Israel Begins Withdrawal From Gaza: Troubling Images on TV

Forced (permanent) relocations of people cause more harm than good in the long run. The U.S. found this out generations ago; Israel is learning this lesson today. We're watching this Israeli disaster unfold live on international TV.

Israel is buying peace with the Arabs by withdrawing its soldiers and citizens from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank. To do so, it is using the Israeli Army and police to forcibly remove people from their homes and transport them in cages to other parts of Israel. IN CAGES. Are they out of their minds?

This was the best solution that the Israeli and Palestinian politicians could come up with?

This action will initiate more bloodshed instead of stopping it. It's among the dumbest things the Israeli government has ever agreed to.

Why couldn't there have been Jewish enclaves in a Palestinian state?
