Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
I feel bad for anyone having to leave a home they built/ lived in....
What amazes me though is the US media coverage ( i shouldn't be surprised) but every story about the removal shows Palestinians jumping for joy and basically being unsympathetic, they ignore the fact that the Palestinians were kicked out of the homes AND that they are living in slumbs..
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Israel is trying to force a compromise. It's given up all settlements in the Gaza strip, but will use this as political leverage to justify keeping settlements in the West Bank.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
gaza strip is just that a tiny strip of land. the israeli squatters should hurry up and get lost from the rest of occupied palestine aswell!
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
i agree with maddy's point, and it is true this is one sided withdrawl and this will give israrel the upper hand in world affairs when it comes to witdrawl from other occupied land.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
they are leaving gaza only to claim more land in west bank.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
The land is not theirs. The homes are not theirs. They are visitors. Now they are leaving. They should go back to where they have their own land…i wonder where that is 
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
IMO, it is the Palestinians that will effectively shoot themselves in the foot on this issue as well. Israel gives up all its settlements in Gaza after years of saying that the settlements are necessary to provide security. With the withdrawal, we’ll see an increase of Palestinian suicide bombers enter Israel from the Gaza. Israel will say, “See, I told you so.” The Palestinian Authority will not be able to control the fanatics which will play into Israel’s hands. Israel will then have proof necessary to show why dismantling settlments in the West Bank will jeopardize its security. Ergo, Israel has the factural basis necessary to support West Bank settlements for decades to come.
If the Palestinians were smart, they’d do everything in their power to keep the fanatics out of Gaza. They’d prevent suicide bombers from entering Israel from the Gaza. Then, they could say to the world, “see, getting rid of the settlements leads to peace. It worked in the Gaza and it will work in the West Bank.”
Poor Palestinians will just be used and abused again by their own. They are their own worst enemies.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Yeah they stole their own land. They killed their own people and hey they attacked their own land and violate international laws every day. That isn't Israel of course.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
The same place it’s been 2500 years before the advent of Islam?
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
With all due respect MV, Israel needs to dismantle all **“ILLEGAL” **settlements icnlduing West Bank and East Jerusalem. Those are the cause of the killings and Israel’s defiance of international law makes it an outlaw in the international community. The sooner they get out of those areas, the better it will be for Israel and the whole world.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
It is also **ILLEGAL **to enter into other countries and target their civilian population with homicide bombers. The sooner Palestinians realize that, the better it will be for them and the whole world. If as MV predicts these homicide bombers enter from Gaza and the PA can't stop them, then Israel will has the factual basis necessary to support West Bank settlements for decades to come and to re-occupy Gaza.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Please…let’s not get into another discussion about whether the settlements are legal or illegal. That topic has been addressed in a whole bunch of other threads.
The reality is as I have said it is. Israel’s outward/external justification for settlements is their security and the inability (lack of desire?) of the Palestinians to prevent terrorist strikes inside Israel. Now an event is occuring that will either prove or disprove the outward/external justification Israel has advanced. The Palestinians have been presented a great opportunity to demonstrate that settlements are not necessary for Israel’s security. They’re going to screw things up in a heartback.
I can see Sharon talking to his closest advisors in deep privacy already. He is smiling. He’s telling them that Israel will never need to withdraw settlements from the West Bank because of what the Palestinians will do from Gaza after the settlements there are dismantled. And, after the blood is spilled in the streets of Israel from the coming wave of Gaza bombers, the rest of the world will sadly nod in agreement that Israel was right all along.
Sharon will come out of this looking like the wounded man of peace who took a gamble on the Palestinian people and became the victim. And that will serve his agenda of West Bank settlements.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
I fail to understand how settlements improve security for those inside Palestine.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
If i remember my history correctly Israel was a land the jews **migrated to. They are originally from Egypt after Hazart Moses parted the Red Sea. So a land that had people before that. Your ethnic palestinians.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
I don’t know your definition of “inside Palestine.” However, if you want to see how settlements in Gaza improve security inside Israel , just watch events on the ground for the next 6 months.
If Israeli deaths from suicide bombers from Gaza are (less than or equal to) the number of deaths from suicide bombers before settlements were dismantled, then settlements don’t improve security.
If deaths from suicide bombers from Gaza are (greater than) the number of deaths from suicide bombers before settlements were dismantled, then settlements do improve security.
The PA would be ever so smart to make sure that all bombers from this day forward get into Israel from the West Bank rather than Gaza. However, time and again in this conflict, the Palestinians choose exactly the wrong thing to do at critical times. I don’t think we should expect different this time.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Haan, Jewish religious justification for expulsion, ethnic cleansing, invasion, occupation and mass murder. Whose the fundemenatlist huh?
I hope you Anglo’s will show the Native American’s the same courtesy, and get out of America so that they can once again reclaim the country that they have also lived in for more than 2500 years. Go back to England, Ireland, Italy or wherever your forebears came from before they took over America from the Natives.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Yeah, whitey will leave America as soon as Muslims vacate Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land.
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
We have a Koranic claim to that land, you do not to America. 
Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Actually they have a claim to genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
