Surrendering Gaza

Excellent analysis on the proposed Gaza pre-emptive surrender by Reuven Koret of Jewsweek.

What will Israel get for expelling thousands of its citizens from their homes and handing those homes over to a terrorist-led regime?

It had better be a lot. To put the country through the spectacle of seeing soldiers breaking down doors, bulldozers crushing living room walls, bedrooms being shattered and emptied. To see security forces beating and dragging Jews from their homes.

Or to see the images of Palestinian terrorists, or whole Jew-hating families, moving in to these red-roofed houses and pleasant towns, shooting in the air, burning Israeli flags, declaring victory over the Zionist enemy. That's not even consider the long-term suffering and dislocation of the families, who may or may not be compensated for their expropriation.
