Lifting Our Voices
Local singer-songwriter Sandy Cash expresses my own feelings on disengagement far better than I can myself.
I fear for my country. It’s not just the tragedy of “disengagement”—the recent adoption of a policy that calls for the total destruction of 25 Jewish communities. It's not even the fact that there’s no guarantee that this enormous sacrifice, far from having a positive effect on Israeli security, is expected to put more Israeli population centers within striking distance of Palestinian missiles.
No. What scares me is that this entire retreat process is being shoved down the country's throat without any real discussion.
She posted this article on her Israel Diary several days ago, and it is well worth a read. Especially now, unfortunately.
