| Nearly 1,600 Gaza Settlers Willing to Move |
| 2005-05-27 |
| Nearly all Gaza Strip settlers have agreed to move to Israel as a group following this summer's withdrawal, a spokesman said yesterday, signaling the collapse of what was once wall-to-wall resistance to the government's plan to evacuate the coastal area. |

| #3 not saying there arent some who will fight (many who DONT live in Gaza, if your 30000 number is right. But it does seem like plenty of the actual Gaza settlers will do the pragmatic thing and take the deal. If im going to give credit to moderate muslims, shouldnt i give credit to pragmatic Israeli settlers, esp ones who were expected to be rather less pragmatic? |

| #2 LH My daughter (who generally supports the Sharon disengagement plan) was in Kush Gatif for Yom Haaztmut. She says there were about 30,000 other people there for the day. She was impressed by a synagogue built by teenagers with wood that was 'smuggled' into the settlement. |
