Gush Katif Residents Would be Buffers, But…

moshe

Commentary;

Expelled former residents of Gush Katif seek to return and to settle in their previous homes in order to act a buffer to protect their brethren in S’derot and in the Negev. Unquestionably, such an action would go a long way toward reversing the wrong and restoring the wholeness of many of the former residents.

But this has about as much chance of actually happening as meeting the “man in the moon.” For such a return to take place would take regime endorsement and approval. Such endorsement and approval by Israel’s politicians and leaders could NEVER happen because it would constitute their frank admission of the gross moral backruptcy of the hitnatkut, the expulsion and any further “consolidation.” It would then open the way for commissions to investigate how it is possible for Jews to put their brethren out of their homes and to legally steal from them. read more

Bibi voting for the Expulsion: One Picture Says It All!!

Bibi opted to vote for expulsion and everything to Bibi is politics, even Jewish morality and our Divine right and legacy; Eretz Yisrael. And his political rhetoric now is phoney, artificial and transparent. Remember: Acquiesence is Complicity! read more

Gush Katif evacuees living in Nitzan don’t know who to turn to. They fear temporary site will become permanent, claim authorities will not take responsibility for them.

Gush Katif evacuees living in the mobile-home site Nitzan were hoping to celebrate Pessach, the festival of freedom, in a permanent location. However, the harsh reality is that a year and a half after they were removed from their homes in the Gaza strip, there is no solution for them in sight. read more

Neglecting the Gaza Evacuees, by Binyamin Netanyahu (Jerusalem Post)

Full Text;

More than a year has passed since the communities in Gush Katif and northern Gaza were uprooted. Over 1,000 families went from being evacuees to refugees in their own country. Very little has changed since then.

Despite the government’s assurances and the establishment of a large and well-budgeted agency to handle their re-acculturation, hundreds of families are still facing an unbearable reality. Most live in temporary communities. According to the evacuees’ data, nearly half are unemployed and those who did find work earn no more than half of what they used to earn prior to the pullout. read more

A Step Forward [??] for One Gush Katif Community, by Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)

Excerpts;

A proposal to expand a central-Israel moshav for families expelled from Netzer Hazani has been submitted. Elsewhere, Katif expellees already settled in Shomeriya say they still have no phone lines.

The expelled families of Gush Katif continue to suffer the ups and downs of the bureaucratic process of building them permanent homes in place of the ones the government destroyed in the summer of 2005.

The families of Netzer Hazani were given reason for hope, while those of Atzmonah-Shomeriya and Shirat Hayam scored a minus. read more

For context, click here.

The Maskiot Mess, Editorial (Jerusalem Post)

“The Jordan Valley, with only a sparse Arab population, is considered part of Israel’s national consensus and vital to Israeli security. It was settled primarily at Labor’s direct initiative and the Labor-affiliated settlements were dubbed ‘security settlements’ by Yitzhak Rabin.”

“Peace Now, which attacked Peretz’s initial decision, has raked him over the coals. Dror Etkes, its settlement monitoring coordinator, carped at “the continued zigzag… the surrender to pressure from different directions and the inability to formulate consistent policy guidelines.” read more

Red Tape [Undoubtedly Deliberate and Punitive] Keeps Gaza Evacuees From New Homes By Tovah Lazaroff (Jerusalem Post)

Commentary;

Based on the past year ‘s track record of compelled justification by virtue of presentation to the bureaucracy of decades of electric or phone bills, arbitrary and punitive compensation awards despite presentation of all papers and documents, attempts to compel the former Gush Katif residents to sign fraudulent documents in order to secure their ‘advances’, deliberate sequestion of the former Gush Katif residents from their belongings placed in moving containers and held ransom by the Regime, DNA testing to prove their children, etc., undoubtedly the former Gush Katif Residents are being subjected by the Regime to yet more deliberate, cruel, senseless and punitive red tape in their efforts to reestablish their lives.
