Ariel Sharon's speech on the Gaza pullout, something honest and surprising from a politican for a change.
He seemed to have compassion in acknowledging the Palestinians' sad plight:
"They are crowded into especially densely populated refugee camps, in poverty and suffering, in hothouses of increasingly rising hatred, without any horizon of hope."

He understood that life "without any horizon of hope" is a proven prescription for turning human beings into walking bombs.
That anger caused by this disparity would build up into rage and terror which would erupt into more fighting between Israeli military and Palestinian militants.

And the majority of Israelis seem to support Sharon's withdrawal plan from Gaza as this article says, and the withdrawal is going ahead of schedule.
