Seven years later anyone honest can see how erroneous their predictions were, and how foolhardy it would be to support more expulsions.<br />Thousands of people saw which way the wind would blow. A Gush Katif committee produced a CD, which I still have, that includes a segment filmed in Nisanit (I think. It was definitely one of the communities in the northern segment of the Gaza Strip.) with the power plant in Ashkelon in the background. As predicted, the power station became a target of the terrorists' missiles and has been hit many times. It is truly a miracle that no-one was injured in the attacks. That is only one example of the many warnings given before the Expulsion.<br />Shifra, we're still proud of you! Grains of Sand is a powerful reminder of, or introduction to, depending on who you are, Gush Katif.<br />Hadassa DeYoung, K'far DaromHadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339767115203725254.post-29262329518764577812012-07-29T14:27:50.474+03:002012-07-29T14:27:50.474+03:00Avi, I agree that some of the comments rubbed me t...Avi, I agree that some of the comments rubbed me the wrong way also, but they were the personal beliefs of those who spoke. And although in hindsight we know how foolish they were, at the time who knew which way the wind would blow?Sharon Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187707180795618521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339767115203725254.post-78330058343599487812012-07-29T14:26:21.343+03:002012-07-29T14:26:21.343+03:00Thanks so much for sending the Gush Katif film.

It was very special though I could have lived without being called "colonialists" and being criticized for being "messianics" who want a religious state. We should be praised for it...or it should have been edited out. <br />I will pass it around too.<br />Gush Katif is another in our long line of Jewish tragedies. Like many other G-d sent warnings we have as a nation failed to learn and assimilate the lessons.<br />It has only further distanced us from peace and redemption...a giant desecration of G-d's name.<br />May G-d have mercy on us His chosen people lost, leaderless despairing.Avinoreply@blogger.com
