It is very sad to reflect upon the deep and sudden concern of certain of our fellow countrymen with regards to the welfare and safety of our children.
It is hypocritical to suddenly worry about our children being injured in traffic accidents when the Israeli government plans to evict our children from their homes, schools, communities and drag them away from all that they know and love. In truth uprooting our children from their homes would be far more dangerous and damaging than a possible traffic accident.
The government intends to reward the murderers of our children, of our babies, and adults by uprooting thousands of loyal patriotic citizens for no valid reason. The government because of this horrific plan intends to build new and more sophisticated fences and barriers in the vain attempt to prevent the upscale in terror attacks that they know will follow if indeed this madness is implemented.
And these enlightened people are worried about our kids getting hit by a car?? These people are upset because they are stuck in traffic?? How will they feel when the missiles begin to hit their homes and neighborhoods? Or will they also silently allow themselves to be uprooted from their lives? This selective hypocritical concern today, when our young people out of deep concern for the future of our country, are even willing to go to prison in the name of non-violent civil protest is if nothing else sad.
As parents we try to teach our children traffic safety, respect for other peoples feelings and privacy. We - meaning not only the residents of Yesha, but indeed any Jewish Israeli parent who remembers who we are and where we come from. Any parent who believes in the deep connection we have with our Land and history believes in our right to fight to protect the future of our people in our Land.
Where were these same concerned people when our children were gunned down because of weapons given to terrorists to prevent terror? Where were they while the Arab children continued to learn to hate and murder us by the official propaganda taught in schools under the Palestinian Authority? Where are they while over 5,000 missiles hit Katif, and hundreds of more in the Negev? This is not dangerous?
Does anyone imagine that we prefer having to go out and demonstrate in an attempt to wake the public up? Does anyone imagine that we would prefer to stand out all hours of the night and be dragged sometimes very brutally by the police and soldiers and thrown into jail?
We are teaching our children the same lesson taught by our people throughout the ages, that we are mutually responsible for one another. We Jews will go, and have gone to the end of the earth to save our people. We will not sit quietly as if we were in the Diaspora pretend that this is not happening, and that if we close our blinds and ignore it then we will be safe.
We know that aside from the moral issue of this plan to uproot and turn our fellow Jews into refugees, even the Prime Minister expects a deterioration in the security situation if this diabolical plan is implemented.
We know our children; our youth are the ones who are ?muralim? - (crazy) to go and volunteer for the most dangerous combat units. We know that they, like us, believe in the motto that we as Israelis live by - ?after me?.
This mockery of concern portrayed by certain of our fellow Jews is pathetic and lacks honor. It is hypocritical to worry about our children in traffic and do nothing to prevent this undemocratic, dangerous plan from being implemented.
We shall continue to follow our consciences, to actively protest and to try and wake the public up before it is tragically too late, and these same concerned people find that traffic jams and being late for an appointment is nothing compared to what a future with no moral fiber, no security and a split nation would be.
