Friends,
I haven't been writing much, because I am truly heartbroken by what is happening to Israel. It is so overwhelming, that I am temporarily at a loss for words. So much is happening, so fast, and in all the wrong directions.
While our Leftist friends on papers like Haaretz take aerial photos to "expose" the terrible crime of Jews building on their land and release this news to the international news networks, the new Palestinian leadership, which has yet to prove it is any different from the old Palestinian leadership, is being handed Palestinian cities by the IDF on a silver platter.
Places like Jericho are already in their hands. And what will happen to the cities they turn over? I have zero doubt that they will become bomb factories once again, and that our sons will again have to risk their lives to go in and destroy them.
There is an old Peter, Paul and Mary song which goes:" Some men will rob you with a shotgun, and some with a fountain pen." Our government is in the throes of yet another wrong-headed attempt to appease world opinion by sacrificing national security, uprooting Jews from their homes, and entering into negotiations with sworn enemies.
Talk about Hamas turning into a "political organization" makes me sick. The Nazi Party was also a "political organization." I urge you to read my book The Covenant if you want a true picture of who the Hamas is and what they represent.
I have lost my faith in politicians, what little I ever had. One exception is MK Effie Eitam, who is moving with his family into Gush Katif. What guts! I believe in God, and in good people, and those two working with each other to foil the terrible plans that are being laid that will destroy this country.
My son goes into the army in two weeks. I am not sending him there to tear Jewish infants from their cribs so that Hamas can build more rockets on the ruins of peaceful Jewish homes and businesses.
But who can say what will happen to our precious armed forces with the present administration rushing forward into another abyss?
