Why Israeli Communities Should Be in Gaza
by Moshe Dann
Unilateral withdrawal from Gaza is only the beginning of a much wider and extensive retreat from Yehuda and Shomron (Judea and Samaria), which will result in the establishment of a terrorist-based provisional Palestinian state. Even with the best intentions, this will strengthen and encourage terrorist groups in the region and throughout the world. It will make it more difficult (if not impossible, once they gain international recognition and support) to stop the smuggling of weapons and troops to Palestinians. Unilateral withdrawal will create a safe haven for terrorists wherever they are.
Unilateral withdrawal will promote more instability and violence. Egypt has refused to prevent weapons smuggling from its territory and will not fight Palestinian terrorists in Gaza; Jordan can barely maintain security in its own country without taking on Palestinian terrorists. The result will be chaos.
Unilateral withdrawal undermines every compromise solution that might resolve conflicts, and turns power over to the very same people who operate terrorist groups in the area; it offers no incentive for ending the struggle. MORE
