there is hope

My little sister (26 and available if you know anyone) told me a couple days ago that she was heading down south to the disengagement after disengaging from my parents who were here visiting. I called her yesterday late afternoon to find out if she was in jail yet.

She surprised me.

She was not only not in jail, she hadn't even tried to break into gush katif. She was in Nitzanit where a lot of the families were evacuated to. She went there to volunteer to help out. The idiots running the place said they didn't need any more volunteers and she should come back in 2 weeks when there might be something to do. Thankfully my sister has at least some degree of intelligence and went out to find people who needed help. She found a family that moved from a nice sized house in South Central Gaza to a tiny little caravilla that wouldn't hold most of their stuff. She and her friend helped wash the floor and straighten and then played with their kids for a while. They then went off in search of more people who might be able to use a little help.

This is the light of klal yisrael shining through. We take the drek and try to put a positive spin on it. Instead of being miserable and bitter that people are causelessly getting thrown out of their homes, doing something positive. You have to take a lousy situation and put a smile on it in order to survive, and that is what we're doing here.

I'm proud of my little sister. You can read her blog to get first hand accounts.

BTW, does anybody want to bitchslap Yossi Sarid? What kind of idiot says publicly, while people are being thrown out their homes, that he feels they should apologize to the arabs who terrorized t
