Gaza

[georgit79]

Can someone explain to me the exact situation in Gaza, where Israeli troops are trying to evict Jewish settlers? Haven't been paying much attention and want to get my facts straight.

Thanks oh oasis of intelligence.

whenever people discuss the israeli /palestinian issue, it always gets bogged down in terms of black and white one side are the good guys the other the bad boys..if ever life was that simple...........but it never is, even if israel gets out of all the occupied territories it still wouldn't satisfy the arabs, particularly hamas.. who will continue their slaughter of innocent people, followed by the israeli army killing more innocents in return.. that having said it is right that these settlers mainly foreign jews are moved on...

Gum, I appeciate what you've said, and I agree with you about the hardliners, but what I said, was that the destruction of Israel is on the Palestinian mandate, thats the goverment, in Israel, it s ulta orthodox, and non goverment agencies. The destuction of Palestine is not an Israeli mandate,

The notion that the israelis created an oasis in the desert and that the palestinians want the land now that it is well presented will prevail. The plain truth is that the settlers have created beautiful, well laid out settlements. The houses are modern and a lot of love has been cherished on the land. There is no doubt that they are a hard working, resourceful people. You should also bear in mind that they were wealthy with access to a lot of funds from the govt to settle in those areas. Now perhaps if the palestinian authority had that kind of cash maybe even they could create such a beautiful place.

I read somewhere that an american group has purchased the green houses and other related industry from the settlers with a view to handing them over to palestinian people and prevent destruction by the leaving settlers. For the major part most settlers are leaving their homes intact. It is difficult to destroy something you loved. TV pictures of those doing cosmetic damage is just sensationalism. I now hope that the houses are handed over to those palestinians who hold the title deeds to the land and not to some cronies of those in power. The corruption prevalent in the palestinian authority is worrying.
