Southern Resident: We Are STILL Waiting for an Answer!

Tamar Yonah hosts the most popular English speaking radio talk-show in...

PM Binyamin Netanyahu has a lot on his mind and a lot to juggle. The Iranian Nuclear Threat, Missiles on the South, Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria (to demolish or not?), the 'Social Justice' protests in Tel Aviv, etc. etc. etc. Many would agree that the biggest threat against Israel is its total annihilation if Iran were to successfully launch weapons of mass destruction against the entire State of Israel. Does the Prime Minister think that he needs the International Community on his side to take care of the Iranian threat? Is he afraid of an 'escalation' in the south if he takes care of the terrorists in Gaza 'once and for all'? Is he afraid if he opens up a real war front on the Gaza strip that (besides the Hamas) Hezbollah and other enemies of Israel will jump in and escalate it to a wider major Middle Eastern war? And if so, is this why he comes out with statements that he must [only] return security to Israel (meaning the status quo?) as opposed to, "We will destroy the enemy completely and thus its threat against our citizens in Israel, once and for all" ?

I don't have to add anything to this open letter to the Prime Minister of Israel, sent to me from Miriam Goodman, a resident of southern Israel.

Shalom Mr. Netanyahu, Shavua Tov

My name is Miriam Goodman and my family and I live in Ma’agalim, 10

kms from Gaza. We, who live in the South are always under the threat

of a barrage of missile being fired at us from Gaza.

Would you or anyone in The Prime Minister’s Office, please explain

why I have not received as much as an acknowledgement that the two

letters I sent to you on March 11,2012 and April 17, 2012 via this link

have been received. http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMOEng

I am so fed up with the in action of you and your government.

I feel that the government considers the residents of the South

second class citizens and not worthy of immediate attention. Forget

the cease fire, it is just a ploy. Send the IDF in to clean up Gaza.

Enough already! School is out in a couple of days and our children and

grandchildren won’t be able to play outside, have fun in an outdoor

pool or behave like normal children on vacation. They have to be

always on alert for a siren.

Our children and elderly are suffering. It is time for you to end our

nightmare….

I am sending you a copy of my April 17th and original letter dated

March 11th.

Sincerely yours

Miriam Goodman (see Miriam's Blog HERE)

Shalom Mr. Netanyahu

On March 11/ 2012 via this link http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMOEng I sent

you a letter regarding the rocket attacks in the South. My family and I

live in the Negev and have been on the receiving end of grad missiles

for years.

As of today, I have not received as much as an acknowledgement that

you received my letter. I understand that you are a very busy man but

I sure you have a secretary that answers your mail. I would hate to

think that you have chosen to ignore e-mail that comes from citizens

of the South.

Just in case you did not receive my original letter I am resending it to

you.

Shalom Mr. Netanyahu

I am writing to you as a resident of the south, my family lives in

Ma’agalim. We, the residents are being held hostage by the kassamim

and grad missile barrage that is presently being carried out by the

Palestinian terrorists who live in Gaza.

As a tax paying Israeli citizen, Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to know

what you and your government are doing to put a stop to this terror

for once and for all.

We have had enough lip service from you…time for real action. We

have the best army in the world. Our chayalim and chayalot are very

dedicated young men and women. Time to show the arabs what

dedicated chayalim who love our country can do.

Know one likes or wants war but sometimes this is the only answer.

To the Palestinians, dialogue is considered as weakness, they only

understand brute force.

You must order Barak to give the order to the IDF to clean up Gaza

and not leave until the job is totally finished. If Barak refuses to send

in the troops, fire him! You are the prime minister and not him. The

buck stops at your desk.

Let me tell you what it is like to live in the south…we are always

waiting for the other shoe to drop…. seven of my grandchildren, also

live in Ma’agalim have known so much terror in their young lives.

I couldn’t care less what Obama, Clinton, the U.N. or any other world

leader has to say and you shouldn’t either. It is your job to keep us

safe. The pals don’t want peace, you know that…they want every piece

of Israel with all of us floating in the sea. Time to standup and show

them who is boss.

Trusting you will do the right thing and clean up Gaza.

Sincerely yours

Miriam Goodman
