Israel leaves Gazaa
Imagine that a thief steals your neighbor's car. The police catch the thief and he agrees to return the car, but only if he is paid compensation for his "loss". Imagine that the police agree. And imagine that the police demand that YOU foot the bill to pay the thief to return the stolen car to your neighbor.
Because that is EXACTLY what is happening in Gaza. Israeli settlers grabbed land which did not belong to them. They stole it. Even the government of Israel admits that. Now, as part of the disengagement, the settlers have to give the land back to the Palestinians (although the homes they built will be destroyed to prevent the Palestinians from gaining any benefit from them). The US Government has agreed to compensate the land thieves for their "loss", and is spending YOUR money to do it, at a time when our schools are underfunded, our roads crumble, our economy in decline
