I remember arguing with a liberal Israeli Jew once, before they uprooted the Gaza strip called Kush Katif, that surrender that land will definitely not solve the problem of daily Kassam rocket fire. He said to me, "Are you kidding. Once we give them this territory, and THEN then dare shoot one, just one, more rocket into Israel, they'll never see the light of the next day." I told him that the weak knees of the past will remain just as weak and nothing will have changed for the better.<br /><br />Even today, when he dares broach the topic, he realizes how wrong he was. These poor folk in Sderot suffer from administrative apathy. They actually care more for their political longevity than they do for the children of Sderot, or for that matter, for any suffering Israeli.<br /><br />Sderot citizenry, the "settlers" of Yehuda and Shomron, those in the Golan Heights, they all need our support. We empathize with them. If they stand firm, and we do our part, we'll finally enjoy to keep what is ours, take back what is ours, and change the face of Israeli politics for the better.in the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.com
