Literally pulled out...


Chalo chalo...bahar niklo....Move out...don't bother, if you don't want to walk, we will carry you....Seven-eight security personnel softly carrying out settlers one by one as the evicted settlers hurl choicest abuses at them... Naked security men being taken out as the settlers through acid and what not on them....Every-one except the soldiers had a ball - analysts, terrorists, news-readers, gay-men, etc... because it all made such good TV....

Now you can argue that I missed the human tragedy behind the whole eviction...But the Israeli settlers had no right to be there in the first place.. And they didn't even have to walk- being comfortably carried around...They got shown on TV.. Got a chance to hurl abuses at security guards without the threat of any revenge...And probably also the sympathy of millions....

Any ideas for our tenants, employees, politicians, bureaucrats, relatives who don't wish to leave...
