Khaled Abu Tomeh, reporting from Ramallah:
As far as many residents here are concerned, the evacuation of the settlers from the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank is just a "play" designed to show the world that Israel was prepared to make painful concessions for the sake of peace. Only a few Palestinians believe that the confrontations between the settlers and IDF and police forces in some areas were real.
You have to wonder where they'd even get such an idea. You know, that someone would actually stage a fake spectacle for the television cameras to win sympathy and make political points?
Sick.
