Care to show me where it was their land?
Most people over there (most in Israel) agree that this land should be given back. The MAJORITY support this. There are a few people on both sides that are causing all of the problems.

Not even CLOSE to true.

Is Deporting Jews Acceptable When Israel Does It?

In the State of Israel, which is so often touted as "the only democracy in the Middle East", PM Sharon won the last elections by a landslide. It was a one-issue race, and the issue was giving Gaza to the Palestinians. This election was the only chance the Israeli electorate has had to express its will concerning this plan, and the overwhelming majority of the citizenry said: "No".
Not only does the Prime Minister have no mandate for such an unprecedented move against his own people, but he has a solid mandate *against* it. And when his own party, the Likud, demanded a referendum, Sharon, confident in polls which predicted a large margin of victory for him, agreed. More than this; he agreed to accept the results of the referendum as binding.
When the Likud referendum went overwhelmingly against Sharon's plans, he reneged on his public agreement to accept the results. After effectively disenfranchising the Israeli public as a whole, he had also disenfranchised his own party.

You didn't answer my question.
LOL, you have no clue. The VERY REASON that Arik did NOT take this vote to the public is that he KNEW the majority was against this plan. Yes there are many who are in favor of it, but the majority? No way.
