The Death of an Israeli Settlement
Different Settlement • Same Message

The first image in this series is of Israeli settlers performing morning prayers
in front of their synagogue in the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday Aug. 18,
2005. The signs read in Hebrew “Kfar Darom will not fall again” and “For the Lord will not abandon His people or
abandon His land.” Some of those Israeli patriots to whom the liberal press disparagingly refers to as
“hard-liners” have barricaded themselves behind loops of barbed wire. At dawn that morning, thousands of reluctant
IDF troops under orders from a misguided government marched into Kfar Darom to remove those settlers. By
mid-morning, the forces began carrying away protesters in shacks and tents at the edges of the settlement. It is
to the government of Israel’s great shame that the valiant Israel Defense Forces, the bravest and most efficient
fighting force on earth, are being forced to “disengage” their own people from the land that G-d gave to Avraham,
Yitzhak, Ya`akov, and their descendants forever. The last few images are the tragic — but inevitable — result of
that “disengagement.”

Oh, Adonai! “Remember Avraham, Yitz'chak and Isra'el, Your servants, to whom
You swore by Your very Self. You promised them, ‘I will make your descendants as many
as the stars in the sky; and I will give all this land I have spoken about to your descendants; and
they will possess it forever.’”
