Is this the Neville Chamberlain move of our time?

I know that this analogy has been oft used, and probably overused (I plead guilty to that); but dang it if it doesn't seem fitting in this case. Benjamin Netanyahu was on the Sean Hannity radio show this afternoon. Netanyahu deplored the act of removing settlers from the Gaza Strip, saying, "You must not give terrorism any quarter, nor give it any rewards." Netanyahu reminded the audience that prior to his term as prime minister, there were many suicide bomb terrorist attacks, as well as after his term, but nearly no attacks during his term. Netanyahu lamented that this move toward appeasement will likely exacerbate the terrorists' level of activity, not decrease it. He noted that a sure sign that Palestinians are not looking for peace is that they refuse to coexist. Netanyahu cited examples of many Arabs living amongst Israelis within Israel proper, yet they (the Palestinians) would not tolerate any Jews living amongst them in their lands.

In this "move toward peace", I am afraid that all Prime Minister Sharon did, outside of uprooting and alienating his countrymen, was to open Pandora's box even wider. The terroristic acts and murderous seeds planted by the Palestinians over these decades have finally borne fruit. Look for more of these poisoned seeds to be planted in the grove in the near future.
