The Reaction Policy

By Rabbi Brad Rosen, B'nai Elim

Recently in the news we witnessed 69 soldiers attacked and wounded in yet another Kassam Rocket attack on Jewish land from Gaza. Ehud Olmert has a personal policy known as the Reaction Policy. Its not that we can ever go on the offense and reconquer Gaza or go in for massive incursions both air, water and ground, and its certainly not that we can ever wipe away the terror organizations in Gaza and Judea and Samaria for once and for all. There’s also a policy that the Government wants to prevent Jews from living on their own land in Hebron and the liberated territories. Olmert only decides to slightly react to any attack on Sderot or the Negev.

What have we come to? Oh, how we continue to retreat in the face of defeat. Unfortunately, Ehud Olmert is in power and unfortunately he stays in power and this is the trajedy. We let a leader like this make peace deals with our worst enemies , which hardly gives any peace to Israel and most certainly give the Palestinians a piece of our land, a piece of our security government, guns and soon that piece won’t be called Israel anymore, it will have another name Palestine.

The only way we can surely provide a safe haven for all time is if we promote and finalize the removal of the Arabs of Eretz Yisrael. This can surely be done in one simple step as we can compensate each Arab family one year’s worth of salary for every member over 18 years of age. The salary would be commensurate with the country of choice’s economy for their trade. Now, of course Israel will have to pay each country a particuliar wage for incurring new Arab immigrants. This will be a costly endeavor, yet it will be peaceful and it will be monitored by the Police and Army so nothing will go out of hand. There will be busses set up and airplanes if we choose to use them.

This certainly is not a new idea and I do not take credit for coming up with it. If we want to protect the only land we have, the one Jewish land amongst 22 countries we must do as the Torah tells us and throw our enemy forever out of our land. And just as the Tochacha says then we can have the land forever and it will be good and we can build it Bezrat Hashem for the true final part of the final redemption with the bringing of Moshiach and the building of the Beis Hamikdash.
