The refugees will take their children out of school and
prepare for a long struggle. It may be many months, perhaps
years, until the government relents. That will require supplies
and lots of them. I will empty my wallet for this and join the
refugees in their tents.
And I won't be alone.
However, if Gush Katif refuses to fight back, they will get
nothing from me. And I won't be alone.
Nobody admires a beggar for long.
IT WAS A VERY BAD YEAR
The Thursday before the Jewish New Year, there was a
celebration in Jerusalem. The youth of Yesha gathered to
salute the brave youth of Gush Katif. For 18 months I had
seen the same kids gather to save their land. They were the
most spirited young people in the land. They believed they
could fight expulsion from their homes by the power of their
combined goodness.
Not anymore. This night they looked lifeless. Their spirit was
gone. They looked like they had been raped.
And they had been, non-stop, for a whole year.
The thoroughly criminal leaders of Israel, governmental,
rabbinical and media, had gang-raped the country this past
year and it looks like they'll be coming back for sloppy
seconds next year. I don't apologize for the crudity. Even it
doesn't begin to describe what the body of Judaism has
suffered in the past 12 months.
It is half a day before the year ends. Today, I'll summarize
the crimes and crooks through their felonies and the effect
they've had on some people I know. Come Yom Kippur, I'll
tell you how the criminality of the rulers has corrupted Israelis
