Ok, Victor David Hanson is up there too.
I watched that day in abject horror. My blood curdled when I saw Israeli Jews being herded into truck trailers that looked for all practicle purposes like cattlecars. My brain screamed as the tears poured and I could not believe that my people, whose slogan in life and in death was “never again,” fighting for their very lives against their own who were herding them with rubber bullets and water hoses.
That day, something inside me died. I lost all respect for Israel’s government and for Ariel Sharon who lives on in a world no one can reach and yet seemingly cannot die. Maybe it is because G-d doesn’t want him.
I watched rich Anerican Jews like zuckerman and wolfsohn, who at bush’s request, paid millions of dollars to ‘donate’ the beautiful greenhouses to falsestinians who promptly stole the fixtures then shattered what was left rather than use them to make a living. And I have never forgiven nor forgotten.
Jewish men, women, and frightened small children were marched onto buses and driven out of Gaza crying and wailing, but they could not really fight their brethren and draw Jewish blood any more than they could fight unarmed against the nazis. They were helpless. Resistance was futile.
In many ways it was a worse pain than being herded by nazis because they understood the nazi hatred, but now it was their own blood who was doing this, and even until the last second they could not believe it would really happen.
HaShem knows the difference between Jews and statist appeasers. And I fear that forgiveness now, just as in times of old, will be paid for with a high price as G-d watches and does not intervene because we remain a stiffnecked people who would rather have the approval of fickle and undesirable men than the blessings of G-d.
