I hope they're not saying what I think they are

If I heard this properly this morning, Israeli soldiers (and some government officials) refuse to evacuate Isreali settlres from Gaza. I swear I heard a comment along the lines of "It's difficult to move that many people from their homes."

Helllllooooo!!!!!! What happened to the Palestinian Arabs who lived there? They were evicted from their homes. I hope this is just a bad excuse to refuse Ariel Sharon's idea, which is actually a good idea and is aimed to reduce the tensions in the area. I hope all they are really saying is "It's easy to force people out at gunpoint, but we can't do that to our citizens."

The scarier thought is that the soldiers only consider Israelis to be human, or the Arabs are "sub-human." That narrow minded thinking only leads to genocide.
