MK Yogev now says Negev residents are ‘pioneers’

MK Moti Yogev came under fire after saying to residents of the western Negev: “You supported the Disengagement – now you’re screwed.” Now his office issues a statement – emphasizing Yogev’s military rank of colonel – saying the residents of Gaza periphery communities are “real pioneers.”
Pulling out the big guns, MK Yogev’s office dug up a quote from one Adi Hamawi, a resident of Nirim who was present at the Knesset committee discussion where Yogev made the comments. Hamawi says “his [Yogev’s] meaning was not as it came out, he really does support us.”
