It has been 5 years since the uprooting, expulsion and destruction of Gush Katif.

There seems to be a glitch on the radar screen of major mass media news coverage concerning the former Gush Katif residents' plight and current situation. In order to remedy this I have finally discovered Facebook and am finding it an amazing vehicle to connect with people worldwide.

The "Gush Katif - historical fiction novel” Facebook page is now up and running with the aim to increase public awareness by providing a more personal look at former Gush Katif residents via select youtube videos and pertinent news articles. This Facebook page will also provide a forum to engage in relevant discussion, announce Gush Katif events, and encourage organizing Gush Katif Od Chai awareness events.

What was it like living in Gush Katif before the summer of 2005 is featured on this Facebook page via youtube videos of the historically accurate, fictional novel “Grains Of Sand The Fall Of Neve Dekalim” by Shifra Shomron (Mazo Publishers).

What has life been like since the summer of 2005 for Gush Katifers is seen on this Facebook page through select news articles and youtube videos. These videos allow people to go behind the major media news coverage and get a more intimate look and better understanding of the issues still being grappled with 5 years later. I encourage you to leave a comment on the Facebook page after watching a video.

Let your voice be heard on the page's Discussion section. Let’s engage! The first Discussion topic: your thoughts about 5 years later.

Please join and share this new Facebook page with interested others.
