Sense of Forfeiture Near Gaza<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Excerpts;<\/p>\n

Israeli communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip have lost hope: Just over half a year since the disengagement, and their homes, some of which lie a couple of hundreds of meters from Qassam launch pads, have become a fire zone. <\/p>\n

Hundreds of Qassam rockets were fired into these communities in the last few months. Promises of fortified roofs and sealed rooms proved to be nothing but sweet talk. <\/p>\n

At the exception of one community, nothing happened. <\/p>\n

“We are like geese in fire range,” residents told Isreal’s leading newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth. “No one cares what’s happening here. No one. The state has abandoned us.” <\/p>\n

“There isn’t a sealed room for every family. They have put us in a very unpleasant situation. We have to decide who gets a room and who doesn’t.<\/em> This means who lives and who dies. Just like God,” Avi Kadosh, the kibbutz’ secretary-general said. <\/p>\n

Netiv Haasara is the only kibbutz where reinforcement work has been completed. A sealed room has been erected near each house in the community and kindergartens have been fitted with fortified roofs. “Reinforcement is only a tranquilizer. The sound of explosions is impossible to eliminate. Quiet living has long gone. At nights no one leaves home out of fear,” a resident said. <\/em><\/p>\n

Residents said their children are leaving the community and finding new homes in other cities. <\/p>\n

“Many families who rented here have left. We were once considered a much recommended community. Today I barely dare say I live in Netiv.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
