| #5 I get the impression that the pullback was not intended to "promote a peaceful end," but make their territory more defensible during the inevitable battles to come. |

| #4 Once the Israelis are out of Gaza, they are no longer an 'occupying power', which changes the rules. Not for Israel, they don't. Lebanon is a prime example -- they pulled back to the UN-declared lines, and the terrs decided that wasn't quite enough. |

| #2 Once the Israelis are out of Gaza, they are no longer an 'occupying power', which changes the rules. Should the Paleos start launching things over the fence, the Israelis will launch heavy attacks. |

| #1 I guess I'm just not seeing how this will promote a peaceful end. I don't see the Palies giving up anything, and they certainly haven't had any control over the extreme groups still killing Israeli's. I think they secretly applaud it. I feel bad that putting their country in higher state of danger to satisfy the UN and others is a bad choice. |
