Gaza Evacuees Vow ‘Total Chaos’

Kassam-Weary Residents Vow Change

Commentary;

These two groups seem a natural for alliance. The Gush Katif Refugees, with their issues; no jobs, no farms, no compensation, no partial compensation, a substantial number them still homeless with no temporary or permanent solution, those with “temporary” solutions subject to nightly theft and looting, etc., and the residents of the towns bordering Gaza; the Kibbutzim, Ashkelon and others with their security issues both have been snookered by the government again and again over these past 7 months. These two groups seem a natural for creating a substantial mutually beneficial alliance to wreak havoc upon the Israeli government which has abrogated it’s governmental responsibilities to the Jewish people, the people that they are supposed to govern.

High Homeless Numbers for Expulsion Refugees

Full Text;

“According to a report by the Committee of Gaza Settlements, almost a third of the refugees from the expulsion of Jewish communities from Gaza are still homeless.“

“Figures provided by the Disengagement Authority and the Committee show that some thirty percent of the 8,000 Jews who were forced out of their homes last summer are still living in hotels, some entire families in school dormitories and even tents.“

“The two agencies agreed on little else, however. Despite some progress in finding sites for the communities to re-establish themselves, the jobless rate for the refugees remains high.“ read more

On Wednesday afternoon, 26 July, 2018 , this author set out by autobus from Ramat Beit Shemesh traveling to Petach Tikva, no easy feat on 3 buses and a taxi, to the Shiva House of Mishpachat Levi — the family of Staff Sgt. Aviv Levi z”l, struck down by a Hamas terrorist sniper’s fire last Friday, 20 July.

As I rode, memories of the Gush Katif Expulsion of thirteen years ago again came to my mind: The words of then-prime minister Arik Sharon to the IDF Chief Rabbi (as reported on Israel National News years ago) about “forty years of peace,” Bibi’s voting hand raised high in approval in Knesset despite a Likud party referrendum which voted it down, the bodily removal, expulsion and herding onto buses of my fellow Jews, the destruction of hundreds of homes owned by Jews by police and Yasamnikim as well as the burning down to the ground of the main Shul of Neve Dekalim by Hamas, the burning destruction of thousands of dunams of agriculture by Hamas after wealthy Europeans and Canadians acquired them for the Arab Gaza residents and much more. The nine-thousand Gush Katif residents removed were replaced by years rocket and mortar onslaughts on S’derot and the other border towns, multiple wars with usage of civilians as human shields as well as attacks of recent vintage — drones, kite and balloon bombs and snipers. “Forty years of peace,” Yeah, right! More like, the fruits of the Hitnatkut, the Israeli gift which keeps on taking which, last Friday, took the life of Staff Sgt. Aviv Levi. read more
