Tel-Chai Nation

A writer named Avraham Shusteris discusses the traitorous Ariel Sharon's "disengagement" from Gaza, uprooting thousands of Jewish residents in the process, and how Meir Kahane seemed to guess what was wrong with a man who turned out to be a most repellent monster:

I recently came across an excerpt from an article in the Jewish Press, dated October 1, 1982 written by Rabbi Meir Kahane at the time of the First Lebanon War. In this article, written 23 years before the Gaza disengagement, Kahane writes words that must have seemed extreme and bizarre at the time, but in retrospect are prophetic:

"Arik Sharon, the latest darling of the donkey-nationalists wrote an article that appeared in the Op-ed page of the New York Times, August 29. In it he wrote:

"No army in the history of modern warfare ever took such pains to prevent civilian casualties as did the Israeli Defense Forces. Indeed, most of the losses we suffered…. resulted from the rule we imposed on ourselves to avoid harming noncombatants. In Hebrew we call this tohar haneshek- the moral conduct of war. We are proud...despite the heavy costs we incurred in warning civilians we were coming…'

"The man who writes these words- if they are true- is not a donkey. He is a shedder of Jewish blood. He is a man who either through sincere belief in this terrible gentile un-Jewish doctrine or through fear of the gentile, sealed the needles death of tens of innocent Jewish boys. Let those who rush to dinners for him at the chic glatt kosher nightclubs or those who through him vicariously live their "tough Jewish" life, remember this. He is a man who is a great general but who knows little and cares less about Jewish concepts and discipline tomorrow he is capable of he most incredible and dangerous turnabouts. And that time the donkeys will bray. How could he have deceived us so? And then they will find themselves another hero."

The :"disengagement" - read "expulsion of Jews"- from Gaza was certainly an incredible and dangerous turnabout for Sharon which many, including myself, were shocked and unprepared for. We thought that there must be some smart, secret, calculated reason why the staunch supporter of the settlement movement decided to uproot 9,000 Jews from their homes in Gaza and the northern 'West Bank'.

We were wrong. These 18 years have proved that we were wrong in our faith in Sharon. The brave soldiers and innocent civilians killed in several wars and rocket attacks proved that we were wrong. The generation of children traumatized by rocket sirens proved that we were wrong. The broken promises to the families of Gaza evacuees proved that we were wrong. The greenhouses turned to terror bases proved that we were wrong. The continued American persistence to implement "two-state solution" Gaza becoming a giant terror base, proved that we were wrong.

Now Kahane was no saint, and there were some surprisingly stupid things he did in his time, but could it be he recognized a huge chip on Sharon's shoulder that few others did? It's possible. And in the years since his horrific deed, many Israelis, both civilian and military, paid a heavy price.
