Doing to the Golan what was done to the Gaza Strip

I think that Israeli Lefties have to be the most optimistic and delusional people I have ever witnessed. Take for example, the Gaza Disengagement. They cheered, supported and rallied around former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's “land for peace” formula of evicting 9,000 Israelis from their homes and businesses in the Gaza Strip - all in the “hope” that some of the most radicalized Palestinian terrorist in the world, would suddenly settle down and live spontaneously hardcore peaceful lives tending the greenhouses of the Gaza Strip.

Never mind the cost to the Israeli agricultural industry or the hit the Israeli economy had to absorb from the loss of the agricultural industry from the Gaza Strip. Believe it or not the alleged savings from security were to significantly offset those losses.

Never mind that a year after the disengagement from the Gaza Strip the Israeli government has had to shell out more for security then they paid out before the IDF & settlers left the Gaza Strip. And if you are a resident of the Israeli town Sderot, the best you can do is pray that your family, home, business, or school does not get Qassamed because the government seems to be utterly impotent in face of those flying rockets.

Any way, my point being is that the disengagement from Gaza Strip was a disaster, and not just for the roughly 9,000 Jews who have yet to have permanent homes or jobs, but for the country as a whole. But here’s a Leftie, who thinks the ‘land for peace’ solution was such a good idea, that now is the time to do to the Golan what was done to the Gaza Strip.

Of course, he makes scant reference to some of the potential disasters waiting to happen when a historical aggressive belligerent nation controls not only a substantial percentage of the water supply for Israel but the military higher ground. Nor does he take into account the cost to the economy or what it means to relocate 18,000 Israelis into Israel “proper.”
