Israel and The Sin of Expulsion

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.

NU/NRP Candidate: We Combine Unity and Political Savvy

Excerpts;

“There is no real difference between the Likud and Kadima,’ Bank told Arutz-7. ‘Both of them keep on talking about peace, agreements and what borders we will be willing to retreat to. We, on the other hand, say that the Palestinian Authority must be dismantled and totally disarmed, and that Israel must take control again over those areas.'” read more
