If I was the moshiach I sure wouldn't want anything to do with
this sorry lot. The depths of their delusion is beyond easy
comprehension but let us look at one example.
TWO days after the enemy felled Gush Katif, I saw a group
of young men handing out pamphlets to save the place, in a
Modiin shopping center. I asked them, "What are you doing?
It's over." One replied, "It is not over. We can still sway public
opinion."
Briefly stunned, I retorted, "This crappy public abandoned
you. You are finished."
Reality returned and the young man asked, "So what can we
do?"
There is only one out. "Find a sympathetic army officer or
two and take over the Knesset."
I wasn't kidding. But they laughed. And they will laugh and
laugh until they have nothing left to find funny anymore.
And that's what the protesters were up to for the past year.
They were gathering by the tens of thousands outside the
Knesset laughing and dancing to tuneless Arieh Zilber
songs. They danced their homes away. No one actually
thought to pass out a thousand wire cutters, an equal
number of Mace cans, and stage a sit-in inside the Knesset.
Nah, they were too busy being Sioux Ghost Dancers to
actually take action. Why bother with action anyway when a
last second miracle is on the way?
Two days before the fascist troops moved into Gush Katif,
there was a rally where more than 200,000 people showed
up. Where was it? In Tel Aviv. Not near the Gush Katif
prisoners? Of course not. 200,000 could have actually
overwhelmed the forces and made withdrawal unfeasible.
And that was not what the kapos of the Yesha Council
wanted.
