Debate on Gaza Withdrawal: Palestinian Sociologist vs. the Zionist Organization of America
As Israeli troops began the forced evacuation of thousands of Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip, we host a debate between Morton Klein, the head of the Zionist Organization of America and Rabab Abdulhadi, the head of the Center for Arab American Studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
The latest news out of Gaza is that Israeli troops have begun the forced evacuation of thousands of Jewish settlers from the Gaza strip. This comes after a deadline for them to leave expired last night. This operation is the culmination of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan from the Gaza strip. Israeli security forces say that in the last 24 hours they arrested 498 people. More than 450 of them were released.
Government eviction notices went into effect on Monday but settlers were given 48 hours to leave or be removed from all 21 settlements in Gaza and four of 120 in the West Bank. Many of Gaza's 8,500 settlers packed up trucks ahead of the Wednesday deadline to quit Gaza. But the army estimated about half the settler population would remain, in defiance of the order.
* Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America.
* Rabab Abdulhadi, Palestinian professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. She is the Director of the University's Center for Arab American Studies.
