Five Heartfelt Appeals
4.To the leaders of Yesha: Okay, guys. We got the message. It's not easy to uproot yourselves from your homes and property. But deep inside, isn't it possible that you knew from the start it wouldn't last forever? Now we've reached the point where forever is about to end. The trouble is that you've begun your last stand too early, and for the wrong cause. Gaza is not the Land of Israel. In fact, there is no Land of Israel. There's a State of Israel. It would have been smarter to save your energy for the final stage of the agreement, when the size of the settlement blocs becomes an issue. The moment you started with threats, violence and challenging the authority of the state, the game was up. You lost this battle before it ever began.
