Anti-Disengagement Ideas

(thanks to my wife and Toby Willig)

Here are some ideas that can be used in combatting the planned expulsion of Jews from their homes in the Gaza District, as well the nothern Samarian communities.

1. The final scene from “Fiddler on the Roof”, the Jew trudgingly leaving of Anatevka, should be shown in movie houses as trailers, street corners and the public square. This is intended to instill in the consciousness of Israelis that we are talking about a repeat of some of our worst history in the Exile.


2. Gush Katif will be shut down, police say, in concentric circles.

So, why not prepare a base camp for demonstrators, say 50,000 in number, near Ashkelon and then one morning they all line up, 500 in a row across, and march towards Gaza.

If they are all disciplined, stand in ranks, and march forward as one, row after row, I think the police would have a very hard time stopping them without looking like the British police in India at the Dharasana Salt Depot in Gujarat (remember Attenborough’s film “Gandhi”?).

3. If, G-d forbid, the worse happens, several thousands of Gush Katif residents should band themselves together, declare their desire to remain in a camp near the area and refer to themselves as “Jewish refugees from Gaza”.

They then demand rights and recognition from the UN.

4. Isn’t Sharon violating the framework of Security Council Resolution 242 which makes it clear that only in the framework of a peace agreement will territory be handed over? It reads "termination of all claims or states of belligerency”.
