Israeli Soldiers Refuse

Well, the soldiers are getting restless. The Expulsion is less than 60 days away, and the internal strife just keeps right on growing. This article is an indication that Sharon will have more trouble running the Jews out of Gaza than he's bargaining for. Hundreds of soldiers destroyed draft cards symbolically for local TV, and eccoed statements like this one from Likud MK, Moshe Feiglin:

"This gathering makes very clear that more and more soldiers, including Druze soldiers, will disobey orders to evacuate Jews from their homes. This disobedience will be the act that will save the army from itself and from the poisoning order of the Gaza evacuation."
The IDF is torn over this big time. I still don't believe the expulsion will ever take place.
