There were some mitnahalim in Ghaza, putting the land to excellent use and benefiting everyone, including the Arabs. He should have annexed it and brought in more “settlers,” and made it into a model of modern, scientific agricultural prosperity. Instead, he forcibly removed Ghaza’s most productive residents, and left the Arabs there to the tender “mercies” of the PLO and later Hamas. Bulldoze it into the sea? Never. Bring back Gush Katif. It’s not too late.
Except it would be impossible to do if Palestinians were still there. Plus, never underestimate the self-imposed guilt trip of the Israelis. Far too many of them relish being hated and attacked to want to end the strife.
