Eve Harow hosts a special panel on the 10th anniversary of the withdrawal from Gaza, with Ari Abramowitz, Pinchas Orbach and Yishai Fleischer.
For Eve, the passage of a decade since she witnessed the expulsion of Jews from — and the end of Jewish life in — Gush Katif has barely dulled the grief, pain and sense of betrayal. She is joined in-studio by VOI show hosts Ari Abramowitz and Yishai Fleisher and CTO Pinchas Orbach to discuss the “orange” campaign, which took place throughout the year leading up to and during the evacuation. She, Ari, Yishai and Pinchas were all in and around Gaza during that turbulent summer of 2005. What could have been done differently? Where was Israeli democracy? Can faith help the healing? Did our leaders, both lay and religious, fail us? Should soldiers have refused orders? Have lessons been learned? A timely discussion for Tisha B’Av, which commemorates disasters that befell the Jewish people — although, says Eve, unlike disengagement, usually not by our own hands. listen now
