“The Jewish people, thank God, are extremely creative”

Using back roads, hiding in trucks, and being aided by sympathetic checkpoint soldiers and police, hundreds of anti-Expulsion protesters have successfully joined up with crowds of Gush Katif residents and infiltrated the sealed off community, which is slated for destruction next Thursday, August 15th. This was accomplished despite the deployment of over 30,000 police and IDF soldiers assigned to block all from entering the Gaza strip.

More Jews are sneaking through the cracks all the time to meet up with their embattled brethren, and as of this writing there is a mass march of at least 60,000 more who will attempt making it past the guards and into Gaza later today.

National Union MK, Aryeh Eldad, is publicly urging all protesters to head to the Gaza Jewish communities at once, saying rallies alone will not stop the expulsion from happening. Speaking with Arutz-7 Radio, MK Eldad said: "The communities here are slated for uprooting and expulsion, I see no point in organizing rallies and protests after they have set up checkpoints and fences to prevent entry. It seems to me that we have tried very many rallies, and the time has come for action."

According to the anti-expulsion organization, Women in Green, over 150 activists are already making it into Gush Katif every night.

“The Jewish people, thank G-d, are extremely creative,” said Aryeh Yitzchaki of the Gaza Absorption Authority, which is working to thwart the Expulsion Plan. “Just as they always found their way into the Land of Israel, even when the British had placed a blockade, Jews will continue to find ways into Gush Katif.”

All roads lead to Gaza right now. Stay tuned for more updates...

Sounds like Sharon is having some trouble. The idea of withdrawing Jews so the Moslems can have their own terrorist state without the burden of Jewish interference seems foolish to say the least. Besides, if this "expulsion" takes place then what's to stop more "expulsions" like this from happening in the future?

I worry that Israel's survival could be greatly compromised by this precedence.
