A commenter dropped by to express his disgust with me for posting this article. I’m a Euro-Snot who should keep my nose out of things that are beyond my ability to comprehend.
In his view I should be dripping sympathy for these settlers:
Most settlers were angry for their removal from spacious Gaza homes to a treeless trailer park on a sandy hillside in southern Israel, but many chose not to defy the government.
“We brought everything with us,” said Elkayam, who arrived on Monday from the religious farm settlement of Netzer Hazani.
“But this is not a real house. We will stay for two years and then the state will give us land and we will build a home.”
Uprooted settler families receive compensation of $150,000 to $400,000.
The survivors of Katrina should be so blessed by their own Congress.
Update: I’ve added a button to the sidebar that links to Gush-Shalom’s flash presentation of the segregation wall made by someone who goes by “snotnose”. The wall’s path vividly demonstrates that Israel is no partner in peace. If this horrific land grab were to occur within a state’s borders here in the U.S. there’d be a bloody revolution.
