August 29, 200520 yr QUOTE(winodj @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) If you think pulling out of Gaza is appeasement, you haven't figured out what Israel is actually doing. That is true. Isreal is doing some pretty interesting things. Like really doubling up their efforts to beef up the West Bank - which is more strategic then Gaza ever thought of being in terms of defending Jerusalem. And some other things.

August 29, 200520 yr you have to somewhat admire their strategy...everyone claimed the wall was a bad idea like a berlin wall....(but it actually seemed to work), its a sick situation but it seems progress to keep themselves safe are actually being made.
August 29, 200520 yr The strategy is to give up Gaza, and take over West Bank full . They are hoping that free passage in Gaza will make more palestinians move from the West Bank where for non-Israelis travel from town to town a few miles over will take hours. In the mean time, they can expand larger settlements in West Bank and really grow actual Israel as part of an eventual compromise.
