We perceive that there is no excuse. The Palestinians will invent one. In fact, they have one ready to go as soon as the Gaza is theirs. They remind me of nothing so much as spoiled brat toddlers given to temper tantrum. The more the parents coddle, wheedle and accomodate them, the worse their tatrums get.
My only hope is that the Palis find that the Israelis have razed the area, leaving nothing standing. Once they occupy the Gaza, the next terror attack should bring death raining down on the whole area, and this should be made clear in advance as part of the bargain.
A good analogy. And if they're true to form, we'll be seeing a tantrum of epic proportions soon enough.

Even if the Israelis left everything in perfect condition the Palis would turn it to sh/t in short order.
As I understand all buildings are to be torn down. As a fitting conclusion to the mess of the last few days I would also suggest a generous application of salt spread upon the land.
