IDF To Clear Moral High Ground Of Leftists Claiming It Under False Pretenses

“We’re preparing for anything,” intoned a grim Lt. General Gadi Eizenkot, the IDF Chief of Staff.

Tel Aviv, December 8 – As IDF units undergo training to prepare for an anticipated forced evacuation of the Amona settlement outpost, a separate group is conducting similar exercises in advance of an operation to remove left-wing journalists, politicians, and cultural figures from an area of moral high ground to which they have laid false claim.

The High Court gave the State a deadline of December 25 to complete the evacuation of 40 families from a neighborhood of Amona, which is an extension of the Ofra community. The Court held that the properties on which those families live belong to Palestinians, based on documentation unknown to the current residents at the time they took possession. Legislative and other efforts at compromise have failed, in part because the families have refused any arrangement that removes them, even temporarily, from their homes. The IDF is preparing for multiple scenarios, including possible violent resistance from Amona residents and their supporters. At the same time, a similar but less legally urgent operation is in its early stages to clear moral high ground of hundreds of leftists whose only claim to the location involves fraudulent or otherwise inadmissible claims to the territory.

“We’re preparing for anything,” intoned a grim Lt. General Gadi Eizenkot, the IDF Chief of Staff. “We call upon the families and supporters of the people in both locations to cooperate with the soldiers whose mission is to uphold the law.”

Analysts say the timing of both operations to be more or less simultaneous is intentional. “It will take the wind out of the sails of partisans on either side who might otherwise admonish their ideological opponents to respect the rule of law and cooperate with the authorities,” explained commentator Arthur Facepalm. “Although in general, the Left seems to have less of a problem ignoring the rule of law when they deem it to be immoral. So we’ll have to see how this plays out.”

The moral high ground in question involves a sudden concern for the welfare and security of the greater society in light of the Amona case that was not in evidence during other episodes such as the influx of undocumented migrant workers from Africa who have all but taken over certain neighborhoods of South Tel Aviv. The location also features a disdain for such provincial notions as peoplehood, loyalty, Jewish tradition, and any thought that one’s family, community, or society might have the right to defend itself even if such defense risks harm to the attacker.
