In August 2005, the Israeli government formally withdrew from the Gaza Strip, and it has occupied the Palestinian coastal enclave since 1967. In addition to returning to the armed forces, 21 illegal settlements it had to undergo demolition, which housed 8,000 Jewish settlers.
Israeli forces were deployed to begin the process, which attracted the heartstrings of international media such as the New York Times. The report reported sob settlers affected by Israel’s “historic pull from the Gaza Strip”, some of whom must be brought to “scream in their homes, and these scenes have left many soldiers crying”.
To be sure, nothing is like illegal colonists uprooting from a part of their land that does not belong to them and transferring to another part of their land that does not belong to them. It mentioned that the majority of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip itself is the refugees who conquered Palestinian from Israel's bloody Palestinians, resulting in 15,000 Palestinians killed 15,000 Palestinians, expelled three quarters of a million, and destroyed more than 500 Palestinian villages.
The myth of unilateral "evacuation" from Gaza has been stubbornly persisted since 2005 - and has been repeatedly cited as so-called evidence for the aristocratic will of Israeli nobles to occasionally follow the rules.
However, objectively speaking, given that the Israeli military continued to control the borders of Gaza while also experiencing punitive blockades and periodic wanton bombings, what happened in August of that year was not a "evacuation".
Israeli officials themselves have not tried to hide their true work. In 2004, while the plan was still discussed in the Israeli parliament, Dov Weisglass, senior adviser to then-Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said: "Disengagement is actually formaldehyde. It provides the amount of formaldehyde and therefore has no political process with the Palestinians."
Through the “freeze” of the political process, Weisglass went on to explain: “You can stop the establishment of a Palestinian state and stop discussions about refugees, borders and Jerusalem”. Therefore, the entire issue of the Palestinian nation has been “deleted from our agenda indefinitely” due to “disengagement”, all with the “blessing” of the President of the United States of America.
Israel has been involved in this regard as the so-called “evacuation” evacuation from Gaza has not stopped bringing life to Palestinian residents in the territory. September 28, 2005 - Dr. Eyad El-Sarraj, founder of Gaza Community Mental Health Program, wrote on the electronic revolt website:
These are the effects of Israeli aircraft carrying out a sound boom in the sky of Gaza, El-sarraj noted: “Never used before disengagement to avoid warning or harming Israeli settlers and their children”. This is just the beginning of "departure".
In 2006, Israel carried out summer rains in the Gaza Strip, which Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappe later described as "the most brutal attack on Gaza since 1967". Of course, this is before waking up Gaza in the dream of genocide of Israel’s full-scale genocide dream, which has now killed nearly 53,000 Palestinians since October 2023.
But there is a lot of cruelty between the two starting with the leader of Israel’s lineup – starting in December 2008, killing 1,400 Palestinians in 22 days, to Operation Protection on the Fringe, which massacred 2,251 people in 50 days in 2014.
With the regular outbreak of mass killings, the Israeli blockade fluctuations in the Gaza Strip have brought additional survival challenges. For example, in 2010, the BBC listed some household items that entered Gaza at different times, including “light bulbs, candles, matches, books, books, musical instruments, crayons, clothes, shoes, shoes, mattresses, mattresses, blankets, fabrics, pasta, pasta, pasta, pasta, tea, tea, tea, coffee, chocolate, nuts, shampoo and caregivers”.
In 2006, Israeli government adviser Weisglass (who revealed the same role of “formaldehyde” disengagement) also let himself frankly articulate the logic of Israel’s restrictions on Israel’s food imports: “The idea is to put Palestinians in their diet, but not to put them in hunger.”
Now that Israel is actually dead in all the Palestinians since Gaza’s death in the United States, it seems that the “idea” has been modified. Meanwhile, recent news reports say unnamed Israeli officials show that Israel is currently planning a “conquest” and a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip.
It was not an evacuation from Gaza for twenty years from Israel's withdrawal, and it is safe to speculate that "disengagement" paved the way for conquest. This time, there is no disengagement plan.
