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...

I don't understand why it was done this way. It seems like they could have just said, "You can stay if you want to, but if you're still here after August 18, you're living in Palestine."
It seems like an awful lot of today's problems go back to the British. They lopped off a corner of India and named it Pakistan, they lopped off a corner of Iraq and named it Kuwait, they lopped off half of Palestine and named it Israel. They seemed to think that drawing a line on a map could alter human behavior.
