Caroline Glick has an excellent article in today’s Jerusalem Post. As I always say, CG is the only redeeming factor of the JP.

She raises some interesting points.

It is through her that I learned that Emmanuel Morano was not just a senior officer and a hero of the IDF, but a hero for the Jewish people too (as is his family).

The Israeli media completely didn’t mention who Emanuel Morano really was or what he and his family were doing during the Expulsion last year.

Every night last August - until precisely 52 weeks before his death - he snuck into Gush Katif to bring food to his brother David and his family who were besieged along with the rest of the residents of Gush Katif by a force of some 50,000 IDF and police forces. These forces, who outnumbered the forces sent into Lebanon to fight Hizbullah a year later by 20,000, were under orders not to fight Israel's enemies, but to expel loyal, patriotic Israeli citizens from their homes and communities, destroy their homes and communities and abandon their land to Hamas and Fatah control.

This paragraph is so full of meaning. The dedication of one man to his brother, to their idealism, to what is right.

But it is the other point I want to discuss.

CG raises an important issue. The government raised an army of 50,000 soldiers to kick peaceful families out of their homes. And that was 20,000 soldiers more than they sent out to fight Hizbollah which managed to displace 1 million Israelis from their homes.

What sort of sick priorities does the Left and government have when they can waste so much resources (months of training, brand new equipment, splashy black stormtrooper uniforms with matching baseball caps, not to mention the 50,000 soldiers) on damaging us, while complaining that there aren’t enough resources for defending the country against external threats.

50,000 to kick Jews out of their homes. 30,000 to lose against Hizbollah.

It’s a matter of priorities – this government simply doesn’t have the right ones.

Olmert go home.
