Honestly one could blame Bush for this whole mess. I REALLY don't believe that they would have forced these people out had the United States not pressured it. Israel is asking the United States for 2 BILLION more dollars to help with moving these people. Each person is getting 100-300,000 dollars (and some are getting more than that) to relocate.
I don't understand the Bush policy at times when it comes to Israel. I guess we will see if this brings peace to the region. I really don't think these people are going to stop with just the Gaza. They do have the goal (some of them...not the majority) to take more than this.
Time will tell.
Do others believe that the Bush Administration had a lot to do with this? I voted for Bush by the way and support most of the war efforts.
Reading through the thread...I guess many do blame Bush and this administration. heh
I voted for Booosh. And now I oppose almost everything he is doing on almost every front including Iraq. But I'll never feel I wasted my vote keeping that goombah sKerry out of there. Some choice we had.
Blame Bush? So Bush is responsible for the Knesset passing the Pullout as Israeli law? Nice try. The Pullout is supported by the majority of Israeli's, the knesset and the IDF.
