Since the announcement that evacuation of Gaza is definitely taking place, a few events have occurred.
For one thing, there have been more bombs fired on the Western Negev. Sderot, the town that has suffered a number of rocket blasts has been back on the receiving line.
Last evening, the explosion was very loud as I sat here in my kibbutz house, and we're located too far from Sderot to hear what's going on there.
I'm not sure where the rocket landed, the papers won't give out that much detail to the attackers, but no casualties were reported so chances are that it landed in fields very close to us.
Another event is the Gush Katifnikim trying to rally support for not leaving. Are they insane? They should have left years ago, way before the country voted them to get out. They've been in the middle of a quagmire for so many years, intentionally sticking their thorn-selves into the sides of people who want their land returned.
So driving home from Be'er Sheva, we passed a group of religious kids trying to convince drivers to tie an orange crepe paper streamer on their radio antennae to show solidarity.
Unbelievable! Don't they get it? The fool's paradise is long over. We must get out of there and fast, before Israel finds itself encumbered any longer by the facts of this ludicrous geographical blunder.
I can't believe it, people. Sorry I can't provide pictures right now, but I'll search.
