Six Years After Expulsion: 'We Will Come Back'

Hundreds of residents of Gush Katif marked on Wednesday the sixth anniversary of their expulsion from their homes, during the Sharon government’s 2005 disengagement plan from Gaza.

The annual event marking the anniversary of the expulsion from Gush Katif took place, as it does each year, near the Kissufim crossing, which is the closest point to what was formerly the Jewish communities of Gush Katif.

“Kissufim, which is right next to where we are, in English means yearning,” said Dror Vanunu, International Director of the Gush Katif Committee. “And the feeling is that all of us are yearning for the place we had to leave a few years ago.”

Vanunu said that today, 20% percent of the Gush Katif expellees, who had to move into temporary caravans after the expulsion, have moved into permanent homes.

“Hopefully by the end of 2012 the majority of the families of Gush Katif will be living in permanent homes in different communities around the country,” he said, yet added, “Physically we’ll be there but our hearts will be deep in Gush Katif, still waiting for the day that all of us, together with the people of Israel, can move back to Gush Katif.”

I sympathize with them, and would be glad if they returned after Hamas and the Salafist and other assorted nutbags' uppances come, but I'd also be glad if the Ghaza Strip were put under Egyptian sovereignty, and they'd settle said nutbags' hash once and for all, preferably with a firing squad and a brick wall.

Watching those people being removed from their homes was heartbreaking.

Ariel Sharon was a good man, I often wonder how he got deceived into thinking the Palestinians and their rulers would EVER be peaceful with his nation.

Man’s refusal to recognize his enemies, even when they’re right in his face, is an amazing psychological phenomenon.

It astonishes me that no one in thew world seems to see this as “ethnic cleansing”. The so-called Palistinians want no Jews in their pretend homeland. No world condemnation. The powers that be just take it for granted; the way things should be.

Not many will remember the $14 million dollars as promissed for payment to the former Gush Katif residents so they would not dismantle the special green houses they bought and built and move them with the expelled settlers. I somehow doubt the money was ever paid.

Few will remember that almost 75% (that's seventy-five percent) of Israel's vegetables and fruits were grown organically in an insect free environment and came from those special green houses.

Few will remember that after Gush Katif residents left, hordes of moslems smashed, looted, destroyed and bulldozed those special green houses and along with them, the food production they represented for the moslems.

And few will remember that the moslems upon realizing their wanton vandalism then offered to re-hire former Jewish farmers to consult, re-build and teach the moslems how to actually use the green houses.

The Powers that be would be embarrassed if they had allowed the mitnahalim to stay in Ghaza, and expected the piece-loving Palestinians living there to respect their inalienable rights and not massacre them.
