"I`ll Pretend That You Are Asking a serious question.
[Israeli] civilians have been the target of over 5000 rockets after
they withdrew from Gaza with a promise of peace."
(Brad to `Israeli optimist` #4)

I`ll Pretend That You have been lied to.
Nobody has ever promised peace to Israel for withdrawing from Gaza.

Straight from the horse`s mouth:
Question: "You have said that the settlements in Gaza were
a historic mistake?"
Answer: "I believe so. Having thousands of Jewish settlers among
millions of Palestinians is a mistake, and we will not stay
in Gaza forever." Shaul Mofaz,
then Sharon`s Minister of Defense, answering Lally Weymouth,
May 2004.
