It was a difficult year, very difficult. We never invested so
much energy, sweat, prayers and tears into one public battle.
We never felt so betrayed and abandoned by the Israeli
government.
So far, so good, right?
We tried everything, fought on all fronts, and though filled
with righteousness, on Tisha B'Av, disaster befell us. In his
eyes, G-d did what was best for us.
Okay, it was G-d's fault.
We present an important accounting of our activities, to clear
the air. The expulsion could not have happened without the
hushup by the country's elites, the cooperation of the police
and the lack of criticism by the media. Despite these
impossible obstacles, we managed to succeed on a number
of fronts. For example, we forced the Likud to hold a party
referendum. But we admit failures. Many who demonstrated
at Kfar Maimon came home worn out and disappointed.
So far, we seem to be getting a sincere accounting. But this
is mere trickery. Look what comes next:
We roundly criticize the followers of the far right, who
blocked roads and spread oil and nails on them.
So many lies in one sentence. The road-blockers were NOT
organized by the far right. This was a grassroots rebellion of
mostly mainstream concerned youth. And not a one of them
was EVER arrested for spreading oil and nails on the roads.
The public consensus, and the correct conclusion, is these
acts were the products of the sick minds of the Jewish
Department of the Shabak.
It was proven in polls, beyond dispute, that road-blocking
damaged our battle and our goals.
