Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News: Yamit: The Forgotten Expulsion (Judean Rose)

Candid interview with Isser Coopersmith about the evacuation of Yamit.

“Land for peace” was never going toward work, that was obvious to me my entire adult life. You can’t make peace, at all, ever, no matter what you do, with people who want to murder you. Israel should never given up an inch of land, and it’s a travesty that so many brave Jewish men and women, almost always religious, that did so much to secure the nation, and to make Jews safer, we’re treated appallingly by their own government.

They don’t exist. Jews have a more than 3,500 year history and the term “Palestinian” has been applied to Muslim Arabs (vs everyone in the region including Jews) exclusively since 1967. There is no moral equivalence and “Palestinians” are in no way the indigenous people of Israel. The left hates that fact because truth isn’t a left wing priority when facts stand in opposition to their narrative. you don’t like that because it isn’t “nice”? Too bad. It’s still true.
