserve duty. MB
