yishai, you were wrong. completely and totally wrong. you claimed for months that disengagement wouldn't happen. that the people wouldnt let it happen, it was NEVER going to happen that jews give up gaza. well, where are you now? your credibility is gone. nothing you ever say again matters. you were wrong, everyone else was right. haha, loser.

Shame on them for ethnically cleansing Jews. This is completely unforgivable. Until now, the IDF- MY IDF, in which I proudly served as a combat soldier and a combat reservist, behaved with dignity and responsiblity. Now those bunch of lunatics just tainted OUR entire army. Shame on them!

What land doesn't belong to them? Since when was there an "owner" who "owned" Gaza? Who "owned" the sand dunes that the settlers built on? Since when were Palestinianis (oh, those poor palestinians...) a nation to begin with? Perhaps the United States should return all of its land to the indians? The arab world collectively waged war upon Israel in 1967, and with the help of the Almighty alone we triumphed - we have every right to conquer, annex, occupy, and build all those lands. Besides, all those parts of Eretz Yisroel are clearly Jewish lands from time immemorial.

the ease at which the army is having removing these settlements gives hope for the peace camp. removal of larger illegal settlements like ariel and maele adinium and around hebron will not be difficult and can give the leaders the faith that it is not impossible.

Lots of the Jews who were ethnically cleansed from Gaza will come to Judea and Samaria. We will welcome them with open arms. Of course, as is, our communities are so full that we don't have enough housing to meet the demand. This means that we'll be building LOTS of new neighborhoods. And your friends in Hamasistan will die of hunger. Have a nice day.

Jews throwing acid on Jews? I thought only Doctor Mengele did things like that. Yes, there is something to be ashamed of: EXTREMISM of any religion. Incidentally, I believe it was Dennis Ross who said the Palestinians offered to allow the Settlers to stay on their land as Palestinian citizens (which has been my position), but Israel rejected the offer.

Gary, the worst thing that happens in the U.S.? Have you heard of Enron? Have your heard of the Hi-Tech Bubble? Thousands of people got screwed out of all their savings. I repeat, they lost everything. And many more will get screwed when the Housing Bubble eventually bursts. Who is going to foot the bill? Israeli tax payers? Yeah, right. Unlike those Jewish settlers, American people will be on their own. In case of the settlers, they knew it was a high risk venture to begin with. They gambled anb they lost. They were lured by free housing and tax breaks but you get what you pay for. Tough luck, what can I say. But we all know damn well, that the U.S. tax payers will foot the bill again. Last I heard an estimated re-settling cost is about $200K per settler. So the settlers will not lose anything. Incovenience? Sure. But hardly a reason for violence. Tell this to the victims of financial pyramids in the U.S. They know how to bite the bullet. As for the settlers, if you ask me, bring them to U.S. and make them work hard and contribute to the U.S. economy not the other way around.

I see a lot of shameful things, but none having to do with the IDF. I see Jews pouring acid on other Jews. I see Jews cynically using the memories of our past in order to psychologically abuse Israeli soldiers and other Jews. And all for what? For land? Is a patch of land worth these attacks on other Jews?

I don't agree with any harmful substance being used against anyone. However, the true DISGRACE is seeing jews against jews. Reminder, that action destroyed the 2nd Temple.

Shame on you! What about the people who left early and have still not received their compensation. You obviously don't know anyone affected by this outrageous affair.

From the mother of three combat soldiers (we're not religious or settlers)I find it both offensive and appalling that Jews would have to evict Jews from the land the God gave them. Let me know if you ever visited the Gush Katif or even know anyone personally that's life has been completely turned upside down.

Friends Today is a day that will forever be emblazoned in my memory. All of us no matter where we are from will have days like this, creases in history. Events that change our lives, and mold or character. For me days like September 11th, the day our world trade centers were attacked. For me it is the day we attacked Iraq in Dessert Storm in the 90's, I was still very young but understood the momentous occasion. Today the newspaper read "Israel enforces Gaza exodus," and I cried. I cried out to the lord and asked why, why lord? Gaza is the land promised to Israel by God. It is so sad for me to see a promise of God lost. I promise you my heart breaks now as I see news reports, and crying troops enforcing this evacuation of Gaza. I am very, very sad. My prayers and tears are with all of Israel. Today will never leave my mind, or my heart. Daniel Harrison Clovis, Ca USA p.s. I am very ashamed that the United States government has been urging the Israeli leadership to do this, shame.

you look to me another arabian terrorist bastard

Is, I wholeheartedly agree with you! It is nothing like goyim against goyim! It is truly a disgrace.

Hey people do you understand what you writing here? War, buying land etc. This is all the past you have to think practically and be able to make some compromise. You behave like the whole world is fighting against your country, but u not making anything to calm the situation down.

The residents of Gush Katif said that God would send a miracle. What does the fact that there was no miracle mean, for Judaism?

Your generalizations are indicative of your ignorance on this subject. First, you are grouping the "settlers" with the religoius. Just because people are defending their right to continue to live in the territories, doesn't necessarily mean they are "ultra-Orthodox", a term I am sure you enjoy floating around. Many of them are, perhaps, but one does not necessarily equal the other. Secondly, "purity of blood"? You, as well as any other Gentile, are welcome to become one of us. You would simply have to acquire a religious lifestyle, study for a year or two, and once deemed sincere and ready to embark on a truly Jewish life - which is a beautiful and fulfilling life - by the Beit Din, you too could become Jewish. Your blood is not a requirement to being Jewish. I welcome your comments.

It would be more simple to translate automatically from your french by using Google tools. Will write it in french to be well understood... Utillise les outils linguistiques disponibles sur la page www.google.fr Et on te comprendra un peu mieux que dans un anglais approximatif. Don't listen to insulting messages. You seem to be a nice person. Amicalement, Yoel.

unleashed. Frustrated. Stifled, they are striking back. They need to integrated back into Israel. If you marginalize they them, their anger will fester and explode again and again. Sharon must go now to his ranch for retirement for everyone's good. Give him amnesty. Who cares. Just end the state violence

against the arabs, so many forces they only find to get the Jews.

SHame on YOU! you the one who live in the states, and you has got the nerve to tell us we shouldn't pull out...?!?!? who the hell do you think you are? you are a disgrace! have you ever lost a friend on a battlefield? have you ever lost a hand? a foot? it's easy for you to sit in front of your 42" plasma TV and say it's bad for Israel to pull out of Gaza... first live a few years in there, then we'll see what do you have to say to us... Absurd, how you guys live in your fancy homes in the states, giving your remarks to Israel, without even being there... "the land belong to Israel..." well maybe it was like that 2000 years ago, but nowdays, i don't want to live my life among 2,000,000 arabs. Do you????

i am sure that if you were being evicted by the govt from your home so that they could give it to terrorists who had murdered friends and relatives of yours, you would just leave quietly on your own. it is not abusing your children to show them that evil like this must not be allowed to be perpetrated with impunity. sharon is the one who has abused our wonderful security forces by inflicting this heinous mission upon them. there is no doubt that many of them who have been forced to carry this out will be scarred for life by the horror of what they have done.

Let your true colors come shining through Yesha, let them come shining through. What a pathetic attempt to resist the evacuation, they continue to hurt their cause and by doing so, ultimately help Israel.
