Israeli troops have began handing out eviction notices  to Israeli citizens living in the Gaza Strip.  Many of these settlers were born - and have lived their entire lives - in this coastal territory, won as spoils of the 1967 Six Day War.  This area is locally known as the Gush Katif land, and for its size (very tiny) is one of Israel's most productive areas.  Of Israel’s total exports, Gush Katif provides: 95% of bug-free lettuce and greens, 70% of organic vegetables, and 60% of cherry tomatoes.

The following link displays a detailed map of the Gaza area as of 1999, and as of August 2005.  Gush Katif is part of the Promised Land that the God of Abraham - the one God of Christian and Jew alike - gave to His chosen people (the Jews).  His Word also says that any nation that is a friend of Israel will prosper, and that woe will befall all who do not support her.

A ubiquitous orange T-shirt symbolises the settlers' struggle against eviction from the Gush Katif land after nearly four decades of residency.  A new Orange Revolution has begun.

Sadly, it is very doubtful if it will be as peaceful as the first.  Israeli authorities are even now preparing animal cages in which to restrain and transport those citizens who will not go willingly.  Shooting them may come later as many settlers plan to resist or even defy the Israeli government's SWAT Team tactics of forceful relocation.

Here is a first-person narrative by a frightened Gush Katif resident who believes that all the [non-Islamic] world should Weep for the critical plight of his beleaguered compatriots.

Say... how long before the same Wolf is knocking at your door???
