This Thursday, September 15, in Jerusalem's Sacher Park,
the Gush Katif refugees will hold their first mass rally since
their expulsion. Here is the headline of the full page ad for
the event: THANK YOU IN ORANGE.
Here is the rally description below: " Under the auspices of
rabbis, public figures and the residents of Gush Katif,
thousands of youth from throughout the country will display
their unbending gratitude and faith through multi-media
shows, artistic presentations and mass dancing. We will all
come and salute them."
Now get this for the final message: "With determination, faith
and values admired throughout Israel, we will provide the
forces to continue to build and create."
Hilarious, no? Let us salute the newly homeless through
mass dancing. Afterward, let's go build some more houses
the government can tear down.
It would be a lot funnier if real Gush Katif youths weren't
going to actually participate in this sad farce. Permit me to
throw some cold reality onto the parade.
Gush Katif and northern Samaria are gone. The enemy is
dancing on the flaming ruins of your synagogues, they will
destroy the land you turned fertile and your standing
buildings will soon turn into mafia-run casinos.
And it's 90% your own fault.
From the time the dictator Sharon announced his plan to
disengage you to the day it happened, over 18 months
passed. You had 18 months to prepare your defenses. You
had eighteen months to barricade your communities, to
organize your self-defense, to oust the army from your
villages. It was your only option from the beginning.
