MK (Bayit Yehudi) Zevulun Kalfa made an emotional address in Knesset on Tuesday, 24 Tammuz 5773, marking the eighth anniversary of the expulsion of Jews from Gaza. He was a resident of Atzmona and is counted among those who were expelled from their homes.
He explained “this is not an easy mission, to stand here at the podium from which the vote took place to oust my family and my friends in Gush Katif and the northern Shomron from their homes. But I address you with the same sense of responsibility towards my friends.”
He explains that he is certain that he entered Knesset as a representative of Gush Katif, those communities that were destroyed by a Government of Israel. He spoke of the over 200 decision that were passed in connection to the expulsion, making mention of one in particular; number 1976, passed on June 6, 2004. He quotes, “The program is intended to lead to improved economic, security, demographic and political realities.” Is this the case today, he questioned.
Kalfa continued to point out the failures of then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s plan. He calls on the people to look in the mirror and realize the land belongs to the Jewish People by right, as it has been from generation to generation. He added that so many davened for many years to merit returning to the land and Yerushalayim. He expressed confidence that he and his former neighbors will one day return to Gaza to rebuild their homes and communities.

It’s about time the so called settlers have representation in the Knesset. They are the liberators of Eretz Yisroel. Now we have to work for Achdut for all of The Jews and Kiruv for all of those that don’t understand why Israel belongs to The Children of Israel. We should start with the “peace now” organization and teach them what it is to be a JEW.
Mr. Kalfa is %100 right. Joining with Lapid and that other TRAITOR, Netanyahu, is the wrong way to go!
I can’t figure out what happened to the “State” of Israel! For the first 30 years of their existence, they were determined to exist, survive, & thrive, overcoming all obstacles despite what anyone in the World said! Then something happened and that all changed! They started apologising to the world for all their successes. They suddenly wanted to be loved by the whole world.(This is pretty much what Hussain Obama has been doing since he stole the White House!) They should of killed Arafat while he was on the run in Lebenon etc… Remember how the “experts” said: oh we can’t just eliminate the Baby Killer Arafat because who knows who will take his place?! Everyone was so terrified of who his replacement would be! Yeh, Abbas has Israelies staying up at night worried about that LOSER! Shamir, Sharon, Olmert, Bibi, Barack, etc propt up Arafat/Palesinians to the Jew hating world, gave them life, gave them land, gave them weapons to kill us, etc… Well, after destroying the once great state, does the NYT love you? CNN? UN? Obama? Clintons? Arab street?
YOU – the “Government” of Israel – are the laughing stock LOSERS of the World!
