    We would have acted against deportation of Gush Katif to Philippines

    Against the backdrop of this week's anniversary of the eviction of Jews from Gaza, former Peace Now leader Yariv Oppenheimer drew a parallel on Tuesday with Monday evening's deportation of an illegal worker to the Philippines.

    Writing on Twitter, Oppenheimer said, "In Gush Katif, nobody was deported from the state. They moved [them] from an area outside Israel to within Israeli borders. If Gush Katif people had been deported to the Philippines, we would have stopped the planes with our bodies."
