Abba Richman's comment about Gaza never being part of Palestine is wrong. The 1948 UN partition of the territories quite clearly places the Gaza Strip in Palestinian territory, as the official partition map shows. That it was absorbed into Egypt after the wars that followed the creation of the State of Israel is true, and that it was occupied by Israel in 1967, does not alter the fact that prior to Israeli and Egyptian occupation, it was, in fact, part of Palestine. An earlier map, dated 1944, also shows Gaza as being part of Palestine, north of a border with Egypt that had been demarcated in 1906. Regardless of who owned what and when, however, the images in this gallery provide an excellent insight into the pain that all people must feel when they are forcibly removed from their homes for whatever reason - whether they be Israelis, Palestinians or New Orleanians. The partition map is here, for anyone that is interested:http://www.mideastweb.org/un_palestine_partition_detail_map_sept_1947.htm

Shlomi, Incredible images or a tragic event. Keep up the great work!

A sad story, but put into images it burns and burns on. It had to be done, but one should never forget that suffering cannot be undone with countersuffering. I was there as a soldier when some of these people were evacuated from Yamit and the other Sinai settlements. This brings back harsh memories. You have my vote!

The biggest catastrophe in Israel's existence. A true recepie for more terror attacks by the peace loving palestinians. Shlomi, I wish your knowledge about Gaza would be as good as your photography. Gaza is not Palestine and never was - it was part of Egypt up to 1967 and 80% of it's citizens are held in UNWRA refugee camps and have been since 1948. This is not the creation of Israel but of Egypt and all the other Arab states. The heroes of Gush Katif have been treated like dirt by the present government, forced to pay for transporting their own belongings out of Gush Katif. Put on busses after the uprooting - men, women and children having to urinate on the busses because the soldiers would not let them off, no food given to them, no government representative on hand to see to their needs . This government has not provided any alternative housing (the only site prepared, at Nitzan has room for 300 out of the 1200 uprooted families with no store, no synagogue, no medical clinic, no public transport, no government representative) Families were dumped into hotels all over the country because the government has no plans for any of them. Where are the children supposed to go to school, what about jobs and permanent housing. This sick government gave the coral fish breeders in Eilat three yeras to prepare for their uprooting - it seems that fish are more valuable to the government of Israel than people. 42 settlements around the Gaza strip have been fortified against Kassam rocket and mortar attacks from our sweet neighbours - talk to me again when the first mortar shell explodes in Ashkelon. Gush Katif - the destruction of a $500 million export industry, 1200 homes, schools, 53 synagogues, 1200 familes left with no home, no job no schooling no hopes, all for sweet nothing. Only Jews could do this to Jews.

So now these people know what it is like to be kicked out of thier homes..It could not have happened to a more deserving bunch...It should have happened sooner,but better late than never!

Hi I have very little sympathy for the settler's activities during the evacuation, but your images are very powerful and do show the human side of this action. I do believe that t will have a positive impact on our region Good work Ilan

Powerful coverage of this event -- more intimate and involving than the news outlets

Very powerful images, Shlomi. A welcome move by Israel. Let's hope that it can signal the tentative beginnings of a new era of peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
