Jewish settlers leaving the Gaza strip?

[Formula1]

What do you guys think, is it the right thing?

[Rat Faced]

Its a start...

It's probably a finish too, can you imagine the fuss if they try to evacuate the West Bank?

l can't understand how they can justify shooting Palestinians for doing the same thing but not the settlers.

l think Israel will regret this move, they think it will lead to the Palestinians agreeing to them keeping what they have stolen in the West Bank, but the Palestinians will never agree to it.

l also don't believe they pulled out for purely peaceful purposes, as Hezbola has claimed, they were kicked out too, too many Israelis killed and impossible to police the place. The West Bank is a different thing, they have built a wall to protect them, and are abandoning the hardest ones to defend.

Exactly what I was going to say. But It IS THEIR LAND though isnt it?

it's probably a good move, the timing is certainly needed to ease tensions on both sides imho. time will tell.

Its already had one huge effect on the Diplomatic front of the Middle East..

Iran, which has never recognised Israels right to exist, has stated that when the withdrawal is complete it will support the 2 State solution.

This is a de-facto recognition of Israel's right as a country from one of the most Islamic of States... I suspect, however that they will wish the internationally recognised borders before formerly recognising Israel.

This will always be the stumbling block... Israel has no intention of giving back the entire West Bank, and the Golam Heights was annexed.

Syria however has stated for years it will forgo its claim on the heights if the rest of the occupied territories were returned. Until that time, it maintains its claim.

Where did you see that? l can find no such declaration, in fact, Syria was talking about an Israeli pull-out at this year's Arab Summit.

Here's an interesting read .. MEI Perspective.

Maybe the parents should have relieved them of such brutality by leaving.

The thing is..this will not appease Islamic extremists.

Or Jewish extremists.
