Haifa Victim to Gush Katif Residents: ‘I Am Sorry’
Full Text;
A Haifa resident under siege by Hizbullah attacks and who ignored opponents to the government’s expulsion of Gush Katif resident has written the expulsion victims and asked for forgiveness.
In an open letter posted on a Gush Katif forum web site, Y. S. wrote, “I closed my business since the beginning of the battle and I don’t know what will happen. I never thought that I, a Haifa resident for 30 years, would be a refugee in my own land.
“During five years you coped with bombs, and I didn’t care. Even when you came to visit me in my house, to explain, to convince, to share your feelings with me, I refused to listen to you.
“People from Gush Katif and the Shomron! Forgive me! Forgive us for not understanding you. I am not a religious man, and not a mystic person.” The Haifa resident concluded that his problems are “the price that I am paying now for my late understanding.”
Commentary;
As the anniversary date of the expulsion draws closer, and as the katyusha rocket blitz in the north continues, undoubtedly many more will see the mida keneged mida, the divine connection between last year’s expulsion of Jews and this year’s displacement of many more than 9,000 Jews as a result of Hezbollah’s daily katyusha blitz of the north.
The wish of this author, that the war on both fronts end with the decimation of the murderous, terrorist enemy. MB

[…] This author adds a caveat, that when the Rav writes “we would be begging each destroyed community to pick one representative——–and together they would form a Minyan …” that this means many more tons letters to the Gush Katif people such as was written by the Haifa resident and reported on Arutz-7, as well as flooding the refugees cellular phones with pleas for forgiveness by thounsands, 10s of thousands of secular Israelis, as well as similar 10s of thousands of Chareidim who went about their lives on Yom Pakuda, business as usual and who voted Gimmel or Shas in the past election — Chareidim who sit smug in their homes and have a mindset of “we wouldn’t live in Yesha — you think we’re crazy?” I also include in this caveat the politicians — while we can’t expect hard-hearted Olmert, Peretz, Peres, Ramon, Ezra or Tommy Lapid to do such –to repudiate their policies of Realignment at any and all cost and to admit their error, responsibility and beg forgiveness , I think we can safely include Eli Yishai, Rav Ovadia Yosef , the Shas politicians (please remember this is my caveat and I take responsibility) as well as the Ashkenaz Gedolim and Aguda politicians. That all of them plead for forgiveness with their solemn neder that next time — the next attempt at an expulsion will be fought unequivocably, tooth-to-nail and by every means possible.

[…] And a year later, we continue to care for our beloved Gush Katif brethren while simultaneously caring for, in much the same way, the many-fold of our brethren in the North, not a few of whom supported last year’s expulsions, and who now find themselves displaced from their homes by a weapons-stocked enemy and a war, both directly attributeable to Islamic lust, a consequence of the regime’s blind hatred which drove the expulsion ahead, even at the cost of making the nation security-vulnerable. This is a war of direct mida-kenegged-mida for the regime’s utter disdain and disregard for the electorate of which they claim leadership over and enforcement of laws against. […]
