What will become of Gaza?

I received this letter from Roland Rance on Friday just gone and posted it to my Jews against Zionism blog.The letter, signed by Uri Davis, Ilan Pappe and Tamar Yaron "raises tbe alarm" to warn of a possible large-scale Israeli attack on Gaza following the withdrawal of settlers.

The publication in Ha'aretz (22 June 2005) quoting statements by General (Reserves) Eival Giladi, the head of the Coordination and Strategy team of the Prime Minister's Office, motivated us not to delay publication and circulation any further. Confirming our worst fears, General (Res.) Eival Giladi went on record in print and on television to the effect that "Israel will act in a very resolute manner in order to prevent terror attacks and [militant] fire while the disengagement is being implemented" and that "If pinpoint response proves insufficient, we may have to use weaponry that causes major collateral damage, including helicopters and planes, with mounting danger to surrounding people."

Sharon even has a cunning plan to keep killing Palestinians until Palestinians kill Israelis prompting Israeli "reprisals"

The scenario could be similar to what has already happened in the past - a tactic that Ariel Sharon has used many times in his military career - i.e., utilizing provocation in order to launch massive attacks.

Actually, given that he has done it so many times before, it's not that cunning but the media and government here just love falling for that one.
