Our Views Amona: Erasing the
Shame of Gush Katif Amona:
Erasing the Shame of Gush Katif When thousands are driven from their homes and thrown away like a worn-out rag and the entire response is chapters of Psalms and sermons by weeping rabbis in the synagogues of Gush Katif, the human face of the victims is wiped out. As I write these lines, I almost feel the need to add "justifiably." Of course, it is not justifiable that Israel forgot the homeless of Gush Katif. But what we must understand is that Israel relates to them as a public that has lost its honor. In my estimation, many, many people in the settlements and in all parts of Israel can thank the courageous youth of Amona for the ground on which they will continue to live -- to live and not to die. They have returned a human face to the Orange public and they have begun to restore the balance of intimidation to the settlements. Furthermore, they have given the State of Israel the chance to survive the all out collapse to which an un-elected scoundrel is leading us all -- on their backs. But even if I am wrong, and the destruction continues full steam ahead, what happened in Amona is a defining event. It is now clear that besides the Christian love for evil, we have managed to instill in our youth a few true values: True love and responsibility for the Nation of Israel. Uncompromising dedication to the Torah and Land of Israel. Modesty, sincerity, courage, perseverance and hope. In Gush Katif and Northern Shomron our youth learned that the ideology of the rabbis of the "love that triumphs" does not fit in with reality. They may not yet know how to verbalize the healthy ideology, but as in every historical watershed event, the exact written ideology is formulated on the heels of the events. It does not create them. According to the IDF Chief of Staff, this youth makes up approximately half the infantry forces in the standing army. In other words, this youth is the cannon fodder upon which the upside down Oslo pyramid rests. Since the Left created the Palestinian nation and armed them with Israeli weapons, it is this youth that is paying the price. The percentage of Orange graves in the military cemeteries is far higher than their percentage in the general population. The Oslo-ites created the monster and simultaneously forced upon the IDF Christian values of war that favor the lives of the enemy over the lives of our sons. The Orange cannon fodder makes it possible for the Left to implement the process of destruction. The left gorges the monster on our Land, our money and our homes and then hides from it behind the blood of our soldiers. All they while they blame us for the entire tragedy and in the end use our sons to drive their own parents out of their homes. Will the courageous youth of Amona, their parents and teachers understand that to continue the battle we must break the vicious cycle? Will they understand that breaking our blind dedication to the State must inevitably lead to our strongest playing card -- the fact that this country exists on our backs??? Will the brave youth of Amona understand that the true danger to the existence of the State is inside? Will they understand that if they want to achieve leadership and save Israel from the approaching horrors they must let Israel try to rely for a year or two -- not on them, but on the draft dodgers of the Left?
