Katif Expellee Ordered to Expel Hevron Jews

Full Text;

According to Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, the head of the hesder yeshiva in Elon Moreh, one of the soldiers sent to expel Jews from their homes in Hevron on Tuesday was expelled from his home in Gush Katif in 2005. “Is it logical,” Rabbi Levanon asked, “to ask a young man who lives in [caravan city] Nitzan and whose family was expelled to expel people from their homes?”

The general public would agree that the young man should not have been required to participate in the expulsion, Rabbi Levanon said. He called on IDF officials to investigate the incident. If a soldier tells his commander that he is unable to fulfill an order because it goes against his ideals, Rabbi Levanon added, “that is not refusing orders.” read more

Commentary;

Haaretz published a scathing editorial attacking the already repeatedly put-upon former Gush Katif residents. The editorial was, in the opinion of this author, chock full of deliberate, pre-meditated lies, misrepresentations and inaccuracies.

As a former resident of Gush Katif who is active within the community of Katif expellees and in a position to know the true facts, Dror Vanunu explains that the “claim in left-wing paper Haaretz that each former Katif residents had received $500,000 was completely inaccurate.” read more

Quite a few people have told me over this campaign that they can’t perceive of Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit winning this or any Likud primary.

There are comments like; He’s too unknown, He has no legislative background or experience, Manhigut Yehudit is too small a movement, he could never win national election — that Likud would end up with less seats in Knesset than now, even single-digit numbers.

But, guess what people; victory seems waiting for us on Primary Day. It’s like “the Tugger“ used to say; “Ya Gotta Believe!” read more

One of the things which really gets this author’s ire is the chutzpadik attitude of the Likud party towards it’s voters.

Consider the recent attempts by the Likud and it’s current party leadership to oust one of the current principals in the race for Likud leadership with the Leadership primary to tke place on 14 August, merely 15 days from now.

What are some of the rationale’s being used to justify ousting Manhigut Yehudit and it’s standard-bearer Moshe Feiglin? read more

Commentary;

In 59 years since Israel’s modern-day statehood, perhaps things have remained the same. Sarah Honig writes a powerful and devastating analogy between the rhetoric of the Altalena period and the rhetoric of the expulsion from Gush Katif and the 4 Shomron towns.

Palmah soldier Uri Yarom;

“…. I’ll never forget that fellow wearing a blue shirt done up with a white cord [the Hashomer Hatza’ir uniform], who directed the snipers to their targets and pointed to each head that bobbed above the water’s surface. His eyes flashed with hatred as he egged the sharpshooters on with his shouts, spotted their quarry and encouraged them to get the swimmers. My heart shuddered within me. Before my eyes was waged a war between brothers! Jews are shooting Jews – in order to kill!” read more
