Believe it or not , I am going to try to write positively here,but we'll start with reality as I see it , which is not so positive . Ok? Ok :-) I'll try to make it short : In the late 70- early 80 Israel signed a "peace" treaty with Egypt . Israel gave up on all of the desert of Sinai -which we had conquered for the usual reason - The Egyptians had really (really , really:) wanted to wipe out Israel (again) but the attampt ,better known as The Yom kipur war had not worked out (again).
The Egyptian President then Mr Saadat promised not to attack again. (It was nice of him) Israeli people who lived there were evacuated quite easily ;mainly because they got a good penny out of it -in other words most of them were bribed. Only a minority protested over the move . This treatment gave way to the idea,that if a state or a terror organization wants free territories or other goods from Israel - all they have to do is recognize Israel's right to exist and say other pleasant things -and they are on the ball. Egypt by the way continued its anti-Israeli policy and to this day an Israeli going to Egypt is risking his/her life . If you see cartoons about Israel in Egyptian newspapers ,you may mistake them for Der Stürmer.
.
was it 1993 that the Oslo agreements were signed ? Let me check Google. Yes , These were the damned agreements that caused a wave of terror in Israel . Most affected places were , the way I see it , Jerusalem and the Gaza strip . All Jewish villages in the Gaza strip suffered from the uprising terror . To this day I find myself having a feeling of aversion when I merely hear the name Oslo and it's not because of the pork that these unpleasant people gobble. The Oslo agreements opened an era in which Jewish villagers from Gaza were constantly attacked ,and when I say villagers I mean men , women , children ,babies . The surrender of the Israeli government to Ashaf , the Palestinian Organization with its mass-murderer leader Araffat gave a lesson to the Arabs of the region -not a very good one .
So it was downhill ever since . Israeli Prime minister Ariel Sharon surprised both his opponents as well as supporters ,because he was a politician who had supported the settlements ,and had been famous for his actions of construction in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. In 2003 he came up with this crazy plan of deporting all Jewish villagers , destroying their homes ,and the most horrid of all taking their dead out of their graves -thus making Gaza Yuden-rein - "clean of Jews" (as the Germans put it in World War 2) , sorry for the allusion to the holocaust . In August 2005 this plan became a reality . I had a gut feeling it was a bad plan . I couldn't explain it . A house destroyed can always be built somewhere else ,but that wasn't the issue .The issue was concurring with the Arab mindset : The more violent you are - the more you get ,and at the same time telling the world that Israel is a goofy state with goofy borders and that Jews are in no way attached to their land .
It is 10 years later now . As had been foreseen, terror only became stronger . And this means more dead/ injured people (on both sides by the way ) .we , here in Israel had 3 wars that are linked to that stupid operation . so where is the positive side of this entry you ask?
Here it comes : You see , the people of Gush Katif (=the Gaza strip) were on one hand ordinary people ,but then -they were not . They kept the flame , i.e the vision of Jews living in the land of Israel , in some sort of correspondence with the land and the Almighty. While the process of giving in to terror and Arab demands , becoming smaller and smaller is still happening in Israel - something is finally happening in the hearts . People understand that this is not a land-conflict . It is also comprised of soul-conflict . The youth of the settlers is a different youth/ These young people don't care much for pubs or idols or grass . They want to sattle Israel ,which will lead to world peace ,as strange as it sounds. I pray for them . They are no longer out there somewhere in the Gaza strip. They are all over Israel . The government spread them . We are taking about 10,000 people - I believe that little by little the change is made .
