Just say you're sorry
By Nadav Shragai

Now, after the war and just before the election whirlwind sucks in our
politicians once again, it would be appropriate for many of them to go
out of their way and visit the mobile-home sites where those uprooted
from Gush Katif live. This way they can tell them one small thing: I'm
sorry.
Tzipi Livni, Ehud Olmert, Shaul Mofaz and Benjamin Netanyahu, the
Israel Defense Forces and the police should do this - they, their
agents and everyone else who initiated, implemented and aided in using
force to uproot 10,000 people from their homes in Gush Katif and
Northern Samaria, maliciously and without any real purpose. Everyone
who saw some good in the evil of the disengagement and evil in the
good of Gush Katif has turned light into darkness and darkness into
light. At the very least, they are obligated to make this small
apology.
This includes the judges of the High Court of Justice who did not even
bother to visit Gush Katif and made due with defense experts acting on
behalf of the state "because that is the postion of the court since it
was founded." The justices who ruled as they did because they
automatically assumed that such a plan "improves the security
situation" because "the evacuation reduces the desire of the
Palestinians to harm the Israeli population." It would be appropriate
for the honorable justices to take a vacation day as an act of
forgiveness and go down south for a close-up look at the results of
their decisions.
This also includes the media, which provided a challenge for Ariel
Sharon and allowed him to turn a prosperous agricultural land, a world
full of communities, synagogues, yeshivas and magnificent educational
institutions into piles of rubble. Also the heads of the IDF and Shin
Bet security service who never spoke in public what they whispered in
the backrooms, and the soldiers and policemen who dragged the pioneers
of Kfar Darom and Neveh Dekalim from their houses while raining blows
on the demonstrators who understood what would come.
The apology must also include everyone who painted those who warned
that the rockets from Gaza would reach Sderot, Ashdod and Be'er Sheva
as delusional and opponents of peace. Everyone who promised that they
would "give it to them" after the first Qassam, but in the end cried
about the moral and international constraints that prevented them from
doing so, and for years abandoned the south. It must include those who
took the name of democracy in vain and aided Sharon in deceiving Likud
members and breaking his promises to honor Likud's decisions once it
became clear to Sharon that the party's members did not agree with
him.
You, too, who paid almost no attention to the hundreds of thousands
who tried to stop the evil, who paid no attention to those who
internalized the lessons of Oslo and warned that we should not give
them land and guns again. You who paid no attention to those who
warned of the Hamastan state, foresaw exactly the trajectories of the
rockets, and understood that this was something we gave away for free,
a further disintegration of our power of deterrence and an adrenaline
shot for terror.
Now rise and ask for forgiveness from those who paid the highest
price, with their bodies, souls and property for your close-
mindedness, arrogance and wickedness. Ask for forgiveness from the
Gush Katif expellees, the noble souls who did not steal land from
anyone, who made the empty dunes bloom as ambassadors of the State of
Israel and who turned into the south's security buffer and absorbed
over 6,000 Qassams and mortar shells with their bodies and belongings
in the last years of Gush Katif.
Ask for forgiveness from those who swore to "win with love" - who
believed and sowed until the very last minute; from those who did not
raise a hand against the soldiers. Apologize to those who continued to
enlist in the IDF and pay the ultimate price even after they were
expelled from their houses, because they understood that the state -
the national homeland of the Jewish people, even within limited
borders - is still bigger than any mistaken and confused government.
There is no way to know if they will forgive you, but you at least
need to ask.

 Northern Samaria, maliciously and without any real purpose.
Non condivido assolutamente.
Evacuare Gaza ha avuto uno scopo.
Oggi c'è più chiarezza e anche più sicurezza di quando Gaza era occupata.
Vero invece che tutta la politica degli insediamente, e non da oggi, tra 
spinte a stabilirsi altrove ed evacuazioni è schizofrenica e, se fossi 
un colono, sarei decisamente incazzato di essere stato preso per il culo 
in questo modo.

 Non condivido
nemmeno io. Ma mi sono un po' rotto le palle di chi continua a
considerare Haaretz come l'appendice degli editoriali di Gideon Leve o
delle corrispondenza di Amira Hass. Haaretz ha anche Sharagi tra i
suoi editorialisti di punta.
