Israel begins removing settlers from Gaza:
Israeli troops fired in the air Monday to keep back hundreds of Palestinians, including a few dozen masked gunmen, who were marching toward southern Gaza's Gush Katif bloc of settlements in celebration of the impending withdrawal. The crowd burned a cardboard model of an Israeli settlement, complete with an army watchtower.I suppose it's too much to ask that the Palestinians accept this Israeli peace gesture with some small amount of decorum.
