A post marking the 21st anniversary of Israel's 2005 disengagement from Gaza quoted journalist Nahum Barnea's 'Gaza first' and former defense minister Shaul Mofaz's 'bold move' characterization, while denouncing the initiative as a disaster brought by a 'bunch of morons.' The post concluded with a vow not to forget or forgive.
The post, circulated on a messaging platform, adds to the public discourse surrounding the 21st anniversary of the 2005 disengagement from the Gaza Strip, which saw the evacuation of Israeli communities including Gush Katif. The post quotes Barnea's well-known phrase 'Gaza first' — a reference to the withdrawal being a precursor to further steps — and Mofaz's characterization of the move as 'bold.' It then sharply criticizes the architects of the disengagement, calling them 'a bunch of morons' and declaring the expulsion a disaster. The post ends with a vow not to forget or forgive. The Zioneer previously covered the anniversary with a commentary warning of the dangers of the political left.
