Jews Pull Out of Gaza!

I was scanning the headlines and came across this story and I was just floored. Why are the Israelis being forced to leave? As I read the story and looked at the picture something struck me as odd, here are Israelis being rounded up by other Israelis while Arabs demonstrate outside the towns. Outside the town of Neve Dekalim, as Israelis were being dragged from their homes that they'd had lived in maybe all of their lives, a crowd of Palestinians walked around with signs and flags. Aren't they even decent enough to wait until the Israelis leave?!!!! Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon pleaded with his people not to attack or blame the police forces or military but to blame him...they sure have a right to! In 2000 as US President Bill Clinton mediated at peace talks between Yasser Arafat and then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak Sharon criticized (and rightly so) as Barak offered Arafat around 90% of the Gaza Strip. Then Sharon turns around and hands it over without so much as blinking an eye. Actually this example of the peace talks in 2000 should tells us something: Palestinians don't want statehood; they want Israel wiped off the face of the earth. And a note to all you who also feel like that: It ain't going to happen, the Arabs tried to defeat Israel in 1967 with odds of 10 to 1 and Israel kicked their butts. God has promised to always pull through for the Jews and He will keep His promise no matter what.
