Dear Mr. Foxman,

As a resident to Gush Katif, I would like to comment on your letter.

Imagine waking up one morning and being told that your home, farm, job, synagogue, children’s school neighbors, community center are to disappear.

No explanation is given.

Then you are threatened, intimidated,and called a spoiled citizen because you object.

Your prime minister fires and hires cabinet ministers,bribes the opposition to vote for this policy and Israeli media jump on the bandwagon to oust you.

The people of the country are in despair, soldiers cry, and Jews throughout the world call and write you about how heartbroken they are. Gentiles weep for us.

And we, simple ordinary Jews are required to plead and beg for the most simple thing a Jew asks for: A home.

A home that I can live in, where my mezuza will not be ripped out of its doorpost and my shul will not be desecrated.

Have you, personally come to speak to the people of Gush Katif?

Where are you?

The ADL – when people are sick with hopelessness.

We are the Jews that ADL are to defend.

Why aren’t you here by our side?

Come here and see just what the Israeli government, our government is doing to beautiful, hardworking people.

I am to be evicted in a few weeks ARE YOU?

Sincerely

Rachel Saperstein
