declarations and they are very busy making chaos
throughout the Middle East at this very moment. Lebanon
and Syria have now joined Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel in the
bloody remaking of the Middle East in their image, and that
will finally be a Middle East without borders controlled from
abroad.
The Gush Katif surrender is stage one in the latest campaign
to diminish and eventually eliminate Israel as a sovereign
entity. Instead Israel will vanish into a Middle East bloc of
nations which will someday meld with the EU, NAFTA etc.
into one happy and obedient world parliament. The hard part
is getting people to part with their heritage, history and land
and agree to this entirely new order. The Gush Katif sellout
required an undeclared war against the Jewish residents of
Gaza which utilized every psychological trick to wear down a
people's will until they give in to a scheme that will spell
disaster for them and their nation.
These tricks included psychologically targeted murder and
lots of it.
What now follows is the introduction to my lecture.
On Feb. 26/05 I took my book table and son to Kfar Bilu, a
prosperous moshav near Rehovot. He had been my
assistant at many rallies and demonstrations against the
Gaza pullout but this one would be different. A group called
Nahalal claimed to be composed of kibbutz and moshav
members, secular and even left wing, who were opposed to
the government's Gush Katif policy. The leader had declared
on TV, the evening before, that his group would gather
200,000 secular Israelis in Gush Katif to fight the army and
protect the rightful residents. This time, I told my son, we
would see some hope.
Hope was dashed quickly enough. Only 60 people showed
up to the meeting and I knew most of them from previous
rallies. The mass movement of secular Israelis against the
Gaza withdrawal was not very massive.
