A brief explanation of Israel's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip:

--snip-- Why is Israel withdrawing from Gaza?

In announcing the "Disengagement Plan" in December 2003, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said the withdrawal was to increase security of residents of Israel, relieve pressure on the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and reduce friction between Israelis and Palestinians

--snip-- How will the withdrawal affect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

The Israeli government expects the withdrawal will reduce Palestinian attacks on Jewish citizens.

I thought it would be interesting to remind everyone what happens when you try to appease people that have no intention of acting in good faith to solve a problem. Much like the traitors who call for comprehensive immigration reform but have no intention of following any law that is inconvenient to their greater goal of "fundamentally transforming america".

I imagine a day when the South West USA is like a third world country (like many Dem controlled cities) and people will be wondering what went wrong.

Agreed...the average American citizen does not have a clue of what is coming. By the time they figure it out...too late!
