These morons are still living in never-never land,m where facts and reality must never be allowed to enter.

Any fool can see the connection - and the gross error (if not crime) committed by Sharon. He lost his soul in his hardheaded pursuit of disengagement.

Israel leaving Gaza in 2005 was a HUGE MISTAKE!!! Because Israel left Gaza thousands of missiles, rockets, and other weapons and arms came through to Hamas at the Rafah Border between Egypt and Gaza. This gave Hamas the ability to defeat Fatah and take full control of Gaza. Hamas launched thousands of Rockets from the areas where Israelis where in Gaza and where Israelis are no retaking. Because Israel Left Gaza we have an Iranian terrorist wing (Hamas) firing on a million Israelis daily. . . but still people want to close their eyes to this. . . every inch we give the Arabs is a mistake because they use it as weakness and cause more death. Israel must defeat the Arabs on its territories period and win the WAR against them only then can peace happen.

...the evacuation of settlements in Gaza and complete disengagement by the Israeli military. While removing the settlements made sense, completely handing the territory over did not.

these people are nuts! before oslo and the withdrawal of our troops from gaza (not gush katif) in 2000, THERE WERE NO ROCKETS!

Like Sharon was when he made this idiotic decision.

Hey Weisglass, go away you schmuck.

These three are directly responsible for Hamas Gaza. Weisglass has absolute chutpah to peddle it as a success in these trying days. Livni was a part of the inner circle. her sins are not going unnoticed by the electorate who want her fat ass out of the cabinet.

A pragmatic question : why do we see soldiers walking into Gaza in the daytime ? Fields are all open and flat . Why arent the going in at night ?

What hogwash in 2005 Israel held no populated areas of Gaza except the Israeli settlements. Israel left the area and all that she got were Rockets. It was seen as a sign of weakness pure and simple. There is a direct connection. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com

we are not knee deep in Gaza. If, instead of beating the Jews in Gaza up an evicting them, he would have used that same power on the Arabs there, life would have been much different for us. Of course they claim that they are not at fault, they do not want to accept responsibility for their murderous stupidity, but the truth is clear, Sharon and his friends caused this mess. If he can not wake up to 'smell the coffee' at least his aides should admit their complicity, they wont end up in jail.

Check his autobiography called 'The Warrior'. In the end section (about page 560'ish) he mentioned that it would be a mistake to pull out of the region & accurately predicted the ensuing bombardement of Sderot & other local areas, in the event of such a pull-back. The question therefore is what induced him to change his mind? Perhaps, his involvement in a financial scandal might have made him vulnerable to external pressure. In any event, any Isareli who still seriously contemplates trading the central hill country of Israel that includes Beit El, Shilo etc., for a 'whiff' of peace, will truly endanger every left wing buddy from Tel Aviv to Haifa....beyond a shadow of doubt! Please G-d all Jews from the left & right can work together to make Israel the proud nation it can become. For the record, being a right wing Jewish settler doesn't make me an Arab hater. I just think that we should all be realistic about where our true enemies are, including overseas neo-nazis!

Giving away Eretz Yisrael will only cause war,Not peace !!!

Imagine Israel would have remained in Gaza and some left wing goverment had made a deal to trade all the occupied territories for peace? We would have Hamas missiles being fired from the Westbank. There would be all out war all from every direction. Sharon's decision was still the right one, painful as it may have been. Don't fool yourself thinking otherwise. Since Oslo in 1993 these wars were inevetible. Only question was how bad they would be.

were their minds from reality.

They're all brain-dead but the difference is that they're still walking around.

should stand trial for the gaza pullout. sharon just did this so the media would not go after his sons. Even if he is comatose,he should be tried. The terror following the gaza pullout was the fault of sharon and his advisers. Those that backed him in the knesset are equally as guilty along with the media.

I was totally against the expulsion and razing of Gush Katif and I see plenty connection even the dates and the fact that the one who carried it out is comatose. But I will take one positive from this whole horrid affair. Maybe Am Yisrael had to learn the implications first hand what it means with giving up territory to your sworn enemy. Remember theyre discussing ad nauseum about giving the scourge Judea and Samaria so after the Gush Katif episode I think most people will not agree with this and realise first hand after the lessons it learned that it must never be allowed. Perhaps Gush Katif was the price we had to pay to retain Judea and Samaria, I dont know but it sure changed things.

sharon did the disangagement to make nice with the left and keep himself and his two slimeball sons Kang and Kodos out of jail.

The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

What a shame those who supported withdrawing from Gaza are calling Gaza that cursed land. That is God's land that He bless the Jewish people with and your fore father Joshua and his people fought for that land to give to you. You suffer today because you refuse to take all the land God gave you and fear the world's opinion than have faith in God's protection on you. That is why you suffer from the enemy living in Gaza.

I say, shame on anyone who thinks a PLO state is G-d's will , much less give a inch of covenant land to the heathen

have shelled us with 11,000 missiles these past 3 years...never would have gottne landmines, mortars, anti tank weapons, smuggling tunnels, hundreds of milluions of dollars. Thanks to sharon and his apologists they got all the above and now one million plus Israelis can also thank them for living in fear of a missile exploding in their childrens bed. Yea very bright.

Let's be honest. Mr. Sharon sold out. He caved into immoral White House pressure, for whatever motive. Our young men are now paying the price for this egregious decision. George W. Bush would never have withdrawn from American land in order to aid the jihad against America, yet he pressured Sharon to retreat from Jewish land in order to appease the Muslim enemy. Sharon began telling us, "A Palestinian state is inevitable!" He warned us, "We will have to make painful concessions!" Mr. Sharon was once a war hero. It's a shame what became of this once fine military man. This retreat from Gaza was an astonishingly foolish decision. One never retreats from one's own land even in time of peace, much less in the face of a Jihadist onslaught. Shame on these men, these former aids. Shame on them for defending the indefensible.

Liar liar pants on fire! Lies...bald-faced lies. The disengagement is responsible for all of the destruction and death since 2005, and yitzchak rabin is responsible for it and more as he invited arafish and co. to return from Tunisia and then he armed them. What chutzpah to say there is no connection.

NO question that Sharon and ALL his collaborators to the expulsion bear grave responsibility for whatever ensues from the aftermath of their craven behavior. IF not for their mendacity, rockets wouldn't be reaching the biggest town in the south, soon to reach Dimona, heading all the way to Tel Aviv. For Weisglass and the rest to claim otherwise is to lie at an unprecedented level. Once our boys are home safely there will be time to place the Kadima gang on trial, including their 'advisors'!

Try someone even though he's been in a comma for three years? Whatever happened to a fair trial? You are a thick stupid attention seeker.

B"H - Dov Weisglass in responding to operation: 'Thanks to Sharon we left that cursed land forever." - ABY: You and your erev rav pals are cursed Dov, not any part of the Land of Israel! With Jews on that Land it was and will be blessed again, G-d willing.
