I remember asking Rabbi Groner in Australia, “How is it that Ariel Sharon could be so heartless to literally expel people from their homes?” when he did the disastrous unilateral withdrawal from Gaza – and we see how stupid that was – but apart from that: Would you be able to literally send your army and tell people that they have to leave their homes, particularly if it was your government that told them to build them in the first place?? And he answered something which should make us all WAKE UP – “the challenge of power,” he said “is sensitivity,” and we have to ask ourselves “in which situation a. do I have power? b. do I apply sensitivity??
