The Disengagement Three Years Later

Today's 3:00 PM Israel National Radio reports that three years after the disengagement from Gaza and several Norther Samaria communities that 50% of the people affected are still unemployed and that more than one-third of the people polled describe their situation as "bad" or "very bad". Also, more than half of the people expelled say that their health has deteriorated since the expulsion.

The good news is that the Arabs to whom the land was given have improved the green houses and other commercial aspects of the areas with world renowned Moslem technologies. </sarcasm>

The sad truth is that these areas are now used to launch rocket attacks on S'derot and Ashkelon and that the Israeli government officials responsible for the expulsion have not been held accountable -- with the possible exception of Ariel Sharon who initiated the plan and spent his political clout to make it happen -- for the damage that they have imposed upon the Jews who lived in these areas for more than a generation.
