The Machiavellian genius of Ariel Sharon foresaw all of this, which is why he is desperate to withdraw the Gaza Jews into a Fortress Israel.

I don't know whether this is in fact the case, but it actually makes sense.

Thanks for a great and very informative post. I heard that Arafart died of AIDS, but because homosexuality is considered a huge sin in the Arab world, this little fact will not be revealed unless the French include it on his death certificate.

I think the whole world underestimates the overall intelligence and planning of the citizens of Israel. I remember Golda Meier, a school teacher from Milwaukee who was a great leader for any country. The Mossad make the rest of Intelligence gathering agencies in the world look like amateurs.
Sharon was right in getting Gaza cleared and building the walls. The biggest bloodshed is yet to come, Arab against Arab. The land will be there to re-settle after they thin out the ranks of the hotheads.
