It seems to me that all Sharon has succeeded in doing is emboldening the terror organizations. They are claiming a major victory and are promising that they will continue the "armed resistance".
Abbas and the PA aren't saying a word about this, which indicates his tacit support. Terrorism is going to continue and probably increase.
It goes without saying that there is a deafening silence coming from the EU and our own government about this eviction/ evacuation/ disengagement.
I just don't see an upside to this.
Not saying a word? Seems to me he is singing in harmony with those who say it's the beginning of the end.
The other day I heard a news blurb on FOX. It seems UN funds earmarked for humanitarian (I think) causes were helping fund a Palestinian group whose stated goals are to get Israel out of Gaza and the the Middle East (paraphrased)
I missed to scheduled news conference & heard no more about it
Today is a sad day. We were listening on XM. I explained the situation to my 24 year old (including how Israel came by that land) and he got it.
I'm glad I was in the car. The audio was heartbreaking, the video would have been too much to bear.
