Entretanto, em Gaza 2

Curiosamente, em 13 de Agosto de 2005 o Boston Globe defendia uma opinião diametralmente oposta quanto à retirada de Israel:
"SOME ISRAELIS protesting the planned pullout from Gaza settlements are using scare tactics that are too common in the Mideast. ''A Jew-free Gaza welcomes Al Qaeda," shouted one banner at a massive rally in Tel Aviv on Thursday. Even some political leaders who should know better are fanning the flames. But to argue, as Benjamin Netanyahu did in resigning from the Cabinet, that disengagement from Gaza would create ''a giant base for terrorism" is to argue that there should never be a two-state solution to the conflict. Denying Palestinians a homeland has been counterproductive for both peoples. Denying them even the hope of a homeland would be a road map to war everlasting. Another protest frequently voiced by the Israeli right is that the withdrawal, scheduled to begin on Wednesday, only rewards Palestinian militants for the second intifadah -- five years of attacks and other violent resistance to Israeli control. But this stance is backward-looking and self-defeating. It encourages Palestinian hard-liners to make the mirroring argument: that any moves toward a lasting peace by Palestinian leaders only reward Israel for its occupation. Taken together, these positions are also a prescription for eternal strife." LER
