The Olmert regime-sponsored abuse, discrimination and persecution of former Gush Katif residents continues over 2 1/2 years after the expulsion. This time, it’s the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council attempting to seize the bank accounts of 500 families living in Nitzan for non-payment of property taxes regarding “temporary residential structures… exempt from property taxes all over the country.”

American radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has continually used the phrase “symbolism Over substance” in illustrating cases of governmental lip-service toward a principle or issue.

We find, with the Gush Katif stamp, a classic example of “symbolism Over substance.” While large numbers of former Gush Katif residents have suffered, and continue to suffer directly-related psychological trauma, as well as continuing, in large part, to live limbo without permanent resettlement, lack of compensation and lack of parnossa, the Gush Katif stamp means nothing other than the regime throwing them a worthless, meaningless bone for all of their suffering. A stamp is meaningless payback for their persecution and for the loss of of their beloved Gush Katif due to their Jewishness! When do Jews stop settling for their epitaphs? MB read more

In 59 years since Israel’s modern-day statehood, perhaps things have remained the same. Sarah Honig writes a powerful and devastating analogy between the rhetoric of the Altalena period and the rhetoric of the expulsion from Gush Katif and the 4 Shomron towns.

Palmah soldier Uri Yarom;

“…. I’ll never forget that fellow wearing a blue shirt done up with a white cord [the Hashomer Hatza’ir uniform], who directed the snipers to their targets and pointed to each head that bobbed above the water’s surface. His eyes flashed with hatred as he egged the sharpshooters on with his shouts, spotted their quarry and encouraged them to get the swimmers. My heart shuddered within me. Before my eyes was waged a war between brothers! Jews are shooting Jews – in order to kill!” read more
