Lt. Col. (res.) Avi Farhan, who was evicted from Yamit and Gush Katif, on Thursday called on the government to provide the appropriate Zionist response to terrorism and to reestablish the communities of Dugit, Elei Sinai and Nisanit on the northern tip of Gaza.
The three communities were evicted in 2005 as part of the “Disengagement” from Gaza.
In a conversation with Arutz Sheva, Farhan pointed out that Gazan Arabs do not live on the ruins of these three communities. "There are only ruins there, and they serve as a nest for terrorism. These communities should be rebuilt just as Netiv Halamed Heh, Mishmar Hashiva, Kiryat Shmona and Ein Hashlosha were built following terrorist attacks. This should be the response to terrorism.”
"The foundations are already there. It would be quicker to rebuild my home in Elei Sinai than to build the house in Neve Yam, for which we have not yet received building permits 13 years after we were expelled," he continued.
Farhan said that the reality in which terrorists fire rockets toward the State of Israel from the places where Israeli communities were once located must be stopped.
"Unfortunately I was right when I presented maps and said, 'Stop the mistake and do not evacuate the communities,' at least not the northern bloc of Dugit, Elei Sinai and Nisanit, where the government invested 70 million shekels in building an electronic separation fence and sealed Gaza from southern Israel.”
"I said at the time that we are the defensive wall of the State of Israel, the defensive wall of Ashkelon, Sderot, Ashdod, etc. They looked at me like a madman. I warned that they would bomb the strategic sites of the power station and its surroundings from where my house had been located and now it’s happening....

However, the three re-built communities would also have to be defended from invasion tunnels, border mob attacks, arson kites, and rocket and mortar fire from much closer range.
Since the communities already lay in ruin, why not keep the terrorists out with heavy artillery fire and regular conventional bombing?
They had to be defended back then, too. If the former mitnahalim want to move back there, I won’t stand in their way. They’re braver men and women than I.
And then the Jewish Gaza community will be targeted with rocket and gunfire.
Why not just bulldoze a no man’s land?
They were always targeted with rocket and gunfire. And they had to be forcibly removed in 2005. These are extraordinary people, heroes. Let them be what they’ll be.

At this point in time, difficult to rebuild. There were those who wished to remain under Palestinian rule. That probably should have been allowed as a personal choice, though putting the murderous culture of Gaza on display probably wasn't worth lives.
So long as they’re down for it, and they know what they’re in for, they have my blessings. Lock and load and watch your backs. Show the world an example of true grit.
I visited the evacuees in their caravans a few months after their ejection from Gaza. Emotionally, they showed photos of the beautiful communities they had and predicted that they would return, after the Arabs showed yet again their love not of peace, but of only destruction for themselves and their neighbors. The Jews of Gaza were considered heroes when they turned Gaza into something beautiful. It can happen again. The world should be told that the IDF will become the best peacemaker possible: with one more rocket or one more terrorist infiltrator from Gaza, the IDF will become the best peacemaker possible by removing and repatriating these “refugees” to Arab countries.
