The Fourth Yahrzeit of Gush Katif

Although I was for the retreat from Gush Katif, and remain convinced that it was the right thing to do, it is heart-rending to watch such expressions of pure Emunah in the face of a modern-day Churban. At the same time, it is heartening to know that there are, even in these jaded times, truly idealistic young men and women.

    Yeah man, I still don't understand the reasoning for the Gaza pullout. "Mima nafshach": if the settlements in Gaza shouldn't be there then neither should those in Hebron, Judah and Samaria. That's a hard thing to say, especially if you don't see Bnei Brak as the only city in Israel that's worth existing..

    I believe far fewer Jews have been killed R"L this way than would have happened otherwise.

    The truth is that I am not sure about Yehuda and Shomron either, but the demographics and security in Gaza was very different.
