Israeli Territory Pull Outs

[Insidious Rex]

What are peoples thoughts on whats going on in Israel right now with the settlements being evacuated and given back to the Palestinians? I think it’s the right thing to do although I can sympathize with those who have been told to leave their homes that they’ve known in some cases for decades. But the cost of protecting a small number of settlers on the outskirts of a land surrounded by literally millions of Palestinians is becoming too high and a gesture of peace like this by a hard liner like Sheron during a time of a (hopefully) more centrist shift in Palestinian politics with the recent election of Abas seems on all sides to be the best choice to make. What do others here feel about it? I particularly post this here because we have some Israeli board members and would like their perspective on this. Ive heard plenty from us loud mouth Americans on it.
