The IDF could not protect the settlers against the ever more violent million arabs.

Safer for the entire country to have everyone in a more safe location.

Rabin encouraged the people to settle there, as a buffer but it is no longer feasible.

Tragic consequences that could not be avoided.

Just my opinion.

On the contrary - the tragedy is that the evictions could and should have been avoided. It can only be concluded from the talking points of your post that you've been reading the MSM and not much else. You and others need to get the facts. The Palestinian Arabs were given 98.5% of the territory they asked for under Oslo, because Israel keeps its word. Israel does not control them; they already control themselves. They are systematically finding ways to take one chunk after another of Israel. The entire Arab media makes it crystal clear that there is no stopping point for them. All the Arabs were being asked to do under the Oslo Accords was stop the incitement to hate. That they did not do, so Israel acted like a fool in giving them land and got nothing in return. All of this disengagement was totally avoidable. A blunder of major proportions. Sharon's decision (quite likely really that of the U.S. State Dept and the EU who want it to look like it was Sharon's idea) puts the West at far greater danger for increased terrorism, not to mention the increased terrorism against the people of all Israel.

Gaza's terrorist training camps are being beefed up and all the top terrorist leaders are in the process of moving there even as the Jews are being evicted.

I'm between that opinion and the opinion that this move and the pattycake being played with Iran will ENSURE a nuclear confrontation in the Middle East in 5 to 10 years.

If I had a legitimate means of threatening the existence of Mecca and Medina and several others of Islams "holiest site" I might just throw out that ultimatum.
