1. To the Ha-Ha Bras from Facebook
Israeli 2   (06.06.14)
You are very ugly couple in every sense of the word. You should cover your bras over the entire Neturei Karta community.
2. Israeli self-created human tragedy...crime against humanity
Sharon Ariel   (06.06.14)
3. keep this in our face every day to remind everyone
Martin SA   (06.06.14)
keep this in our face every day to remind everryone. Look at the pain!!! Dignity not upheld. Reminder to well meaning supporters and anti-semites Including US the EU and UN. We cannot afford to repeat this injustice and not take responsibility. A warning to politicians. Annexation as planned is a solution.
4. Sharon suffered 8 years as well as every minister involved
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.06.14)
for this stupidity and for the crime against his brethren that was akin to the Jewish expulsion in 1492 in Spain. But this foolish government is still talking about another expulsion. Haven't they learned anything?
5. Emotional cripples
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (06.06.14)
The basic reality is everyone that left Gaza received a nice financial nest egg, that they could have used to start new lives fairly easily anywhere on earth. Instead they chose to whine about things that they had no control over. Was it fair? maybe not, but that is just the way the world is and the SMART people just accept the REALITY and use their resources to get on with life. Given how Israel and the rest of the world have progressed since israelis left Gaza, there is not really any excuse for those that are still unhappy. The people that have not succeeded have let their unrealistic emotions cripple them.
6. The heartbreak and suffering caused by this eviction of so
m r ,   israel   (06.06.14)
many was worthless. The arabs destroyed all that was left standing (hothouses etc.) and we gained nothing ! Can you imagine the anguish these people suffered - forcefully evacuated from their lovely homes by their own army of young soldiers
7. some clarifications
expellee ,   Nitzan, Israel   (06.06.14)
It was no "nest egg" - it was reimbursement (below replacement costs) for the homes and employment that the Israeli govt. destroyed. Most of the families I know received significantly lower amounts of compensation mentioned. A large percentage of the expellled adult population was 45- 60 years old at the time with no marketable job skills (they were farmers) and now face devastating age discrimination - well known in Israel. In short - the Israeli government has yet to make good on what they "stole".
8. #4 suffered?
(06.06.14)
The only people who suffered where the people of Gush Katif, Sderot, Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beer Sheva. Did Livni, Olmert, Hanegbi and Peretz suffer? As for Sharon, as long as he was in coma, his crooked sons made a great deal of money from his pensions, so is that suffering? The only justice is that history will remember these people in a very negative way.
9. #7 and don't forget
(06.06.14)
Olmert did everything he could to torpedo any assistance to the refugees.
