Eyewitness to hitnatkut from amona:
It was with a heavy and broken heart that I heard and watched what happened to my brothers and sisters in Amona on Wednesday, February 1, 2006. I could not believe what I was seeing, for the last time I saw anything like it was in the movies of pogroms in Russia and the Nazi storm troopers in Poland during World War II.
Maimun:
IMHO it is quite wrong to compare what happened in amona to anything the Nazis or pogroms did. People were shot at point blank range, thrown out of windows, in some cases women were abused and men mutilated. Israel is the only middle-eastern country in the world, where rioters esape with their lives.
I think we should looking for unity and not division or "civil wars". Instead energy should be spent trying to "return" lost "Jews" from around the world to Yesha. Incidentally, these lost "JEws" are from poor countries and would tend to be "tough" as hardship builds strength (as we learn from the torah parasha of the last week). Such a colonising army of hardship hardened lost "Jews", "returning" to their ancient homeland would make hamas and al-qaeda appear like the salvation army. And bring unity to Israel, IMHO, not division.
We're at war with Palistinian arabs, who understandably want the land they once had their homes in and more. We should think of ways of uniting to win the war and using the resources we presently have to do so. I'd say the "lost" Jews wishing to make "tshuvah" are the solution. Not a civil war which will only further weaken a community that has already been weakened through over pampering. we need a torah observant leader or leaders with a wide vision and with perfect "stoicism", to do what needs to be done.
