When I hear Gaza, I keep thinking Vietnam.
Not like an Israeli leftist who thinks that we are simply embroiling ourselves in an unwinnable war or their idiocy that we need yet even more negotiations, but because the Left and the establishment are embroiling us in a war they don’t want to win.
Israel has now returned to liberate the exact same Jewish towns that 1,500 Jews were expelled from just one year ago. Why? Because the reach of the Kassam missile has been extended. Because disengagement failed.
And that is exactly the problem. The Left and the Government want to hide behind imaginary walls rather than address the core issues. Kassams landing too close, just move them further away (up to a point at least).
Thousands of Jews were kicked out of their homes where before there had been nothing but empty sand dunes.
Thousands of Jews were kicked out of their homes to create an imaginary separation between us and them.
And now we are back, simply pushing forward to our old positions, without addressing the core problem.
And until we address it, the current Israeli solutions will continue to be imaginary walls that impede nothing.
The expulsion may have succeeded but disengagement clearly failed.
It’s time the Left opened their eyes and looked at some solutions coming from the other side of the spectrum.
