Binyamin Netanyahu has resigned his post in Israel's government in protest over the Israeli evacuation of the Gaza Strip. I got the story from Hugh Hewitt who, in spite of being on a cruise through Northern Europe under the tutelage of Prof. David Allen White, is still finding time to keep up on the latest news and blog about it.
Hugh's post (here) includes the full text of Netanyahu's resignation (English translation), and it's worth reading. He also includes analysis by Barbara Lerner of Think-Israel.
Netanyahu and Lerner both see the Gaza pullout as a looming disaster, as it gives Hamas a safe haven and a port city where Hamas can build and refine their their terror industry. The Gaza pullout is a threat not only to Israel, but to all of "the infidel," especially the US.
Netanyahu's resignation will not stop the pullout. Let's pray Ariel Sharon (or his replacement) can muster up the iron strength he will need to deal decisively with the results of his misguided policy.
