Anti-Disengagement Paraphernalia
Shameless and insensitive to be sure. Blame those silly Stern girls who were overheared simultaneously discussing plans for a friend’s engagement party and the woes of Israeli disengagement.

Was there disengagement? What disengagement is this, they’d rather have Gaza than the West Bank?!
Of course the anti-disengagement crowd are also anti-marriage (one state solution). Instead, they’d much rather the fiancé just left and moved in with the next-door neighbour, leaving them the whole house (transfer).
What disengagement is this? It’s about moving the settlers of Gaza. You can learn more about it on any number of news sites.
Was there disengagement? No — this is a criticism of Israeli policy (future), not a protest of Israeli actions (past).

D is proof that it’s possible to use language creatively without being obtuse, k&Y. S/he highlights the problem with the anti-disengagement movement — no good big-picture approach, and even a bad one.
Wow…
Some people are really inappropriate.
I saw the most inappropriate bus-shelter poster ad, too; it said in big letters Yuli zeh lo’ raq hitnatqut – “July is not just disengagement”. What else is July, you ask? Some kind of sale on study programs for the Psikhometri, the Israeli SAT.
😯
Steg, I *love* that ad. And the psichometries are more like APs than SATs anyway. The SAT is like bagrut.
8opus: moving illegal settlement from Gaza to a tighter hold on the West Bank is “disengagement” to you maybe because you’re not being occupied (but then that’s not occupation, as can be learnt at many sites). Besides the moral disavantages of tolerating Stalinist language, it leaves you “being creative” with such babble towers as “anti-disengagement.”
k&y there is no occupation – it is Jewish land always was.
first of all, the appropriateness of the term “occupation” has nothing to do with national birthright mythology (after all, the Germans really do have a tradition, and some reason to believe, that they originated on the Baltic coast of Poland). Nevertheless it is endlessly amusing that that’s not what your book says.
? I havent the foggiest idea of what you are saying.
I guess its good to be incomprehensible – this way no one can answer you.
I rely on no book. I rely on my forfathers who told me of my history.

…which evidently doesn’t include anything about Midian, Canaan or Amalek.
8opus: moving illegal settlement from Gaza to a tighter hold on the West Bank is “disengagement” to you…
Er, no; you’ve confused “moving illegal settlement from Gaza” for “a tighter hold on the West Bank”. One doesn’t require the other, you see.
…maybe because you’re not being occupied (but then that’s not occupation, as can be learnt at many sites).
Wait, there are sites about 8opus? Tell me more Jellyman!
“One doesn’t require the other, you see.”
No, they don’t require eachother, but that is what is happening. Many robbers knock over banks and stores without posting lookouts– it’s not “required,” and it’s also possible. In this case it is logical: there is nothing in Gaza (except for the truly ideology-mad), whereas the West Bank is worth it for Sharon’s posse.
*opus wrote: “…which evidently doesn’t include anything about Midian, Canaan or Amalek.”
It does include that. Read the first Rashi in the Torah:
“Why does the Torah start with the account of Creation?
1:1 – So that when the nations accuse us of stealing Eretz Canaan from the Canaanites, we can respond that Hashem, as Creator, has the right to give the land to whomever He sees fit, and He gave Eretz Canaan to us. ”
That answer was to counter the nations.
Apparently 8opus you are the nations…
oh, snap! the schmope just excojewdicated you!
or us. or something.
