My Operasouvenirs: glory days?

remember when….Is reality that the peace agreement with Egypt is an on-going fraud, “cold” peace or not. Some in Israel claim that it died before it was born and the semblance of peace is an illusion foisted on the Israeli public by Neville Chamberlain style appeasement politics. After all, it was Sadat that used the Muslim Brotherhood to silence the progressives, the liberals and the Nasser residue in Egypt. The recent events in the Sinai would seem to give credence to the marginalized voices…
—”According to the information we have, Begin was very regretful for what he did. His withdrawal from society at 1 Tzemach Street was due the Yamit episode, not because of the war in Lebanon, as the left says. —Avi Farchan
(see link at end)…”Camp David was the model which led to Oslo and later the expulsion from Gush Katif. Begin opened the door for serious and painful withdrawal. Camp David caused the nation to weaken. Since then there are no more values that bind us together; this frightens me a lot. Read More:http://www.sos-israel.com/50429.html
(see link at end)…”For those who do not remember, after being expelled from Yamit, I walked by foot to Yerushalayim, carrying a sign reading: “Today Yamit, Tomorrow Yerushalayim”. People looked at me as if I was crazy. Today, even those who still try to lie to themselves know the truth. ”
When you went to build Eli – Sinai in northern Gaza, after being deported from Yamit, were you not worried that 23 years later, Ariel Sharon will drive you out?
—Begin explained to Sasson that when Sharon began evacuating one of the settlements, the residents returned at night and infiltrated into their homes. They were reevacuated and this occurred repeatedly. Begin was convinced that the settlers would sneak back into their homes even after the Israel Defense Forces withdrew from the area and, therefore, bloody clashes could evolve between the Egyptians and the settlers. Sasson told Begin that razing Yamit would be a serious disappointment for the Egyptian leadership, especially Mubarak, whose aides had prepared buses and a list of Egyptians who were to go to Yamit and move into the settlers’ homes.—Read More:http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/features/menachem-begin-s-choice-1.123802
“I traveled to Yerushalayim on the eve of Memorial Day, 5742, after the expulsion from Yamit. I was going to set up a refugee camp near the Erez checkpoint. Sharon came to me and asked me: ′Why a refugee camp? Let′s establish a settlement. Thus was born the Eli Sinai settlement, I created it and gave it my soul, and I was also involved in establishing Nissanit and Dugit, and indeed the same Sharon who called me to build drove me from my home once again. I could not believe that it would happen. …
…”What should I tell you, that once again I was right? As a former Operations Officer in Sinai, know all the Sinai as the palm of my hand and am aware of what is happening. I say that you need to know that Egypt is an enemy and its army is training for war with Israel. Not against Sudan or Libya, but against us.
“Israel abandoned its oil in Sinai, the airports, huge deposits of iron and uranium. All the weapons flowing into Gaza – are all sponsored by the Egyptian intelligence that totally controls Sinai. Mubarak was one of the most harsh and cruel enemies of the people of Israel.
“Thanks to us Egypt has sophisticated modern weapons and a very strong army. Sinai has underground bunkers – against the agreement- bunkers that can accommodate entire divisions.” …
…”
have to understand: the Egyptian army continues to prepare for war against Israel to this day, and they will utilize the first opportunity available to do it. In general, they see the state of Israel as a settlement in the Middle East.”…Read More:http://www.sos-israel.com/50429.html Read story
