Two Years

Psychologist say that it takes two years to "recover" from major losses. I remember when a friend was widowed, she said that she was told to wait two years before making any major changes or moves.

Now, two years after Disengagement, we're starting to see more protests.

Two years after law-abiding Israeli citizens were exiled from their homes, people are starting to wake-up. The new housing, that Ariel Sharon so confidently promised, never materialized. The well-manicured, instant "town" of Nitzan looks more and more the shanty town, refugee camp, it really is. The tiny prefabricated "cardboard" structures are falling apart and many people have been forced to add "rooms," since they can't fit their families in them.

The TV news has been showing the difficult conditions of the refugees and the protests of the farmers, who no longer have land, businesses nor jobs.

It was all so easily predictable. Check my archives from two years ago.
