Gaza Evacuee on Qassams: I Told You So
Excerpts:
“I warned that the disengagement would blow up in our faces, says Avi Farhan, a former resident of the Ele Sinai settlement in Gaza, which was evacuated last summer.”
“Terrorists have been firing Qassams from the Ele Sinai area toward Ashkelon, and Qassam attacks from Beit Hanun and Beit Lahiya have been targeting Sderot, Farhan’s current home.”
“I call Sharon to be the man that I knew 40 years ago.”
Steinitz: You’re too Absurd for Words!
Excerpts:
“Israel should launch a large-scale counter terror operation, similar to operation Defense Shield in 2002, in order to curb attacks on Israel, Knesset Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Yuval Steinitz said, speaking at a political forum in Be’er Sheva Saturday.”
“Another proposal by Steinitz was to impose a one-hour power outage in the Gaza Strip every time a Qassam lands in Israeli territory, with a one-day blackout in case of Israeli casualties.”
Commentary:
Steinitz: See how indignantly righteous you’ve become in calling for these steps. YOU supported the Expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif.
As this author wrote shortly before the Expulsion; “And when the Kassams now falling in Neve Dekalim and Sderot begin falling in Ashdod, Ashkelon, Kiryat Gat and beyond?? What about the collective tax bite and minus for Yosef Q. Secular Israeli? Who will the Am then blame?
5. We are the front line of Judaism. Our humiliation at rewarding terror would cast all Jews here and in Chutz L’Aretz again as “spineless”. Look for serious Anti-Semitic backlash. And Chas V’Chalila after Jew would expell Jew, expect the Arabs and the world to attack us at will and as we have probably not seen in the past 50 years. We would again be viewed by the world, as we were seen by the Nazis, as spineless, sub-human creatures. Nothing would remain sacred.
We felt betrayed when we were attacked at the Munich Olympics, on the Holy day of Yom Kippur, in the Air France plane hijacked to Entebbe. Don’t dare feel betrayed again because, for the Secular Israeli who Chas V’Chalila supports expulsion of his Jewish brothers, perhaps nothing Jewish could ever be sacred again.”
Steinitz. YOU and the other Likud ‘Old Boys’ still don’t get the connection between acting the way Jews are supposed to act, fighting for Jewish principle and how the Islamic enemy perceives us: as weak, spineless, afraid and doubtful as to our legacy of Eretz Yisrael from Hashem. With that perception, the Islamics across the board act accordingly. MB
