We are at war. More threats exist. Russia and China are conducting joint military training, and Islamic terrorist plots know no limit to which countries will be attacked. Then there's the conflict in the Middle East, with the Jews being 'disengaged' (thrown out of) their homes and land in expulsion of Jews by their own government. Disgraceful!
Yesterday as V-J Day was being remembered, Israel commemorated Tisha B'Av a day of mourning the many tragedies that have befallen the Jewish people. Today another tragic chapter is written in their 'history book' as they begin to be deported from their own homes and land in Gaza. (Did I mention that the Jews only own 7% of the land in Israel, and now even some of that is being taken away from them?).
Lest we forget the ultimate purpose, here is what Arafat's successor said,
"Today, our march to freedom begins. Tomorrow, it will be Jenin's turn and after that Jerusalem. From here, our people begin the march towards establishing an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital" -Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Leader on Israeli Gaza pullout
8,000 - 9,000 Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip, and hundreds in the West Bank, will have to leave.
