What else can you do, but shake your head? It's unbelievable. They don't want to believe the Torah of Hashem. The Creator told us when He gave us the book what would be, but people worship their own puny thoughts and tugs on their heartstrings and gut feelings. They prefer to live in the world of their imagination instead of dealing with reality as it is. No one wants to hear about Torah law and halachah today. It's a sick, sick, sick generation!

Coexistence possible, they say - as long as outsiders don't interfere
This perverted thinking is what umtimately led to the expulsion from Gush Katif.
Bamidbar, Perek 33: "Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their temples, destroytheir molten idols, and demolish their high places. You shall clear out the Land and settle in it, for I have given you the Land to occupy it.
... But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the Land from before you, then those whom you leave over will be as spikes in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they will harass you in the land in which you settle. And it will be that what I had intended to do to them, I will do to you. [i.e., drive us out of the Land.]

Will we never learn?
