A Gaza settler facing police
Things are heating up as the time draws near for the execution of the Disengagement Plan in Israel, that of deportioning 8,000 to 10,000 Jews from their homes and land in Gaza. Controls are being put in place, such as today when the Gaza Strip was closed to Israeli citizens who are not residents of the area, probably to keep sympathizers from moving in to add to the numbers of those resisting. Ultimately, if residents do not cooperate with the pull-out, plans for deploying 45,000 soliders for the operation are in place.
Imagine the effect on the soldiers who have to carry out orders to evacuate their fellow countrymen from their homes. Housing and Construction Minister Isaac Herzog believes the army will meet this challenge. This is unbelievable! Imagine for a moment if it were to happen in our country.
Just for the record: The Disengagement Plan is to take away more of the only 7% of the land the Israelis have left, as part of the 'Roadmap' - to create a Palestinian state. Prior to the Israelis winning the land in the 1967 war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, the West Bank belonged to Jordan, and 'Palestinian' did not exist. Arabs lived in Israel in peace with the Jews until Arafat, in partnership with the Arab world, decided to marshall the Arabs living there to 'take back their land', which was never their land.
This battle is not about establishing a Palestinian state, even though many 'Palestinians' believe and are willing to die for 'their land.' It's a front for the destruction of Israel.
