David Strom:
No, the problem is not that evacuating the Palestinians from Gaza is cruel or unfair--although arguably, it is the latter. It's that the Palestinians have proven to be political and social poison wherever they settle. Ask the Jordanians. Ask the Lebanese. Wherever large numbers of Palestinian "refugees" settle, chaos and death follow.
Where Palestinians go, wars follow. And I am not referring to Israelis fighting Palestinians--that is a given because Palestinians are committed to killing Israelis until the state no longer exists. No matter where Palestinians settle--in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Europe, or the United States--they are trouble for the ruling regime.
