"First They Came For..." Israeli Version

*I've retitled this.  It was formerly called: "YESHA Zeh Kahn, We're All YESHA, Consensus? What's That?"

There are lots of good Jews who decided not to live in places like my home town Shiloh, because they felt it was a bad investment.

"The world won't let you stay, build... etc"

So, they bought in places like Gush Etzion, Ganei Modiin, Maale Adumim and Jerusalem neighborhoods like Ramat Shlomo, etc.

"Knock knock,"
"Who's there?"
The building inspectors, freezers and destroyers in ...

Oops!


What happened to that "consensus" or "security" all those people said they had but I didn't.  It reminds me of:

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.


THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.


THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.


THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

I'd like to rewrite it, just a bit...

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Israeli Jews in the gevahot, mountain top communities, but I didn't speak up because I didn't live there.


THEN THEY CAME for the Israeli Jews in the yishuvim of Judea and Samaria, but I didn't speak up because I didn't live there.


THEN THEY CAME for the Israeli Jews in Elkana, Gush Etzion, Givat Zeev, Ganei Modiin and Maale Adumim, but I didn't speak up because I didn't live there.


THEN THEY CAME for the Israeli Jews in the Jerusalem neighborhoods liberated in the 1967 Six Days War, but I didn't speak up because I didn't live there.


THEN THEY CAME for me and by that time no one was left to speak up."
