Don’t the Gush Katif Refugees Deserve At Least the Consideration that The Knesset Gives the North?
‘People Have Forgotten About Us’, By Hillel Fendel (Israel National News)
Full Text;
The Speaker, Kadima MK Dalia Itzik, called this week upon the Government of Israel to declare the coming year the “Year of the North.” She said that tourism from abroad and from Israel should be encouraged to the Galilee and northern Israel.
Her words are representative of widespread national sympathy for the hundreds or thousands who were forced to flee the north during the recent war and seek alternate housing in hotels and dormitories or with relatives and friends. Itzik herself mentioned the “hundreds of thousands of good citizens who helped out the people of the north.”
