I'm No Fan of the Gaza Pullout
It really bothers me to watch the strife in Israel over Sharon's pullout from Gaza. Israeli citizens are being pulled out of their homes as an appeasement to enemies of Israel, and only Israel is to blame. Israel has been beset by enemies on all sides since its inception thousands of years ago, and today is no different. One difference today, though, is that we have a United Nations to give those enemies political viability. Under the UN's influence, Israel was restored, only to be divided. At every step, attempts have been made to divide her further.
I believe that Israel should be restored to its biblical borders. My own choice would be those borders of the time of David, minus conquered Syrian land. In current border standards, this would mean the whole of the current borders of Israel, plus the West Bank and Gaza areas. There are no historical "palestinian" claims to these areas that can compete with the claims of Israel.
Luckily, the Bible, being a book of future history in addition to the past, tells of a future united Israel. I only wish that Ariel Sharon was working to reconquer the whole of Israel instead of giving it away.

I really, really, really hope Sharon knows what he's doing. My hope is that when Hamas continues their attack, Sharon will use this as an excuse to roll every tank and bulldozer he can find all the way through the entire Gaza strip.
