Jewish Settlers Face Eviction As Gaza Disengagement Draws Near
KFAR DAROM, GAZA STRIP - MAY 31: Israeli right-wing youth volunteers, who came to "strengthen" their fellow settlers in Gush Katif, take a moment to look at the memorial set at the site for two young children who were killed on a school bus attack two years ago in the Kfar Darom settlement May 31, 2005 in Gush Katif, Gaza Strip. With the pullout plan time table ticking, the 9,000 Jewish settlers of the Gaza strip are digging in for the struggle. Yet at the moment their biggest struggle is to simply keep life going. In this bizarre landscape fenced to separation by 30 years of ongoing conflict, two completely different worlds have been formed. It has been over 25 years since Israel uprooted a settlement built beyond its 1967 border. But it is Ariel Sharon, the man who built so many of these settlements, who now vows to leave the Gaza Strip within three months as part of his disengagement plan. The Israeli public has signed off on his approach, consistently pooling to have around the 70 percent support for the plan. The settlements in Gaza and their people are not deeply popular with the common Israeli, and are seen as a military liability, yet more than ever Israel is torn from the inside and fears of yet deepening civil war are quietly talked about.
